Master of Thermodynamics

Renault rubbed his palm lightly, and said slowly:

"Your Excellency, simply using the selling price of the product to measure the cost is actually an extremely one-sided approach. It should include all aspects. Maybe you can easily understand it in another way, that is, the'comprehensive cost'."

"Take this batch of equipment purchased by the Knights as an example. I'm sure that if you use the equipment of the Meyers Chamber of Commerce, after a fierce battle, the death rate of the Knights will be at least 20% higher."

When Renault said this, Modric's face became ugly, and he opened his mouth to interrupt Renault.

But Renault had been prepared for a long time. This shit-chucking stick is so addictive. When the extraordinary speaks, you, an ordinary person who is not even the awakened, dare to intervene casually?

act recklessly!

With a move in Renault's heart, Modric suddenly felt his temple as if he had been punched, his brain buzzed, and his consciousness instantly blurred.

He shook a few times, and when he was about to fall, he felt his waist and legs as if being supported by something, his body was restrained in place like this, unable to move.

The leader of the knights, Alex, seemed to perceive something. The mental power fluctuations at that moment were incredibly powerful, as if a super monster hiding in the depths of the ocean suddenly emerged from the water, revealing a hideous face. , Making him feel terrified.

This level of mental power fluctuations can only be created by the top powerhouses among the transcendents, and the only transcendents present are him and Renault.

There is no doubt that this fluctuation must come from His Excellency Renault.

Alex couldn't help taking a sip of water and decided to pretend that he didn't see anything. At the same time, he secretly adjusted Renault's danger level to the highest level.

At this time, the Modri ​​Wizards realized what had happened.

Huge panic and extreme regret filled his heart. He turned his head to look at Renault, with a hint of prayer in his eyes.

Renault ignored Modric, but said to himself:

"Your Excellency, 20% more battle damage may mean 40-50 more knights killed and injured..."

Renault's voice became impassioned.

"In my opinion, these loyal and fearless knights are your sharpest spear and your strongest shield. Their value cannot be measured by money!"

The knights who were listening to Renault's speech all showed pride, and many people looked at Renault with gratitude.

It is definitely a great honor to get such an evaluation from a powerful transcendent Lord.

"More importantly, if there is a lot of downsizing in the Knights, even if you can re-recruit a group of people, the army that can be formed hastily, can there be a tacit understanding of the cooperation? Can the combat effectiveness be as strong as before?"

"No! Absolutely not! Any recruit will only become an experienced soldier if he has experienced enough war baptism..."

In Renault's endless explanations, Duke Byron's expression became more and more solemn, and he nodded slightly from time to time. It was obvious that he had already begun to agree with Renault's point of view.

Because Renault is right, it has taken a small advantage in the transaction, and it is likely to pay a greater price on the battlefield.

At this moment, Renault increased his voice and said the last paragraph.

"Your Excellency, as an extraordinary person, I have participated in many battles. I deeply understand that the factors that determine the outcome of a war are often insignificant advantages."

"More sophisticated armors and weapons sometimes just happen to be'certain trivial advantages', and they are also an important factor in whether your knights can win."

"Perhaps, at a critical moment in the future, the outcome of a war will most likely determine whether your territory can be preserved..."

The Duke of Byron suddenly showed thoughtfulness, he whispered "comprehensive cost" several times in a low voice, and suddenly understood the meaning of this word deeply.

He stood up straight, stared at Renault in admiration, patted his palms a few times, and said:

"Your Excellency Renault, your exposition on the'comprehensive cost' is very wonderful, and you have successfully convinced me!"

"I am willing to accept the offer of 11,000 Kinnar. The armor and weapons needed by the Knights will be supplied by the Haichao Chamber of Commerce..."

In these two sentences, the Duke of Byron used the honorific name "you" for the first time. Obviously Renault's performance has completely subdued him, making him feel that Renault is not only a powerful and extraordinary person, but also a wise man. An extraordinary wise man.

That's why he uses "you" to express his respect.

Renault bowed slightly to the Duke of Byron, and said calmly:

"Thank you for your appreciation. Please also believe that every weapon and armor delivered by the Haichao Chamber of Commerce will be of extremely high quality and will never be worse than the samples here."

He turned his head and glanced at Modric, "Shit Chucking Stick", and relaxed the restraint of his mental power.

Modric groaned in a low voice, and after taking a peek at Renault, his head drooped, and his whole body trembled slightly.

At this moment, in his mind, Renault was simply more terrifying than the devil, and given him ten thousand courage, he would not dare to go against Renault.

Goode, standing by his hand, stared at his lord with admiration and admiration.

He never expected that this kind of extremely difficult negotiation, under the clever mouth of the Lord Lord that could bring the dead to life, would have caused the Duke of Byron to accept the offer of the Chamber of Commerce in its entirety, without any discount.

If he takes the lead in the negotiation, I am afraid that a 20% or 10% discount is inevitable.

Alex coughed slightly and said:

"Your Excellency Renault, let's talk about the second order below. We need 2 sets of hot air balloons and 20 binoculars for the time being. In terms of prices, I hope you can offer a discount."

He added another sentence:

"In addition, if the actual use of the hot air balloon makes us satisfied, we will add more orders..."

Renault smiled brilliantly, showing white teeth.

"The unit price of a hot air balloon is 550 Kinnars, but if you want to master its driving method, you must receive professional training. Each hot air balloon needs a standard group of 10 people, and the training cost is 50 Kinnars."

"The unit price of the telescope is 65 kinnals, and the total price is 2,700 kinnals. As the first customer, I will give you a 15% discount. You only need to pay 2,300 kinnals."

"By the way, we will give an extra 2 tons of diesel for each set of hot air balloons. After the diesel is consumed, you need to buy it from the Haichao Chamber of Commerce. The price is 3 Kinnars/ton..."

The Duke of Byron and Alex looked at each other and readily accepted the price.

"Your Excellency Renault, come at your price."

We bought all weapons worth more than 10,000 Kinnars, and the Duke of Byron didn't bother to bargain for this small amount of money.

The smile on Renault's face increased. He bowed again and said:

"Your Excellency, you are really a generous nobleman. The total amount of these two orders is 13,300 kinnals. You need to pay a 30% deposit within three days, which is 4000 kinnals. All the equipment will be in one It will be delivered within a month, and the remaining payment will be settled on the spot..."

Reno Barabara kept talking, and his heart was already happy.

For the first time, he deeply understood that the arms business is so profitable. With Haichao's industrial standards and low-cost advantages, the net profit of this order is almost 90%.

Not to mention the profiteering products such as armors and hot air balloons. The fuel for hot air balloons, diesel alone, Renault sold at a sky-high price of 3 Kinnars/ton.

In fact, the cost of diesel is quite low. The black ice reserves in the Tide Islands are extremely amazing. A professional black ice collection ship can dig up more than 2,000 tons a day. The black oil distillation line can extract nearly 350 tons of diesel, and the average cost is no more than 10 silver nars/ton.

The several giant oil depots on Odin Island have long been filled, and it is really impossible to hold them. The consumption rate of various fuels can not keep up with the production speed. Now the distillation line has to reduce the production frequency, only every three days. Start construction once.

Even if the diesel is transported to the port of Copernicus over a long distance, the cost will not exceed 20 silver nars/ton. Compared to the price of 3 kinnars/ton, it is completely super profitable.

But the Duke of Byron had to accept this price, because the only sea tide chamber of commerce in All Worlds sold diesel, and even if he knew the message that "diesel was produced from black ice", he couldn't extract it.

This is the technical barrier. Whoever builds this barrier has the absolute right to speak. He can sharpen his sword and slaughter other people.
