Chapter 208: Business
Seeing that the others had no doubts, Wang Yong instructed: "Don't tell outsiders what you said today, it's related to the safety of all of us." Everyone gave Wang Yong a middle finger, saying that Wang Yong's words were purely superfluous.
Wang Yong shrugged his shoulders and said, "In this case, everyone will find a place to settle down, and they will all go to the front hall for dinner for a while, and we will leave at noon tomorrow." When everyone heard this, they all dispersed, and they all wanted to grab a better room.
Wang Yong glanced at the women who were looking at him with a smile, and finally sighed helplessly and gave up this best small building to them. In a parrot-like laughter, Wang Yong rushed out in embarrassment and began to grab the room with others regardless of face.
In the end, Wang Yong and Regan, who couldn't pull their faces, only mixed into the worst room, because it was next to the thatched house.
Wang Yong was sighing in the room, and his neighbor Reagan came over, patted Wang Yong's shoulder with a smile and comforted: "Who can blame? They are not used to you, this is called self-inflicted." ”
Wang Yong pouted and said, "You won't be idle and bored to laugh at me, right?" Reagan didn't answer, but looked around.
Wang Yong understood and knew that Regan had something important to say, so he let go of his sense and looked around. After making sure that there was no one around, Wang Yong asked curiously, "What is so mysterious?"
Reagan said with a worried face: "I'm still a little worried about them, if they are Ono's people, it will be very dangerous for you to intercept Ono." ”
Wang Yong nodded and said, "I've also thought about this, after all, we don't know them very well for the time compensation of contact with them." ”
Reagan suggested, "You might as well bring more people with you tomorrow, and if there is any accident, you can take care of it." ”
Wang Yong shook his head and said, "That's not good, if we think too much, it will make the shadow dance and them have a separation." ”
Reagan said dissatisfiedly: "Then what should I do, I can't let you take risks, if you don't get it right, the price we pay will be too great." Otherwise, let's give up this operation, and look for opportunities when we determine the position of Shadow Dance and them later. ”
Wang Yong shook his head and said, "Then it's too late to save people." ”
Reagan sighed and said, "Alas, it would be nice to gather men from the territory to help in a hurry." ”
Wang Yong's eyes lit up. And then gave himself a slap in the face. Annoyed, he said, "Why didn't I think of looking for foreign help?"
Reagan was surprised and asked, "You have friends here too?"
Wang Yong shook his head and said: "No, I mean to say, I can let Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai come over overnight, let them wait outside the city, and let them follow from a distance after we set off tomorrow, if there is really an accident." They're our support. If things go well, let them go back quietly, so that they don't think too much about it. ”
Regan slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "This is a good solution, why didn't I think of it?" The two of them smirked together, discussed some things about the construction of the territory, and only went to the front hall together at dinner time.
Simple after dinner. Regan, Steward Hal and Kevin went to the slave market, ready to buy some slaves to come back to take care of the courtyard in place of Aaron's people, and buy a few more carriages to use tomorrow, while Wang Yong took Shirley and Danny to the City Lord's Mansion.
When Aaron saw Wang Yong go and return, his expression was extremely surprised, and he thought that Wang Yong had repented and continued to blackmail.
Wang Yong didn't talk nonsense, and went directly to the topic and said: "Aaron City Lord." I'm here to talk to you about business. I don't know if you're interested. ”
Aaron asked cautiously, "What business?"
Wang Yong said straight to the point: "You also know that my territory has just been recovered. Now it's a waste to be rebuilt, I urgently need a batch of cast iron, I wonder if Aaron City Lord can help?"
Aaron was a little embarrassed and said, "This is not easy to do." ”
Wang Yong explained: "I know that these things are not rich anywhere, and I will not embarrass you, I only need scrap metal that you don't use, such as scrapped weapons, broken armor or something, as long as it is iron." I don't think you have enough people here to process those scraps, so you might as well sell them to me and buy new ones with gold coins, wouldn't it be more cost-effective?"
Aaron's eyes lit up, he really had a batch of scrapped weapons in his hands, because there were not enough people to return to the furnace and reforge them.
Wang Yong saw that Aaron was a little moved, and hurriedly added a fire and said: "The price of pig iron is about 60 to 70 silver coins per catty, and I will pay 20 silver coins per catty to buy scrap iron, and you will not suffer a loss." ”
Aaron is also very satisfied with the price given by Wang Yong, after all, it saves a lot of processing costs in the middle, and, crucially, he can also get a lot of benefits in the middle.
Aaron opened his mouth and asked, "I don't know how much Count Ivan wants to buy?" Aaron thought: "If this Count Ivan buys a relatively large amount, then he can not only recover his losses this time, but also further increase his property." ”
Wang Yong waved his hand and said, "I will collect as much as you have, but you have to be responsible for transportation." ”
Aaron didn't expect Wang Yong's appetite to be so big, and asked in surprise: "How much do you want?"
