Chapter 447: 446. Barter (Monthly Pass 143+)

There are two knives, one long and one short. The workmanship is very delicate, which is different from other hunting knives.

Most other knives use copper as the scabbard and a large area of ​​metal decoration. It looks beautiful, but it is actually heavy in the hand and not practical enough.

This mother-in-law knife is made of century-old birch wood and decorated with a small amount of animal bone horns. It is equally beautiful and more practical, and its value is obviously greater.

Hans pulled him aside and said, "Do you like these two knives?"

Li Du nodded and said, "Yes."

Hans said: "The hunting knives of the Hopi tribe are very famous and popular. They are regarded as works of art. We should not only buy two, but even twenty of them. We will definitely make a fortune."

Li Du spread his hands and said, "Okay, buy twenty, tell me what to buy? With money? Barter, brother!"

He couldn't figure it out. The Hopi people had a lot of contact with the society, so why didn't they accept US dollars? It can be seen that every household has modern furniture and electrical appliances, isn't it all bartering?

Hans said: "Obviously, there is something wrong with the goods we brought, but we have encountered a golden opportunity, we cannot miss it."

He thought about it for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "Let's take it all, it's not far from the Navajo's gathering place, and the Navajo's gathering place is very modern, I'll go shopping, you wait .”

Li Du whispered: "Xue Te, are you crazy? Going to buy things from the Navajos? They recognized you and knew that you participated in the conflict between us and the people on the other side of the canyon. You are dead!"

Hans spread his hands like he did before: "What can I do? It's not easy to come here, this feather is not left to us forever, it will be taken back when we leave!"

Oli and others heard what they said, and they also came together and said: "Yes, this is a good opportunity. Let's ask them what they lack, buy it and make a transaction."

Li Du went to the big man with the mother-child knife and asked, "If you want to change your knife, what is more suitable?"

The big man didn't answer but instead asked, "What do you have?"

Li Du said: "We have a lot of things, but we are not sure whether you need them, so I have to listen to your opinions."

The big man smacked his lips and said: "We need a lot of things, generators, diesel, gasoline, refrigerators, electrical appliances, but the best is a gun, a shotgun."

Hearing this, Li Du was overjoyed. He immediately looked at their truck, which contained ten Raymond 700 shotguns!

In the distance, Hans saw the trick from his expression, and when he came back, he couldn't suppress his joy and asked, "Is there a turning point?"

Li Du said: "Yes, there is a turning point. They need shotguns. Don't we have ten Raymond 700s? Can these guns be traded?"

Hans nodded and said, "Yes, no problem at all, they are shotguns, and we have completed the registration, I even registered them at the police station in the town!"

This made other people envious, and Frass said: "Oh, man, you are so lucky to pick up a gun, and the gun can be exchanged for a knife. This is really a good deal."

Li Du said: "They still need diesel and gasoline. Our fuel tanks are full, aren't we? So, leave enough fuel for the return journey, and pump out the rest for them!"

Dickens said excitedly: "Really? They need diesel?"

"right."

The bearded Carl stroked his beard and said, "We don't need to leave oil for the return journey, as long as we can get to the first gas station, there are gas stations in the Navajo camp!"

In this way, they got busy, and the other treasure hunters drove away from the iron shop to find an open space, and started pumping oil with oil drums.

Li Du and Hans called the big man out and said, "You can be the master? If it involves a large transaction, can you be the master?"

The big man said proudly: "I am the security officer in the platform, and I am under the jurisdiction of the Chief of Public Security. Of course I can call the shots."

Hans asked, "Very well, so do you know the Remington 700DBL?"

The big man immediately said: "I know, this is a very safe shotgun. Our tribe has some, and it is the best for hunting reindeer."

The safety performance of the Remington 700 shotgun is excellent, and its bolt action is particularly well designed. As long as the bullet is loaded, the bottom of the bullet will be caught by the bottom socket of the bolt action to ensure safety.

When the bullet is back in place, the bolt is wrapped by the chamber at the end of the barrel, and the outermost layer is the casing. This layer of wrapping improves its safety again.

Hans took out one, handed it to the big man and said, "Look, we just got a new gun, how many knives do you think it can exchange for?"

The big man's eyes lit up when he saw the shotgun. He almost snatched it in his hand. Then he loaded the gun with a click, checked the gun in every way, nodded and said: "Good gun! No problem!"

"How many knives can I change?"

The big man said: "For the mother-in-law knives you needed just now, you can exchange for four, and for ordinary hunting knives, you can exchange for ten."

Li Du asked Hans in a low voice: "Is this business profitable?"

Hans nodded vigorously: "You can make money, and you can make money. Hopi hunting knives are very popular in big cities. An ordinary knife costs at least two hundred yuan. If we change ten of them, we can let the guns out." Double the value!"

After he brought the big guy into the carriage, Godzilla and Ou lifted the wooden box down, and after opening it, nine brand new shotguns appeared in front of them.

Seeing these guns, the big man was taken aback: "My god, you have so many guns?"

Hans laughed and said, "As long as you need it, we can get more!"

The big man rubbed his hands and said, "Wait a minute, I have to call the chief, I can't make the decision."

Hans said depressedly: "Didn't you just say that you can call the shots?"

The big man smiled awkwardly: "I thought, I thought you only had one or two guns."

He left in a hurry, and when he came back, he signaled them to wait a while, saying that the chief of public security would be here soon.

Seeing that the Indians attached so much importance to this deal, Li Du hesitated a little, and asked, "Boss Fu, are you sure we can make a deal like this? Do ten shotguns count as an arms deal?"

Hans patted him on the shoulder and said: "Don't worry, the nature of our industry can guarantee our safety, absolutely no problem, these guns have been registered, and they will be registered after trading with the Hopi, as long as these guns are not It’s okay to lose it!”

Li Du was not clear about many laws in the United States. Since Hans said there was no problem, he thought it was all right.

Soon, an old Indian with a big face appeared. He rode a motorcycle and was dressed just like the Indians in Flagstaff City. It was obvious that the Hopi tribe was not as closed as the legend said.

In this way, Li Du couldn't understand why they didn't accept currency transactions.

The big man at the iron shop introduced them: "This is our chief of public security, Pilsteva. These two are our friends. They have brought ten shotguns."

The old man smiled and said, "I heard from Martha that friends from the tribe have come, and you are welcome!"
