Chapter 260 Community of Interests
"What's the result?" Green asked in a light tone. In fact, he had already guessed the result.
"According to the news from the Special Bureau of Wolf City, after the three legendary powerhouses from other worlds were exposed, they fled all the way to the nearby Lanlok Desert, entered the depths of the desert, and still did not escape. They were dispatched by the royal family and the Church of the Holy Light. An unknown number of legendary powerhouses were besieged, and it was finally confirmed that the Centaur Druid was dead, the Rat Man Assassin was dead, and the Human Mage was missing."
"Oh?" Gran was slightly surprised, he thought all three of them had fallen: "I didn't expect that the mage who specialized in lightning spells escaped."
"Yes, a notification will be issued from above, so that the special bureaus in various places will pay more attention to this person." Laura said, pushing the document in front of Green and motioning him to sign it, which is also the purpose of her visit.
In fact, this news is not important to Green, after all, Wolf City is more than 3,000 kilometers away from Langton City, and the escaped legendary mage Murray will not hide here.
Swish, he waved his pen, signed his name, and handed the information back to Laura. Green looked at his watch and asked, "Is the old one-eyed here?"
"I'm already waiting outside, do I need to call him in in advance?" Laura replied.
"Tell him to come in." Green nodded: "Let the secretary come in with a cup of tea, after all, he is an old friend."
"Okay!" Laura smiled and turned to go out. After a while, an old one-eyed man in a formal suit walked in with a smile on his face. After seeing Green, he looked even more humble. He was originally a peripheral member of the Dietrich family, but now the decline of the Dietrich family has affected his business. Fortunately, he has a network in the capital, but he will not be in Dietrich. Family man hanged from a tree
Green shook hands with him heartily, and talked about some past events. After the secretary came in with tea and took a sip, he got to the point: "Old One-eyed, we don't need to beat around the bush in our relationship, I mean you to come here. It should be understood that at least 10,000 enchanted rifles and more than 100 field guns, I can trade in gold, you can tell me how long it will take to get them."
Saying that, Green took out a heavy, palm-sized gold brick from the drawer of the desk and threw it on the table with a bang.
This is the gold produced by the gold mine in the misty world. Not long ago, the pioneering force led by the kobold shaman broke through a goblin tribe and discovered a large underground gold mine by the way.
Because of this gold mine, Green had the confidence to ask for 10,000 enchanted rifles and hundreds of field guns.
Such a large number immediately frightened the old one-eyed to take a breath. He couldn't help but look at Green with a strange look, wondering if this guy was going to rebel? However, given Green's status and the current situation of the kingdom, it is unlikely to rebel, but if it is not a rebellion, why do you want those weapons? That was a big deal worth hundreds of thousands of pounds!
"What? Is there any difficulty?" Seeing that the other party didn't speak, Green frowned slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
The breath leaked out inadvertently, making the old one-eyed shiver, and the cold sweat on his forehead broke out. It felt like being stared at by an ancient beast. Even the high-ranking backer behind him did not have such tyranny. momentum.
The old one-eyed came back to his senses in fright, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said quickly: "Sir, it is indeed a little troublesome, you also know about Faerun City and Fredenburg, the kingdom has been tense from top to bottom recently, no It's as loose as before, as long as you make some money, and you can get it up and down, there will be no problem. Moreover, the amount you want this time is too large, and I have no right to make the decision, so I have to report it."
Green smiled. In fact, he is not in a hurry to get tens of thousands of enchanted rifles. The reason why he said that is to beat the old one-eyed, and by the way, let the person behind the old one-eyed look at his strength, so as to lay a good foundation for continued cooperation in the future, so as to avoid The other party has shallow eyelids and doesn't take himself seriously.
Green got up, walked around the desk, came to the old one-eyed side, patted him on the shoulder and said, "I want less, how can you make money? Don't worry, these weapons will not appear in the kingdom and will not be given to you. It will cause trouble. As for the tightness of the investigation, it does not matter. I can give you time to deliver the goods in ten times within the next year, which should be no problem. "
The old one-eyed eyes lit up, and greed flashed in his eyes. If he completes this transaction, he can earn at least 20,000 gold pounds from it. He has no way to refuse this amount, even if he faces the risk of being hanged on the gallows. And the reason why he said that just now was to explore Green, see Green's bottom line, and try to fight for rights.
Half an hour later, the old one-eyed left Green's office excitedly. Next, he had to make a trip to the capital in person, in order to facilitate the deal no matter what.
With a slightly excited mood, the old one-eyed was walking downstairs, just in time to see Vincent walking up. The two met face to face, nodded slightly to each other, then passed by, and the old one-eyed turned and disappeared at the corner of the stairs.
