When Tang Mo saw the talker at Silver Fox Tavern, he was shocked by his appearance.
If Tang Mo came to this world by accident, then when he saw the "silver fox" in front of him, it was even more unexpected.
The other party was a gray-haired old man, an old man with a beard, a head full of white hair, a long beard, and a face full of wrinkles.
He was hunched over, leaning on an ordinary-looking cane, and followed by a strong man. Weiss told Tang Mo that the strong man was the guy called the bartender.
Because of his thinness and hunchback, this old man looks about the same height as Matthews, but the two old men give people completely different impressions.
The dwarf Matthews is strong. Although he is short, he gives people a very solid feeling when viewed from the side. The old man in front of him gives people the purest and most direct feeling of thinness, the kind of thinness of a dying man.
There is actually nothing special about an old man. What is special is that this old man is exactly the same as Tang Mo, with a pair of dark eyes - the same person as him.
He saw the surprise in Tang Mo's eyes, and with a smile on his face, he said, "I really didn't expect that Tang Qi's child would grow so big in the blink of an eye."
The man standing next to him who looked like a bodyguard helped him and walked to Tang Mo. The old man looked Tang Mo up and down.
"What? I'm curious? I'm curious how a criminal could be here and become the talker of the Silver Fox Tavern?" The old man asked a topic that Tang Mo was interested in, but did not give an explanation.
The old man just pointed at the factory building behind Tang Mo and said, "Won't you invite me to sit inside?"
It was the first time for Tang Mo to see another "Chinese" in this world, so it was difficult for him to readjust his emotions.
He smiled, made a gesture of invitation, and replied with a smile: "Of course, please come in! I haven't asked for the old gentleman's name yet."
"Hahaha! The old man's name is Leo." The old man with gray hair and a beard said with a smile: "He is also a criminal with no ability. He opened a tavern in Bunas."
Tang Mo actually already knew that the sea that Bunas was leaning on was named the Endless Sea. Naturally, there were many countries on the other side of this sea.
The so-called sinners are the sinners exiled from an ancient country on the other side of the endless sea.
These criminals committed crimes in that country, so they were exiled and became homeless.
Most criminals are directly exiled on the island and left to fend for themselves, so many refugees will try their best to escape from the island and live in exile in other countries.
The mortality rate of criminals is extremely high. More than 90% of criminals will die of hunger and cold. Only a few people will survive the escape and live in other places, such as the Kingdom of Wright.
In this world, only the names of criminals were familiar to Tang Mo, and in a country like the Wright Kingdom, this kind of name was actually not that unusual.
After all, there are dwarves here, as well as elves or orcs who occasionally pass through. No matter how strange their names, surnames, and even looks are, they won't attract too much attention.
"Mr. Leo came to see me for something?" After Tang Mo was initially surprised, he began to prepare to regain the initiative in the meeting. He didn't want to be led by an old man and end up cooperating.
Dominance was ceded.
The old man named Leo had a smile on his face, looked at the noisy factory not far away, and said with emotion: "Tang Qi's workshop can develop so big in your hands, really...
very nice."
"Um...you're not here for a visit, are you?" Tang Mo led the way and invited the two people into his office.
This place has obviously been carefully tidied up. The messy drawings on Tang Mo's table have been sorted and put away. Now there are only some Aunt Cuixi's specialty dishes on the table.
Two bottles of ale just bought were standing on the table, which fully showed that the standard of this dinner was not too high.
Obviously, Leo, who followed Tang Mo into the room, didn't mind Tang Mo's not-so-thoughtful reception.
He waved his hand with a smile and said to Tang Mo: "Of course not, I'm here to cooperate. I think you, a young man, are very interesting. At least what you do makes me feel very good."
"Since it's cooperation, how can the old gentleman think we can cooperate?" Tang Mo walked back to his chair, sat down on the chair, and assumed a comfortable posture.
Just now, before going out to greet the old man and his party, he inspected his factory and was so busy that he almost forgot about the dinner.
A brand new workshop was put into use, and hundreds of workers started working in the new workshop. Tangmo's factory has now begun mass production of paper-cased custom-loaded ammunition, and Beiling does not need to worry about the ammunition supply for the time being.
"You can give me a sum of money every month, and I will provide you with a lot of... the news you want. No matter what kind of news you are interested in," Old Man Leo pointed at himself and said.
