Quiroga is a Chinese doing business in the Philippines. He holds a dinner at his house, and all the important people arrive - merchants and other businessmen, soldiers, and even those holding positions in the government. Simoun is there, too. He approaches Quiroga and asks the him if Simoun could use the Chinaman's warehouse momentarily to store several rifles, guns and other weapons.  Simoun offers to take out a portion of Quiroga's debt to the jeweler in exchange for this favor.
