The price of the product?A gleam flashed in Velvet's eyes, the meat dish is coming!

"In order to build the territory, especially the mines and steel mills, the first phase of our Viscount Mansion has more than 50 million silver coins, and we have really borne a lot of debts for this, and now the interest alone is hundreds of thousands of silver coins every day, if we can, of course we want to sell the products as soon as possible and return the funds. But the steel trade is not a human specialty, and you need to consult with your dwarven friends. ”

Hall Copperbeard glared at Vilvet, 50 million this effect, what are you liaring ghosts? Vilvette didn't mind glaring back, I am a liar, what can you do with me? The two sides stared at each other several times, and in the end it was the dwarves who lost first.

"I have to admit that the quality of Babia steel is far beyond our imagination, in addition to the magic flux in many performance indicators are close to the level of dwarf steel, it is the best steel material for human refining, the price is naturally not a loss, I suggest that the price is set at 16 ~ 18 silver coins per catty is more pertinent. ”

'It's close to the level of dwarven steel...... ' Velvet complained about the dwarf's pride in his heart, but he didn't hesitate. The lowest price of 16 silver coins per catty, that is, 1600 copper coins, can be called sky-high compared with other local steel. Now the most expensive on the market is dwarf steel, the master produces the top goods with no price, the highest price is about 15~16 silver per catty, and the steel produced by ordinary dwarves is 12 silver per catty, which is the pillar of the dwarf economy.

The old dwarf was already cowardly, he knew that the performance of the dwarf steel was far inferior to the Babia steel in the two major trade volume of civilian steel and military ordinary weapon steel, but the pride of the dwarf did not allow him to speak with a clear conscience, so the price offered was more conscientious, in line with the cost of producing this kind of steel in his cognition.

"Indeed, dwarf steel is the best steel on this continent, and we still have a lot of problems with Babia steel, so naturally we should look at Dwarf Steel to see what it is. According to the price of 12 silver coins of dwarf steel, it is more appropriate to put the price of Babia steel at 5~6 silver coins per catty......"

"You're messing around!"

Hearing Velwitt's statement, Hall Copperbeard immediately couldn't sit still. So high-quality steel ingots, the highest is only 8 silver, which is only slightly more expensive than human self-produced steel. Such a price not to mention the military ordinary weapon steel and civilian steel market, and even impact the civilian ordinary steel market, where will there be dwarf steel to speak at that time?

What's even more embarrassing is that Hall Copper must clearly know that even the most ordinary dwarf steel has a mass production cost of as high as 10 silver, or even more. The control of the Dwarves of the Iron Fort Chamber of Commerce is actually not strong, in addition to the dwarves living in mines, volcanoes and other places, there are many people scattered among the humans, elves, and orcs in the city-states, and the trade of dwarves' weapons and armor and steel ingots is mainly traded as separate individuals, and everyone is operating independently and is responsible for their own profits and losses. The role of the Chamber of Commerce and the clan is similar to the function of clubs, residential areas and other functions, mainly so that everyone has a place to exchange ideas and live.

And the production efficiency of dwarven craftsmen is limited, resulting in high labor costs, coupled with the high cost of living raised by almost all people who are alcoholic, if the price is less than 10 silver, many dwarves must quit drinking, which is even more terrible than killing them.

Hall Copperbeard's anger is justified, according to Hall Copperbeard's experience of soaking around the furnace for most of his life, refining high-quality steel like Babia Steel should have extremely high requirements for all kinds of raw materials, which will inevitably lead to high costs. Originally, there was another one that "production is extremely difficult, so the output is extremely low", but after seeing the 20 tons of molten steel pouring down, even the proud dwarf added this one without face.

Velvet was still calm, his fat face expressionless, and he was not angry when he was interrupted, he could understand the feelings of the dwarves, and it wouldn't be much better if he were replaced, but that didn't prevent him from making up for the last slash. "Master Hall overreacted, I think the price of up to 6 silver is appropriate, because we are not producing finished products after all, and we must leave enough profit for the final finished product processing industry, otherwise no one will use our steel. ”

This is almost a clear duty, and the culprit of the high price of dwarven weapons is the high price of steel, but this is not enough, and further crackdowns are needed.

Velvet then had a weapon box brought in, which contained two weapons, a steel long knife with an ordinary shape, a bright blade, a very ordinary handle and handguard, and a broadsword, the blade exuded a hint of coldness, the body of the sword was covered with patterns, and the decoration and workmanship of the handguard and hilt were of the highest quality. However, Hall Copperbeard found a small gap in the side of the broadsword, which gave him a bad feeling.

