What originally attracted him was the businessman's profit-seeking and lack of principles. Naturally, Ralph would not be really angry with him. Just now, he had also used his habit of getting the upper hand. Regardless of whether the other party had such thoughts, he deceived him first, and then used coercion and inducement.
Let him know his position clearly.
In Sean's words, this is just a relatively conventional subterfuge. Now is a seller's market, and the initiative is in their hands. If they dare to find fault, agents like him will grab a lot of them, and some will be robbed.
To cooperate with them.
Seeing that the other party was restrained, Ralph revealed his real request, "The old rule is to barter, but this time, except for grain and salt, 70% of the goods will be exchanged for this kind of thing, do you know me?"
A dark stone was thrown in front of Chebman.
"Black flint?" Chebman said in surprise, "What do you want with this thing? This thing is of no use except for making fires and keeping warm. The most indispensable thing in your mountains is wood, right?"
"How can there be so many reasons?" Ralph said with a straight face, "Just tell me if it can be done and give me a happy word."
"There is no shortage of this kind of thing. A mountain near the capital is made of this kind of black flint. All we need to do is organize people to dig it out." Chebman said with a grimace, "But this kind of thing
How to set the price? If the price is too low, I won’t be able to afford the transportation fee alone. If the price is too high, you won’t be happy either, right?”
"Don't worry about this. We just said that we do business based on the principle of mutual benefit and reciprocity, and we will never let you suffer. The price of black flint is five to one compared to the price of grain. Five carts of black flint are worth one cart of grain. How about that?
Is this price reasonable?”
"Five carts of black flint are worth one cart of grain." Chebman quickly calculated in his mind, from getting the qualifications to dig out the black flint to hiring people to dig it out and transport it, and found that there was still a little bit left.
The surplus, although not big, was still a piece of meat, and I breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, he was also secretly surprised. It seemed that there was an expert behind the other party, and the price was very accurate. He would always leave a small piece of meat for him, which made him feel itchy, even though he knew it was intentional.
Because of this, he was still led by the other party.
This time Chebman did not dare to play tricks anymore, but quickly agreed, and at the same time laid out his real problem, "The previous batches of transactions were mainly based on grain and salt. After all, there is no ready stock of black flint.
Not only do I need to hire people to mine, but I also need to take care of all aspects. Only in this way can our business last for a long time. This period must be at least two or three months. The proportion must be increased bit by bit. You also know what the road behind the mountain is.
How difficult it is to move, just transporting these grains and salt has cost us a lot of manpower and material resources. If we replace it with black flint that has increased in size five times, the difficulty will be greatly increased."
"That's understandable." Ralph said with a smile, "But don't worry, when your black flint can be transported to the mountains, there will be a brand new road waiting for you."
"If that's the case, no matter how good it is," Chebman agreed, but he didn't take it seriously. He thought building roads was such a simple matter?
Especially when building a road in a mountainous area that is 70 to 80 kilometers long, the difficulty is greatly increased. The most important point is that the relationship between the two parties is not that gentle. This rugged and difficult mountain road is their biggest barrier. If they lose the road,
Once you reach the bottom of the bus, you won't be afraid of the army led by Man Yu's army rushing in.
Ralph saw Chebman's appearance in his eyes, but he had no desire to explain. This kind of people's knowledge limited their imagination. Let's speak to them with facts when the time comes.
"By the way, what is the maximum supply of this kind of leather armor? I have a good idea so I can determine how big the black flint mine is. By the way, does this kind of leather armor have a name? I have a name of my own.
It makes it more unique.”
"With a name, Tang style studded armor, one hundred pairs per month."
"Tang's studded armor? It's a tongue-in-cheek name, and it just makes it a bit unique. One hundred pairs per month, so the quantity is less!"
"It is indeed less now, but it is only temporary, and the quantity will increase soon. But our products are not only this, we also have various finished medicines, you can also take a look."
A pile of bottles and cans came out, causing Chebman to look around frequently, wondering whether the other party had hidden anything else.
Different from the last time when he was silent, this time Ralph used his sharp tongue to introduce the product he just took out very comprehensively from function to curative effect, "This is a hemostatic and muscle-building powder, for traveling
It is a must-have medicine for killing enemies in battle. Just sprinkle it on any knife wound and wrap it with linen cloth. It can be used not only externally but also internally. It has miraculous effects on stopping bleeding and promoting muscle growth."
"This is bone-strengthening powder. It has miraculous effects on fractures and injuries and speeds up bone recovery. However, before taking this powder, you need to correct the bones first, otherwise they will easily grow crooked and you will be in big trouble. In addition, you can
When used as a bone-building auxiliary medicine, it has good effects."