Vincent stopped and looked back. Vincent is no stranger to this famous black market boss in Langton City, but his identities are different. Every time he comes forward, it is the Laurens butler, and he does not need Vincent. The viscount heir appeared in person.
"He actually came here directly. What did Green have to do with him? It was rumored that Green had a close relationship with this old one-eyed. It doesn't seem to be groundless."
Vincent walked into Green's office with a few questions.
Compared to meeting the old one-eyed just now, the atmosphere of meeting with Vincent was much more relaxed and harmonious. Green smiled, still the same as in the past, but Vincent's enthusiasm was inevitably a little more cautious and respectful. In dealing with people, Vincent is indeed extraordinary, showing caution and respect that does not make people feel alienated but very comfortable.
After a few greetings, Green went straight to the subject and asked, "How is it? How did Uncle Paul think about the thing I said yesterday?"
Vincent smiled and said: "When you return to Langton City this time, the family will naturally give full support. My father has given me full responsibility and mobilize all the resources of the family to cooperate with you."
"Very well, I knew that Uncle Paul would not let me down." Green nodded with satisfaction: "It's not too late, immediately prepare the site to recruit workers, and open the factory as soon as possible."
It turns out that Greene proposed to Viscount Paul last night to build a factory to manufacture all kinds of equipment. At present, the kingdom has strict control on weapons such as firearms and cannons, but there is almost no control on ordinary cold weapons and armored crossbows. After all, the appearance of firearms has a great impact on cold weapons. Except for high-level extraordinary people, on the regular battlefield, it is already very Less large-scale use of cold weapons.
However, what Green is currently facing is to change the clothes for a large number of servants, at least let the kobolds whose defense rely only on fur wear metal armor, and also need to make special gun mounts and heavy armor for the Cyclops. Green's purpose is to put They built a humanoid tank that crushed the battlefield.
Although there is a skeleton workshop in the cemetery, all the things made there must be exchanged for psionic energy. Green doesn’t want to waste psionic energy on these equipment, so he decided that he must have a factory that he can trust.
Green will not do it himself. He told Viscount Paul last night that he hoped the Wilson family would come forward to set up the factory.
This move is also in order to further bind Viscount Paul and build more common interests for both parties, because all equipment produced by the factory, Green will use the gold produced by the goblin gold mine to pay for the goods. Only this one is based on the shares occupied by Viscount Paul, every year. You can get 30,000 pounds of dividends. And with the expansion of Green's territory in the foggy world, there are more and more servants under his command, and more ordnance and armor are needed. At that time, this factory will bring more benefits.
Facing Green's urging, Vincent agreed, but then said with a look of embarrassment: "Green, you know, it's not difficult to build this factory with the power of the family, but your request is to produce enchanted equipment, this is It is necessary to hire a large number of magicians, and the Association of Magicians must be avoided. Dr. Wilkins of the Association of Magicians has a good relationship with the family. My father asked me to ask whether he should come forward or you should find Dr. Wilkins in person. Negotiate?"
Green had a case for a long time. In his plan, the shareholders of this factory could not only include himself and Viscount Paul, but also Mr. Mayor and Dr. Wilkins.
Since the death of Baron Lonanx, after some overt or covert contests, the steel company left as a legacy is still run by the young baroness, but most of the company's shares and the baroness herself, actually. Shangdu has become the ban of the mayor of Woodskin.
In Green's plan, Mayor Woods King's steel company would be the main raw material supplier for the new plant.
As for Dr. Wilkins, the president of the Magic Association became a shareholder of the factory, and the problem of hiring magicians was naturally solved.
Green took out an authorization document from the drawer and handed it to Vincent: "Tell Uncle Paul that he will personally contact Mayor Woodskin and Dr. Wilkins, I can take out up to four tiers of shares, but They have to guarantee the raw materials, and the number of enchanted magicians."
Vincent's eyes lit up. He discussed the matter with his father last night, and felt that the best way was for Mayor Lawoodskin and Dr. Wilkins to buy shares, but he was a little worried that Green was young and vigorous and would not give up his interests. He didn't expect that Green was far more mature than they expected.
"Okay! I'll do it now. I believe those two gentlemen will be very happy to be one of the owners of our new factory." Vincent picked up the document excitedly and repeatedly assured Green that the factory would be up and running within a week.
sent Vincent away, Green turned to the back of the desk and sat back.
The matter here came to an end, and his attention was also focused on the Shadow Chamber of Commerce.
Freya and others who arrived almost at the same time as Green were temporarily placed in a residential building in the lower city.
This is the real estate that Serena turned into a crow and flew in to buy it in advance. It will be used as a temporary base for the Shadow Merchant Guild to place in the lower city in the future.
