Chapter 233: Is **** in my head?

In the courtyard, the sun was spread on the green lawn and the round table in the shade. The attendants had set hot tea and pastries, sitting on the chairs, drinking the hot tea leisurely and admiring the sparkling not far away. Lakes, this kind of life makes many people envy, but how do they know that those who can really have these, but have no freedom to appreciate the scenery?
"Awaited."
Frank interrupted Down's thoughts and sat down beside him.
It was the first time that Tang En met Frank. He was wearing very plain clothes. He could not see that he was a high-ranking duke. However, he took a closer look and found that it looked very plain. Simple clothes are actually not simple.
The fabric is a special velvet imported from the Rennes Empire, which is refreshing and breathable. It is very expensive due to the small amount of production, and then carefully sewn by manual craftsmen. This dress is afraid of tens of thousands of gold coins.
Frank held up a teacup and took a sip, watching the lake and said, "Baron Tang, it is said that Ellington has been developing very well recently, and the Datang Chamber of Commerce has been vigorously making money, why do you come to me to waste time? What about? "
Tang En raised an eyebrow: "Wasting time? If you still have this attitude, I don't think we need to continue talking."
It ’s clear what's going on, and pretend to be stupid, is it interesting?
Frank tapped on the table lightly, and there was a fire in his heart. Even if he was nourished, he had never encountered a person like Tang En who did not play cards according to common sense for many years. This was the last time. Still like this ...
However, he is a master wild master.
Frank also wanted to win him.
"Baron Down, I think there may be some misunderstandings between us."
"No misunderstandings, only transactions."
Tang En ignored Frank's almost thought: "I have no time to talk to you, let's talk directly, you send someone to assassinate me, how do you want to solve this?
Frank frowned, and actually spoke directly? Does he want to negotiate anyway?
Tang En patted the table and said casually: "Actually, if I didn't want to follow the rules of the game with you, I have solved it now."
Frank didn't quite understand what Dunn meant.
But he didn't ask, but thought about it and said, "This is a misunderstanding, but Baron Down, our Kadir family will be happy to solve this misunderstanding with you ..."
"I repeat, this is not a misunderstanding. It is true that your son is going to assassinate me."
Frank's expression was a little stiff. Is this guy a fool? I don't even know how to intentionally downplay hatred! ?
"Want me to put this down, okay, and show sincerity, you know what I mean."
It seems that there is no way to get around.
Frank took a deep breath. "Well, what do you want?"
In the negotiations, whoever reveals his hole card first loses. Frank wants to know what exactly Tang En wants.
"readily!"
Down finally smiled: "I want Winchester."
Frank laughed angrily: "Baron Don, this joke is not funny at all!"
The Winchester Mine Fortress, or more precisely, the Winchester Fine Gold Mine, is a pure gold vein belonging to the Cardill family. The Cartier family has only excavated some of the reserves for nearly a century. It is expected that this vein will be the largest Adamantite vein discovered in the history of the Illus Empire, and its value is inestimable!
It can be said that the pure gold produced by Winchester only accounts for 30% of the total profit of the sale of Kadir minerals!
Tang En was about to dig out the hearts of the Cardill family, didn't this kill them?
Downe grinned: "Duke Frank, do you think a Winchester is important, or is it the Cadier family?"
"After leaving the Cardill family, Winchester is still Winchester, but without Winchester, the Cardill family may not be the same."
Frank squinted and said indifferently, "So Baron Don, you still don't want the lion to open your mouth, be careful, you're too greedy, you can't eat it to death."
The secret words calling for the guard almost blurted out a few times. If it wasn't for Tang En might be a master-level magician, Frank would want to turn his face now.
"It's my job to eat or not to eat, so I don't bother you."
Looking at Don's casual expression, Frank was in a very bad mood, and he really wanted to kill him ...
"It's impossible, Baron Down, to change the conditions, you should know that just those assassins can't prove anything. The value of this information is not worth the price."
"So ..."
Tang En smashed his mouth: "Then I can barely accept the magic iron ore west of Preston."
Preston is located in the southeast of Ladia hills. The distance from Ellington is almost the same as that of Bein. To the west of Preston is a medium-sized magic iron mine owned by the Cardill family. Adamantite cannot be compared, but it is equally valuable.
"Oh!"
