C8 They've Lived for Decades

Lin Chen wanted to go out for a walk, but Yi Shaan's personal guards didn't stop him. They all knew it now. This was a merchant from overseas. He was the one who scared the English away with his cannon.

As for Lin Chen escaping, stop joking around. The cannon in the yard was worth more than ten thousand taels. With this thing, no one would believe that they would leave.

The two of them strolled to a teahouse that they had agreed upon. The waiter welcomed them with a smile. "Young Master Lin, our master is waiting for you inside."

Only then did Lin Chen know that this teahouse was probably the property of the Wu family.

Wu Bingjian stood outside the private room and cupped his hands at Lin Chen. "This old man has the audacity to invite Young Master Lin here. I hope that Young Master Lin will not blame me."

"Old mister, you are too polite." Lin Chen smiled and cupped his hands.

After entering the room, Wu Bingjian began to talk to Lin Chen about the current situation. The Western Ocean countries did not talk about the main topic.

Lin Chen noticed that he looked at Zhaocai from time to time. He smiled and said, "Old mister, don't worry. Zhaocai is my housekeeper. You can say whatever you want to say."

"We can't hide it from Mr. Lin," Lin Chen said. "After we returned to the shop, we had a discussion. It is our duty to share the burden of the Imperial Court. It is just that you may not know about the matters in the country. " The Eight Flags have long been destroyed. The Green Camp can't take them out now. "I'm afraid that they might not be able to use them well even if they have good equipment."

"Our traveling merchants look glorious, but only we know the bitterness of it. Once the British attack the city, " I'm afraid we will be in trouble. This time, Young Master Lin is invited. He wanted to ask if there were any better weapons. I don't have any other intentions to sell some to us. I only want to protect myself. " Wu Bingjian felt that Lin Chen was somewhat similar to the people of Western Ocean. He didn't like too many twists and turns. He decided to make it clear.

"Of course I have weapons. For example, the guns I sold to the Imperial Court today. Although they are better than the guns currently on the market, they still need to pull the bolt when firing a gun. " I have another type of gun. It can store 50-300 bullets in a short period of time. Even if it's one against a hundred, it won't be afraid. " Lin Chen immediately became interested when he heard that Wu Bingjian wanted to buy a weapon. He recommended the MG42 machine gun to Lin Chen.

"Is there really such a sharp weapon in the world?" Wu Bingjian's first reaction when he heard Lin Chen's words was disbelief.

"Of course I will not lie to you. Zhaocai will show you the information." Lin Chen smiled and said to Zhaocai.

Zhaocai nodded. He took out a tablet from his pocket and turned on a video.

The video showed Zhaocai experimenting with guns.

Wu Bingjian was surprised to see this strange thing that could release video and sound, but he was soon attracted by the content of the video.

The gun made a clicking sound, and the muzzle of the gun seemed to be burning. Not far away, there was a string of wine bottles that were shattered one by one.

"It really is a good thing, but I wonder how much this machine gun costs?" After watching the video, Wu Bingjian was extremely happy. He was sure that this was the equipment he wanted, so he hurriedly asked.

"This kind of gun has a complicated structure, so the cost is naturally much higher. A gun costs 500 silver taels, and a gift of 2000 bullets." Lin Chen said with a smile.

"Then give me 20!" Wu Bingjian said immediately.

"It's only twenty," Wu Bingjian said. "You don't have to pay. Just treat it as me giving it to old mister." Lin Chen said.

This is something that can't be earned without merit. How can it be done? " Wu Bingjian didn't think that Lin Chen would give away something worth more than ten thousand taels of silver just like that. He said with a smile.

Of course, he knew in his heart that Lin Chen wouldn't get up early without benefits. Since he was willing to give him these things, he must have some thoughts.

"Old mister, don't you want to know how I made these things?" Lin Chen asked with a smile.

"Is Young Master Lin going to sell these weapons to me?" Wu Bingjian knew that there were many factories in the west now. Many things were not handmade. He thought Lin Chen wanted to sell the weapon production line to him. His eyes lit up and he asked.

"Of course, it's not a problem for the old gentleman to want these equipment. But even with these equipment, how can the old gentleman have so much copper and suppress it? The price of such a production line is not cheap." Lin Chen said with a smile.

"What does Young Master Lin mean?" Young Master Lin asked. Wu Bingjian felt strange when Lin Chen said that. Since he didn't want to sell these equipment to me, Then what do you want to do?

"A person's life is full of life and death. They can't live without food and clothing. Of course, the most profitable thing is this. " You must know that the textile industry is very developed, and the textile industry is very cheap. "I have textile equipment that is far more advanced than the western people. I can weave more than 30 pieces of cloth every day. "A skilled worker can watch a few machines by himself." Lin Chen said with a smile.

"How is this possible? Normally, a skilled weaver can weave a piece of cloth more than three feet a day. Even if they are very skilled, it will take four days to weave a piece of cloth." Wu Bingjian did not believe what Lin Chen said at all. This was simply a fantasy.

"Zhaocai." Lin Chen didn't waste any time. He signaled Zhaocai to go on the video.

Zhaocai clicked on the video again. In the clean house, there was the sound of a machine buzzing. The white cloth kept coming out of the machine, but there was not a single worker.

"Today, I finally know that I am a frog in a well. I don't know the immensity of heaven and earth." Wu Bingjian sighed. He felt that his life had been in vain.

"I want to do this kind of business with you. What do you think?" Lin Chen knew how much of a shock these videos had brought to a Qing Dynasty man. He asked with a smile.

"Since Young Master Lin has such a powerful weapon, why do you want to work with me?" Wu Bingjian couldn't figure it out, so he asked.

"It's simple. Old mister has connections, and I only have machines and equipment." Lin Chen was also helpless. He wanted to do it himself, but he was not familiar with the place, so he could not do it.

"I hope Young Master Lin can give me some time to think about these things. As for the guns, I will buy them at the price. My friends will also need them. When I receive the goods, I will bring some money to you." Wu Bingjian could not make up his mind at the moment. He had no choice but to settle the deal first.

"I am not in a hurry. I will listen to you." Lin Chen smiled. He knew Wu Bingjian would not be able to accept it at the moment. He would have to think about it slowly.

After the negotiation was done, the two of them started to talk about other things.

Lin Chen relied on his bottle of dissatisfaction to talk to Wu Bingjian about the matters in the Western Ocean, which made Wu Bingjian feel that Lin Chen knew a lot. Of course, this was mainly because Lin Chen didn't want to talk about actual things with him. Everything he said was false.

If he really talked about some matters, he was afraid that he would be exposed.
