Signing in to Datang: Rebellion at the beginning

Chapter 167 Laughing Like a Fool
The envoys of Che Chiguo are trying their best to suppress the price. Obviously, if they buy too much, if they can be cheaper, they can save a lot of money.

On Longguo's side, the officials of the Iron and Steel Department also refused to budge.

The two sides are arguing here, you come and go, haggling over every detail...

Li Ke listened for a while, and felt that these people were really patient.

However, he didn't have that much patience. Seeing the stalemate for a long time, he simply spoke directly:
"The price set by Longguo remains unchanged. If Che Chiguo wants to buy it, he can buy it. It doesn't matter if he doesn't buy it."

When he, the chief bookkeeper, spoke suddenly, the officials on both sides froze for a moment.

Then Minister Che Chiguo frowned:
"Business is not done this way. If the Dragon Kingdom refuses to give any money, what's the point of talking about it? Therefore, there must be concessions. This is called talking about business!"

If the Minister of Che Chi State said this, if it was another person, he really didn't know how to refute it.

But this is relatively speaking. Obviously, during this period of time, these officials of the Iron and Steel Division have talked a lot about business, and it seems that they have really deepened these things.

However, Li Ke is not a businessman, so he said:

"The envoys of your country should understand that this is not talking about business with you, and the Long Kingdom is not short of this deal.

If you are willing to facilitate this business, for me, Longguo, it is just an increase in income.

And such an income, I, Longguo, don't care.But for you, what this deal will get you is weapons.

How important weapons are to a country, I believe I don't need to say more?

In other words, the countries around you have already bought these steels for making weapons from our Dragon Kingdom.

You have to understand that when they spend a lot of money to buy steel, they will definitely not use it to make other things, but it must be used to make weapons.

What is the purpose of making weapons?It must be war, and the countries around you bought weapons to use in war, but you didn't.

So, I want to ask, has Che Chiguo become a lot easier to bully you?
In this case, if these countries want to attack you, IMHO, you will have no power to resist.

So the business you care about here is just a loss of some money for us, what is the loss for you? "

After saying this, Li Ke leaned back on his chair and leaned back strategically.

On the other hand, the envoys of Che Chi Kingdom all looked at each other in blank dismay.

They didn't expect that this seemingly low-ranking official would lead the problem to this direction.

But I have to admit that Li Ke is right.

If we think about this transaction not only in terms of business, but also in terms of the needs of both parties.

Obviously, it is imminent and necessary for Che Chiguo to obtain this steel.

On the contrary, whether Longguo can sell this batch of steel is insignificant.

So in this business, it is self-evident who should be inferior.

Iron and Steel Secretary glanced at Li Ke appreciatively, then stood up directly, and said to the envoys of Che Chiguo:

"" I think the officials on our side have already made it very clear, so I will take the lead in making a statement.

This steel, if you want to buy it, buy it, if you don't buy it, don't waste any more time.In addition, the price of steel in China's Dragon Kingdom will not decrease. "

After finishing speaking, Iron and Steel Secretary turned around and was about to leave, very decisive.

At this time, the envoys of Che Chi Kingdom finally panicked.

The situation is very clear, and there is no need for them to take risks with the price.

So, the leading envoy hurriedly stood up and said:

"Okay, let's buy your steel at the price of your Dragon Kingdom."

Hearing this, the Iron and Steel Secretary smiled, then sat down reluctantly, and asked:
"So, how much does your country want to buy?"

Che Chiguo's envoy thought for a while, and then said a quantity.

The two parties calculated the price based on this quantity, and then drew up an agreement in person.

After both parties signed and stamped their fingerprints, they waited to pay the money and deliver the goods.

Li Ke took a look at the price of buying steel, and immediately remembered it in his heart.

After the cooperation was reached, both parties showed smiles, but the smiles of the envoys of Che Chi Kingdom were somewhat bitter.

After all, this time, they really spent a lot of money.

But when I think that with these things, I can become tougher in the neighboring countries in the future, and I think it is quite cost-effective.

The next step is to go to the steel factory to deliver the goods the next day.

At this moment, the time has come to release the Yamen

After Li Ke came out of the Yamen of the Iron and Steel Department, he saw Lan Xin'er waiting outside.

Lan Xin'er hurried forward and said to Li Ke:

"Didn't you promise me that you want me to see how steel is forged?"

Li Ke nodded and said:

"Tomorrow, I will be in charge of taking Che Chi's envoys to the steel factory to deliver the goods. I will take you there then!"

Lan Xin'er smiled immediately, and then took Li Ke to the restaurant to have a good meal.

In her opinion, this is probably a bribe!

During the whole process, Li Ke felt it was very funny. In fact, he didn't care too much about leaking the steel forging method to Daughter Country.

After all, he had thought about it before, and he really wanted to see the scene of these women forging iron.

Time passed quickly, the next morning, Li Ke took Lan Xin'er, first went to Iron and Steel Division to pick up the envoys from Che Chi Kingdom, then took the documents to a place outside the imperial capital, where the official Inside the steel plant that was built.

Today's Longguo Iron and Steel Plants are spread all over the country, but the core technology is very strictly managed.

And forging steel can not be learned just by looking at it. What needs to be added, what temperature and heat to use, how to forge, etc., all have rules.

So it's not something you can learn by seeing.

Li Ke has official documents from the Iron and Steel Department.

Straight into the He Steel Plant.

Lan Xin'er, who was with her, was only put in after being interrogated for a while.

Lan Xin'er followed Li Ke, and went directly to the warehouse after entering the steel plant.

The staff in the warehouse checked the books, and after delivering the steel to the envoys of the Che Chi Kingdom, the people of the Che Chi Kingdom left with the steel.

They rushed to transport the steel back to their country, and then forged weapons.

Otherwise, as Li Ke said, if the surrounding countries have weapons made of steel, then Che Chiguo will be in danger.

And if Che Chiguo was the first to possess these weapons, he would be the first to deter the enemy.

After finishing business, Li Ke kept his promise and took Lan Xin'er around the steel factory, showing her how those workers forged steel.

The whole process seems to be very simple, but the actual operation is very complicated.

Lan Xin'er carefully remembered these steps and procedures in her heart.

Since I thought I wrote it all down, I laughed like a fool.

Li Ke also found it funny seeing her like this, thinking, is she so innocent?
The forging and production of this steel, if you think about it with your ass, it will definitely not be as simple as you see, right?

After coming out of the steel factory, Lan Xin'er looked at Li Ke with a strange feeling, as if she was looking at a fool.

As everyone knows, the real fool is himself.
