Chapter 693 Distribution

Li Huailin thought about it for a while. First of all, of course, it is the relationship with himself. This Marseille Liumu area is so far away from his territory. Basically, he has no interest relationship with him. Humans can’t mine it. It doesn't matter much to me. If I insist that it does, it means that if the talks between the two sides fail, I guess I will go to fight the dwarf country, which will be a little troublesome.

"Ambassador Ofuge, what price is the Dwarf Empire willing to pay for the mining rights of this mining area?" Li Huailin asked, "Don't tell me I didn't get it for nothing."

"Of course there is." Oufuge said immediately, "In fact, we are willing to deliver 1,600 tons of pig iron to the Human Empire every year. Of course, it is pig iron that has been smelted, and it is definitely not hematite that has not been smelted."

"That is to say, do you mine the ore and smelt it, and then deliver the smelted part to us?" Li Huailin asked.

"Yes, Grand Duke, this will be beneficial to both parties, right?" Ofuger said.

"It sounds like a good idea, so how much of the ore delivered to us accounts for the mined minerals?" Li Huailin asked.

"According to estimates, after the construction of the hematite mine in the Marseille Liumu area is completed, it can provide about 140,000 tons of hematite ore every year. After refining, the annual pig iron production is expected to be about 90,000 tons." Edwin here replied.

"Fuck, you take 90,000 tons a year and only give us 1,600 tons. Are you fucking kidding me?" Li Huailin said, and the 1,600 tons accounted for less than 2% of the total. This dwarf country is not making a lot of money.

"Grand Duke, we still need to invest in the construction of mines and refineries, and all the manpower and material resources are paid by us, so I think this ratio is very reasonable." Oufuge said, "And this figure It hasn’t been decided yet. The two sides can discuss it.”

"Edwin, do you agree with this plan?" Li Huailin asked.

"Grand Duke, I agree to hand over the mineral mining rights in the Marseille Liumu area to the dwarf country, but I am very sorry that I cannot agree to this distribution plan." Edwin said, although he is a diplomat stationed in the dwarf country. But it still represents the interests of the human empire.

"Oh. That's it." Li Huailin said, "I also feel that there is a huge difference in distribution."

"Hmm... I understand what the Grand Duke means." Oufuge said. "That is to say, the Grand Duke does not object to us getting the mineral mining rights in the Marseille Liumu area, but the distribution issue needs to be discussed again, right?"

"Well, that's probably what it means." Li Huailin said.

"In this way, I'm relieved." Oufuge nodded slightly, mainly because of the issue of mineral mining rights. As long as the human empire is willing to sell it, it means that it can be negotiated, and the rest is the question of the price, which can be discussed slowly, but Oufuge decided to ask Li Huailin first to see what percentage he is going to take, "Then May I ask Grand Duke, what ratio do you think our two countries can achieve this intention?"

"Oh. I think about 30% of the pig iron we produce every year is probably enough." Li Huailin said casually.

"Pfft..." "Puff..." "Pfft..." The three people on the opposite side, including Edwin, sprayed at the same time, and then looked at Li Huailin in astonishment, 30%? My ears heard me right.

"Grand Duke, you said 30%?" Oufuge asked.

"Yes. Is there any problem?" Li Huailin asked.

"Grand Duke, even if the dwarves invest in mining in our territory, the business tax we collect is not 30%, not to mention it is still in a disputed territory." Edwin said, what are you doing with the 30%? People pay you 30% of what they produce with money and effort. Do you think dwarves are idiots? Edwin here couldn't stand it any longer.

"First, they come to invest in mining for economic benefit, and they only take money, while pig iron is a strategic reserve, which has a different nature." Li Huailin said, "Second, I don't understand business at all, so don't talk to me about this issue. You should talk to Anthony directly, anyway, if you ask me, I will say 30%, love to fuck or not, as for Anthony, you can ask yourself."

"Heh...hehe..." Oufuge here laughed dryly, "As long as the Grand Duke does not object to the mineral mining rights in the Marseille Liumu area, as for the distribution ratio, we will seriously discuss it with His Royal Highness. I will also refer to the opinion of the Grand Duke..."

Oufuge didn't dare to talk with Li Huailin anymore, because Li Huailin opened his mouth, which was too big, and he could say a price that they couldn't accept. It seems that Grand Duke Aquitaine really doesn't like it Knowing the commercial issue, let's discuss it slowly with the officials of the Human Empire, as long as Li Huailin does not object to the mining rights.

