Chapter 124 Procurement at a Premium
Li Yinguang led Xiao Man out of the room and went down to the second floor of the Iron Armor City, where basically everyone gathered.
"Master!"
Li Yinguang nodded towards the housekeeper Goda and asked, "How is the progress of the procurement of the 'Reverse Life Crystal'?" ”
Since price is not an issue, it stands to reason that there should be no mistakes. But some things are just so coincidental!
The housekeeper Goda said in a deep voice: "Yesterday, the price of the Nine Shadows Treasure Store was 48,000 Silver Bull Coins, but today when I rushed over and wanted to buy the 'Reverse Life Crystal' at this price, the people from the Nine Shadows Treasure Store said that the 'Reverse Life Crystal' was booked at the price of 50,000 Silver Bull Coins. If we are not in a hurry, we can wait, if we want to cut off the beard, we need to pay an additional 5,000 silver bull coins, and at the price of 55,000 silver bull coins, we can buy this 'reverse birth crystal' spot! ”
Listening to the words of the housekeeper Goda, not only Li Yinguang frowned, but the others were also indignant, feeling that the Nine Shadows Treasure Store was playing the people of the Ancient Castle Iron Armored City.
"If you don't buy it, even if the 'Reverse Life Crystal' is rare and rare, the price is only between 30,000 and 35,000 Silver Bull Coins, and the Nine Shadows Treasure Store wants to pit us with 20,000 Silver Bull Coins, and there is no door!" Irma's eyes were cold, and she spat out her long, forked tongue and said sharply.
The old men in the castle ironclad city, such as captain Saipan, Buhe and others, also agreed with Irma's opinion.
Scarface is nothing more than lying on the bed for a long time, so there is no need for the Castle to buy the 'Reverse Life Crystal', the one who is seriously injured is only a 'slave', and it is not the city lord Li Yinguang.
Sophia, Lan Ling and the others stood quietly beside them, and they didn't mean to speak, they didn't have much contact with Scarface, and they didn't know this person very well.
Only Xiaoman's face was a little ugly, and he wanted to speak for Scarface, Scarface was her brother, no, it was her sister!
Li Yinguang shook his head, and did not answer Irma's words, but asked curiously towards the housekeeper Goda: "Did the people from the Nine Shadows Treasure Shop say who cut off the 'Reverse Life Crystal'?" ”
Butler Goda said: "It seems that the city lord of a certain ironclad city, in the past two days, went to the 'Zhenbei Ancient Battlefield' to salvage the mechanical wreckage, and the son of the ironclad city lord lost half of his body, so he cut off the 'reverse birth crystal' of the Nine Shadows Treasure Line at a high price." ”
Li Yinguang asked thoughtfully: "Then do you think that the Nine Shadows Treasure Store is deliberately raising the price, or is someone really booking this 'Reverse Life Crystal'?" ”
The butler Goda thought for a while, shook his head and said: "I don't know, it stands to reason that the price of 48,000 silver bull coins has enough profits, even if we have a grudge with the Roaring Mercenary Group, but there is no reason why the Nine Shadows Treasure Store will not sell the 'Reverse Life Crystal' to us." ”
To put it bluntly, Scarface is not an important person in the Castle Ironclad City, even if he doesn't buy the 'Reverse Life Crystal', there is no big problem.
At least that's what the outside world thinks!
Li Yinguang thought about it, sighed, and commanded: "Saipan, take the guards, accompany the housekeeper to the Nine Shadows Treasure Shop, and buy that 'Reverse Life Crystal' at a high price, go now, and prevent changes!" ”
"But ......"
Irma's face was gloomy and she opened her mouth to stop it.
Li Yinguang looked up and smiled at her, shook his head and said, "Okay, I know that you are thinking about me, but as the lord of the Iron Armored City, I also have to consider you, it is Scarface who is injured today, and if it is the child in your belly who is injured tomorrow, will you just watch her lie on the bed in order to spend a few thousand more silver bull coins and not go to treatment?" ”
After speaking, he waved to the housekeeper Goda: "We admit this loss, go and come back quickly!" ”
"Yes!"
Butler Goda bowed respectfully and walked briskly towards the lower level with Saipan and the others. Not long after, a heavy armored vehicle drove out of the port and sped in the direction of the town of Mambach.
In the control room, Li Yinguang sat on a chair.
Xiao Man snuggled in his arms, docile like a cat, while Sophia leaned against the wall in the shadows, and Lan Ling leaned against the lookout window, looking out of her mind.
Irma was chattering endlessly, expressing her dissatisfaction with Li Yinguang's indiscriminate spending.
As the only 'pregnant woman' in the Iron Armored City, her temper is growing at a speed that is visible to the naked eye, and she used to only reprimand the housekeeper Goda, but now, even Li Yinguang can't escape her nagging and complaining, but she can't say anything more, because what people say is also reasonable.
Xue Niang walked in from outside the door with a tray: "City Lord, drink a bowl of berry soup late at night to warm up." ”
There was more than one bowl of berry soup on the tray, apparently for everyone.
"Irma, is your mouth dry? Quick, drink some berry soup, how many months are you pregnant? Li Yinguang smiled and motioned to Xue Niang to take the berry soup to Irma first, and plugged the woman's mouth.
