The four kinds of war equipment were all carefully considered by Zeng Yi, two siege equipment and two city defense equipment. In this way, as long as both sides have these things, the impact on the war will not be too great. Only in this way can the war be
If it lasts, you can buy more and make more money!
For 440,000 taels of silver for four types of weapons, only four blueprints of the equipment were obtained, but Zeng Yi dared to say that if these four blueprints were released now and marked with double the price, the major guilds would definitely snatch them up.
Of course, Zeng Yi would not be stupid enough to release the blueprints. Zeng Yi was not stupid enough to kill the goose and lay the eggs. Moreover, he had promised the court that if it were leaked, he would not be able to stay in the court even if he was favored by the little empress.
Those censors could kill him.
An agreement had been reached with the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War. After reaching the agreement, Zeng Yi understood that in fact, the biggest gain after paying such a price this time was the imperial edict of the franchise. Only with this edict can the arms business be launched legally.
, without the imperial edict, other people would not dare to manufacture it openly even if they got the drawings.
After reaching an agreement, Zeng Yi immediately contacted Fatty from the Silver Empire. Fatty had been anxious for several days, waiting for news from Zeng Yi. After receiving Zeng Yi's flying pigeon letter, he killed him within a quarter of an hour.
Arrive at Zeng Yi's blacksmith shop.
Seeing Zeng Yi drinking tea in the blacksmith shop with a calm look on his face, the fat man said excitedly: "It's done?"
Zeng Yi nodded, "Of course!"
"I knew it, I knew you could do it!" Fatty was very excited. He knew very well what this meant to the Silver Empire. It could be said that Zeng Yi was now risking the fate of their Silver Empire.
"Don't get excited yet. The first batch of open lists only included four types of war equipment!" Zhou Yi said and asked Fatty to look at the four drawings.
The fat man runs such a large silver empire, so he is naturally a very smart person. After looking at the four types of equipment, he has a very clear understanding of the impact of the four types of equipment on a war.
"Haha, with these four tools, we can definitely make a lot of money! But...don't you have the blueprint to win the battleship?"
Zeng Yi looked at the fat man and said, "There is a chance, but your Silver Empire can afford enough silver. Every lucky battleship blueprint costs more than 100,000 taels of silver. This does not include the investment of the shipyard.
In the current situation, it is impossible for a large-scale battle to break out in a short period of time at sea. Do you think the shareholders of your Silver Empire will agree to such a large investment?"
The fat man thought for a moment and said with some pity: "Hey, if the Silver Empire were mine alone, I would definitely invest in it at any cost. As long as some of it doesn't fail, the money won't be lost! But... I won't say that.
Now, I don’t have the final say in the Silver Empire alone!”
The fat man was also open-minded and smiled, "It's good to have these four kinds of blueprints. In the early stages of the guild war, there will definitely be a huge market!"
"Don't get too happy yet. The four drawings cost a total of 480,000 taels of silver. They have to be sent to the Ministry of Industry tomorrow. You should have prepared the money, right?"
"It has been prepared for a long time. We have prepared five hundred thousand taels of silver, which is definitely enough!"
"Made, it's a loss..." Of course Zeng Yi would not quote the original price to Silver Empire. He had gone through a lot of effort and had a lot of favors. It was definitely inappropriate for him to do it for nothing.
It's not too much to only add ten thousand taels for each drawing, but I didn't expect that they had prepared five hundred thousand taels of silver from the beginning. Judging from the fat man's tone, if it wasn't enough, they could still add more.
As he said that, the fat man directly slapped the banknote on the table, but Zhou Yi did not take it directly. Instead, he looked at the fat man and said: "The arms business is almost inseparable. Should we also discuss this arms business?"
Shares?”
After hearing this, Fatty became serious, "It's really time to discuss this!" Looking at Zeng Yi, Fatty said, "I wonder how many shares Brother Ni wants?"
"You are professionals in business. I don't understand. It's up to you to tell me!"
The fat man was silent for a moment, and then said: "We also produced the "Manuscript of the Nephew Memorial", we also paid for the purchase of the blueprints, and I also invested in the subsequent production and manufacturing... How about giving the Ni brothers 20% of the shares?
"
"Two percent of the shares, the Silver Empire is bullying me, don't you understand? This technology is mine now. Without me, no matter how much money you invest, you will not be able to get these drawings. With 20% of the shares, if the Silver Empire is really not sincere
, then this is nothing more than business, I will return the manuscript for my nephew's death to you!"
The fat man quickly smiled and said: "Brother Ni, don't be angry. Why don't you raise the price? If Brother Ni is not satisfied, we can talk about it! Thirty percent, how about 30%?"
Zeng Yi shook his head, "Thirty percent is still too little. You should understand that this business can be done without you, but it cannot be done without me. I can actually find others to cooperate. Although other business guilds are not as good as the Silver Empire,
But I think as long as I release the news, even if you give me 60%, the guild will agree!"
As Zeng Yi said, he is the dominant player in this business. Without the Silver Empire, he can still find other guilds to cooperate. Even if other business alliances are not as powerful as the Silver Empire, he can definitely find a few more business guilds to cooperate.
Not much worse than the Silver Empire.
As for cooperating with normal guilds, Zeng Yi has never thought that although the top ten guilds are powerful, they will definitely participate in the guild competition. If they cooperate with them, they will only use them for themselves and will never sell to others.
Guilds. This has a great impact on this business. Even though Zeng Yi, Tianxiang Guild and Fengyun Tianxia Guild are very good, I have never thought of cooperating with them.
The fat man's face changed, "Brother Ni, 60% is simply impossible. Even if I can agree, the guild shareholders won't agree! I will give you 40% at most. This is the biggest concession I can make!"
Zeng Yi smiled: "50%, let's split it in half. I can show you something, and then you can discuss it with the shareholders of your silver empire!" With that, Zeng Yi took out the franchise ticket.
Imperial decree, showed it to Fatty.
The fat man looked at the imperial edict and his face was extremely solemn.
"You should know that without this even if you get the blueprint, you can only produce it secretly and sell it secretly. Once discovered by the court, there is a possibility of being destroyed at any time!"
The fat man looked at Zeng Yi and said, "Brother Ni, 50% is no longer up to me. Give me some time. Let's discuss it and give you an answer tomorrow morning! If you can trust me, I'll take this drawing away first. If you want,
To convince the guild, you must be able to come up with something!"
