Double-Cut During the War of Resistance: My Wife Came from 1937

Ma Hongwei immediately began contacting manufacturers.

They had exchanged WeChat contacts when they signed the contract.

[Ma Hongwei: "Hello, how many GA6 grade boron carbide + PE bulletproof plates does your factory still have?"]

[Manufacturer's Sales Manager: "Hello Mr. Ma, this material is quite expensive, and we have a limited production capacity each year. After your last purchase, we only have 16000 left!"]

[Manufacturer's Sales Manager: "For GA6-grade bulletproof plates, in addition to boron carbide, we also have silicon carbide and aluminum oxide, and in larger quantities, with over 40000 pieces of each."]

Ma Hongwei thought to himself, "GA6 grade silicon carbide weighs 2.4 kilograms, which is 200 grams heavier than boron carbide's 2.2 kilograms. The difference isn't that big, so it's an option."

With that in mind, he immediately replied to the manufacturer.

[Ma Hongwei: "In that case, I'll take all the GA6 grade boron carbide + PE bulletproof plates, that's 16000 yuan, right?"]

[Ma Hongwei: "Also, give me another 40000 of GA6 grade silicon carbide + PE bulletproof plates."]

[Ma Hongwei: "Oh right, and tactical vests too, give me 18000."]

16000 boron carbide plates plus 40000 silicon carbide plates make up 56000 bulletproof inserts.

Each tactical vest is equipped with two pieces, enough to arm 28000 soldiers.

There were both front and rear lines during the charge, which was enough for the time being.

The reason only 18000 tactical vests were needed is because 10000 vests were left over from the last shipment and were left in a warehouse in the suburbs.

This is not as eye-catching as a gun, and there's no fear of it being discovered.

Moreover, the price isn't expensive, so even if someone steals it, it's not a big deal, and you won't feel bad about it.

[Manufacturer's Sales Manager: "Are you really going to still want 40000 GA6-level bulletproof inserts made of silicon carbide and PE material?"]

This is no small order for them.

[Ma Hongwei: "Of course it's true, why would I need to say it?"]

[Manufacturer's Sales Manager: "I'm just a little too excited."]

[Manufacturer's Sales Manager: "Boss Ma is so considerate of our factory, I'm willing to reduce the price of each power strip by another 5 yuan on top of the original price."]

[Manufacturer's Sales Manager: "Based on the current price, each boron carbide piece costs 275 yuan, so 16000 pieces would cost 4400000 yuan."]

[Manufacturer's Sales Manager: "Silicon carbide costs 220 yuan per piece, so 40000 pieces would cost 8800000 yuan."]

[Manufacturer's Sales Manager: "The price of the tactical vests has already been reduced to the lowest possible level, so we can't lower the price any further. It's 65 yuan per vest, so 18000 vests would cost 1170000 yuan."]

[Manufacturer's Sales Manager: "The total price of these three items is 1437 million yuan."]

After a pause, the manufacturer's sales manager asked another question.

[Manufacturer's Sales Manager: "Mr. Ma, you asked for a bulletproof helmet last time, right? Do you need it again this time?"]

Ma Hongwei thought about it and decided that they should have some, as long as they could protect against stray bullets.

[Ma Hongwei: "Just like last time, 2000 GA5-level bulletproof helmets and GA2-level helmets... How many can you provide?"]

[Manufacturer's Sales Manager: "We can provide 2000 GA5 units, but only 12000 more GA2 units."]

[Ma Hongwei: "Then let's take these. Can you make the price a little cheaper?"]

[Manufacturer's Sales Manager: "Okay, Mr. Ma, I'll price the GA5 bulletproof helmet at 2350 yuan each."]

[Manufacturer's Sales Manager: "As for the GA2 grade, at 380 yuan each, this is already the lowest price."]

Ma Hongwei: "OK, let's go with this price!"

【厂商销售经理：「GA5级防弹头盔，单价2350元，2000个就是470万；GA2级头盔单价380元，12000个就是456万元，总价是2363万元！」】

[Manufacturer's Sales Manager: "If Mr. Ma doesn't need anything else, let's sign the contract online!"]

Ma Hongwei was about to sign the contract with the other party online when he suddenly remembered something.

[Ma Hongwei: "Oh right, I also need a batch of GA6-grade handheld bulletproof shields made of PE composite material, the ones with observation windows. How many can you provide?"]

He didn't know how good the handheld bulletproof shield was before, so he only bought 2000 of them.

But Xia Weiwei said that the leaders had a very high opinion of the handheld bulletproof shields and even asked him to make more.

Of the 2000 bulletproof shields Xia Weiwei brought, only a little over 100 were distributed to each regiment, and they were all destroyed after a few battles.

So we need to make more this time.

[Manufacturer's Sales Manager: "We currently have 25000 units in stock. How many does the boss want?"]

[Ma Hongwei: "If I take them all, how much cheaper can I get?"]

[Manufacturer's Sales Manager: "The wholesale price we gave to Boss Ma before was 1150 yuan per piece, but since he wants such a large quantity now, let's calculate it at 950 yuan per piece!"]

Ma Hongwei: "Okay, let's go with this price!"

[Manufacturer's Sales Manager: "GA6 level handheld bulletproof shield, unit price 950 yuan, 25000 units, totaling 2375 million yuan!"]

[Manufacturer's Sales Manager: "The total price of all items is 4738 million yuan!"]

"Wow! That's almost half a small goal!"

Ma Hongwei originally felt that he still had enough money for a small goal, so he wasn't in a hurry to make more money.

But he never expected that when the money needed to be spent, it would be spent like water.

After completing this transaction, he only had half the money left in his account.

"Looks like I need to sell these antiques quickly!"

Ma Hongwei shook his head. What was originally close to two small goals was now only half left.

[Ma Hongwei: "The price is no problem. Look how much I've bought from you, the shipping cost..."]

[Manufacturer's Sales Manager: "Sure, we'll find the truck and cover the shipping costs!"]

After agreeing on these terms, both parties began signing the contract online.

The deposit remains at 30%, which is 1421.4 million yuan.

"call!"

Ma Hongwei put his phone on the coffee table and let out a long sigh.

Xia Weiwei, who was looking at her phone nearby, glanced at the other person and asked, "Have you bought everything?"

"Um!"

Ma Hongwei stretched and said, "I ordered 56000 bulletproof plates, 18000 tactical vests (we still have 10000 in the warehouse), 14000 helmets (two types combined), and 25000 handheld bulletproof shields. The whole set comes to about 5000 million!"

"Commander Liu and Commander Nie will be very happy to know that we have so many bulletproof items."

Xia Weiwei chuckled softly, then suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, Hongwei, you just said you wanted to buy a gas mask, did you buy it yet?"

"Oh dear, I forgot when I got busy."

Ma Hongwei shook his head and quickly sat up straight, saying, "This matter cannot be delayed. The Japanese are not human; they might use poison gas at any time. We must prepare in advance."

He picked up his phone and started searching online for domestic manufacturers of occupational safety equipment.

There are many gas masks sold online, some costing as little as 30 or 50 yuan. But while those are fine for dealing with dust and paint from ordinary renovations, they're not very effective on the battlefield.

In the end, Ma Hongwei found a legitimate factory that supplied chemical companies.

The call connected, and a middle-aged man in his forties with a deep voice answered, "Hello, this is Jia'an Protection. How can I help you?"

Ma Hongwei stated directly, "I need to purchase a large batch of gas masks, at least 60000."
