Alien Arms Empire

Chapter 75 75 Negotiations
The negotiation process was actually not very smooth, but the reason was not because Tang Mo's products were too bad, but because Tang Mo's weapons were really good.

These weapons shocked the elves, and made the sensitive elf noble John realize that the era of change is coming.

Accompanied by the sea breeze, Tang Mo sat opposite John, and the two of them shared the delicacies that can only be enjoyed by elves and nobles, including the vegetables, meat and fish purchased in Bunas just now.

Of course, there was also a bottle of inferior moonshine wine from the elves that I did not know where to search.This thing is not often seen in Bunas, and it is difficult for many nobles to drink it.

Tang Mo continued the topic just now, he sold the production process of the K1 fast gun and a complete set of manufacturing technology, which is simply unbelievable for the elf nobleman John.

Because he really knows how much profit this thing will bring him once it starts mass production!He doesn't even have to go to the dangerous sea trade anymore, he just needs to lie at home and count the money.

"You can build a weapon workshop in your country and produce Tang's K1 fast guns according to the standards I have drawn up! For each rifle, I will charge a design fee of 1 gold coin..." He forked the vegetables with a fork , put it in his mouth to chew, Tang Mo said.

"But how do you know how many rifles I produce?" Although John didn't think it was expensive to charge one gold coin for a gun, he still asked curiously.

Because he knows that the profit of Cyric's flintlock gun is actually much higher than a gold coin, and every country can only rely on buying Cyric's flintlock gun!

If you can produce it yourself, the price will be transparent, so John feels that Tang Mo's cooperation model is reasonable and in line with the interests of both parties.

I only heard Tang Mo give a reasonable explanation: "It's very simple. I only charge a design fee of 10 pieces. If you produce more than 10 pieces, you don't need to continue to pay my design fee."

In the era of lack of effective regulatory means, this kind of one-shot sale is a more reasonable charging method.Tang Mo only needs to collect what he wants, and give up the rest, so that his personal pressure will be even less.

Making money is really too easy for an arms dealer like Tang Mo, as long as he can produce weapons, he can sell them to make money!

What really made Tang Mo stand at the top of arms dealers was actually the power to make rules!As long as the whole world manufactures and uses weapons according to his rules, the money he can earn will be ten times, hundreds of times, and tens of thousands of times more than the money he can earn from simply producing weapons!
John was taken aback for a moment, then thought he had found Tang Mo's loophole, and reminded him: "10? Do you know how long it takes to produce 20? It may take 3000 years! How many rifles can the Wright Kingdom produce in a year? ? [-] sticks?"

"That's all in the past! My friend! My professional production equipment can allow you to produce more than 2 rifles in a year! If you expand production capacity, it is not enough to produce [-] rifles a year." What a difficult task!" Tang Mo actually planned to sell his entire production equipment.

Anyway, the steam engine is not an advanced technology, and Tang Mo has more and better technologies that can be used, so Tang Mo actually doesn't pay attention to this kind of transitional equipment.

John felt that Tang Mo's so-called production equipment was not within the scope of his procurement, but he still coveted the production technology of the K1 fast gun.He thought about it, and started his bargaining journey from another angle: "I feel more and more that your words are not reliable. My friend!"

"You can visit my factory! I can promise you that as long as you spend money, I can provide the same equipment!" Tang Mo didn't care. He felt that asking John to visit his factory would be better than him here. Bragging is much stronger.

As long as John took a look, he knew exactly what he was facing.At that time, the gold coins would go into his pocket without Tang Mo blackmailing them.

"That's no problem. I'm very interested in your... factory! Since you are willing to let me visit your secrets, then I am very happy." John also felt that it would be a good idea to visit Tang Mo's place. s Choice.

At least, it was impossible for him to hand over countless gold coins to Tang Mo just because of Tang Mo's few words, so wouldn't he be a fool?
"Secret? It's not a secret at all! As long as you pay, my friend, I can sell you all these things!" Tang Mo waved his hand, pretending to be magnanimous, and said.

Life is like a play, all depends on acting skills.Tang Mo was going to exchange the greatest benefits from John, so his acting skills were definitely on the line, and John was very moved.

Of course, as to how much of John's touch was real, and how much of the fragile friendship they had just established was real, only God knows.

