Chapter 69 Anti-bribery

1500 gold francs is actually not too tempting for today's Colin, after all, the gram camera alone has brought him more than 10,000 gold francs in this month, but the visual impact of gold coins will indeed produce a better effect, if it is a 1500 gold lang storage ticket, it may not be so attractive.

Colin couldn't help but lament the whimsy of the Gilmans.

The bribes are made so elegantly, and it really deserves to come from the Western Continent.

I'm afraid that for this scene, even the people in the gladiatorial arena just now were arranged by them, and they really took a lot of effort.

But from the point, he also confirmed one thing.

Perhaps in the minds of the Gilmans, they have always thought that the camera was designed by the teacher, and that they were only negotiating on behalf of Roman Sagan.

That's why such a large amount of bribes is to make concessions in the purchase negotiation for a while - I have to say that the comprador is really making money.

"Mr. Joseph, I'm more and more convinced that you're an expert at martial arts." Colin didn't say anything about the gold coins on the table.

"Laughing, only a gladiatorial arena of this scale in your country can generate such a large amount of gambling money."

Joseph graciously invited Colin to take a seat, and then cut to the chase:

"Mr. Vane, I'm afraid you also know my intentions, I have to say that although the photo machine was first proposed by Sir Mora of our country, it is a shame that almost no one in the entire Western Continent believes in his idea, until now, business in Thunder City is in full swing, and there are still most people in Gilman who do not believe that this is the truth."

Joseph took a sip of his wine and continued:

"Therefore, we, Grand Duke Schulz, hope to be able to purchase a photograph from your country, on the one hand, to admire the most advanced magic projects in the continent today, and on the other hand, to use facts to wake up the stupid arrogance of the Gilmans."

The Western Continent has almost never had a unified regime, hundreds of small countries have their own affairs, and only a hundred years ago, in order to balance Tulum in the Southern Continent and Oshik in the Northern Continent, more than 30 countries united to form the Blue Alliance.

The current head of the Principality of Gilman, Grand Duke Schulz, was only thirty-five years old and belonged to the young and powerful faction.

Joseph's words were very polite, flattering and flattering, and even a little low, if it were not for the fact that Gilman's monopoly position in various engineering technologies was not known, Colin would have thought that the other party was just a small country with no name.

"Mr. Joseph is too polite, we just got a slight breakthrough in the camera by luck, if it is about magic engineering, who can compare with Gilman."

"Where, where." Joseph smiled and said, "That...... About the photo ......"

"Absolutely."

Colin said: "In fact, we have never planned to keep the camera private, magic has no borders, only by studying together, can we progress together, and hope to be able to reproduce the glory of the classical magic period as soon as possible." ”

Joseph was ready for the other party's prevarication, and was about to say further, but who knew that the other party actually agreed, as if punching cotton.

He paused for a moment, and then immediately chimed in:

"Mr. Vane's pattern is admirable, magic knows no borders, and this is worth another toast."

"Cheers."

Colin seemed to be happier than him, and without waiting for Joseph to mention it again, he took the initiative to say:

"In order to show our sincerity, the Youjin Chamber of Commerce is willing to sell a newly developed photo camera to Gilman at cost price, a total of 250 gold langs, what does Mr. Joseph think of this price?"

Happiness came too suddenly.

Joseph thought that even if the other party was willing to sell, he would definitely take the opportunity to open his mouth, and he had already prepared before leaving, holding a budget of tens of thousands of gold francs, who knew that in the end it would be like picking it up for nothing.

He thought that the 1,500 gold lang just now had played a role, but he looked down on Colin Vane a lot in his heart.

"Mr. Vane is a good friend to make, and please let me know in advance if you come to Gilman next time."

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say."

Colin smiled, "But, Mr. Joseph, before that, can you please do me a small favor?" ”

"No problem." Joseph was in a good mood: "Mr. Wayne, please." ”

Colin sat up straight: "You also know that our Tulun has always been relatively weak in magic engineering, so I hope to be able to purchase a batch of learning materials from your country, I don't know if we can negotiate." ”

Joseph immediately sensed the problem and said with a little vigilance:

"I don't know Mr. Wayne, what study materials do you need?"

"Actually, it's not much, it's just a few books and some old construction machinery."

Colin smiled and took out a piece of grey finch paper from his pocket, handed it to Joseph, and said, "I've written it all on it." ”

Joseph picked up the paper and looked at it, and was momentarily stunned.

I saw that a total of seven articles were written on it:

1. The "Seven Variations" written by the great magician Adol in the 56th year of the Blue Calendar;

2. Schiller Mora's "Three Questions on Cutting Double Rings Regression Counting" in his later years;

3. Schiller Mora's 77th year, "The Dialectic of Strong Convergence and Uniqueness in the Calculation of Earth Magic Patterns";

4. "On the Universal Principle of the Euburn Finley's Formula in the β Surface Domain" written by the high-level magician Webb Landau in the 29th year of the Blue Calendar;

5. The Earl of Tours in the 41st year of the blue calendar, "Design Parameters and Atlas of Shallow Light Depth Machine";

6. Burke Mareas's 34-year version of the "Wind Nuclear Collider" prototype;

7. Zamas Johnson's team's '67 version of the "vertical double-cut interlocker".

Joseph looked at it for a long time, and his face was very stiff.

How many books and some old construction machinery are called?

Even if these things are placed in Gilman, they are still treasures of the national treasure, okay?

Joseph finally understood why the other party was very generous at first, and it turned out that he was waiting for him here.

"Mr. Wayne, these ......"

"What, is there a problem?" Colin smiled: "Don't worry, we won't ask for it in vain, the Tulun Kingdom will offer a price that is satisfactory to both parties." ”

Joseph was puzzled: "It's just that these are currently treasured in the museum, and they are national treasures. ”

"Can't even your Grand Duke get it?"

Colin frowned, "I've heard that last month the Duchy of Brighton borrowed a 190-year-old 'Wind Balancing Turbine' from your Gilman Museum, which is no worse than the seven things I listed."

"Besides, we just toasted to Magic Without Borders, right?"

"This ......" Joseph almost wanted to slap his mouth, but said helplessly: "Mr. Wayne, I am just an ambassador, and I can't decide such an important matter." ”

Joseph knew that he could no longer talk about it today.

These things on the paper are all Gilman's national treasures, and they are all very cautious when lending them within the Blue Alliance, not to mention Tulum, who is half friend and half friend.

However, thinking that the camera is also of great significance to Tulum, he can't turn his face on the spot, so it seems as if he can only take advantage of himself.

What's more, he is only an ambassador, and how to decide in the end has to be up to Archduke Schulz and the Gilman Magic Branch.

"I need to go back and talk to the Grand Duke." Joseph finally said helplessly.

"No problem, then, when we meet next time, I hope we can finalize the details of the sale of the photograph." Colin made no mention of his seven demands.

Both sides drank their glasses of wine.

Joseph was leaving.

Colin immediately walked up and said with a smile on his face:

"Mr. Joseph, we Tulum people are relatively straightforward and do things not elegantly."

He pointed to the plate of gold coins on the table and said with a smile: "This 1500...... Oh no, this 1497 gold lang is regarded as a gift from me to you, I hope you can say a few kind words for us in front of the Grand Duke Schultz, and after the deed is completed, there will be a thank you. ”

Joseph: "......"