Velvet stepped forward and motioned for several dwarves to come forward and look at the two weapons. "This broadsword must be very familiar to several masters. That's right, this is the sword that the foot knights of my Lawrence Imperial Guard are equipped with, all of which are the best weapons produced by the dwarves, and only the top elite of the Guards in the Empire have the opportunity to equip them. According to the documents I opened, this batch of dwarven broadswords was purchased five years ago, and the unit price at that time reached 150 silver coins, and the total price of the entire contract was as high as 300,000 silver coins. ”

"This is the broadsword that my baron transferred from the arsenal of the knights of the guard, of course, when he got it, it was still in good condition, this sword is well-made, and the craftsmanship of the dwarves is indeed extraordinary. The gap in the sword was caused by slashing with the long knife next to it. ”

"You can see the long knife next to you, the workmanship is actually not fine, and there is no inscription or decoration on the knife body, especially the gauntlet part, which is indeed very rough. However, it was such a rough long knife that cut a gap in the edge of the dwarven broadsword. ”

Hearing this, the dwarves who did not believe in evil surrounded the weapon boxes, and both weapons were taken out to examine them carefully, and the more they looked at them, the more they felt that something was wrong, and it seemed that what the dead fat man said was true! Fine beads of sweat appeared on Hall Copperbeard's forehead, and the other dwarves were no better, and they frequently raised their arms to wipe their foreheads.

“...... Could it be that this knife ......" Hall Copperbeard looked at Qin Shouzhuo, hoping that the other party could give an explanation. Qin Shouzhuo didn't say anything, just nodded his head heavily, Hall Copperbeard was hit hard, and his body shook and was about to fall backwards, but fortunately he was caught by the dwarves around him.

Qin Shouzhuo's meaning is very clear, this knife is indeed produced in the province of Babia, and the fact is also true. After the successful test of the electric arc furnace, Qin Shouzhuo will naturally not be idle, and the steel ingots refined in order to train workers must always have a way out, and it is shameful to waste, and steel processing equipment is also a necessary thing. So Qin Shouzhuo instructed the workers to practice with the first assembled electric arc furnace, and at the same time built a steel processing verification machine - a forging press with a pressure of only 5 tons.

After that, things are simple, the rough processing after the steel is produced is also something to be done in the factory anyway, and it doesn't hurt to let the workers see the power of the forging press in advance.

Qin Shouzhuo personally opened the 5-ton forging press, using cold forging to slowly forge the billet into shape, and then Qin Shouzhuo used the electric arc furnace under construction next to it to modify a simple quenching and tempering furnace, quenched and tempered the long knife, and also used the surface carburizing process at the blade and blade. After everything was done, Qin Shouzhuo handed over the billet to an ordinary worker to install the hilt and gauntlet, and cut the blade.

When the blade was opened, the workers had already noticed the abnormality, and Qin Shouzhuo smiled slightly. This knife, especially the blade and blade part, is extremely hard, the blade body maintains a high hardness at the same time, but also has a high toughness, the material strength is very large, which makes the cutting a very difficult thing, and finally relying on the perennial experience and long work of the workers, to complete this process, to make the first long knife of the Barbian barony.

Then Qin Shouzhuo tested the knife, the method was very simple, the two weapons collided. The long knife forged by Qin Shouzhuo himself was really as sharp as clay, and he cut off the standard weapons taken out of the Lawrence Empire's quartermaster depot in a row, and tried the weapons from the local militia to the main legion, and there was not even a scratch on the blade.

In the end, Qin Shouzhuo took out the dwarven broadsword of the Guards Knight, and was unscathed under one blow, and the dwarven craftsmanship was commendable. However, under the continuous slashing, the difference in quality was gradually revealed, and finally when the two weapons collided for the ninth time, the blade of the dwarven sword cracked open, and Qin Shouchou's long knife was still unharmed.

“...... Damn ......"

The morale of the dwarves plummeted, and several young dwarves couldn't help but turn their eyes to the broadsword, the dwarf sword would lose to the weapons created by humans, and it must be that the craftsman who built this broadsword was not up to par, and he lost the face of the entire dwarf. With this last hope in mind, the young dwarves looked at the broadsword over and over again, and found that the craftsmen who made it may not be so skilled, but they were also good enough craftsmen who showed all the dwarven skills, and the level of the product was on the average line.

Since the dwarven broadsword is fine, then the problem lies with the longsword. Looking at the smooth surface of the blade, the dwarves expressed their fear of Alexander. So, the question returned to the original proposal: "I don't know, how is His Excellency the Baron going to sell such a long knife?"

Qin Shouchou didn't speak, just nodded at Velvet beside him, and Velvet understood: "I must admit that our long knife production level is still relatively average, and in terms of craftsmanship and other aspects, we are not the opponents of the dwarves, so the price is naturally slightly lower." We tentatively set the unit price of this long knife at 150 silver coins, and bulk purchases can be discounted to 120 silver coins, what do you think?"
