Chapter 1360: With My Strength, Even God Has to Give Me Face!

Just when Lu Guangyin was secretly carefully planning and laying out.

On the other side, Lin Jiafeng, the manager of Tiantie Island's supply department, was finally found and hurried in following Hu Shulin.

There are currently six inhabited islands in the Mine Island Alliance, which are divided into the upper three and the lower three.

Ranked according to strength, they are: Jinyan Island, Firestone Island, Shuima Island, Tiantie Island, Qianshan Island, and Silver Sand Island.

Among them, Jinyan Island in Shangsanjia is undoubtedly the strongest, with more than 70,000 residents.

The strength of Flint Island and Shuima Island is basically the same, both have 50,000 people.

The next three Tiantie Island, Qianshan Island, and Yinsha Island can be regarded as brothers and sisters, with just over 30,000 people.

At present, relying on joint care for each other, the three islands can still help each other and resist the pressure from above.

But if things continue like this, annexation and integration will definitely be a certainty.

Therefore, the managers of the three islands are anxiously looking for opportunities to break the situation.

"They have iron boats... If we can get a few more, let's see if Wu dares to send people over to harass us next time!" Lin Jiafeng gritted his teeth.

The mineral island of Shuima Island and the mineral island of Tiantie Island are close to each other, and frictions often break out between the two parties.

It can be said that if their managers hadn't always been as tolerant as possible, they would have been together long ago.

"How many boats should I switch to? You have such a big appetite. You have never seen how powerful that thing is!" Hu Shulin paused. Although he also coveted the iron boat, he was still quite convinced.

No matter how much ore there is, it is just a resource. Without enough technology and industry, it cannot be exchanged for strength.

But that iron boat is a real weapon. With one, you can ride freely on the water.

"Maybe, we can't even think about it." Lin Jiafeng breathed a sigh of relief, and the two of them came to the restaurant one after another.

Looking inside through the half-open door, the table is already filled with all kinds of dishes, and the aroma is overflowing and mouth-watering.

However, unlike the outsiders who came here in the past and were afraid of wasting this rare opportunity, Spicy Iron Hammer and Doomsday Madman behaved quite calmly.

The two of us use chopsticks, one for you, and one for me. We pick up the dishes gracefully, savoring the taste of each dish. Occasionally, we put down our chopsticks to exchange a few words about the dishes, or chat about other gossip.

This calm attitude made Lin Jiafeng suddenly startled again.

Fortunately, Hu Shulin had already prepared himself mentally and was not stunned at this moment. He quickly pulled the former open the door and walked inside.

First, he asked a few questions about the taste of the food as usual, and then quickly took over the topic and introduced:

"Two distinguished guests, this is Lin Jiafeng, the manager of our purchasing department."

Spicy Iron Hammer and Doomsday Madman quickly stood up, shook hands with Lin Jiafeng and exchanged greetings.

"Manager Lin, hello. We also heard from the survivors that the ore from the Mineral Island Alliance is of high quality, so we hurried over to take a look."

It is rare to see outsiders like this who are obviously powerful but yet so humble.

The friendly attitude of the two people couldn't help but make Lin Jiafeng feel relieved. This was much better than the people he had dealt with in the past.

"You two are really visionary and courageous. As soon as you heard the news, you dared to travel thousands of miles to investigate on the spot. This is much better than 99% of the people in the wasteland. But since you know something about the ore, Then I won’t beat around the bush.”

Lin Jiafeng said frankly, "Actually, the quality of the ore on our Tiantie Island is not top-notch in the entire Mine Island Alliance, especially the iron ore. If you buy it back, you may have to undergo a second purification before it can be used, but I promise In terms of price, you can get the lowest price, and it’s a price that no other company can offer.”

Spicy Iron Hammer nodded and expressed his understanding: "The quality of ore in each mining area will be different, I understand this. I wonder if Manager Lin can give a detailed introduction to the ore situation on your Tiantie Island?"

"Of course." Lin Jiafeng paused and started introducing iron ore, which is the most basic and most in demand.

"The iron ore in Tiantie Island mainly contains two types: magnetite and hematite. Magnetite has a higher iron content, but it also has relatively more impurities, while hematite has a slightly higher iron content. Lower, but higher purity. I wonder which type of iron ore you are more interested in?”

