Chapter 187: Mine Negotiations
The Qin soldiers sent out more than a dozen people to liaise with the surrounding mines and purchase a large amount of iron ore. The people sent out by the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info quickly came back one after another, but the news they brought back made Qin Bing stunned.
The bosses of those mines wanted to interview them, and their tone was very flattering, and some simply said that they would come to the door to apologize.
It's normal to ask for an interview, after all, it's not a big deal to talk about your opinions, and you don't know where to start if you come to make amends. And more than a dozen people are in this tone of coming to make amends, how do you think about it.
"Teacher Cang, what do you think?"
"Naturally, you see with your eyes!" Teacher Cang quipped, and then said: "Don't dare to say anything else, at least one point, the dozen or so mine owners have contacts, and they should have reached some kind of agreement to advance and retreat in a unified manner." ”
There is competition in the same industry, and there is naturally cooperation, just like these mines, they all have a unified organization to divide their respective business scopes, adjust the contradictions between each other, and deal with external bullying.
It's not that more than a dozen of their mines have joined forces to play with Qin Bing, but that Qin Bing contacted more than a dozen mine bosses at once, making them at a loss, thinking that this was a signal from the League of Legends to attack him.
Therefore, these mine owners decided to meet with Qin Bing and talk to see if any of the non-long-eyed guys in their circle had offended the League of Legends.
To put it bluntly, these mine owners are all eating with a group of brothers who sell coolies, and the previous Black Tiger Tribe can scare them three times with a snort, let alone destroy the League of Heroes of the Black Tiger Tribe.
Representatives of more than a dozen mines gathered in the summoner's canyon, and Qin Bing did not beat around the bush and explained his purpose straight to the point.
"In the future, I will cover all the ore produced by your mine, and the price will float by one percent on the basis of the market price, well, it will float upward."
The upward float of one percent means that Qin Bing is willing to buy their ore at 1.1 times the price. It stands to reason that these mine owners should be happy to smile after hearing this, but in fact, they all have sad faces.
One of the older mine owners sighed and shook his head, "Qin Alliance Master, your conditions are indeed very favorable, and we have no reason to refuse, but...... Our iron ore is not all for sale, a large part of it is for food and drinking water, in fact, we are busy all year round, and we can't even make a few dollars, and the so-called 'market price' of ore has nothing to do with us. ”
Hearing this, the other mine owners nodded their heads.
Because most of these mines are located in deserts, the food and drinking water needed by the absentees have to be transported from oases hundreds or even thousands of miles away. In the ore trade, these mine owners are the weaker party, and the right to set prices is in the hands of the buyer, because the buyer has less ore to buy from other houses, and they have less food and drinking water, and the mine immediately has to stop working, or even die of thirst and starvation.
A mine owner scolded: "The XX tribe of dog beeping, everyone else is one load of grain for three loads of ore, but he actually exchanged five loads for me, and it is still moldy old grain." ”
"Forget it, there is a shortage of water in my mine, and the XX tribe exchanges a bucket of water for two loads of ore for me, and picks and picks, as long as the goods are of the highest quality."
"Alas, our brothers worked hard to mine, and in the end all the ore could not be sold at a high price, and was sold cheaply by the neck."
"Those people are not punctual, it is common to be three or five days late, and people have starved to death in my mine."
"I don't make any money."
"It's nice to be able to wrap up a bite to eat."
More than a dozen mine bosses said a word to me, and the scene instantly became a grievance meeting.
Qin Bing kept laughing and didn't speak, but he really believed it, but fortunately, Mr. Cang reminded him in his heart that these mine bosses were colluding to act.
The mine boss who was the first to speak saw that Qin Bing had not answered, and his face suddenly collapsed, stopping everyone's complaints.
"Lord Qin, what we said is the truth, if you don't believe it, you can go out and inquire. The mines had to be supplied with food and water from the nearby oases, which stuck our necks, and the food and water sold to us were just enough to eat and drink, and we couldn't save more than half of the food. In this way, they can reduce the price as much as they want, and we dare not say half a word. ”
"We came this time to ask the Lord of the Qin League to help, as long as you can ensure the food and drink in our mine, all the ore we opened will be handed away, and we will not take a penny."
More than a dozen other mine owners also expressed their stance and even swore to God. It seems that the little oases that provide them with water and food are so ruthless that they are almost exploiting miners who are not slaves, but they are actually no different from slaves.
Qin Bing shook his head, "I still say the same thing, I won't ask for ore in vain, and it will float by one percent according to the market price." ”
Hearing Qin Bing's words, the eyes of more than a dozen mine owners dimmed at the same time, in their opinion, Qin Bing was politely rejecting their request and unwilling to stand up for them.
The boss of the older mine manager stood up and said, "I'm so disturbed, take my leave." ”
The other mine owners also got up one after another and bid farewell to Qin Bing.
But at this time, Qin Bing spoke, "Everyone, listen to me. In the past, although the character of the Black Tiger Tribe was not good, the price of food has always been fair, and our League of Legends has taken over the Summoner Canyon, and we will continue to sell food. Why don't you buy food and water directly from me? ”
More than a dozen mine owners rolled their eyes.
"We've done it before, but it's a long way to go, and it's very time-consuming, so it's not as easy to buy from a nearby oasis. Second, the neighboring oases would make cameos as sand pirates, plundering our caravans of food and water, and many people had died in each mine. In fact, we all know who did it, but we don't dare to retaliate. ”
Qin Bing smiled and took out something and put it on the table, "Everyone, do you recognize this thing?" ”
Pocket jars, now almost a household name, who would be so uninformed.
It's just, what does Qin Bing mean when he takes out the pocket jar? Do we want to exchange pocket jars for our ore? We can't eat, what do we need these jars for?
Qin Bing handed the jar to the mine owner who led him, "Smash it open and try it, oh yes, don't smash it here, go outside." ”
A dozen people walked outside suspiciously, and then stared at the pocket jar in unison.
The mine owner took a deep breath and threw the tiny jar on the ground.
Crash......
A crisp cracking sound sounded, and a surging stream of water instantly erupted on the spot, and it turned out that the pocket jar contained neither weapons nor equipment, but water, a large amount of water.
The mine bosses, who were drenched in soup, were stunned for a while, then ecstatic, and finally wept with joy.