After getting along for a long time, everyone also found that Irma just looks bitter and mean on the outside, but in fact, she is quite real in her bones, not cold, and vicious is only a superficial phenomenon, maybe it is a disguise to show to others, she is just a middle-aged woman with a bit of personality.
Irma was not polite, took away the porcelain bowl containing only berry soup from the tray in Xue Niang's hand, and softened her eyes a little and hummed: "I've been pregnant with this little cub for three or four months, and I've been kicking my stomach lately, but Te Niang is restless, and when he comes out, the old lady has to slap him a few more times!" ”
"Huh!"
Li Yinguang smiled, took the berry soup handed over by Xue Niang, put it to his mouth and drank it, the sweetness and sourness were moderate, and the temperature was no longer hot.
"It tastes good!" I couldn't help but praise it.
Everyone else has it, like this 'sweet soup after meals', which Xue Niang basically prepares every day, sometimes sweet tea, sometimes berry soup.
"By the way, yesterday I went to the town of Mambach, and saw someone selling 'wasteland cod', it is selling the whole one, it looks very fresh, it should be a team from the snowy wasteland hunting back, hurry up tomorrow to send someone to buy a few back, let Xue Niang make grilled fish for everyone to eat!" Li Yinguang thought of something and said with a smile.
"yes, you can eat grilled fish!"
Xiao Man shouted happily, since Xue Niang arrived on the Castle, everyone's food was almost different from before.
All kinds of fancy cuisines, snacks, snacks, sweet soups, etc., Xue Niang is very handy, and everyone is happy to eat.
For this reason, Li Yinguang also held a special meeting to 'increase' Xueniang's salary.
She is now, serving everyone every day, with a salary of fifteen silver cow coins every month, don't think it is less, this is already a high salary, you must know that the miners in the iron ore field in Zhenbei, the heavy truck drivers who transport ore, the monthly salary is only about ten silver cow coins, and they have to bear great risks.
In the Castle Iron Armored City, the 'salary system' is adopted, from Li Yinguang, the lord of the Iron Armored City, to the slave laborers who have just been purchased.
As long as you pay, you will be rewarded, the ancient castle ironclad city is not a cold-blooded and ruthless cage, but should be a home and hope for everyone to coexist!
Slaves can make money to redeem themselves, there are additional rewards for combatants after victory, maintenance and research and development personnel will have overtime pay for overtime work, etc., anyway, there are all kinds of cakes on the castle, as long as you come up, you can be integrated into it, so that you can feel 'hope', so as to have a strong sense of belonging.
In Li Yinguang's words, our Castle Ironclad City should have its own 'system', talent system, salary system, promotion system and so on.
The imperfections should be gradually improved, the deficiencies should be corrected in time, and the unsatisfactory places should be quickly known by him, the ironclad city lord.
Li Yinguang knew very well that if the Iron Armor City wanted to grow, it would not work with him, the 'Iron Armor City Lord'.
He is just the leader, playing the role of leader and taking the lead, and he will not make mistakes in controlling the general direction. Construction, development, fighting, growth and so on are all inseparable from the people in the Iron City!
The fact that the Castle Iron Armor City can have today's upgrade results is by no means Li Yinguang's personal achievement.
In the battle of the 'Butcher', almost a few people in the Castle Ironclad City died, and the butler, Irma, Saipan, Sophia and others almost hung up.
The right time and place are indispensable, and the most expensive people are.
"Butler, they're back!"
Looking at Lan Ling, who was leaning against the window, he suddenly spoke.
Li Yinguang got up from the chair, put the bowl in his hand on the tray in Xue Niang's hand, and walked outside.
Butler Goda, Saipan and the others went out to return, about more than an hour, not short or too long, I don't know if they have purchased the 'Reverse Crystal' back.
"How?"
Li Yinguang saw the housekeeper Goda and asked calmly.
The butler Goda took out a wooden box from his body and said respectfully: "The price is 55,000 silver bull coins, and the Nine Shadows Treasure Store is not embarrassed, and has sold the 'Reverse Life Crystal' to us!" ”
Li Yinguang breathed a sigh of relief, and there was a little more smile on his face, it was better to spend a few thousand more silver bull coins than not being able to buy it back, and then think of other ways.
To treat Scarface, one is to buy horse bones in a thousand catties and make them for everyone in the Castle Iron City to see, and the other is that Li Yinguang really doesn't want to see Scarface lying on the bed and suffering!
If you don't have any money on hand, then don't say anything, isn't there still some money now, although this money is not Li Yinguang's own.
Took the wooden box, the box is not very big, only the size of a palm, Li Yinguang opened the box and looked at it, the 'reverse birth crystal' is like peanuts, the whole body is transparent, very much like a small Xiaoice block.
Does this thing have the effect of bringing people back to life and regenerating limbs?
Covered the box, handed it to Xiaoman, and said with a smile: "Go, take it to Scarface to eat, and see how the effect is." ”
"Thank you, brother!"
Xiao Man took it, like a foal, and ran towards Scarface's room with a little kick. No one wants Scarface to get better right away than she does!
A 'reverse birth crystal', the price is higher than a 'cannon cannon', to say that it is not distressing at all, it is not necessarily true!
Li Yinguang muttered in his heart, I hope it's worth it!
