"I hope you won't talk nonsense anymore. Don't you plan to pay a penny for our cooperation?" Leo looked at Tang Mo, as if he wanted to see some clues from Tang Mo's face.
But there was nothing but calmness on Tang Mo's face. It seemed that this was what he thought. He didn't intend to spend a penny, he just wanted the information network of the Silver Fox Tavern.
This feeling makes Leo very uncomfortable. In fact, the Silver Fox Tavern's industry has always been his proud endeavor, and he doesn't want anyone to despise everything he has created.
It's like you spent several months painting a painting, and in the end someone asked you to exchange it for two buns and a bottle of Coke...
Therefore, Leo even felt that Tang Mo was humiliating him, which made him very unhappy as a sponsor of many homeless people in Bunas.
Tang Mo also felt that if he continued to tease the old man in front of him like this, he might ruin the business in front of him.
He didn't want to give up this ready-made intelligence network. The moment he saw the old man Leo, he felt that this intelligence network should be controlled by Tang Mo and become his eyes and his power in the darkness.
I don't know why, but he just felt this way, so he changed his tone and said to Leo: "Actually, I think it is more suitable for us to establish cooperation first, and then talk about philistine things like gold coins."
Leo was a little angry and shook his head at Tang Mo angrily: "In this case, I think there is no need for us to continue talking."
"Before I leave, can you tell me why you came to my place this time?" Tang Mo was not annoyed, he just looked at Leo and asked a curious question.
He knew that if it was just a matter of pure cooperation, the other party would definitely not come forward. Even the big bartender didn't have to go to Tang Mo's weapons workshop in person.
So Tang Mo knew that the other party must have some purpose, and there must be some entry point that he could use to promote cooperation between them.
Leo was not polite at all, stared at Tang Mo and sneered: "I don't think it is meaningful to talk to a madman."
"At least you don't have to worry about a madman's nonsense leaking secrets, right?" Tang Mo pointed at himself and laughed at himself.
He also knows that his behavior of not taking out the money is actually very insincere. The other party can sit here and listen to him talking so much nonsense, which is actually more restrained.
Therefore, he showed an attitude like a knife, and after laughing at himself, he continued to say to Leo: "Tell me, maybe, I can handle your matter?"
"Well, I don't know why. Maybe I'm crazy. I actually thought you might help me realize a wish buried deep in my heart." After thinking for a while, Leo finally sighed and said to
Poor Tang Mo said.
In fact, he also guessed Tang Mo's current situation: on the one hand, Tang Mo actually needed an intelligence network very much, and on the other hand, he did not seem to have much funds.
He could tell from Tang Mo's eagerness to make a joke but couldn't hide it that Tang Mo desperately needed the help of the Silver Fox Tavern.
He could also judge from the endless construction sites outside Tang Mo's office that Tang Mo would never be able to save much money due to his expansion speed.
Just by looking at it, it is very clear that according to Tang Mo's pace of expansion, he estimates that the gold coins left in his pocket are not as much as Weiss's private money. Although Tang Mo tried his best to hide it, he still couldn't hide such an obvious thing.
.
After all, Leo is an old fox. He has lived for so many years. If he didn't have this bit of vision, he wouldn't be where he is today.
In fact, one of the main reasons why he was able to sit still and not leave is because he saw Tang Mo's shameless tenacity that covered up his disadvantages until his death.
"Tell me, maybe I can really help?" Tang Mo was a man of two generations and had seen the wind and waves. He knew that the other party had most likely figured out his disadvantages, so he simply started to be single.
stand up.
Anyway, both sides get what they need, and they are all "asking for what they want", so no one needs to look down on the other. Shouldn't we just have a good talk in the spirit of cooperation that benefits both parties?
The old man Leo sighed and seemed to be thinking about his words. Tang Mo did not disturb him and allowed him to perform his facial skills.
Finally, Leo spoke. He looked at Tang Mo and said with a bit of sadness: "Okay... okay... before I came here, I thought you could take me or take me with you one day."
Corpse, return to my hometown."
Tang Mo tried hard to search for that distant and mysterious place in his memory, but found nothing.
He knew that his father Tang Qi and his mother were from there and were criminals there, and had no right to return to that place in their lifetime.
