Chapter 106: Equipment for Ore
Although Li Mo's words only vaguely hinted at the contradiction between Thor's Hammer and the Silver Wolf Mercenary Group, the merchants in the audience all showed knowing smiles on their faces. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info often travels on this route. These people are relatively familiar with the spheres of influence of several nearby cities and their respective business situations.
The Silver Wolf Mercenary Regiment owns the rights to several iron mines in St. Ansta. And there are not too many high-yield iron mines nearby, so almost all the iron ore in this area is flowed out by the Silver Wolf Mercenary Group.
However, Thor's hammer controls the production of equipment near Santa Ansta. Therefore, one of these two mercenary groups controls the upstream products and the other controls the downstream products. Instead of win-win cooperation, they have resolved the contradictions more and more.
In the final analysis, this is due to the character of the leaders of the two mercenary groups. Will is bold and uninhibited. However, they are unwilling to make their own equipment, limited by the monopoly of raw materials. Give up the profits that are your own.
And Kerry of the Silver Wolf Mercenary Group is very greedy. Will just doesn't want his profits to be damaged, but Kerry wants to pocket all the profits. At the beginning, coveting the high profits of Mjolnir, he used his advantage to raise the price of iron ore in an attempt to encroach on the benefits of Mjolnir.
However, when he found out that Will would rather pay for his own labor and increase the risk of buying iron ore from other places than buy high-priced ore from the Silver Wolf Mercenary Group. If you can't make a plan, you will be ready to train your own foundry to build equipment to compete with Thor's hammer.
What happened after that, Li Mo had already heard from Kalu's mouth. His Excellency, the king of the world, whose whereabouts are unknown, has become a joke of Santa Ansta. Moreover, Kerry also lost face because of this incident and was thrown to his grandmother's house. To make matters worse, since then, all other forges have refused to work for the Silver Wolf Mercenary Regiment, which gave birth to the King of the World. Let Kerry's attempt be completely frustrated.
After that, the special trade phenomenon of Santa Ansta was born. Thor's Hammer, a large consumer of iron ore, traveled thousands of miles to buy iron ore from Andrews Province and ship it back to Santa Ansta. The largest private miners in the region transport the ore to other cities, as well as manpower and material resources.
It is said that Kerry once tried to get the ore to the royal foundry in Santa Ansta. It's a pity that the Royal Foundry, which makes equipment for Grand Duke Curtisen's personal guard, will definitely not look down on the ordinary iron ore in Kerry's hands. There, fine iron is the most common consumable.
As for the leader of Curtisen, the Grand Duke of Curtisen, he and his family's equipment were all purchased from the Norist Empire with a lot of money, after all, nominally, the Duchy of Curtison is still a vassal state of Norlister. Although the two countries are now more nominally vassal, they exist as allies after all. So, at this point, the Norist royal family is still happy to fulfill the wishes of Archduke Curtisen.
Since then, Kerry has been quiet until now. However, the contradiction between Thor's hammer and the silver wolf mercenary group has been settled. And, judging from what Vittorio said, Kerry still didn't give up and still tried to destroy Thor's hammer.
Now, of course, Li Mo will not let Kerry's conspiracy succeed. Regardless of the contradictions between the two mercenary groups, just Jack's hatred for Thor's hammer and the two main quests that he still hasn't completed. Kerry's Silver Wolf Mercenary Group, in Li Mo's heart, is already an existence that is about to perish. As long as his strength is enough, then, it is time for him to fulfill Jack's wish.
And now, Li Mo is about to solve the iron ore crisis of Thor's hammer: "So, in order to alleviate the raw material crisis, Thor's hammer chooses to make a deal with you." As for whether you need it or not, it is up to you to choose. ”
"The standard version of the Thor Warrior set costs 170 gold, while the Heavy Warrior version costs 190 gold. As for the other parts, a detailed list will be sent to you later. And our trade is related to your equipment, our Mjolnir wants to use the Thor suit to exchange iron ore with you. ”
Speaking of the issue of picking up the goods, Li Mo also specially explained it to the businessmen present to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings: "Don't worry, whether you choose to buy the Thor suit with iron ore or gold coins." Your equipment will be delivered to you on time, and there will be no priority delivery. ”
After explaining, Li Mo continued the topic just now: "If you choose to use iron ore for delivery, the price we give is that a set of standard equipment is equivalent to 700 iron ore. Of course, if you feel that the volume of iron ore is too large and takes up too much space, you can also choose to use iron ingots to deliver. A set of equipment, equivalent to 450 iron ingots. ”
Hearing Li Mo's words, the brains of the businessmen in the audience began to spin rapidly. In fact, the businessmen present are no strangers to the price of iron ore. Except for Santa Ansta, which has a special reason. Elsewhere, the most expensive iron ore is only 20 silver coins. One gold coin can buy 5 iron ore, and this is still the final price.
Even at this price, the price of a standard piece of equipment can be exchanged for 850 ores. In addition to the cost of the journey, I also have my own earnings. The price of iron ingots is higher than that of iron ore, and 700 iron ores are worth about the same as 450 iron ingots. Although the yield rate of iron ore to make iron ingots is certainly higher than this, there are also labor and production costs.
As a result, most of the merchants present said that they would use iron ore to buy equipment. After all, transporting equipment back to one's city along the trade route also requires a lot of transport vehicles and manpower. Then, it would be a matter of taking iron ore with you on the way here. Once in and out, my profits have increased a lot, so why not?
The mercenary captains, on the other hand, expressed a general interest. First, they don't buy much equipment, and second, they don't have the same amount of profit as businessmen. They all have their own sources of funding, and in addition to relying on escort missions and hunting monsters for profit, they also have their own industries in their home bases.
Merchants rely on the circulation of goods to generate profits, and most of the goods circulated by merchants rely on these mercenary groups to make them. Mercenaries are both customers and suppliers of merchants. This is the general business pattern of the entire Oniseka continent. It has been like this since Ragnarok to the present day.
And Li Mo also expected this situation.
