Alien Arms Empire

  Chapter 76 76 This world is boring

Seemingly feeling that he had bargained too hard, John pretended to ponder again and stretched out four fingers: "Forty thousand! We are the best friends in the world, aren't we? Our friendship lasts forever. Tianchang! There will always be wine to welcome you in Yangmu Kingdom. I promise you that next time you come here, I will give you the best wine and the most beautiful girl!”

"John! What woman is worth 60,000 gold coins? You have to know that 5,000 K1 guns are enough for your country to sweep across the battlefield, defeat your enemies, and double the country's territory!" Tang Mo waved his hand disdainfully .

 Are you kidding? He is not King You of Zhou. He doesn't understand who would give up his career for a woman. Those who were obsessed with life and money in the later period were things that happened in the later period. How can anyone be obsessed with Wenrouxiang during the entrepreneurial period?

But speaking of elf girls... Tang Mo, a veteran who has read countless people in his previous life, really wants to see them. After all... there is no man who doesn't like to collect...

Seeing Tang Mo enter (fei) concentration (fei) like an old (xiang) monk (ru), John couldn't help but give him a thumbs up in his heart! He really admired such a man who was so calm in his pregnancy, so he couldn't help but take another look at Tang Mogao.

After being silent for a while, he could only throw out another condition: "If...I promise you, the next time I come to Bunas, I will bring you an appointment, signed by His Majesty the King of Poplar Kingdom personally. Appointment letter, appointing you as a baron of the kingdom... Are you willing to consider giving your friend a cheaper price? "

His words stunned Tang Mo for a second, because sometimes noble status is really useless, but sometimes it is really a golden sign.

With the status of a noble, it may be easier to do anything, and you will not even cause trouble from other nobles.

What's more, with the blessing of being a noble, he can be equal in status when selling weapons and negotiating with other nobles, and he will not be a dwarf.

Of course, the higher the status, the greater the importance the other party will attach to it, which will also bring benefits to the negotiation. Naturally, Tang Mo will not ignore this potential benefit.

Furthermore, it is not easy to be promoted from a commoner to a noble. The noble status in some countries is still very valuable.

 In short, having a noble name is actually very necessary for Tang Mo, so Tang Mo is happy to pay a certain price to buy himself a nice name.

"Well... I can think about it." Tang Mo pretended to think deeply and did not agree immediately. He knew that the price he offered was not something that John could easily get now.

As long as he doesn't nod, the other party will definitely come up with other prices - he is very confident in his weapons and the steam engines and other related equipment that make them.

Sure enough, John soon lost his composure and said again: "I can keep some sailors and let them become your subordinates! They can control the ship for you, and they can do anything for you...even if I hope Rick really makes it impossible for you to survive here, and they will protect you and take you away safely. "

Tang Mo nodded slightly. Being able to get some sailors, sailors from the Elf race, was definitely good news for him.

As John said, these elven sailors can at least provide Tang Mo with another way to escape. When Count Fisherow failed and the Cyric plutocrat liquidated him as a "heretic", he at least had a way to escape. Not a bad escape route.

Therefore, Tang Mo reluctantly cut off his flesh and gave up a large amount of profit: "This is very interesting to me... At least, you have provided me with some choices. My friend, so be it, 80,000 gold coins! I am willing to do it for you Erase the entire profit of 20,000 gold coins!”

Standing aside, Weiss almost covered his face. He knew the price of a rifle produced by Tang Mo. Eighty thousand gold coins was absolutely an astronomical figure for Tang Mo who had spent almost all the money in his hand.

  The actual situation is that Tang Mo already owes a lot of money, including part of the cement he owed on credit from the cement factory in Bunas, and the payment from the tannery factory has not been settled...

 So, if John knew about Tang Mo's current predicament, he insisted that he would only give Tang Mo 10,000 gold coins. In the end, Tang Mo had to think about it and was forced to agree.

But the fact is that John doesn't know Tang Mo's current situation, and he really hopes to get what Tang Mo has in his hands - these technologies are really too tempting, even Weiss has to admit this.

 At least when he saw the revolver for the first time, Weiss himself could not resist the temptation. He was even willing to give up his identity as a ranger and become Tang Mo's retainer for two revolvers.

John finally had no choice but to give the highest offer he could afford: "Fifty thousand! There are only so many gold coins I can offer now! I even gave you the sailboat! I really only have so much!"

 After he finished speaking, he leaned back on his chair, looking exhausted: "This is the highest price I can give."

