Chapter 0392: Buying and Selling
Although Renard hates conspiracy, he does not mind using conspiracy against his enemies: "If you strike first, then suffer, they are unkind, so don't blame me for being unjust." ”
Regana stared at his fierce eyes, and shuddered in her heart for no reason: "What are you going to do?"
Lei Ye took the wine glass in her hand and drank it all, and then chuckled: "Naturally, it's face-to-face hard steel." ”
Regana nodded as if she didn't understand, and said, "I will hurry up to collect information, and I will report to you at any time if there is an emergency, so I won't bother you to come all the way here." ”
Renard blinked when he heard this, showing a smile that seemed to be not a smile: "Are you afraid that I will be tired?"
Regana tugged at the corners of her mouth, pretending to be disgusted and said, "Don't be a nymphomaniac, I'm just afraid that you will be discovered and our intelligence system will be exposed." ”
Lei Ye looked embarrassed: "Okay, then I'll try to come as little as possible in the future." ”
Hearing this, Regana suddenly regretted a little, and she used her anger to hide this unexplained loss: "Whatever you want." ”
Renard looked at her puffed up appearance, and couldn't help but be a little funny, and her pink cheeks made people want to bite twice.
He suppressed the impulse in his heart, got up and said, "You have arranged for me to visit this Earl of Shelley in person." ”
Regana was taken aback by his decision: "Now that Earl Shelley and Earl Ian have made it clear that they want to unite against us, you are not afraid that he will be unfavorable to you when you go to visit?"
Lei Ye turned his head to look at the beautiful woman with a worried face, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, he doesn't dare, and he doesn't have that ability." ”
The nobility has the rules of the nobility, and if the other party really kills when Renard visits, the reputation of the Earl of Shelley and even the reputation of their entire family will be notorious.
No one wants to be in the company of a murderer, and all he can get in the end is the isolation and rejection of all the nobles, and the hatred of the formidable rival of the county of Meredith.
After making a decision, Renard and Arka returned to their original ways and went to visit Earl Shelley with great fanfare.
When the Earl of Shelley heard that he had come to visit, his expression was a little surprised, and he was also a little weak: "Long time no see, Sir Renard." ”
Renard bowed slightly, "yes! long time no see!"
The Earl of Shelley invited him into the castle, and the two of them talked nonsense for a long time, and finally they got to the point: "I don't know what Sir Renard came to me for." ”
Naturally, Renard would not tell him the truth, and said nonsense: "Your Excellency said a while ago that you would buy some firearms from me, I don't know if you still have this idea. ”
"Oh?" Earl Shelley's eyes suddenly lit up, and his cunning look was fleeting: "Do you have any extra firearms to sell?"
Renard showed an undeniable expression: "Recently, the territory has been short of funds. ”
Is the county of Meredith strapped for money? Of course not!
Now the weapons and equipment in the territory are completely supported by the system mall, and without this maximum expense, the funds are not only not tight, but there is even a lot of surplus every month.
Then why did Lei Ye say that the funds were tight? Naturally, he wanted to paralyze the old guy in front of him!
The Earl of Shelley did not doubt his words, and the crazy expansion of the Earldom of Meredith was seen by everyone, and it would be hellish if there were no economic problems with an army of tens of thousands of people.
After a pause, he asked, "How many firearms are you selling, new or old?"
When Renard heard this, the corners of his mouth rose, and his face showed a proud expression: "It depends on how much you want to buy, all of them are eighty percent new muskets and artillery." ”
The corners of Earl Shelley's mouth also turned up: "You can come up with a price first." ”
Dare to let Lei Ye bid, I think you have too much spare money: "Eight gold coins per musket, four hundred gold coins per artillery." ”
Although the price offered by Renard is very high, it is still about 20% lower than the current market price, and it is okay to get 80% new, he continued: "In addition, ammunition is included. ”
This sentence completely moved Earl Shelley, and he couldn't wait to ask: "If you buy more, is there a discount?"
Lei Ye sneered: "This price is already my bottom line." ”
Even if you want to lure the fish to bite the hook, you can't be too generous, as the so-called too much, if he really gives a huge concession, the other party should wonder if there is a trap in it.
Earl Shelley nodded with an embarrassed expression: "Okay then, I want five hundred muskets and twenty cannons." ”
After saying that, he looked at Renard and showed a kind smile: "I don't know how much ammunition you can send?"
Reynard thought for a moment and replied, "Each musket comes with two boxes of ammunition, and each cannon comes with two shells, and you will have a discount for you to buy ammunition from me later." ”
The Earl of Shelley was frantically calculating in his mind, he held the administrative power of the territory, and he was already good at calculations, and in a moment he came to the conclusion - it was a good deal.
If nothing else, you don't have to sell it to others to make a profit.
However, as soon as his thoughts arose, they were quickly shattered, and Renard got up and said, "Since the business has been negotiated, then I will not disturb your rest, and I will rush to the other lords to discuss business." ”
Needless to say, Earl Shelley's mind changed sharply, and he said secretly: Could it be that this Earldom of Meredith has fallen into an economic crisis? Otherwise, why sell firearms at this critical juncture?
Thinking like this in his heart, he still had a gentle smile on his face: "I'll send you." ”
As he spoke, he had already made up his mind that he would send someone to investigate the county of Meredith later, and if it was really as he thought, then now was a good opportunity to destroy the other party.
It is difficult to draw the skin and bones of a tiger, and it is difficult to know the face but not the heart, and it is generally a person like him.
Does the county of Meredith have a grudge against him?
However, the rapid development of the Earldom of Meredith made Earl Shelley feel an unprecedented crisis, and he would not have cared about it before, but now that he has enjoyed the taste of power, he naturally does not want to give up easily.
Hammer City needs to develop, to the east is the territory of Earl Ian, and the backers behind the other party are the Cronin family, so he can only develop to the west, and the biggest obstacle to face is the county of Meredith.
This is also the main reason why his wife was slightly instigated, and he joined the camp of the Creighton family.
The two came to the outside of the castle to shake hands and part, but their inner thoughts were different, but they were somewhat the same.
Renard: Old fellow, give you the firearm first, and then you will spit it out with interest.
Earl Shelley: Little thing, I'll give you the money first, and when the county of Meredith is destroyed, you'll have to pay it back.
The two smiled at each other and said in unison: "Take care." ”
Renard turned over on his horse, and when he turned to say goodbye, he happened to see the countess coming back from outside, he looked deeply at the half-old, and then at Earl Shelley, and only thought that the old fellow had a green head.
