Zhou Jiping doesn't like this form of guessing the price, who is born into a civilian, because he is short of money and often asks for the price and has to turn around.
However, now, Zhou Jiping can roughly judge that the price of these guns should not be very expensive, otherwise Kahama and the other party's special envoy would not use this to say something specifically.
Slowly shook his head, Zhou Jiping's expression did not make Kahama and the envoy sure whether Zhou Jiping could not guess or didn't want to guess at all.
Just when Kahama was about to report the price in an embarrassing manner, Zhou Jiping suddenly said: "$80!"
Hearing Zhou Jiping say this, Kahama and the envoy looked at each other and smiled. Zhou Jiping was very proud, which brought confidence to both of them. However, Kahama is a person who is good at watching the scenery. He met Zhou Ji.
Ping's complexion seemed to be unhesitant, so he stopped selling it: "$50!"
Although he knew that the other party's offer would be relatively low, Zhou Jiping was slightly shocked when he heard about this price. This was almost one-third of the batch of guns François bought.
"Why give me this price? Even if this batch of guns is sold for $80 or $100, it is possible. Why is it so discounted for me?" Zhou Jiping asked
Hearing Zhou Jiping's question, the special envoy who answered this time was the special envoy, "Dear Chief, I am the special envoy of General Makunda, Handney, this time we are here to you and the grassland tribe under your rule.
As for these weapons that express goodwill, they are just weapons replaced by General Makunda after conducting a small-scale disarmament. The general said that instead of putting these weapons into the warehouse, it is better to hand them over to the real urgent need at a lower price.
They were like this, and Mr. Kahama and I came to the Imara grassland.”
"But, what can I give you? You should know that Soyo has no currency and we import goods most of the time. So far, we have not exported anything valuable." Zhou Jiping wanted to know the other party's kindness this time
What's behind the journey
"You don't have to worry about this when you come, the general has already told us that this trip to ask for a promise is a trip to friendship. Even if we go back empty-handed, the general will not blame us." Although Zhou Jiping pretended to be powerless
Yang Bailao paid off his debts, but the envoy named Handney opposite him still looked so humble that he looked incredibly humble.
"Oh, there is a saying that 'Give gifts to others, there must be something to ask for', you won't just give something and leave? Say, what does General Makunda want you to do?" Zhou Jiping didn't want to follow the other party.
Going around in circles
Hearing Zhou Jiping say this, Handney's expression gradually became cautious. His eyes circled around the three people in the room. After confirming that no one else was present, he spoke: "Respect."
The great chief, General Makunda already knows the establishment of the Southern Tribal Alliance. The general deeply appreciates your active promotion of the Southern Confederacy. At the same time, the general also said that the history of Montaya should be written by our generation.
Wish to see the increasing strength of the Southern Tribes and the general is willing to cooperate with the Southern Tribe Alliance in a deeper and longer term way - to eliminate possible threats of war and do his part for the continued peace and prosperity of Montaya
force"
Talking about official accent! Zhou Jiping was a little dissatisfied with Handney's statement. Don't look at this guy saying a lot, but in fact he was talking about a bunch of useless truths. It seems that most of the ingredients are coming to test.
"Is this the only one?" Zhou Jiping's face showed some impatient expression. If Handney dared to say that there were only these, then Zhou Jiping wouldn't mind leaving the things behind and then driving them away at once.
"Oh-Of course," Handney was a little embarrassed, and soon returned to calm. General Makunda meant that since the alliance could be achieved among the grassland tribes, why didn't the Great Chief turn the alliance?
If the scope is expanded a little further, even some powerful factions with peace-minded ideas in the Northern Army have been absorbed?"
"Let's talk" Seeing Handney observing him, Zhou Jiping calmly asked the other party to continue talking
"The chief may not know that our General Makunda is a general with a new mind. There are many foreign generals in the Zongjupa area controlled by the general now. They often say that since both the Montaya and the whites can live in peace,
Why can't we live in peace with our brothers and tribes hundreds of years ago? So, the general is happy to see a powerful Southern tribe alliance." Handney finally opened up the conversation
“In fact, General Makunda is willing to follow the construction of the Thoren Highway and also establish a channel to communicate between the north and the south, and then communicate through this channel with the Southern Tribal Alliance whether external goods are transported in to improve the living environment of the grassland;
The goods from the grassland are transported out and we will do our part to the prosperity and development of the grassland tribes for a while. As long as the grassland gradually develops, the disaster like that nine years ago will certainly not happen again."
Speaking of this, Handney suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh, by the way, I think I should tell you that your friend Huang Pihu is also a friend of General Makunda. There are many situations in this regard.
It was Mr. Huang Pihu who told the general, so you can rest assured.”
Zhou Jiping nodded without comment, and then asked again: "Is there any?"
"Oh, of course there's" Handney was a little confused by Zhou Jiping's toothpaste-squeezing method. We can do some calculations: "You have a lot of goods now transported from Engro, but you know
Is it okay? How much does it cost to transfer these goods from Engro? How much does it cost? The cost is secondarily. Some bulk goods, such as food, clothing, daily necessities, etc., are not strict about time requirements, but guns and ammunition and
What about medicines? Once you need supplements in this area in urgent need, you can only ask for a road, a 300-kilometer road, plus the Bushman sea transportation time... What if you encounter an enemy again and get stuck on this road
?”
By the way, what Handney said is not unreasonable. Zhou Jiping is also fully aware of the weakness of the grassland at present, but knows that it is one thing, and it is another thing to solve it. At least before Handney appeared,
Zhou Jiping had no idea of looking for a solution to the north
"Then what good will you do?" Zhou Jiping continued quietly. He knew that the more he was like this, the more he could take the initiative in his hand.
