Chapter 195 Do you have so much money?

Si Tian didn't delay and called the hospital directly.

Weng Jin received the call and asked uncertainly, "Does he really have an X-ray machine?"

"Well, there is one, and some medical equipment. Do you need them here? If you do, we can buy them immediately." Si Tian briefly explained the situation.

"Do you have that much money?" Weng Jin was still a little worried. You know, the finances of the Governor's Office were not good enough before.

"You don't have to worry about these. Since I asked you, you don't have to worry about money matters."

"If I can buy them, of course I need them. There are also anti-inflammatory drugs, vaccines and the like. These are medicines that are in short supply in the hospital." Weng Jin listed what the hospital is currently lacking.

Si Tian wrote it all down. Peter had all these things and could buy them from him at once. "Okay, I'll contact you as soon as possible."

He had just hung up when the phone rang again. A strange foreign man was on the other end, speaking not very fluent Mandarin: "Excuse me, is this Mr. Si Tian?"

"It's me." Si Tian wasn't sure if he was a building materials merchant, so he went straight to the point without even opening his mouth.

"My name is Paul. I heard from Pete that you wanted to buy a batch of building materials. I wonder how much you want to buy?" Paul doesn't like to beat around the bush and waste time.

"I wonder how much steel bars and cement Mr. Paul has?" Si Tian wanted to see the stock he had first.

Paul mentally counted the items in his hands: "I have five tons of steel bars and seventy tons of cement. Can Mr. Si Tian eat them all?"

Si Tian calculated in his mind that the amount of steel bars for a small arsenal was still five tons short, but seventy tons of cement might just be enough to build a small arsenal.

It's still too little, but it's better than nothing. "If I buy them all, I wonder what price Mr. Paul would give me?"

Paul didn't expect the other party to be so straightforward. He originally thought that he wouldn't ask for much, but now he was clearing out his inventory directly.

He calculated in his mind: "I usually charge between eighty and one hundred and twenty silver dollars per ton of steel bars. Since you are so straightforward, we will take the lowest price of eighty silver dollars per ton."

"As for the price of cement, it's usually four to six silver dollars a ton. I can also calculate it based on the lowest price of four silver dollars. What do you think of this price?"

Si Tian calculated in his mind: "No problem, I wonder when Mr. Paul can be delivered to Beiyang City."

"I can arrange for the ship to deliver the goods immediately. It will arrive in Beiyang City in three days. You can then pick it up at the dock and pay the full payment." Paul didn't expect him to be so straightforward.

"Okay, then we'll meet at the dock in three days." Si Tian ended the call and called Pete again to buy the medicines and medical equipment he had.

Pete was so happy that he decided to bring his family to Beiyang in person, one to debug the X-ray machine, and the other to take his family on a trip.

Si Tian contacted foreign businessmen he had known before and purchased another batch of steel bars and cement from their channels, which should be enough to build a medium-sized arsenal.

As for large-scale arsenals, we can only build them slowly.

Miao Jiu also had the word spread that he was recruiting workers who would sign death contracts, regardless of gender.

Juanjuan looked at the busy family members and wrinkled her nose: "Grandma, Dad and the others have been very busy lately!"

"Yes, they have a lot of things to do recently. The farmland outside the city will start to be cultivated in a few days. Do you want to go and take a look?"

Old Madam Si looked at the two children with a smile.

"Go." Juanjuan was the first to raise his hands to express his wish.

"Girl, you'll go anywhere as long as you can go out and have fun." Si Ning smiled and shook her head.

"It's good to go out and play!" Juanjuan said with a smile.

"Madam, eldest aunt, Madam Qian and Madam Zhang are here with their grandchildren." The housekeeper came in and announced.

"Why are they here together?" Old Madam Si looked at Si Ning with confusion.

"Mom will know once she sees it." Si Ning probably guessed something.

"Go and invite them in!" Madam Si ordered the housekeeper.

After a while, several children followed their elders in. After greeting Madam Si and Si Ning, they went to play with Juanjuan and the others.

"Juanjuan, why didn't you tell us that your family had something good?" Qian Xuexue looked at her depressedly.

Juanjuan looked confused: "Sister Xuexue, there are no good things in Juanjuan's house!"

"It's milk tea." Qian Xueming explained.

Juanjuan turned to look at Si Jinchen: "Brother, is milk tea a good thing?"

Si Jinchen shook his head: "It's just a drink, it shouldn't be considered a good thing!"

Zhang Haoxuan felt even more depressed as he looked at the two clueless people. "You don't know, the milk tea stand in front of your Rouge Button is almost packed right now."

"We haven't heard from Aunt Wu either!" Si Jinchen hasn't really paid attention to the milk tea stall business recently.

"Now everyone in our school is talking about your milk tea. Anyone who hasn't tried it would be embarrassed to say anything." Zhang Haoyu looked at the two of them and didn't know what to say.

"That's right, and many people line up to buy it every day. If you go too late, it will be sold out." Qian Xuexue has only eaten it once.

Later on, it became very difficult to buy it again. If you went early, there would be people who went earlier than you, and there would even be people queuing up specifically to help buy milk tea.

The milk tea that originally cost one silver dollar may not even be available even if it costs two silver dollars.

Juanjuan looked at the depressed faces of the brothers and sisters and said: "Juanjuan can treat you to milk tea!"

As she said that, she ran to the kitchen to find Aunt Wu: "Aunt Wu, do you have milk tea?"

Mother Wu would leave some at home every day, and sometimes when someone in the family was craving for it, they could have a bowl of it.

"Yes, I'll get some and bring it to you right away." She smiled and went to get bowls to scoop milk tea for the children.

The children were even more depressed when they saw that they could drink milk tea as much as they wanted at Si's house even though they had to queue up.

"Achen, if there are good things like this in the future, can you notify us first?" Qian Xueming said while drinking the milk tea in the bowl.

Si Jinchen actually didn't expect that milk tea would become a good thing in their eyes: "I didn't know you liked it!"

Well, his words left the other children speechless.

It is true that what they consider to be good things may just be ordinary items in their eyes.

"Next time if you have any strange food or fun things, can you tell me?" Qian Xuexue thought of an excuse.

"That's fine, but I don't know if you will like it." Si Jinchen didn't know what was so strange in their eyes.

Mainly in his eyes, these are all very normal things.

He just said this in his heart. If he said it out loud, his friend would probably be even more depressed.
