Chapter Seventy-Four: Bargaining
In fact, when Lu Shuang heard the price quoted by Hu, she was overjoyed.
Based on the raw materials available in the market and the wages of intermediate blacksmiths, this price may be just the market price. But Feitian Town is different, the miners owned by it are all junior miners, and all these raw materials can be produced and dug by themselves, and there is no need to purchase them at market prices. At the same time, the lowest life occupations in Flying Town are all high-level occupations, and it is easy to produce equipment made of iron, and in their eyes, producing an iron sword is similar to that of an intermediate blacksmith producing an iron sword. If the iron sword of one thousand copper coins can earn about three hundred copper coins for ordinary people, then Lu Shuang can earn at least half of it.
Lu Shuang couldn't help but think of the conversation with the blacksmiths.
Feitian Town plus other villages and towns, all the settlements add up to a total of 20,000 junior miners, which is the situation of the latest batch of miners after they have learned their skills. A beginner miner can only mine 15 units per day before comprehending the skill, but after comprehending the skill, he can mine 150 units per day, which is the difference between Feitian Town and other territories.
With 20,000 people, the daily mining volume will reach 3 million, and if you don't use it quickly, the next batch of miners will accumulate more when they understand the skills. The market price of one unit of iron ore is about 18 copper coins to 20 copper coins, and a junior miner in the territory only has 150 copper coins a day when he has a full workload, and even Lu Shuang is embarrassed and considers raising their wages in the future. But there is also a disadvantage to too many professions in the territory, that is, the salary has to cost a lot, if everyone is paid, then it can't be too much, Lu Shuang is worried about this problem, and is ready to solve the problem of low income through market means.
"Hmm... It's okay at the price. ”
How was Hu Zheng going to bargain with Lu Shuang, but Lu Shuang agreed to the price he proposed? Why are Inhumans so good at talking?
In fact, about the suit of the fifth-order soldier, it is not enough to make much money, if the price is too expensive, it is better to arrange more people to produce it in your own territory, maybe what if a few more blacksmiths are promoted? Lu Shuang wants to hit the market of high-end equipment, and that is where his advantage lies.
Lu Shuang naturally wouldn't tell him the real situation, but continued to fool him: "Trading, it's about a win-win situation, I can't set the price too high, so that everyone will be unhappy." If we can reach a cooperation at a price that we are satisfied with, I believe that we will have more opportunities for cooperation in the future. ”
Hu was very satisfied with this price, and secretly thought that this stranger was also arrogant enough, and he would reflect with the above in the future and do more of his business.
"That's very good, since Mr. Qingyu is so bold, then let's talk about the next one."
"Okay, let's talk about iron weapons and plate armor." Lu Shuang was a little impatient, because the profits of fine iron weapons and plate armor were greater.
"I wonder how much Level 3 equipment Mr. Karuha can sell? As long as the price is not outrageous, we will take it. "Hu has a great demand for Level 3 equipment.
"Well, you also know that a fine iron weapon consumes a lot of iron ore to make, and the cost of raw materials alone costs two or three thousand copper coins, plus the wages of senior blacksmiths and the consumption of various processes, the cost is estimated to be about 4,000 copper coins. Plate armor is much cheaper, but it can be sold at a low price. "Lu Shuang has learned about the production situation in advance, and she is not afraid of being deceived.
"How much does Mr. Light Feather want to price, mainly a fine iron sword."
"15,000 copper coins." When Lu Shuang said this number, her eyes lit up, as if she was saying that I will eat you.
The refined iron sword Lu Shuang sold in the market was 50,000 copper coins, but it was impossible to reach this price in real transactions, generally around 15,000 copper coins to 20,000 copper coins. And don't look at the price so high, in fact, it is in short supply in the market, and even if someone is willing to sell, someone will be willing to buy, after all, high-grade blacksmiths are very scarce.
"Could this be a little cheaper? If Mr. Karuha can price it a little cheaper, I promise to buy it in large quantities. Hu Xiang patted it, this price is low, and even if he went to other places to find a seller before, there was no need to talk about one or two hundred thousand copper coins. But since it's a buyer, it naturally wants to buy it at a low price.
Although Lu Shuang really wanted to imagine the people in those film and television dramas haggling frantically, as an otaku, he was too lazy to earn, and the initiative was actually with him, and said with a smile: "Mr. Hu, listen to me, this price is already low, if I buy fine iron equipment at this price, I am willing to sell it in large quantities, otherwise I may sell equipment to people who are willing to pay a higher price." ”
Hu stared at Lu Shuang for a long time, and saw a pair of eyes with no information under the mask. After a long time, he said, "I don't know how much Mr. Qingyu said about selling in large quantities?" ”
"It's less than 100,000 in a short period of time, is it okay?" This number can only be said by Lu Shuang.
"Deal!" Hu was determined.
Subsequently, several people also bargained in more detail about the fine iron spear and plate armor, but on the whole both sides were relatively satisfied. The NPC forces on Hu's side think that the price is fair, and more importantly, they can sell it to them. On Lu Shuang's side, because there are many high-level blacksmiths and high-level tailors in the territory, as well as a huge iron ore output, the production cost can be kept very low, and the actual cost of a refined iron sword is only about 2,000 to 3,000 copper coins, and the profit can reach 12,000 copper coins. And with the demand of NPC buyers, it seems that they are willing to buy 100,000 weapons, and then it will be a large amount of income.
The next thing is the main thing, if there are still some intermediate blacksmiths and senior blacksmiths in one territory, then the special blacksmiths are the few, and steel weapons and fish scale armor are also rising.
After some enthusiastic struggle, the price of a steel sword or steel knife was set at 40,000 copper coins, the steel gun was set at 50,000 copper coins because of the more materials used, and the fish scale armor was 30,000 copper coins. Seeing this number, Hu Xin felt a little painful, his monthly salary was not much, and the equipment worn by a soldier was worth seven or eight gold. Of course, these soldiers were not equipped for ordinary soldiers, and all the money spent on them was well thought out.
After talking about the fourth-level equipment, the two sides fell into silence inexplicably, because what was discussed below was the final idea in everyone's hearts.
"Ahem, Mr. Qingyu, I heard a few days ago that Mr. Han Kang of the Tianjian Chamber of Commerce plans to sell a batch of eighth-order soldiers' suits to the government, I don't know if it's true." The Eighth-Order soldier's suit is important to the forces behind Hu, and he must complete the tasks assigned from above.
"It's true, do you want to..."Lu Shuang smiled secretly.
"Ahem, I don't know if this eighth-order soldier's suit can be sold to us, we are willing to pay a lot of money to buy it." The king-level profession is a treasure-like existence for any force, and it is also a pain point.
"Don't hide it from Mr. Hu, although the daily output of our Flying Town Eighth-Order Soldier's set is reasonable, I don't plan to sell it to the outside world." Lu Shuang politely refused.
"Why? Do you think that the price we are giving is not appropriate? Hu Bu explained.
"No, no. It's just that due to the small number of ultimate buildings in the territory, although there are enough king-level professions, they can't play the maximum efficiency, and now they can't even meet the needs of the territory's army. Lu Shuang said regretfully.
Hu got a lot of news from Lu Shuang's words, Feitian Town, the territory created by the Inhumans, not only has eighth-order soldiers, but also seems to have a lot. Another point is that there is more than one king-level profession in Lu Shuang's territory, is there two or three king-level blacksmiths but no ultimate blacksmith shop? Having a king-level profession and not configuring them with the ultimate building is too tyrannical, even Hu Du has to stand up and condemn the stranger in front of him.
