Levi quickly dispelled his absurd idea.

He thinks he is somewhat self-aware.

The other party owns an entire commercial street in Jishui City and is the creditor of half the nobles in the city. He is a commercial rival to Kelben, the lord of Jishui City.

And although he is still relatively well-known in the northern part of the Underdark, he is barely recognized as a lord and the boss of the "Black Mine" newly recognized by the drow of Gelthorn.

'It took a lot of effort to gain a mixed reputation on the surface. Maybe if you give him some time, he has absolute confidence that he will surpass him within ten years, but now he is just a little transparent person who has just emerged from the 'dark area'.

Why does this 'rich woman' want to date him?

Face?

Levi couldn't help but be amused by his magical brain circuitry.

At this moment, Xia Lanwei Luosi, who was sitting opposite him, added three small spoons of sugar to her black tea, stirred it casually, put it in her mouth and took a sip, and then asked in a confirming tone.

road:

"I just heard you say that you plan to open a new alchemy workshop in Kaishui City?"

"Not bad." Levi smiled.

"And in order to determine the price of similar products in the future, you went to my alchemy workshop and smashed it, threw a bag of gold coins and ran away. Don't you think that as a newbie in Jishui City?

As an outsider, aren’t you being too arrogant and domineering with this move? Aren’t you afraid of really making me angry? Hmm?”

It was not until this moment that Xia Lanwei Luosi raised her eyes and looked directly at the alternative silver dragon in front of her, which she had finally managed to calm down. She put a sugar spoon against her bright red lower lip and asked pretending to be angry.

Faced with such criticism, Li Wei calmly leaned back and praised without hesitation:

"I admire from the bottom of my heart that the Xialan Chamber of Commerce has been able to operate to such a pervasive level in a strange city in just a hundred years.

"And if Miss Xialan would easily get angry because of a little person like me and such unflattering actions, I don't think such a big heart can support such a Xialan Chamber of Commerce.

"If I were just relying on guesswork, I would never dare to make such a transgressive move.

"But Miss Xia Lan's reputation in Jishui City is so loud that even a new outsider like me has heard stories about Miss Xia Lan and the Xia Lan Chamber of Commerce more than once.

"Even the family of one of my friends was able to maintain a relatively decent life after the unfortunate bankruptcy due to the kindness of the Sharan Chamber of Commerce, and did not end up with his wife and children separated and his family destroyed.

"From this point on, I want to thank you on behalf of my friend, Miss Xia Lan.

"Even I don't know if the impulsive move I took today is because I admire Miss Xia Lan's name from the bottom of my heart and hope to attract your attention so that we can have this meeting.

"And when we met today, it really confirmed the old saying in my hometown: 'If you admire someone because of their good reputation, it would be better to meet him in person. But now that I see him in person, I feel more impressed than in the rumors.

I am amazed'.

"By the way, Miss Xia Lan, you are so beautiful."

When he said this last sentence, Levi's eyes never moved away from the other person, as if he were admiring a piece of art that is hard to find in the world.

As for Xia Lanwei Luosi, who was sitting across from her, she had never seen such a "shameless" dragon like Li Wei, who usually lived in seclusion.

As soon as she opened her mouth, a barrage of praise and admiration poured out like the opening of the Three Gorges. Her brain, which could usually easily calculate the massive accounts of the entire Xialan Chamber of Commerce, briefly fell into a small blank.

The whole dragon was confused

When I heard the last sentence, "You're so beautiful," a pink blush spread from her neck to her cheeks at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her head almost started to smoke.

And what countless facts have proven is that even if a handsome guy and a passerby use the same set of lines to praise girls, the effects will be completely different.

Obviously, at least in Xia Lanwei Luosi's 'eyes', Li Wei was as handsome as a domineering president in the storybook, and he was able to seduce her as soon as he opened his mouth.

In order to cover up her panic and confusion, she directly picked up the hot black tea she had just brewed and drank half the cup in one gulp, trying to calm down her overloaded brain.

The results are self-evident. As a subspecies of the silver dragon, the steel dragon has poor resistance to high heat. Although the dragon has a naturally high resistance, even boiling water may not really bring real meaning to the dragon.

Despite the trauma, the steel dragon's naturally sensitive cat-like tongue still caused Xia Lanweilosi to suffer a lot under the ravages of this high fever.

In order to maintain her dignity and dignity in front of her "younger generations", she could not spit out the hot black tea.

If she really spit it out in front of the other party, her image of Xia Lanwei Luosi would be completely ruined!

So Xia Lanwei Luosi puffed her cheeks slightly, and her big eyes staring at Li Wei were instantly filled with tears of grievance, shining brightly.

After a while, she forced herself to swallow the "bitter" tea, bit the sugar spoon in her hand, and said with some embarrassment:

"I'm not as good as you said. Do you want to see my joke?"

Li Wei was also slightly dumbfounded by Xia Lanwei Luosi's reaction.

