***********
Because it was cash on delivery, the Blackwater settlement didn't even have the last concerns.
At this time, the cost of transportation is very high, and it is very risky. Door-to-door delivery plus cash on delivery, the steel castle has shown such great sincerity, then there is no choice!
What's more, later on, there are more commodities that can be traded in the Steel Castle, such as diesel gasoline, meat, vegetables, daily chemicals, copper, iron, etc., so many that the representatives of the Blackwater Settlement are smacked!
Especially the zombie virus healing potion, in this regard, the elixir they developed themselves requires 5 pieces of spirit flesh per piece, while the potion in the Iron Castle is only sold for 4 pieces of spirit meat. It's 20% cheaper.
What the? Don't have that much food? It doesn't matter, you can use spirit flesh. There is no shortage of this thing in the Blackwater Settlement.
As a result, the Blackwater Settlement naturally turned to buying saltpeter from the Iron Castle, and other products by the way.
For a day or two, the people in the Heishui settlement did not come to Tiancheng to buy saltpeter, Wang Qiang and the others only thought that the saltpeter purchased by Heishui City some time ago had not been digested.
But four or five days have passed, and there are still no people from the Heishui settlement to buy saltpeter, so Wang Qiang and others are in a hurry. So he hurriedly sent someone to investigate. Only then did it become known that the Iron Castle was selling saltpeter to Blackwater City at a lower price.
Hearing the report, Wang Qiang was so angry that he smashed his cup: "Damn! Their men in the Iron Keep are too much! This is clearly going to cut off our financial route! And where did they get so much saltpeter! ”
"Report to the city lord, they seem to have got it from Xinjiang Province."
"What! They go to Xinjiang Province? So far, how did they get there! ”
"It's the train! The Iron Fort has an armored train with strong firepower and can drive all the way to Xinjiang Province! It is said that they brought back hundreds of tons of saltpeter from Xinjiang Province this time. ”
The fact that the Self-Salvation Army went to Xinjiang Province to find saltpeter was not a secret in the Iron Fort, so the secret agents of Amagi knew about it as soon as they inquired. But what's the use of knowing! Can they still prevent the Self-Salvation Army from going to Xinjiang Province?
"City Lord, what now? Our saltpeter is no longer sellable! ”
Wang Qiang gritted his teeth: "Sell at a reduced price!" Didn't they exchange 10 catties of rice flour for 1 kilogram of saltpeter? We only need 9 pounds! ”
Wang Qiang had thought that in this way, the Blackwater Settlement would turn back to buying saltpeter from them.
But he soon realized he was wrong. The Blackwater Colony was simply indifferent to their price reduction. Why?
First, the saltpeter in the Iron Castle is delivered to the door, and diesel fuel is also very expensive these days! When the Steel Castle is delivered to their door, they save money on fuel for the transport convoy and the convoy escort. At the same time, it also saves manpower.
Second, the Iron Castle is massive. In the past, they bought up to 4 tons of saltpeter per day from Amagi, which was the largest production volume of Amagi. And their defense line around the city had a total of 5 kilometers, and there were enough troops of seven or eight thousand men. After refining such a little saltpeter and making it into gunpowder, it was barely enough for the troops to use for a day.
On the side of the Steel Castle, even if the Blackwater Settlement wants to order 10 tons of saltpeter at a time, it can be taken out very simply. That's a big difference.
Therefore, the Blackwater Settlement still can't make more trouble to go to Tiancheng to buy saltpeter.
This is a big deal for Wang Qiang.
"City Lord, the sale of saltpeter has been stopped for 7 days! Although we still have a lot of food in stock, we can't just sit back and eat nothing. Gotta figure it out! One of Wang Qiang's assistants said anxiously.
Another person replied: "Yes, because of the good treatment in the recent past, the population of our Heavenly City has also risen, and it is almost close to 5,000 people. With so many mouths, only in and out, no amount of food is enough! ”
"Then reduce the price again, 8 catties of grain for 1 kg of saltpeter! Send someone to talk to them tomorrow! I don't believe that they won't come to us to buy it. ”
However, what Wang Qiang didn't know was that at this time, their conversation had fallen into the ears of the intelligence officers of the Military Intelligence Bureau of the Self-Rescue Army. They had already installed bugs in Wang Qiang's office, conference room, and even bedroom.
As a result, the staff of the office of the Steel Castle in the Blackwater Settlement quickly found the head of the logistics department in charge of procurement in the Blackwater Settlement.
"Xiao Song, what are you looking for me? It can't be that there is a problem with the shipment we ordered today, right? ”
Seeing the liaison officer of the Blackwater Office of the Iron Castle who came to the door for no reason, the director of the logistics office of the Blackwater Settlement, surnamed Liu, was nervous. I am afraid that the goods they ordered will not be delivered, or that the price of the steel castle will be raised.
During this time, they were able to purchase a lot of things from the Iron Castle. In this apocalyptic period when resources are tight, most of the resources are used a little less, and the price increase may happen at any time. In fact, the Blackwater Settlement has been prepared for this, but it is still hoped that things will come later.
However, the liaison officer of the Iron Castle said with a smile: "No, Director Liu, I am looking for you this time, in view of the relatively large and stable amount of materials purchased by your Blackwater Settlement recently, in order to support your development, we have decided to reduce the prices of some commodities, including saltpeter, copper, steel and coal, from tomorrow." ”
"Oh...... What? You're going to cut the price! I heard you right! ”
Director Liu was stunned, and at first thought it was going to increase the price, so he said "oh", but he came back to his senses! But I didn't expect the Steel Castle to take the initiative to reduce the price! And such a good thing!
"Yes, you mishear it every day, it's been decided by the top brass of our Steel Castle after deliberation."
Director Liu smiled on his face: "You can reduce the price, then thank you so much!" So how much will the price drop this time? ”
"The price of saltpeter has dropped by two percent, and each kilogram of saltpeter has dropped from the original 10 catties of grain to 8 catties, or the corresponding value of spiritual meat. The prices of steel, copper and coal fell by 1%. The prices of diesel gasoline, meat, elixirs, virus treatment agents, and other products remain unchanged for the time being. ”
In fact, it is said that the price of diesel gasoline in the Steel Castle can also be reduced, but they used to sell it according to the price of the oil city. If the price is reduced, I am afraid that it will touch the use of the oil city, and Chen Yuan does not want to conflict with the oil city for the time being.
Hearing this answer, Director Liu immediately took a breath of cold air and stood up excitedly. Because saltpeter, steel, copper, and coal are the main products that the Blackwater settlement buys from the Steel Castle. The number of transactions is very large, and each one will be 1 percent, which is already a big concession, not to mention that saltpeter will still be 2 percent.
So Director Liu immediately walked out of his desk, shook hands warmly with the clerk of the Iron Castle, and thanked: "Oh, your support for us this time is really great!" On behalf of the people of our all-Blackwater settlement, I thank you! ”
