Chapter 287 Bargaining
Chishan Iron Mine is not a large iron mine. The total amount of iron ore mined each year before was about 3
This number seems to be very large at first glance, but if you convert the unit, it is only 1,800 tons.
According to the highest iron output ratio, so much iron ore can only produce 720 tons of wrought iron.
Such an output is too little for Ronin to use himself, so he will not easily share it with others.
To put it another way, this is not that he has a problem with Wiggins.
If the other party really helped in obtaining Chishan Town, then he would be willing to make concessions.
But in fact, as Ronin said, Wiggins did not provide any help in this matter.
Dian Anni breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, the situation did not continue to be awkward.
He paused, as if he had thought of a number: "With my best ability, I can only give you 1,500 gold coins per year."
"Hahaha, well done Roning!"
"How much? 6,000? 5,000?"
Imagine, if Roning is in urgent need of iron ore, Wiggins suddenly said that he had negotiated a deal and urgently needed to take out 100,000 kilograms of iron ore, what should Roning do at this time?
So, it is better to use money from beginning to end.
Wiggins couldn't help but question: "You said I didn't provide any help, but you seem to have forgotten that I provided the logistics of the Wubei Knights."
In addition, if it is reported that Roning and Wiggins have a bad relationship, it will not be a good thing for the Wushan family.
"Wiggins, you should change your temper."
Wiggins had to admit that even if he was angry in the future, he could only move his mouth, and forget about taking action.
Luo Ning looked distressed: "And I will have to rebuild the sales channels and recruit various talents in the future, which will cost a lot of gold coins! If you still ignore my difficulties, then I can only give you another 300, 1,800 per year!"
The atmosphere of the discussion changed from the previous tense to the current bargaining.
Looking at Luo Ning's back, Wiggins couldn't help complaining: "This guy, since he is going to pay, why didn't he just say it directly, causing me to break this good chair!"
Wiggins said: "If there is really no one, count all the criminals in prison. They have the ability to commit crimes and they have the ability to mine. Pull them all out and send them to the mines to work!"
"I know!"
Wiggins seemed to be angry and laughed, "You don't give me the share of the iron mine in Chishan Town, and you want to ask me for people. Luo Ning, do you think I'm easy to talk to? Or do you think I'm a fool?"
This unpleasant meeting finally ended in a pleasant atmosphere.
Seeing that the two seemed to be arguing again, Dai Anni seemed to have something to say.
As for why Roning was willing to pay, it was naturally because he didn't want to have a bad relationship with Wiggins.
No matter how unpopular the other party was, he was the future heir to the Marquisate, and now he could inquire about the affairs of Wushan Territory. Roning would have to deal with many things in the future, and he would probably have to deal with him.
In the previous cooperation between Wiggins and Corinne and others, he had a 10% share, which was about 2,000 gold coins per year.
In this case, it was impossible for Roning to give up 30% and provide the other party with 6,000 gold coins for free every year.
Wiggins was stunned for a moment. He thought Roning had no intention of letting go of this matter, but he didn't expect that there would be a sudden turn of events.
But if Wiggins had his own channels to sell, he could sell the 360,000 kilograms of iron ore involved in his 10% share by himself. This was his right and freedom.
He also understood the importance of Roning's appearance to the family.
Forget it, anyway, the two of them probably couldn't listen to what he said, so he didn't interrupt.
Ronin's tone slowed down: "Although I said I won't give you a share, I didn't say I won't give you gold coins."
"Father, the Bolant Bandits have killed many people during the period of occupying Chishan Town. Now the population of Chishan Town is dwindling. It is difficult for me to even gather the number of miners before. Production cannot be restored in a short time."
"Father, you are joking. I have never had such an idea."
"Also, he actually used Dou Qi on me just now. He doesn't take me, his father, seriously!"
After dozens of rounds of friendly consultations, the two finally reached a consensus - Ronin gave Wiggins 2050 gold coins every year.
"Then father, the 25,000 people you promised me..."
When Ronin was about to buy iron ore from the other party before, the other party handled it in this way.
The gloom on his face seemed to dissipate a little.
Wiggins was stunned for a moment, as if there was indeed this problem.
Roning shook his head: "You know I don't have much money in my pocket, and Wubei Territory is short of money. It's impossible for me to take out 5,000 gold coins every year at this time."
"Dainni, please help me urge the managers of Wushan City and local manors to speed up the progress and gather 25,000 people for me."
"Of course I remember this matter. I also remember that you promised me that as long as I am willing to go to the front line of Chishan Town on your behalf, you will provide Wubei Territory with 20,000 people for free."
The clouds on Wiggins' face dissipated a little, but he still didn't give in.
"No, no, no, Roning, 1,500 gold coins are too little. Although Wubei Territory needs gold coins for its development, the income from Chishan Iron Mine is huge. It's not a problem for you to give me 4,000 gold coins every year!"
Wiggins waved his hand: "Don't worry about my work. We have already collected 7,000 or 8,000. When the news spreads to the manors and cities below, so many people will be able to gather them soon!"
Now the Chishan Iron Mine belongs to Roning. If Wiggins can sell that share privately as before, it will cause trouble.
But no matter what he said, no matter how he scolded, he was still happy to get such a price in the end.
"Let me solve the problem of people for you. On the basis of the 20,000 promised to you before, I will increase it by 5,000. As for the gold coins, I think it's not easy for you, just give me 3,000."
Daini advised sadly: "Roning is no longer the same as before. Now he is not only your son, but also the Viscount of Wubei Territory, and even a Silver Knight who can give a fatal blow to the Meteor Knight. You should face up to your own status and the gap in strength with the other party."
If the relationship between the father and son is really too stiff, there is still the Marquis to cover it.
He looked at the wood block deeply embedded in the lawn at his feet, and he was still a little unhappy.
But after his eyes moved on the two people, he took back his words.
"Nobles from all over the world will gather here in the next two days. Take a good rest and prepare for the celebration banquet!"
The reason why Roning directly rejected the other party's idea was just to minimize the other party's expectations.
Wiggins smiled and raised his thumbs. He was a guy who showed his emotions easily.
"Oh? Are you willing to pay?"
This price is a little more for Wiggins than before, but it is acceptable to Roning.
Diane frowned: "Criminals don't seem to be easy to manage, right?"
"Don't worry about it. Those criminals are basically ordinary people. With Roning's strength, is he afraid of not being able to manage them?"
Wiggins didn't care about it: "What's more, he has a team of knights under him!" (End of this chapter)