Why this reaction?

It's also because Levi has traveled through so many years and hasn't had much contact with any normal members of the opposite sex other than drow, so his behavior and habits are still stuck in Blue Star.

In that world, before meeting a girl for the first time, it has almost become a basic operation to check the other person's circle of friends, then praise the other person based on their preferences and then extend the topic.

And those girls who have been regarded as the apple of their eye and have been surrounded by all kinds of praise since childhood are basically "immune" to this, but at least being praised can still make them feel happy and get a good start.

Therefore, in Li Wei's opinion, elite businessmen like Xia Lanwei Luosi should be more 'immune' to such clichés, even if his words are somewhat sincere.

And the female mage in front of me is indeed very good-looking.

But Li Wei didn't have many dealings with this type of girls. Seeing that the other party didn't seem to like this kind of opening remarks, he had to quickly say bluntly:

"Miss Xia Lan, I apologize to you if these words were abrupt.

"Eh"

Li Wei's reaction, which could be called a steel dragon, also caught Xia Lanwei Luosi off guard. After being stunned for a moment, she felt a little disappointed and regretful.

At this time, Li Wei had already changed the topic:

"But what I want to say is that after today's evaluation of your workshop's enchanting equipment, I think that our entry should not have a big impact on your workshop's sales."

Seeing Li Wei talking about market issues in her field of expertise, Xia Lanwei Luosi calmed down, sat upright and said:

"Are you planning to take the low-end product route? In that case, there won't be much profit left."

"No, strictly speaking, we are planning to take the high-volume mid- to low-end route." Levi denied, shaking his finger.

Before Xia Lanwei Luosi could ask what the difference between the two was, Li Wei had already taken out a two-handed long sword produced from the Hog Mining Assembly Line from his ring, presented it in front of the opponent with both hands, and asked

:

"What do you think of this sword?"

Xia Lanwei Luosi glanced at it and saw that the whole long sword did not have many unnecessary decorations. It was just an ordinary two-handed knight's long sword.

She stretched out her hand and flicked the sword's spine. Looking at the buzzing and trembling sword, she couldn't help but say:

"It's a pretty good long sword, but the quality can only be considered average. If we can get a large number of standard orders from the army, we can still make a lot of profits, but for ordinary knights or adventurers

, if the price is not more than 30% lower than the high-quality products on the market, I’m afraid it is”

Levi suddenly laughed and said: "But I didn't say that I would sell it completely to knights or adventurers. It is said that there are often wild beasts and even trolls in the north of Jishui City, so I think the citizens of Jishui City also need weapons and armor.

For self-defense.”

Xia Lanwei Luosi was amused by Li Wei: "How can ordinary people afford a long sword of such quality? You may not know that even if they buy an ax or a sickle, they may have to plan for a long time.

, this is considered a situation when our per capita income in Jishui City is relatively comfortable."

"Oh? What if I sell it for 20 silver coins? Do you think they will buy it?" Levi continued to ask with a smile.

Xia Lanwei Luosi's face suddenly froze, and then her eyes widened: "Are you kidding?"

But she was only halfway through her words when she suddenly stopped because the guy sitting in front of him was looking at her calmly from beginning to end.

"He didn't lie to me, he just planned to sell it for 20 silver. This is crazy!" She read the serious look in Levi's eyes.

As a businessman involved in many businesses, she can memorize the cost of various models of products in her workshop. Even the cost price of such a long sword is more than 20 silver!

And 20 silver is still a lot of wealth for most common people in Jishui City, and it may take more than half a year to save it.

But if they could exchange their savings for more than half a year for a life-saving weapon, many people would be happy to do so.

By then, I'm afraid many businessmen will be crazy about it.

Because if you buy a weapon at this price, you will make a profit!

They could just stock up a batch of goods and sell them to Amn, Tethyr, Calinshan, or even Cormanthor!

Li Wei added at this time: "But I am not an idiot who has money but cannot make money. The shipments at this price are only 10,000 pieces per month. After our Hoge Mining brand is launched, the estimated price

It will explore slightly higher."

‘Ten thousand pieces? Still only???’

Xia Lanwei Luosi felt like she was going crazy.

At this time, Levi showed a devilish smile: "You heard me right, and I call this, hunger marketing, what do you think?"

Xia Lanwei Luosi looked a little frustrated, then stared at Li Wei with some unwillingness and asked: "Have you mastered the method of large-scale mass production of this standard weapon?"

The smile on Levi's face suddenly turned a little hateful: "Business secrets, no disclosure."

Xia Lanwei Luosi couldn't help but glare at her. She took a deep breath and forced herself to endure the urge of her incarnation to press her opponent to the ground with one claw and rub her.

Seeing that the beautiful female mage felt unhappy, Li Wei had already completed his main purpose today, so he naturally took advantage of the donkey path down the slope:

"But as an apology for today's offense, I also brought two small gifts to Miss Xia Lan."
