Chapter 498: The Deal Is Done
"Hello, Mr. Semeen, Charles has spoken to me about your thoughts. I have to say, you are indeed a businessman with a keen sense of smell. In Li Mo's living room, he received the head of the Clover Merchant Regiment.
"Twilight Hills has become a human domain, my God, and that's really big news. The first moment he saw Li Mo, what caught Semin's mind was actually this idea.
However, no matter how shocked he was, he still remembered the purpose of his visit. So, Seminon suppressed the shock in his heart and greeted Li Mo: "I'm glad to hear you say this, does this mean that Mr. John has agreed to my request and is ready to sell us the floor tiles?"
"Of course, why not?" Li Mo looked at Seminon in front of him, and felt extremely admired in his heart for the business intuition of this business leader.
The current Thor Merchant Group has already set off with a full load of goods, and even if the Thor Merchant Group is still there, Li Mo is not ready to let them carry floor tiles as goods.
Perhaps the current floor tiles do have high profits, but compared to other equipment, they are too heavy, sinking to the point that it prevents the merchant group from loading other goods.
Moreover, if he can sell the floor tiles to Semin, Li Mo still doesn't mind making a profit. It would be a better harvest if other merchants could discover that Twilight Hills is a place full of business opportunities.
"So, I don't know the price..."Semeen's happy face bloomed when he heard Li Mo's words, and then, he rubbed his hands and asked a little embarrassed.
"I don't know, what kind of price does Mr. Semien want?" Li Mo was still smiling, as if it was all Semien in charge.
However, as soon as Li Mo's question came out, Seminen was a little embarrassed.
If the price you give is too low, then Twilight Hills can just turn around and stop trading. If the price is too high, then the cost of your own is too high.
Thinking of this, Semien hesitated a little, but thinking of the high profits that he could bring by bringing the floor tiles to other cities, and even to the Human Alliance, finally, Semien strengthened his idea.
"Mr. John, 10 gold coins, I can get up to 10 gold coins a piece, if it is higher, I can't afford it. Seminen gritted his teeth and finally gave such a price.
10 gold coins, Li Mo silently recited this number once in his heart, and then stretched out his hand to Semin: "Deal." ”
Even for the price of 10 gold coins, Li Mo is already making a lot of money, after all, now Twilight Hills does not need any cost at all to produce such floor tiles except for labor costs.
At this time, there is no such thing as a market economy in Twilight Hills, and everything is still under the unified jurisdiction of Twilight Hills. After all, most of the things here are self-sufficient, and those that are not self-sufficient will be taken care of by Twilight Hills.
Overall, Twilight Hills is too small to support the environment needed for a full business circle.
This phenomenon is not only in the Twilight Hills, but also in almost all small tribes. Here, money doesn't make much sense.
However, at this time, Li Mo had also taken this aspect into account. If Twilight Hills grows in size in the future, then I can't still rely on this primitive way of bartering.
It's just that this is still an idea at present, and the specifics will have to wait until later.
In the afternoon, Semeen left with 200 floor tiles that had been urgently prepared. At the same time, there was a bag containing 2,000 gold coins.
This business is dispensable for Li Mo. It's just a supplement that's not too little. As for the most important part, it will not be replenished until the Thor merchant group returns.
However, Li Mo doesn't care, but it doesn't mean that Semien doesn't care. As for the floor tiles, at the first sight, he had already determined that this would be a commodity that caused people to go crazy when he was engaged in the daily necessities trade on the barren plains all year round.
However, such things are no longer something that ordinary tribes can consume. So, after leaving Twilight Hills, Seminon handed over the rest of the cargo to one of his lieutenants, and told him to continue along the trade route below, while himself, with all the wagons loaded with tiles, headed straight to the eastern part of the barren plains.
Most of the people in the barren plains are poor, and their purchasing power can only afford to buy items that use silver coins as settlement currency.
But even on the barren plains, there are people who have enough wealth to enjoy a life of luxury.
Naturally, the rulers of the big eastern cities could have become such buyers.
In particular, living in the eastern part of the plain close to the Human Alliance all year round, the extravagant wind of human nobility will also slowly spread into this plain.
Semien took his caravan and first came to the nearest city to him on the barren plains: Mackense.
When Semien arrived, Mackenser City remained the same. The streets were bustling with people, and the guards were still diligently doing their duty on the streets.
However, what has changed is that at this time, Elken, the son of the city lord who was supposed to be rampaging through the streets of Mackenser City, has disappeared.
During the lunch break, Semien inadvertently asked the shopkeeper about Elken. Seeing this eldest young master, Semeen felt a little uneasy.
"Last year, Mackenseer City had a big guy. We don't know exactly what happened, but after that day, there was one less flying gentleman Erken and one more one-armed ascetic on the barren plains. He spreads the power of goodness in this wasteland. ”
The shopkeeper's face looked a little blurry and looming by the heat rising from the kettle, as if a voice from another had stunned Semeen.
"I can't see that this shopkeeper still has the talent to be a bard, and it is really a waste to open a hotel. The thought turned in Semin's mind, but there was no disgust on his face, and after thanking the innkeeper, he returned to his table.
Did Elken really wake up and change his face? It didn't matter to Semien, as long as he was sure that Elken wouldn't come to cause trouble, that was enough.
Because the first client Seminon described was the lord's mansion in Mackenser City.
