CH.80 Big Business
"Two thousand gold coins?" Cheryl's thin eyebrows furrowed, and her pupils tightened. Obviously, even for a wealthy merchant like her, two thousand gold coins was by no means a small amount.
"I think that's exactly what you're talking about as the 'right' price." An Rui shrugged his shoulders and smiled. He really thinks that this price is very suitable, this transaction price can make Cheryl profit a lot, and if you calculate it carefully, he is a bit of a loss.
"I don't think it's a 'right' price. If I'm not mistaken, you must have just discovered the vein not long ago, and there hasn't been a major excavation, just a small excavation, right? ”
"That's right, it's only a small excavation." Anrui admits that he is in fact the only one in charge of mining.
"Do you own the land rights to that vein?" Cheryl asked further, her sapphire pupils glinting with wisdom.
"No, I mined it privately, and I didn't say hello to the local officials."
"That is to say, you don't have a lot of capital investment, and you don't have the legal ownership of that vein, just the location of the vein in Zhilu Dao, but you are asking me for 2,000 gold coins?"
"Yes."
"It's called an empty glove white wolf."
"No, it's called giving favors." An Rui shook his head slightly and corrected, "I'm delivering a large sum of gold coins to you. Buying this vein can make you a lot of money. You probably know best about my ability to find veins, and I'm an expert at it. I said it was a big vein, so it must be a big vein. ”
Cheryl fell silent, she did have a certain trust in An Rui, people will tell lies, but the golden gold will not tell lies. She still remembers the last time An Rui helped her find the gold vein. But the problem is that the price of buying a vein location for two thousand gold coins is a bit too great, and it really makes her a little embarrassed.
When faced with this kind of problem, businessmen can only balance it in their hearts and repeatedly weigh the gains and losses at both ends.
"The price of two thousand gold coins is too high, and fifteen hundred gold coins are about the same." After a long while, Cheryl broke the silence and spoke eloquently.
Cheryl would bargain to prove that she was really interested in this vein, which made Anrui even more fearless.
"I'm sorry, it's a fixed price. And I repeat again, I'm really giving you a favor, and you won't regret buying this vein. An Rui spread his hands. The other party is indeed kind to him, but kindness is also weighty, and he can't let him send the priceless vein with both hands because of this. Collecting a certain amount of gold coins and then selling the vein to Cheryl is already very generous.
"Fixed price?" Cheryl bit her rosy lip, her thin eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she glanced at An Rui hatefully. But her appearance is not only deterrent, but charming and moving.
An Rui turned his head sideways, deliberately not looking at Cheryl, lest the beauty trick.
"Okay. A fixed price is a fixed price, for the sake of your ability to find ore veins, I believe you once. However, I can't give you all the money at once, I can only pay you three hundred gold coins as a deposit at first, and then pay you the rest of the money after I have visited the vein. In the end, Cheryl still couldn't withstand the ** of a deep-sea refined iron ore vein, and chose to compromise in disguise.
This kind of installment payment is also reasonable, after all, the relationship between An Rui and Cheryl is not close to that extent, and the two thousand gold coins are not a small amount, and it is impossible to pay them all at once.
"Okay, that's it, we'll write the contract now." An Rui agreed.
There was a ready-made pen and paper on the table in the room, and Cheryl took out a blank piece of paper, took a pen and wrote down two contracts, and handed them to An Rui to read. She has been in business for many years and is a veteran in this area, and the contracts she writes are concise, reasonable, and there are no problems.
An Rui briefly read the contract, and after confirming that it was correct, he signed his name on it and pressed a handprint.
After the two parties signed the contract, Cheryl took out a bottle of low-alcohol whiskey from the cabinet in the room and poured a glass for herself and Anrui.
"My old habit of drinking every time I negotiate a big deal with someone." As she spoke, Cheryl handed the glass to her business partner.
Anrui took the glass and shook it three times, letting the aroma of wine get into his nostrils. Holding this glass of wine in his hand, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion. When he first came here, he was a poor boy with only a dozen silver coins in his pocket. Now he can make a "big business" of two thousand gold coins. It feels good that his life is moving towards a new level step by step, in the direction of goodness.
"Cheers." Anrui raised his glass and touched it lightly with the glass in Cheryl's hand, and a crisp sound resounded throughout the room.
This business has been negotiated, Cheryl is a resolute businesswoman, and since she has decided to do this business with Anrui, she will never procrastinate any longer. On the same day, she handed over 600 gold coins to An Rui, of which 300 gold coins were used to buy the current deep-sea refined iron, and the rest was a deposit.
Six hundred gold coins is quite a lot for An Rui, and it can do a lot of things. It can be used to buy a new ship, or to buy cargo and hire crew and sailors. He now just had a good ship and nothing else, just enough to use the money to prepare all the preparations before going to sea.
