Chapter 33 A Chicken that Lays Golden Eggs
At this moment, Count Martin wrote the letter himself and asked the attendant to take it to the Knights' warehouse to pick up the goods.
Lomo and Elliot bid farewell to Martin and left together with the guards.
Before leaving, Martin emphasized to Luo Mo again: "Remember to come back in fifteen days. I'm waiting for you." "Don't
worry, sir, I will definitely be there!" Luo Mo made his promise to him.
An hour later, 3 tons of source mineral ore was transported from the Knights' warehouse.
It took Luomo three carriages to finish loading the source minerals.
These ores were an amnesty deal between the city hall and Lomo, and he could take them away directly without the need for a general trade license.
In fact, only 2 tons of source minerals were needed to build the water altar. Romo asked for 3 tons because he was afraid that Count Martin would counter-offer, but unexpectedly he agreed immediately. And the price is very cheap, only less than 200 gold coins in total.
This old man is very proud and worth dating.
Lomo was very happy, and he also took out 10 gold coins to express his gratitude to Elliott as the middleman.
"I didn't expect Elliot that you could find such a big man to help. Thank you very much this time." Lomo thanked Elliot sincerely.
Elliot smiled and waved his hand and said: "No need to thank him, I don't have the ability to ask his old man for help. In fact, I just asked the people around me, but I didn't expect that Mr. Martin would suddenly come to me to talk about you. . I guess he knew your father, so he took the initiative to ask."
Hearing this, Luo Mo was noncommittal. He felt that it was not his father's fault.
It's not like old Martin is such an emotional person to be able to sit in this seat. Just because the son of an old friend is beyond reach, it is not consistent with common sense to help him like this.
Besides, his father was not a big shot, he was just a member of the Knights, and he probably didn't have much interaction with old Martin.
But this is impossible to say for sure. Who can tell clearly about the past events.
Next, the two people continued to discuss the sales of new products.
Gathered Courage and Gathered Sensitivity are both combat potions, while Essence Potion is a potion that serves low-level mages. The cost of these potions is not low, and the target customers are different from the rejuvenation potions.
Under normal circumstances, you need to contact the big lords or officials with knights and mages for sale.
Rejuvenation potions are intended for individual consumers, while these potions are intended for military groups. These are two completely different modes.
Elliot said he was helpless for the time being and that he was not yet capable of taking on such an order. After all, this will affect the balance of power among the lords, and this level of trade will attract a lot of attention.
Hearing this, Luomo expressed his understanding. He just wants to make some money. If he offends another group by selling to a certain group, it will be a bit more than the gain is worth the loss.
To put it bluntly, I am not strong enough now, and if I rashly intervene in such military-related matters, I may become someone else's pawn and bullet.
At that time, I am afraid that I will not be able to decide how much to produce, how to sell it, and who to sell it to.
However, if this business really gave up, Elliot would obviously be unwilling to do so. After all, combat potions generally sold for very high prices. He thought about it carefully and said, "Perhaps, you can consider selling to those mercenaries and bounty hunters."
"Mercenaries and bounty hunters?"
"Yes." Elliot nodded and explained, "In Volo There are several bounty taverns and mercenary camps in the city and Black Rock City. There are some free knights and free mages inside. They do not belong to any organization and usually accept employment from their employers to do some dangerous things. Such as assassinations, escorts or hunting Demonized beasts, etc. These people are very capable, they are all licking blood on the tip of a knife, and they need this kind of thing very much." "Is there any
risk of financial disputes when trading with them?" Luo Mo asked.
Elliot thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "In their line of work, credibility is the most important thing. When dealing with them, as long as the goods are good, they will pay very politely." "But... they are all a bunch of wanderers
. People in the gray area are inherently dangerous."
Luo Mo nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "Elliot, if you want to do it, I can give you 50% of the profit share. "
Fifty percent?" Elliot swallowed involuntarily when he heard this number.
His monthly salary at the city hall is 1 gold coin and 40 silver. The price of combat potions is at least 5 gold coins. Even more than 10 gold coins are not uncommon.
He once saw someone at an auction sell a famous great alchemist's combat potion for a sky-high price of a hundred gold coins.
This is equivalent to the price of a group teleportation scroll!
Those bounty hunters regard this kind of thing as a trump card to save their lives, and they don't know how to use it easily, so they never be stingy with their gold on it.
After all, life is priceless.
If Gathering Courage and Gathering Sensitivity are priced at 6 gold coins, he only needs to sell one bottle to get two months' salary.
Thinking of this, Elliot nodded solemnly and said, "Okay, I can give it a try!"
The two agreed again, and Romo called Barron and his servants to prepare to leave in a carriage.
Eliot now regards Romo as his god of wealth and insists on sending Romo to the city gate.
