Chapter 652: 652What a fair price
Chapter 652 652What a fair price
In the living room renovated by Anpu, Tang Mo finished his work and took the time to come over and meet with the two envoys who had come from afar.
Two anxious dwarfs were sitting on the sofa. When Tang Mo entered the room, they immediately stood up, bowed and said in greeting: "Great King of Tang, your admirers express their most sincere greetings to you."
Tang Mo made a casual gesture, then walked to the main seat, sat down and crossed his legs: "You two, the Ice Empire is not close to here, you didn't come here deliberately to greet me, right?"
“Your Majesty, you are joking.” The special envoy from the Ice Empire smiled awkwardly and quickly waved his hand to explain: “Of course not, or it’s not just to greet you.”
This dwarf envoy Tang Mo is acquainted with him. They met before in Bunas. At that time, Tang Mo was just a businessman, and this person was only a representative of the Ice Kingdom at that time.
Now, both of them seem to have taken a step forward. Tang Mo is already the king of a country, and this representative has become the special envoy of the empire.
It's just that Tang Mo's step was a bit too big, and he made it a little embarrassing for the old acquaintance of the Bingbing Empire in front of him.
"Then tell me what you want to do with me. You know me and know that I don't like to go around in circles. Time is money, my friend." Tang Mo took the wine glass from Weis' hand, but did not let Wei Si also poured a glass of wine for the two dwarves who had come from afar, which obviously represented an attitude.
Of course, Tang Mo would not laugh it off about the Ice Empire's betrayal. It may be a bit exaggerated to say that he will retaliate, but if you want to say that he is generous, you definitely don't know him well.
Like many Chinese people, he believes in the principle that when friends come, there is wine, and when wolves come, there are shotguns. In Tang Mo's opinion, all those who have owed him a debt must fall into the category of jackals...
The two dwarves looked at the wine glass in Tang Mo's hand and looked away bitterly. They knew that coming here this time would not go well, but they had a reason to come.
Some empires do not need to rely on sea transportation and do not need to worry about Tang State controlling the Endless Sea, so they can temporarily not study how to target Tang State's invincible battleships.
But all countries have an empty blue sky above their heads, and everyone has to seriously think about whether Tang's plane will drop bombs on their heads.
Yes, the two dwarves came just for the plane.
The special envoy headed by the leader smiled awkwardly, and then said: "The choice the Ice Empire made at that time was also out of necessity, and we withstood the pressure of many countries and remained neutral in this war..."
"Well, it seems that you have paid a lot." Tang Mo moistened his throat with wine and waved his hand gently. Behind him, Weiss put the information he had just received from the intelligence department on the table. .
"I found a lot of good things near Beiyuan City, including Binghan cars and 130mm howitzers. In addition to Mosin-Nagant rifles and dwarf corpses, I found almost all the ice I could buy. The industrial products of the Cold Empire..." Tang Mo made a gesture of invitation and motioned for the two dwarves to open the documents and read: "There are photos and detailed records of how they were seized from the people of the Qi Kingdom."
"Your Majesty..." The dwarf wanted to say something, but was stopped by the leading envoy with his hand. The dwarf did not look at the pile of intelligence documents. He took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, while thinking about what he was going to say next.
Soon, he reorganized his words and said: "Your Majesty, you were once a businessman. You know some things. In business, we, we..."
"You're right, business matters." Tang Mo nodded slightly, surprisingly agreeing with the dwarf envoy's point of view.
But what he said next made the two dwarves embarrassed again: "However, you dwarves are really not good businessmen. You bought my products without paying me, so... you said that you are doing business, isn't it a bit Not suitable?”
The ports and a large number of mines promised by the dwarves to Tang Mo were all taken back as Tang Mo established the Tang Kingdom.
These things are priceless because Tang Mo gave the dwarves a complete industrial system and at the same time gave them the opportunity to build a majestic empire.
With Tang Mo’s support, the Ice Kingdom could industrialize rapidly in such a short time, defeat the surrounding countries, and become the strongest Ice Empire in the northern region today!
"You have established a country, Your Majesty! If we do not take back the land we leased to you, it will be equivalent to selling the territory of our country. This is not legally allowed. Please forgive us for our helpless actions. "The dwarf envoy explained bravely.
"I've never seen you care so much about your territory before." Tang Mo said sarcastically, shaking the wine glass in his hand: "But after all, you didn't fulfill your promise to me! You took away my goods, but you didn't give me enough. The payment was agreed upon in the first place!”
