Vol 6 Chapter 48: Investment takes risks

More than a hundred large cargo magic locomotives crossed the borders of the Kingdom of Lampari and the Kingdom of Ruhr, and swiftly traveled towards the eastern part of the Kingdom of Rulson. ¥f
This is the first time that so many large-scale cargo magic locomotives have been together since the New Flying Chamber of Commerce invented the large-scale freight magic locomotive.
More than 100 large-scale cargo magic locomotives are linked together to form an ultra-long fleet of more than two kilometers on the road, which looks extremely spectacular.
If you look down from the sky, it is like a long snake that squirms at high speed on the ground.
This convoy is a joint convoy of major chambers of commerce in the Kingdom of Lampari. This time it entered the Kingdom of Rulson in large numbers and the destination is directly pointing to the eastern part of the Kingdom of Rulson.
The items loaded on these large cargo magic locomotives are all kinds of strategic materials ordered by the Kingdom of Rulson to the Kingdom of Lampari. Now they are delivered to the King of Rulson who is fighting the Third Army of the Candela Empire Provide a variety of supplies.
Although the performance of King Rulson on the battlefield shocked everyone, no matter how good the military performance, the decision to win a war is still a logistical supply.
In particular, the ruling king , which is now equipped with a large number of military magic machines, has a higher demand for replenishment.
Nothing else, just in the first battle between the two sides, the King of Nelson used a lot of magical flail, and consumed as many as 130,000 arrows in just one day.
Although the lethality is amazing, but want to add all these 130,000 arrows, it is obviously impossible to complete the blacksmith shop recruited by the Royal Nelson Department.
Moreover, the steel arrows used in these magical flails must be fully compliant with the standards set by the new Flying Chamber of Commerce to be properly filled. Let the traditional blacksmiths create the words. Not to mention that the speed is too slow. It's just that all kinds of standards can't be matched. After all, it's hard to make the same precision for tens of thousands of times like a machine.
For example, now there are two arrows that are held in the hands of King Truz at the same time, but he carefully looks at the arrows held by the two hands, touches them for a while, then folds them hard, and finally laughs. Shake his head.
The two arrows look exactly the same, but when you put them on your hand, you can clearly feel that the one held in your right hand is lighter. Moreover, from the hand, the arrow on the left hand is extremely smooth and round, while the arrow on the right hand is very rough. There are even some pits on the surface that can be easily seen.
The most important thing is that if you put the two arrows straight in front of you, you will find that the arrow on the left hand is unusually straight, and the right hand is obviously curved.
Although these differences are not particularly obvious to the naked eye, it is clear from the heart of King Truz, who was particularly keen on riding a horse. If you use the archery test in the same environment, it would be better to use the arrow on the left hand. Much more.
As for why there are these differences...
This arrow in the left hand of King Truz at this time. This is the magical standard arrow that the Kingdom of Rulson ordered from the Spirit Fox Chamber of Commerce on the Black Rice Wasteland.
This Linghu Chamber of Commerce is nominally a fox-like orc tribe on the Black Rice Wasteland, but the King of Truz is very clear. It is clearly behind the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
The arrow in his right hand was created by the blacksmith who was urgently recruited in the country because of the outbreak of the war. Then there was a clear gap in quality.
But the reason why King Truz was forced to abandon the use of domestic blacksmiths to complete the supply of arrows was not only the speed of casting arrows, but also the difference in quality. The more important reason was cost.
From the Linghu Chamber of Commerce to order the magic of the standard 弩 arrow, a total of 20 pieces of total price of 20 silver coins, and because of the large number of orders from the Kingdom of Rulson, the Linghu Chamber of Commerce gave some discounts, and finally set a barrel of 19 silver coins.
If you convert it, the price of a broken arrow is less than one silver coin.
With the blacksmith's creation, even if the blacksmith's labor costs are not calculated at all, the average cost price of a smashing arrow will exceed two silver coins.
If one, two, or one hundred or two hundred, the difference is indifferent, but in the state of war, the arrow that is consumed in one day is more than 100,000. If all the arrows created by the blacksmith are used, it is only on this. The cost will vary by a thousand gold coins, and the gap can't be ignored.
To sum up the above reasons, even if King Truz does not want the Rolson King's supply to be controlled by outsiders, he has to accept this fact.
Thinking of this, King Truz shook his head and threw the two arrows in his hand. The probe looked through the window of the magic airship and looked at the large cargo magic locomotive fleet that was running fast on the ground. Then he turned and looked to the side. Xu Yi.
"Mr. Xu, when will the magic rocket be shipped?"
