Huang Xing did not hide it and replied directly: "Yes, Governor..."

"The large number of Japanese weapons we seized on the battlefield cannot be equipped with troops... Instead of piled in the warehouse and rust, it is better to take them out and exchange them for some silver and pay the soldiers..."

"And many of those weapons are old weapons that have been used for several years, and they are not suitable for selling them to the Governor. n∈n∈,.

"Finally, I will also give the Governor a promise here. No matter how the weapons of our foreign trade company are sold, the price we give to you is only 80% of the price of the foreign trade company, and we will never let the Governor suffer."

"In addition, we will never sell heavy weapons such as heavy machine guns, artillery, etc. in foreign trade companies. Of course, if the Governor is interested, our Liaodong Army can sell you some at a very suitable price..."

While speaking, Huang Xing had already taken out a list of prepared early and sent it to Zhang Zhidong. "Eighteen field cannons and twenty heavy machine guns, are you sure that these heavy weapons are sold to me..." After scanning the content of the list, Zhang Zhidong immediately widened his eyes and asked back with an incredible look on his face.

"Yes..." Huang Xing said affirmatively.

"They are sold to you at half the market price. Moreover, all weapons are 80% new, and each weapon provides a base ammunition. As long as you are willing, you can reach Hanyang Pier at most one month..."

Temptation, and very fatal temptation.

Zhang Zhidong knew very well that the Liaodong Army would give him the conditions to agree to the conditions for them to sell weapons in Hanyang.

But so what if you know? The conditions issued by the Liaodong Army are really tempting.

Whether it is the 80% price that ordinary weapons are sold to you or the list of heavy weapons in your hand, they are all full of temptation.

Although he violated the laws of the court after he agreed, in order to increase the combat effectiveness of the Hubei New Army and increase the military strength in his hands, he can have more capital for speaking in the court.

Zhang Zhidong compromised and agreed very readily to Huang Xing's request to open a foreign trade company and sell weapons.

On the third day, on the third day of Huang Xing, the Liaodong Foreign Trade Company was established.

As for the company address, it is the original address of Huaxing Company.

As a former businessman, Huang Xing knew that he wanted to complete the commander's mission. The most important thing was to have a good start.

The sooner the people here understand and know about the foreign trade company, the greater the chance of completing the task smoothly.

Huang Xing, who was a little proficient in business, immediately thought of the two thousand rifles and ammunition he brought from Liaodong.

In this society that is calm on the surface, but is actually full of chaos.

Weapons and ammunition are definitely the most jealous weapon to save lives.

None of the merchants and gentry in Hanyang and Hankou do not want to have a new weapon equipped with a guard that can be used to protect the home and protect the safety of his own.

Although they bought a lot of weapons from foreigners with their strong capital.

However, the weapons sold to them by foreigners are too expensive, and even if they have a fortune, they cannot buy too much.

If you take out half of the rifle and give it for free in the situation of returning the gift, it will definitely attract many people to attend the company's opening ceremony.

At that time, even if these people come to attend the opening ceremony of the Liaodong Foreign Trade Company, it is for the rifle.

But no matter what, as long as they come, the reputation of Liaodong Foreign Trade Company will be made.

With a certain reputation, you can collect and transport talents to Liaodong through foreign trade companies.

At the same time, I can also use the foreign trade company to hold a grand investment promotion conference to instigate the merchants here to invest in Liaodong.

Two days later, any businessmen and gentry with a little reputation in Hankou, Hanyang received invitations to the opening ceremony of the Liaodong Foreign Trade Company.

For them, new companies open every day in Hankou, Hanyang. If they go to the opening ceremony of each company by themselves, they will be exhausted.

Therefore, most people’s first idea for such a sudden company is to ignore it.

But this time it was different.

Huang Xing wrote clearly on each invitation letter, and anyone who went there could receive a return gift from five rifles.

Faced with the temptation of the rifle, the merchants and gentlemen who were about to throw the invitation aside and ignored him immediately became interested.

Many people are wondering who is the backend of this foreign trade company and what kind of powerful force it has.

One person has five rifles, and one hundred people are five hundred rifles. When weapons are priced but not in the market, this is definitely a very big deal.

So, whether it was for the rifle or to see who the Liaodong Foreign Trade Company was backstage, these people decided to go to the Liaodong Foreign Trade Company on the same day.

He only sent out one hundred and fifty invitation letters, but in the end nearly two hundred merchants and gentry came.

This result was something Huang Xing did not expect.

However, Huang Xing was very happy. The more people came, the more powerful the Liaodong Foreign Trade Company opened, and the more famous it would be.

In front of nearly two hundred people, Huang Xing did not hide it and directly said that the Liaodong Foreign Trade Company was established by the Liaodong Army, and was specially stationed in Hanyang to sell the Liaodong Army to obtain various materials, weapons and ammunition in the Japanese and Russian armies...

Speaking of the Liaodong Army, everyone here is very familiar with it.

Because, under the leadership of Governor Zhang Zhidong, they all raised money for the Liaodong Army.

So, as soon as Huang Xing finished speaking, everyone started to talk, and the entire venue became boiling.

This is, a businessman suddenly stood up and asked, "You said you can sell weapons, but I don't know if the quantity is large or the price is. Don't be like those foreign companies, just some old weapons, which are expensive..."

Huang Xing replied with a positive look: "Don't worry, we sell the latest rifles and pistols equipped by the Japanese and Russian armies. As for the price, it is definitely cheaper than foreign companies."

"As for the quantity, unless you want to form an army, we can sell you as much as you want..."

In this way, in this lively atmosphere, the opening ceremony, which lasted for two hours, ended successfully.

Huang Xing did not disappoint everyone. Every guest who came to attend the ceremony took away a box of five rifles when he left.

On the surface, Huang Xing lost nearly a thousand rifles, but if sold, 50,000 taels of silver would be indispensable.

However, the effect of these nearly a thousand rifles is amazing.

Starting the next day, the entire Hankou and Hanyang were talking about this foreign trade company.

What's more, some interested people went to foreign trade companies to see what the foreign trade company sold? If possible, they would buy some of them themselves, which was considered support for the Liaodong army to fight the Japanese and Russians.

Looking at the endless stream of people in the company, Huang Xing laughed.
Chapter completed!
