Carl thought that the clan would press down more than half like when discussing the iron cannon business before, but he didn't expect that the other party was only willing to pay a tenth of the price, although he didn't want to make much money now, but in any case, it was enough for him to enjoy his old age, a few thousand gold judgments sounded a lot, but if he really wanted to live a life like before, it was still far from enough, he didn't want to wait for his old age and decrepit to live on the streets.

"Lord Takayama, this price is too low, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's hard for me to accept."

"There's nothing to be sorry for, I thought of this result before I even opened my mouth, but don't you want to hear the clan's proposal, of course, if you say it, you also have the right to refuse."

"Well, I'd like to hear your advice first."

"My idea is, since you have purchased these two production lines, then it proves that you want to enter this industry, and now the problem is that there is no place where you can open a factory with peace of mind, and my idea is, why don't you build the factory in Japan, build it in my territory, so that the problem is solved?

Although the territory of the Takayama family is not too large at the moment, it is enough for you and your factory, and as for security, you don't have to worry, the Takayama family has the most elite military in all of Japan, and my lord has become the largest force in Japan, so even if someone wants to fight your idea, they don't have the ability.

And our cooperation will be more unbreakable, and of course it will save you a lot of money due to the low level of the Japanese economy, so I would also like you to give you a bigger discount on the price of the iron cannon, and I swear it won't be long before you like it. ”

Carl didn't answer directly, but after careful consideration, he said, "Takayama-sama's proposal is good. But as I said earlier, I don't want to continue working, I just want to live the rest of my life quietly, rather than focusing my time on making money. It's better to enjoy life, this is the original intention of these two production lines. ”

The clan didn't expect him to refuse, after all, for him, this is the only way to bring his chamber of commerce back to life now, and building a factory in a different place, this kind of thing abounds, and the only thing that is not taken into account is that he has no relatives anymore.

With Carl's refusal, the two men in the captain's room fell silent again. One wants to sell. One has no money to buy, but wants it, this problem is really difficult to solve.

However, this did not stump the clan, and after a while, I only heard the clan ask from the clan: "Mr. Karl, I want to know your final reserve price. ”

"If you want to live out your old age in peace, you need at least 30,000 gold judgments, and I have reduced this price by half from the original price. So it can't be any lower. ”

"In this case, there is another way, which is to use installment payment to buy those two iron cannon production lines."

"What does it mean to pay in installments. Please speak up, too. Karl thought for a long time and didn't figure out what this meant, so he could only ask.

"It's very simple, you give me the production line first, and as for the 30,000 gold judgments, I will divide them into five years, and pay you one-fifth of the cost each year, during which time you can stay in Japan or go anywhere, as long as you come and get back your share of the money every year. I don't know what you think? ”

The clan carefully calculated, if he paid 6,000 gold judgments a year, that is, 30,000 yuan, he could still do it with the current financial resources of the family, so he proposed this method, but because there was no constraint at all. So as for whether you can succeed or not, then you can only see whether the other party believes in yourself. …,

But to be honest, if he changed his words, then he would definitely not agree, so he had already thought that I am afraid that this method should not be successful.

However, what he didn't expect was that the other party did not refuse directly, but said: "Lord Gao Shan, you are testing my trust in you, to be honest, this is too dangerous for me, if you don't believe in your words, then I'm afraid I can only get six thousand gold judgments, and even if I want to ask you for it, I don't have this ability, and if your power is defeated, this money will also be wasted, right?" ”

The clan didn't want to hide anything, just listened to him say directly: "Yes, what you said is right, and the only way I can come up is these two methods, if you are not willing to continue to operate, then I can only think of the last way, before I say it, I have already thought that you will not agree, so you don't have to go too far to the heart." ”

"Lord Takayama, I heard that the samurai of your country are very good at keeping their promises, but I don't know if it's true or not?"

"That's a good point, and promise is the standard of samurai."

"In that case, I hope that your lordship will swear in the name of a samurai and a nobleman that you will not betray your promise, but I wonder if your lord will be willing."

The clan was prepared for failure, but he didn't expect the other party to let himself swear, what does this mean, this completely shows that the other party has agreed to his own method, and the instantaneous gains and losses made the clan unable to speak with excitement.

