Section 220 - When the procurement is in progress
Obviously, those stalkers are going to be out of luck.
"This guest, please sit inside!"
As if nothing had happened, the middle-aged strong man Wallen smiled at Lin Mo and comprador Curren.
But when he turned his gaze to "Duoyan", he became hot again, and said: "This Bellamy's war horse can be temporarily stored in our store, please rest assured, it will definitely be taken care of by the best, well, it is definitely the best." ”
"Then trouble Mr. Valen!"
Lin Mo let go of the reins, patted the horse's neck, and said, "'Duoyan', don't be naughty, be obedient, I'll come to you in a while!"
"Purr!"
Duoyan nodded and snorted in understanding.
Being able to understand human speech is one of the basic qualities of an excellent war horse.
"It's called 'Duoyan'!
Valen smiled and gave a small compliment, this Bellamy's horse was indeed well-trained.
A young man stepped out of the shop and took the reins, and "Duoyan" obediently followed the young man to the back of the shop, where there was the stables of the blacksmith shop.
Walking dozens of meters behind the store, Lin Mo and comprador Curran came to a small two-story building.
"Wait a minute, you two, I'll go and ask Mr. Campbell!"
Valen reached out and gestured to the large wooden table and bench in the bungalow.
"Very good, Mr. Valen. ”
Lin Mo nodded slightly, but instead of sitting on the bench with the comprador Curran, he casually looked at the layout in the room.
In addition to the wooden tables and benches, the first floor is like a tool room, with shelves placed against the wall around it, and the next room is neatly filled with rows of shelves.
Each row of shelves has about six floors, on which are placed a wide variety of metalwork, large and small, and of different shapes.
The metalwork was seen to be in excellent condition, with a faint sheen of oil. It seems that they have been oiled and treated with anti-rust treatment.
The first floor should be a sample exhibition, this mountain fire ironworks should have received many processing orders before, otherwise there would not be so much accumulation, and these shelves are also a show of strength.
There was a clanging sound outside, and the smell of fireworks was even stronger than on the street, and even in the room, you could still feel the atmosphere of hot labor.
Seeing Lin Mo looking at the entire room, comprador Curran smiled and said, "Lord Morin, the Mountain Fire Blacksmith is definitely one of the best in the blacksmith workshops in Dongcheng District. They also have the largest reserves of metals and ores, and I think it shouldn't be a problem to give you a little bit as long as the price is right. ”
"Hmm!"
Lin Mo nodded with satisfaction, it seems that this Curran is quite dedicated, and he is also familiar with the way, and he took him to one of the largest blacksmith workshops in Dongcheng District.
Where there are blacksmiths, there are ores, there are metal raw materials, and presumably several tons of metal must be purchased. It shouldn't be too much of a problem.
Soon there was footsteps from the ceiling, and a muscular, powerful man descended the stairs leading from the first floor to the second floor, and Valen was standing behind him.
"Mr. Campbell, is it?"
Lin Mo owed the other party a debt to show his appreciation.
"Yes. I am the proprietor of this blacksmith workshop, Campbell, and welcome to the Wildfire Ironworks, Mr. Morin. ”
The powerful man has a very strong voice. It was as if even the air was shaking.
"You're from a military background?"
Lin Mo saw the criss-crossing scars on the other party's body, even extending to his face, which was extremely terrifying.
"Yes. I am the commander of the Ganges Regiment of the former Northern Military Region, and now I am retired from the army, and I am eating with a group of old brothers. ”
Campbell didn't hide his former identity at all, and the sonorous meaning in his voice became stronger and stronger.
In fact, this is well known in Dongcheng District, not only him, but most of the people in the blacksmith workshop used to be soldiers, but they were left with a secret wound after years of fighting, and they could no longer continue to fight for the country, so they gathered together and opened a mountain fire ironshop to make a living by relying on exquisite skills and excellent quality.
"I see!"
Lin Mo straightened his waist and gave a chest thumping salute.
For soldiers, scars are the most beautiful military medals, and in Lin Mo's eyes, the criss-crossing scars on the other party's body are not ugly and hideous at all, but extremely beautiful, and they are thrillingly beautiful.
"You, who are you?"
