Chapter 1313 The Transaction Between the Two Parties (Additional Updates for 800 Monthly Tickets)
"How about this, you provide the design, and if the research and development is successful and mass production is required, all the raw materials for the guns will be paid for by you. Under this premise, for every two guns manufactured by our Great Zhou gun factory, we will give you one."
Peter thought about it after hearing this.
[Da Zhou will provide the manpower and be responsible for R&D and production, and I will provide the design drawings and raw materials. You don't have to worry about anything else. We will split the guns produced in half, so it's not a loss.]
Apparently, Peter could accept this way of division. To him, the design drawing itself was just a matter of drawing a few strokes. He had no sense of loss at all. After rounding it off, the actual expense was only the raw materials.
But then Peter realized another problem...
"Wait a minute, Your Majesty, where are the bullets?"
He might not be very smart in other matters, but before coming here, he was a gun player. What's the use of a gun? You need bullets! At the same time, anyone with a little common sense should know that for a gun-carrying unit, the consumption of bullets is the biggest expense! At this moment, Peter looked over, and Zhou Xu smiled even more.
"I can provide five bullets for each gun, but if you want more bullets, you have to buy them from me. After all, gunpowder is still very valuable in this era."
“…”
Five bullets? What the hell! They won't even be enough for the soldiers to practice with!
Peter wanted to swear, but finally held back.
The main reason is that he can't win. Peter is essentially a fighter and doesn't have much ability in literary fighting. If he can win, he won't stand this humiliation! "Then Your Majesty, how can I buy these bullets?"
"You can use various resources to buy it, but there are too many types of resources. At the same time, I don't know what resources you have. You can make a list later to facilitate pricing."
Having said this, Zhou Xu paused.
"Of course, in addition to resources, we can also exchange population, or labor."
Peter frowned visibly when he heard this.
Although he had no political acumen, he knew that he made his fortune by deceiving the slaves, and that the slave owners were their biggest enemies.
Under this premise, if he suddenly turned into a slave owner who sold slaves, wouldn't that be destroying his own foundation?
At this moment, looking at Peter's expression, Zhou Xu knew what the other party was thinking.
Obviously, Peter is not that stupid.
But since he brought up this matter, he was obviously well prepared.
"Please rest assured, I don't want slaves, but labor. You can tell them that this is equivalent to immigration. They are just moving from the Smith Republic to our Great Zhou to live."
As he spoke, Zhou Xu smiled.
"I believe that compared to the Smith Republic, which is internally unstable, with party struggles and mutual discrimination, many people will be willing to come to our Great Zhou and become our citizens."
These words were somewhat hurtful, but after thinking about it for a while, Peter had to admit that the other party was right.
Peter hadn't made up his mind yet, but he decided to confirm the specific price first.
"How many bullets can one labor force exchange for?"
Zhou Xu raised a finger.
"One hundred bullets for a young man, but not for the elderly. As for children, it's not unacceptable, but the price has to be lowered. Ten bullets for a child."
"!!"
Peter's facial muscles twitched violently and he almost couldn't help but swear, but in the end he only dared to curse in his heart.
[Why the hell don't you go and grab it? ]
However, from Zhou Xu's perspective, Peter's expression management really needs to be improved.
Although he didn't say it directly, those words were basically written on his face.
"You can think about it from another perspective. The Russian Republican Party has a large population, but the resources you have are limited. Most of the country's resources are controlled by the Smith Party headed by Fisher. The daily life of the Russian Republican Party headed by you must be tight."
"If this problem cannot be resolved, the people below will inevitably become dissatisfied over time, and eventually damage your reputation."
"Under this premise, Your Excellency, sending people to our Great Zhou will not only reduce the pressure on your own resources, but also provide you with bullets. This is simply killing two birds with one stone."
“…”
Okay, Peter had to admit, he was a little convinced.
The biggest problem and advantage of their Rakshasa Republican Party is the same, that is, there are too many people, and the limited resources are gradually becoming unable to circulate, resulting in the fact that he, the leader of the party, does not live an affluent life.
If he could take advantage of this opportunity to exchange population for ammunition, it would be a win-win deal for him.
Just as Peter was thinking this, Zhou Xu spoke again...
"Oh, by the way, if you are willing to pay for this population in advance, I can give you five more bullets for each young adult, but not for the children."
The available young and middle-aged people can be sent to the territory of their Great Zhou now. Even if they are a little malnourished or have poor physical fitness, they can be transformed into labor force immediately. Children do not have this advantage, and their priority is not high. They are just a by-product.
I have to say, Peter was indeed moved.
The most important thing is that this move is not actually a loss for Peter.
Just like mentioned before, he now has too many people under his command and not enough resources. If he sends this part of the population out sooner, he can save resources sooner. Under this premise, each person can get five more bullets.
If you count them individually, five rounds are not a lot, but one hundred rounds is five hundred rounds, and one thousand rounds is five thousand rounds!
When the number of heads is added up, it becomes a very impressive number.
After such a rough calculation, Peter suddenly felt that if he didn't take advantage of this opportunity, he would be losing 100 million!
"Okay! I'll start the operation when I get back!"
This matter essentially still had the suspicion of selling slaves, so there was no way to assign it to any of my own departments. I had to do it myself to fool people.
"Then I wish us a pleasant cooperation."
Zhou Xu smiled and stretched out his hand to Peter.
When the two hands were clasped, looking at Zhou Xu in front of him, Peter suddenly felt himself become full of energy and vigor.
He felt that his time had finally come!
Look at it now, I can already chat and laugh with a big shot like Zhou Huang! After that, Peter did not hesitate to draw the remaining design drawings on the spot. After Zhou Xu confirmed and accepted them, he turned around and left with a smile on his face, which made Fisher, who was waiting outside, anxious.
[Peter, this bastard, smiled so brightly? What did they talk about? ]
With this thought in mind, Fisher glared at the other party and hurried into Zhou Xu's office. His first words were...
"Your Majesty, you must not believe the lies of that bastard Peter!"
“…”