"We are interested in both types of iron ore." Spicy Iron Hammer replied immediately, "But we are more concerned about the smelting performance and cost of the ore. I wonder if Manager Lin can provide some information on these two aspects. ?”

"This..." Lin Jiafeng hesitated. The question raised by the other party could be said to be quite professional.

Most of the external buyers who came a few days ago were only concerned about three issues.

One is the quantity, the other is the price, and the last one is the quality.

It can be said that as long as you ask these three questions, you can determine with a high probability that the other party is a half-way monk.

I simply don’t understand the attribute conditions for measuring the value of ore in actual operation and use.

"Although our magnetite has more impurities, after proper smelting process, high-quality molten iron can be obtained, while hematite is easier to smelt into high-purity iron. As for the cost, due to our ore Mining and processing are semi-mechanized, so the cost is relatively low. I wonder if you two have any special requirements or suggestions for smelting technology?”

"Manager Lin is indeed a knowledgeable person."

Spicy Iron Hammer smiled and immediately heard what the other person meant.

It is not a question of quality, but whether it can be paid more.

For example, although magnetite has many impurities, if a suitable pretreatment process is adopted, such as gravity separation or magnetic separation, some impurities can be effectively removed and the grade of the ore entering the furnace can be improved. In this way, during the smelting process, not only the quality of molten iron can be improved, but also the energy consumption and cost of smelting can be reduced. "

But the cost of this process is also quite high, and workers need to operate one piece of ore at a time.

Even if it is placed in the Tianyuan territory, this repetitive work cannot be avoided at present.

Therefore, it must be a more cost-effective deal to complete it on Tiantie Island with low labor costs.

"In addition, although the iron content of hematite is slightly lower, its purity is high. Pretreatment technologies such as flotation or electrostatic separation can be considered to improve the quality of the ore before smelting. "

"And copper mines, I have a potion formula we developed here, which can effectively promote the separation of copper minerals and impurity minerals in copper mines..."

Mala Tiechui talked freely, and Lin Jiafeng listened, and the shock on his face became more and more intense.

He didn't expect that this seemingly gentle young man would have such a deep understanding of smelting technology.

"Brother Shu, what did you do before? How do you know so much about traditional smelting?"

"Hahaha, I also explored it by myself. There is no other way. The situation in the wasteland forced us to do everything we can to achieve our goals as much as possible."

"Explore it by yourself? "

Lin Jiafeng certainly wouldn't believe such nonsense.

But it was meaningless to speculate at this time, and the other party obviously didn't intend to answer the truth.

"Do you... need a larger amount..."

Lin Jiafeng rubbed his index finger and thumb and made a gesture of counting money.

If it was just a small batch of ore purchases, it would be enough to talk about the price.

But talking about the smelting technology and requirements means that the purpose of this group of people is not just a little ore.

"That's right, how much ore do you have, we want it all."

Mala Tiechui bared his white teeth and said unceremoniously.

For a moment, only the sound of tables and chairs falling to the ground was heard next to him, and Hu Shulin, who was still listening, fell to the ground with his legs weak.

What the hell?

All of them?

If an ordinary person said this, Hu Shulin would definitely think that the other party was making trouble and testing them.

But this group of people driving iron boats, based on their current strength...

"All of them, you don't even know our production, and you dare to take all of them? "

A voice came from the restaurant door, just as abrupt as when Hu Shulin appeared before.

Several figures walked in, led by Sun Guangmin, the manager of Tiantie Island who hurried over.

Unlike the lords and managers of most gathering places in the wasteland, Sun Guangmin is not the kind of rough and bold leader, but more like a gentle scholar.

He is of medium build and gaunt, but wearing a waisted long gown that covers his feet, which looks a bit old-fashioned and a bit old-fashioned.

But after his sparse hair was combed back, revealing his broad forehead and deep eyes, a few strands of silver were mixed in his black hair, which not only did not damage his demeanor, but added a bit of vicissitudes and heaviness.

This is a manager who looks a bit like an old teacher.

He looks serious and old-fashioned, but there is an indescribable sense of intimacy.

