Chapter 739: Helpless, I can only increase the price tenfold
Going to war with a black brother country over a billion pound gold mine?
You know the answer to this question without even thinking about it.
No matter how weak Brother Hei is, he is still a country, and the cost of the war may be more than one billion pounds.
In addition, the gold mine still needs to be mined, which is another cost, not to mention that William is not short of gold at all.
Only when there is no shortage of money and gold is not a necessity will ghosts start a war.
Thinking of this, William immediately understood what the Iron-Blooded leader meant. The Iron-Blooded clan also had no shortage of energy crystals, and they had opponents like the Transformed Iron-Blooded. It was also impossible for them to fight a war with the insects.
What's more, the Ironbloods probably thought that with the healing talisman, the war they had to fight for hundreds of years would now be over in just a few years.
And after a few years, people like William, who have not yet formed a powerful force, may still dare to start a war with insects.
By then, the relationship between Iron Blood and William, who have escaped from the vortex of war, may be reversed.
Thinking of this, William's expression was a little uncertain. In fact, these iron-blooded people did not lack energy crystals. Did he suffer a loss by selling one energy crystal for one jade talisman?
And since these iron-blooded stars existed thousands of years ago, there were also bugs in the galaxy.
Does that mean that most of their energy crystals come from that galaxy, and the reserves seem to be very huge?
Wait for the iron-blooded leader to say, "We can raise the price. In addition to the previously agreed deal, the extra share will be exchanged for two energy crystals for each healing charm."
Now William was even more convinced that he had sold it cheaply. There had been a demand for energy crystals before, so he had to get what he needed first, so it was reasonable to sell it cheaply.
If the transaction on planet x17 is to be considered a loss, how should we look at it?
A livable planet three times larger than Blue Star, if not sold by Iron Blood, would have been impossible for William to buy even with money at that time.
But now he would be an idiot if he didn't dare to open his mouth, and if the price was higher, it would give him room for bargaining.
"One healing charm and one hundred energy crystals. As long as you agree, I will apply to other magicians for collaborative production.
At that time, a hundred coins a day will not be impossible.”
"Are there any magicians like you?"
"Of course," William said with a smile, "Without inheritance, where can I learn my magic?"
The iron-blooded leader was heartbroken, silently thinking that there was no other way for them to deal with a magician except using the battleship energy cannon.
If there are just a few or dozens of them, then if they fight, they will never even think of appearing on land in the future.
He immediately shook his head to suppress the anger in his heart and explained patiently, "One to one hundred is impossible. Even if we can afford it, we can't afford it.
In the past, when the price was right, we could only use it if we were injured. But the new price will make us afraid to use it in the future unless we have no choice but to do so.
Once there are ten legions, 400 people, and three healing charms in each hand, it will cost 120,000 energy crystals for one dispatch."
The Iron-Blooded leader himself was shocked by this number, "If this is the case, we might as well prolong the time, aiming to compress and transform the Iron-blooded living space, and wait for their decline and demise."
"this,,",
William was said to be somewhat speechless. Large-scale, long-term battles, and logistical capabilities are often the main factors that determine the direction of a war.
The price of life-saving things is too expensive, so for individuals, of course, they have to buy it even if they bite the bullet.
But for a large force or ethnic group, if the cost of war is too high, it is better to sacrifice manpower and even focus on the opponent's weak points and key points to fight small-scale battles and force the opponent to negotiate.
Although the possibility of negotiation and reconciliation between the two iron-blooded tribes is not high, once the negotiation is achieved, William will immediately become the common enemy of the two tribes.
One would hate him for selling things too expensively and exploiting him too harshly regardless of friendship. The other would probably regard William as his life-and-death enemy.
William, who had originally saved up to bargain with the Ironbloods but didn't want to see the war turn into a family game,
After thinking silently for a while, he said, "One for ten, this is my final bottom line."
"Wait a minute, I have to report to the elders." After saying that, the iron-blooded leader silently waited for the decision of the person who could make the decision.
After waiting for almost two hours, William was already impatient, and the leader replied, "We will need 1,200 healing charms in ten days."
"no problem",
As long as the war continued, the price increased tenfold, and now there was an unfounded magician in the background, William immediately became easy to talk to.
With his current strength, he can make fifty pieces in one hour. If the limit is twenty novels a day, one thousand two hundred pieces can be made.
After sending away the iron-blooded leader with a bad expression, William didn't care whether the other party was hurt by the price. Since he agreed, it meant that it was still within their acceptable range.
Instead, I thought that based on the transmission speed of the communicator, a message would take two hours to transmit. It seemed that it would not be that easy to find the Iron-blooded clan's new home star for thousands of years.
As for whether to fight those bugs and snatch the energy crystal mines, we have to make careful calculations.
And now, in addition to the previously negotiated agreement of exchanging 600 jade talismans for 600 energy crystals within a month, we cannot go back on it.
The other thousand jade talismans have 10,000 energy crystals, which is 30,000 energy crystals a month, which makes him even less anxious.
Even if you want to fight, you have to find out the strength of the insects first, and it also takes time to build spaceships and combat robots.
So William said to Sunday, "After the third spacecraft is built, according to the Iron-blooded interstellar chart, let the spacecraft take the detector to detect the bugs a thousand light years away."
"Understood, sir".
"By the way, after this spacecraft has finished its exploration, don't let it come back, lest it picks up some hidden bugs and follows it back to Planet X17."
After giving the instructions, William opened the door and returned to the underground of Oxford Castle.
Little does he know that in the few hours he went to planet
After searching for Megatron and the source of Fire for hundreds of years, the last news they got was that someone had gotten there first and disappeared. This made the Decepticons not panic.
On the American side, Area 7, where Megatron was previously imprisoned and studied, has always reported solely to the president.
Something happened now. Not only were almost all the people in District 7 killed, but the alien robot they had studied for nearly a hundred years disappeared together with the energy body they still didn't know the name of - the source of fire.
This matter is no longer something that Benjamin Arthur, a president who has had many disasters since he took office, can handle it alone.
Suddenly, the Secretary of State for Security, the Minister of Defense, and four or five star-studded generals appeared in the white palace, discussing ways to investigate and deal with the aftermath.
After watching the surveillance video in Area 7, Benjamin Arthur pointed in shock at the Predator who was disappearing and appearing.
Then he looked at the information handed to him by the Minister of Defense and said, "You mean, fifteen years ago in 1987, we had already had contact with these aliens?"
