Rising Darkness

Chapter 13 Benefits
Here, Xiao Yue is teasing Xiao Yu happily, but her mind has been paying attention to Zhao Peng, Xiao Zhan and the others, pricking up her tender ears to listen to the conversation between them uninterruptedly, after all, it is also related to her own Benefit.Zhao Peng's arrival, Xiao Yue and the senior management had already expected it, and they were even more aware of his intentions.Previously, Xiao Yue proposed to hoard a large number of Thunderbolts, and did not sell them in large quantities at one time, just to wait for this moment!

"Cough!" After Xiao Yue stepped back, Mr. Zhao chatted with Xiao Zhan again, then coughed lightly, stood up and cupped his hands towards Xiao Zhan, and said with a smile, "Patriarch Xiao, this time you are here The family is mainly to discuss matters!"

"Hehe, Mr. Zhao, please let me know if you have anything to do. If you can do what you can, the Xiao family will never refuse." Xiao Zhan did not dare to neglect the owner of the Mittel Auction House. He quickly stood up and said politely. The intention of coming here is well known, but the superficial kung fu is still in place.

"Then let's open the skylight and tell the truth. Our Mittel Auction House is very interested in the Thunderbolt made by your family. I wonder if Patriarch Xiao can transfer its manufacturing method to our auction house?" Zhao Peng With a slight smile, he expressed his intention.

As soon as these words fell, some senior members of the family and young children in the hall were in a commotion. No one was a fool. Naturally, they understood that the interests of the family would be damaged after the manufacturing method was transferred out!

But in comparison, the three elders seemed calm and indifferent, Xiao Yue who was watching from the corner secretly praised the old fox!
"Ahem... this, it doesn't seem very good, after all, everyone is not stupid... cough... Doing this is undoubtedly not in the interests of our Xiao family, I hope you understand..." Hearing this, Xiao Zhan coughed lightly, looking a little embarrassed Shaking his head, he refused without hesitation.

Zhao Peng smiled lightly, not surprised that the other party would refuse. They didn't hold out too much hope when they first made this kind of request. It's just a chance, and it's not a pity to be rejected.

Shaking his head lightly, Zhao Peng then opened his mouth to say the real bottom line: "It's a shame. Although it is impossible to give the manufacturing method to our auction house, it is not impossible for us to cooperate for a win-win situation! Our Mittel Auction House Hill can Acting as an agent for the sale of Zhentianlei made by your family in other cities of the empire, Patriarch Xiao must also be aware of the channel advantages of my Mittel family, and this is precisely the shortcoming of your family, so why can't everyone work together to make a lot of money? ? I think patriarch Xiao may not be able to think of this level with his wisdom!"

"Haha...! Mr. Zhao said it well, indeed... our Xiao family has goods, and your auction house has connections. This is a good cooperation! But... I don't know how much the agency fee will be raised by your auction house? You must know that you are only a middleman Resell it for us, except for a little travel expenses, the goods are delivered by us, if you mention too much...it seems not very kind!"

Xiao Zhan first laughed out loud in agreement, then pretended to be embarrassed, and said a bit embarrassedly.This performance made Xiao Yue who was below him couldn't help giving him a thumbs up quietly!

The corners of Zhao Peng's mouth twitched, and his eyes swept over the other three elders of the Xiao family, and saw that they were completely indifferent and silent, and only Xiao Zhan followed suit.He already understood that the Xiao family might have expected his arrival today, even premeditated!

In fact, if it hadn't been impossible, he wouldn't have bothered to come to the door and humbly beg for cooperation. When he first saw the violence generated by Zhentianlei, their Mittel family had already started to reverse the research and development.It's a pity that little progress has been made. Apart from killing a few people due to improper disassembly at the beginning, they found that the structure of the projectile body was extremely simple after dismantling it. The core gunpowder also found that these components were not valuable, but Its composition ratio is extremely complex and difficult to distinguish.

