Chapter Eighty-Seven: Talking Business

Tapping on the solid door of the Iron Shield Mercenary Regimental Headquarters, Yi Hui was not welcomed in by Occam and them as he thought, and Shibel did not jump out and grab his arm like a little white rabbit, in fact, there was no response from the regimental headquarters at all.

Yi Hui, who was standing at the door, felt a little lost in his heart, and thought, "Probably they went out, not at home." After standing for a moment, Yi Hui thought again, "Hehe, don't worry about it for now, I'll go first, this little thing can't stop me, see if I give them a surprise later." ”

Casting the "Trick of Fraud" Yi Hui directly crossed the gate and entered the regimental headquarters, when he saw that the spotless dining table where everyone usually dined had fallen into a thin layer of dust, he knew that Occam and they must have gone far away, and they had been gone for a long time.

Looking at the empty regiment headquarters, Yi Hui's heart was also empty, he thought that he would be able to meet them before the union competition, but it seems that he will not be able to see them again this time for the time being.

Yi Hui rolled up his sleeves and began to clean up, even if he was alone.

In the evening, Yi Hui had already made himself a sumptuous dinner with the ingredients in the space decorations, and placed it on the clean big dining table to start enjoying.

The food is plentiful, and if you eat alone, you will inevitably feel a little lonely.

After dinner, Yi Hui lay on his back on the well-packed bed, unable to sleep for a long time, and the image of Occam was always swirling in his mind like a marquee. He wished that the sound of an argument between Jinley and Scott about the "Attack the Fortress" game could be heard downstairs at this time, and those voices would always accompany him to sleep at night.

After spending the night alone at the regimental headquarters, Yi Hui went out, not in a hurry to go to the thieves' union, he first came to the trade area. The "Round-headed Forged Hammer" weapon shop was Yi Hui's first destination on his trip.

"Welcome, distinguished guest." Greeted by a brown bearded dwarf at the door, Yi Hui found that the person who was now taking care of the guests at the door was no longer the dwarven blacksmith apprentice he and Jinli had met when they first came here, but the boss standing behind the counter was still the same boss - the veteran blacksmith Firebeard.

Yi Hui walked to the front of the counter and said to the old dwarf Firebeard, "I have a business to discuss with the boss personally. ”

The old dwarf looked at the young Yi Hui and tilted his head, shrugged his shoulders and said: "Young man, if you want to buy equipment, you can just pick it directly, our store is clearly marked with prices, and I think our dwarf forging also has enough credibility to ensure our quality." When it comes to business, IMHO, I think your dress and temperament can only be linked to thieves, and there is no doubt that you are not a businessman. ”

Yi Hui smiled, approached Huoxu, and said, "Boss, you are really a noble person, I ordered about tens of thousands of gold coins of equipment in your store about a year ago, all of which are high-quality products. It is precisely because of the reputation and quality of your store that I will talk to the boss about this business. Do you remember that? ”

Firebeard shook his head repeatedly, a large handful of fiery red beards swaying with his movements, "No, no, no, our weapon shop has too much business, and tens of thousands of gold coins are only a small list, which doesn't mean anything." If I had to say it, it would be to prove that you have enough purchasing power, but that doesn't make it necessary for me to talk to you personally. ”

"So, do you have any impressions of this?" Yi Hui smiled and took out Dolan's sword and shook it in front of Firebeard's eyes.

As soon as he saw Dolan's sword, he couldn't move his eyes, and he shouted loudly, "Yes, it's this sword!" I'm impressed, very impressed! Damn, if it weren't for that blonde little gentleman who came to stir up the situation that day, I guess I would have been able to observe it a little more, it was this red sword! But it makes me think about it! Perfect grinding and cutting, precise center of gravity alignment, one-piece casting technology that I can't replicate to this day, and ...... Well, some chicken rib enchantments, too complicated carvings. ”

Huosu took Dolan's sword from Yi Hui's hand and looked at the light for a while, flicking the sword body with two fingers in depth, and then handed it to Yi Hui with satisfaction. At this time, Firebeard's attitude had changed a hundred and eighty degrees, and he said, "This sword is enough to prove that you are a regular customer of our weapons shop, tell me about your so-called business." ”

Yi Hui took out a piece of magnetite produced by the bolt mining area from the space ornament and put it on the counter, and smiled without saying a word to see the reaction of the fire whiskers.

