Chapter Seventy-One: Something Else
At the beginning, he was the mercenary and unprincipled nature of the businessman, and Ralph naturally didn't really get angry with him, and he was also the usual preemptive preemptive just now, regardless of whether the other party had such an idea, first deceive him, and then coerce and lure, so that he could clearly understand his position.
In Sean's words, this is just a more conventional trick, now it is a seller's market, the initiative is in their hands, if they dare to provoke, agents like him, grasp a lot of hands, and some people rush to cooperate with them.
Seeing that the other party was suppressed, Ralph threw out his real request, "The old rule is to barter, but this time, in addition to grain and salt, seventy percent of the goods are exchanged for this kind of thing, understand?"
A swarthy stone was thrown in front of Chebman.
"Black flint?" said Chebman, surprised, "what do you want this thing for? This thing is of no use except for heating a fire, and the most important thing you need in the mountains is wood, right?"
"How can there be so many whys?" said Ralph with a straight face, "just say if you can do it, give me a good word." ”
"There is no shortage of this kind of thing, a mountain near the Lingdu is made of this kind of black flint, and when the time comes, you only need to organize people to dig it. Chebman said with a bitter face, "But how do you price this kind of thing? If it's too low, I can't afford the transportation fee alone, and if it's high, you're not happy, aren't you?"
"You can rest assured about this, we just said, we do business in line with the principle of mutual benefit and reciprocity, and we will never let you suffer, the price of black flint and the price of grain are five to one, five carts of black flint top a cart of grain, how about it, this price is quite reasonable?"
"Five carts of black flint topped with one cart of grain. Chebman's heart was quickly calculated, from the qualification to dig up the black flint, to the cost of hiring people to dig it out and transport it over, and found that there was still a little surplus, although it was not big, but it was also a piece of meat, and he was immediately relieved.
At the same time, I was secretly shocked in my heart, it seems that there are also high-ranking people behind the other party, the price card is very accurate, and he will always leave him a piece of meat that is not big or small, which makes him itchy and unbearable, although he knows that this is the other party's intention, but he is still led away by the other party.
This time, Chipman didn't dare to play tricks again, but quickly agreed, and at the same time laid out his own practical problems. The first few batches of transactions are mainly based on grain and salt, after all, there is no ready-made black flint, I not only need to hire people to mine, but also need to do a good job in all aspects, only in this way, our trading can be long-lasting, this period is not less than two or three months, the proportion must be added little by little, you also know how difficult it is to walk after entering the mountain, just to transport these grain and salt, we have spent a lot of manpower and material resources, replaced by black flint with five times the volume of black flint, the difficulty will be greatly increased. ”
"That's understandable. Ralph smiled and said, "But don't worry, when your black flint can be transported into the mountains, a whole new path will await you." ”
"If that's the case, it's not good enough. Chebman said so, but he didn't think so, he thought that building roads was such a simple thing?
In particular, the difficulty of building a road in the mountains of seventy or eighty kilometers has increased significantly, and the most important point is that the relationship between the two sides is not so gentle, this rugged and difficult mountain road is their biggest barrier, if they build the road to the bottom of the Bas, they will not be afraid of the army led by Manyu to rush in.
Chebman's appearance, Ralph saw in his eyes, but did not have any desire to explain, this kind of human insight limits their imagination, and when the time comes, speak to them with facts.
"By the way, what is the maximum supply of this leather armor? I have a number to determine the size of the Black Fire Mine, by the way, does this leather armor have a name? It is even more unique to have a name of its own. ”
"There is a name, Down's nail armor, a hundred pairs a month. ”
"Tang's nail armor is a good tongue-twisting name, and it is also a unique point. 100 pairs a month, a small number!"
"It's really less now, but it's just for a while, and soon the number will increase, but our products are not only this, we also have a variety of finished drugs, you can also take a look. Ralph magically pulled out a bunch of jars and jars again, causing Chebman to look around and wonder if there was something else hidden.
