Renault gently rubbed the palm of his hand and said slowly:
"Your Highness, it''s a very one-sided way to measure the cost simply by the price of goods. It should include all aspects. Maybe in another word, it''s easier for you to understand, that''s" comprehensive cost. "
"Take the equipment purchased by the knights as an example. I''m sure that if you use the equipment of Mayers chamber of Commerce, the death rate of the Knights will be at least 20% higher after a fierce battle."
When Renault said this, Modric''s face became very ugly. He opened his mouth to interrupt Renault.
But Renault has been prepared for a long time. This excrement stirring stick is addictive. When the extraordinary person talks, you, an ordinary person who is not even an awakened person, dare to interrupt?
I don''t know what to do!
Renault''s heart moved, Modric suddenly felt his temple, as if he had been hit by a blow, brain "buzz", consciousness instantly blurred.
He shakes a few times suddenly. When he is about to fall, he feels that his waist and legs are held by something, and his body is bound in the same place.
One side of the knight''s regiment leader Alex seems to have noticed something, just that moment of mental power fluctuations, it is incredible, as if hidden in the depths of the sea super giant, suddenly surfaced, showing a ferocious face, let him feel frightened.
This kind of fluctuation of mental power can only be produced by the top of the extraordinary, and only he and Renault are present.
There is no doubt that this fluctuation must come from Mr. Renault.
Alex can not help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, decided to pretend nothing to see, at the same time, he also secretly Renault''s danger level, adjusted to the highest level.
Then modridge realized what had happened.
He turned to Renault with a look of supplication in his eyes.
Renault didn''t pay any attention to Modric, but said to himself:
"Your Highness, 20% more battle damage may mean 40-50 more Knights..."
Renault''s voice became impassioned.
"In my opinion, these loyal and fearless knights are your sharpest spear and your strongest shield. Their value can''t be measured by money!"
The knights who are listening to Renault''s speech show their pride one after another, and many people look at Renault with gratitude.
It''s a great honor to get such a comment from a powerful and extraordinary man.
"What''s more, if there is a large number of downsizing in the Knights order, even if you can recruit a number of people again, can you build a hasty army with tacit understanding before? Can it be as powerful as before? "
"No! Absolutely not! Any new recruit will become an experienced soldier only after he has experienced enough baptism of war. "
In Renault''s endless explanation, Duke Byron''s face became more and more solemn, and he nodded gently from time to time. It was obvious that he had begun to agree with Renault''s point of view.
Because Renault is right to say that if he takes a small advantage in the transaction, he is likely to pay a greater price in the battlefield.
Then Renault accentuated his voice and said the last paragraph.
"Your Highness, as an extraordinary person, I have participated in many battles. I deeply understand that the factors that influence the outcome of a war often lie in some trivial advantages."
"Better armor and weapons are sometimes just ''some trivial advantages'', which is also an important factor for your knights to win."
"Perhaps, at a critical moment in the future, the outcome of a war will probably determine whether your territory can be preserved or not..."
The Duke of Byron suddenly showed the color of deep thinking. He whispered "comprehensive cost" several times, and suddenly understood the meaning of the word deeply.
He stood up straight, gazed at Renault with admiration, patted his palm a few times, and said:
"Mr. Renault, your discussion on" comprehensive cost "is very wonderful, and you have successfully convinced me!"
"I am willing to accept the offer of 11000 jinnals. The armor and weapons needed by the Knights will be supplied by Haichao chamber of Commerce..."
In these two sentences, Duke Byron used the honorary title of "you" for the first time. Obviously, Renault''s performance has completely convinced him that Renault is not only a powerful and extraordinary man, but also a wise man with extraordinary wisdom.
That''s why he uses "you" to show his respect.
Renault bowed slightly to Duke Byron and said calmly:
"thank you for your appreciation, and please believe that every weapon and armor delivered by Haichao chamber of Commerce will guarantee high quality, and will never be inferior to the samples here."
He turned his head and glanced at Modric, who was a "excrement stirring stick", and relaxed the shackles of his mental power.Modric groaned in a low voice. After glancing at Renault, he dropped his head and trembled slightly.
At this moment, in his mind, Renault is more terrible than the devil. If you give him 10000 courage, he will not dare to fight against Renault.
Goodall, standing on one side, looks at his Lord with a look of respect and admiration.
He never thought that this kind of extremely difficult negotiation, with the Lord''s clever mouth that can make the dead alive, would make Duke Byron accept the offer of the chamber of commerce completely without any discount.
If he were to lead the negotiation himself, I''m afraid it would be inevitable to give a 20% or 10% discount.
Alex coughed and said:
"Mr. Renault, let''s talk about the second order. We need two sets of hot air balloons and 20 telescopes for the time being. I hope you can give us a discount on the price."
He added:
"in addition, if we are satisfied with the actual effect of the balloon, we will add more orders..."
Renault''s brilliant smile showed his white teeth.
"The unit price of a hot-air balloon is 550 jinnals, but if you want to master its driving method, you must receive professional training. Each hot-air balloon needs to be equipped with a standard 10 person team, and the training cost is 50 jinnals."
"The unit price of the telescope is 65 jinnals, and the total price is 2700 jinnals. As the first customer, I will give you a 85% discount. You only need to pay 2300 jinnals."
"By the way, we will give 2 tons of diesel for each set of hot air balloon. After the consumption of diesel, you need to buy it from Haichao chamber of Commerce. Its price is 3 jinnals per ton..."
Duke Byron and Alex looked at each other and readily accepted the price.
"Your price, Mr. Renault."
All the weapons worth more than 10000 jinnals were bought, and Duke Byron was too lazy to bargain for such a small sum of money.
Renault''s smile grew stronger. He bowed again and said:
"Your Highness, you are a generous nobleman. The total amount of these two orders is 13300 jinnals. You need to pay 30% deposit, that is 4000 jinnals, within three days. All the equipment will be delivered within one month, and the remaining money will be settled on the spot..."
Renault Bara kept talking, and his heart was already full of joy.
For the first time, he deeply understood that the arms business is very profitable. With the industrial standard and low cost advantages of haichaoling, the net profit of this order is almost 90%.
Not to mention such profiteering products as armor and hot-air balloons, Renault sold three tons of fuel and diesel for hot-air balloons.
In fact, the cost of diesel oil is quite low. The reserves of black ice in the Haichao islands are extremely amazing. A professional black ice collection ship can dig up more than 2000 tons of diesel oil a day, and the black oil distillation line can extract nearly 350 tons of diesel oil, with an average cost of no more than 10 Silver tons.
Several giant oil depots on Odin island have been full for a long time, but they can''t fit any more. The consumption rate of various fuels can''t keep up with the production rate. Now the distillation line has to reduce the production frequency and start every three days.
Even if the diesel oil is transported to the port of Copernicus for a long distance, the cost will not exceed 20 Silver nals. Compared with the price of 3 gold nals, it is a huge profit.
But the Duke of Byron had to accept the price, because only the ocean tide chamber of Commerce sold diesel in the whole foreign world. Even if he knew the information that diesel was produced in black ice, he could not extract it.
This is the technical barrier. Whoever establishes this barrier will have the absolute right to speak, and can sharpen the sword and kill others.
