Chapter 492 The dwarf whose family owns a mine
Looking at the price list in his hand, Wildhammer scratched his head involuntarily, looked at the smiling old John in surprise, and couldn't help but ask softly:
"No, although we have a good relationship."
"But as Gu Dongfang said, brothers, you have to settle accounts clearly. You can't do a loss-making business!"
Old John, who thought Wildhammer was going to bargain, couldn't help but froze his eyes slightly.
The price of each piece of modified weapons and equipment is at least 200 gold coins.
For each of these 10 types of weapons and equipment, an order of 1,000 pieces would be worth 1 million gold coins.
What about the cost?
Excluding the manufacturing cost and the R&D manufacturer's bonus, it only requires 250,000 gold coins to complete!
A full 300% profit!
Just like that, Wildhammer still thinks the price is too low!
What does this mean?
The price you sell yourself is too cheap!
Of course, the price of this batch of supplies has now been set, and the lord has stated that he wants to have a good relationship with the dwarf kingdom.
Then, raising the price will not bring much benefit, but may annoy the dwarves.
This is not a good deal!
Old John reminded him in his heart that although the Gulf Territory was able to produce many high-quality and low-priced weapons and equipment due to its excellent production capacity.
But it doesn’t mean that these equipments have to be sold too cheap!
The equipment provided by the Gulf Territory to the Third and Eighth Legions and the Dwarf Kingdom can be cheap.
That's because our relationship is good enough and we are negotiating a brother's price. If we want to sell it to someone else, we will naturally have to think carefully about it.
With this thought in his heart, Old John's expression did not change at all, and he still happily explained to Wildhammer:
"Haha, you don't have to worry about this, even though we are brothers."
"However, we will never lose money, we will just make less money."
"But for the sake of our friendship, these concessions are nothing."
Upon hearing what Old John said, Wildhammer, who thought he had taken a big advantage, quickly muttered, shook his head, and said without thinking:
"That's not okay, we can't take advantage of our brothers!"
Old John tried to persuade him for a long time, but the dwarf's stubborn side showed up again, and Wildhammer refused to agree to the price no matter what.
Elio, who rushed over to collect some information, secretly looked at Old John with admiration:
"Sure enough, you still have to study hard."
"Not only do we sell things at high prices, but we also let others appreciate our affection and appreciate our kindness."
Seeing that such a stalemate was not a problem, Elio suddenly had an idea and said from the side:
"Old John, let me ask you at the military factory, have the fine gold and mithril purchased from Sewenden arrived? They are in urgent need of materials for production..."
After hearing this, Old John noticed Elio's probing gaze and turned his head quickly. He followed her words and shook his head with a wry smile:
"Where are the resources? It's a good thing that Sevedon hasn't taken them away from us..."
This situation has not happened before.
The Sewington Parliament cannot mobilize nobles below the earl, but they can mobilize some precious strategic materials.
Therefore, most of the mineral resources in the Gulf Territory are well hidden.
Those exposed have basically been "produced" and "consumed".
For example, the space crystals produced by the Hollow Lizards and the rubies mined from the ruby veins, most of which can be found in Blood Moon City.
Wildhammer, who understood this situation, naturally understood that Old John was not talking nonsense.
The speaker is intentional and the listener is intentional.
The excited Wildhammer immediately took over and said:
"Isn't it just some precious metals? Our dwarf kingdom has a lot of them!"
"If nothing else, I just brought a batch here, just enough to provide emergency response to the brothers!"
As he spoke, Wildhammer began to take out things.
Old John, who was ecstatic, quickly stopped his behavior and comforted him with sincerity:
"Good brother, we really need this thing, and we are willing to buy it at the original price."
"It's enough for us to know these good things, so as not to let others know..."
When he said this, Old John pointed his lips angrily in the direction of Sevedon.
Wildhammer reacted and laughed happily, nodding cautiously:
"This is indeed..."
If there is anything good, why don’t you keep some for yourself?
Wildhammer made up his mind and left some extra wheat wine. This kind of thing is too common.
Old John took Wildhammer to a special living room, put a table of brand-new wine and food in the kitchen, and happily discussed the deal with him.
It's not appropriate to negotiate deals like this with other people, but it's an exception with dwarves.
If it were in the past, although Old John thought he had a good drinker, he would never think that he could compete with the dwarf known as the "Wine Barrel".
However, after four intensive surgical transformations.
Old John obviously found that his resistance to strong alcohol was much stronger, and his appetite increased at least once.
At first, like other soldiers undergoing surgical transformation, he felt a little scared.
Arnold, who knew the inside story better, even mocked him with this:
"I told you to study hard, but you didn't listen to any of them."
"The Lord has long said that the principle of surgical transformation is to further strengthen the structure and parts of our human body."
"Now that you are stronger, you will naturally consume more energy. Shouldn't your appetite increase?"
The words are easy to understand and immediately put everyone at ease.
Old John was right. Apart from having a larger appetite and being more energetic, he really didn't see any other disadvantages.
In this case, Old John looked away and quickly enjoyed the benefits of physical changes.
Drinking wine is just a small side function.
Knowing that he would not suffer a loss, Wildhammer happily made a large deal with the Gulf Leader worth more than 5 million gold coins.
They will receive a large amount of food and various supplies for combat from the Gulf Territory.
The spell scrolls and magic potions that the dwarves are in urgent need of can also be replenished in time.
And the prices are quite cost-effective, even lower than the current market price.
This makes Wildhammer very dissatisfied.
Not to mention, the Gulf Territory does not insist on needing gold coins to make purchases.
The Gulf Territory is very happy to accept the exchange for various rare metals produced by the dwarf kingdom, or high-end weapons and equipment produced by them.
Such a pleasant cooperation will be of great benefit to both parties.
Matthew also used various data revealed by Wildhammer to deduce that there are more than 10 rare and expensive metal veins in the large area occupied by the Dwarf Kingdom.
"As expected of a dwarf who has a mine at home, his family is rich."
Alio, who came to report, asked curiously:
"Do other areas of the Netheril Empire really have no spare capacity to support the dwarves?"
Recalling the powerful drow coalition, the gray dwarf kingdom that was forced to flee, and the true darkness hidden deep underground, Matthew shook his head and said with emotion:
