Chapter 1254 Profiteering, Conditions
Xia Duo was a little surprised by this answer, but it was also reasonable, since the big backer was back, he could be more daring when cooperating with others.
After all, the OEM fee of the Tower of Time is much cheaper than that of other high-level mages, and the more orders you place, the more you earn.
However, Xia Duo rejected this new order that would also make the Tower of Time profitable, not for anything else, but only to worry about whether the Tower of Time would be able to deliver in time.
You must know that the design drawings of the Demon Slayer Talisman are still in his carry-on space! He didn't even start the mass production design, and the 100 pieces he had ordered before were only the amount he could complete by himself.
Not counting the Tower of Time's team of magical mechanics at all.
If he takes more orders, he may not be able to get the bottom line.
It is still necessary to look at the completion of the order in June first, and then talk about the follow-up.
However, Xia Duo also completely refused, but left a certain amount of leeway: "The staff arrangement of the Tower of Time in June is full, and I am not ready to take more orders for the time being, let's talk about it in July!" ”
"No problem! The underground war will not end anytime soon, and there are still many opportunities for us to work together. ”
Between the words, Lord Harran even showed an attitude of looking forward to the underground war, which made Xia Duo frown secretly.
Although Xia Duo also wants to earn some gold in the underground war, he still knows the truth of losing his lips and teeth and taking care of the feelings of his allies, and as the lord of the Nessera side, he should not and cannot show such an attitude in public.
This caused Danzo to miscalculate that Nessreel might intervene in the war and prolong it.
"The Reborn Financial Giant"
While this is true to a certain extent in the interest of Nesseril, this kind of thing can only be done, but it must never be said.
In addition, in the longer term, sacrificing Danzo, which is almost a natural ally of Nessreel, may not be truly beneficial.
As a result, combined with Lord Harlan's choice to gamble before he was in a truly desperate situation, Xia Duo felt that this guy was not a good partner to work with.
He felt that Lord Harran was a person who paid more attention to short-term interests, and once he could not meet the other party's short-term interest requirements, it was not impossible for the other party to change his face instantly.
What Xia Duo wants most is an ally with a common ideal and common goal, followed by a partner with long-term common interests, and thirdly, a transaction partner with short-term common interests.
In the first two, Xia Duo can give a lot of benefits to his collaborators to a certain extent, after all, in the long run, he will not lose anything, but will earn more.
But the latter, the short-term trading object, is almost a hammer deal, of course, it can be squeezed as much as it can be clean.
Of course, with Xia Duo's current status and strength, any existence can develop into a long-term partner.
It doesn't matter if you drift away; If you dare to turn your face and play tricks, it also depends on the sword in Xia Duo's hand!
Thinking like this, Xia Duo already had a general idea of what to do with the nine demon-slaying arrows.
……
When he arrived at the residence, Xia Duo invited Lord Harran to the reception room to talk in detail, and the other party did not come to see him just to increase the order, but the most important thing was to get the nine demon slaying arrows in advance.
He believed that at this moment, there were definitely not many people who could take out nine demon slaying arrows at once, and the number that was supposed to appear at the end of the month had appeared at least a month earlier, which would definitely bring great benefits to Lord Harran.
Earlier, Lord Harran mentioned that at Prince Pasteur's, he was able to receive an order for a demon slaying talisman at the cost of a demon slaying arrow.
This should be true, but there must be more tricks to it, and you can't take ten demon slaying arrows now and be exactly the same as a month from now!
Even if the order is the same, the impression of Prince Pasteur will not be exactly the same, and the friendship of the dwarven prince, this book is a great benefit.
"Lord Harran, what I need to let you know is that I have just promised His Excellency Cliff to explore the astral boundary in the near future, and I need to prepare for this during this time, but you can rest assured, the remaining nine demon slaying arrows will be delivered in time within this month."
"Just promised? Heading to the Astral Plane? Charles Harlan was shocked.
He had thought that Lord Xia Duo would be able to produce the first Demon Slayer Arrow in two days, and the remaining nine would definitely be completed in a relatively short period of time.
But now, it is impossible for him to hinder His Excellency Cliff's plan, but he doesn't want to give up the Demon Slayer Arrow, a trace of anxiety flashed in Charles Harlan's eyes, and he asked without giving up: "Is there really no way to advance?" ”
"It's not impossible."
As soon as he heard that it was feasible, the expression on Lord Harran's face immediately turned to joy, and he couldn't wait to ask, "May I ask what Lord Xia Duo needs?" ”
Xia Duo glanced at the other party, does this guy really have a backer? You don't necessarily dare to ask such questions before you do it.
It's just that he knows that this matter is related to Cliff, but he still doesn't give up, and Xia Duo speculates that his relationship with Cliff may not be very close.
It seems that what Lord Harlan just said has an old relationship with one of Cliff's students, so it should be limited to that!
However, this is also a good thing for Xia Duo, if the other party puts Cliff first in everything, he will not ask for early delivery, then Xia Duo will not be able to get more in this matter.
As for what to gain, Xia Duo thought about it carefully, and he realized that he could not get anything special from Lord Harran.
The Harranside Manor has been handed over and belongs to the Tower of Time. As for the rest, it is higher, and the lord of Harran is unwilling; It's going to be low, and Xia Duo can't open his mouth himself.
So, Xia Duo put forward a condition that seemed to have nothing to do with him: "I need Lord Harlan to implement the new coins of the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce in the Harlan Territory and the economic activities that can be involved!" ”
"A new coin from the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce?" Charles Harlan's eyes rolled and he hurriedly asked, "Could it be that your creation of the Demon Slaying Arrow has something to do with the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce?" ”
"Huh."
Xia Duo didn't answer the question, just looked at the other party with a calm face, seeing how the other party chose.
The new coins of the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce involve an ascension ceremony, which not all realms will agree to.
According to Xia Duo's understanding, only a few territories are willing to take the initiative to promote new coins in the name of the government, and some unaware territories are relatively neutral, neither supporting nor opposing, depending on their relationship with the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce.
But more territories related to the Grand Arcanist are not opposed by the open, and all kinds of obstructions are secretly obstructed, even if the Seven Towers, which have a good relationship with Jenna, there are a lot of opposition voices within it.
After all, the ascension, in a sense, is all a competitor!
Perhaps, I think your ascension route may be relatively simple and easy to achieve, so I'll change it, such as Jenna, who is trying to build a business order, definitely more than one person thinks of it.
If she can win the Harlan Collar, it will definitely be a big step forward for Jenna.
Of course, for Xia Duo, although he couldn't get anything from Lord Harran, he would definitely be able to get it back from the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce.
He was sure of that!