Frank placed the tea cup heavily on the round table, staring at Tang En and said lightly, "Baron Tang, you seem to have been eyeing our magic metal mines of the Kadir family long ago ..."
"Ha, the entire Illus Empire, who does n’t know that your Kadir family and the Spad family have jointly occupied 90% of the magic metal mines in the entire Empire. Among them, the Spad family is even more exaggerated, occupying more than 60% alone. . "
Tang En grinned, "But I haven't dealt with the Spade family, nor have they assassinated me. I want to own a magic metal mine, so I can only look for you."
Frank said coldly, "Do you think our Kadir family is good at it?"
"No."
Frank looked slightly slower.
"It's pretty easy to handle."
Frank's face froze, and he shot at the crime, furious: "Don! Believe me or not, I'll leave you here today !?"
"Oh."
Tang En casually said: "Remember to tell the cook I don't like Yalik's rice."
"What do you mean !?"
"Aren't you leaving me for dinner? Since you're so enthusiastic, I won't quit."
Frank almost vomited blood: "What the Duke meant-to keep your life here!"
"Oh! That's it!"
Tang En clapped his hands: "I just want to fight? Let's talk early! Don't hurry, wait for me to say Aubrey and Adrien, they must be panicking leisurely."
Frank froze there. Was the in his head?
He felt that his thinking and that of Tang En were two parallel lines without any possibility of intersection!
"Wait!"
Frank called Down, and took a deep breath: "Come on, you don't have to think about magic metal mines! It's absolutely impossible!"
The Spade family occupies 60% of the magic metal mines. The Kadir family originally had few magic metal mines. How could it be transferred to Tang because of this?
The value of magic metal ore is very high. On the one hand, it is an expensive war preparation material because of the superior performance of magic metal. On the other hand, it is because of the total reserves of magic metal ore that have been explored throughout Prandall. Very few, so the value is inherently high.
Tang En frowned: "Why are you Kadir family so embarrassed ..."
Is this a problem?
Frank almost growled.
Does he not see the strategic significance of Magic Metal?
Still pretending?
"Well, in that case, just give me a few magic crystal mines."
Tang En looked very dissatisfied: "You have few Kadir families in the Magic Metal Mine, but you have a lot of Magic Crystal Mine? If you talk to me again, I will doubt your sincerity in negotiation."
Tang En didn't even play the idea of ​​magic metal mines, because the emergence of universal alloys has caused Ellington's thirst for magic metals to be less intense, but the magic crystal that is now in excess of supply, which is very important for future energy distribution. importance.
From the beginning, Tang En's goal was a magic crystal mine monopolized by the Kadir family.
The consumption of magic crystal is very small. The consumption on the market is mainly the magic crystal lamp, and the magic devices used by some rich people's homes, and even to maintain the consumption of various magic arrays. This consumption each year is not enough to produce the magic crystal mine. One-tenth of it.
Almost all of Prandall's remaining 90% of the magic crystals poured into the Silver City for those magicians, but there was the biggest problem here.
The growth rate of the number of Silver City magicians is very stable, and the consumption of magic crystals has basically remained a constant number, so the price of magic crystals is also very stable. However, the consumption power of silver cities for magic crystals is far less than each The capacity of the country to produce has led to a large supply over demand.
Once Silver City stopped importing magic crystals, a large number of magic crystals would be unsaleable, even if the price was reduced.
Therefore, although the potential value of the magic crystal mine is high, the Kadir family still has a headache for the problem of the magic crystal mine. The profit produced by so many magic crystal mines is not as good as the profit of a magic metal mine. By the time of the annual report, Frank would be jealous of Mandel Spade, and he must be making a lot of money.
But jealousy is useless, because this is the result of the distribution of the interests of several major families after the war ...
At that time, the patriarch of the Cadier family, where would he think that Gene would use his own prestige to integrate all the mages to create a silver city? It is precisely because of this that the development of magical civilization outside the country has stagnated, and the value of magic crystal has been greatly reduced.
Limited by the inequality of vision and information, Frank did not know what a huge treasure his family was sitting on. After hearing Down's request, he finally did not reject it, but considered it seriously. Weighed the benefits and losses ...
"can."
In the end, Frank nodded: "However, mines cannot be given in vain. Although magic crystal mines are not as valuable as magic metal mines, they are mines anyway, so buy them with money!"
