Chapter 290 The Road to the Rise of Daqin

"Dong, dun, dun."

In Li Chen's study in Lijiazhuang, Li Chen was knocking on the chair handle like the Emperor of First Emperor, while Chen Ping and Xiao He were waiting in the study.

The swaying light shone on Li Chen's thoughtful face. After a long time, Li Chen slowly raised his head and said slowly: "In the past, there was a country called Snake Kingdom. Although this Snake Kingdom has a large population, it is actually not a powerful country. However, Snake Kingdom dreams of the eldest, the second and third all day long. The most powerful weapon in the world is a big ship called an aircraft carrier, and Snake Kingdom dreams of its own aircraft carrier all day long. Although this dream seems like a joke to others, no one can be awesome if they have dreams. Although the economy next door is getting depressed, its military power is very strong. It happened that a aircraft carrier of the White Bear Kingdom was broken at this time, and with the current economic strength of the White Bear Kingdom, there is no money to repair the aircraft carrier, so he naturally put his ideas on the landlord's stupid son Snake Kingdom."

"The White Bear Kingdom asked for 700,000 taels of silver, and the Snake Kingdom was only willing to pay 500,000 taels of silver. The matter was stalemate for a while, but the representative of the White Bear Kingdom came the next day. This time, the representative of the White Bear Kingdom said, "We don't want silver anymore, we will give it to you directly. But look at it, the ship is broken and you can't drive away. Why not do this? We are responsible for repairing it for you and then giving you all the supporting facilities. We only charge one cost price."

"When the Snake Kingdom heard this, I was so happy. Who knew that the White Bear Kingdom pulled out the quotation order, and it was a total of 1.5 million taels of silver. When the representative of the Snake Kingdom saw the price, although it felt that it was a little higher than he thought, but when he thought that his technology was not as good as the White Bear Kingdom, and the supporting facilities were not as good as the White Bear Kingdom. If the price was higher, it would be a little higher. After all, the price was not unacceptable. So the two companies signed a contract and agreed on the day to carry the ship."

"The days have passed day by day. When the agreed date for carrying the ship, the people from the Snake Kingdom went to the pier of the White Bear Kingdom. When they saw it, the people from the Snake Kingdom were stunned. The ship was still parked in its original place, and the one thousand was still like now, and it was not repaired at all. At this time, the people from the White Bear Kingdom spoke. It was not that we didn't give it to repair it, but that you didn't give it enough money. If you want to carry the ship now, you have to add more money. When the representative of the Snake Kingdom heard that this was OK, he would not buy it.

The place where the money is paid is separated here, and the place where the money is refunded is in Afghanistan. Afghanistan is there, and the representative of the Snake Kingdom does not know, and the key is not to ask. In short, I just want to refund the money, let alone the door, and the windows are gone. When the people of the Snake Kingdom heard this, it is not OK. They have paid so much money, and now they have no place to buy it. If they don’t buy it, they will lose two aircraft carriers alive. There is no way, and after bargaining, I added another 2 million taels of silver."

"In the middle, the people of the White Bear Kingdom asked the people of the Snake Kingdom to increase the money for various reasons. If you don't add money, you won't repair the ship. The money you paid before will not be refunded. There is no way that the Snake Kingdom was stuck in the throat by the White Bear Kingdom, and they could only pay reluctantly again and again. In a blink of an eye, they were looking at the White Bear Kingdom, taking the Snake Kingdom's money to study high-end weapons, changing their troops, and then fiddling with the things they replaced on the big ship. When the Snake Kingdom picked up the ship, they thought they had bought some high-end technology, and they shouted that they were the best in the world all day long."

Chen Ping and Xiao He recalled the story told by Li Chen. The scenes in this story also apply to the current Daqin and the Huns. The Huns spent a lot of money to buy Daqin's weapons and thought that their strength had been greatly enhanced. But in the eyes of Daqin, they were the stupid sons of the landlords. Daqin used their silver to update the equipment for the soldiers, and then sold the eliminated equipment to them.

After being stunned for a while, Xiao He raised his head and said, "Marty, the people on the grassland have kidnapped many craftsmen from our Daqin before. For tribes that cannot afford money, we can let them trade with craftsmen. It would be okay if the price of these craftsmen is increased several times."

"Tell me?" Li Chen said.

"Although the craftsmen on the grassland are not very good, they should still have the skills to repair weapons. If we bring these craftsmen back, the grassland people will not have the means to repair weapons. These weapons will be depleted. When these weapons are depleted, we will arrange some caravans to recycle second-hand weapons, and then repair them a little and sell them to the grassland. In this way, this business can be said to be a business without any cost." Xiao He twisted his beard and said.

"Can this work?" Li Chen asked hesitantly. Not all people on the grassland are fools, and someone can see the importance of craftsmen to the grassland.

"Marty, the reason why the alien races in the grassland value craftsmen is because craftsmen can help them cast weapons. But now they can easily buy better weapons from Daqin, so craftsmen are naturally not so important to them." Xiao He said in a plain tone.

“Recycling second-hand swords, polishing and waxing of shields, professional chariot spraying, repairing, cleaning of interiors…”

Li Chen instantly felt a sense of picture in his mind. After thinking about it carefully, what Xiao He said seemed to make sense.

This vision and mind are the best in this era. This model is much more reliable than Accountant Jia's ecosystem theory in his previous life. This is Xiao He's theory of arms perpetual motion machine.

"We must be responsible for all transactions, and the transportation fee of 5% of the goods is temporarily charged. For such a large-scale military transaction, it is necessary to ensure that there is no sword or arrow used in the territory of Daqin." Li Chen thought for a while and added firmly.

The Qin Dynasty has millions of soldiers, and the replaced equipment is even more massive. For the Qin Dynasty, these equipment is a pity to be abandoned. It requires a lot of military spending every year to store and repair it. However, since the steel equipment was replaced, these bronze weapons were useless. As the arms dealer appointed by the First Emperor, Li Chen’s current task is to sell these second-hand weapons out of the situation that is most beneficial to the Qin Dynasty.

"Mr. Marquis, it's better to bid." Xiao He said after thinking about it.

Since the bidding for infrastructure such as schools, cement roads and other infrastructure in Daqin a few years ago, bidding seems to have been used in large-scale transactions in various industries in Daqin. The bidder does not need to find buyers by themselves. As long as he has enough reputation, someone will naturally bid. Ordnance is an jealous business and can naturally attract countless people to bid.

Open bidding and selling of military weapons is really a crazy idea. You should know that the military weapons business is rarely put on the surface. However, this is also the first part of the Qin Dynasty's wealth with military weapons, and selling of military weapons is also the most effective way to enhance national strength.

Haven't you seen that the Bald Eagle Kingdom in his previous life became the world's number one by selling arms. The whole world took his arms to death. When everyone was destroyed, he, the arms dealer, turned into the world's number one power.