After receiving the money, the first thing An Rui did was to divide the ten gold coins and give them to Berego, so that the money could be used to settle the families of the shipwrecked adventurers.
Previously, Berego had planned to exchange the Weasel King's fur for money, and then give it to the families of several victims as a settlement fee. However, things later turned awry, and Brent did not pay him a single copper coin, so he has not been able to pay the families of the victims.
An Rui knew that this matter had been bothering Berego, so after having the money, he directly helped Berego solve this matter. Ten gold coins was nothing to him, but it could help Berego solve his urgent needs. He knew that his small efforts would definitely be able to get greater rewards in the future.
A stingy captain will never have a loyal crew, and sometimes he has to be generous.
The truth was indeed as Anrui expected, and after Berego got the money, he was very grateful.
For the rest of the money, An Rui didn't spend it indiscriminately, and after giving Sha Fei some as a commission, he saved it all. He's going to be busy with the ore veins next, and it's not time to use the money yet.
At Cheryl's urging, An Rui led her and a group of men and horses the next day to the place where the deep-sea refined iron ore vein was located.
When they arrived, a problem was in front of them, Anrui was able to go into the water, what would the others do?
Under the puzzled gaze of everyone, Cheryl came up with a solution, took out a bottle of "magic potion" from her body, or magic potion, and poured it into her mouth. The potion she drank was called "Underwater Breathing Potion", and the effect was exactly the same as the name of the drug, and she could breathe underwater after drinking it.
This method of breathing underwater is quite convenient, even more convenient than Anrui's method, but it is a little more expensive, and the price of potions is very expensive.
In fact, An Rui originally planned to use the skills of the Ice Tide Dragon to help Cheryl go into the water together, but when he saw that others had their own methods, he didn't have nothing to do.
"I'm ready, what about you?" Cheryl asked, moving her supple limbs a few times, turning her head sideways. In order to facilitate the water, she wore a very short and concise set of clothes at this time, the upper body was a tight camisole with lace lace, the lower body was wearing a pair of shorts, and her limbs were all exposed to the air.
"I'm ready to go into the water at any time." Anrui looked directly at Cheryl and smiled.
"What method do you use to dive?"
"You'll find out later." An Rui did not answer directly, but jumped headlong into the sea, piercing a blue and white wave on the surface of the sea.
Cheryl looked a little curious, and jumped into the sea.
An Rui plunged headlong into the bottom of the sea, and instead of floating, he summoned the Ice Dragon directly at the bottom of the sea, and let the Ice Dragon impose a blister guardian on himself. Cheryl then dived to the bottom of the ocean and approached him with a graceful swim.
After seeing the Ice Tide Dragon and the huge blister covering An Rui's head, Cheryl was stunned for a moment, then thought of something, and said in a lost voice: "You are a dragon warrior!" With the help of underwater breathing agents, her voice came out unhindered, and it reached Anrui's ears through the seawater.
"I'm a wizard, I'm so well-informed, I recognize my profession at once." Anrui admitted with a smile, then pointed down, "Let's go down together." I remember there was a big piece of deep-sea iron right down here. ”
Cheryl nodded, suppressed the surprise that had surged into her heart before, and dived into the deep sea with An Rui.
When An Rui was looking for deep-sea refined iron before, he had seen a few extra-large pieces, but because he was disgusted with the trouble, he didn't dig them and still stayed in the rock wall. Now it is time to use these large pieces of ore to prove the existence of veins here.
Under the light of the glowing stone, after some searching, Anrui successfully found a large piece of ore and pointed it out to Cheryl to see.
Cheryl looked at the blue ore, a wonderful expression appeared on her face, and her eyes showed two strange colors. She exudes this expression whenever she sees a huge benefit.
This is only the first ore, and An Rui then took Cheryl to see the second, third, and even fourth ores, each of which is bigger than the other, and if you start digging, I don't know how long it will take to dig it out.
The look of surprise on Cheryl's face gradually piled up, her beautiful eyes widened, and the corners of her lips showed an upturned arc.
"How's it going, how does it feel to see these ores?" An Rui asked casually as he played with the glowing stone in his hand.
"It's going to be a very profitable deal." Cheryl sighed.
"Now you believe that those two thousand gold coins are worth the money, right?"
"Well, when I go back, I will give you all the rest of the money, and I will never owe a single gold coin."
"I love to hear that."
"Anrui," Cheryl's tone suddenly became more serious, "you also found this vein with your own hands, right?" ”
"Of course." Ann Rui said.
"With this kind of ability, you will definitely make a fortune in the future." There was a slight sourness in Cheryl's tone, and there was a hint of envy in her eyes. She can foresee that in the near future, An Rui will definitely make a fortune with this ability, and the family property may even surpass her!