The bartender beside him helped him pull out his chair, and then stood behind Old Man Leo.
Tang Mo seems to be developing rapidly now, but in fact he is now so poor that he can wear his pants - even if Beiling is very satisfied with his steam engine equipment, the only thing he can get in a short time is Beiling
It is rich in various items.
Part of it is grain, which Beiling has hoarded, and the price has been deliberately kept low; the other part is the ore mined by Beiling, and the quantity will be increasing!
Unfortunately, although these two things are valuable, they are not gold coins that everyone likes.
So Tang Mo could only forget about things like gold coins for the time being, and changed the topic and said: "It sounds very good, but, old gentleman... do you just want to do business here? In fact, if so, you don't have to come in person at all.
, what news do I want to buy, I just need to ask Wes to go to your tavern to pay for the news."
Talking about business, this is an area that he is very good at. Anyway, it is just talking nonsense, trying to trick the other party into his own rhythm, that is victory, right?
"You're right. The reason why I came here in person is not just to bring in a business. You know, news is really valuable in the hands of people who know the importance of the news. I'm here to confirm that you are
He's not such a person..." The old gentleman remained calm and explained to Tang Mo.
When Tang Mo saw that the other party had temporarily forgotten about the gold coin transaction, he immediately nodded obediently and said, "Actually, I attach great importance to all kinds of news."
He pointed at himself, and boasted like a grandma: "It's just that I am a businessman, an honest businessman who produces and sells products, and I don't have much energy to take into account some very important news."
"Then, let us provide you with services in this area, as long as you can afford the corresponding price." Leo brought the topic back to price again.
There is no way. Although he has other considerations, his professional habits make him care more about profits.
Tang Mo was righteous and awe-inspiring, as if he had abundant funds: "I said, this is a good proposal. As long as the remuneration is appropriate, I have no problem."
"So, how much do you plan to pay?" After hearing what Tang Mo said, Leo immediately asked happily.
Hearing Leo's question, Tang Mo immediately started his performance: "Actually, the reward can be divided into many aspects, right? If it can be paid without gold coins, maybe it will be good for you and me."
"We don't lack anything..." Leo frowned. He didn't know what Tang Mo wanted to pay for.
"Don't be so sure. What I can provide may allow you to get twice the result with half the effort many times." Tang Mo boasted.
In fact, he still has many things in his hands that intelligence organizations particularly like: telegraph machines are one of them!
Tang Mo is currently working on his own power generation system. Once this system is completed, he can light up the technology tree in many directions.
On the one hand, there are technologies such as electroplating, and on the other hand, there are corresponding electromagnetic applications. Because the blueprints and technologies were perfected here in Tang Mo, he was able to quickly produce radio-related equipment.
With this kind of thing, the transmission speed of information will be increased tens of millions of times. With the timeliness of information, it becomes more valuable.
It's a pity that Tang Mo's telegraph machine is still in the supercomputer database in his mind. He hasn't even made a light bulb. Of course, there is still some distance to go before he can reach the wireless telegraph machine.
Therefore, Tang Mo had no way to fool Leo in front of him with something like a telegram. He could only think of other ways.
Like lightning, Tang Mo himself had already figured out a lot of messy things such as telegraph wiretaps, C4 explosives, etc., but he couldn't take out any of these things now.
He can't be like an insurance salesman, holding a few PPT forms and start boldly imagining the future, right?
Across the table, the old Mr. Leo was not very interested in Tang Mo's thoughts, but he said politely: "Oh?"
"As you know, we are producing new weapons, weapons that are better than those provided by the Cyric Consortium." Tang Mo was about to take out the revolver, which was also the "key product" he was holding in his hand now.
.
However, Leo showed little interest: "Although we sometimes need weapons, most of the time, we are actually just gathering information, and we don't need so many weapons..."
"What about the food?" Tang Mo asked again.
"What do we need food for? Give food to those eyes and ears?" Leo frowned.
"I also have a backpack made of salt and leather...even pots and pans, kitchen knives...a shovel and a bayonet..." Tang Mo recited the list of his group's products in one breath.
Leo's expression also became extremely exciting: "Are you kidding me? What do you think I need these things for? Should I give them to my subordinates as welfare?"
Tang Mo pretended to be shocked and asked, "What's wrong with this? Isn't it something you should consider to improve employees' benefits?"
