Chapter 65: Business
The owner of the Rest of the House has always been a mysterious character, and no one knows where he came from, only that he has been running a shop in the Log Oasis for more than thirty years.
The Rest Shop does everything, as long as you can afford it. There was once someone who wanted to hit the attention of the rest shop, but the final result was a direct evaporation from the world, and there was no exception.
For more than 30 years since the opening of the rest shop, only the boss who was called the boss and didn't know his real name shocked people, but on this day, he was shocked.
1,860 tons of sand cores!
If you really want to calculate the value, the rest shop has made a deal that is worth far more than this, but ......
That's 1,860 tons of sand cores!
The same thing has different values in different contexts.
The same sand core to the outside environment, although it is still in demand, but it is only in demand.
But in the Arsa wilderness, the 1,860-ton sand core will be grabbed by the seven major powers.
"Boss, are you answering or not?" Tang Dou looked innocent.
"Pick it up!" The boss looked at Tang Dou with red eyes: "Young man, I remind you one last time, you'd better not joke with me!" My friendship with Morion is friendship, but business is business! ”
"Don't worry, I'm also a businessman, so I never joke about business. In fact, boss, you should understand that if it weren't for Morion, I wouldn't have handed it all over to you. You also said, friendship is friendship, business is business! Tang Dou spread out his hand.
The boss took a deep breath and laughed dryly: "Then let's talk about business first, and then talk about friendship." What are you going to do with these sand cores? ”
"First of all, I asked my boss to help me purify one ton of material and fifty cubic meters of fuel. And then I want slaves, clean slaves, as long as they are clean, age doesn't matter, gender doesn't matter. Finally, I want this, it's a list! Tang Dou handed over the list that had been prepared a long time ago.
There was grain on it, there were livestock, there were all kinds of materials.
No jewelry, no ready-made gear, no luxuries, all the most practical things.
The boss glanced at Tang Dou: "You plan to open up your own forces?" "He has seen too many people, encountered too many things, and on the premise of doing business, he has also supported several large and small forces, so he can see at a glance what Tang Dou wants to do.
Tang Dou shrugged and didn't speak, but it could be regarded as a tacit acquiescence.
"Okay, business is business!" The boss muttered, took out a calculation tool similar to an abacus and calculated for a long time: "Well, according to your requirements, remove the purification fee, and then deduct the part you want to keep." You can also exchange it for a thousand slaves, ten tons of grain, three hundred sand beasts, and all I can do for you on your list! ”
The boss gestured a number.
Tang Dou looked back at Ellie and Zhou Chubby.
The former is considered the military director of the new workshop, and the latter is the head of the interior. Naturally, they knew if they were enough for the planned amount.
Zhou Chupang and Ellie shook their heads at the same time.
"My lord, the number of slaves is about the same as we had discussed, but there is too little food and livestock. The population has gone up, and it's useless if our supplies can't keep up! Zhou Fatpang said in a low voice.
In fact, there will be no shortage of food in the source of life space, Tang Dou can directly use life energy to give birth to a large amount of food at any time, the rune array of land reclamation has undergone many changes, coupled with the assistance of the source of life space, Tang Dou can completely make the entire new workshop expand tenfold in an instant and there will be no shortage of food.
But this is not the result that Tang Dou wants to see.
Too many God-given things are not precious enough, and when a new workshop is established, too much help beyond human power will reduce cohesion and hard work.
This is not only clear to Tang Dou, but also the management of the new workshop (Ellie, Zhou Fatpang, Morion, Lin Xiao and others) are also very clear, so they have already discussed it, unless it reaches the point where there is no choice, they will not use the assistance of the Source of Life Space to add the Wilderness Rune Array to quickly spawn.
In fact, because of the abundant life energy, the source of life space matures earlier than the outside world in the crops themselves, and the yield is also much higher.
Zhou Fatpang's words were half because of his own common understanding of the management of the new workshop, and on the other hand, he said it to the boss.
The Tao in this can be described as the sentence "friendship is friendship, business is business".
Sure enough, after the boss heard Zhou Fatpang's words, his expression moved slightly, but he quickly suppressed all the abnormalities and pretended that he hadn't heard anything.