Seeing Wang Yong nodding, Aaron asked extremely cautiously, "Are there any additional requirements?"
Wang Yong shook his head and said, "The sooner the better." ”
Then, Wang Yong asked Shirley to return all the deeds from Aaron except for the other courtyard where he is now settled to Aaron, and said very generously: "These are good as deposits, enough to cover the amount of more than seven tons of scrap iron, if you send more than this amount, I will settle it on the spot, and I will never default." Aaron took the deed of the lost deed with disbelief on his face.
When Wang Yong asked again, Aaron came back to his senses and asked suspiciously, "I don't know how many tons Count Ivan said?"
Wang Yong slapped his forehead and said depressedly: "I almost forgot that there is no such unit of measurement here, well, one ton is equal to two thousand catties, and this unit of ton is used for large-scale measurement." ”
Aaron tilted his head and calculated, feeling that the profit that could be obtained was quite large, so he quickly nodded and agreed, and then asked with some expectation: "Does Count Ivan only buy this time or does he plan to buy it for a long time?"
Wang Yong replied: "I plan to buy for a long time, but it is also limited, although the difference between cast iron is relatively large, but there are times when it is saturated." If Aaron City Lord wants to do this business, I hope you will hurry up, after all, I can't just find you to cooperate, and if others start faster than you, then there is nothing I can do. ”
Aaron pondered for a while and said, "Give me a deadline, in addition to me, I have many friends who also own territories, but they are far away from here, if there is enough time, I will send someone to buy it elsewhere." ”
Wang Yong summed it up and said: "It's hard for me to grasp the specific deadline, so let's sign a contract now, within a year, as long as you can send scrap iron to Haibin Province, I will buy it at this price, and we will negotiate another year later." ”
Aaron clapped his hands excitedly and said, "Okay, Count Ivan is really a cheerful person, then let's sign the contract now." ”
Aaron calculated, according to the tonnage, he could have three or four tons of scrap iron in his hand, and if he bought it at a low price and resold it to Wang Yong, it would definitely be a good deal to make a fortune.
Wang Yong's heart was also very painful, he knew that the metal in this world was very expensive, especially the commonly used cast iron, but Wang Yong didn't expect it to be so expensive. But now that the territory is in urgent need of steelmaking materials, Wang Yong has no choice but to endure the pain and come to Aaron to make this deal.
After the two sides signed the contract, Wang Yong said to Aaron, who was grinning and smirking: "Don't you know the right to contract and develop the land in the territory of the city lord?"
Wang Yong's words made Aaron stunned for a moment, and then asked, "What is the development right?"
Wang Yong explained: "If I see a piece of land, I pay for the right to use it, but the land itself still belongs to you, but I build a house, mine, build a market there, and you can't control it." ”
Aaron suddenly realized: "Oh, I see, what you said is similar to renting land to farmers for farming, but what you said seems to change the use of land, and the price is not easy to set." ”
Wang Yong smiled and said: "Will I still lie to you?" In this way, if you want to lease it to me for development, you can send someone to survey it first, and then set a price with all the value counted, so that you will not suffer a loss." ”
Aaron thought about it, so he nodded and said, "Okay, we'll talk about the details after you choose the location." ”
Wang Yong took Aaron's hand, shook it up and down, and said: "Happy cooperation, I still have something to do, let's talk next time we meet, goodbye!" Aaron didn't know why Wang Yong was holding his hand and shaking it violently, but he still personally sent Wang Yong out of the house.
On the way back to the courtyard, Shirley asked, "Do you want to develop a kiln factory here?"
Wang Yong nodded and said, "I have this idea, but I can also just send resources back from here, although it is time-consuming and laborious, but it helps to keep the technology secret." ”
Shirley nodded and said: "That's fine, after all, the resources in the territory are limited, and when they are used up, there will be no more, and when we can save it, we have no technology, and we have to be restricted by those who have resources." ”
Danny asked puzzledly: "If we transport it back and forth, won't we need a lot of manpower? We don't seem to have enough manpower, even if that group of refugees arrives, it won't be enough." ”
Wang Yong sighed: "Yes, it seems that the research on space equipment has to be stepped up. ”
Shirley's eyes lit up, she glanced at Wang Yong deeply, and said yearningly: "Then you hurry up and study it, and you have to give me one after you make it, well, I want a beautiful space ring." ”
Seeing Shirley's strange eyes, Wang Yong hurriedly changed the topic and said, "It seems that we have to send someone over to investigate the resources here, and strive to get enough resources before Aaron realizes it." ”
Danny smiled and said, "Boss, you're too unkind, you can't catch a person who is going to die." Wang Yong smiled wickedly. (To be continued.) )
