Chapter 22 Unfair Trade
"What do you say? 300 gold? Why don't you grab it! What kind of broken weapon actually costs 300 gold coins a piece? "The manager, who originally looked like a wealthy man, was completely shocked now.
In their place, a gold coin can make a family live with good wine and meat for a month, but at this point, the gold coin is suddenly worthless.
"You can say what questions you have." Ziggy still said calmly that business is negotiated!
"I just want to know why it's so expensive!" Trying to calm his mood, the representative of the nobles expressed his doubts, and the other nobles were also curious.
"Everyone must have heard of the power of this weapon, but there must be very few people who have seen it with their own eyes, in order to forget everyone to have a better understanding, I decided to take everyone to the training base, where you can also experience it."
After saying that, he stood up, and when the others heard that they still had an experience, they were immediately excited, after all, listening to others and trying it by themselves are two different concepts!
A large group of people walked out and entered the training base under the leadership of an elven guard, it was very empty, and the training was in full swing on the target training ground, the elves and half-elves who originally used bows and arrows were now all adapting to this more convenient weapon, and after seeing Ziggy and Morton coming, they stopped what they were doing, saluted them, and then stood aside and gave way to the field.
The initiative of the elves also surprised these nobles, there are not a few of them who have dealt with the elves, but most of them are the nostrils and the back of the elves' heads, when have you ever seen the elves so humble? It seems that the strength of this territory is really worth looking at, at least if the elves are like this, the marksman side will not have to worry.
A sharpshooter guard composed of elves, as long as it appears on the battlefield, it is a nightmare for the enemy.
"Guys, that's what we're going to buy and sell next. You go to those samples here! Ziggy said as he picked up an M16, which was an assault rifle, and instructed the elves next to him to bring out more guns so that the men could test them.
The elf nodded, turned and walked into the training warehouse next to him, and soon everyone under his leadership received their own guns. Everyone was stroking their guns excitedly, but it was clear that they wouldn't use them.
Ziggy started a demonstration on it, although it was not very professional, but it was enough to use it, just let them see the effect, Ziggy didn't expect them to take this thing to battle.
For a while, there was a lot of gunfire in the shooting range, and although there were a lot of jokes, the nobles finally understood the capabilities of these weapons. Sure enough, compared to bows and arrows, the range is longer, and the weight is not heavy, and the most important thing is that it is powerful and simple to operate, basically as long as it is a person, it can be used after training, and it is definitely the best weapon.
Someone placed an order on the spot, "Chief Ziggy, three hundred gold coins." I need a hundred, my territory is relatively small and somewhat mountainous. I think a hundred are enough to protect my castle! ”
It was a small lord who spoke in a small basin in a mountain col, but it was rich in products and surrounded by mountains on three sides, as long as the entrance was guarded. Basically, there is no danger.
Ziegy nodded, then asked his subordinates to write it down, and the other person took the nobleman to the exchange on the other side, asking him to look at what he needed, and see that the nobleman had already made a move. Sure enough, I couldn't help it, one by one, you two hundred, and I five hundred, all of them placed orders.
All the small nobles are placing orders, and the other big nobles are still watching, and the chief steward, who was arrogant at the beginning, is surrounded by a group of people, and they are discussing what to do.
"What to do, now those little nobles have bought it, if we don't buy it, maybe they will start a territorial war in the future, so we will suffer! To buy or not to buy? How much to buy? A nobleman asked.
"To be honest, this thing is good, if there are a lot of this weapon, I don't think I even need knights, just let the serfs be armed, and I can protect my territory, those greedy knights are too resource-intensive, and one by one has the strength to look at the top, sometimes they still refuse my orders, I'm fed up, and the first thing I have to deal with after I buy the weapon back is those moths." Another nobleman said as he looked at the gun with glowing eyes.
It seems that he was, so he had a great opinion of knights and was very interested in firearms.
"What do you think! Gangxi housekeeper? The other nobleman asked the steward, whose face was constantly changing.
"If you buy it, you must buy it, but it depends on how to buy, whether it is under our rules, or under their rules, if you can't make them soft this time, all future transactions will be carried out according to today's model, in that case, we are afraid that we will lose a lot of gold coins, so we need to unite and put pressure on them!"
After thinking about it for a long time, I finally said this, a weapon of three hundred gold coins is too expensive! It's not that they can't afford it, it's just that the predatory nature of the nobility has lost them.
I still thought in my heart, if the city that never sleeps agrees, it will be a joint blockade and sanctions against them, of course, most of them are threats, and the lords who are about to blockade will not agree, not to say that it will not work, how can the lords give up like this after they have already enjoyed the products of the city that never sleeps?
"Okay, let's do it, otherwise the steward of Gangxi will be our representative and talk!"
"Yes, yes, the steward of Gangxi is highly respected, and it is the best to deal with these people."
"Yes yes, what do I think too"
“。”
What these people are thinking in their hearts The housekeeper of the Gangxi family is very clear, isn't he afraid of offending people, but they don't want to think about it, if they want to buy at a low price, they will offend others and have nothing to hide, he is not afraid of the revenge of the city that never sleeps, as long as the territory is far away from the territory of several nobles, it is really not easy to fight it.
"No problem, then I'll talk!"
When the little nobles had almost left, the butler of the Gangxi family came forward and said to Zige, "Chief Qige, take a step to speak?" ”
"Okay, follow me," Ziggy said with a laugh, and led him to an office in the training lounge.
"We need a lot of weapons, but we can't accept the price, you know, it's too expensive, even the nobles can't afford it, so we want it to be cheaper! You must know that we have an alliance of more than a dozen nobles, if we can't reach an agreement, I think there will be some mistakes in business cooperation and other things in the future, and our territory is not very peaceful, bandits are more frequent, if there is no such weapons, I'm afraid you can't clean up, and then your caravan will probably suffer losses!
