Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

Kant made it clear that he did not want to return the dragon corpse.

Santos pondered in his heart.

To be reasonable, the "Dragon Blood Manifesto" that Longdao informed the countries has made this very clear. The dragons want to do business, so they must be disciplined and reasonable.

- The hired dragon goes to your country to kill and set fire. It is a war. You kill it and maim it. It is a skill. We will not pursue it. Of course, the captured dragon and the dead dragon corpse must be returned. , don't take it for nothing, give money, and the price is very fair.

With the pride, status and pomp of the dragon, not only did he declare that he would not be held accountable, but he also obediently paid the ransom to get the corpse back. It can be said to be quite abiding by the rules. In order to save face, what should the country that killed the dragon refuse to return the body?

Of course it's on.

Longdao has done his best, and it is you who do not give face.

Then even if you destroy your country, the countries will not say anything.

Obviously, the deterrent power of the dragon race is enough. Even the elves and the human empire are willing to give Dragon Island this face and won't make things too ugly... let alone other countries.

But here is an accident after all.

Kant revealed his unwillingness to return the dragon corpse.

And Long Dao was not willing to fight him easily.

Because the pay and the income are really disproportionate...

Santos' thoughts turned.

He could understand why Kant was unwilling to pay it back.

That's a dragon.

Life is legendary creatures, death is epic material.

Dragon blood can be used as medicine, dragon scales can be used to forge equipment, keel can make weapons, dragon eyes can make staff, dragon teeth can make arrows... The whole body is full of treasures, strategic resources among strategic resources, the dream of alchemists, spellcasters A favorite, the ultimate biological product in the field of otherworldly materials.

It's just that these dragon materials are all found on dragons, so they are extremely rare and valuable.

It is not surprising that Kant, as a powerful alchemist, was fascinated by these epic materials.

After all, although the ransom given this time is enough, the money to buy three complete dragon corpses is still a daydream. No one knows the value of those three dragon corpses better than Santos.

That's a top commodity that money can't buy.

Santos thought for a while, and then he looked up and said, "His Royal Highness Kant, can I have a secret talk with you? Just the two of us."

Snowfall Sword Saint raised his eyebrows and said, "No."

Santos said sincerely: "The next topic is really important, and the second person cannot be told that the Snowfall Swordsman and the Crimson Queen can watch out of the window. We will answer each other with a quiet scroll. If I have any hostile actions, the two can do it. Killed me the first time—how about that?"

The eyes of several people turned to Kant, Kant pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay."

Tina immediately went to arrange a secret chat room. In the other world of swords and magic, there is a lot of demand, because some conversations and transactions cannot be known to the third person, but the two face each other, curses, scrolls, spells, and martial arts. …There are so many dangerous factors, and the big guys usually take their lives.

So the secret chat room came into being.

At this time, Kant was sitting on a chair made of magic grain steel, and the power of magic was flowing all over his body. There were three kinds of top defense spells engraved, which could also isolate vicious magics such as mind interference and curse spells, and reduce the elements. An active array covers the whole room, and there is an escape mechanism under the chair...

Can be described as foolproof.

"Smiled."

When Tina and the others went out, Kant looked at Santos opposite and smiled helplessly: "I am very fragile, and they are very concerned about my personal safety..."

- I believe you are a ghost, are you really weak, will you still say it?

Santos remained calm and immediately got to the point.

He said sincerely: "Let me be blunt, does His Highness prefer the precious materials of the remains of the giant dragon more than the ransom provided by our company, so he is not very willing to return it?"

Kant thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, there is indeed a point, they are actually very useful."

Santos nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "That is to say, if our company is willing to give you some dragon materials, and we are also willing to provide a stable supply to His Highness at a price of 20% off the market price in the future, will His Highness be willing to return it? Dragon corpse?"

-Um?

-What did you say?

Even though Kant's palace was deep, he was still surprised when he heard this.

I thought I was hallucinating.

He asked slightly uncertainly: "What... were you talking about?"

Santos looked calm and said slowly: "I am in awe of His Highness's power and recognize His Highness's character, out of respect, so I will only tell you, the price fluctuations and supply market of dragon materials that are secretly circulated throughout the continent, It's all controlled and monopolized by the company."

"…"

"…"

-Hey!

I thought only Canada would sell the leaves!

Kant was dumbfounded for a moment.

In the novels I read before, the dragon race was either a mount reservation, a mount reservation at night, an experienced baby, or a villain who was beaten. In short, it must be arrogant, and it must be said that the humble human must be called by the protagonist as a lizard and a reptile, Taikoo In the novels of the times, I also like to eat barbecue, usually sleep in the treasure pile, or rob everywhere, or be tamed by humans, and my life is very boring.

I just found out today that those are all fake dragons.

The real dragon, who runs a company, works as a mercenary, sells dragon bones, monopolizes the market, controls pricing power, and unifies industry standards.

This style is not right.

Moreover, it is enough to open a company to be a mercenary. How can you sell the corpses of your family?

