Chapter 68: 68Happy cooperation
Chapter 6868Happy cooperation
"I hope you won't talk nonsense anymore. Aren't you going to pay a penny for our cooperation?" Leo looked at Tang Mo, as if he wanted to see some clues from Tang Mo's face.
But Tang Mo's face showed nothing but calmness. It seems that this is what he thinks. He doesn't plan to spend a penny, he just wants the information network of Silver Fox Tavern.
This feeling makes Leo very uncomfortable. In fact, the Silver Fox Tavern's industry has always been all his hard work that he is proud of, and he does not want anyone to despise everything he has created.
This is like you spent several months painting a painting, and in the end someone said you could exchange it for two buns and a bottle of Coke...
So, Leo even felt that Tang Mo was humiliating him, which made him very unhappy as a sponsor of many homeless people in Bunas.
Tang Mo also felt that if he continued to tease the old man in front of him like this, he might ruin the business in front of him.
He didn't want to give up this ready-made intelligence network. The moment he saw the old man Leo, he felt that this intelligence network should be controlled by Tang Mo and become his eyes and his strength in the darkness.
I don’t know why, but he just felt this way, so he changed his tone and said to Leo: "Actually, I think it is more suitable for us to establish cooperation first, and then talk about philistine things like gold coins."
Leo Ao was a little angry and shook his head at Tang Mo angrily: "In this case, I think there is no need for us to talk any more."
"Before I leave, can you tell me why you came to my place this time?" Tang Mo was not annoyed, he just looked at Leo and asked a curious question.
He knows that if it is just pure cooperation, the other party will definitely not come forward. Even the big bartender didn't have to go to Tang Mo's weapons workshop in person.
So Tang Mo knew that the other party must have some purpose, and there must be some entry point that he could use to promote cooperation between them.
Leo Ao was not polite at all, stared at Tang Mo and sneered: "I don't think it is meaningful to talk to a madman."
"At least you don't have to worry about a madman's nonsense leaking the secret, right?" Tang Mo pointed at himself and laughed at himself.
He also knew that his behavior of not taking out the money was actually very insincere. The other party can sit here and listen to him talk so much nonsense, which is actually quite restrained.
So, he showed an attitude like a hob, and after laughing at himself, he continued to say to Leo: "Tell me, maybe, I can handle your matter?"
"Well, I don't know why. Maybe I'm crazy. I actually thought you might help me realize a wish buried deep in my heart." After thinking for a while, Leo finally sighed and said to Poor Tang Mo said.
In fact, he also guessed the general situation of Tang Mo: on the one hand, Tang Mo actually needs an intelligence network very much, and on the other hand, he does not seem to have much funds.
He could tell from Tang Mo's eagerness to make a joke but couldn't hide it that Tang Mo desperately needed the power of the Silver Fox Tavern to assist him.
He could also judge from the endless construction sites outside Tang Mo's office that Tang Mo would never be able to save much money due to his expansion speed.
Just by looking at it, it is very clear that at Tang Mo's pace of expansion, he estimates that the gold coins left in his pocket are not as much as Weiss's private money. Even though Tang Mo tried his best to hide it, he still couldn't hide something so obvious.
After all, Leo is an old fox. He has lived for so many years. Without this bit of vision, he would not be where he is today.
In fact, one of the main reasons why he was able to sit still and not leave is because he saw Tang Mo's shameless tenacity that covered up his disadvantages until his death.
"Tell me, maybe I can really help?" Tang Mo was a man of two generations, and he was also a man who had seen wind and waves. He knew that the other party had most likely figured out his disadvantages, so he simply started to stay single.
In any case, both sides get what they need and "ask for others", so no one needs to look down on the other. Can't we just have a good talk in the spirit of cooperation that benefits both parties?
The old man Leo sighed and seemed to be considering his words. Tang Mo did not disturb him and allowed him to perform his art.
Finally, Leo spoke. He looked at Tang Mo and said with a bit of sadness: "Okay... okay... before I came here, I thought you could take me or my body one day. Back to my hometown.”
Tang Mo tried hard to search for that distant and mysterious place in his memory, but found nothing.
