Reborn as the spoiled male wife of the mortal enemy

Chapter 349 Prepare for a rainy day

On this day, Sheng Yu'an returned to Yangcheng.

His friend needed gauze and weapons.

"The gauze is easy to get. I can go find Daniel. The management of foreign merchants is not that strict. I should be able to get the gauze. But it will be difficult to get weapons in a short time. I heard that the authorities raided the dock a few days ago, seized a lot of weapons, and arrested a lot of people. Now the whole foreign city is in a panic." Nanchun was in a dilemma.

Sheng Yu'an said, "Well, I came here this time to contact my friends on the black market and plan to buy some from there first."

"Black market? The price will definitely be more than double, and the quality cannot be guaranteed." Nan Chun said.

"The inspections are very strict everywhere, and they need it urgently. Let's get through this first!" Sheng Yu'an sighed.

Nan Chun thought for a moment and said, "Oh right, Master Sheng must have some connections, right? His people are carrying German equipment, and those things are hard to come by these days."

"He has channels. After he came back from the West, he has always been in contact with arms dealers there. But weapons are different from other things. Going to him to buy weapons is equivalent to exposing our identities. We can't take this risk." Sheng Yu'an said.

Nanchun thought about it and agreed. The Fourth Master's relationship with Young Master Sheng was already quite delicate. Suddenly going to him to buy weapons would definitely arouse his suspicion.

In the afternoon, Nanchun went to Daniel's trading company.

"Mr. Nan, my friend! Long time no see!" Daniel was very surprised to see Nan Chun. "I asked Mr. Bai where you were, and he said you were in your hometown."

"Yes, the business in my hometown has just opened, and it's a busy time now." Nanchun said with a smile.

"Do you need any goods?" Daniel asked.

Nanchun pulled Daniel aside and said in a low voice, "Do you have any gauze here?"

"Gauze? That's a controlled item." Daniel looked at him in surprise.

"That's why we can sell it for a good price now!" said Nanchun.

"But..." Daniel was a little embarrassed.

"Don't you trust me? You and I just want to make more money. Besides, I will never betray you." Nan Chun said.

Daniel thought for a moment and said, "I can only give you part of it. You know what? I've been targeted by those people. They say they're purchasing from higher-ups and are trying to lower my prices. But in reality, they're just selling them on the black market for a high price. I can't do anything about it!"

Nanchun understood that those people said it was a regulation, but in fact they were just trying to make money for themselves.

"Okay, I won't lower your price. It's whatever it is." Nanchun said.

"Mr. Nan is still straightforward!" Daniel said with a smile.

Nanchun thought for a moment and said, "There's another way to get rich. Are you interested?"

Daniel said, "Medicines and weapons?"

Nan Chun nodded. "The prices of medicines and weapons on the market have more than doubled. If you have a channel, get them here and I'll be in charge of the sales."

Daniel did have channels, but he didn't dare to start because he didn't have anyone he could trust before.

"I understand. I have some medicines here that I can give to you, but the weapons will still have to wait. The inspection is very strict now, so you need to stay out of the spotlight before taking any action!" said Daniel.

"Okay, I'll take as many as you have!" Nanchun said in surprise.

After returning from Daniel, Nanchun told Sheng Yu'an what Daniel had said.

"Great! What a pleasant surprise! We need medicine too!"

"Daniel has also been targeted by those people above. He can only give us this much gauze now." Nan Chun looked worried.

"It's okay, I'll think of another way." Sheng Yu'an said.

"What do you want to do?" Bai Xun suddenly pushed the door open.

Chun Xiao spread her hands helplessly. "I said the Fourth Master was discussing something important with Nanchun. When Master Bai heard that, he ran even faster, as if he was afraid we'd drag Nanchun into the fire pit."

"Fourth Master, I told you that you can come to me if you need anything." Bai Xun said dissatisfiedly.

Nanchun hurriedly stood up, grabbed his arm, and tried to pull him away: "Bai Xun, what does this have to do with you? Don't make things worse!"

Although this road leads to hope, it is full of difficulties and dangers, and you will die if you are not careful.

Nanchun doesn't want Baixun to be involved.

"I can produce the gauze myself, so I don't need to ask anyone for help." Bai Xun said.

"Do you produce it yourself? Does the Bai family have a textile factory?" Sheng Yu'an asked.

"It's a secret, so naturally no one knows. So, it's safer to get gauze from me." Bai Xun grabbed Nanchun's hand and patted it soothingly. "A year ago, I bought some of the equipment and space from the Sun family textile factory, and later purchased some textile equipment piecemeal. If there's a need, we can produce gauze at any time."

"Sun's Textile Factory? Sun Changfu from Fuyuanji?" Sheng Yu'an was a little surprised.

"That's right. I now have shares in Fuyuanji, but it is still said to the outside world that it is solely owned by the Sun family. Sun Changfu's life and property are now in my hands. As long as I pay him dividends regularly, he won't say anything nonsense." Bai Xun said.

Producing it secretly by yourself is definitely the best option.

But Sheng Yu'an was a little hesitant. Nanchun obviously didn't want Bai Xun to be involved, and he also didn't want Nanchun and the people around him to be too deeply involved.

If you get involved too deeply, you might not be able to get away with it unscathed.

Seeing Sheng Yu'an hesitate, Bai Xun continued, "I can also get weapons from Sheng Zexi."

Sheng Yu'an said in surprise: "Are you that close to Zexi?"

"That's not right. You two are like water and fire that are incompatible with each other." Chun Xiao was very surprised.

"In such a difficult period, why can Sheng Zexi still maintain his channels for purchasing weapons? Now even if you take out a lot of gold bars, you may not be able to buy such good things. But he never lacks good things. Isn't this strange?" Bai Xun said.

"It's indeed strange, so I guess he might be using something better than gold bars to trade with those people." Sheng Yu'an said with a frown.

"That's right, Sheng Zexi has been secretly purchasing tung oil and pig bristles in Sichuan City." Bai Xun said.

Sheng Yu'an suddenly realized: "He used tung oil and pig bristles to trade for weapons with those people. No wonder... those people would sell to him first. Tung oil and pig bristles are also precious things nowadays."

"I have now grasped the source and transportation routes of his tung oil and pig bristles. He has a batch of tung oil and pig bristles that are being secretly transported to Yangcheng. The situation in Yangcheng has been very tense recently. As far as I know, he has a batch of weapons that have not been shipped out yet. It will not be a problem to threaten him with tung oil and pig bristles and get the batch of goods from him." Bai Xun said.

Chun Xiao exclaimed in admiration, "Master Bai really is...preparing for a rainy day...thinking ahead of everything and making use of everyone!"