To be reasonable, the dragons in the novel will fight when they see bone dragons, they will hunt down dragon slayers, and they hate the trade in dragon bones. The organ trade hates it very much. If you see someone digging a grave, you must call the police.

He pondered: "This is really... It's hard for me to think of it."

Santos is a human being, and seeing Kant's expression, he knows what he is thinking.

"You must be wondering why my company has the business of selling dragon bones."

Kant nodded.

The chief marketing officer of Dragon Clan Defense sighed: "This is a helpless move to limit and crack down on the illegal trade in dragon bones, thereby protecting the lives of the Dragon Clan compatriots."

- I believe you are a ghost, you all monopolized the market and got the pricing power.

Santos explained slowly.

The dragon is full of treasures and epic materials, who knows who uses it.

Dragon scale, keel and dragon teeth can create top-level weapons and equipment, and dragon blood and dragon skin can create excellent quality spell scrolls. These can make an individual, family, organization, or even a small country's strength have an immediate improvement, and the value is extremely high. Strategic significance.

To put it simply, if a country can kill a giant dragon and disassemble its whole body into materials to create weapons, equipment, arrows, scrolls and staffs, it can immediately arm an invulnerable, fierce-fire magic-guided vanguard. troops, and can even decide the direction of a small war.

But after all, the dragon is an ancient species. It is naturally tyrannical and has the Dragon Island as a deterrent. There is no country or organization that dares to hunt and kill the dragon.

Not to mention the low success rate, if you succeed, you will have to face Long Island's revenge.

But where there is demand, there will be a market. Scarcity can often lead to sky-high prices for huge profits, and sky-high prices will induce more people to take risks. This is the inevitable law of free trade.

Although there is a severe attack by the dragon clan, although the dragon material is expensive and has no market, it does not prevent the nobles and spellcasters from vigorously pursuing it, and the price has been raised to the sky. , so that bold people make a lot of money.

This economic phenomenon makes the dragons think deeply.

Immediately, in a high-level closed-door meeting of the dragon defense, His Majesty the Dragon Emperor threw a question about his soul.

- Are those dragon scales, dragon blood, dragon bones, dragon hearts and dragon eyes from our people?

The directors nodded.

—Should those hateful guys sell things from our clansmen?

Everyone nodded in unison.

- Obviously it belongs to our dragon family. They sold it so expensively that Huang Chengcheng's gold coins all flowed into their pockets. Wouldn't it be more damning if you think about it?

The dragons began to nod wildly, envy and hatred mixed, twisting ugly fruits.

Then, His Majesty the Dragon Emperor gave a loud shout: "Dragon belongs to the material, it is the wealth of our dragon, we can't stop this kind of transaction, at least we have to earn the money ourselves!"

"…"

Fortunately, the executives of the Dragon Defense Company are either the heirs of His Majesty the Dragon Emperor, or they have experienced the baptism of the capital economy.

Instead, he listened carefully to the thoughts of His Majesty the Dragon Emperor.

And brainstorm ideas to improve.

"Everything in the world, most of them have a hurdle. If you step over, you will see the sky and the sea."

Santos said: "After His Majesty the Dragon Emperor and the members of the board of directors understand, this matter is much simpler. After all, the dragon materials in the market are all from dragons, and this big money is actually used by those Thieves, robbers and profiteers have earned, is there still justice? Is there justice?"

"So the dragon defense entered the field."

"Dragon Island has the most stable supply, as well as an exclusive franchise that even the gods can't refute, those pigs and dogs in the shadows, where are our opponents, in this world, the dragon defense is the only one qualified to sell dragons For the skeletons, only the dragon skeletons we sell are called dragon skeletons. If someone secretly sells dragon skeletons that are not approved by us, they are the enemies of the dragon clan! The dragon clan defense should be dispatched."

"Go to the Brotherhood to place an assassination order, or we will send the dragon operators directly."

"If it is the Chamber of Commerce, attack their caravan, if it is a noble, destroy their castle. On the one hand, it declares that whoever dares to buy these illegal dragon skeletons is the enemy of the dragon tribe. On the other hand, it provides better quality and better price. Commodities, so that the dragon skeletons in the hands of those thieves, pigs and dogs can't be sold."

"—they are illegal!"

"After a while, these filthy thieves learned a thing or two."

"That is - they want to sell dragon bones to make money, and get us here to get the goods."

Kant was dumbfounded listening to Santos talking about business. His marketing department even invited scholars to make a standard mathematical model, and calculated how much to ship in a month, so as to maintain the high price and guarantee considerable profit.

"We have to be careful, our shipping price is too high, and the dealer must add a little more. If the price is too high, no customers are willing to buy it, and the black market will start smuggling dragon bones again, but the price is set too low, we make money. If there are too few, it will be a loss, and too many customers are accumulated at one time, but it is not good..."

The chief marketing officer said it well, and gave another example of selling at both ends.

"The Vizier family has strong financial resources, while the Lavis family is slightly inferior. The two are deadly rivals. We sell some to the Lavis family at a lower price. Their strength will be enhanced, and the power comparison with the Vizier family will soon be If it is out of balance, then the Vizier family must also have a need to buy dragon skeletons. They have strong financial resources and are eager to buy, so we can take the opportunity to increase the price..."

