Chapter 1162: Substitutes and Arms Dealers (3)

After speaking, Kasia observed the expressions of the two of them and did not speak again. With a gesture of his hand, showing the two of them his hand, Kasia then walked to the window and opened it. The breeze brought a faint smell of gunsmoke, and some imperceptible dust had begun to fall slowly after a few hours.

"Ten minutes, give you time to think about it. If you want to go, just leave at any time, I won't do anything to you. The tone was gentle, and Kasia didn't want the two of them to take it as a threat.

It can't be said that it is hesitant, Phinea and Gels seem to be a little unsure of something. Such an opportunity is tantamount to a very exciting one for them, but they know too little information, and it can also be seen that the two are not people who only care about immediate interests, and will think about the stakes.

"Mr. Soriatu, can we ask a few simple questions?" Gers didn't know if Kasia was interested in Phinea, the only thing he was sure of was that he would have such an opportunity, and that most of the reason Kasia was willing to help them during this time was due to his sister Phinea. Then he touched Phinea lightly, and Gers motioned for his sister to ask, which might make the room much better.

Both of them were under Kasia's surveillance, and of course this little action could not be escaped.

"Yes, you can say anything you have any doubts. Cassia turned his head and said.

"We want to know your true identity, Mr. Soriatu, and we don't know if that's okay. Phinea thought for a moment before saying, "We used to think that you were a powerful mercenary, Mr. Soriatu, and like us, you came here because of the bounty commission from Mr. Vermer. But now 、、、"

Kasia turned around, looked at the two of them, and replied, "It's all a lie, I think someone told you that I was a hired man, when I first met you and saved you from the rebels." ”

After receiving the nod, Kasia continued: "In terms of specific identity, how to say it, there seem to be many of them, but the main thing is 、、、 you can see me as a weapons merchant. Arms dealers are fine, and the products and business now are no different from those arms and ammunition dealers, the only difference is that I have a little more of them. ”

Phinea and the two of them automatically magnified "that little bit" many, many times in their hearts.

"Arms dealers are fine, and if you join in the future, most of your work, or business, will be related to the business of these weapons and ammunition. ”

"Mr. Soriatu, since you are an arms merchant, then Mr. Vermer's side、、、 that is, Mr. Soriatu, do you still have the identity of a bounty hunter or mercenary?"

Kasia shook her head, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Do you really want to know?" Then I would like to remind you that although it is not an important reason, after you know, please make sure that this matter will only be in your head forever." ”

Seeing that the two of them were a little hesitant, Kasia smiled: "Don't worry, it's not that serious." You can listen to it. "I don't know if you've ever grown your own food or learned something about basic agricultural production." ”

Receiving a negative answer, Kasia smacked her lips and thought again for a few seconds. He remembered that there was such a passage in the book he had read, and he felt that it was very suitable as a metaphor at this time: "Actually, it's okay if you don't know, you will understand it very well, although it is not very appropriate, there are some essential differences in nature." In some parts of the empire, there was a vegetable called 'leek'. A vigorous plant, as long as it is given enough nutrients, can be harvested many times in the right season. This property provides good benefits compared to other edible vegetables. And then, from the very long time after I first started in the arms business, I had this idea. But then it was to help our buyers. ”

"To put it simply, I'm not very good at business, but I do know that sometimes, a lot of buyers don't pay for the goods all at once. If you're lucky, if you have enough time, you can recover these debts. But at that time, we encountered a lot of the same problems - the people who bought weapons and ammunition were certainly not doing serious business and things, and if they became corpses in some things, that is, the buyer died, would they still be able to get the arrears back?"

"No, you can't. Gers replied, seeming to understand something.

"That's the way it is, if it's a small business, involving only a few boxes of bullets, twenty or thirty weapons, these losses are acceptable. Because this kind of thing doesn't happen very often. However, if a powerful black market middleman in a certain region comes to pick up the goods and meets someone who is easy to talk to, we usually ask for a little higher than the actual cost price for the first payment, so as to ensure that we will not at least have a big loss. But some middlemen, or buyers, will not be happy. ”

"Maybe you will think directly, then simply do not do their business, in short, there are definitely not only a few buyers or middlemen, there are many, many more in a region. But there are many aspects involved. The most important point is that the business of weapons and ammunition is not so easy to do, not to mention it in small countries, just use the empire as an example, there are too many inferior workshops. It is not easy to seize business in a certain region, have its own status, and cultivate its own supply network of black market middlemen. In this, whether it is quantity or quality, it seems that it does not play a big role in the early stage, and in the end it comes down to price. In order to retain the middlemen and buyers who can develop, it is very important to divide the payment on the transaction into several payments, and each payment is several layers. This seems to be an established rule, and it is not something that can be changed by an individual alone. ”

"Thinking about it this way, when in business - here it refers to the kind of order with a huge amount, after this kind of order appears, in order to ensure that you can get back your own interests, at least the lowest cost price. So sometimes, we send our own people to help these middlemen and buyers deal with things that are very dangerous for them and can kill them. ”

"Eventually, over time, things will slowly move towards a good cycle. They will not die because of danger because of our help, and they can gradually develop better because of our help, and we can get back the payment, and because of their help, after their development, the demand for our products will increase at the same time, and a deeper relationship between buyers and sellers will be established. Such a circle-like pattern is not to say that it binds them to oneself, but it may be more appropriate to look at it as a regular customer in a restaurant. ”

"It's more like cooperating and helping each other, right?"

"I know you're going to think that. Kasia nodded, "It sounds like mutual cooperation and help, but in reality, we are raising them to grow stronger and stronger." One thing is clear, they are not because of themselves, but because of us, and our factors will play a large part of it. In short, if we withdraw the necessary help, the next time, the next danger, they are likely to end up in death completely. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to think of these buyers and middlemen as 'leeks' that they are semi-openly cultivated, because once they are left with the nutrients we have injected, it will be difficult for them to survive as usual. So at the appointed time, we can raise the price a little bit and start slowly reaping more benefits from them. Because by then, the chances of them leaving us were slim. ”

"Then 、、、 the king's power 、、、、" Phinea looked surprised, and she suddenly felt that her magnification for "that little bit" still seemed to be low.

Kasia immediately shook his head, not wanting the two to misunderstand anything: "I also hope that the actual situation is like this, but to reach this height, it is absolutely impossible at the moment. ”
