Chapter 159 The First Real Step
Long Lang's expression was a little nervous, and his eyes were staring at Dean without blinking—obviously, it was definitely not for three hundred gold coins to make this black market businessman rush all the way from Bugle Town to Vauban City. Ton's business.
"Of course, but I need you to prove your strength!"
Dean nodded with a smile, then handed a piece of kraft paper prepared in advance to Long Lang on the opposite side, and said, "I need 150 pieces of light steel armor and 150 long swords produced in the Emerald City. , long spears, double the number of crossbows and a large number of arrows... I will be waiting for your arrival at the station of the Feichalun Knights two weeks later!"
Long Lang took the kraft paper and carefully checked the records on it, as if he didn't hear Dean's follow-up words.
After four or five minutes, he raised his head and looked at Dean, with a dignified expression and a hint of excitement that couldn't be concealed, and asked very quickly: "Is this true?"
Long Lang pointed to the kraft paper.
"Do you think I have time for such jokes with you?"
Dean looked at each other in a leisurely manner, and the smile on the corner of his mouth did not change in the slightest.
"Get rich! Get rich!"
Long Lang looked at Dean's expression, then stood up from the chair with a bang, and began to pace around in place, muttering non-stop. A large number of weapons and armor, no need to worry about being seized.
Numerous medicinal materials and furs do not need to be taxed.
The best weapons and armors were shipped from the emerald capital, and sold to the four northern counties at high prices, and then cheap medicinal materials and furs were purchased from the four northern counties. No matter how expensive the emerald capital sells.
Almost instantly, Long Lang saw a golden road.
After the excitement lasted for a while, Long Lang finally recovered. He looked at Dean who was sitting calmly in the chair, and subconsciously asked, "Aren't you excited? Do you know how many Kimptons that means?" ?”
"I'm not interested in Kimpton itself, I only like the weapons, armor and potions that Kimpton bought!"
Dean didn't hide his true thoughts, and replied very frankly.
In fact. For this smuggling channel that made the Paula family "prosper rich", the value that Dean values most is that it can quickly provide everything he wants.
The simplest examples: weapons, armor.
These two are the most basic things of the Knights apart from the personnel, and they want to get them in Tyre. Definitely not an easy task. That Baron de Fendi will definitely take revenge.
And more importantly, even if it is to endure humiliation. Pay a lot of Kimpton, get weapons, armor. It is still difficult to put on the stage.
Of course, it is not ruled out that Baron Defendi is playing tricks. Another more important reason is the ability of the blacksmiths in Defendi's territory.
Dean was very skeptical. Does the blacksmith there really know how to make a piece of scale armor and plate armor, rather than just making some iron sheets and iron plates in a simple sense.
As for weapons?
It wasn't the first time that the incident of breaking during the slashing occurred in Defendi's territory.
Therefore, Dean is indifferent to the weapons and armor produced by De Fendi.
Using such weapons and armor to deal with Xiti's cavalry, in Dean's view, is just a joke.
What he needs are weapons and armor made by real blacksmiths in the Emerald City.
And without this smuggling channel, it would be almost impossible to fulfill the above wish - because the trade of weapons and armor is expressly prohibited in Jade, and only a few have obtained the permission of the royal family and county kings It is only possible to operate these special items in unique shops.
As for others, any businessman who dared to go half a step beyond the threshold would be hanged.
Even if the king of a county wants to purchase weapons and armor from other counties, or from the Emerald Capital, he needs to go through layers of audits and pay high taxes before he can do so.
And this, obviously, was unbearable for Dean.
Not only Kimpton is needed, but more importantly, Dean can't wait for time.
However, precisely because of this prohibition, some bold businessmen came into being for the sake of profit - just like Long Lang in front of him, the other party is definitely the most outstanding one.
In addition, Dean knew very well what kind of wonderful reaction this smuggling channel would have.
"You only need weapons, armor and potions? Don't you want to divide them?"
Long Lang subconsciously asked, but after seeing Dean's half-smile, the future big businessman grinned in embarrassment—obviously, no one would give up such a large amount of Kimpton. .
Dean is no exception.