"It's... Well, Mr. Carr, think about it, it's about the rest of your life. ”

Karl smiled heartily and said, "Lord Takayama, this is just my test for you, if it weren't for your last words, and after I proposed, I would not have sworn without hesitation, then I would not have taken such a risk to make a deal with you, and you are thinking about me at the end, which proves that you can still be trusted."

Besides, if you really regret it then, although it is useless to use force, I can completely use the contract in my hand to make your reputation stink, as far as I know, your country's samurai have the most important reputation, if the reputation is gone, then it will be difficult to move an inch, and this is the reason why I dare to agree with you to pay in installments, do you think I am right? ”

"You old fox."

"No matter how cunning I am, I'm not as good as the famous Owari Fox of Lord Takayama." After the business was negotiated, Carl was in a much better mood, and he couldn't help but start teasing.

In order to avoid long nights and dreams, when the joke was over, he couldn't wait to say, "Okay, since you and I both agree, then hurry up and write a contract." ”

Karl shook his head and said, "Your Excellency, you seem to have forgotten to swear an oath, in the name of a samurai, and in the name of a nobleman. ”

Seeing that Karl did not give up, he said so solemnly, and the clan had to swear that since the most important price issue had been negotiated, there were no irreconcilable problems when drafting the contract, and the atmosphere was very relaxed.

However, after Shang talked about the worst, Carl insisted on adding one more, that is, if Carl was in need, then it was necessary for the clan and his descendants to provide for his retirement.

And after seeing this article, the clan did not want to agree, after all, as a Chinese, although crossed, but still attached great importance to this aspect, but after thinking about it, the most reluctant still agreed, because Carl is indeed quite pitiful, and this time he has helped himself so much, he would rather take all the risks in the past, he has crossed, can he forget or forget the previous things.

Through this transaction, both Clan Zong and Carl felt that it seemed that the relationship between the two was no longer as simple as the original partner.

It took a whole day for the clan to get off the ship, and he thought that Carl would be in a hurry to get the first payment, so when he got off the ship, he immediately asked Yamada Nagamasa to prepare, but what he didn't expect was that Carl refused. …,

"Isn't it true that Takayama-sama doesn't want to see me like that, although it's not impossible to leave now, but if I really leave like this, I'm afraid that the craftsmen under the command of the machine lord on the ship won't be able to figure it out for a while."

"I don't have such an idea, it's not that I'm afraid that you'll be worried, so I'll bring it up first."

Watching the ship's sailors unload the bulky machines from the ship, the clan thought of a new problem that needed to be solved, and that was where to put the machines.

As far as the current situation is concerned, if it is put in Kai Town, Yamada Nagamasa is responsible for production, then not only does it save the trouble on the road, but it can also start production immediately, but the clan knows that it is too unsafe to put it here, and if it is known by other forces, then even if they offend the merchants of Kai Town, they will definitely send a large army to take away these two production lines, and their own power is not here, and then they can only lash out of reach and stare dryly.

And even if the strength of the people is hindered by the strength of the Oda family, they can still maintain restraint for the time being, but after Nobunaga's death, it will be a real chaos in the world, and no one will be tempted if they are not satisfied, so no matter what, it is safest to move these dozen or so bulky machines to the land under his rule.

Although it is a bit troublesome now, it can solve the problem once and for all.

When the clan thought of this, he hurriedly stepped forward to stop the sailors who were carrying the machines under the ship, and found Karl to speak: "Mr. Karl, I don't plan to put these machines in Kaimachi, because this place is not within the scope of the power of the Takayama family, and once it encounters danger, the Takayama family has no ability to control it at all. ”

After hearing this, Carl also felt reasonable, and couldn't help asking: "Then where do you need us to send the goods, but declare in advance that I am only responsible for shipping, and the affairs on the ground can only be relied on by yourself, Lord Takayama." ”

"The clan understands this, and it will not be difficult for the gentleman, since you are willing to be in charge of shipping, then I hope you can transport these two production lines to Kumano Sea, I don't know what you think."

"Yes, yes, although it can't be transported by land, but I will go to your territory with these machines, and go straight to the people you send to learn how to use them."
