Chapter Seventy-One: Descending the Dragon and Selling Mines
Six hours later, Meng Yang and Ruoyi arrived at the head of the Descending Dragon Bridge, Lietian was a little black dog without momentum, burying his head in Mengyang's heels, and Burning Sky was still a golden kitten, held in Ruoyi's arms and wrapped in leather clothing.
Even if the Burning Sky and Hunter were born brave, when they woke up along the way, the two guys each took thirteen bottles of primary recovery potion, otherwise, they would have lost their strength long ago. You must know that Meng Yang rode an iron horse blessed with magic props, and it took almost ten days to arrive.
Entering the Dragon City, the weather is extremely cold, this heavy snowfall, although the snow in the Dragon City is not as thick as the dragon ruins, but many pavilions and pavilions are still piled up with half a foot of snow, hanging ice strips.
Meng Yang led Ruoyi to rent a temporary warehouse and paid for three days. Only then did he go to the Sieg Chamber of Commerce and find Byron.
How did Byron know that Meng Yang, who was still communicating with him yesterday, appeared in front of his eyes today, and couldn't help but be overjoyed and greeted him and laughed: "Brother, how did you come here with such a big snowstorm?"
Meng Yang smiled and said, "Big brother, we are cold and hungry, aren't you going to let us into the house?"
Byron snorted, "Ouch, look at what you said, please come in, my good brother." Who is this?"
Meng Yang hurriedly pointed at Ruoyi and said: "This is my sister Ruoyi, sister, this is the Byron shopkeeper I often tell you about." Your brother and I don't get much help from him, otherwise where would Longxu come from today?"
Byron casually glanced at Ruoyi's peerless face that was hidden in the leather coat and could not be hidden, was slightly surprised, and then said, "Two, come into the house quickly." ”
There was a fire in the house, and Meng Yang personally removed Ruoyi's leather clothes, and the room was extremely warm.
Byron arranged for someone to serve tea, and after the three of them and two pets sat down around the fire, they quickly got down to business.
Meng Yang said with a straight face: "Brother, recently, the four powerful people in Dragon City have been staring at my Dragon Ruins Fort, and they want to swallow me in one bite, but people are not as good as heaven, and recently my Dragon Ruins Castle Demon Wolves are running rampant, haha, it has helped me a lot invisibly." Whoever likes to go to the dead has nothing to do with me. The reason why I came here in a hurry with my sister with expensive magic props is because I have something important to ask you, brother. This matter is done, brother, you will definitely be directly promoted to the top management of the Chamber of Commerce. Brother, look at this order, can you do it?"
Meng Yang took out the list of quantities and handed it to Byron, who only glanced at it, and his face immediately turned pale, and even his lips were no longer bloody, and his whole body began to tremble, and he was so excited that he could not control himself.
Meng Yang said lightly on the side: "Brother, brother, what I said has never been broken. I think, with this huge order, if you can't get to the top of the management, then what if you add thousands of tons of refined iron ore and cuprite?"
Byron took a deep breath and gradually calmed down. It took him about half an hour to read the list in detail, and then his eyes widened, looking back and forth between Meng Yang and Ruoyi's faces.
"Big brother, what's the matter, but there are difficulties?" Meng Yang asked with a slight frown.
Byron cautiously put the list into his arms and said in a low voice: "Brother, although I am a few years older than you, but when it comes to courage and insight, I can't compare with you at all, to be honest, when dealing with you, your brother and I have learned a lot from you, and I have benefited a lot! But don't you forget, your brother and I are prescient, aren't we going to have a privilege? I exercise the privilege, and the total price should not exceed 33 million gold coins. Could it be that your idea is to use the ore you got to pay for this batch of supplies?"
Meng Yang smiled bitterly: "Big brother who knows me, you know that my junior brother and my family background have already been emptied some time ago, where can I still get the money? In this way, you calculate, 1,700 tons of refined iron ore, 950 tons of cuprite, plus 30 tons of fine iron of top quality, 10 tons of red copper, aside from the discount I promised you, can I still get some money to do something else?"
