Lao Li hesitated and did not dare to agree to Fubao's words.
"Uncle Li, I still have great faith in your ability. And this time the negotiation is mainly about Uncle Wang talking to them, and you are responsible for telling them where the gold mine is."
Fu Bao warned Lao Li.
"I'm afraid that the Si Kingdom will also send people who can inspect the mines by then, so I wanted you to come and have a look in advance to see which place is most likely to contain gold mines."
Hearing what Fubao said, Lao Li nodded and agreed.
"This matter will be left to the two of you. This is not only an issue between the two mines, but also an issue between Tianqi and Si. I won't say more about the importance of the saltpeter mine to us. The responsibility lies with
On the two uncles."
Fubao changed the topic and his voice became as innocent and cute as a child again.
"I believe that these two uncles will be able to defeat the Si Kingdom!"
I thought it was just a simple matter of coming to the mine to help out, but I didn't expect that it was related to the fate of the country. The expressions on the faces of Lao Li and Uncle Wang became different, and the blood in their hearts was about to burst out.
"Just trust me and leave this matter to me. We will definitely defeat the Si Kingdom!"
"Master Li, Master Li!"
Lao Li was still unable to escape from his memories. He was caught off guard and heard the voice of the Si people speaking, and then he realized that the other person was calling him.
"Ah...I was distracted just now, what did you say?"
Lao Li looked at the people from Si country and his tone of voice was not very good.
"I mean, how much do you want to sell this mine?"
The representative of Si State suppressed his anger and said it again. If it weren't for their request, they would have beaten up the Apocalypse man in front of them who didn't respect them.
"As for this question, I have no way to answer you. This is not what I am in charge of. You have to ask Brother Wang next to me about this matter."
Uncle Wang's expression immediately became arrogant when he mentioned his name. He glanced at the Si people with a half-smile, and said in their expectant eyes.
"How much price do you want from Siguo?"
The Si people thought for a moment and gave a conservative price.
"Six thousand taels."
"Six thousand taels of gold?"
Uncle Wang asked.
"You're just kidding me."
The Siguo man smiled and said to Uncle Wang, his expression obviously a little guilty.
It would be a joke to buy a gold mine at this price.
"Pfft."
Lao Li couldn't hold back and laughed.
"You people in Si country treat gold like dirt. For such a big gold mine, you only give six thousand taels of silver. You are not afraid of others laughing at you!"
Of course the people of Si country knew that they were taking advantage of their power to bully others, didn't they also feel guilty and did not speak up?
But someone who came to negotiate could not really say a word. He was embarrassed, but he poked a little follower next to him.
The follower had no choice but to speak.
"We didn't say we had to buy it at this price. You can still negotiate. Besides, this mine is ours. If you hadn't bought it..."
"Stop it!"
Uncle Wang stopped in time, "Although we bought it, if you don't sell it, how can we go back and buy it? You are unkind and have the nerve to say something bad about us! Don't you know why we want to give up the mine?
Sell it?!”
It's fine for everyone to say this kind of thing in their hearts, but it's not dignified to say it openly.
The representative of the Si country heard this and hurriedly fooled him.
"What are you saying? We all understand what you mean, we all understand..."
As he spoke, he gave his subordinate a stopping look.
The subordinate knew that he had said something wrong and kept his head down like a quail.
"I'm sure you won't want to tell me the price directly. Well, why don't we go and see the mine before we talk."
Uncle Wang's proposal immediately won the support of the Si people.
If you have to spend a lot of money to buy gold mines, how can you not check the quality?
"Master Wang is indeed a sensible man!"
he complimented.
"Look, this is our mine. This is the gold that was just dug out."
As Uncle Wang said this, he took out a piece of gold from a small basket and showed it to the Si people.
"How is it? This looks good."
The Siguo man gave the person following him a look, and he immediately reacted and took the gold.
He was specially invited by the people of Si country to see the mines.
"Mr. Wang, is this gold that has just been mined and has not been processed?"
The experienced person asked.
"Of course. If it were processed, would it still look like this? Isn't this a slap in my face?"
Although Uncle Wang said such words, the look on his face was full of pride.
It is quite difficult for a mine to produce such gold.
The man with the pointed chin held the gold in his hand and nodded deeply to the Si people.
This is their best secret code ever. The quality of the ore and their satisfaction with the ore must not be told to the original mine owner, so the secret code becomes very important.
If the sharp chin shakes his head, it means that the quality of the ore is only average. If the sharp chin nods slightly, it means that the quality of the ore is acceptable. But if he nods heavily, it means that the quality of the ore is acceptable.
It's quite good.
When the Si people saw it, they almost burst out laughing. He was holding the ore in his hand, deliberately pretending to be dissatisfied.
"It's just average, not as good as I imagined."
"If you could put down the ore and say this to me, you might still be a little more convincing."
Lao Li is also an expert, how could he not see the quality of the ore? This is clearly the Si people who want to deliberately lower the price.
"This is not just a joke."
The Si people said sarcastically, but they were reluctant to put down the ore in their hands.
"We have seen the purity of the gold and it is indeed good. How much price do you want?"
"Twenty million taels."
Uncle Wang said without hesitation. This family was exactly what he and Fubao had discussed before.
"That's okay."
The Si people nodded and were about to agree when they heard Uncle Wang continue.
Twenty million taels of silver, this price can buy a gold mine, which is already a good deal, and even a loss for Uncle Wang.
You know, when they first bought this saltpeter mine, it was only 15,000 taels.
"Twenty million taels of gold."
"What!"
The people of Si were shocked by the price offered by Uncle Wang.
"This is too much!"
"If you think it's too much, you can take a look at this mine. Underneath the saltpeter is gold. After the saltpeter is mined, there is still gold on top. This is a business that will make a profit without losing any money."
