Ivik Collar, Fort William. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After a simple and warm welcome ceremony, William gave a grand reception to Ouyang Shuo and his entourage in his Marquis Palace, which is now William's Castle, and fulfilled the friendship of the landlord.

William's castle continues the consistent style of English castles, the newly built castle, you can still feel a sense of history at a glance, the whole castle is magnificent, the interior scenery is beautiful, and the connotation is rich.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the two lords were able to negotiate alone.

In reality, William is a member of the royal family, and he has pure aristocratic blood flowing through his body. It is precisely because of this that he has an extraordinary appeal in the British section of the game.

William, although lazy, is definitely a smart man. After listening to his sister Anne tell about his experience at sea, William even concluded his previous speculation: Ouyang Shuo must have something to ask for when he comes here.

Between the two territories, there must be a big deal.

What Fort Avik can value now in Shanhai City is nothing more than the steam engine developed this year. The British Quarter is now in the embryonic period of the Industrial Revolution.

The powerful energy of the industrial revolution is about to erupt.

And the root of all energy is in the small steam engine. In order to develop the steam engine, Fort Ivik invested more resources than can be counted.

It is conservatively estimated that it will not be less than two million gold coins.

You know, that was the year of development that began in Gaia, and the gold coins were still extremely valuable at that time. Before the steam engine was developed, the whole of Ivik Fort was tightening its belts.

It wasn't until the first half of this year that the clouds opened and the moon was bright.

Therefore, William is not ready to cherish the steam engine manufacturing technology, but wants to sell the technology and recover a large amount of working capital, so as to speed up the construction of the territory and make up for the shortcomings of the previous construction.

After all, the game is different from reality, and the steam engine can be developed in the game, not only in the UK. In the whole of Europe and the United States, there is no bottleneck of the technology tree for the steam engine.

I believe that it will not be long before a second or third country succeeds. The British Quarter's desire to monopolize steam engine technology is tantamount to a dream.

That being the case, it is better to take this opportunity to sell the technology for a good price.

In William's eyes, Shanhaicheng is undoubtedly a good buyer.

Not to mention the kindness of saving Anne, a mountain and sea city has strong financial resources; Second, Shanhai City is far away from the United Kingdom and will not pose a direct threat to the British Zone for a long time.

As for this, it is not within William's consideration to raise the technology tree of the Eastern countries. Since the establishment of the Earth Alliance, the prejudice and hostility between the East and the West have not been as serious as before.

In the game, players are competing for real personal interests.

The so-called national interest is itself a false proposition.

And even if Britain does not sell the technology to China, William believes that the United States will definitely sell it to their allies in Asia, Dongying and Goryeo.

In this way, William has no psychological burden.

Now let's see what a good price Shanhai City can offer.

……

In the reception room, Ouyang Shuo didn't make a detour, and asked directly: "I take the liberty of asking, you have already developed a steam engine, right?" ”

"Not bad." William simply nodded, in fact, the steam engine had already begun to be fully rolled out in the British zone. With Shanhai City's powerful intelligence ability, William was not surprised at all to detect this information.

"Sell?" Ouyang Shuo is simple and rude, straight to the point.

"It's not cheap."

William had a look of wisdom on his face, and it was obvious that he would not be easily shaken.

Ouyang Shuo saw this, but he was happy in his heart, as long as the other party was willing to sell, he was not short of money.

It can be said that the purchase of steam engine manufacturing technology is the real purpose of Ouyang Shuo's ocean voyage. Opening up the great route is just to follow the trend, success is gratifying, and failure is okay.

Only this deal, Ouyang Shuo really can't afford to lose.

If Shanhai City's industrial system wants to be truly established, it has to break the bottleneck of China's science and technology tree. Otherwise, Research Institute 7 has a strong research team, and in the face of the outrageously low tech tree restrictions in China, it often feels powerless.

Ouyang Shuo believes that the team of scientists in Handan City and other territories must also be confused.

This is the weakness of the whole of China.

If Ouyang Shuo wants to dominate China in the future national war, he has to make up for this shortcoming, and he must do it as soon as possible. As a reborn, he knew too well that in his previous life, Dongying and Goryeo had obtained the authorization of steam engine technology from the United States, which led to their rapid rise and once overwhelmed the powerful Chinese region.

In this life, Ouyang Shuo will never allow such a shame to be staged again.

Therefore, no matter what the price is, Ouyang Shuo is determined to win the steam engine technology. Before going to sea, Ouyang Shuo even made an alternative plan to forcibly snatch the technology through the national war.

Of course, that was just a last resort.

It can also be understood from this that Ouyang Shuo was excited when he learned that the saved fleet was the Annie fleet.