Ellie took Zhou's words; "My lord, our combat effectiveness is seriously insufficient now, according to the requirements of adults, we need to make up for the equipment, but these materials are not enough for us!"
Tang Dou nodded and looked back at the boss: "Then boss, if you want to triple everything except for slaves, well, no, the grain is fivefold, and the others are tripled, how much do you think I have to make up?" ”
The boss seemed to have calculated an account in his heart, so he didn't hesitate at all: "According to what you said, unless you find eight hundred tons of sand cores, or something of equivalent!" ”
Tang Dou sighed again, and then buckled his chin to make a thinking motion.
"Young man, if you don't have that capital, you don't have much appetite, you have to eat one bite at a time!" The boss began to teach Tang Dou a lesson again.
It seems that Tang Dou shocked him, so he was unhappy, and he had to find a way to wipe Tang Dou's face off.
Tang Dou rummaged through the space bag around his waist for a while, and then pulled out a white wooden strip with a whole body.
The wooden strip is 60 centimeters long and the size of a baby's arm, and as soon as you take it out, it fills the whole store with a natural atmosphere that makes you can't help but take a deep breath.
The boss's gaze became as sharp as a knife in an instant.
"How about this? I guess it's worth more than 800 tons of sand cores, right? I think I could add a few more things, no problem, right? Tang Dou smiled and put the wooden stick on the counter, but his hand did not leave.
The boss's gaze fell silent again, trying to reach out to see the truth of the wooden bar, but halfway through, he shrank back again.
"This thing, even if it is taken out, no one will dare to take it except me!" The boss looked at Tang Dou.
"I don't have to sell it, I can make it into a finished product, and then auction it off at a higher price and in a crazier way, I promise, the lords of the seven great countries will kneel and lick it!" Tang Dou grinned: "No, he happens to be a rune master, and he also knows a little about how to build!" ”
"Aren't you afraid that the owner will find you desperate?"
"Who in this wilderness will go out and not be hunted down by the long-eared people? It's not too much for me, is it? ”
"Aren't you afraid that I'm going to be black now?"
"I'm afraid, so I won't give this thing to you until I get the goods!"
"Then it's my turn to worry that you've taken something and run away!"
"It's easy, you just see I'll do it!"
In front of the boss, Tang Dou took out a rune treasure pen, took out another animal skin bag, put the wooden strip into it, and then used the rune treasure pen to brush and write more than thirty runes on the animal skin bag, forming a rune array glowing with red light.
The boss took a closer look at the rune, and his pupils contracted into needles again: "The ancient elven language, the demon language, the dragon language, and a kind of rune I don't know at all, and I really deserve to be a rune master." I think whoever wants to brute-force this rune will only get nothing! ”
"It's going to explode! The power will probably blow up half of the entire log oasis! I still can't do it, I was going to blow up the whole oasis! Tang Dou's face was shy.
The boss twitched the corner of his mouth: "Put the things here with me, and when you get the goods, if you don't unseal them for me, what should I do?" ”
"You can do the same thing, put things with rune seals, and then we can lift them face to face?" Tang Dou said.
"You're a rune master!" The implication of the boss was that he was not confident that he could make runes that could not be cracked by the other party in front of a rune master like Tang Dou, especially ......
His gaze fell on Fu Bao's pen: "Tianma bone bamboo, good thing!" ”
Tang Dou laughed and took the Fu Bao pen: "It's just a gadget, let the boss laugh." So the boss thinks of a way? I'm very sincere! ”
The boss laughed twice: "Then it's up to you." Although the deal is big, it is not worth being my old sign for more than 30 years. Put the things here with me, and when the goods are ready, you will come and unseal them for me. A rune master shouldn't be so bad! ”
"Boss, rest assured, I have never been a fool in business!" Tang Dou patted his chest and reassured.
"Okay, your slaves can be picked now, grain, livestock I will prepare for you tomorrow, the rest will take three days, how about it?" The boss really has a doorway. With so many things, he could prepare half of them on the same day and finish them in the remaining three days.
"Xiao girl, fat man, you go and choose slaves. Ellie, Morion, let's go to the place where we live and get ready! By the way, boss, you have to protect my apprentice and my butler! Tang Dou looked at the boss again.
