Chapter 201 Want to make money from me? No way!
When Raven saw Hyde in the Eagle Castle reception room, he was quite surprised.
The aristocratic prince, who was one year younger than him, didn't look very good. His eye sockets were sunken, as if he hadn't slept for a week, and the stubble on his chin had popped out.
Leaven smacked his lips: "Are you being hunted?"
"It's not because of you!" Hyde put the helmet on the table: "What you did, You have to take responsibility for me!”
Raven frowned: "Don't talk nonsense, I am a decent person, how can you accuse someone of innocence out of thin air?"
"Innocent ass!" Hyde rolled his eyes at him: "If it weren't for you, I would I won’t come to this damn place!”
The maid served the Angel’s Tears at the right time. Regardless of the image, Hyde opened the bottle and drank it in one gulp. He put the bottle on the table and poured out the bitter water to Raven.
Hide is here to escort the batch of female hippogryphs that he discussed with Raven last year.
After returning last time, Hyde discussed this matter with his father, Earl Tyrone, and received a positive answer.
But although Earl Tyrone has the final say in the family, Earl Tyrone's younger brother and Hyde's uncle are responsible for the finances.
However, this uncle was known for being stingy. He was already worried about the cost of building the Hyde territory, but he was even more cautious when it came to hippogryphs, so a long wrangling began.
It was not until two months ago that the price was finally set.
Originally, Hyde did not plan to come in person, but Raven sent a letter saying that he had prepared a huge surprise for him. Nothing happened in the territory, so Hyde set off.
Then he regretted it.
At the end of winter and the beginning of spring, the ground had just thawed. Most of the roads built by the empire in the early years were in disrepair. The roadbeds were weathered and there were mud pits everywhere. Walking was so slow that several cars got stuck in the mud almost every day.
This is not the end yet.
When setting up camp every day, because many female hippogryphs were transported, they were chirping all the time, causing Hyde to have trouble sleeping!
It is only when we reach the Eagle Territory that the road surface becomes better, but it has already reached its destination, so what’s the use of it! ?
Raven licked his lips and asked: "How many hippogryphs are there? I heard that your uncle is not easy to mess with."
"Who am I? Viscount Hyde! Once I'm out, what's wrong with me?" Hyde smiled proudly: "There are a total of 272 hippogryphs in this batch, 270 of which are females. Two males.”
Raven’s eyes lit up.
The number we had discussed before was two hundred, but we didn’t expect there to be so many more, and there were two more males.
Originally, Raven was worried that the eagle Hippogryph in the Warcraft Farm was not good enough to breed, but now, the pressure was much less.
“What’s the price?”
Haide said slowly: "I got it from my uncle, which is 203 gold coins for each head. Considering that we two have a good relationship, I will give you 223 gold coins for each head - I will make 100% of it." The profit of ten is not much, right? "
Two hundred and seventy-two heads, two hundred and twenty-three gold coins per head, a total of sixty, six hundred and fifty-six gold coins.
The final payment that Hyde did not make at the beginning was 50,000 gold coins. After calculating this, Raven still had to pay Hyde more than 10,000 gold coins.
After doing the mental arithmetic, a sinister smile appeared in Raven's heart.
Want to make money from me? No way!
See how I drain you dry!
So Raven sighed: "It's not much, but it's a pity that the surprise I promised you before may not be fulfilled!"
Hyde frowned: "...this What do you mean?”
Lei Wen said: “Originally I'm thinking, no matter what the price is, these hippogryphs can be used as the final payment of 50,000, and I can also help you accumulate 100,000 points in the business alliance."
This is the first time Hyde has heard this. Vocabulary: "Accumulate...points? What?"
"I recently formed a business alliance." Lei Wen explained: "Every time you spend a gold coin in the business alliance, you can accumulate one point."
"If you accumulate five hundred points, you will be a junior member and enjoy 9.50% off; 3,000 points, an intermediate member, a 10% discount; 10,000 points, a senior member, a 10.5% discount; 50,000 points, a supreme member, a 20% discount!”
Hyde! After listening to it, I felt a little moved, but not much.
Although the 20% discount is wonderful, for Hyde, the only output of the Eagle Collar is granite, which has already been purchased.
But what Raven said next made him a little shaken.
"Moreover, the higher the membership level, the more you can buy things that we will not sell to the public." As he spoke, Raven touched his belt, and a blue long sword suddenly appeared in his hand.
He handed the long sword to Volav, and Volav placed it in front of Hyde. Hyde held it in his hand, pulled the sword out of its sheath, and a clear metallic buzz echoed in the room.
Looking at the long sword in his hand, Hyde's pupils tightened: "This is...?"