“Then you won’t buy production equipment? That’s more than 50,000 gold coins!” Tang Mo asked with a smile. After thinking for a few minutes, John looked at Tang Mo and showed the most sincere expression: "If you are willing to believe me, I have another solution."

Tang Mo probably guessed what John was thinking, but he did not refuse in a hurry. Instead, he said, "Tell me, my friend."

Sure enough, John came up with installment payment, a payment method commonly used in large-scale business: "We can deliver the design fee for the production of rifles in several installments. When I come next time, I will bring the Baron's voucher and another part. The gold coins are coming.”

 In fact, Tang Mo has also considered this method, but he has to admit that Tang Mo is still very weak now, so this payment method is a bit too risky for Tang Mo.

Tang Mo asked John: "But if you don't come, where can I find you? My friend."

"So, this requires your trust and a reasonable price. If you are willing to wait four months, I can promise to accept your design fee at the price of 80,000 gold coins!" John offered his own price. : "I will raise gold coins and a fleet after I go back. I don't have to wait for a year, it will only take up to 4 months for my fleet to arrive in Bunas!"

"No matter how big the cake is, it's still a painted cake, my friend! You just promised to give me 200,000 gold coins... In the end, you broke the promise and I won't get the money back, right?" Tang Mo looked at John , shaking the low-quality moonshine wine in the glass, and said teasingly.

"You should not question a noble's promise, nor should you question the integrity of an elf!" John felt that he was offended by Tang Mo.

"Then... let me repeat what you plan to pay." Tang Mo pointed to the fleet in the distance: "You will use ten armed merchant ships, all the sailors on them, and all the gold coins in your hand. The title of a baron, which is equivalent to about 70,000 gold coins... plus the subsequent payment of another 80,000 gold coins... to purchase 100 K1 fast guns and supporting equipment, 200 revolvers and supporting equipment, and their related manufacturing technology, A set of production equipment…”

"Absolutely! It depends on whether your machinery and equipment are as magical as you said." John nodded and looked at Tang Mo.

"Deal!" Tang Mo said with a smile: "You and your people can leave at any time to visit my factory! We can sign a contract there, at any time."

"Buy these samples! Count the gold coins and give them to him!" John ordered the captain behind him: "Take the sailors, let's follow...my new friend...Mr. Tang Mo, to see his factory!"

As he spoke, he stood up and adjusted his collar: "We don't have our own carriage, so we have to use yours, my friend!"

“What an honor!” Tang Mo also stood up and made an invitation gesture: “I promise, you will never be disappointed during this visit.”

The two carriages slowly drove out of the dock, followed by two teams of sailors drawn from the ship.

These sailors were also carrying Cyric's flintlock guns. They were not moving very fast, and many workers and city guards on the dock could see them clearly.

"Hey! Isn't that the carriage from Tang's workshop? How come they got together with the elves from the Poplar Kingdom?" A worker stepped on the sack under his feet, sizing up the elf guards next to the carriage, and muttering in confusion. .

"Hey... who knows..." Another worker carried a sack, and the heavy sack pressed on his shoulders, making it difficult for him to speak: "I said, what does the matter of these big shots have to do with you? …”

In the brightly lit office, the mayor waved to a confidant who had just come to deliver a letter, and his brows furrowed involuntarily.

The Yangmu Kingdom's fleet docked in Bunas, and it was impossible for him, the mayor, to ignore it. Although he is a corrupt official, a mediocre official, and often does nothing...but this does not mean that he is stupid.

The people he arranged to watch the fleet on the dock naturally brought back the news that Tang Mo had boarded the elf's ship, and at the same time he also brought back the news that the elf and Tang Mo's carriage left at the same time.

For him, the "Tang's Workshop" located on the outskirts of Bunas became more and more mysterious and troublesome - things may have been beyond his control, which made him feel pressured.

At this moment, in the carriage, Tang Mo was answering Weiss's question about his exaggerated sales image: "Why exaggerate? Because I sell weapons that kill people! Weiss! If you are not happy and self-centered, you will be miserable." I might drive myself crazy with depression! The weapons I sell now can allow soldiers to kill people five times faster! The weapons I sell in the future may allow people to kill people ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times faster... Think about it. …Am I being exaggerated now? No! I’m already restrained!”

He leaned against the carriage of the carriage and said, not sure whether to himself or to Weiss: "This world is boring. If you don't find some fun yourself, what's the point?"