Byron suddenly came to his senses, and said loudly: "Okay, brother, the discount you gave me is just enough for my brother and me to come in handy, this transaction is done, brother, I must be one of the senior executives of the Chamber of Commerce, thanks to you, brother." According to your will, 1,700 tons of refined iron ore are worth fifteen,300,000 gold coins, and 950 tons of cuprite are worth 1,000,450,000 gold coins, and these two things are worth 25,750,000 gold coins. After deducting the amount of materials you ordered, there is still a difference of 9.25 million gold coins. ”
Ruoyi looked shocked, but obediently didn't make a sound, just hugged the burning sky very tightly, she really didn't know, what kind of amount did the eldest brother add to the list she listed, which would cost more than 30 million gold coins?
Hearing that all the ore was still deducted from the amount of insufficient supplies, Ruoyi became extremely uneasy in her heart, and at this time, Meng Yang threw a comforting look at her, which made her feel a lot more at ease.
I also heard Byron calculate: "The top grade of fine iron and red copper, that is, the three major chambers of commerce have always traded with people, and they are also judged by catties, how can you ever have a brother who has taken out tons at one time like this? Do you know how many gold coins can be sold for twenty tons of top fine iron? Brother, I know that you have never regarded my brother and me as outsiders, and you have been honest with me, and my brother knows very well in his heart. You can rest assured, no matter what kind of threat my brother faces, he will never reveal your secrets. The agreement between us will always be valid, and when I reach a higher position, my brother will do everything I can to reward you. However, twenty tons of top-grade refined iron and ten tons of top-grade red copper, this is an astronomical amount of money, and I am afraid that the liquidity of all the branches of the Zig Chamber of Commerce in the Volcanic Plains will not be enough to pay you this money. ”
Meng Yang smiled and said, "Brother, I naturally know this, you talk about the price first." ”
Byron took a deep breath and said: "Thirty parts of refined iron ore can get an average of one top-grade refined iron, and the same is true for red copper. However, the price ratio of raw ore to concentrate is absolutely not 30 to 1, but 100 to 1! That is to say, your 30 tons of concentrate can be sold for 33 million gold coins, and even if the difference in your order is removed, our chamber of commerce will have to pay you 23,750,000 gold coins. Brother, your gift is too heavy, if my brother hadn't gotten used to being hit by you, I'm afraid he would have fainted with fright, you know?"
Meng Yang said: "Big brother, let's do it, I want you to store that batch of materials in the royal warehouse of Panlong in the imperial capital for me within a month, this is the number of the warehouse and the storage code, this matter, you know its importance, you can't leak a little rumor, I believe you can handle it." Since the top-level concentrate is taken out so much at one time, it will cause a lot of trouble, it is better to look at the arrangement, big brother, and trade it to the Chamber of Commerce one by one. I've already transported the ore to Descending Dragon City, let's go, I'll accompany you to take a look. ”
Ruoyi and Burning Sky stayed in Byron's room, and Monyan went with Byron to the warehouse.
After Byron looked at the mountains of ore in amazement and made sure that what Meng Yang said was not half a lie, Meng Yang said softly: "Big brother, in fact, you must have noticed something. Yes, I am also entrusted by others to be loyal to others. Your Chamber of Commerce has a slave shop in Panlong, right? I would like to personally select a batch of well-qualified ones to take away at that time, and as for that batch of materials, there must be no shortage of any kind. I look at it this way, that batch of concentrate, the eldest brother can dispose of it by himself, and dispose of it properly in your way, I just need to get that batch of materials, and then have a few million gold coins for the activity funds, and when the eldest brother's funds are in place, send them to Longxu Fort. ”
Byron finally became solemn, and asked in a trembling voice: "Brother, brother, I never dreamed that you would have such an entanglement with the Phoenix Princess, no wonder that Abreth wants to give you a territory and not come out to deal with you." Isn't it good for you to be your Wandering Lord in Dragon Ruins, why do you want to follow the Phoenix Princess to that kind of place? Do you know how dangerous it will be there?"