"This is Duangchang Powder, a relatively strong poison. As long as it is taken no more than one-tenth of a pound, it will not be fatal, but it can effectively kill a variety of parasites in the body's gastrointestinal tract. The only flaw is that it will be accompanied by
Severe abdominal pain and diarrhea.”
"Qure Powder, taken with boiling water, has a certain alleviating effect on various acute diseases associated with fever, especially wind-cold diseases."
Chibman was dumbfounded when he heard the last part. No matter how knowledgeable he was, he had never seen this kind of finished medicine, let alone such a straightforward sales advertisement. He stared at the pile of bottles in front of him with twinkling eyes.
Bottles and cans, evaluating the value of these things in my mind.
If what Ralph said is true, no, even if the efficacy is only one-tenth of what he said, these things are priceless. In the face of their value, the so-called Tang's studded armor is simply not enough. They will
It will directly subvert the existing medical monopoly system.
Because as long as there are these few medicines, even an ordinary quack doctor can become a miracle doctor, which will be good news to the people of the entire Manyu Army. No, it is good news to the people of the entire Ashan continent, because he has never heard of it.
Such finished medicines are sold.
I heard that the witches in the Secret Coven have all kinds of mysterious potions in their hands, which are said to have various magical effects. But most people don’t dare to drink the things in the hands of the witches!
But this thing is different from a brand-new product like Tang's studded nails. The advantages of Tang's studded nails are obvious and can be tested by all the most direct methods. However, there is no way to try these things in front of me.
Before entering the stomach, they are just a bunch of colorful powders with no visible patterns.
Chebman's success was no accident. He had a strong will to pull out his dagger again and pulled it towards his arm. For the sake of greater interests, he had no choice but to test the medicine himself.
Ralph held Chibman's hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Chibman is really a very human being. This kind of courage is not something ordinary people have. But there is no need to do this. These are all given to you for free."
You can find a chance to try the sample on the right person. If you see the effect, let’s talk about the next thing. If you really want to try the medicine yourself, there is no need to have a knife on yourself. The effect of Zhishengji San is limited to stopping bleeding.
Myogenic, it is generally effective against infectious diseases such as tetanus. Once infected accidentally, it will be fatal. Come on, try this broken intestine powder. Most people have parasites in their bodies. Use a dewormer to treat it.
It’s good for your health, but it’s accompanied by some abdominal pain at most, which you can tolerate and get over.”
"That's right, that's right!" People's courage is often instantaneous. After being stopped, Chebman no longer had the courage to do a second incision on himself.
In fact, now that he thought about it, he was scared. If he hadn't been stopped by Ralph, he would have had to cut his arm in half. He didn't know what kind of evil he had just committed to come up with such a bad idea.
Like my usual cautious and steady style of doing things.
After this small episode, Chebman no longer planned to test the medicine on the spot. He is now a successful person, and his life is more precious than before. It is better to leave this kind of dangerous matter to others.
Bar!
After hurriedly handing over the goods, Chebman took the first step with ten pairs of Down's studded armor and a lot of bottles and cans. If he wanted to really finalize the deal, Patram...
It is impossible to bypass this level. You must get his nod. As long as he nods, the deal is mostly completed.
During the transaction, Chibman's team had unknowingly changed ten faces of Andis people. However, the transportation labor force used by Chebman was mainly Andis people. After all, they are now in Andis.
When people are doing business on the ground, using such a face will cause less trouble.
Moreover, the people he uses are not fixed every time, and every time there are two-thirds new faces. Not to mention just replacing ten people, a large team of two to three hundred people, even if ten people are mixed in, it will be very difficult.
Hard to notice anything.
These ten people followed Chebman's caravan through the Bastille, and then left without a trace, just like when they came. When the final inspection was carried out, it was found that ten people were missing, and most of them were treated as escaped slaves.
, pay a few Byron gold coins and settle the matter.
The traces of these ten people are not as hidden as they seem. At least in the eyes of many senior leaders of the Manyu Army, they have been under surveillance from the moment they entered the Bastille, but no one took action against them, because this
This was the default condition for the original transaction with the Andis people.
These ten people also knew their situation. After leaving the team, they did not stay much, walked through the town and city, and soon left the Manyu Army.
Some went directly east, toward the Broken Grassland guarded by the Strachey family.
Some went south, to the Carthusian military leader ruled by the Kingsley family.
Others headed toward the plains of Asia Minor in the southwest, which was the inherent fiefdom of the Lancelot family, the supreme ruler of the Byron League.
As for where they are going, no one cares. Although everyone is nominally in the big family of the Byron Alliance, the relationship between the two parties is definitely not close, let alone harmonious.