The two sides said a few more words, and Li Huailin turned his attention to this goblin businessman named Internet. Oufuge is here to talk about the issue of the Marseille Liumu area, so this Internet should have nothing to do with this matter, why is he here?

"President Inte, you haven't spoken all this time, are you just here to see what I look like?" Li Huailin asked with a smile.

"Oh, of course not, it's just that the Grand Duke hasn't talked to me, and I dare not take the initiative to say it." Inte said immediately.

"Then President Inte, what are you doing here?" Li Huailin asked.

"Uh... In fact, Grand Duke, I came to discuss business issues with you, but you just said that you don't know much about business, so I don't know how to speak." Inte said a little depressed.

"I really don't understand much, so you'd better keep it simple." Li Huailin said.

"Well, of course, Grand Duke, but I may have some questions that are more personal..." Inte said.

"Private?" Li Huailin hadn't reacted yet, but Oufuge over here reacted very quickly, and immediately said: "Oh, Grand Duke, it's getting late, I have to go back to prepare for tomorrow's state affairs, or I will Say goodbye first."

"Oh." Li Huailin will now understand that Yinte here has something to tell him, but he doesn't want to say it in front of others, so he said something private, and Oufuge here is also very sensible and ready to leave. It seems that he is really good at being a man, and he is worthy of being a diplomat. "Then I wish you a smooth meeting tomorrow."

"Thank you, sir." Oufuge said, then got up and saluted Li Huailin, and then left.

"Is the 30% distribution rate that the Grand Duke said true or was it a joke to scare him?" Edwin asked immediately after Oufuge left.

"Of course it's true, why should I play him?" Li Huailin said.

"I thought the Grand Duke was opposed to the processing of the mining rights, and especially used a relatively high distribution rate to scare the other party away." Edwin said, "To be honest, a 30% ratio is impossible for the dwarves to accept. I think the other party's The bottom line is around 5%-6%.”

"Let's leave this issue to the ministers to discuss. Anyway, if the other party is ignorant, it doesn't matter if I send troops to fight." Li Huailin said.

"My lord, please don't say that. Peace between the two countries is very important. We have had a good relationship with the Dwarf Kingdom for a hundred years, and there has never been a large-scale war. It is very unwise to start a war over this matter now." Edwin said immediately.

"It also makes sense." Li Huailin nodded.

"So, I probably understand the Grand Duke's opinion. The Grand Duke will also participate in tomorrow's court meeting." Edwin said.

"Not necessarily, I'm not sure." Li Huailin said, "It's just a matter of economic disputes. You don't need me to participate. Call me when the war really starts."

"Hehe..." Edwin laughed dryly, "Since that's the case, it's time for me to leave. Thank you again, sir. If you need anything, please tell me."

"Yeah." Li Huailin nodded. Soon Edwin here also left, leaving only an Internet who didn't know why he was looking for him.

"What's the matter?" Li Huailin asked now that there were only his own people left in the room, "It's still the same sentence, to put it simply."

"Yes, Lord Duke." Inter said here, "As I just introduced, I run a chamber of commerce, and now the main place of activity is within the territory of the Dwarf Empire. The size of the chamber of commerce is relatively large."

"My lord, I've heard of the Serot Chamber of Commerce. It is said that it is one of the largest chambers of commerce in the Dwarf Empire." Reg whispered in Li Huailin's ear.

"Oh?" Li Huailin nodded gently, "Then why are you looking for me?"

"Simply put, I hope I can take refuge in you, my lord." Inte here really said very simply.

"Take refuge, aren't you the Chamber of Commerce of the Dwarf Empire? What's the use of taking refuge in me, I can't control the dwarves." Li Huailin said.

"Naturally, I want to develop on the human side." Inte said, "Although the dwarf empire is also very large, it is far inferior to the human empire in terms of land area and population. As a businessman , that is naturally leaning towards a good place."

"Do you want to develop in the human empire, or just focus on this side?" Li Huailin asked.

"This is not sure yet. It mainly depends on your opinion, sir. If you disagree, I really can't develop here." Inte said.

"Oh? So, what are you willing to give me?" Li Huailin asked.

"My lord, I have some connections in the Dwarf Empire. There are many specialties of the dwarves. As long as you give an order, I can usually get them." Inte said with a deep expression on his face.

"For example... military artillery?" Li Huailin asked suddenly.

"What?" Reg and the others here were shocked.

"This...is just a trivial matter." Inte said with a smile.
