"How about 10,000 catties of steel for those dozens of crystal balls?"

"10,000 catties of steel is worth a crystal ball!"

"I ......" After listening to the words of those orc nobles, Zhou Tian almost didn't scold N. Although he had been mentally prepared to lose money as early as the beginning, no matter what, using more expensive steel bars to offset the crystal balls that were not very valuable, even if this kind of move was necessary, Zhou Tian's heart was still somewhat resistant.

Finally persuaded himself to decide to hemorrhage to buy some steel bars to finish the transaction, but he didn't expect the other party to open his mouth and increase the trading volume of steel by 20 times.

It's a P!

Zhou Tian was already reluctant to even have the 10,000 catties of steel bars, and in this case, now he directly asked him to bleed dozens of times, and Zhou Tian was definitely not happy in the face of this situation. Even according to the situation at that time, Zhou Tian already had the idea of simply settling it with a crystal ball.

It's no wonder that Zhou Tian has that kind of change, after all, there is too much gap between the conditions offered by the other party and the bottom line in his heart, and in the Wanjie Supermarket, the price difference between the two commodities is also so big that Zhou Tian is a little unbearable.

How much is a crystal ball? The price of a hundred catties of steel bars exceeds it, that is to say, if Zhou Tian trades according to the other party's requirements, then he will have to pay hundreds of times more CSB in exchange for the 200,000 orcs. Although selling too many crystal balls may lead to serious consequences, the expenditure of up to 100 times is something that Zhou Tian does not want to bear. In that case, it was not surprising that Zhou Tian changed his original decision because of this.

As a result, when the price of the two sides was completely unequal at that time, Zhou Tian refused directly without thinking about it: "Impossible, at most 10,000 catties of steel, I am a good steel, not the kind of scrap iron you usually see, 10,000 catties is already my bottom line, and it is impossible to add more." ”

"You should know the role of the crystal ball, although 10,000 catties of steel is worth a lot, it is impossible to match the effect of those crystal balls. Therefore, we agreed that the steel reached the crystal ball, but 10,000 catties was too little, and according to that steel, it was not enough for us to arm a small team of heavy infantry. ”

"Why don't you say that this steel is enough to make tens of thousands of spears!"

"We orcs are not used to that kind of weapon, even if we only build a heavy sword, it is only enough to arm a small squadron, obviously this is not enough to match the value of those twenty crystal balls. ”

"I ......"

Zhou Tian had to admit that what the other party said was really a little reasonable. After all, those orcs at that time needed to consider whether the replacement could be worth the effect of those crystal balls, otherwise if they really exchanged dozens of crystal balls that might be able to exchange for a big victory in exchange for something that didn't have much effect, no one would be willing to do such a deal.

And according to the position of those orcs at that time, in fact, even if they exchanged 20 crystal balls for 200,000 catties of steel, they would have lost. After all, no matter how good the material of steel is, at most it is to arm a legion, and in a battle, the strength of a legion has increased, and it is actually difficult to affect the overall situation. On the other hand, if you exchange twenty crystal balls for twenty dragons to help, it will definitely be better than the combat power of an entire legion.

It's just that although Zhou Tian also admitted that what the other party said was reasonable after listening to the words of those orc nobles at that time, he would definitely be reluctant to let him take so many steel bars.

In this way, in the face of such a situation at that time, Zhou Tian needed to make a choice.

"Why don't you just trade the crystal ball. It's just that kind of thought just came out of his mind, and soon he shook his head at that time and vetoed: "No, let's not talk about what will happen after trading so many crystal balls, that is, I said before that there are not so many crystal balls, and now I suddenly take out enough crystal balls to trade, this precedent is opened, and I am afraid that this business will not be able to continue in the future." ”

The cannon he made about was about to finish on his knees, and since he said that before, he couldn't afford to regret it now. In this way, even if he has already regretted his previous decision now, it is impossible for Zhou Tian to say that he can take out so many crystal balls again.

It is impossible for the crystal ball to be taken out again by Zhou Tian, and the thoughts of those orc nobles will not change much. Under such a circumstance at that time, Zhou Tianzi could only make changes.

"Or, you give me fewer people, I only need 150,000 soldiers, okay?" Anyway, it is to increase the population of his own territory, and it is a bit reluctant for Zhou Tian to eat 200,000 people at a time, in this case, since this transaction is not good to continue, Zhou Tian can only choose to reduce the number of orcs traded.

