Ding Kui waved his hand to the cement factory guards to retreat. They made so much noise at the low wall that they attracted several small teams of guards. The industrial area of Juyang City is protected by dedicated personnel, most of whom are old and disabled veterans with strong combat capabilities.
Far better than ordinary people.
"The price of cement is very cheap. If you bring it all the way to the Gu Yuan Empire, the freight cost will account for 60 to 70%. It is not suitable for me to sell it to you." Ding Kui hesitated.
"It doesn't matter! I'll build a fleet to transport it. Our own industry can reduce costs. Dear brother, can't I just order some cement?" Ji Chan was eager to play the emotional card.
He was afraid that Ding Kui would not sell him cement. Cement was more important to the people of the Ancient Yuan Empire than alcohol.
"Haha, don't worry, brother." Ding Kui reached out to help Ji Chan dust off the magic robe, "As for the cement, I really don't consider selling it to you."
He held down Ji Chan who was anxious to speak.
"I'm considering cooperating with you in production. To put it bluntly, I will provide production technology and you will build a factory in the Ancient Yuan Empire. How about it?"
Ji Chan looked at Ding Kui with an incredulous expression. He subconsciously pulled Hua Juan with one hand and said, "Are you really willing to teach me how to produce cement?"
Happiness came so suddenly, a sixth-level warrior, the prince of the empire, couldn't control himself for a while.
"Let's listen to Brother Ding's thoughts first." Hua Juan took Ji Chan's hand.
"Yes, how could I lie to you! You produce and sell cement in the Guyuan Empire, and I can just share the profits. It's too far to get you from Juyang City! I can't make this money even if I want to.
, we can’t do business without your help, why not cooperate together?”
Ding Kui gave Ji Chan some reassurance.
"What's the point? Fifty percent! Give you half of the money I made from selling cement in the empire!" Ji Chan opened his fingers and gestured in front of Ding Kui.
"Brother, I am not a money-greedy person. If you are not satisfied, I will recoup the cost." He didn't want Ding Kui to mistakenly think that he was greedy for money.
"No! I want 50% profit which is too much. Cement production is a long-term thing. If I take an unreasonable share now, it won't last long. You are not a greedy person, and neither am I. Just set the general direction."
I'll let the people below discuss the details." Ding Kui refused to take advantage of Ji Chan.
He deeply understands the principle that if you are too greedy, you will not make money. Cement is a high-volume commodity. You cannot become fat in one bite. You must try your best to extend the profit period.
"What a brother!" Ji Chan couldn't help but punch Ding Kui, "Hahaha!"
Ding Kui laughed along with him.
Ji Chan had no intention of continuing to visit the Giant Sheep City, so he dragged Ding Kui and shouted that he wanted to have a drink, without paying any attention to Hua Juan who was staring beside him.
Magicians should not drink alcohol. Drinking too much can easily damage your mental strength.
"Hmph! I'm going to feel the majesty of Tongyuan River." Hua Juan stamped her feet, turned around and flew away.
"Well, sister-in-law is angry." Ding Kui was very embarrassed.
"Don't worry about her. I finally came to your place to let my brother have fun." Ji Chan let go and took Ding Kui to fly back to the lord's mansion.
He is from a royal family and his living habits are no different from those of ordinary princes. However, after marrying Hua Juan, he became much more disciplined and suppressed himself a lot in these years.
There is also Tongyuan River in the north, but the surface of the river is not that wide and the water flow is faster. The feelings of water magicians are different. Hua Juan went there to practice, so Ding Kui was not worried.
He could only accompany Ji Chan first, and then find someone to perform songs and dances after returning home to make Ji Chan relax. As soon as they arrived in his territory, they would talk about important matters of family and country, and they would never have time to say anything unpleasant.
Generally speaking, Ding Kui is a boring person. In addition to practicing, he usually thinks about how to develop things on the earth. If he is not looking for wives to be busy with family inheritance, his only leisure and entertainment is probably playing football. He invented mahjong but rarely plays it.
, completely different from other nobles.
"Haha, you don't have some singing and dancing attendants in your house? They are invited from outside at first glance." Ji Chan is an expert and can tell the difference at a glance.
"Do you want to have a singing and dancing servant at home?" Ding Kui remembered that he had taken in the musician Shui Xing'er, but other than that, he had no similar servants.
When he was a child in Xiaxi Town, Ding Qi didn't have the time to enjoy himself, and his old house didn't keep singing and dancing attendants. There were few masters in the Marquis Mansion in the capital, and there was no need to raise these people. After coming to Juyang City, no one needed to watch singing and dancing, so ever
No one reminded Ding Kui that he needed such people in his family.
"Oh my god! Brother Xian, how did you get here all these years? Do you go out to watch singing and dancing? Your hobbies are quite unique." Ji Chan never expected that Ding Kui would be such a person.
"No, no, no!" Ding Kui was sweating on the back of his head, while Shao Dian Luan was sitting next to him.
"Luan'er, are there any in the palace?" Before he could finish asking, Shaodian Luan's eyes widened and he said, "Have you forgotten the reward from your father? How did Biya come here? You also forgot
Got it!"
"Ah! I have never seen Biya sing and dance. Now is not the time for her to do this."
Ding Kui thought to himself: It turns out that there is one at home, and I don’t even know about it unless I ask.