Tang Mo said and looked at Weiss: "Wes, do you still remember how much the person who owed us money paid last time?"
"Remember." Weiss nodded lightly: "Moreover, they forgot the price they paid, and this time they appeared on the list of debtors." "Oh! I remembered, the Yangmu Kingdom is Right?" Tang Mo nodded, as if he had just remembered such a place: "It's okay, Weiss, we will collect the debt when we have time."
This was almost a naked threat, and the dwarf also heard the threat, but he really had nothing to do.
After all, he came here to ask for something, so he kept his posture very low. Even though his smile was very stiff, he could only bite the bullet and continue: "This time, we promise to give you the full payment."
"Your credibility is not very good. With all due respect, since you took away my Eternal Winter City, your guarantee is worthless to me." Tang Mo curled his lips with a look of contempt.
“…” No matter how thick-skinned he was, the dwarf envoy no longer knew how to answer the question. In Datang Group, the credit of Binghan Empire has gone bankrupt. This is indeed an indisputable fact.
They recaptured the Everwinter City belonging to the Datang Group, and also occupied all the mines belonging to the Datang Group, and even the machinery for mining ore was taken over for their own use.
In the face of such facts, it is nonsense to talk about credibility: this is not a matter of thousands of gold coins, this is a breach of contract of tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of gold coins.
However, the dwarf envoy still wanted to try to convince Tang Mo again. He spread his hands and opened his mouth to attack Tang Mo's army: "With all due respect, Your Majesty... we are not the only ones who have lost credibility with you. Cold Empire?"
"Yangmu Kingdom, Susus Empire, Lions Empire, Dorne Empire... Look, you can't refuse to do business with almost the entire Eastern Continent, right?" The dwarf grasped the key point, and he was somewhat helpless. It means to blame the public.
Tang Mo nodded, and then pointed at the other party with his hand: "It's true that he has studied in Bunas for a few days, and his ability to grasp key points is pretty good."
"In a sense, you are still my principal." The dwarf immediately established a relationship, and the smile on his face became more natural and brighter.
"So, let's talk about it, what do you... want to buy from me?" Tang Mo really couldn't give up half of the world's market, so he planned to listen to the other party's demands first and see if he could make changes. The unfavorable situation in which oneself is the enemy of the whole world.
"We plan to buy the technology to make airplanes." The dwarf envoy explained his purpose and stared at Tang Mo's face with hope.
Tang Mo did not refuse immediately, but stared at the wine glass in his hand and thought for a while. When the two dwarf envoys started to get a little irritable while waiting, he asked: "So, at what price are you going to buy my aircraft manufacturing technology?"
"How about 100 million gold coins...?" the dwarf envoy tentatively gave a price that sounded very good.
Tang Mo shook his head, obviously very dissatisfied with the price: "Sorry, this money may not be enough to repay the losses caused by the seizure of Everwinter City and the mine..."
"We can return the mine to you..." The dwarf envoy gritted his teeth and posted a huge sum of money.
Who knew that Tang Mo burst out laughing after hearing this: "Hahahaha! I don't dare to ask for your mine. I might have to go back one day. Wouldn't I have to spend my energy collecting debts again? I'm very busy, but I don't I’m in the mood to play this boring game of back-tracking with you.”
At this point, the dwarf envoy didn't know what to say. His empire couldn't afford more gold coins, because giving more would seriously affect the normal operation of the country's economy.
It can make up the difference with things such as mine, and they have a former subject that does not talk about credibility, which makes him a bit embarrassed.
“If the whole family can’t afford it, why don’t we all join in, pay with one hand, and deliver the goods with the other, neatly? Wouldn’t it be great?” Tang Mo couldn’t help but give the dwarves an idea.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean...?" When the dwarf heard that Tang Mo was really interested in selling aircraft technology, he immediately became energetic and asked excitedly.
"Since the Ice Empire alone cannot afford it, let's add Cyric, then the Dorne Empire, the Lions Empire, the Susas Empire... plus the Dahua Empire... okay?" Tang Mo said in one breath. The names of many countries have been issued.
"This, how, how can this be done?" The dwarf was a little surprised and didn't know what Tang Mo meant.
"One hundred million for a country! What a fair price..." The dwarf saw the ferocious light in Tang Mo's eyes.