While passing near Martin Market, I suddenly heard a voice.
"Mr. Saldin, please stay, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Lomo stopped the carriage immediately and looked at the person who stopped him on the roadside.
This person was wearing a lake green robe and a long beard. He was none other than the deputy store manager of Witte House, Lexa William, whom he had seen in Black Rock City some time ago.
Luo Mo was a little stunned and said with a smile: "Mr. William, what do you want from me?"
He had some impression of the man in front of him. At that time, I had asked him about purchasing magic products. However, the deputy store manager did not help him at that time, and used this as an excuse to want him to hunt three owl beasts again to supply them.
The point is, he had a bad impression of the clerk and wanted to deliberately belittle his goods to trick himself. Lomo believes that ordinary employees rarely do this without the leadership's instructions.
After communicating with Eliot during this period, Romo now feels that Eliot seems to be much more reliable than William.
With a friendly smile on his face, William waved his hand and said: "We have some business matters, please come in and talk."
Lomo was confused. At this time, Elliot approached Lomo and said softly: "Wei The Te family once asked about the rejuvenation potion. I heard that their trading company is ruthless, so you have to be careful." When
Luo Mo heard this, he nodded slightly, jumped off the carriage and walked into the store.
The decoration and furnishings in the store are the same as those of the Witte House in Black Rock City. They are still so magnificent and dazzling.
William invited Romo into the inner room, poured a glass of wine, and said: "I wanted to help Mr. Saldin connect with the city hall that day, but I didn't expect that you, sir, know people from the city hall yourself."
Luo Mo smiled slightly and said: "The main reason is that the three owl beasts can't be hunted, so I have to go to the city hall to try my luck. I wonder what Mr. William wants to see me for today?" William originally wanted to get close to Luo Mo, but Luo Mo saw
that Mo asked straightforwardly and without wasting any more time, he said, "There is an alchemy product called Rejuvenation Potion that has been very popular on the market recently. Are you supplying it?" "Yes." Luo Mo nodded
. Firefox Trading Company has frequent contacts with his manor, and he can be found by casual inquiries, so Luo Mo has no need to hide it.
"It turns out that you are an alchemist. This is really impressive!" After receiving a positive reply, William continued: "That's right, our store manager is very interested in your rejuvenation potion and wants to talk to you. Cooperation."
"What kind of cooperation method?"
"For 100 gold coins, you will sell us the formula of the potion, and then our House of Witte will exclusively produce and sell it in the Volo Valley."
Lomo heard this, He immediately looked up at William.
The profit in the past two months alone has been more than 100 gold coins, and the Witte House actually wants to buy them all out with 100 gold coins.
Isn’t this bullying an honest person?
William saw Lomo's somewhat displeased expression and spoke again: "If Mr. Saldin feels it is less, you can increase it to 110."
Lomo suppressed his anger and said with a smile on his face: "I'm sorry. , I have already made an agreement with the city hall about the rejuvenation potion product. I am temporarily unable to cooperate with you, please understand." "
120 pieces." William raised the price again.
This time Luo Mo stopped talking and just shook his head.
William's originally friendly smile became a little stiff, and he said in a light tone: "It is actually better to cooperate with our House of Witte than to cooperate with the city hall. I am doing this for your own good." Lomo listened to the threat
. The tone was actually exactly the same as the threatening tone of the teller. The difference is that the deputy store manager said it more tactfully.
It seems that the House of Witte has always been accustomed to threatening others, and it is even more domineering than the city hall.
However, there is no way that Luomo would hand over such huge profits to others just because of this threat. If they just compromise like this, they will definitely push forward and step on anything.
After traveling to this world, Luo Mo had no intention of being a dog for others.
Faced with the threat, Luomo did not get angry and kept a smile on his face, saying: "I have indeed cooperated with the city hall. For business activities, we still need to have some integrity. I apologize to your store manager for me. In the future Maybe there will be opportunities for cooperation."
After saying this, he stood up to say goodbye, and then left the Witte House.
After Luo Mo left, William sat on the seat without seeing off the guests, and his face became very cold.
After a while, he stood up and walked across the corridor to the door of another room.
He did not go in, but waited carefully outside the house.
In the house, after several sudden screams, it finally fell silent.
"My lord, he did not agree." William said softly through the door.
"Did things go wrong?" The man's voice was somewhat dissatisfied.
William quickly apologized and said, "He just doesn't know the pros and cons. I'll arrange someone right away to make him change his mind." The
man continued, "You go ahead and handle Saldin's matter. It's going to be done."
"Don't worry, sir. "
Remember, you have to be measured and don't kill him. This is a talent, a chicken that can lay golden eggs." "Understood,
sir."
William slowly stepped back, and the sound sounded again in the room. Fierce gasping.
