"Didn't you take the opportunity to ask for more benefits, like buying an iron ore or something. Jia Yi squinted his eyes and said a little cheaply.

Selena glanced at Jia Yi and hurriedly said: "If you are a white-robed mage yourself now, and come forward in person, they will probably sell us an iron mine, or you say that the Orlando mage will come forward in person, otherwise how can they sell the iron ore." The willingness to accept our terms and supply us with raw materials is already a big concession. ”

Although Selena said this, she actually thought about it when those chambers of commerce gave in, but she was dispelled by Eunice, and what she said to Jiayi now is almost a copy of Eunice. The strong have capricious capital, but neither Jiayi nor the Valoka Chamber of Commerce are considered strong.

Although it is said that Orlando Mage also has shares in the Chamber of Commerce, and there are quite a few of them, most of the time it only plays a nominal role, and then it is to customize a few relatively high-end products for auction publicity. If this wasn't Jiayi's first business, and Imu wrote a letter to intercede, Orlando wouldn't look down on this chamber of commerce. Of course, Jiayi's whimsy also played a big role.

Just by naming it, the Chamber of Commerce has been greatly facilitated, and it is inappropriate to disturb Orlando for ordinary small things, as long as the main person in charge of the Chamber of Commerce has not had an accident. Even Jia Yi rarely interferes in the operation of the Chamber of Commerce, after all, he is not familiar with it, and this can be regarded as the master's style inherited from the mages.

Jia Yi was robbed by Selena, and pouted helplessly: "I'm just talking, but we don't have an iron mine, what should we do if they card us like this in the future?"

"Actually, when it comes to iron ore, we do have the opportunity to buy one. Eunice whispered.

If it weren't for Jia Yi's deaf eyes and eyes, he almost didn't hear it, he quickly sat up and asked, "What do you say?"

Jia Yi thought that he was a major shareholder no matter what he said, he should do something for the Chamber of Commerce, and when he went to the academy, the tuition fees and magic materials needed would have to be subsidized by the money earned by the Chamber of Commerce.

Eunice didn't want to bother Kaichi, and she knew that mages weren't interested in anything other than magic, but she didn't know that Kaichi had recently been stuck in a rut in his research and wanted to change his mind.

Seeing Jiayi's question, Eunice said: "In the north of the High Cullen Mountains, there is an iron mine, which belongs to a small chamber of commerce, but now that the iron mine has a problem, they are not able to keep the iron mine running, and if we take over, it is not impossible." ”

Jia Yi asked: "There are really mines that sell, but can we take them? Aren't the other chambers of commerce interested?"

"Of course not, but it's the easiest thing for us to get our hands on. Eunice said.

"Then what's the situation with this iron mine, how can anyone want to sell it, is the Chamber of Commerce that holds it bankrupt?"

Selena said, "What does it mean to be bankrupt?"

Jia Yi said: "It's just that there is no money, there is nothing, and the money owed cannot be repaid." "Jia Yi doesn't know exactly how to define modern bankruptcy, but roughly speaking, it means being insolvent and then liquidating and selling it all to pay back to creditors.

"Although it is not bankrupt, if the problem of iron ore cannot be solved, it is estimated that it will almost go bankrupt. "That little merchant bought a hill on the edge of the High Coulomb Mountains, originally bought as a woods for the timber business, but unexpectedly found iron ore underneath the mountain. It's just that this chamber of commerce is not large, and this iron mine has been coveted by the rest of the chambers of commerce from the beginning, or the president of their chamber of commerce has the ability to go around and maintain the iron mine. ”

"So what's wrong now? ”

"There is a problem with that iron mine, the quality of the iron ore on the surface is not bad, but after digging to the bottom, the quality of the iron ore becomes very poor, and the iron smelted becomes very brittle. But they didn't know that the small chamber of commerce didn't know how long they could hold this iron mine, so they wanted to sell more iron and signed contracts with many chamber of commerce people. Now the quality of their iron has changed dramatically, and they are at risk of losing their trust. It is estimated that they also thought that it would be good if they could quickly hollow out the iron ore. ”

At the end, Eunice shook her head, a little pitiful for the greed of the chamber of commerce. If they weren't so aggressive and took a lot of orders, they wouldn't have fallen into the current crisis.

"And that's not the worst of it. Selena added, "When they were digging down, they opened an underground cavern, which is said to be infested with monsters, and now not only the quality of the iron ore has been greatly reduced, but the miners are afraid to go down, and it is said that the miners in the mine die every day from the attacks of monsters." ”

When Jia Yi heard this, he frowned: "It's okay to say that there are monsters, after all, I am also a mage, and even if I can't solve it, there is still a master and ancestor, but if the quality of this iron ore is not good, then what's the use of taking it down?"

"We don't make weapons, we mainly make table clocks now, and it's not a big problem if the steel is brittle," Eunice said. Even bicycles, except for places with high demand for toughness, such as wheel spokes, can replace a large part with these slightly inferior steels. And having their own iron ore means that the rest of the big chambers of commerce can take control of us a lot less, and we don't have to look at their faces, and we can't trouble Mage Orlando every time. ”

"Besides, aren't you still there? You're so smart, you might be able to solve the problem of the quality of iron ore. Selena on the side added.

Jiayi was noncommittal, he didn't have any research on iron ore, but he thought it should be because there were too many impurities and the taste of the ore declined. In his previous life, he had heard that the taste of domestic iron ore was not good, and in order to train good steel, he had to import a large amount of refined iron ore from Australia. It's just that it can't solve this problem well in modern times, and he doesn't have much confidence in himself. However, it is said that this kind of iron ore often has more associated ores, such as copper ore or something, which is not worthless.

The reason why more iron is used to make table clocks is because copper is more expensive.

"Speaking of which, this iron mine is not only attacked by monsters, but also of low quality, with internal and external troubles, and there are still people who want to rob us?"

"It's Memphelbo, as the imperial capital and the largest chamber of commerce in the empire, they have more products, and in order to maintain their dominance, they need to master more resources, and they also have enough financial resources, and they will not give up if they have the opportunity to master more iron ore. There is also the Blood Red Rose, who is said to be supported by a princess behind them, and their strength should not be underestimated. It's a bit like us, because the development is too fast, so the foundation is insufficient, so we are desperate to get more resources. ”

"Is that all?" Jia glared at Eunice's chest, not wanting to hear a negative answer.

Eunice said: "Mainly these two, although there are other chambers of commerce that want to get involved, but if they are either weak or scared away by Monfilbo, don't care too much." ”

"Memphelbo is so ruthless, and a name alone can scare off competitors, so do we have a chance of winning?"

Eunice shook his head and said: "Actually, our biggest opponent is not Meffil Bo, although they are the most famous, but this iron mine has a lot of problems after all, and the other party is just a routine acquisition, and it doesn't pay too much attention, as long as we are willing to pay the price, the chances of winning are still greater." What needs to be paid attention to is the blood red rose, they were originally gathered by widows born in the war, and then slowly grew stronger, in addition to a princess, they are also inextricably linked with the military. This has led to their aggressive behavior, and it's hard to say whether many of the chambers that quit were because of Monfilbow or Scarlet Rose. ”

"I'll just ask the last sentence. Jia Yi's expression was solemn, which made Eunice and the others nervous, "Compared to Master Orlando, who is more powerful." ”

Eunice rolled her eyes angrily, feeling like her eyeballs were about to pop out, and said, "Orlando Mage." ”

Jia has a feeling of complacency in an instant, it seems that the world is big, and everything can be obtained, and at the same time, he can't help but feel the system himself in his heart - obscene development, don't wave!