"This is a long sword made of mist and heavy iron, named 'Eagle Feather'." Raven He slowly said: "Only senior members can purchase this kind of long sword."
Hide asked: "How much does this sword cost?"
Raven said: "Eight hundred and eighty gold coins, plus an equal number of points, no discounts, no accumulation of points."
Hyde's mind became active: "Since there are weapons, is there any mist and heavy iron?" Armor?”
Raven tapped his fingers on the table: “Yes, but only supreme members can purchase it. And it needs to be customized in advance."
"What about the price?"
"Eight thousand gold coins for the breastplate, four thousand gold coins for the leg armor, two thousand gold coins for the helmet, shoulder pads, wrist guards, gauntlets, and legs. A is worth one thousand gold coins, totaling eighteen thousand gold coins, and consumes the same amount of points. There is no discount or accumulation of points.”
Hearing these words, Hyde suddenly took a breath.
It’s not too high, but too low!
Although Hyde's own armor is also a second-order enchanted armor, if the armor is clearly divided into levels like extraordinary, his body is only about second-order three stars, and the mist-stained iron is properly Second level ten stars.
For most baron families, a set of foggy and iron-clad armor only exists as a luxury. It is even qualified to become an heirloom of a viscount family!
Even without enchantment, according to Hyde's psychological price, it should be at least 22,000 gold coins!
Hyde immediately said: "Then I will order a set now and make it according to my figure!"
"This is not possible." Raven slowly shook his finger: "Viscount Hyde, you are not now A member of our business alliance."
"But even if there is no balance, I still spent 50,000 gold coins!" Hyde blinked anxiously: "Why am I not a member?"
"We are friends, so I will tell the truth." Raven sighed: "When you bought the granite last year, the business alliance had not been established yet, so you could not accumulate points."
"Originally, I thought that the two of us have a close relationship, so I gave up a little face and benefits and counted these 100,000 gold coins as your points, which is worthy of your hard work."
"It's a pity that I really don't have many gold coins in my hand now. I took away more than 10,000. I can't use the money to appease the members, so of course the points are gone."
Hide's face turned pale for a while. change.
If you thought Raven's point system was not attractive enough before, then Hyde no longer has this idea at all.
With the status of Supreme Member, there is no need to do anything else. Hyde only needs to spread the word that he can get tailor-made foggy iron armor, and he can earn at least three to four thousand gold coins from it in one go. Price difference.
This is making money lying down!
Not to mention there are discounts of up to 20% off. Raven has only been a baron for two years, and he has already produced Angel's Kiss, Angel's Tear, and Angel's Embrace. Now he can sell foggy heavy iron equipment. God knows if there will be new products on the list in the future. And it can only be purchased by Supreme members.
The earlier you become a Supreme Member, the more profits you will make!
But because of his face, he couldn't change his words on the spot, and he immediately fell into a tangle.
This change was seen by Raven, and he threw out the second bait: "My factory is already in operation, and a batch of weapons have been produced. Your territory has been newly built, and Earl Tyrone has lost another one before. A lot of troops should be needed.”
"How about this? You go back and discuss with Earl Tyrone to see how much you can buy. If you have enough points by then, it won't be too late to customize it!"
Hearing this, Hyde's eyes widened: "You What are you talking about? You still have ordinary weapons?”
“Let me see the sample!”
This time, Raven didn’t take it from the belt, but asked someone to pick it up from the factory warehouse. .
Soon, a batch of samples were placed in front of Hyde, three swords and three spears.
Hyde picked up the sword and flicked it, then waved the spear a few times. When he sat back on the chair, his attitude was even more different, because he found that even these ordinary weapons were of better quality than similar weapons on the market.
Actually, Raven had a little trick.
These samples have not been mass-produced. They were only made by gray dwarves during teaching and are considered teaching aids.
It’s like a high school student doing math problems in junior high school. He will do it faster and in a better way than a junior high school student, and it will naturally look better.
But Haide didn't know this and asked hurriedly: "What's the price? What's the production capacity?"
"The price is the market price, and the production capacity... depends on how much you want."
"Two thousand spears, a thousand swords, two thousand shields, and two thousand scimitars!"
< br>Leaven calculated: "It can be delivered by the end of next month at the latest."
Even though he had been shocked enough today, Hyde was still shocked by the production capacity and quickly started making calculations.
According to the current momentum, the transactions between him and Raven will only become more and more, not less and less. You must get the Supreme Membership!
He had not told the truth to Raven before. The purchase price of these hippogryphs was not 203 gold coins, but 145 gold coins each. Even the two males were given away for free!
Inside and out, he earned more than 20,000 gold coins from Raven this time.
If he goes according to what Raven said and uses the hippogryph to pay the final payment of 50,000, he will still make a profit!