And this is to blame Xiao Yue, a black-hearted guy. In the beginning, in order to prevent the family from taking advantage of it, and even more afraid of being quickly researched by others to reveal the composition ratio of gunpowder, he added a lot of other useless things to it very disgustingly, but it did not affect the composition of gunpowder. The gunpowder power thing goes down.This makes it very difficult for others to study and analyze the original ingredients of these things in a short period of time even if they can distinguish the original components of these things.

But it is not the style of the Miter family to have benefits, but not to take a bite. He sighed secretly in his heart. In Zhao Peng's own opinion, he would be slaughtered no matter what today!But there is no other way, after all, the only one who can create thunder now is the Xiao family!Although he was upset, he didn't dare to force him too much. After all, the life-or-death friendship between Xiao Lin and Marshal Nalan Jie of the Lionheart of the Empire still made the Miter family behind him very concerned!However, he secretly decided in his heart that after returning home, he must arrange for others to find a way to find out the method of making Zhentianlei as soon as possible, otherwise he will be too controlled by others.

"Then...Mr. Zhao, do you still want to cooperate? In fact, you can seriously consider it before deciding. We are not in a hurry, really not in a hurry, haha...!" Seeing Zhao Peng's uncertain face, Xiao Zhan said cheerfully Adding a sentence, the three elders around him also nodded very cooperatively.

Seeing the shameless appearance of the Xiao family and the others, although Zhao Peng was full of slander in his heart, there was a gentle smile on his face, and he said in a slightly stiff tone: "I don't know what Xiao Zhang thinks that given How much is reasonable? If it is too low, our Mittel Auction House will not get much profit, so... it is better not to do it!"

"Haha...Mr. Zhao, please don't worry, you go and ask, who in Wutan City doesn't know that our Xiao family is the most kind, even if you lose money, you will never let your partners suffer! Buy it now, our Xiao family only accepts 180 One gold coin, and the rest are all yours, how about it!" Xiao Zhan straightened his face, and said very proudly, his righteousness almost slapped his chest and swore to death.

Zhao Peng's face turned black, and a mouthful of old blood almost spurted out. He stared fixedly at Xiao Zhan, and said in a deep voice: "Patriarch Xiao! We have cooperated with sincerity, can't you also show your sincerity?" How much is the cost of this thing? Everyone is not a fool. After so long, I have already known it! To put it bluntly, this thing has no value at all except for the manufacturing method! At most, I will pay you one hundred gold coins for each piece. I'm just sorry...huh!"

"Hey...Mr. Zhao! You are really right about one thing, that is, the most valuable manufacturing method is in our hands. At present, no one on this continent can make a thunderbolt except our Xiao family. If you don't It’s fine if you’re satisfied and don’t cooperate. Anyway, your Mittel family’s channels are not the only ones in the empire. At worst, let’s find someone to cooperate with! Don’t tell me shit sincerity, you businessmen will also talk about this? One One hundred gold coins, then you might as well send the beggar directly!" Seeing that the other party cut the price by nearly half, Xiao Zhan also smiled angrily, pointing at the other party and sarcastically sarcastically on the spot.

"Then patriarch Xiao, don't say anything like one hundred and eight gold coins to me, and don't treat us as winners, at least give us a 'reasonable' price!" Zhao Peng was also stubborn, and sneered at Xiao Zhan Pushed back directly.

With the cold words of the two facing each other, the atmosphere in the entire reception hall suddenly cooled down. Except for Xiao Yu who was still confused and the three elders of the old god Youyou, the rest of the people did not even dare to say a word. When the needle fell to the ground, everyone could probably hear it clearly.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhan also felt that the heat should be about the same, and it might be counterproductive if he continued to bake it, and it would be bad if Zhao Peng was pushed into a hurry and finally beaten.