According to the general transaction, there are not enough chips here on Sunday, so it is normal for the other party to reduce the items traded. But when Zhou Tian did that, the reaction of those orcs was a little abnormal.

"No, 200,000 orc soldiers must all be traded at once. ”

"Then I can't help it, I can't trade with you that much anyway. Although I don't know what those orc nobles think, but according to the situation at that time, Zhou Tian could only choose to die, and according to the situation at that time, the two sides could not reach a consensus on the transaction, and the situation was stalemate.

Zhou Tian already had a plan in his heart, and he had to get his hands on the 200,000 orcs no matter what. It's just that according to the situation at the time, it is impossible for Zhou Tian to change his words, so if he can, he will hope that this negotiation will end up in a tiger's tail. Then, after a while, he will come forward to find a reason to give those orc nobles enough crystal balls, so that the deal will not fail, and Zhou Tian will not have to end up with a reputation for backsliding.

It's just that when Zhou Tian himself had almost given up this negotiation at that time, he didn't expect that there would be a new change on the orc side at that time.

"I'll say a word!" When Zhou Tian was at a stalemate with several orc nobles negotiating, Emperor Bimon, who had not spoken out all the time, suddenly spoke at that time: "No matter what, the orcs of the Thirteenth Legion still belong to the Orc Empire, since the chips of the two sides are not equal in this transaction, then it is better for both sides to take a step back." The soldiers of the 200,000 Thirteenth Legion can be handed over to Baron Zhou Tian, but their status will no longer be slaves but civilians, and Baron Zhou Tian will have to pay 100 carts of salt and 30 crystal balls at the same time, and at the same time give us 10,000 catties of steel every month, how about it?"

"Not very good. "What about Emperor Beamon? For Zhou Tian, he will not make a loss-making deal because of the identity of the other party, the reason why he is willing to make this transaction is because in Zhou Tian's opinion, after getting those 200,000 orc soldiers, they can create enough benefits for themselves in the future. And according to what Emperor Beamon said at that time, this transaction Zhou Tian was not good at all, but it could be said to have become an ATM of the Orc Empire, not to mention that Zhou Tian was not an orc anymore, even if it was an ordinary orc nobleman in the face of such a situation, it is estimated that nine times out of ten they will inevitably resist.

"Bold!"

"It's too presumptuous to dare to talk to the emperor like this. ”

"This kind of person is not worthy of a knighthood at all, and he must be taken and sent to the imperial capital to be punished. ”

“......”

Before Emperor Beamon could speak, a group of orc nobles who had listened to Zhou Tian's words couldn't help but speak up. It doesn't matter if they approve of Beamon the Great's actions or not, and regardless of their private relationship. At least Emperor Bimeng's identity is the ruler of the Orc Empire, and according to his identity, in the case of nothing to do with himself, any orc will inevitably consciously maintain his authority, and Zhou Tian's behavior of completely not giving him face is naturally a 'crime of bullying the king' in the eyes of those orc nobles.

Fortunately, although after listening to Zhou Tian's words at that time, Emperor Bimeng was also a little unhappy. But no matter how unhappy he is, Emperor Bimeng will not really turn his face with Zhou Tian because of his words, not to mention that Zhou Tian still has use value, just to make enemies of Zhou Tian for such a trivial matter, which is quite a worthless thing for Emperor Bimeng.

So no matter what Emperor Beamon thought at that time, anyway, after listening to the words of those orc nobles, he waved his hand quite magnificently and said, "Don't care about a little thing. After speaking, he turned his head and glanced at Zhou Tian, but said again: "Baron Zhou Tian misunderstood what I meant, salt and crystal ball are the reward for us to let 200,000 orcs forcibly relocate to your territory, and we don't want you for 10,000 catties of steel per month, as long as you agree, we can buy it at the market price." ”

As soon as he heard the words of Emperor Beamon, the projections of Zhou Tian and the nearby orc nobles fell silent.

Undoubtedly, Emperor Beamon's words were very beneficial to the Orc Empire, as they traded what they needed, and at the same time avoided Zhou Tian's extra 200,000 combat power. More importantly, with this agreement, the future orc empire will have an additional channel for the acquisition of steel.

For the orc side, in the case that Zhou Tian couldn't get enough crystal balls, it was a good deal for them to trade with Zhou Tian. But according to the kind of deal at that time, Zhou Tian may not agree.
