Chapter 285 Buying Arms
After officially becoming the leader, Capenberg returned to his room again, and at the same time, he also called in his chief negotiator and counselor Werther.
The two were sitting on either side of the desk.
"Witter, how's the manpower going?" Kapenberg asked in a deep voice after taking a cigar.
"No problem, there are many peripheral members who want to become full members of our family! I have carefully selected 30,000 people among them, all of them are strong men who have more or less experience in life and death fighting. Can be a good player!" Werther replied.
Hearing this, Kapenberg nodded silently and continued to ask, "How about the arms?"
"There is a huge shortage of arms. At present, the arms that our family can produce is limited. If we want to quickly arm the newly added 30,000 people, it is simply not enough!" Werther frowned.
"Then go buy it!" Capombecki said decisively.
"Yes!" After nodding, Weite said hesitantly, "But our money may not be enough!"
"kindness!?"
Kapenberg frowned and asked, "How can it be not enough? I remember that the income from our new season's wine sales has been shipped into the family. These should be more than enough to buy arms, right?"
Although the Capone family does things like arms, drugs, protection fees, and whatever the Mafia would do, those are not their main income, their main income is alcohol!
Relying on their strong family strength, the Capone family has forcibly monopolized the wine industry of all nearby kingdoms. Whether it is selling or buying wine, as long as it is a nearby kingdom, then every bottle of wine can bring them a harvest!
So they also have amazing revenue every quarter!
"Yes, normally it's more than enough, but it's different recently!" Weitt nodded, changed his voice, and explained, "Recently, a group of pirates who came back from the Great Waterway is trying to monopolize the arms trade in the entire West Sea!"
"In the beginning, their methods were also very peaceful. They just used a large number of cheap and high-quality arms from nowhere, and frantically sold them to the people who needed arms around them, and monopolized them with super high cost performance! "
Speaking of which, Werther showed a helpless expression and said,
"But because of the large volume of shipments and the ultra-cheap price, the surrounding arms dealers can't sell the arms! So these arms dealers quit and started to gather people to jointly try to kill this group of people!"
"It's just that they didn't expect that this group of pirates is very powerful, so not only did they have no losses in the conflict between the two sides, but they killed all the combined arms dealers in less than two months, and they succeeded. It has monopolized the arms of a small area!"
"However, the arms dealer's method seems to have aroused the murderous intention of this group of pirates, so they did not stop after that, but recruited troops and prepared to attack other arms dealers and use force to monopolize arms sales in the entire West Sea!"
"Therefore, all the arms dealers are now in danger. In order to prevent this group of pirates from coming to the door, they have begun to reduce the sales of arms, and they are recruiting troops and preparing to join forces to deal with this group of pirates!"
"So, the arms of the arms dealers are either not sold to those who keep them armed, or they are sold at very high prices. Our money is definitely not enough!"
After hearing Werther's explanation, a rare solemn expression appeared on Capenberg's face.
He doesn't care if the arms dealer is killed. He doesn't care if someone wants to monopolize arms. Anyway, the Capone family's main business is to monopolize wine. Arms is just a bonus. For them, it doesn't matter if they can do it or not. .
But the price of arms has risen, and there is a problem!
Their next goal is to unify the entire Xihai underground world, and the most essential, most important, and first step in this process is arms!
Without arms, all their next actions will be affected to a certain extent, or postponed!
After thinking about it for a while, Kapenberg breathed out a puff of smoke, his eyes flashed a little, and asked, "So have you contacted those arms dealers?"
"I've contacted, all the arms dealers have been contacted, and the prices have gone up dramatically!" Witt said helplessly.
"No, I mean, those pirate arms dealers who came back from the great waterway!" Capenberg shook his head and said.
Werther was slightly taken aback!
Not to mention that he has never contacted this group of pirates, or even thought about it at all!
After all, he was born in the West Sea. When he was in urgent need of arms, he subconsciously contacted arms dealers who had contacted in the past, or well-known arms dealers with guaranteed reputation.
For this group of pirate arms dealers who came back from the great waterway and rose in a short period of time, he really never thought about contacting them!
He shook his head and said truthfully, "Not really!"
This answer did not surprise Capenberg, he nodded silently, pointed to the phone bug on the table, and said, "Then get in touch now!"