He knew that his father Tang Qi and his mother were from there and were criminals there, and had no right to return to that place in their lifetime.
But for him, apart from the fact that the people there also have oriental faces, which makes him feel more friendly, to be honest, he really doesn't have much nostalgia for his so-called hometown.
So, he opened his mouth and asked for confirmation: "The east side of the Endless Sea?"
"Yes, go back there and bury me in my hometown." Leo coughed twice and pointed at himself: "It's a pity that now it seems that you don't have the ability to do this." "People don't speak secretly, old gentleman." Tang Mo stopped his smile, changed his tone, and said, "Although you are old, you are still far from Tuogu. The intelligence network of Silver Fox Tavern is very important to you. It's very precious to me. Just sending you back to your hometown to bury you is not worth such a high price. "
"So, I say you may not be able to afford an industry as big as the Silver Fox Tavern." Leo clasped his fists with his hands and rested them on his chin.
"Actually, I can eat it, but I need some time." Tang Mo thought for a few seconds and said to Leo.
"Oh? How long do you think it will take for you to get enough gold coins to support the entire Silver Fox Tavern news network? Half a year? One year? Or ten years?" Leo grinned sarcastically.
Tang Mo thought about it seriously and gave an answer that stunned Leo: "Probably, 3 months, 5 months at the latest..."
This time was not given casually by Tang Mo, but a very reasonable time that he had carefully calculated.
Three months later, his steam engine is likely to be of great use in Beiling, and many customers may give him orders.
If these orders are obtained, Tang Mo feels that he still has money to expand his intelligence business. So the minimum period he gave was three months.
As for the six-month period, Tang Mo was thinking that after the Beiling war was won, he would most likely get a large war bonus.
Once Count Fisherow wins the war, he will be able to get a large sum of money, a large area of land, and a large amount of resources...
With these things, he can expand unscrupulously and build himself into a real group.
At that time, he will own all kinds of wealth including mines, roads, fields, and factories, and then let these wealth produce more wealth for him.
“You really can get a sum of money in just 3 months?” Leo asked in disbelief.
Tang Mo nodded and said, "Actually, I'm a little more conservative. If we calculate based on the fastest time, I can come up with a sum of money to start our cooperation within about 2 months."
"In addition, I have a lot of information transmission technologies here that can be shared." Tang Mo was still obsessed with his telegraph system, so he suggested: "When my experiments are completed, I can also use the technology to participate in the shares." Way to increase investment in Silver Fox Tavern.”
"Then, I will carefully investigate Cyric's transportation of steel within these two months. Don't worry... I will give you a definite message." Leo thought for a while and promised Tang Mo.
He had wanted to cooperate before. Since Tang Mo only needed two months, he was willing to wait patiently.
"I can provide you with two revolvers! With these for self-defense, your people may be safer in certain actions." Naturally, Tang Mo would not refuse or waste his gold coins, so He took out the revolver product and planned to win over the people in the Silver Fox Tavern.
"We have a lot of Cyric's flintlocks." Old Leo said confidently.
"Believe me! Cyric's weapons are all rubbish!" Tang Mo laughed loudly: "Wes! Take your weapons, go to the shooting range, and show Mr. Leo what our revolver has. How terrible!"
"No problem!" After hearing the order, Weiss appeared at the door, opened the door and made a gesture of invitation.
“So. Happy cooperation?” Tang Mo began to eat happily. He didn’t want to waste the large dinner cooked by Aunt Cuixi.
"Happy cooperation!" Leo nodded, and stood up directly without staying to eat, letting the bartender support him, and left Tang Mo's factory.
When walking out of Tang Mo's office, the bartender saw Weiss waiting there. Weiss once again made an invitation gesture and led the two of them towards the new shooting range.
When the bartender who supported Leo and old man Leo left Tang Mo's factory, both of them had heavy expressions.
Because the bartender was carrying a wooden box in his hand. Inside the box were two mass-produced revolvers produced by Tang Shi.
There are no fancy carvings or other messy decorations. Two ordinary pistols just lie quietly in the box. There are dozens of flash caps and dozens of bullets inside.
After seeing this weapon firing continuously, both Leo and the bartender seemed to have a different understanding of Tang Mo.