Needless to say, without such a factor, William would not have been so happy to offer to sell this technology. It's normal to drag on for a year and a half.

By that time, Dongying and Goryeo would have already been authorized to do so. The changes in the game are so rapid, half a year is enough to open an order of magnitude gap.

It can only be said that Ouyang Shuo's [Fuyuan] is really starting to slowly counterattack.

……

"Three million gold coins!" Ouyang Shuo started the first round of quotations.

Ouyang Shuo didn't have a childish spirit, and increased the price one by one. The offer of three million is the result of his repeated trade-offs, and is basically close to the upper limit price of such technology licensing.

In his previous life, according to the information disclosed on the forum, Keisuke Honda, the first lord of the Toei District, obtained the steam engine manufacturing technology from the Americans, and also spent three million gold coins.

Of course, that was already the first half of four years in Gaia.

In contrast, Ouyang Shuo's offer is already very sincere.

"Brother Wuyi is really bold!" Willian was indeed quite surprised, the offer was very close to his expectations. William was also very satisfied with Ouyang Shuo's refreshment.

At the end of the day, William was a lazy man and didn't like to haggle back and forth.

It's just that what should be fought for, and it has to be fought for.

Three million gold coins can only be said to have just reached his minimum expectations, and there is still room for growth.

After all, for a lord like William, money is important, but it is not the most important. Although three million gold coins was already an astronomical amount, it was not enough to make William completely moved.

"Not enough!" William shook his head firmly.

"Plus a thousand more scuba apparatus." Ouyang Shuo was still unhurried.

Ouyang Shuo was very interested and did not continue to make a fuss about the amount of gold coins, because three million gold coins was basically a limit. William's so-called "insufficient" naturally needs to be supplemented by other items.

Buying and selling is nothing more than a relationship between supply and demand.

As long as you grasp the needs of the other party, you don't have to worry about the other party's mismatch.

The underwater breathing apparatus is undoubtedly such an artifact, but there is no navy that does not covet this object. In particular, the frogman tactics successfully used by Shanhai City pushed the role of underwater breathing apparatus to the peak.

Whether or not there is a frogman brigade will become one of the criteria for measuring the rating of a navy.

Speaking of which, Britain is the real maritime power.

There is no doubt that Fort Ivek is also known for its navy, so the scuba is of great significance.

Ouyang Shuo made a move, which is a thousand, which is not ungenerous.

I have to say that William was moved.

It's just that the steam engine was no joke, it was the central invention of the first industrial revolution. Especially at this point in time, selling the technology is also risky for Fort Ivek.

"It's still not enough." William hesitated, but reluctantly refused.

Ouyang Shuo's eyes froze, and the other party's greed was a little surprising to him. It seems that when discussing business, William had already completely forgotten about Shanhai City's rescue of Anne.

This person is sensible, and it is a little scary.

"So, what about adding this?"

Ouyang Shuo once again offered a hole card and took out a dragon crystal.

When William saw this, his breath became short. Without him, just because William was a magician.

"That's my limit." Ouyang Shuo had to remind the other party.

William nodded, not really insatiable. It's just that there is still a trace of unwillingness in his eyes, and he asked: "You should still have a dragon crystal in your hand, tell me about your conditions." ”

"Plus the loom manufacturing technology." Ouyang Shuo said with a smile.

"Nope." William didn't even think about it and refused directly.

The loom was another iconic invention of the first industrial revolution, which revolutionized the entire textile industry and brought about earth-shaking changes.

Although the loom is not as significant as the steam engine, it is also a treasure.

With such an item, how could William sell it cheaply?!

Ouyang Shuo didn't expect William to agree directly, and continued: "What if you add another million gold coins, and twenty three-bowed eight-cow bed crossbows? ”

One million gold coins is the difference in the price of the loom, and the three-bow and eight-cow monnieri crossbow is naturally a special need.

When William heard this, his eyes lit up, "Are you talking about the mysterious weapon you used to shoot the dragon?" It was from Anne that he learned about the process of the ocean-going fleet shooting the dragon.

"Not bad!" Ouyang Shuo did not hide it.

"Deal!"

This time, William replied crisply.

"Deal!"

Ouyang Shuo took the initiative to reach out and held William tightly, unable to hide his excitement in his heart.

Shanhai City, and even the entire Chinese region, has completely laid the foundation for the next three or four years. China will no longer suffer the humiliation of its previous life because of its great technological backwardness.

Of course, gaps remain.

The purchase of steam engine and loom manufacturing technology is only one part of the technical system. In terms of firearms, Western countries still have a huge technological advantage, waiting for Shanhai City to overcome.

This type of technology is the most advanced in the United States.

I can't say, at some point in the future, Ouyang Shuo is going to come on a trip to the Americas.
