C5 Too Cheap

A moment later, Yi Shaan's servant led a young man in.

Wu Bingjian looked at the man. The man was about twenty years old. He was dressed in western clothes and had no braids on his head like a foreigner. However, judging from his appearance, he was indeed a yellow man.

"Greetings, my lord, my lords." The young man cupped his hands at everyone and greeted them.

These people also stood up and cupped their hands at the young man in return. "Greetings, Young Master Lin."

"Young Master Lin, these are all businessmen from Guangzhou and the God of Wealth of Qing. As long as you can convince them, your business will be easy." Yi Shaan said to Lin Chen with a smile.

Hearing this, Lin Chen's eyes lit up when he heard this. He had some understanding of the 13th row in Guangzhou. Of course, the 13th row was just a general name. Initially, it was the 13th row, but later on, it was reduced and increased. He was afraid that there would be dozens of them now.

It was not an exaggeration to describe these dozens of companies as wealthy as an enemy country, especially one called Wu Bingjian, who was said to be the richest man in the world. His assets were worth tens of millions of taels of silver.

"Young Master Lin, this old man is Wu Bingjian. There is something that I don't understand. Young Master, please enlighten me." Wu Bingjian was the first to speak.

Lin Chen did not expect this skinny old man to be the richest man in the world. He quickly cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Wu is too polite. I will tell you everything I know."

"General just said that the soldiers of the English and barbarians outside the city are all thanks to this cannon. I wonder if it is true?" Wu Bingjian was the first to ask the question everyone was most concerned about.

"Of course it's true. Although this cannon doesn't look as big as the one in Qing Dynasty, it's made of steel. The cannonballs are also made of new gunpowder, and their range can reach up to 20 miles. " This time, my subordinate fired the cannon, and my luck was pretty good. One shot landed on the cannonballs of the Anglo-Yi Cannon Formation. "It directly destroyed their cannons." Lin Chen said with a smile.

"Hiss..." Everyone took a deep breath when they heard this.

Wu Bingjian asked excitedly, "Is this cannon really that powerful?"

"Of course. I wouldn't dare lie to you. Besides, it's true that the foreigners are retreating outside the city." Lin Chen nodded and said.

Yi Shaan also said, "I can testify that the soldiers on the city wall reported that the British have retreated."

"If we had dozens of such cannons, wouldn't we be able to defeat the English?" Wu Bingjian was even more excited. He did not want the Qing army to lose a war. Once they lost, he would lose his privilege and his family business would be ruined by him.

"About this." Yi Shaan said, "This cannon is good, but the price is not low. This cannon costs 15,000 taels, and the shell costs one hundred taels."

Hearing this, Lin Chen couldn't help but look at Yi Shaan. This bastard was really shameless. He had already made a lot of money by asking for 10,000 gold taels, but this bastard had actually increased the price by 5,000 gold taels.

These five thousand taels definitely wouldn't fall into his hands in the end. In the end, he would be swallowed by this shameless thing.

"Fifteen thousand taels!" Hearing this price, Wu Bingjian's voice rose a little.

Lin Chen looked at Yi Shaan with dissatisfaction. You are asking for too high a price. Just as he was about to say that he could lower the price, he heard another person say.

"Only 15,000 silver!"

Lin Chen finally understood. It turned out that it was not because they thought it was too expensive, but because they thought it was cheap.

Wu Bingjian told them he wanted to pay them 6 million silver, which was 4 million taels of silver. These people were ready to accept it. Now that such a cannon was only 15,000 silver taels, these people wished they could buy dozens of cannons. They were not afraid of the English army. As for the one hundred or one cannonballs, they bought a few thousand. This would let the English know the taste of being bombarded.

Wu Bingjian, of course, had the same thought. He immediately asked, "How many cannons does Young Master Lin have? "How many cannonballs do you have?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "There are hundreds of cannons, and there are tens of thousands of cannonballs. Of course, we can't defeat the English with only cannons. I have better guns than the English. 200 silver, 1000 bullets. "With these weapons, as long as we operate it well, it's not impossible to wipe out the English."

Even so, there are many warships in the British. Our turrets are all occupied by the English. When the time comes, we will have no choice but to escape. " I'm afraid that they will go north again. Even if we win, it won't help. " Wu Bingjian suddenly sighed when he heard Lin Chen say that he would wipe out the Ying army.

"Don't worry, Mr. Wu. Apart from cannons and guns, it will not help. I still have a ship, and it's far more than a British ship. " My warships are made of steel. The British cannons can only leave a mark on them. But my ship cannons, one shot down. It must sink the British ship. Furthermore, my warships... Their speed is three times faster than the British, and the range of their cannons is far. Even if they can't beat them, they can't escape. " Lin Chen said proudly.

Of course, he was telling the truth. His predecessor had brought many weapons and equipment, and there were hundreds of warships. They were all the main warships of World War II. From battleships to submarines.

Lin Chen was full of confidence, but Wu Bingjian showed a look of disbelief. As a person who had been trading with foreign countries all year round, he knew the reputation of the Never Setting Sun Empire. It could be said that this was the most powerful country in the world.

Even if Young Master Lin had such powerful cannons and guns, it was hard for him to believe that warships were more powerful than the English. If Lin Chen was really so powerful, why would he need to do business? He could just ask them for money when he saw the warship in England.

Lin Chen could tell Wu Bingjian was confused. He smiled and took out a few photos from his pocket and handed them to him. "Mr. Wu, please take a look."

Wu Bingjian took the photos and was stunned. As a wealthy businessman, he had taken photos before, but they were black and white. Lin Chen gave him colorful photos.

The photos were of a warship. There were many people standing on the warship. Judging from the size of the people, the ship was huge. Judging from the color of the forehead, it was definitely not a wooden ship.

"If Mr. Wu still doesn't believe it, my ship is overseas. It can be docked at any time. Let everyone board the ship to see what is going on." Lin Chen said.

Wu Bingjian finally realized what was going on. He passed the picture to his companion who had been wanting to see it. He then said awkwardly, "It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that it's out of my expectations."

After a pause, he said, "But I think this ship doesn't have many cannons. Can it be bigger than the British warships?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "This Mr. Wu doesn't understand. Warships are not as many as cannons. It was defense, speed, and the power of the cannon. For example, The enemy ships are like soldiers in plain clothes with bows and arrows in their hands, and my ships are all in thick steel. Soldiers with muskets in their hands, regardless of the power of the weapons on both sides, The power of both weapons is incomparable. "
