319. Talk about business
Hearing Sean's somewhat confused question, the young man smiled.
He had a kind of boldness that was unique to a blacksmith.
This kind of personality is shared by many NPCs of the blacksmith profession in the game. What they hate the most is that people are scheming with them, and if you negotiate sincerely, most of the time they will be willing to give the player some discount or something as long as they have the right appetite. However, it is only limited to blacksmiths, like the weapon shop owners of the Pan-continental Chamber of Commerce Alliance, that is, merchants, and every time you negotiate with them, it is no less than fighting a war.
The young man smiled and patted Sean on the shoulder—he was half a head taller than Sean, and he was a little bigger than Sean, and although the two were of the same age, the blacksmith industry was easy to make people look more mature, so he looked more like Sean's brother—and said, "I'm the owner of this shop...... My grandson, my name is Little Kui'an. When I inherit this store one day, I'll be old Kui'an, haha. ”
Sean could feel the man's joy, though he still didn't know who this man really was: "Hello, my name is Sean. ”
"I know, I know." The young man who called himself Xiao Kuian nodded, "The black hair and black pupils are all called by this name." …… Hey, you're looking for the Grand Duke's weapons, right? …… Well, right around the corner, a handful of five gold coins. …… Well, but I think you're pretty nice, even if you have three gold coins, but you can't tell anyone. ”
In the end, Xiao Kui'an's voice was already very low, obviously afraid that others would hear it.
But Sean also understood at this moment, and this guy who dared to love also regarded himself as one of those impostors.
Sean thought for a moment. I think it's okay if the Ryan Kingdom is in this situation now. Then it is convenient for him to act, and he does not have to worry about what problems will be caused. And think about it this way. Sean thought that maybe he should really buy a Grand Duke weapon to see what the situation was.
Before, Sean's attention was on those display stands, so he didn't notice that there was a weapon barrel in the corner of the weapon shop near the door wall - this kind of weapon barrel, different from the ordinary weapon rack, is basically a place where some inferior weapons are stacked, but many adventurers like to dig those gold-embroidered weapons in this weapon barrel, because they can occasionally pick up a leak, maybe they can find a demonized weapon that has lost its magic effect.
Just now, Sean noticed that there were a lot of adventurers gathered here, but he didn't pay attention to it at that time. So I didn't pay much attention to it. At this time, under the guidance of the blacksmith, he understood, but when he saw the figures of those adventurers, Sean felt funny.
The owner of this blacksmith shop can forge so many high-quality weapons, and his vision is naturally not going to be bad, and there will definitely be nothing good that can make these dig.
After getting closer, Sean realized that there was a weapon barrel here, which was filled with more than a dozen black long swords. But it doesn't have a scabbard.
After just one glance, Sean was a little stunned, and then immediately reached out and took out a long sword.
This long sword is exactly the same as the Black King on Sean's body!
It's not just about appearances. Including the length of the sword body, the sharpness of the sword, the hilt, the pattern of the hilt, the handguard scale, the color, the texture of the sword body, etc., it is all exactly the same, as if it were a replica. If it weren't for Sean knowing. His own Black King was created by his own hands, and there are no drawings that have survived. He almost wondered if someone had leaked the blueprints for forging his weapon.
After you get it, of course. Sean found that there were some differences.
The Black King was lighter than his original.
After a little weighing, Sean estimated that it would not weigh more than three catties, compared to the Black King's Cheng Dù, which weighed a hundred catties, it could be said to be a toy.
Glancing at it with the True Eye, Sean quickly discovered all the relevance of the weapon, and as expected, it was indeed an average-quality weapon.
[Grand Duke's weapon, Normal, Hardness 7, Piercing 13, Sharpness 9.] 】
[Item Description: This is the Grand Duke of the Void, Sean. The replica of the weapon used by Connery, made by the old Quian smith shop in Roma City, is good but not cheap. 】
After glancing at it again, Sean could roughly tell that the weapon's forging material was made from a composite of three ores. In terms of the level of craftsmanship, it is actually not low, and coupled with the complexity of the materials used, the cost and labor alone are worth the least of two gold coins. Sean heard that little Quian seemed to only need to sell himself four gold coins, which proved that the other party didn't make much money.
But after a little thought, Sean put the sword back down.
Ordinary quality weapons don't mean that Sean can't be used, he doesn't say that after becoming a Grand Duke, his personality becomes domineering or picky. It's just that this sword is too light for him, and the hardness is not enough, it is more brittle than an ordinary blacksmith, only the hardness is only about the same as a light sword, but the piercing is not as good as a light sword. It can be said that this sword is not a good weapon except for selling a shape.