The boss rolled his eyes: "Of course! Until the business is fully handed over, you are protected by the Rest Shop! As he spoke, he took out a few token-like things: "Hang on your body, no one dares to trouble you!" ”
Tang Dou took it with a smile: "Thank you so much!" ”
When Tang Dou and the others left the shop, the boss grabbed the animal skin bag containing the core of the sacred tree and fell into deep thought.
Lin Xiao and Zhou Fatpang were separated from Tang Dou and the three of them at the door of the store, and when they went out, someone was waiting at the door and took the two to choose slaves. According to the plan, they were going to be six hundred young first, half men and half women, and the remaining four hundred were going to pick those with special abilities, such as old man Mo.
And Tang Dou and the three of them were led to the place of accommodation by another special person.
The rest shop, although the store is small, but the entire log oasis is at its disposal, here, there are only two kinds of people who dare to challenge the rest shop.
One is the one who does not know the situation, and the other is the dead.
Often the first person becomes the second person.
Tang Dou and the others were arranged in a hotel, which seemed to have received a notice early, and had packed up several rooms early, and even had a separate courtyard, just waiting for Tang Dou and them to come back.
"The people who followed us just now saw that we had a sign on our Rest Shop, and they didn't follow us anymore." Inside, Morian said.
"There's a bit of a doorway to that little rest shop, Mr. Morion, what do you think he's all about?" Tang Dou asked curiously.
Morian shook his head: "There are many rumors, but none of them have been confirmed, some people say that the boss is the representative of the seven powers who pushed him to the forefront, some people say that the boss is simply the lord of one of the seven powers, and some people even say that the seven powers are actually under the rule of the boss!" ”
"But one thing is for sure, although the rest shop has only been open for more than thirty years, the log oasis has such a style more than seven hundred years ago, but at that time there was no specific small shop, but secretly controlled!"
Tang Dou: "In other words, someone is secretly in charge of the log oasis, but it was completely secret before, but now it is placed in front of the stage." Well, part of it is out! ”
Morion: "Yes! ”
"Isn't it said that the log oasis is managed by the seven powers in turn? How did those sent to manage the log oasis react to this? Tang Dou thought about it and asked again.
Morian shrugged: "They didn't react at all, they just came to collect taxes, and they didn't care about anything but taxes." More than 20 years ago, not long after the rest shop was placed at the front desk, there was a lord who had just suffered a defeat and was about to grab a ticket for the log oasis, and then fled to the outer ring to make a comeback, but the people sent by the seven great countries didn't care at all, and it was the owner of the rest shop who came out to settle it! ”
"Oh? This boss is also a master? I really can't see through what kind of strength he has! Tang Dou became interested.
Morian smiled bitterly: "If the boss really settled, then there would not be so many legends, in fact, the boss stood up, and it turned out that everyone in the log oasis that was originally scattered and sand was united." Adults should not underestimate these guys living in the log oasis, many of them are the original lords who have lost their power, invested most of their money, and came here to settle down, although their power has been greatly reduced, but their own strength, and some loyal subordinates are still there, and it is just a matter of separation, once united, the strength is not weaker than the original Talos Lord! ”
"Oh?" Tang Dou was really interested now: "I see." That's a lot of fun! ”
The three of them chatted about various rumors about the rest shop, and two hours passed, and the night was already deep, and Lin Xiao and Zhou Fatpang finally returned.
"My lord, the slave has been chosen, and the slave owner said that he would send it to us tomorrow, but ......" Zhou Panpang lowered his head, not daring to continue.
Tang Dou raised his eyebrows, looked at Zhou Fatpang, and then looked at Lin Xiao: "Xiao girl, let's say, what are you doing again?" ”
Tang Dou knows the two of them too well, Zhou Chupang doesn't dare to disobey his orders, Lin Xiao is different, this girl knows herself better, knows what can be violated, and when to disobey only need to sell a cute.
However, Lin Xiao also seemed to know that what he did this time was a bit inauthentic, and he waited for a while before he lowered his head and said, "Master, I bought a hundred slaves and came back!" ”
"Huh?" Not to mention Tang Dou, even Ellie and Morian were stunned. (To be continued.) )