The proprietor of the Mountain Fire Ironworks, who also beat his chest in return, looked at Lin Mo in disbelief, this kind of etiquette can only be used.
"That's right, I'm a soldier!"
"Hahaha, that's great, brother, let's have a drink at noon. ”
The chest-beating ceremony suddenly shortened the distance between the two sides, and Campbell's bold Ha Lu laughed and directly addressed each other as affectionate "brothers".
Even the man behind him, Valen, nodded vigorously, and the original little doubt in his heart was gone, no wonder the other party was riding a well-trained Bellamy warhorse.
Although the truth is a little different from what Valen thought, it is not too far off.
"No, no, I'm not very good at drinking, so, sorry!"
Although he was no longer a dragon knight, Lin Mo still remembered the ban on the air knight not being exposed to alcohol and other drinks and drugs with narcotic and nerve-stimulating effects, and he continued: "I want to purchase a batch of metal raw materials, if I can, I hope that your workshop can supply them for a long time in the future." ”
Purchasing a large amount of metal materials for a long time is a large expense burden, but for the upcoming industry at home, it should still be within the affordable range.
In fact, the "Magic Square" module of the left wrist of the "Dragon General" tactical armor is also a large consumer of metal materials, but it is in a dormant state that its demand for metal is not as eager as that of the big foodie of gold coins.
"How much do you need?"
Lin Mo was not polite, and his style of directly explaining his intentions did not make the proprietor angry because of this.
The soldiers have always been straightforward in their words and deeds, which only makes Campbell and Valen believe in each other's identities.
"The material is determined according to the price, stainless iron or steel, I need at least 100,000 catties, and I may need this number every month in the future. ”
The other party naturally didn't understand the unit of measurement "ton", and Lin Mo automatically converted it into a unit of weight in this world, of course, this catty is not the other catty, compared with the "catty" on the earth. It's a little lighter, but it's not too far off.
"So much?"
Campbell frowned, whether it was fine iron or steel, the inventory in the mountain fire ironworks was very abundant, but if it was only a few hundred catties, he might have responded on the spot, it was just a gesture, and there would be no loss by selling personal favors and making a new brother.
But the number of 100,000 catties made him have to weigh it, after all, this number is very sensitive. 100,000 catties of fine iron or steel per month is enough to arm a thousand-man team of weapons and armor from head to toe.
The purchase of so many metals in the imperial capital really has to be suspicious.
Seeing Campbell's doubts and vigilance, Lin Mo didn't bother anymore, took out the identity card of the royal guard and showed it to the other party, and said at the same time: "It's for private use!"
The identity card was only in the sight of the three of them, and the comprador Curran behind him only knew that Lu Dao Lin Mo took out a thing, but he didn't know what Lu Dao was.
The Imperial Guards!
Campbell was taken aback by Limmer's identity, but he had purchased so much metal for his own personal use. This "excuse" didn't seem to be too clever, he shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, no matter what the reason, it must be approved by the military department." I can sell you so much metal. ”
"The military department?"
Lin Mo tilted his head, it seems that these metal materials are not what he imagined, he can buy them if he wants, and there are other joints in them.
"Yes! Otherwise I wouldn't have sold you that much. ”
This is not an excuse. Campbell naturally understood what the possibility of so much metal flowing into the market would be, and he nodded in confirmation again.
As a former soldier of the Empire, even if he has retired. It is still impossible to become an accomplice against the empire for the sake of money.
"No problem!"
For the two girls in the family who work in the military department, Lin Mo said that there is no pressure, and even the joints of the military secretary Adelaide are not difficult to get through.
"Are you okay?" Campbell looked at Lin Mo with wide eyes, the other party's response was too simple, is it so easy to get the approval of the military department? Maybe you can't even enter the "Charge Horn" fortress.
Seeing that the doubts on the other party's face did not subside, Lin Mo gave a more affirmation, and said with a confident smile: "Really, you can send someone or verify it in person!"
Campbell and Valen looked at each other, and the other party really didn't seem to take it seriously, and it didn't seem that there was any reason to see it as he thought in his heart.
"That's it!"