However, John also made a statement. Whether it was true or false, he gave his promise: "If the equipment you mentioned can increase the production speed of rifles, then I will definitely buy it."

Tang Mo made a gesture of toasting, and said a price that made the elf captain standing behind John gasp: "But in fact, if you buy the production technology of weapons, you should pay me The design fee, the total amount of this transaction has already reached more than 12 gold coins."

"These devices are not cheap, plus the design cost, it is estimated that it will take about 5 gold coins to pay back the cost." He continued to increase the huge sum of money.

"You worked harder than me on shipping, and you earned a lot more! Do you know? You want to make a deal with me for 17 gold coins now... This is no longer something I can decide on my own." A look of shock appeared on John's face, then he shook his head with a wry smile.

"Indeed, this deal is too big, or... we can also proceed with a part of it first!" Tang Mo also knew that based on the current price, this is definitely the biggest deal he can find so far.

So, he started to calculate like every treasure: "1 K15 fast guns, each 2000 gold coins, counting the package and the corresponding [-] rounds of ammunition, the total price is [-] gold coins!"

After finishing speaking, he stretched out two fingers again: "Two hundred revolvers, each with 72 gold coins, counting the supporting arm belts, 300 rounds of bullets and flash caps, a total of 19000 gold coins!"

In the end, he took a sip of the fine wine and added a number that made him feel elated: "The total price of the two weapons is 21000 gold coins, which is not a small amount."

"Don't worry, the transaction of 2 gold coins will be settled in cash! There is no problem." John knew that it would not be difficult for him to give [-] gold coins.

As long as these weapons are brought back to the Yangmu Kingdom, he can earn back ten times the profit.What's more, the political benefits that these things brought him were absolutely impossible to buy with [-] gold coins.

"The remaining 15 gold coins, in fact, I have no way to settle with gold coins, because although we have just sold all the goods, we don't have that many gold coins!" John spread his hands and made a Powerless gestures.

Having said that, he pointed to a sailboat docked in the distance, and said to Tang Mo: "According to what you said, if you want a boat, I can also use our family's boat to pay for it. The price of such a seagoing boat Probably ranging from 3000 gold coins to 7000 gold coins, depending on the size."

"For example, the ship under our feet... the Eternal Iris is a large sailing ship, and its cost is more than 6000 gold coins!" While talking, he really calculated the prices of these ships.

In this world, the price of an armed merchant ship is not a small amount, especially this kind of armed merchant ship with a huge tonnage, which is used to deliver goods and is equipped with cannons.

They are behemoths that can resist pirates, and they can barely be regarded as warships in war.As long as it is a coastal country, there will be such ships, and they are willing to build such multi-purpose ships.

John explained to Tang Mo the composition of his fleet, which was also part of the price reduction strategy: "But I only have 15 ships here, and these ships do not belong to me alone. They also include part of the property of the king of the Yangmu Kingdom."

"The approximate price of the sailboat I can sell to you...is only about 3 gold coins." He finally said a relatively conservative figure.

After all, no matter what, even for safety reasons, he must maintain a certain fleet size to ensure the absolute safety of navigation.

According to his thinking, he should keep at least 5 large merchant ships for his own use, and he can sell the remaining ten ships to Tang Mo.

The boats range from big to small, new and old, so prices vary.Some small old ones may be discounted for less than 2000 gold coins, and some new ones may cost as much as 5000 gold coins.

However, in general, 3 gold coins for ten ships is actually a very generous price. John is so frank, and the purpose is also very simple-I sold the sailing boats at a discount. Are the guns and equipment on your side? Should it be cheaper for me?
Sure enough, what he said next explained his frank purpose before: "Besides, the design cost of 10 gold coins is really too high... I hope it can be cheaper... For example, how about 3 gold coins?"

"[-]? My friend, at this price, I might not even have any pants left." Tang Mo said with a smile and waved his hands.

Just kidding, although the price he sold these weapons was ridiculously high, even Weiss who was standing next to him felt that the price given by Tang Mo was a bit exaggerated.

But even so, if [-]% of the price was cut off at once, then Tang Mo really wouldn't make any money.You must know that the most valuable part of the whole transaction is his "design innovation"-although, this research and development cost actually does not exist at all.