Thinking of this, Hyde swallowed: "Baron Raven, you treat me as a friend, I have to treat you as a friend! Let's do this, these hippogryphs will be priced at 50,000 gold coins Settlement!"
This is what Lei Wen was waiting for, but he did not agree immediately, but pondered for a moment: "This... is not good. Since we are friends, we can't give in every time. You suffer a loss.”
Hyde shook his head: "Since we are friends, saying this seems alienated."
"Okay!" Raven finally agreed reluctantly: "Then these hippogryphs will be sold for five Ten thousand gold coins, I will give you one hundred thousand gold coins!”
Hide was overjoyed and immediately ordered a set of foggy iron armor and twenty eagle feather swords.
The total price is thirty-five thousand six hundred gold coins.
Including the batch of ordinary weapons ordered, the total amount is more than 43,800 gold coins!
After reaching a deal, it was natural to celebrate. Although we didn't make it to the reception, it was the right time to have hot pot. This novel way also made Hyde enjoy it.
After learning that it would take half a month to customize the armor, Hyde was not in a hurry to leave and stayed at Eagle Castle.
Hyde grew up in Munn City and has seen the world and seen many different ways to eat, drink and have fun. Except for the first two days when Raven took him to various factories. After that, I was immersed in the prosperity of Eagle Town.
Especially the Paradise Hall and the Arena. The former’s diverse gameplay made him addicted to it; the latter’s lively and exciting atmosphere, heart-wrenching gladiatorial battles and wonderful intermission performances all attracted him deeply. attracted him.
Half a month later, Hyde put on the customized set of foggy iron armor.
This set of armor was forged by Sohei himself, and there is no need to say much about its quality. Moreover, the details were carved by Buvel with reference to the patterns on the elven jewelry, so it is not only practical, but also beautiful.
Stop in front of the bronze mirror. The appearance looks like a hero returning from slaying a dragon!
The eighteen thousand gold coins were well spent!
“You still have more than 70,000 points in your hand.” Raven reminded: “Would you like to customize another set?”
“There’s no rush for this. Wait for me when you get back. The brothers and elders looked at him with anger, please tell me when you come up!" Hyde had a proud smile on his face.
At this moment, he suddenly thought of something: "By the way, I have one hundred thousand points, and Gul'dan..."
"Of course he will have this if he doesn't make any excessive demands. Raven spread his hands and said, "He is the son of the Fox family after all."
"This..." A look appeared on Hyde's face when he thought of Gul'dan wearing the same type of armor as himself. A layer of clouds.
At the same time, he was also thinking about what he would do if he were Gul'dan after receiving such privileges.
After a while, Haide gritted his teeth and asked: "Are the things purchased in your merchant association allowed to be resold?"
"Of course." Raven shrugged and said: "We can't control who sells the things we buy!"
"In this case..." Hyde gritted his teeth: "Then I will place the order now. , 20,000 spears, 5,000 swords, 10,000 shields, and 10,000 scimitars!”
This quantity is enough to keep Raven’s factory busy until the end of the year.
After careful calculation, Lei Wen said: "After 20% off, the total is 46,840 gold coins. Do you really want so many?"
Hide sneered: " That bastard Gul'dan will definitely take advantage of the discount and make a profit by reselling it, so instead of giving him a discount, why not give me a discount?"
Lei Wen smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed: "Okay! But I want cash."
"No problem! I will deliver it to you immediately after I get back!"
Originally, Lei Wen Wen was about to leave this trap to Gul'dan, and Hyde jumped in on his own initiative, and Raven would not refuse.
The factory's production capacity is limited, and the market is constantly changing.
No matter how slowly news spreads in this era, the news about the lack of weapons in Nord Province should spread. It won’t be long before outsiders come to make money, and the price of weapons will definitely fall.
And by accepting orders now, Raven is making money for the next whole year at a high point. He only focuses on production and avoids the risk of possible price cuts in the future.
This risk was naturally borne by Hyde.
The principle is the same as real estate speculation. The real estate developer sells the house at a high price. As long as it is sold and the price is reduced later, it has nothing to do with the real estate developer.
Different from real estate, although weapons are also urgently needed, this wave of price increases is an unexpected event and is far less durable than real estate.
With a relaxed mood, Raven watched Hyde go on his way.
That night, I wrote a new page in my notes.
This time, Hyde spent nearly 90,000 gold coins on him, and with the sale of another batch of misty iron ingots, he was planning to build the castle, Anno's academy, and the dragon's nest. Expenditure, the amount on the books finally exceeded the 200,000 mark!
One step closer to one million gold coins!
At the same time, an old man wearing a white robe stepped into the Eagle Territory.
