Nuclear Warlord

Chapter 269 Negotiations
Li Changfeng smiled calmly.

"that's it?"

"Isn't it enough?"

Shangguan Yunfei was astonished.

The reason why he chose to meet Li Changfeng at this time was because Li Changfeng encountered difficulties in this area and felt that he had a bargaining chip.

As a result, Li Changfeng's performance surprised him.

Li Changfeng took a sip of tea lightly, and said in a calm manner: "Let's talk about iron ore first, there is indeed a problem with the emperor, but it can be easily solved. It is nothing more than a delay in the construction period. Big picture."

"Furthermore, there is indeed a shortage of craftsmen, but this is temporary. We have stepped up our efforts to train them, and we have hired many at high prices, so the issue of time is no longer a problem."

"As for the steelworks, I really don't have an advantage in quantity, but we can solve the problem when the money is in place, just build a few more. To be honest, the so-called advantages of your Shangguan family are not very attractive to this prince."

In fact, Li Changfeng was very anxious, and the construction period was very important to him.

But the more at this time, the less you can appear impatient, otherwise you will be manipulated and lose the opportunity in the negotiation.

Shangguan Feiyun is not so easy to fool, he laughed and said: "According to what I have learned, it will take at least a month for your Highness to restore production capacity, and it is impossible for craftsmen to become proficient in such a short period of time. I am afraid it will be difficult to stabilize in the future." Output meets demand."

"Besides, this is a long-term project with a huge investment. It must be paid back in a short time, otherwise it will put a huge pressure on Daqian's finances. Your Majesty will urge you, right?"

It has to be said that Shangguan Feiyun hit the point.

This will indeed put a huge pressure on Daqian's finances. Although Emperor Qianwu has not urged it now, it does not mean that he will not be urged in the future. Stable output of qualified rails is also a big problem.

However, it is impossible to use this to pinpoint Li Changfeng.

He said calmly: "The construction of the railway requires surveying the terrain and planning the route. There is a lot of preparation work in the early stage. A delay of one month will not have any impact. The construction has just started, and the efficiency must be very slow. It requires a familiar process, and this transition time is just right It can teach craftsmen to be proficient, so what you said is not a problem."

Having said that, Li Changfeng smiled.

"As for the father's urging, do you think this prince needs to worry?"

Shangguan Feiyun was at a loss for words.

After thinking about it carefully, it doesn't seem to make sense.

With Li Changfeng's popularity, even if Emperor Qianwu urged him again, so what?

From this point of view, the advantages of the Shangguan family are indeed not worth mentioning in front of Li Changfeng.

Li Changfeng really didn't need to cooperate with the Shangguan family.

Realizing this, Shangguan Yunfei's expression turned serious.

If the cooperation with Li Changfeng is not reached, the decline of the Shangguan family is inevitable as time goes by.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Li Changfeng offered an olive branch.

"However... it's not impossible to cooperate, after all, it's impossible for this prince to earn all the money in the world, right?"

Shangguan Yunfei suddenly became interested.

"How to cooperate?"

"My prince can give you the production of the rails, and then purchase the rails you produce at the market price. I have the final say on the price. Of course, I will definitely give you a certain profit margin. You can rest assured about this."

"You have the final say on the price? I'm afraid this is a bit inappropriate?" Shangguan Yunfei said with a dry laugh.

The seller has always set the price, how can the buyer set the price?

This is totally against the rules of doing business.

Li Changfeng smiled and said, "I don't know if old Prime Minister Feng Quji has told you about my prince's plan?"

Shangguan Yunfei nodded heavily: "Tell me, it's simply magnificent, I admire it very much."

"Then you will know that the amount of usage is so large that I don't need much profit margin, right?"

"This one……"

Shangguan Yunfei fell into deep thought.

According to the plan, it is indeed a very profitable business.

Li Changfeng added fuel to the fire: "If you are asked to produce rails, you must transfer the relevant smelting technology to you. How else would you produce them?"

Shangguan Yunfei's eyes lit up immediately.

"real?!"

Although Li Changfeng was a latecomer, his iron-making technology was outstanding, leaving the Shangguan family far behind, which they could tell from the bicycles produced by Li Changfeng.

This is exactly the reason why their family wanted to reach a cooperation with Li Changfeng.

Regarding technology transfer, Li Changfeng made a deliberate decision last night.

To manufacture nuclear weapons, more advanced special materials are needed, and we should focus on the research and development and production of these materials. He has an inherent advantage in this regard with a theoretical basis.

Transferring the relatively low-level technology of manufacturing rails is beneficial to him and has no harm, and this technical barrier can actually be slowly analyzed by buying the craftsmen in his steel factory.

So it's better to take the opportunity to sell it, and at the same time make a lot of money, and at the same time, bring Shangguan's family into his community of interests.

Li Changfeng smiled slightly: "Of course, this is a big project. How can this prince bear it all by himself? Besides, it's easier to travel if you have more friends?"

Shangguan Yunfei nodded: "What Your Highness said is very true...but I'm afraid the transfer of technology will cost you a lot of money, right?"

Li Changfeng raised five fingers: "500 million taels."

Shangguan Yunfei was stunned for a moment, then he stood up from his chair and exclaimed, "Your Highness, are you joking?"

"I'm not joking. When it comes to iron-making technology, who dares to say that my prince is the first? The explosives that can blow up even mountains can't blow up the body of my prince's artillery. Do you think this technology is not worth so much money? "

"I know this, but the price your Highness asked is too outrageous!"

"No, it's not outrageous at all. With my prince's smelting technology, don't you just produce rails? All kinds of tools, swords, guns, swords and halberds can be produced. Excellent quality will allow you to get a bigger market. The profits here Didn't you think about it?"

Shangguan Yunfei was stunned.

He was taken aback by the figure of 500 million taels just now, and he really didn't take this into consideration. Technological progress can indeed bring more lucrative profits to their family.

However, the treacherous and cunning Shangguan Yunfei did not express his opinion immediately.

He tentatively said: "Your Highness is right, so why don't you do these businesses?"

Li Changfeng said lightly: "My prince said that I can't make all the money in the world. It's better to cut people's money and make enemies everywhere than to cooperate and win-win. The most important thing is that my prince cares about core technologies such as steam trains. To be honest, the technology of steelmaking is a bit low-end in my prince's opinion."

Shangguan Yunfei laughed dryly and didn't speak, his expression was a little unnatural.

Although he felt uncomfortable, Li Changfeng was indeed qualified to say that.

Having said all that should be said, Li Changfeng stood up.

"Think about it, if you don't want to, the prince will do it himself."
