Chapter 205 Trade Negotiations

"Indeed, as you know, Riverrun's edicts have drawn the resentment of those involved in the slave trade, and some radicals have rallied together to endanger the increasingly prosperous territory. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Lu Bin didn't hide his situation in the slightest, and honestly told the underground dwarf master what he knew, and the relatively secret parts, including the bet on his own victory in the Ash Gamble, and the high-level undead assassins he secretly sent earlier, he didn't need to mention it to others.

"Is there anything I can do to help?" said Grim Belen, sipping on the mellow milk tea and quickly falling in love with the delightful hot drink.

Lu Bin shook his head slightly, "I'm very grateful if you can provide us with the blueprints to help us build a large illusion circle for use in war, and Rushing City will also thank you for your kindness." If I make more demands, will I not become a degenerate whose greedy heart will never be satisfied?"

Grim Belen thought for a moment and nodded silently: "This time I was invited to come to Riverrun, and when I passed by Ironforge Castle, I found that the mountain dwarves were busy with their feet on the ground, and it is said that they had received a lot of orders. I guess it's your stockpiles for a possible war, and I wonder if we in Svernebri will be able to share some of the orders. ”

Lu Bin chuckled in his heart, knowing that the conversation had finally gotten to the point, so he didn't answer, but picked up the cup and let the heat of the milk tea blur his face.

When the time came for patience in the competition, Grim Belen was quite calm, the two secretly competed without winning or losing, and Lu Bin couldn't pick up the teacup and not put it down, so he nodded slightly: "According to our calculations, Ironforge can eat all the orders, and Hardin Copperbeard and other elders have also expressed their willingness to accept the coins we minted and use them to buy various daily necessities." The distance between Svernebury and Riverrun, to be honest, is a little far, and the freight is very bad, unless it is ......"

Grim Belen hurriedly asked: "Unless! Unless what?" Dear Lord Rez, we not only own Svernebry, but also New Breton Rock City, both iron ore reserves and skilled craftsmen are more than Iron Forge, and in terms of quality, the Seven Cities Alliance can be guaranteed by previous wars, what are you worried about?"

"There are many things to worry about! The Dark Regions are not peaceful and peaceful places, and the threat of the Dark Elves is always roaming around the Seven Cities Alliance. Truth be told, there are so many things to discuss about such a large-scale arms trade, especially in terms of valuation, the production of Ironforge is almost the cost price, and the mountain dwarves are very friends and willing to accept our coins. ”

The underground dwarf master suddenly couldn't sit still, and the advantages and disadvantages of Svernebri City were also obvious, and if you want to bite off a piece of fat in the lucrative arms trade, I am afraid that it will not be possible to do it without some blood.

"Your Excellency, we are all well aware of the fate of the loss of precious metals due to the fact that maple sugar, spices, and leather products that have recently entered the dark region are very popular, but we have not exported the goods that we have sold to the outside world, so we hope that for the sake of the battlefield friendship forged by blood and fire in the past, Your Excellency, you can allow us to help in the arms trade to the best of our ability, at least to maintain the balance of trade. ”

Seeing the thoughtful expression of the "Lord" Rez, Grim Belen hurriedly added: "Of course, the city of Svernebri is willing to accept the coins you minted, and hope that the money can be used to buy ground goods. ”

Lu Bin's heart sank: "The lower-class ordinary people in the dark region can be fooled casually, none of these powerful upper-class elites are stupid, shrewdly terrifying, all of them are cunning foxes, so quickly master currency swaps, exempt from the invisible harvest of paying seigniorage, and learn the land really fast enough." ”

"Well, I'll show you the prices of the various commodities in Ironforge so that you can get an idea. ”

Lu Bin put his hand into his arms, took out a piece of parchment paper that had been folded several times, put it on the table, and gently pushed it over.

Grim Belen quietly accepted it, unfolded it, and hurriedly skimmed through it, and his extraordinary memory instantly memorized the price on it, and then folded it back to the original crease, and pushed it back to the kind "Lord Rez".

Lu Bin saw the underground dwarf master close his eyes, and it was estimated that he was now calculating, or discussing with the members of the Master Joint Council in Swelnebri City through a psychic link.

After a long time, the milk tea in the ceramic cup was exhausted, and the housekeeper covered his mouth and yawned, and Grim Belen opened his eyes.

"Your Excellency, our price of standard-sized plate armor is one percent lower than that of the dwarf, and the chain mail can be reduced by three percent due to process improvements. ”

Lu Bin quietly put down the empty cup, and the house guard spirit immediately snapped his fingers when he saw it, and the bright golden sparks bloomed instantly, and the milk tea that had been bottomed out quickly rose at a speed visible to the eye.