Kant nodded again and again and sighed. Damn it, if these giant dragons figure out the financial routine, that's pretty cool. I'm afraid it won't take a few years before they can make money.

He said in a subtle tone: "So, the corpses of the giant dragons who died in battle are all yours..."

"No no no, that's not it."

Santos hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Even if the Dragon Clan Defense is a company, it has the name of the Dragon Clan. It's good that His Majesty is the chairman, but before this, it was the Dragon Emperor. These cadres fought for the company's cause and died. After that, they should be buried in a grand burial, they are the pillars of the company, His Majesty the Dragon Emperor and my good brothers, how can we do such an excessive thing?"

If you think about it this way, it is actually true. If the dragon workers know this, it will be against the sky. Although Dragon Defense is a company, its employees are all dragons, and they cannot be squeezed to this point.

He asked: "Then your source of goods..."

Santos grinned and said, "No one knows how many giant dragons there are in this world, but His Majesty has it in his heart. Since ancient times, the living dragons and the dead dragons are not all good dragons, but there must be evil among them. Dragons, those who fought against His Majesty and betrayed the great cause of the Dragon Clan, these dragons are guilty, they want to apologize to Long Island, the dead dragons, of course, use their bodies to apologize, and the living dragons..."

He said with a low smile: "According to the laws of the dragon clan, it is sentenced to imprisonment, please take a seat in Suolongyuanli, Longdao is very concerned about the rights of the clan, even if it is a prisoner, it must guarantee the dragon's right, not beat, not scolded, and eat and drink. , there are doctors on call at all times, they can also watch theatrical performances, there are books to read, everything, and the way they apologize to Long Island is to continuously provide their blood, scales, and even skin..."

Grass.

Dragon farming.

Harvested alive.

Did you **** automate it?

Santos smiled and said: "The world says that the elves have established the most fair and advanced judicial system, I think that is just the pointy ears boasting, my dragon's judicial system is the first in the world, extremely advanced, and attaches great importance to the power of prisoners, such as sinful giants. Dragon, you want to apologize with death, but every giant dragon is the darling of the gods, we usually only sentence the death with a reprieve, and the execution will be suspended for more than ten years to several decades..."

"...I probably understood."

Grass, too grass.

Kant is an eye-opener, the alienation effect of capital is indeed terrifying.

Good dragons have become like this.

He knew why Santos said this.

Don't want to return the dragon corpse, do you? It's because of their gluttony, right?

We will send you a batch directly, and then supply it at a low price, you can sell it or use it yourself.

Is it interesting enough?

...but really not enough.

But that's also good news.

The dragon family, at least the Dragon King and the Santos in front of them, have changed their way of thinking into the shape of capitalists, making money first, and the only reason for using force is that you are obstructing other people's free trade.

Then this dead end can be opened.

He let out a long sigh: "I can understand it. In the words of the ambassador, in Aurora's words, there are four words."

Santos asked, "What word?"

It was in Aurora, which was a bit sloppy, but I could really understand it.

Kant said with a smile: "Harmony makes money."

The chief marketing officer clapped his hands and said, "Yes! That's it! His Royal Highness Kant is right!"

Kant added: "Look at this trouble, it is really too much bullying by the elves. At that time, there was a 100,000 panic, and I couldn't keep my hands. It hurt the friends of the dragon family. I'm really sorry."

Santos waved his hand and said, "This is the destiny destined by God the Father, and it is also an uncontrollable occupational risk."

Kant sighed: "In the end, it not only harmed a few friends of the dragon clan, but also brought a lot of trouble to your company. Brother, I am very uneasy. When your envoy came to Goethe, he did not start a teacher, and he did not. Asking for guilt, but greeted with a smile, respected everywhere, gave me enough face for Kant, and really taught me to be grateful and ashamed."

Santos smiled and said: "Where, in the words of Aurora, it's called no fight, no acquaintance."

The two pretended to be polite, and Kant leaned forward: "That little brother is arrogant and open up the matter, His Majesty the Dragon Emperor and His Excellency Santos must have a headache for this matter? The brothers are young and energetic, and they don't know how to advance or retreat. I killed a few Dragon friends and made your company's reputation and business ability questioned. There will definitely be a lot of economic losses. If I guess correctly, your envoy came to Goethe and welcomed the remains of the Hui people as an excuse. The most important thing, How to solve this problem.”

Santos's expression became solemn, and he cupped his hands and said, "That's right, why did His Highness Kant teach me?"

- This forced Aurora is really good, and she can actually speak in a gentle manner.

Kant smiled and said, "Your envoy came from afar, don't you have a proposal in mind?"

Santos blinked: "It's just an immature idea, I want to hear from you first."

"Good to say."

Kant thought for a while and smiled: "I killed three giant dragons, which hurt the face of the dragon clan, and also hurt the professional reputation of your company. Is that right?"

"That's right."

"In that case..."

Kant put his arms on the table, smiled even more brilliantly, and said slowly: "I also lost to you once, how?"