Xu also smiled slightly: "Please rest assured. The magic rocket is loading. If nothing unexpected, the first two thousand pieces should be shipped after three days."
"After three days?" King Truz glanced at the east and slowly nodded. "That's fine. The Candela empire should still take a few days to prepare, not to be so anxious to fight again."
"If they still can't learn to be cautious after the previous failure, the Candela empire is really disappointing to me." Xu also laughed.
"Are they stupid, isn't it better?" King Truz took a sip of tea and paused: "This makes it easier for us to win this war, and then the military magic machinery of your new Flying Chamber of Commerce will be able to pass." The war has shined, and both of us can get the most satisfactory results."
Xu also spread his hand and shrugged his shoulders: "I am worried that if they are stupid enough to recognize the situation, we will be troublesome in the future to promote in the Candela empire."
"You worry too much." King Truz shook his head and pointed to the east. "Now the eyes of the entire continent have been concentrated on the battlefield. The role of military magic machinery in it has already been seen by everyone. I am sure. Wait until the end of the war... Oh no It should be said that before the end, there will be countless people who will buy military magic machinery from your chamber of commerce. President Xu, how are you going to deal with it?"
"If I say that I will give priority to the Candela empire, will you write down?"
King Truz silently smiled and shook his head: "Mr. Xu, this joke is not funny. If you choose this, our Kingdom of Rulson is now afraid that it has been completely conquered by the Candela Empire."
Xu Yi haha ​​smiled and waved his hand: "Well, don't say these meaningless nonsense. His Majesty. What advice do you have for the gear processing factory we have established together?"
King Truz thought for a moment: "The location of this gear processing factory is best appointed by us. In addition, your new flying company will not have any nominal involvement with it. Simply put, this gear processing factory, It is completely independent of our Kingdom of Rulson."
Xu also seems to have some accidents. After a moment of indulgence, he frowned slightly: "His Majesty, this is different from what we discussed before. If our Chamber of Commerce does not have any nominal connection with this gear processing factory, then if we want to Continue to deepen the investment on the basis of this factory, it will be a lot more troublesome. Is this bad for both of us?"
"No, Xu Huichang. This will indeed have a lot of trouble for our Kingdom of Rulson, but for your new Flying Chamber of Commerce, it will be a lot less trouble, isn't it?" King Truz once again pointed to the East. "I actually understand the concerns of your Chamber of Commerce to support our Kingdom of Rulson, so before the situation is clear, I think it is better for your Chamber of Commerce not to have such a clear connection with us."
Xu Yi was really surprised. He watched King Trutz for a while and slowly shook his head.
"No, His Majesty. You know, when you first negotiated this matter in the Chamber of Commerce, most of the people in the Chamber of Commerce are thinking the same as you. I don't want to be too obvious to the Chamber of Commerce of your country." Support, but I was vetoed. Do you know why?"
King Truz narrowed his eyes and looked at Xu Yi: "Why? From any point of view, our Kingdom of Rulson could not have rivaled the Candela Empire. Even if it was me, it did not exist before the first battle. Too much confidence. Why did you have confidence in us?"
"I am not confident in your Kingdom of Rulson, but confidence in our Chamber of Commerce." Xu also smiled. "Or another angle, from the merchant's point of view, that is, investing in your Kingdom of Rulson is much more profitable than investing in the Candela Empire. If we support the Candela Empire, we should be able to easily defeat the Kingdom of Rulson. But this does not allow our Chamber of Commerce to receive the special attention of the Candela Empire. And once the Kingdom of Rulson is destroyed, the Principality of Constantine will face the Candela Empire, which is not what I hope to see."
King Truz silenced for a moment and slowly nodded: "I understand what you mean, but Xu will be long, do your business meeting... or I should say that the risk you take is much greater, is it really worth it?"
Xu also shrugged: "A businessman who does not want to take risks is not a good businessman."
"But Xu Hui, are you sure that everyone at your Chamber of Commerce is willing to take this risk with you?"
Xu also pointed to his feet: "I think... The following is enough to explain everything."
King Truz turned his head and glanced through the window to look at the fleet that had gradually gone, and nodded lightly.
"If you are still uneasy about your sincerity, then this thing will definitely make you more confident in us."
Xu also smiled and handed a rectangular box to King Truz.
King Truz's eyes narrowed and he took the box without hesitation.
When you open the box and look at it, you will find a metal-made mold in addition to a drawing in the box.
King Truz picked up the magical smashing arrow that he had just put down and put it in. The arrow immediately fits perfectly with the inner wall of the mold, no more than one point, a lot. (To be continued, please search for astronomical literature, the novel is better updated faster!