"Yes!" After nodding, Weite picked up the phone and dialed.
Although he didn't know the phone number of this pirate group, it was not a problem for him. The Capone family had been in the West Sea for so many years, and the intelligence was still very strong, so after making several calls in a row, He got on the phone of this group of pirates.
"Hey, hello! This is the Jet Pirates, what do you need? Please tell me if you buy arms directly, please tell me if you buy arms with valuable items as collateral, please tell me if you don't have money or items to pledge and want to shamelessly buy arms. Say three, those who are looking for trouble or revenge, please get out!" A soft female voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Uh"
After listening, Werther and Capenberg looked at each other, and both saw a trace of confusion in each other's eyes.
what the hell?
And this way of selling arms?
But soon, Werther reacted and replied, "One!"
"Okay, then enter the second stage, please say one for those who will send the ammunition, please say two if you pick it up at the store, and please say three when you return to the first stage!" The soft female voice came again.
"Uh what's the difference?" Werther asked.
"Yes, dear! The price is a little more expensive for package delivery, and if the quantity is small, it is not acceptable. If you pick it up yourself, the price is cheaper, no matter how much it is!" A soft female voice replied.
After the female voice finished speaking, Werther turned his inquiring eyes to Kapenberg.
Capombecki raised two fingers after thinking for a moment.
Werther glanced at it, nodded clearly, and said, "Then two!"
"Okay, then we've entered the third stage!" After the female voice said a sentence, she changed her voice and said in a serious tone, "The following is the price of the arms we sell, 65,000 Bailey for a flintlock gun, and 100,000 for a flying thunder god cannon. , 900,000 smoothbore guns, bullets. Cannonballs!"
After speaking, the female voice paused and continued,
"You can calculate by yourself. If you want to buy less than 100 million, you don't need to make a reservation. You can pick it up directly at the store. If it is more than 100 million, please say 1. Say three!"
"hiss!"
At this price, Werther and Capenberg couldn't help but take a deep breath.
They also make arms themselves. Naturally, they know how ridiculously cheap this price is. It's basically the cost price. If they sell it at this price, it's strange that those arms dealers don't look for them desperately!
However, they couldn't help showing joy immediately. They came to buy arms this time. Naturally, the cheaper the better!
"What's the difference?" Werther asked.
"The first type will give you a 50% discount, the second type will give you a 10% discount, and the third type will give you a 20% discount!" a soft female voice replied.
Can it be cheaper?
The brains of Werther and Capenberg were instantly shut down!
If it is calculated at 20% off, it is simply a loss-making price!
Unexpectedly, this group of pirates even dared to sell at this price, are they not afraid of losing money?
However, neither of them were stupid, and they quickly figured out that if they didn't make money, would this group of pirates sell at this price?
Given such a low price, their cost price must be lower, right?
Thinking like this, they couldn't help but want to find out who the supplier behind this group of pirates is!
Wouldn't it have made a profit if the Capones had access to suppliers or knew why they kept the cost down?
At this moment, after the two looked at each other in dismay, they could see the heartbeat in each other's eyes!
"How about the quality?" Werther asked hesitantly.
"You can rest assured of the quality, the most correct is the top-quality goods, you can inspect the goods on the spot, and you can reject them if they are not qualified!" explained a soft female voice.
Kapenberg nodded at Witt, and after making a three gesture, he took a piece of white paper and wrote it down. After a while, an order for arms worth one billion was placed in front of Witte.
"Okay, we want the third one!" Werther said solemnly.
"Okay, what is your name, where is your location, and what ammunition you want, we will record it for you. After half a month, we will be able to trade, but during the period, we will send someone to confirm it and charge a percentage Ten deposit!" A soft female voice explained.
"Okay, my name is Werther, and I'm from Capone Island, the Capone family. For arms, we'll need five thousand flintlocks, one hundred smoothbore guns, and bullets. Cannonballs." I thought about it.
This time, they just placed an order tentatively, so they only placed an order of one billion!
Once this transaction is completed, and the quality of the arms given by the other party is also good, they will place a huge order!
Of course, at the same time, they will also send people to find out who the suppliers behind this group of pirates are. If they can get channels or technologies, it will be even better!
