Chapter 35 Before the Transaction
"Can we talk about the deal now?" Ziggy smiled and rubbed his hands back and forth, betting that the archery was to hold down the unruly werewolf orc boy in momentum. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The werewolf orcs in such a barbarian tribe can only use this method to convince the other party, but the ultimate purpose is to do business with this steppe orc tribe, the means are the means, and the ends are the ends, Ziggy is very clear in his mind.
"What? really want to do business with us?" The werewolf orc boy was surprised, at first he thought that what the mysterious human in front of him said about the transaction was just to coax him, as for what to coax him, he didn't care about it, and shook his vigilance first.
After he became vigilant, he didn't care what he wanted to deceive himself, and he would take precautions first, but he didn't expect this human to mention doing business for the second time, which made him believe it a little.
After all, this human took great pains to catch himself, did not hurt himself at all, and tried archery with himself, maybe it was really for this purpose, what could he do with his own small tribe?
Obviously, now the orc boy of the werewolf orc tribe is no longer so unruly, although the orcs are savage, but at the same time they are the most direct, as long as they are very capable warriors, they are very admired, at this point many barbarian peoples are similar, the tribe needs warriors, the more warriors the tribe will be, the stronger the tribe, and the better the life of the tribesmen in the tribe.
"Of course, I'm here for the peace of humans and orcs!" Ziggy swore an oath, poignified himself as a complete pacifist, when in fact he was just trying to make money to sit on the village chief's chair.
It's quite tragic to think about Zige, when I used to read novels, those pig's feet had a pig's foot halo, which one of them didn't take the territory casually after entering the other world, and there were a lot of followers, and I wasted half of my energy, and there were only eight followers, and even a small village chief couldn't sit firmly in this position, hey...... Why is it so tragic?
"The deal is like this, we use an iron pot to exchange two hundred sheep with your tribe, how about it?" Qi Ge directly said his transaction price, according to his memory, the price of the iron pot of the herdsmen on the grassland that he saw on the Internet before was two hundred sheep in an iron pot.
This should be the price of the iron pot on the grassland during the all-out war between the steppe people and the Central Plains Dynasty.
In times of war, supplies are the most scarce!
Ziggy believes that in a situation where humans and steppe orcs are so powerful, this price should be very reasonable!
Don't look at the number of these two hundred sheep seems to be a lot, there are cattle and sheep everywhere on the grassland, and all the property of a herdsman may be three or four hundred cattle and sheep, but they are willing, the iron pot is not only a necessity for life on the grassland, but also a very expensive daily necessities, but Zig estimates that two hundred sheep is already the highest price.
I just don't know if the iron pot is worth so much money in the minds of the steppe orcs, after all, the two worlds are different, but the price of an iron pot for two hundred sheep is not willing to come down, firstly, this is their own target price, and if it is too expensive for the steppe orcs, you can let them bargain, not all things to buy, unless the orcs will not bargain......
As a result, the orcs really didn't know how to bargain, and when the captured werewolf orc boy heard about this price, he thought about it very seriously, and actually said "um", as if this price was very good for him.
In this way, Ziggy's judgment is correct, and the price of the iron pot on the grassland should be about two hundred sheep.
The law of economy is a law of nature.
And the laws of nature are irresistible to any living being.
For example, I have a bottle of water, and because I'm not thirsty, it's only worth a dollar to me, and you're thirsty at the moment, so you think it's worth two dollars, and maybe even if you're thirsty, you're willing to pay for a bottle of water if it's sold for three dollars.
At this time, I sold this bottle of water to you for a piece of five, for me, I made five cents, and for you who are thirsty, it also means that you made five cents or even a piece of five cents.
It is precisely because both parties to the transaction benefit that both parties will have a strong willingness to trade.
Take the iron pot as an example, for the steppe orcs, an iron pot is worth two hundred sheep, because the grassland is full of cattle and sheep, but the iron pot has neither raw materials nor production, but they have a lot of cattle and sheep.
For humans with advanced iron-smelting technology, it is not so easy to raise a sheep, there is no grassland, forage has to be collected in the mountains, because the place is crowded, and livestock have to be built corrals, and the forage is very insufficient, and a human in the Holy Odin Empire can raise a dozen sheep is basically the top of the sky.
Scarcity resulted in lamb being much more expensive in the interior of the Holy Odin Empire than in the steppes.
A sheep is worth thirty or forty silver coins in human society, while an iron pot is worth only a few dozen copper plates in human society.
"I can't make the decision on this deal, but my sister is going to get married soon, I have always hoped to have an iron pot for her to dowry, so that he will not be bullied after marrying, I need to go back and discuss with my father, but I think my father will agree, on the grassland, an iron pot for two hundred sheep is very reasonable. ā
The werewolf orc boy said very sincerely, and he pouted all his old bottoms, and the orc clan was really a straightforward primitive race, and even said all the reserve price on his side.
But if you think about it, it is understandable that whether it is the Minotaur or the Werewolf Clan, the steppe orcs are still in a very primitive state.
Only Zigg, who came from a very developed modern commercial society, knew that price negotiation was also important.
Of course, Zig can't open his mouth and ask people for a thousand sheep for an iron pot, although they have not done business, it does not mean that they are stupid, this is equivalent to a bottle of water sold for fifteen yuan, can only slaughter people once, can not do business for a long time.
The purpose of the transaction is to be mutually beneficial, not to make money alone, if the price of Ziggy is too high, the orc tribe and may choose to grab it instead of trading.
Only when both parties to the transaction are profitable, can this business be a long stream.
The rest was easy, and the werewolf orc boy and his two minotaur slaves were released.
As a sign of sincerity, Ziggy borrowed a small pot from the blacksmith Finn, the kind that could only be used to boil a small pot of water, and gave it to the werewolf orc boy to take it back, and told him that it was called a deposit.
There was no need to fight and kill, the werewolf orc boy got an iron pot, which really made the werewolf orc boy a little happy.
Bucklev - This is the name of the werewolf orc boy that Ziggy learned about when the two sides exchanged names when the three steppe orcs were released.
After watching the three steppe orcs leave on a raft by the Salmon River, Ziggy and his party immediately returned to Grizzly Village.
After these steppe orcs are gone, Ziggy actually has more to do.
First of all, he borrowed an iron pot from Blacksmith Finn, but Ziggy couldn't pay it back, so Ziggy asked Blacksmith Fein to join the business by buying shares.
In any case, the business of Ziggy and the steppe orcs had to involve Finn, the blacksmith, who was the only one in the village who could strike iron and make iron pots.
Ziggy plans to form a cooperative that will be responsible for trading with the steppe orcs, and Ziggy has never run a company, but understands how it works.
The cooperative is a preliminary test for Ziggy to start a company, the purpose is to let more villagers participate, only let the villagers of Grizzly Village see that it is beneficial to follow the village chief, Zige can firmly hold the power in his hands.
From the perspective of the village chief, only by leading the villagers to prosperity can the villagers truly support themselves as the village chief.
Otherwise, it did not bring benefits to the villagers, did not solve the problem of food and clothing for the villagers, and only relied on the letter of appointment of the empire, and Qige, the village head, could only be the nominal village head, and could not get the sincere support of the villagers.
Without the sincere support of the villagers, it is impossible for Ziggy to build Grizzly Village into his sphere of influence, let alone want to do more in Grizzly Village.