"Haha." Mala Tiechui smiled heartily, and greeted Sun Guangmin and his party who had just entered the restaurant with a calm look, "This should be the manager of Tiantie Island, Mr. Sun, right? "

While speaking, his tone naturally revealed a kind and respectful tone, which not only expressed his recognition of Sun Guangmin's identity, but also showed his own dignity.

"To be honest, since we have been able to find out about the Mining Island Alliance, we are willing to come here from afar to investigate the situation, which is enough to show our sincerity and strength. Moreover, if our demand cannot even meet the output of an island, then there is no need for us to go to such great lengths to come here."

"Well said, it seems that the situation has changed, and we have also met a noble person on Tiantie Island!"

Sun Guangmin's eyes lit up, not only was he not angry because of the other party's casual attitude, but he was even more surprised.

Whether he is confident or not, you can really hear it clearly in two sentences.

The confidence that the other party just showed is not like the general gathering place.

"That's natural. The strength is here. Even if God comes, he has to give me face! "

Mala Tiechui was so domineering for once.

He knew very well that the more critical the moment, the less he could show any sign of cowardice.

Immediately, the two parties sat down and began to negotiate.

Let's start with the supply of ore. The output of Tiantie Island is indeed good. Relying on the homemade earthen blast furnace, it can reach about 15 tons per day.

Even if the subsequent pre-treatment process needs to be carefully selected, it can be guaranteed to hover around 10 tons.

And this is based on the premise that the technology has not been upgraded. If they are willing to trade some technology to continue to upgrade the equipment, Mala Tiechui will not be stingy in providing support.

This is a win-win situation.

As long as the output of Tiantie Island can eventually stabilize at about 50 tons per day, then the monthly output of 1,500 tons can meet all the needs of the current Tianyuan territory.

Of course, this is based on the premise that Tianyuan will not continue to develop.

According to the current development plan, under the dual needs of rebuilding the city and continuing to expand the territory, the demand for ore will only increase.

In the future, one Tiantie Island will definitely not be able to meet Tianyuan's needs, and even the entire Mining Island Alliance will not be enough.

But this is a later story. At this stage, we should first negotiate the current cooperation and ensure the stability of short-term demand.

"This output is still too little. We can even reserve all your surplus this year. This is not a problem at all."

"Is this still too little?" Lin Jiafeng couldn't help but smack his lips.

The six islands are inferior in smelting quality, and the quantity is actually not much different.

Even Jinyan Island's current daily output is not much higher, only about 20 tons.

"If it is not enough, we can still borrow from other islands for you. We will definitely guarantee the delivery volume. This is not a problem for the Mining Island Alliance."

As a manager, Sun Guangmin's courage is indeed extraordinary.

Others are still amazed at the demand for Mala Iron Hammer, but he immediately expressed a clearer attitude.

"But sir..." He smiled: "So much ore, the price is not cheap, we can guarantee the delivery volume, can you guarantee to provide what we need?"

"What do you need?"

This time it was the Doomsday Madman who took up the conversation.

It has been Mala Iron Hammer who has been showing off for a long time, and he is so frustrated.

"Since you have occupied such a good place, you should not look at the living supplies and technical information first, but build up defense first. We don't want to change partners next time we come here."

"To be honest, I sell weapons, but you can rest assured that I have a good reputation. I am not selling melons and selling my own money. The weapons I sell are definitely durable!"

"Guns, do you want them? Not your homemade guns. We have standard rifles, pistols, machine guns, and sniper rifles. They are more durable than Ak. You can have as many bullets as you want..."

"Do you want rockets of various calibers? The price is very cheap. Do you want to buy a few hundred rounds to try?"

"Hey, there are also mortars. Since you are on the island, you must need this thing. How many do you want? I will transport you two hundred mortars. Will it be enough?"

"..."

The apocalypse madman counted on his fingers and told them one by one.

At first, everyone could barely keep calm, but the more time went by, the more shock they could not control.

Even Sun Guangmin couldn't help licking his lips, his whole body trembling slightly, his eyes showing a gleam of brilliance.

Bad news.

This guy in front of me seems to be a madman, a arms madman who doesn't care about the consequences and gets more and more excited as he talks!

With sharp weapons in his hands, he is murderous.

Doesn't he know that such wanton dumping of arms and weapons abroad will definitely cause widespread chaos?

But good news.

The target of the sale is us!

Then... everything is fine?

...