Seeing that the adventurers around him were still trying to pull out something from the nearby weapons pile, Sean turned and walked towards the counter of the weapons shop.
Little Quian sat inside yawning, looking a little bored, and only after seeing Sean coming, he got up and said hello. However, seeing that Sean did not hold a weapon, he was a little surprised: "Huh? Why don't you take a Grand Duke's weapon? …… Your name is Shaun, aren't you? ”
"Do you have to get those weapons if you call Shaun?" Sean shook his head and smiled.
"Now the person named Sean has those weapons." Xiao Kuian was a little puzzled, "In just these two days, we have sold hundreds of handfuls. ”
Hearing this, Sean was suddenly shocked in his heart.
A handful sells hardware coins, hundreds of them, that is 500 gold coins, and if you deduct the cost and labor, I am afraid you can earn more than 300 gold coins.
This money doesn't seem to be a lot of money, but you must know that these weapons are just ordinary weapons, and this store can make so many imitations in batches, it must have mastered some kind of forging process similar to an assembly line. In this way, this is simply a very lucrative means of making money!
"So many people are buying?" Sean was a little surprised.
"A lot." Xiao Kui'an may be qualified to be a blacksmith, but it is obviously not good to be a businessman at that time, Sean didn't use any means, he poured it out himself like pouring beans, "In the whole of Ryan, only my grandfather can make it, so now many people named Sean have come to us to buy it." …… A few days ago, someone from the Chamber of Commerce Alliance came to my grandfather and wanted to buy out the patent business rights. ”
Hearing this, Sean let out a sneer.
It seems that those guys from the Pan-continental Chamber of Commerce Alliance are not jealous. He blacklisted himself, refused to trade with him, and refused to sell even slaves to him, but when he saw that there was such a big business opportunity here, he immediately swam over like a shark that smelled blood.
"Your grandfather agreed?" Sean asked.
"Not really." Little Kuian shook his head, "Grandpa said that those are not good people, so he didn't agree. …… However, they don't seem to have given up, and they don't seem to be being honest lately. …… Grandpa told me to be careful, don't go out of the city if it's okay, fortunately there is a security patrol in the city. It's just that the price of the ore materials needed to make these weapons has risen a bit too much recently, so we only have this little stock left. ”
"Wouldn't it be nice to raise the price a little bit." Sean was a little curious.
Isn't the pricing standard of market prices linked to raw materials? If the cost increases, the finished product will of course increase accordingly.
But unexpectedly, Xiao Kuian shook his head: "Grandpa said, these things are just very general quality, and even have to give up some qualities in order to pursue appearance, making the current level is the limit, and the materials needed to improve it are too precious, and the price is not cost-effective." …… Now the things of the Grand Duke of the Void can usually be sold for a good price, but there is also a limit, those who are willing to spend for this are just for curiosity and vanity, and they are not really fools, so raising the price will ruin our own reputation, it is better to sell these survival after they are sold out, and then they will not be sold. ”
After hearing this, Sean was a little surprised in his heart, but he didn't expect that the old owner of this store was actually a sincere person. After a moment's thought, Sean asked; "Is your grandfather here now?"
"Yes, in the backyard." Xiao Kui'an nodded, but his expression was a little wary, "What do you want to do?" ”
"Don't be nervous, I just wanted to ask your grandfather if he would like to make a deal with me." Sean smiled, he did like the family a little, "I won't let you suffer." …… Anyway, there are a lot of benefits here, but this kind of thing involves a bit big, and you definitely can't be the master, so let your grandfather be the master. ”
"Who said I can't be the master?" Xiao Kui'an snorted, "Say, no matter how big the business is, I have done it." ”
"Millions of business." Sean asked with a smile.
At this moment, Xiao Kuian was really frightened, his eyes widened, and he looked at Sean in disbelief: "...... Millions ......? ”
"Specialized in the business of demonic weapons." The corners of Sean's mouth raised slightly, seeing Xiao Kui'an, who had always looked bold, showing this kind of surprise, Sean also felt interesting, "The monopoly of demonized weapons produced by the Void Principality will be represented by you with full authority, how about it?" ”
"You...... You ......" Hearing Sean's words, he took a closer look at Sean's appearance, Xiao Quian is not a fool, how can he not guess Sean's identity," ...... Big Big ...... Your Excellency, Your ...... You, you, you...... Wait a minute, I, I'm ......."
Listening to Xiao Kui'an's stammering, Sean laughed, which attracted many people in the store to look at him curiously, but Sean didn't care at all: "Go and ask your grandfather, I'll wait here, and help you look at the store by the way." …… With me, you can rest assured that no one will be able to steal anything.