But for him, apart from the fact that the people there also have oriental faces, which makes him feel more friendly, to be honest, he really doesn't have much nostalgia for his so-called hometown.
So, he opened his mouth and asked for confirmation: "The east side of the Endless Sea?"
"Yes, go back there and bury me in my hometown." Leo coughed twice and pointed at himself: "It's a pity that now it seems that you don't have the ability to do this."
"People don't speak secretly, old sir." Tang Mo suppressed his smile, changed his tone, and said: "Although you are old, you are still far from Tuogu. The intelligence network of Silver Fox Tavern is very important to you.
It's very precious to me. Just sending you back to your hometown to bury you is not worth such a high price."
"So, I said you might not be able to afford a business as big as the Silver Fox Tavern." Leo clasped his hands into fists and placed them on his chin.
"Actually, I can eat it, but I need some time." Tang Mo thought for a few seconds and said to Leo.
"Oh? How long do you think it will take for you to get enough gold coins to support the entire Silver Fox Tavern news network? Half a year? One year? Or ten years?" Leo grinned sarcastically.
Tang Mo thought about it seriously and gave an answer that stunned Leo: "Probably, 3 months, 5 months at the latest..."
This time was not randomly given by Tang Mo, but a very reasonable time that he had carefully calculated.
Three months later, his steam engine is likely to be of great use in Beiling, and many customers may give him orders.
If these orders are obtained, Tang Mo feels that he still has money to expand his intelligence business. Therefore, the shortest period he gave is three months.
As for the six-month period, Tang Mo was thinking that after the battle in Beiling was won, he would most likely get a large war bonus.
Once Earl Fisherot wins the war, he will be able to get a large sum of money, a large area of land, and a large amount of resources...
With these things, he can expand unscrupulously and build himself into a real group.
By then, he will own all kinds of wealth including mines, roads, fields, and factories, and then let these wealth produce more wealth for him.
"You really can get a sum of money in just 3 months?" Leo asked in disbelief.
Tang Mo nodded and said, "Actually, I'm a little more conservative. If we calculate based on the fastest time, I can come up with a sum of money to start our cooperation within about 2 months."
"In addition, I have a lot of information transmission technologies here that can be shared." Tang Mo was still obsessed with his telegraph system, so he suggested: "When my experiments are completed, I can also use the technology to participate in the shares."
Ways to increase investment in Silver Fox Tavern."
"Then, I will carefully investigate Cyric's transportation of steel within these two months. Don't worry... I will give you a definite message." Leo thought for a while and agreed to Tang Mo.
He had been willing to cooperate before, and since Tang Mo only needed two months, he was willing to wait patiently.
"I can provide you with two revolvers! With this thing for self-defense, your people may be safer in certain actions." Naturally, Tang Mo would not refuse or waste his gold coins, so
I took out the revolver product and planned to win over the people in the Silver Fox Tavern.
"We have a lot of Cyric's flintlocks," Old Leo said confidently.
"Believe me! Cyric's weapons are all rubbish!" Tang Mo laughed loudly: "Wes! Take your weapons, go to the shooting range, and show Mr. Leo what our revolver has.
How terrible!”
"No problem!" After hearing the order, Wes appeared at the door, opened the door and made a gesture of invitation.
"So, happy cooperation?" Tang Mo started to enjoy the meal. He didn't want to waste the big dinner cooked by Aunt Cuixi.
"Happy cooperation!" Leo nodded, and stood up directly without staying to eat, letting the bartender support him, and left Tang Mo's factory.
When walking out of Tang Mo's office, the bartender saw Wes waiting there. Wes once again made an invitation gesture and led the two of them towards the new shooting range.
When the bartender who supported Leo and old man Leo left Tang Mo's factory, both of them had heavy expressions.
Because the bartender was carrying a wooden box in his hand, and inside the box were two mass-produced revolvers produced by Tang Stranger.
There were no fancy carvings or other messy decorations. Two ordinary pistols lay quietly in the box, with dozens of flash caps and dozens of bullets inside.
After seeing this weapon firing continuously, both Leo and the bartender seemed to have a different understanding of Tang Mo.