"Well... After all, we have cooperated for so many years, and it hurts our feelings too much! Friendship price, 150 gold coins, can't be less!" Waving to Zhao Peng, Xiao Zhan said with a heartache, no Those who knew thought he was too righteous.

Zhao Peng did not directly refute this time, but pondered for a while, he could barely accept this price, shook his head with a wry smile, and said: "Okay, then 150 gold coins, but Patriarch Xiao, you must Ensure that the supply is sufficient, neither less nor delay! This is the minimum requirement!"

"Haha... It's easy to say, Mr. Zhao, don't worry, I guarantee that you will be satisfied with the reputation of my Xiao family!" At this moment, Xiao Zhan seemed to have changed his face, and his face was bright and hearty. He laughed, just like the bad guy just now. Not like him.

"Yes... yes! Mr. Zhao is happy to cooperate!" The elders no longer pretended to be deep at this time, and also clapped their hands with joy and laughed.

Seeing that Zhao Peng and his men's complexion became darker and darker, the corners of their mouths twitched continuously...

The same scene also stunned the younger generation of the Xiao family below, as if something was broken in their hearts. Today they can see clearly the true face of these elders who are shameless and without limits!

Xiao Yue in the corner smiled like a little fox, making Xiao Yu blink her eyes and look at him suspiciously, completely unable to understand what was wrong with him.

No wonder he was so happy, after all, the completion of this large transaction also meant that his pockets would skyrocket again!I couldn't help but wondered if I should change to a bigger ring, otherwise I wouldn't be able to put so many gold coins in it!In fact, compared to those easy-to-use crystal cards, he prefers to directly hold these cute little yellow ones. This kind of eccentricity also makes Xiao Lin and others slander.

Taking a deep breath, to calm down the urge to run away, Zhao Peng smiled bitterly at Xiao Zhan with a stiff face, "Okay, patriarch Xiao really deserves to be the patriarch, this 'heart cultivation base' is extraordinary. you win!"

"Haha...Mr. Zhao is being polite, let's just stay and have dinner together today!" As if he didn't hear the resentment in the other party's words, Xiao Zhan happily accepted the other party's appreciation and invited with a big smile.

"No! I still have a lot of work to do today, so it's really inconvenient to stay for a long time. Patriarch Xiao will set a delivery date for the first batch of Thunderbolts, and then notify our auction house, and then we can formally sign the contract!" Mr. Zhao shook his head, Rejecting Xiao Zhan's 'kindness', he said his farewell directly.

"Oh...that's a pity! Mr. Zhao, go slowly, welcome to come again when you have time, the door of the Xiao family is open at any time!" Xiao Zhan saw that the other party had decided to go, but he didn't force it. Originally, his invitation was just a polite word.

"Stay here...!" Zhao Peng said, and just about to turn around and leave, he suddenly paused and said to Xiao Zhan hesitantly: "By the way, Patriarch Xiao! By the way, I would like to remind you, it is said that the royal family also treats you Zhen Tianlei very much." Interested, be careful, after all, as the ruler of the empire, I'm afraid I can't talk as well as we do!"

After Zhao Peng's words fell, the whole hall fell silent, and Xiao Zhan's high-level officials also looked a little dignified. If what Zhao Peng said is true, then the situation is really not good!After all, the royal family is different from the Mittel auction house. As the actual rulers of this empire, if they really make such a request, then they really have no room to resist and refuse.

"Thank you Mr. Zhao for reminding, Xiao Zhan will remember it!" Frowning and silent for a while, Xiao Zhan raised his head and cupped his hands at Zhao Peng, thanking him sincerely.

"You're welcome, then I'll take my leave!" Zhao Peng nodded and said nothing more. He also cupped his hands and walked away with his subordinates.

"Patriarch, I want to send Mr. Zhao off!" Xiao Yue, who had been hiding in the corner watching the play silently, suddenly stood up and spoke to Xiao Zhan, with an inexplicable look in her eyes.
