"Ten beaver skins for kerosene lamps, and five beaver skins for fuel."
These things are fragile and not easy to carry. That is, Chen Mo has the space and does not need to consider these issues, so he brings a lot of everything.
Chief Geronimo couldn't help but nodded when he heard Chen Mo's offer.
“Your prices are very fair!”
You know, the purchasing teams of the American Fur Company sell them a meat-cutting knife for ten beaver skins. Compared with that, Chen Mo's price is already very reasonable.
Chen Mo didn't feel that he was at a loss. After selling this beaver skin, it would be enough to buy hundreds of kerosene lamps.
Beaver skin has good thermal insulation, softness and comfort. It has always been a favorite clothing fabric of the royal family and nobles, and the price is also quite expensive.
Hats made of beaver skin are very waterproof and will not deform even on rainy days. They are very popular in Europe and are very popular. Almost everyone with status has one.
Since beaver skin is produced in the American continent, it is not easy to purchase and transport, and the demand is huge. The price of beaver skin has been rising again and again, but the supply is still in short supply. Owning a hat made of beaver skin has become a status symbol.
Top-notch luxury goods that only the upper class can afford.
Nowadays, not only Europe, this trend has also spread to the United States, and the price of beaver skin is still high. Therefore, although the price offered by Chen Mo is much higher than that of the acquisition team of the American fur company, the extra cost is
Compared with the huge profits obtained, it is not worth mentioning at all. Chen Mo is not one of those American businessmen who has an eye for money. The profits from the fur trade are already amazing, and there is no need to continue to oppress and exploit these Indians.
Although it was impossible to trade the furs based on their true value, the materials Chen Mo carried were much richer and more diverse than those of the American Fur Company, which originally had a monopoly, and the price offered for the furs was also nearly higher than what the original acquisition team had offered.
This made the native Indians, who had long been oppressed and exploited, very happy and praised Chen Mo and the others for their fair transaction.
In this Indian tribe called Lakota, Chen Mo used various materials to exchange for a large amount of beaver skins, mink skins, bison skins, various furs, and even a huge bear skin.
The length of this bear skin is nearly three meters, and its original size must have been extremely huge. It is estimated to weigh more than 700 kilograms, making it a well-deserved giant.
It is not a simple matter to kill it. Even some weak tribes are likely to be slaughtered brutally and suffer heavy casualties if they encounter such a huge beast. Looking at the situation of the Lakota tribe, it is not
It looks like they have paid a huge price, and it can be seen from this that the warriors of the Lakota tribe are quite strong.
Chen Mo directly offered a price of 100 beaver pelts for this rare huge bear skin, which made Chief Geronimo very happy. He told Chen Mo that the price was fair. After the transaction was completed, Chen Mo and the others stayed to entertain him warmly.
Ichiban.
The next day, Chief Geronimo personally bid farewell to Chen Mo and the others in front of the tribe.
"The Lakota tribe looks forward to your coming again. Our Lakota tribe warriors are the most powerful warriors in the Missouri forest. Next time, we will prepare more beast skins to exchange with you. I hope you can bring more
Much better stuff.”
Chief Geronimo said with pride.
Chen Mo nodded when he heard this. Chief Geronimo was indeed not bragging. As far as the Indian tribes he had been to, the warriors of the Lakota tribe were indeed the strongest and bravest of all tribes.
Looking at Chief Geronimo, Chen Mo nodded slightly and said slowly.
"Will do."
…
The Lakota tribe is just one of the many Indian tribes that Chen Mo, Victor, and James passed by. With the transactions during this period, Chen Mo's space stored a large amount of living supplies in New York, and armed personnel from the American Fur Company
The supplies looted there were quickly replaced by piles of precious furs.
Chen Mo has a huge space of one thousand cubic meters. If it is completely filled, the value it represents will be extremely astonishing when we leave the forest and return to New York.
In fact, not all Indians will be like the Lakota tribe, who are satisfied with Chen Mo's fur purchase price, which is much higher than that of the American fur company, and the high quality, low price, and wide variety of materials.
trade, but felt that they were weak, just ordinary small fur merchants, without the strong armed force deterrence like the American Fur Company, so they wanted to take advantage of the large number of people in their tribe to forcibly rob the materials from Chen Mo and the others.
The final result is self-evident. Without Chen Mo taking action, Victor and James, who had experienced a lot of battles and had greatly increased their strength, killed all the Indians who tried to rob them.
Chen Mo did not kill all the Indians in the tribe, but only those who tried to rob them.
The strong fighting power shown by Victor and James, the fierce fighting style like wild beasts and the unique weapons were enough to frighten the remaining Indians and prevent them from daring to reproduce those who should not be killed.
Some thoughts.
During the battle, the sharp claws and bone spurs of Victor and James were inevitably seen by other Indians present. In addition, the two men displayed powerful speed and agility far beyond ordinary people in the battle, and were hit.
After that, he seemed not to be harmed at all, and his ability to continue fighting without being affected at all shocked the Indians present, and they couldn't help but think of the legend that had recently been spread among the tribes.
It is said that in this vast jungle, two extremely ferocious humanoid beasts with terrifying claws appeared on their hands, slaughtering the armed personnel of the American Fur Company.
But in the past, this was just a legend. Although some people thought that the ancestral spirits appeared and sent these two ferocious beasts to punish the armed men of the American Fur Company who oppressed and exploited them, many people thought that they just encountered grizzly bears or other ferocious beasts.
But this time, someone actually saw with their own eyes the whole process of the two people growing claws and bone spurs out of thin air, as well as their extremely powerful fighting power, and their unimaginable ability to ignore attacks and be unable to kill. The previous
The rumors completely turned into reality.
The Indians present at the time couldn't help but have a strong fear and even reverence for Victor and James, and their power and magic began to be widely spread.
