Chapter 42 The Plotter
"You can call me Tang An. I don't know if the plotter has been sold. If it is sold, then we will really have a waste of time." Tang An said with a smile. He tried his best to slow down his speech and show that calmness and momentum, although he was very nervous.
If the other party really sells it, the line that has intersection with the great craftsman Hegrik will be broken.
Of course, Tang An didn't want to see such a thing happen.
After all, you can buy a plotter with 20 gold coins, and this transaction is definitely a sure profit. Even if you buy and hoard, and then go to the gray hall to sell it after a while, it is quite suitable.
Moreover, after the possibility of becoming the other party's apprentice was no longer there, Tang An had only the path of "doing business".
Hegrik smiled at this time, "That's not."
Tang An felt relieved, as long as it was not sold. He said at this time: "I don't know, can we go and have a look, oh by the way, who is this?"
Tang An asked, pointing at Lin Zifeng, who looked bad-looking there.
Hegrik thought he could sell some garbage at home, so he was in a good mood. He smiled and said, "That's my newly accepted apprentice. Lin, hey, why are you still here? Go to work quickly? Your foundation is too poor and you need to work harder."
Lin Zifeng did not dare to disobey and nodded quickly, but obviously, his face was full of hatred, and most importantly, he was a little nervous, even uneasy and scared.
The great craftsman Hegrik has been regarded as a "private territory" by him and no other "players" are allowed to step in. Today, Tang An and Yang Baoguang knock on the door, and he was very nervous and very hostile.
Lin Zifeng is now like a slut dog protecting food.
Tang An could understand Lin Zifeng's idea, but there was no reason to give in to this matter. Why would you not let others in when you come in?
Hegrik's home is very large. Tang An and Yang Baoguang followed each other to a warehouse, which was filled with all kinds of debris. Sometimes they were not cleaned frequently and were already covered with ashes.
After searching for a while, Hegrik pointed to something and said, "It's this one, which I made in my early years, but it has been abandoned for a long time, but it has no problem using it."
Tang An stepped forward and touched it with his hands.
The system prompt appears immediately. There is no doubt that this is a useful plotter. This thing is only used in the plot world to draw maps, but when placed in the gray hall, it will become a crucial prop. You can use the map in the plot world to open the portal.
Although it has fallen into dust, the materials, texture and workmanship are impeccable.
Tang An was naturally moved.
If possible, he would definitely take down the plotter. Of course, Tang An was still calculating in his heart how to get it and what price to get it.
"How is it?" Hegrik asked.
Tang An stood up: "I am worthy of being a great craftsman. I am very satisfied with the things, but..."
Hegrik frowned: "But what?"
Obviously, as a craftsman, Hegrick doesn't like anything he dares to question his works.
Tang An naturally knew this, and he smiled and said, "You misunderstood. From the first sight of it, I was impressed by its exquisite workmanship."
Hegrik's brows only felt relieved when he heard this.
"The only problem is that this plotter is a work from more than ten years ago. Now there are very few people who are willing to buy it. Otherwise, you would have sold it long ago, so I hope you can rethink it in terms of selling price." Tang An started to make a price.
This is normal.
Because if it was 20 gold coins, Tang An could not take it out at all, and he might not be able to take it out in a short period of time, so it is of course something he could not ask for to reduce the price.
When he said this, Tang An showed his sincerity. Hegrik also thought for a while and said, "Then do you think it's appropriate to make a lot of money?"
Old fox.
Tang An cursed in his heart, but of course he couldn't say this. He thought for a moment and spoke: "10 gold coins."
Hegrik immediately shook his head: "It's not even worth the price of the materials. It seems that you don't really want to buy it."
When Tang An saw the situation, he knew that he had cut the price too hard. The other party was obviously not a shortage of money, so he couldn't cut the price too hard.
Tang An said at the moment: "You misunderstood. I really like this work. If I have sufficient funds, I will spend 20 gold coins to buy it without hesitation. But the gold coins have not been raised yet, so why not do this. I also think that bargaining is a "blasphemy" of your work. Good works cannot be measured with money. I firmly believe that this is not a matter of money. But I really can't afford 20 gold coins at the moment, but I can pay the deposit of 5 gold coins first. I hope you don't sell this work to others. At the same time, I can give me some time to raise gold coins. Maybe a few days or more, I will pay the remaining money. Please be sure to agree."
After these words, Tang An expressed his satisfaction with the work, and at the same time he praised the other party in various ways, especially Tang An's words, "A good work cannot be measured with money." Tang An did not say that your work is good, but this sentence has already shown his attitude.
As a craftsman, what he likes to hear the most is to praise his works, and Tang An's words, at least in Hegrik's ears, are quite novel.
What's more, Tang An also showed his "sincerity" and directly paid a deposit of 5 gold coins first.
You know, this is also a considerable amount of money. In Rhine Town, not many people can take out so many gold coins at once. So, this is the attitude. If Tang An just talks without paying some real money, Hegrik would not believe it. Now, he has at least gained preliminary trust.
After all, this old plotter can only fall into dust when placed here, and he really needs gold coins to buy some expensive materials now, so he nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then that's it."
Tang An hurriedly paid 5 gold coins.
The five golden coins that Yang Baoguang saw behind him were just in the hands of others, and he was still a little reluctant to let it go.
"You come to my study and I will write an agreement to guarantee everyone." Hegrik has the rigorous character of a craftsman and is meticulous in doing things.
Tang An nodded.
When he went out, he noticed that there were other things in this place like a warehouse, which Tang An couldn't recognize, but obviously, they should be all works by Hegrik.
Some of them are like astronomical telescopes, some are like safes, and some are like armor, but they are definitely not the kind of defensive items made of iron. Tang An noticed that there are a large number of gears in this armor, and the complex structure is simply amazing.
Obviously, these may be good things.