Campbell naturally kept his word, nodded, and then turned his head to Valen beside him and said, "Valen, help me get a piece of parchment and a pen, and I'll write the price to Lord Morin." ”
"If there are other metal materials, please also help me write the unit price, well, the weight unit is in thousands of catties. ”
Lin Mo added.
"Good!"
Since the other party can follow the rules, then there is nothing to worry about, and Campbell has no objections.
It's just a price, it's nothing.
After a while, the satisfied Lin Mo took the reins of the mount "Duoyan" and left the mountain fire ironworks with the comprador Curron, as for the "little tails" behind him, they were naturally cleaned up by the snakes in the blacksmith workshop, and there was no trace of them again.
Things went well, and the owner of the blacksmith gave him a good price close to the purchase price.
This blacksmith's workshop has a fairly complete inventory, not only has a large number of iron and steel stock in stock, but also stocks more advanced metal raw materials such as heavy iron, black steel, tungsten gold, and even can provide a small amount of Mithril, that is, titanium, it seems that the comprador Curran did recommend a strong supplier.
The only requirement is that the Mountain Fire Iron Workshop has never done raw material wholesale business, because the quantity is huge, it cannot provide delivery services, and can only be picked up by Lin Mo, but for the talent space of the Silver Dragon Egg, there is no problem with this space occupation and portion.
"Lord Morin, can you really get the approval of the military department?"
The comprador Curron, who led Lin Mo to the magic crystal supplier, still couldn't imagine how to cross the layers of links and let the Imperial Military Department approve this kind of private purchase request, maybe he couldn't even submit the application.
When Lin Mo showed the identity card of the royal guard, he did not let Cur Lun, who was sitting at the wooden table, see it.
"Curran, this is not a difficult matter, even if it is the approval of His Majesty the Emperor, I can get it! Don't worry, there will be no trouble for you. ”
Lin Mo could naturally hear the worry behind Curran's question.
"That's good! I'm relieved!"
Curran breathed a long sigh of relief after receiving repeated reassurances.
As one of the ordinary ordinary people, when encountering any danger that exceeds their ability, they will naturally hide as far as they can.
In case one day the soldiers of the city defense army came to the door, and the sentence "You have a big problem, you have a big problem!" is enough to make his sky fall on the spot.
The magic crystal supplier introduced by Curran is located on the edge of the Delan City branch of the "Ogmi" Alchemy Alliance, and the two are less than a hundred steps apart, not only one of the giants that monopolize the supply of magic crystals in Delan City, but also deal in other alchemy raw materials.
Although there is no real scientific business philosophy, based on the original idea that it is easy to make a cake together, the operators of various industries in Deland City often spontaneously gather together to form a specific business circle, and the surrounding area is usually a gathering area of other industries with industry relevance, forming a natural industrial chain like a link, just like the most primitive assembly line.
For example, the famous alchemy commercial street where the two of them are located, "Spell Array Street", I don't know whether it is for showmanship or deliberate, the street is densely covered with all kinds of strange patterns, yes, just like the spell array, it often attracts people who come here for the first time to stop and study or admire these fine lines under their feet.
However, Lin Mo was not interested in looking at it, and his attention was completely focused on a building on the side of the street.
If the architectural style of the mountain fire ironworks is rough and simple, and the twelve-story high-rise building in front of you has a vague luxury and delicacy of a modern building in the earth world, if you don't confirm that you are in the imperial capital of Deland, you will suddenly think that you have seen a modern commercial shopping center.
The large light magic screen was constantly flickering with various pictures, and there was still beautiful music at the gate, and many people couldn't help but stop and watch, so that a large group of people surrounded the black press.
Lin Mo actually saw the sound source placed at the door.
He was not mistaken, there was also a long wire connected to a record player, on which a platter was turned, and the sound of the pre-recorded sound was amplified by the automatic conversion of the pickup, which was completely confirmed, it was a creation of earth technology.
"Oh! This is the record player and speaker that the 'Ogmi' Alchemy Alliance has just released! The Holy Flame Demon Crystal Club is really a luxury, it can be used so quickly, and the business seems to be very hot!"
Curran on the side listened to the beautiful voice and couldn't help but admire.
I see! Lin Mo glanced at Curran and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief-
(To be continued......)
