Chapter 399: Shock!
Immediately, Chief Geronimo asked impatiently.
"How do you exchange this kerosene lamp?"
"Ten beaver skins for kerosene lamps, five bottles of kerosene for fuel."
These things are all fragile things, and they are not easy to carry, that is, Chen Mo has space, so he doesn't have to think about these problems, so he brings a lot of everything.
Chief Jeronimo couldn't help but nod when he heard Chen Mo's offer.
"Your price is fair!"
You must know that the acquisition team of the American Fur Company costs ten beaver skins to sell them a knife to cut meat, compared to it, Chen Mo's price is already very fair.
Chen Mo didn't feel that he had suffered a loss, after this beaver skin was sold, it was enough to buy hundreds of kerosene lamps.
Beaver fur is warm, soft and comfortable, and has always been a favorite clothing fabric for royalty and aristocracy, and it is also quite expensive.
Hats made of beaver fur have good waterproof performance and will not be deformed even on rainy days, and are highly sought after in Europe and are very popular.
Because beaver fur is produced on the American continent, it is not easy to buy and transport, and the demand is huge, the price of beaver fur has risen again and again, but it is still in short supply.
Now not only in Europe, this trend has also spread to the United States, and the price of beaver fur is even higher, so although Chen Mo's price is much higher than that of the acquisition team of the American fur company, this extra cost is not worth mentioning at all compared to the huge benefits obtained, Chen Mo is not those American businessmen who get into the eyes of money, the profits of the fur trade are already very amazing, there is no need to continue to oppress and exploit these Indians.
Although it is impossible to trade according to the true value of the fur, the materials carried by Chen Mo are much richer and more diverse than the American fur company that was originally in a monopoly position, and the price offered for the fur is nearly double that given by the original purchase team, which makes these indigenous Indians who have been oppressed and exploited for a long time very happy, and they have praised Chen Mo and the three for their fair trade.
In this Indian tribe called Lakota, Chen Mo exchanged a large number of beaver skins, mink skins, bison skins, and other kinds of furs with various materials, and even a huge bear skin.
The length of this bear skin is nearly three meters, and the original size should be extremely large, estimated to weigh more than 700 kilograms, which is a well-deserved giant.
If you want to kill it, it is not a simple matter, and even some weak tribes are likely to be slaughtered and injured if they encounter such a huge beast, and looking at the situation of the Lakota tribe, it does not look like they have paid a huge price, so it can be seen that the warrior strength of the Lakota tribe is quite good.
This rare huge bear skin Chen Mo directly offered it a hundred beaver skins, which made Chief Geronimo very happy, and called Chen Mo a fair price, and after the transaction was over, he left Chen Mo and the three of them to be warmly entertained.
The next day, Chief Jeronimo personally bid farewell to Chen Mo and the three in front of the tribe.
"The Lakota Tribe looks forward to your return again. Our Lakota tribe warriors are some of the most powerful warriors in the Missouri Forest, and next time, we'll be preparing more beast skins to trade with you, and hopefully you'll be able to bring more and better things to the table. ”
Chief Geronimo said with a proud face.
Chen Mo nodded when he heard this, Chief Jeronimo was indeed not bragging, as far as these Indian tribes he had been to were concerned, the warriors of the Lakota tribe were indeed the strongest and bravest of all the tribes.
Looking at Chief Jeronimo, Chen Mo nodded lightly and said slowly.
"Yes."
……
The Lakota tribe was just one of the many Indian tribes that Chen Mo, Victor, and James passed by, and with the repeated transactions during this time, the large amount of daily necessities stored in Chen Mo's space in New York, and the materials stolen from the armed personnel of the American Fur Company, were quickly replaced by stacks of precious furs.
With Chen Mo's huge space of 1,000 cubic meters, if it is all filled, when he leaves the forest and returns to New York, the value represented will be extremely amazing.
In fact, not all Indians will be like the Lakota tribe, satisfied that Chen Mo has a much higher purchase price of fur than the American Fur Company, and high-quality, low-priced, and a wide variety of materials, and honestly trade with Chen Mo and the three of them, but feel that they are weak, just ordinary small fur merchants, without the deterrence of powerful armed forces like the American Fur Company, so they want to rely on the large number of their tribe and forcibly snatch the materials of Chen Mo and the three.
The final result is naturally self-evident, without Chen Mo's action, after a lot of battles, Victor and James, who have greatly increased their strength, killed all the Indians who started to rob.
Chen Mo didn't kill them all, he killed the Indians of the entire tribe, but only killed those who did the robbery.
Victor and James' prowess in battle, their fierce fighting style like beasts, and their distinctive weapons were enough to deter the remaining Indians from having thoughts they shouldn't have.
During the battle, the claws and bone spurs of Victor and James were inevitably seen by the other Indians present, coupled with the strong speed and agility shown by the two in the battle, as well as the ability to continue the battle as if they were not harmed at all after being hit, all of which shocked the Indian natives present, and couldn't help but think of the legend that had recently spread among the tribes.
It is said that in the middle of this vast jungle, two fierce humanoid beasts with terrifying claws on their hands appeared, and slaughtered the armed personnel of the American Fur Company.
However, this was just a legend before, although some people thought that the ancestral spirit apparition sent these two fierce beasts to punish the armed personnel of the American Fur Company who oppressed and exploited them, but there are also many people who thought that they had just encountered a grizzly bear or other fierce beast.
But this time, someone really saw the whole process of the two of them growing claws and bone spurs out of thin air, as well as their incomparably powerful combat power, and the unimaginable terrifying ability to ignore attacks and not be killed, and the previous rumors completely became a reality.
The Indians present at the time could not help but have a strong fear and even reverence for Victor and James, and their power and magic began to be widely propagated
