Chapter 89: Confrontation, each according to his needs
Duke Hans quickly calmed down and said:
"Your idea is very good, although I don't know how feasible it is, but young people have innovation and courage, which is very good, the city-state needs talents like you, and you are still so young, the future is limitless. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Ota hurriedly said a few words of modesty and said, "Next, I don't know if I am qualified to talk to you about the transaction." ”
Ota knew that now was the most critical time, and in order to make Duke Hans his talisman, he did not hesitate to throw out two drawings to impress him, and even put his figure very low.
When he decided to make a metal prosthesis, he asked people to investigate, and he was shocked by the number of disabilities, which was only an approximation, and the actual number was much higher.
Thinking that there were hundreds of thousands of disabled soldiers in the city-state, living on meager handouts every month in addition to pensions, how could such a big burden not give the archons a headache?
However, Ota was just thinking about how to make money, and did not want to solve any problems for Duke Hans, but now, something is imminent and Ota has to fight.
"Okay, let's hear it. Duke Hans said noncommittally, as if there was something in his words.
Orta had already thought about what to say, so he began to speak with a heavy face.
Ota first talked about the doubts of the various sledgehammers in the industry, and finally said: "The kid is an outsider after all, in order to avoid vicious competition and slander from his peers, I also ask Lord Hans to reward a franchise license, even if the forging company pays an extra 10% of the tax." ”
"That's right......" Duke Hans pondered for a moment, and then said: "That's not as good as this, you just have a noble title but no title, if you donate the drawings, I can give you five thousand to donate meritorious service, just to be promoted to a baron, with a knighthood you can receive a gold coin every month, you can recruit three hundred warriors, if you have enough gold, you can also buy a castle at the foot of the mountain, with the castle as the center of the kilometer can be allocated to you as a manor, how about it?"
Ota smiled bitterly, but he didn't expect Duke Hans to answer his words, but instead came up with the idea of drawings.
If it were in normal times, Orta would definitely agree, although the baron is the lowest of all the titles, but it is a title anyway, and the nobles who do not have a title will give way when they see the baron.
But now, when he felt that Duke Hans cared a lot about his drawings, or rather, about this opportunity to improve his political achievements, then the title of this baron was not so attractive to Otta, and he had to fight for more and greater benefits.
So he said slowly: "The drawings are not perfect, and there are still many details that need to be constantly adjusted, which requires feedback from the trial to be slowly modified." Also, I want to know if my blacksmith can still operate this after donating to adults?"
Hans shook his head, "Since it is led by the Consulate, it can only be made by the Forge Guild, and the personnel and tools are all complete, and all the profits must be handed over, so to speak, this is part of the tax revenue of the city-state, and private people are absolutely not allowed to operate this item." ”
Hans didn't hide it, and besides, it was all on the surface, and there was no need to hide anything.
Orta shook her head, it wasn't what he was hoping for.
So he thought for a while and said: "Lord Hans, in fact, I also want to make some contribution to the city-state, but this drawing really needs to be improved, even if it is donated, I am afraid that the people of the Forging Association will have difficulties when making finished products, and when the time comes, it will be a waste of time, manpower and materials, and if the loss is too great, even if they don't say it, they will secretly complain about the Lord in their hearts." ”
"Well, that's a problem, but your drawings don't seem to be flawed. Master Hans took the opportunity to belittle Otta.
Ota smiled helplessly, but it was okay, belittling himself meant that he was ready to bargain, as long as he reached a price that everyone could accept, the transaction could continue, as long as he could get what he was most eager to want, it was acceptable to earn less in terms of gold.
"Do you think this is the case? The finished product is completed by my forging shop, and all the costs include future research and improvement, and all the costs incurred are borne by me, and you give a franchise license, and thirty percent of the profits are handed over, what do you think, Lord Duke?"
Master Hans shook his head after touching his chin, and suddenly said, "If I remember correctly, you just said that you are a foreigner, and you are Xia Rui's deputy instructor of the Guards, so that means that you were recruited by him in Xiluo Village?"
Orta didn't know why he was talking about it, and he was a little dazed, but his intuition told him that he couldn't hide and lie at the moment, and since he could talk about this, he must have mastered something to ask like this.
So Ota nodded, "Yes, my lord, I don't know how you guessed?"
"It's very simple, this siege in Xiluo Village is to apply for recruitment from the military department and the city-state at the same time, and the reason for the hunt is because a young man named Ota killed a witch, and you are also called Otta, these are all recorded, and my memory is not so bad. ”
"I see, I don't know why the adults asked about it?"