After all, he needs to build an army that can really participate in the Blood Moon War, and also needs to increase his strength rapidly. Without the support of Kimpton, it is simply impossible.
"I want 60%!"
Dean said with a half-smile.
"Sixty percent? Impossible! I'll give you three and a half percent at most. You don't do anything, but I have to pay a big price. Do you think those royal businessmen are as kind as I am? And those reliable people The choice also requires a large sum of money from Kimpton!"
Long Lang yelled loudly.
"So, as I said before, you need to prove your strength—this is my greatest contribution!"
Dean pointed to the kraft paper, and spoke leisurely.
"What about the weapons and armor you mentioned later?"
Long Lang was taken aback.
"That's part of what you need to prove your strength!"
Dean chuckled.
"Bastard, bastard, you are the profiteer, the biggest profiteer!"
Long Lang angrily patted the table again.
You must know that the value of each of the 150 pieces of light steel armor produced in the Emerald City is no less than 300 Kimptons. This is still including Long Lang's supernatural powers. If other people go to buy it, they will need to pay at least 500 Kimptons for one piece, plus 150 long swords, long spears, and double the amount. The price of crossbows and large quantities of arrows is at least six thousand Kimptons, calculated according to the market price. It's almost 10,000 Kimptons.
And 10,000 Kimptons was part of the proof. Long Lang didn't lift the table and curse. It is already full of sincerity.
but. It is precisely because of this that it proves that the two sides still have the possibility to continue their talks.
"Forty-and-a-half percent, no more!"
Long Lang slapped the table several times in a row, until he couldn't help holding his palms and screaming for pain, then he gave such an offer.
"50%...You know, I was the first to find you to discuss this matter. It is already the greatest sincerity-this is a long-term matter, and I hope our cooperation is the same!"
Dean smiled, but the look on his face was unmistakable.
"Fifty percent, fifty percent...well, just fifty percent!"
Long Lang whispered for a while, finally. Gritting his teeth, he agreed.
Then, a magic contract appeared on the table—this was prepared by Long Lang. As a real businessman, such a magic contract is absolutely essential.
After reading it carefully, Dean signed his name 'Dean Ken' without hesitation.
And when Long Lang also signed his name. The future big businessman couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief—obviously, the importance of this smuggling channel made Long Lang extremely concerned.
Only by fulfilling the contract in the true sense can he relax his tense nerves.
After all, only with the existence of a contract can both parties be truly safe.
For the young man who has mastered such a smuggling channel, although the other party has the appearance of a run-down little nobleman, if everyone thinks that this is really the other party's performance, Long Lang will definitely laugh out loud; after all, He knew clearly that the other party was still penniless when he was in Bugle Town, but in less than two months, he was already a nobleman who had won the title of Lord.
Even though it was only a low-end lord, the other party's inheritable characteristics clearly allowed him to step into the emerald aristocratic class in one step.
As for Dean, who was able to accomplish such a thing in such a short period of time, Long Lang would naturally not be careless.
However, looking at the magic contract, Long Lang couldn't help but smiled easily.
No matter how powerful the opponent is, isn't he still his ally and collaborator now?
"Dean, why did you choose me to cooperate?"
After signing the magic contract, the relationship between the two parties is obviously a step closer, and some things that were originally hidden in the bottom of my heart can obviously be asked.
Facing Long Lang's question, Dean certainly couldn't say that I have seen your future and already know your character; therefore, after a little pondering, Dean said: "Because, I am optimistic about you—whether it is Your attitude towards Kimpton, or your attitude as a businessman, makes me think that you are the best collaborator... At least, you are many times better than those businessmen who are used by the royal family and the county king, isn't it?"
With such an answer, another smile appeared on Longlang's face. He nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "That's right, those guys are the least respected by businessmen. How can they compare with me? Hmm, Di Well, you really know me too well... Come on, let's go and see your goods, for the sake of our happy cooperation, you must give me a discount!"
"My goods?"
Dean froze.
"Of course, the goods in your shop! You don't want me to return to Bugle Town empty-handed, do you? At least let me bring some spices and furs!"
Long Lang said it as a matter of course.
"You really are a qualified businessman!"
Dean smiled wryly.
"Of course!"
Long Lang raised his head, looking extremely proud.