"Well, good quality iron ore." Firebeard frowned and said, "It's just iron ore, what do you mean?" ”

Yi Hui pointed to the iron ore on the table and said, "Do you accept such iron ore in your weapon store?" ”

Firebeard said, "You can collect it, but if the quantity is too small, it doesn't make much sense, how much can you provide?" ”

Yi Hui drew a zigzag arc on the counter with his hand and said, "I have found a whole vein of magnetite, and there are enough miners, and the daily output is about ...... About a hundred tons. ”

"A hundred tons of production? Thousands of skilled dwarven miners can't mine so much ore, how many miners can you have to reach that level? Those lazy human miners? Firebeard was deeply suspicious of this, if in terms of mining, if even the hardworking dwarven miners couldn't do it, how could he trust Yi Hui in front of him to do it? He said, "To tell you the truth, our dwarven weapons and equipment shops and other forging industries are all connected to the dwarven mines, and I haven't heard of a new magnetite...... And the quality is pretty good. ”

The dwarven mining area and the forging are one, the dwarves' short stature and strong body make them the best miners, a dwarf family in the mining of metal ore at the same time will generally open a forging shop to sell forging products to increase the value of the ore to earn more gold coins, in the past hundred years, the major dwarf families have exchanged information through the forging industry guild to achieve ore exchange, so the suspicion of the fire beard is also very reasonable.

"You don't have to think much about this, if I can guarantee a large and stable supply of ore, will you buy it?" Yi Hui said, "You can understand that I have enough miners. Hehe, at the end of the day, all you need is ore, just like you don't have to care if the meat was cut from the cow, do you? ”

When Huosu heard this, he also reasoned, and he said, "Indeed, if there is more ore, I will be able to produce more equipment, and if you can provide it stably, I will take it." ”

"So, how about we talk about the price?" Yi Hui said, "I have a batch of ore on hand, can you collect it?" ”

"In terms of price, if it is all the quality of that sample, 100 gold coins per ton should not be a problem. It just so happens that I'm also a little short of ore here. Firebeard said.

Yi Hui heard that the price was quite appropriate, and he didn't have to negotiate the price, after all, it was recognized that the dwarves were doing business. He said, "Well, what about taking me to your storeroom?" If you take it out here, you'll have to worry about finding someone to move in. ”

Firebeard agreed, and he asked a blacksmith to take Yi Hui to the ore warehouse in the backyard of the "Round-headed Forging Hammer". Coming to the warehouse, Yi Hui stood on a pile of ore, holding the space ornament high, and under the control of his mind, piles of magnetite ore rolled out of the ornament.

Firebeard was busy trading with customers who came to buy equipment in front, and the dwarven blacksmith apprentice who had just taken Yi Hui to the warehouse ran out in a hurry, and he said to Firebeard: "Master, the ore has been put into storage......

Firebeard received the money at the counter, sent the client away, turned to his apprentice and said, "Oh, I see, how many?" ”

The apprentice held out five fingers.

"Five hundred tons?" Firebeard said disappreciatively, "It's still too little, you go and give him some money, and ask him to bring more next time." After all, the ore is of good quality and can be used to make Dwarven Steel. ”

"Master, it's five thousand tons of ......," the apprentice who was not good at words whispered.

"Five thousand tons!" Firebeard jumped out from behind the counter, "Oh my God, then I'll have to give him 500,000 gold coins at a time!" Where did this guy get so much ore! Damn, don't empty my shop! Where did I get so much liquidity at once. ”

At this time, Yi Hui came out of the backyard after delivering the ore, to be honest, if it wasn't for the limited space, Yi Hui would have planned to load some more ore out.

"This, I say, Yi Hui." Firebeard was already a little stumbling when he spoke, "I can only pay you a maximum of 300,000 gold coins at present, if it is more, it will affect the turnover of our store, and I will contact other dwarf shops for the rest of the ore, and I will make up the balance for you after a while, do you think this will work?" ”

Yi Hui nodded and said, "Yes, what you said is still very reputable, Boss Huoshu, and I believe you." In addition, I have a plan, I will give you 40% of the remaining 2,000 tons of iron ore as a remuneration, and the remaining 60% can you build a batch of mechanical parts according to the drawings. The structure is not very complicated, it is enough to be strong enough. This way, you don't have to worry about turnaround. ”

In fact, this is the real purpose of Yi Hui, instead of exchanging these excess iron ore into gold coins, it is better to turn it into a production tool to speed up the output of ore. After all, gnomes are only skilled in making machinery, and dwarves are still good at smelting and forging ores, and only dwarves with infinite strength can improve the strength of their metal by forging them thoroughly and repeatedly before they cool down.

When Huosu heard this, he felt that it was a good deal, after all, he had earned more than 800 tons of ore by crafting some simple tools. After paying the ore purchase funds of 300,000 gold coins, Huoxu signed this supplementary forging order with Yi Hui, and the two high-fived the transaction was completed.