Meng Yang suddenly stretched out his hand and wiped it on his chest, and six bright stars suddenly appeared in the Warrior Medal, which made Byron's eyes light up, and he exclaimed: "What? Brother, it's only been a few months, and you're a sixth-level warrior? How the hell are you cultivating? Tsk, your current strength is on par with my brother, hey, since you've made a decision, it's useless for me to say more, brother." I just hope that you take care of yourself, you can rest assured, I will send a lot of money to Longxu, and the care of Longxu will never change. How many liquid coins do you want?"
Meng Yang said: "Anyway, I'm going to go to the imperial capital for a while, can't it be too cold, right? You only need to send another fifteen million gold coins or supplies to my Dragon Ruins, and the rest will be regarded as a brother's gratitude to your eldest brother. ”
Byron's heart was agitated, what a lot of effort, inside and out, he had millions of incomes, even many high-level officials of the Chamber of Commerce might not be able to get such a huge sum of money. With this money, he believed that he would soon be able to gain a foothold in the upper echelons of the Chamber of Commerce.
After handing over the temporary warehouse and ore to Byron, the two returned to Byron's residence in the Chamber of Commerce, and Byron had already ordered someone to prepare a sumptuous banquet, and Meng Yang made an exception and drank a few glasses with Byron.
Byron contacted the club overnight, happily told Meng Yang that everything was arranged, and gave Meng Yang a withdrawal slip, with which Meng Yang could withdraw five million gold coins from the Panlong Qige Chamber of Commerce.
Byron prepared a super luxurious snow dragon carriage for Meng Yang and the others, so that Meng Yang and the two could leave for the imperial capital the next day.
It was night, Meng Yang meditated and practiced all night, and Ruoyi, who was stained with light and absorbed aura, didn't sleep all night.
On the second day, Byron personally sent a fifth-level warrior from the Chamber of Commerce who was about fifty years old to drive the luxurious snow dragon carriage and send it outside the city.
The snow dragon carriage is the VIP carriage of the Qige Chamber of Commerce, and it can be said that some noble lords will not get the opportunity to ride once in their lifetime. It can be seen how much Byron attaches great importance to Monyan.
Compared with the iron horse blessed with magic props, the speed of the snow dragon carriage on the snow road is a few points faster, if it is estimated, at this speed, through the two marquis domains, out of Dulong City, and then more than 5,000 miles, it will take about fifteen days before and after to Panlong.
Because the territories of the two marquises, after all, are controlled by Uncle Ruoyi, Ruoyi made some disguises about his appearance, and when he rested after the two territories, he did not provoke anything. The journey went very smoothly, and when they got out of Earl Amanda's Dulong City, about 300 miles, Meng Yang felt that the temperature was gradually rising, and it was no longer so cold, and when he lifted the curtain, he saw the carriage running on the endless grassland. It's just that today's grassland has long been withered and green, and there is no longer a little new green.
Ruoyi said in a low voice: "Big brother, this is the first time you have left the Volcanic Plains, right? ”
Meng Yang exclaimed: "There should be a lot of herdsmen living on this fire wolf grassland, that is, a group that lives by grazing, is there any?"
Ruoyi said: "Yes, this grassland is the largest grassland at the junction of the imperial capital and the volcanic plain, where the thieves' union has established a huge pasture. Most of the horses of the royal army and the various noble lords of the Volcanic Plains were purchased from here. This ranch is also one of the pillar industries of the Thieves' Guild, and is no less than the income of the Zieg Chamber of Commerce. ”
At this moment, Lietian and Burning Sky whispered almost at the same time, and Meng Yang's face turned pale: "Sister, it seems that sitting in a luxurious snow dragon carriage is not necessarily absolutely safe." We've met bandits. ”
Ruoyi suddenly grabbed the magic wand, looking nervous.