"I finally understand!" Ji Chan suppressed a smile, "Brother Xian, you have no intention of doing this. It's surprising that you can invent mahjong! And that tic-tac-toe game, you are so mysterious that no one can see through it."
"This is the person who can achieve high-level combat power!" Hua Juan happened to be returning from Tongyuanjiang. "If someone tells me in the future that Brother Ding has become the God of War, I will never be surprised." Her words were directed at Ji Chan.
explain.
"Yes, yes, what Madam said is true!" Of course Ji Chan could hear the implication.
"There are a bunch of idle people in the prince's palace. I will give them all to my dear brother later so that my younger brother and sister can have a good time. If guests come in the future, my dear brother will not be embarrassed." Hua Juan simply gave her singing and dancing attendants to Ding.
Kui.
"How can this happen! I can't have it." Ding Kui quickly refused.
"Listen to your sister-in-law, the ones in my house are from the royal singing and dancing training camp. None of the royal families in the south have singing and dancing attendants of that level. Don't be polite to my brother! You are my brother and you can't let others laugh at you." Ji Chan completely said
Follow Hua Juan’s words.
As soon as he said it, the matter escalated to the face of the Demon Prince of Nanping, and it was not just a personal issue for Ding Kui.
Ding Kui couldn't refuse, so he had to agree. Since he didn't need it anyway, he left it to Shao Dianluan to worry about.
"By the way, I asked an expert to set up a simple teleportation array at home. Can I use it to connect to the Prince's Mansion?" He suddenly had an idea.
"Simple teleportation array? Take a look, it's more interesting than singing and dancing." Ji Chan took the opportunity to express his feelings in front of his wife.
Magicians' hobbies are relatively simple, and unknown magic fields will definitely arouse their interest.
Ding Kui called Qianyou, took his wife, and led Ji Chan and his wife to a secret room in the forbidden area, and asked Qianyou to demonstrate how to transfer a bucket of gold coins to the county town.
Ji Chan and Hua Juan were both exposed to the simple teleportation array for the first time. They were so happy that they tried to use the teleportation array once each.
The simple teleportation array has fixed coordinates, so any magician of any series can use it, but only air magicians can open up new coordinates.
"Theoretically, you can set up a similar teleportation array in my palace, and then activate the coordinates to complete the teleportation. However, since the distance is too far, high-level magic cores will be consumed. It is only worth using to transmit very important information and items."
Ji Chan is indeed a well-known teacher and has quite solid theoretical knowledge.
Hua Juan asked: "What materials are needed to set up this kind of teleportation array?"
Ding Kui winked, Qian You took out a jade talisman and gave it to Hua Juan, saying: "This is the list of materials."
Hua Juan took a closer look and said, "We can gather these materials."
"Is it necessary to get one?" Ji Chan saw his wife's thoughts.
"Yes! The further the distance, the higher the value of the teleportation array! Our two families are tens of thousands of kilometers apart. The cost of teleporting an item is indeed very high. It probably requires a sixth-level magic core.
However, sometimes money cannot buy time. Maybe you are willing to spend all your money to buy time. This teleportation array can buy more than just one day!
Those materials are just a one-time consumption, the teleportation array can exist almost forever, and one day we or future generations will need it." Hua Juan takes a longer-term view.
The disciples of the Ice and Snow Palace are like Qi Qi, and those materials that Ding Kui seems to be rare are just inventory to her, and she can get them if she wants them.
Qian You glanced at Ding Kui and took out another jade talisman, "This is the spatial coordinates here."
The spatial coordinates can be sealed in the jade talisman, which is itself a sign of spiritual power and can be read by any magician. Only magicians who understand the elements of space can connect the spatial coordinates.
The jade talisman is for Ji Chan to take back. If necessary, you can ask an air magician to connect the teleportation array.
"I agree with my sister-in-law. Do you need a way to set up a simple teleportation array?" Ding Kui thought about whether to provide it to Ji Chan for free.
"No need, my sect should have records, even if there is no Ice and Snow Palace, my dear brother, please take the trouble." Ji Chan was quite confident.
His sect can build mature and complete teleportation gates, and it is easy to set up simple teleportation arrays. Unlike the "native" Ding Kui, there is no one in the prince's palace because there is no need.
It’s so hurtful! Ao Yan didn’t even remind me, which almost made me embarrassed.
Fortunately, Ding Kui was thick-skinned and no one noticed when he turned red.
"Look, if I develop something new in the future and you can use it, and it has properties similar to cement, I can transfer the production technology to you without you having to travel all the way." He took it very seriously. The market of the ancient Yuan Empire.
The population of the Northern Empire is several times that of the Shaodian Kingdom. The horse-producing country has more convenient material flow and is stronger than the Shaodian Kingdom in all trades.
"I'm just trying my best to be laughed at by my brothers and put so much thought into doing business. Haha, I hope I won't be called the 'prince who loves money'." What Ji Chan really cares about is face.
After visiting the secret room, the reception dinner officially began. Ding Kui only arranged for his family members to attend. The brotherhood between him and Ji Chan took a further step, and the two families officially became family friends.
The relationship between aristocratic families is closer and more reliable than that of allied families. It is a relationship passed down from generation to generation and is the most important relationship among nobles.