Hans said expressionlessly: "Outside the city gate, on the wanted notice posted by the Will Army, you should be familiar with that Leo, right?"
Ota's heart tightened suddenly, but he still replied very calmly: "That's my stepfather." ”
"I learned the art of forging from him?" asked Hans.
Orta was a little frustrated in his heart, and thought in his heart, "The most worrying thing is still here, but I didn't expect Will to spread the news to the city-state, and Duke Hans is also an old fox, since he has known it for a long time, he is still." ”
Although he thought so, he still replied unhurriedly: "Yes, it is a forging technique learned from Leo." ”
Hans listened with great interest, and when he saw that Ota was only frankly admitting, he was silent, so he had to remind, "Say, keep talking." ”
Orta wondered, "There's nothing to say, that's all." ”
"For example... Brontosaurus. Hans reminded.
"I haven't heard of it. ”
"Hmm... Cheats. Hans asked, crossing his hands and thumbs in circles with each other.
"I haven't seen it. ”
"Oh, tell me how you became a blacksmith at such a young age?" Hans looked at him with a slightly playful smile.
Ota Zhengse said: "Talent, as long as I am in my spare time, I am in the forging, this can be investigated by adults, and the demon slayer even gave me the nickname of blacksmith instructor." ”
Hans shook his head, "No matter how talented you are, it is impossible for you to surpass many people who have studied for a few years, or even more than ten years, in more than half a year, let's say, is there something like a cheat that makes you improve so quickly?"
"There really is no adult, please trust me. Orta's eyes were clear and honest, but he said in his heart: "In the mezzanine of the belt around my waist, there is really a forging secret book from the dwarf race, but it was not left to me by Leo, and I can't admit that I was killed in this matter." ”
"Well," said Hans, who was silent for a moment, and then suddenly smiled, "since you have repeatedly denied it, I will believe it for the time being, and now let's talk about the transaction." ”
Ota was somewhat relieved, but after this exchange of words, Hans was clearly in the driver's seat.
I only heard Hans say: "The finished product you make can only be sold by the forging association, and you will be notified in advance according to the demand, and you must ensure that the delivery is made within the specified time, and as for the price, it will be delivered according to the cost price of raw materials and labor costs, is there a problem?"
Otta's eyes widened suddenly, "Lord Hans, then I'm not going to drink the Northwest Wind? ”
Hans smiled and said, "You'll get other benefits, and this should be what you want most." ”
"Oh?" Ota watched as he fell silent, waiting for his next step.
"In order to ensure continuous delivery, you can ensure that no one can disturb your work during the cooperation, are you satisfied with this?"
Ota understood, although Master Hans didn't say it directly, but the implication was that he would not be investigated and interfered with during the cooperation between the two sides, wasn't this exactly what he needed?
Well, you've won, Ota said to himself. However, if he could fight for more, he still had to fight for it, so Orta discussed it with him again.
Outside the door, Paul glanced at the wooden door from time to time, and said to himself, "This boy has been in for too long, and he has never seen Duke Hans talk to people for so long. ”
Just as he was thinking, the door was pushed open, and he saw Ota walk out with a calm face, and he couldn't see anything unusual.
From inside the door came the voice of Master Hans: "Paul, see me off." ”
"Yes, sir. Paul replied and stretched out his hand helplessly, and after making a gesture of invitation, followed behind Horta.
Angry and helpless eyes converged on Orta, who walked with a calm expression, ignoring them, and finally, under Paul's resentful gaze, went downstairs and disappeared.
In the room, Duke Hans stood by the window with his hands behind his back and looked at the lake, which was frozen all around, except for the rippling water in the depths, and hundreds of small boats were busy collecting their nets.
Hans remembered Otta's proposal before leaving, and couldn't help but laugh.
I have the supreme management of the Three White Kings Medicine Company in Kurhea, money is no longer what I want, now what I need is political achievements, a viscount, and the recognition and reward of the royal family. Only in this way will His Royal Highness be of more importance to me, and if I can help him ascend to the throne, it will be easy to become a prince in the future.
Duke Hans pondered, and laughed even more happily silently at the thought that Orta had been pinched seven inches by him in a few words.
I don't care if you have cheats or not, if you're a foreign descendant, capturing rebels is what the Dark Knights should do, and as for you Ota, as long as you can do your best for me.
Thinking of the Dark Knights, of course, of his Henry brothers, Hans's happy smile instantly disappeared, and he murmured: "Brother, hehe, before you joined the Dark Knights, we were very good brothers, but now...... Hey. ”
