Chapter 288 (1/2)
Looking at Soga's shocked expression, the city master smiled bitterly and said, ”I also know that precious metals are the specialty of the third pass. If you want to transport them, you must cross the death triangle. It is very dangerous, but... As long as you get precious metals, I will definitely give you a satisfactory price!”
”Well?” Hearing the other party's words, Suoga couldn't help hesitating. The other party didn't seem to know that he was the city master.
Thinking of this, Soga said tentatively, ”you know, the precious metals are very tight and expensive. I'm afraid I can't get so many goods!”
”Ha ha...” the city Lord said flatly, ”I know what you said. It's because it's difficult to get it, so I want you to get it. Aren't you a businessman? You always have your own way! ”
Suoga was relieved when he heard the city master's words. It seemed that... The other party didn't know his secret. While thinking, Suoga continued: ”well, I can try. I just don't know. What metal do you want? How many do you want? What is the exchange ratio with suspended stone? ”
Hearing Soga's words, the city Lord hesitated for a long time... The city Lord said flatly: ”metal, red copper, refined iron, and even black iron. Anyway, it's the metal that makes weapons and armor. I want it, especially high-grade metal. I pay a high price.”
”Oh?” Soga's eyes lit up when he heard each other's words. For others, precious metals may be difficult to get, but for Soga, there are plenty of metals. Without saying anything else, the black iron obtained from the secret library of kablaina City alone is 500 cubic meters. How much does it have to be converted into weight!
Soga pondered for a long time. Soga said flatly, ”Lord, you should know that this business is too dangerous. The price of precious metals is very high. Moreover, once we suffer losses during transportation, there will be nothing. Let's say nothing else. Who is sure that we can cross the death triangle of the third level?”
Hearing Soga's words, the city Lord smiled bitterly and said, ”please, don't talk about difficulties, will you? If it's not so difficult, why should I come to you? I'll send someone to get it myself. Now I'm in urgent need of metal. As long as you can get it, I'll change it with suspended stone! ”
Hearing the city master's words, Suoga couldn't help thinking. If he really exchanged metal, there was no doubt that Suoga would choose black iron, red copper and refined iron. After all, the price was low. If he exchanged them, I don't know how many times it would take to get enough suspended stones.
Soga looked up at the city master and said, ”Lord, you should know that the risk of this transaction is too great, so... I can't get you cheap metals such as red copper and refined iron, so... I can only provide you with black iron!”
”What!” Standing up in horror, the city master said incredulously, ”what are you talking about? Can you provide me with black iron? True or false... ”
In a daze, Suoga didn't feel that the black iron was great, but looking at the expression of the city master, Suoga soon understood that the reason why he didn't treat the black iron as something was just because there were too many black iron in Suoga. It was stored by Cabu in that city for some time. It was absolutely in short supply.
Just thinking about it, Soga understood that this black iron is definitely a good thing. The weapons made of black iron are not damaged, and the armor made of black iron is not broken, but... The weight of black iron is too heavy, heavier than gold, plus such a high price, so no one can afford it.
Looking at the city Lord calmly, Suoga nodded and said, ”yes, it's xuantie, but... You should know the rarity of xuantie. In addition, there are risks in this transaction. Unless there are enough interests to attract, otherwise, I won't do this transaction anyway.”
Hearing Soga's words, the city Lord thought quickly. In fact, he wanted precious metals because he wanted to unify the underground world. If he wanted to unify the underground world, there must be an armed force. So far, the armed forces have been established, but the weapons used by the soldiers are too backward. They must be armed before they can start a war.
Now, suddenly hearing that there is black iron in Soga, the city Lord is ecstatic. He knows the role of black iron. It's just nonsense to build weapons with pure black iron. In fact, as long as a little black iron is added to ordinary iron, the firmness and sharpness of weapons and armor can be greatly improved. If there is enough black iron, Then the underground world has almost entered his pocket, and no one can resist the weapon attack containing dark iron.
When his eyes flickered, the city Lord knew that it was time to spend money. Even if the loss of this transaction was great, as long as he could really unify the underground world, any price would be worth it. What is the loss of money? As the first king who unified the underground world in history, this honor could not be bought no matter how much money.
Looking deeply at Soga, the city Lord said with boiling blood: ”well, you need profits, you need attraction, don't you? no problem! As long as you can get enough black iron, I'll exchange a ton for a ton, and exchange the suspended iron for your black iron. Can you achieve a word? ”
”What!” Standing up in horror, Soga looked at the city master in fear. He couldn't believe his ears. He stammered for a long time. Soga trembled and said, ”did I hear you right? You said to exchange suspended iron for black iron, one to one? ”
He nodded categorically, and the city Lord said positively“ You heard me right. That's what I said, but... It takes at least 1000 tons to trade. If it's only a few tons, it won't work at all. ”
”Oh, my God!” Sitting on the chair, Soga quickly calculated that although the weight of black iron is not the heaviest, there are few heavier than him. The weight of black iron per unit volume is higher than that of gold.
As we all know, a cubic meter of gold weighs 19.3 tons, while black iron weighs about 30 tons. Soga now has 500 cubic meters of black iron, that is 15000 tons of black iron! It can be changed to 15000 tons of suspended iron. Even if it is refined into noisy refined gold, it is enough to have 15 tons. There is not so much in Soga, and one ton is enough.
On the contrary, the weight of suspended iron is very light, only three tons per cubic meter, a difference of ten times! You know... Even if the black iron of the same volume is replaced by the suspended iron cable of the same volume, not to mention that the profit has been expanded ten times!
Soga leaned back in his chair. Soga knew that the more critical the moment was, the more calm he had to be. He considered everything carefully. The higher the profit, the greater the danger. It may be a trap.
After pondering for a long time, Soga looked up at the city master and said, ”I want to ask, how much black iron do you need? How much do you have in reserve for the suspended iron? ”
Hearing Soga's inquiry, the city Lord pondered. He needs as much as he has black iron. It's easy to fight rivers and mountains, but it's difficult to sit on rivers and mountains. If you want to keep your position, you need more armed forces after fighting rivers and mountains.
With 1000 tons of black iron, you can basically start to invade, but... If you want to lay down a stable country, you need more black iron, at least tens of thousands of tons. If you can have more, of course, it's better. If you have 108000 tons, he can consider expanding to the ground world.
For the city Lord, although the suspended stone is valuable, it only represents money, but xuantie is different. He can help himself lay a good land. Once the land is laid, the money lost today can be earned back hundreds or thousands of times.
Thinking of this, the city Lord suddenly raised his head and said categorically, ”I want as much as I have black iron. Even if you have a million tons, I want all of them, but... Our reserve of suspended iron is not much, only about 6000 tons.”
Hearing the city master's words, Soga's eyes brightened and pondered for a while. Soga said flatly: ”OK, I'll take this deal, but... I'll provide you with 6000 tons of black iron and change your 6000 tons of suspended iron. What do you think?”
Hearing Soga's words, the city master was stunned and said flatly, ”no problem. If you can really get 6000 tons of black iron, I'll give you 6000 tons of suspended iron!”