Although Grim Belen was a little surprised, his mind was all on "Lord Rez", staring at Lu Bin's mouth with blazing eyes, expecting to hear the good news.

"I'm very sorry! This quotation has not had time to be revised, and the Alpine Dwarves of Ironforge have already delivered all the goods for the standard-sized plate and chain mail. ”

After speaking, Lu Bin directly spread out the parchment paper and gently swiped over the first two entries with a charcoal pen, each stroke made Grim Belen tremble.

The underground dwarf master's heart couldn't help but sigh with a sigh, "The two most abundant commodities of oil and water are gone!"

"Three-layer duplex heavy shield, we are willing to eat the rest of the order at a price of 20% lower. Arm shields, helmets, foot armor, iron gloves, the price of these goods is negotiable. ”

Lu Bin didn't seem to hear Grim Belen's words, "These are a limited number of knights' equipment, I must say sorry, Ironforge has eaten all this part of the order and has already delivered." ”

The underground dwarf master's heart ached again, and he saw that the charcoal pen was picked up by "Lord Rez", and on the parchment, the commodity entries were crossed out again and again, and with each gray and black trace, there would be an extra wrinkle on his forehead.

Lu Bin has successfully grasped the initiative in the negotiation, after all, there are not many remaining commodities, when Grim Belen saw the entry of the arrow, he immediately reached out and pressed it on it: "Your Excellency, why don't we talk about the number of arrows used in a war of annihilation." ”

A relaxed smile appeared on the face of the underground dwarf master, as if he had already grasped something, which made Lu Bin feel very strange: "There are nearly three hundred half-elf marksmen in Riverrun, and each one has fifty quivers as standard, and about fifteen standard-sized arrows are needed, which is enough to support a battle of annihilation. Cleaning the battlefield can recover a part, about seventy percent. Not to mention Ironforge, even our Riverrun City is enough to deal with it. ”

"Your Excellency, you can't fool us, the anti-abolitionist group is not a person who admits defeat and surrenders after fighting a battle for the sake of profit, and they will swear to uproot Riverrun...... I'm sorry, please forgive me for being straightforward. From the very beginning, we in Svernebry have aimed at small crossbows and matching crossbows, and unfortunately there are no ones on this parchment, don't you think it's strange?"

Lu Bin couldn't help but sit up straight and take a deep breath, and then sighed lightly: "The lethality of crossbow arrows to knights can make a farmer who has been trained for a few days kill knights who have spent a lot of money to cultivate, which has always been a prohibited item, and it can be used unscrupulously in dark areas, but it ...... on the ground."

Grim Belen looked with a look of disdain that you don't want to deceive children: "Your Excellency, Riverrun is about to be destroyed, what are you worried about? If you dare to invade this free land where there are no slaves and no slaves, those despicable villains should be dealt with with crossbow arrows, and I believe that even the lords of the Great Council of the North will acquiesce to your conditional use of these forbidden items." ”

Lu Bin shook his head: "You are just your one-sided words, it is a little natural to think about it, it is we who are under the pressure of public opinion, we are in Rushing City, and you who stay in the dark region are waiting to count the money, I also think about such a good thing." ”

Grim Belen was tired of meaningless bargaining, so he suddenly turned his heart on his mind and took the initiative to reveal his hole cards: "Your Excellency, we are willing to provide you with 200 standard crossbows at cost price, 10,000 crossbows for free, ten bed crossbows, and 50 armor-piercing arrows specially designed to deal with large war monsters, what do you think?"

Lu Bin knew that this was the other party's bottom line, and nodded with satisfaction at the moment: "Since Your Excellency Grim has shown sincerity, I will reluctantly accept it, but now the finances of Riverflowing City are a little difficult, and the coins minted are spent like water, can you owe it first." ”

The underground dwarf master was originally a little worried, but when he heard that "Lord Reze" was willing to incur debts, he immediately remembered the other party's good credit, "Yes, you are the hero who presided over the revival of New Breton Rock City, and hundreds of thousands of debts can be paid off, let alone this small amount of money." ”

Having said that, both sides showed their sincerity, so that this off-market "secret deal" was quickly reached. Regarding the transfer of this batch of crossbow arrows, Lu Bin casually agreed: "I have coordinates in New Bretton Rock City, plus the half-plane I own, and the teleportation technique can be moved back and forth." ”
