Xu Kuang suddenly remembered something and said to Jing Ming:
"I forgot to tell you something. The exclusive agreement between you and me does not include the mercenary union. The mercenary union's license was issued earlier than yours, and its priority is the same as yours."
Jing Ming frowned, but then he relaxed and said to Xu Kuang:
"I understand, can I print something else on the tobacco box?".
Xu Kuang saw through Jing Ming's thoughts at a glance.
"You don't want to print a regional logo to prevent others from reselling tobacco from this area to another area, right?"
Jing Ming smiled bitterly and said:
"Sometimes I really doubt who you are. You are so smart and have far-sighted vision."
Xu Kuang smiled, naturally he would not tell Jing Ming, these were all valuable experiences from his previous life.
"Of course, you can even design special packaging and set the price independently, but the price should not be too high or too low. I have the right to interfere with your pricing."
Jing Ming frowned and asked:
"why is that?".
Xu Kuang smiled and said:
"If you have individually packaged cigarettes, you can give smokers more choices. Moreover, tobacco from different regions has different flavors and can be divided into different brands. If you think about it carefully."
Jing Ming said:
"Don't think about it, I agree. You have the right to set the price. I will let my sister design some new packaging and I will give it to you in a few days."
"Don't blame me for not warning you. If the packaging design is too complicated, the price will rise."
Jing Ming laughed:
"I'm about to sell a batch of cigarettes worth one gold coin per box."
Xu Kuang's eyes widened and he asked:
"One gold coin per box? You have to know that the cost is estimated to be not even one copper coin... If you change hands, you will have to sell it ten thousand times?"
Jing Ming smiled and said:
"I can add spices to it. I can add the gallbladder of the fifth-level monster, the crystal core of the sixth-level monster, and all kinds of precious herbs...".
Xu Kuang couldn't help but take a look at Jing Ming. He really felt that Jing Ming really understood the word profiteer to his core.
Xu Kuang nodded and said to Jing Ming:
"I want to put the logo of Gladiolus Trading Company on the side of the cigarette box."
Jing Ming nodded and said to Xu Kuang:
"The other side happens to be marked with the logo of Blue Ocean Trading Company."
The two looked at each other and laughed.
Jing Xi looked at the two of them speechlessly. She really felt that her brother and Xu Kuang had the same chemistry.
…
Jingming said to Xu Kuang:
"There is one more thing, I hope you can answer me seriously.".
Xu Kuang was stunned for a moment, and then when he saw Jing Ming's serious look, he immediately knew what Jing Ming was going to ask.
He said to Jing Ming:
"If you want to talk about weapons, it's a price without discount."
Jing Ming nodded and asked:
"Say it.".
"Which weapon do you like?".
Jing Ming smiled and said:
"all.".
Xu Kuang smiled and said:
"You have a big appetite. Here is a price list. Do the math yourself. This weapon will not be discounted. There are only two options: buy or not."
Xu Kuang has never thought about not selling this kind of weapon. The structure of this kind of weapon is not complicated, and the ratio of materials can be easily analyzed by the alchemy priests. If he does not sell it, others can imitate it themselves.
What is really not for sale are high-end weapons with digital informatization. Even if Xu Kuang wants to make such a weapon, he doesn't know how many years it will take to manufacture it, so how can he sell it to others.
But if he sells it and controls the price within a reasonable range, he can not only make a lot of money, but also make other people feel that it is better to buy it than to buy it, then it will be another big deal.
Jing Ming had quickly read the price list. He couldn't help but gasped and asked:
"You have 105 cannons with 100,000 gold coins each. Why don't you go and grab them?"
Xu Kuang smiled and said:
"You can also choose not to buy it.".
Jing Ming said:
"For one hundred thousand gold coins, I can hire five brave-level magicians to take turns firing."
"But you can only hire it for a month, and when your five magicians are exhausted, it can still fire, and if you don't destroy it all at once, it can be used for many years, even if
If taken care of properly, it can be a family heirloom."
Jingming was speechless, he knew that what Xu Kuang said was true.
"Then this ammunition is too expensive, one hundred gold coins per round, and the so-called armor-piercing bullets are twice as expensive. Don't you think the price is too unreasonable?".
"Is it expensive? You can use ten cigarettes to make a brave magician who won't complain attack once. Is it still expensive?".
Jing Ming thought for a while and said to Xu Kuang:
"Then I can only buy forty 105 cannons first, then 20,000 rounds of artillery shells, and some other weapons."
Xu Kuang said to Jing Ming:
"Seeing as you have bought so many, I would like to advise you that after you have fired a basic number of shells, it is best to let the cannon rest. In this case, your cannon can be used longer."
Jing Ming nodded, cupped his fists at Xu Kuang and said:
"Thanks for the reminder, brother."
Xu Kuang waved his hand and said:
"You're welcome.".
Jingming signed a large arms order worth 20 million gold coins at one time. Xu Kuang took a look and found that Jingming had purchased a considerable amount of artillery, but he didn't seem to have much interest in the guns.
Xu Kuang smiled and said to Jing Ming:
"Congratulations to Brother Jingming, for having such powerful firepower, I think your caravan will not have to worry about being in danger in the future."
Jing Ming said nothing and felt a little depressed.
He found that his caravan could make money wherever it went, but it had to lose money when it went to Xu Kuang.
Xu Kuang seemed to remember something, and he said to Jing Ming:
"By the way, if you use crystal cores to purchase, I can give you a discount."
Jing Ming smiled bitterly. It is difficult to estimate the value of things like crystal cores. They are also fourth-level crystal cores. The price of a fourth-level burrowing rat and the crystal core of a fourth-level flying dragon are not at the same price.
Xu Kuang still didn’t give up, he said again:
"Or you can sell the fourth-order crystal core. We have a dedicated appraiser and we won't let you lose money."
Jing Ming asked:
"Are you very short of crystal nuclei?".
Xu Kuang nodded.
"How many crystal cores are you going to collect?".
Xu Kuang did the math and found that if there was to be a war with the kingdom in the future, the number of crystal cores consumed would be an astronomical figure.
Xu Kuang simply said:
"There is no cap on the number. Fire and wind crystal cores are given priority."
Jing Ming nodded.
Xu Kuang still remembered that he got a magic crystal generator when he first started the mission, but that thing was so impractical that Xu Kuang had no use for it.
It will save more money if you just set up a water tanker.
Xu Kuang couldn't help but feel happy after seeing Jing Ming off.
By selling weapons and cigarettes, he probably earned Gladiolus City several months of revenue from this trip.