Different from the silence last time, this time Ralph can be said to be agitating the three-inch tongue, and the product he just took out was very thoughtful from the function to the curative effect, "This is hemostatic muscle powder, a necessary medicine for going out to travel and killing the enemy, any knife wound, after sprinkling, can be wrapped in a linen cloth, not only externally, but also internally, hemostasis and muscle building have miraculous effects." ”
"This is a strong bone powder, which has a miraculous effect on fracture injuries and diseases, and speeds up the recovery of bones, but before taking this powder, you need to correct the bones first, otherwise it is easy to grow crooked, which is a big trouble, in addition, it can also be used as a bone forging aid, which has a good effect. ”
"This is a strong poison, as long as you take no more than a tenth of a pound, it will not be fatal, but it can effectively kill a variety of parasites in the body's intestines and stomach, the only flaw is that it will be accompanied by severe abdominal pain and diarrhea in the process. ”
"Dissipating heat and taking it with boiling water has a certain alleviating effect on all kinds of acute diseases accompanied by fever, especially wind and cold diseases. ”
Chebman was dumbfounded when he heard this, no matter how much he had seen it, he had never seen this kind of finished medicine, let alone this kind of straightforward sales pitch, and his eyes were staring at the pile of bottles and cans in front of him, and he was evaluating the value of these things in his heart.
If what Ralph said is true, no, even if the effect is only one-tenth of what he said, these things are still priceless, and in the face of their value, the so-called Down's nail armor is simply not enough, and they will directly subvert the existing medical monopoly system.
Because as long as there are these kinds of medicines, even an ordinary quack doctor can become a miracle doctor, and it will be the gospel of the entire people of the Manyu Army, no, it is the gospel of the people of the entire Ashan Continent, because he has never heard of such a finished medicine for sale.
I heard that the witches of the witch secret meeting have all kinds of mysterious potions in their hands, and they are said to have various magical effects, but the things in the hands of witches are not drunk by ordinary people!
But this thing is different from the new product of Tang's nail nails, the good of Tang's nail nails is in the open, and you can test it with all kinds of most direct means, but there is no way to try these things in front of you, before they enter the stomach, they are just a bunch of colorful powder, and they can't see the tricks.
Chebman's success was not accidental, he had a ruthless spirit, pulled out his dagger again, and pulled it towards his arm fiercely, for the sake of the greater good, he had to test the medicine himself.
Ralph took Chebman's hand and said with a smile: " Mr. Chebman is really very human, this courage is not ordinary people, but there is no need to do it, these are all free samples given to you, you can find a chance to try it on the right person, see the effect, let's talk about the next thing, if you really want to test the medicine yourself, there is no need to give yourself a knife, the effect of hemostatic muscle sand is limited to hemostasis and muscle, for tetanus and other infectious diseases in general, once accidentally infected, it will be fatal, come, take this broken intestine scatter test, most people have parasites in their bodies, take a deworming repellent, it is good for the body, at most it is accompanied by some abdominal pain, endure it can pass。 ”
"Yes, yes!" "Man's courage is often instantaneous, and when he is stopped, Chebman no longer has the courage to cut himself twice."
In fact, now that he thinks about it, he is afraid that if he hadn't been stopped by Ralph, he would have cut his arm in half just now, and he didn't know what kind of trick he had just committed to come up with such a bad idea, unlike his usual cautious and steady style of doing things.
After this little episode, Chebman has no intention of testing the drug on the spot, how can he say that he is also a successful person now, and his life is more expensive than before, this kind of dangerous thing, it is better to leave it to others to try!
After hurriedly handing over the goods, Chebman took ten pairs of Down's nail armor and a large number of bottles and cans to go first, this deal wants to be really finalized, Patalem is impossible to bypass this pass, you must get his nod to get it, as long as he nods, this deal is half of it.
In the process of trading, Chebman's team unknowingly changed ten Andes' faces, but Chebman's transportation labor was mainly Andes, after all, they were now doing business on the Andes ground, and with such faces, they would cause less trouble.
And the people he uses are not fixed every time, and there are two-thirds of the fresh faces every time, not to mention that he just replaced ten people, a large team of two or three hundred people, even if ten people are mixed in, it is difficult to detect anything.
The ten men followed Chebman's caravan all the way through the Bastille, and then left silently, as they had done when they came, until the final examination found that ten men were missing, and most of them were treated as fugitive slaves, and a few Byron gold coins were compensated.
The trail of these ten people is not as hidden as it seems, at least in the eyes of many high-ranking leaders of the Manyu Army, from the moment they entered the Bastille, they have already fallen under surveillance, but no one has taken action against them, because this is the default condition of the original transaction with the Andes.
These ten people also knew their situation, and after leaving the team, they didn't stay long, passed through the town, and soon came out of the Manyu army leader.
Some went directly to the east, in the direction of the Broken Grassland guarded by the Strachage family.
Others went south, to the Carthusian military lords ruled by the Kingsley family.
Others headed southwest to the plains of Asia Minor, the fiefdom of the Lancelots, the supreme rulers of the Byron League.
As for where they went, no one cared, although everyone was nominally in the Byron Union family, but the relationship between the two sides was definitely not close, let alone harmonious.
