N-M Chapter 74: The Battle Between Two Villages - Deal!
Chapter 74: The Battle Between Two Villages - Deal!
There's a common argument online that a complete ban on guns is wrong.
If gun rights were as free as in the United States, there wouldn't be so many injustices.
Those who put forward this argument ignore the fact that they themselves are cowards who wouldn't have the courage to perish together with others even if given an atomic bomb.
If someone really has a temper, they can kill someone even with their bare hands!
Moreover, these people are unaware that before the 90s, my country did not prohibit the use of firearms.
How rampant were guns in the area back then?
The two villages were at odds and had been embroiled in constant conflict.
Later, a trivial matter led to an escalation of the conflict, which resulted in a large-scale fight.
The villagers were trained and all knew how to use guns; they even brought out cannons!
Not only was a command post established, but a battle plan was also formulated!
Both sides adopted various professional tactics, established assault teams, and even set up field hospitals and logistics canteens.
事后统计一共出动5000余人，动用4部炮车、95门土炮、57支土枪、233公斤的炸药、2600多发雷管、255枚土製手雷、以及无数大刀长矛。
This case also accelerated the enactment of gun control laws, resulting in the seizure of more than 120 million firearms.
So compared to the gun ownership in the US today, it's like a little kid compared to the gun control we had before!
It is precisely because we know what it was like when guns were not banned that we understand the importance of prohibition even more.
When Li Hao heard that they needed to buy a thousand bulletproof vests, he subconsciously wondered if another large-scale armed conflict was about to break out in a village.
Otherwise, in a shooting game, buying equipment is just for show, and the experience is much more immersive.
It wasn't actually designed to defend against bullets.
The club's purchase of 100 items is barely acceptable.
However, purchasing a thousand pieces requires careful consideration.
If it really is a fight between two villages, and the investigation eventually traces the bulletproof vests back to where they came from.
Even if you pay a hefty fine and use your connections to smooth things over, you probably won't be able to keep the shop open.
Moreover, shipping a thousand pieces at a time is too conspicuous.
It would be difficult to avoid attracting the attention of relevant regulatory authorities.
Doing it secretly is one thing, but doing it on such a large scale is very likely to cause trouble!
Chen Huai'an was stunned for a moment, then a helpless bitter smile appeared on his face.
This guy really knows how to make connections.
He shook his head with a smile: "Brother Li, you're overthinking it. It's 2025, what kind of armed conflict would there be? And these bulletproof vests wouldn't be found in places where it's illegal, you can rest assured about that."
After being purchased, they were all sent to 38, and they certainly wouldn't have appeared in this world anymore.
Even if you want to look for it then, there won't be anywhere to look for it.
Unless you travel through time and space to a parallel world in 1949 to find it.
Chen Huai'an had a lingering question in his mind.
Will the aid given to the world in 38 have a chain reaction that could affect the current situation?
So when he informed Lin Wanhui of her sacrifice, he immediately looked up relevant information after she returned.
As before, the result has not changed.
However, considering that Lin Wan may have ultimately chosen to stay behind for the sake of her faith, it is not impossible.
They gave them penicillin, but that only reduced casualties; it might not even make it into history books.
After careful consideration, it was decided to provide drones, a powerful weapon capable of turning the tide of battle.
If the forward command of the Yangtze River Crossing Campaign obtains drones, there will inevitably be subtle differences in tactical deployment.
However, although the drone was delivered, after careful comparison, history remained unchanged.
Chen Huai'an was now completely certain that the other side was a parallel world.
No matter what he does, he will not change the course of history.
Since it won't affect the world, there's even less to be afraid of.
Once the bulletproof vest is sent there, no one can trace it!
There's no need to worry about it falling into the hands of bad guys and attracting Uncle Hat's investigation.
"Brother Li, you can rest assured that as long as your accounts are balanced, I will definitely not cause you any trouble!"
And this is only the first batch; more orders are expected to follow!
Chen Huai'an's voice wasn't loud, but it carried the allure of profit.
The implication is that this is not a one-off deal; there will be more orders to come!
Li Hao frowned, a conflicted look on his face.
A thousand bulletproof vests—that's a huge order.
Even if the profit margin for domestically produced bulletproof vests is low, the sheer volume of production makes up for it.
As long as the volume is large enough, you can still make a lot of money!
Although there are risks, simply balancing the accounts is a very easy thing to do.
However, this matter still carries risks and is not easy to handle.
He mumbled, "Keeping accounts is easy, but a thousand items is too conspicuous..."
The voice wasn't loud, and there was no refusal, but instead, a provocative question was raised.
It was obvious that Li Hao was also tempted, but he felt that shipping such a large quantity at once would attract too much attention.
Who wouldn't want to make money as long as they don't attract attention?
Moreover, the other party claimed that there would be more orders in the future, which made it impossible for him not to be tempted.
After all, China is not like other countries; there is nowhere that can absorb so many bulletproof vests.
Moreover, given the security situation in China, there's really no need to worry about it being used for illegal activities.
Buying a thousand items might cause trouble, but buying ten thousand items could mean smuggling them into third-world countries to make money.
Given the existing examples of selling gas cylinders and steel pipes to the Middle East, reselling is not impossible.
It's very likely that this young man has connections in the Middle East, which is why he's come back to find cheap equipment to resell.
If that's the case, then cooperation is possible.
No wonder their refusal seemed hesitant; they only mentioned the glaringly obvious words, without uttering a single "no."
"There's hope!"
Chen Huai'an raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "There's no need to deliver all at once. Delivery within a month is fine. I can place subsequent orders and deliver them in batches."
The Crossing the Yangtze River Campaign was scheduled for April 20th, giving us a month to prepare.
"Deliver within a month?" Li Hao narrowed his eyes, quickly weighing the options in his mind.
If it's done in batches over a month, it won't be so conspicuous.
If you need to make further purchases, you can ask a friend's store to help with the payment and share the cost.
At most, they'll give a small handling fee.
There's always a way to overcome difficulties, and if you want to make money, you can always find a way to circumvent them.
After a moment's hesitation, he gritted his teeth and said, "Deal!"
After making the decision, Li Hao felt relieved.
He smiled and said, "Then let's set the price at 5200 yuan per item. We can offer further discounts for larger orders later. What do you think, Brother Chen?"
"Okay!" Chen Huai'an nodded in agreement without hesitation.
Don't be fooled by his position as the client; finding a willing service provider isn't easy either.
Everything is difficult at the beginning, but once you get started, things become much easier.
So even though there was still room to negotiate the price, he readily agreed.
With the foundation laid by the first collaboration, we can discuss the price gradually for the next one!
Chen Huai'an shook hands, glanced around, and his eyes lit up.
"I want that one too!"
