Rosie giggled: "Mr Dean, I took the liberty to come and disturb you mainly to congratulate you. You have just joined the 'Temple of Elements' and yet you have produced a top-grade four-star invention. It's really admirable. We were misled by Master Celt and thought that your work was a three-star invention. I didn't expect Master Celt to be wrong and underestimate your work."
Dudian smiled: "I don't dare to say that it's amazing. Master Celt didn't look at it in depth. He was able to give a three-star evaluation. I admire his keen eyesight."
Rosie looked at him deeply: "Mr Dean didn't promise me before. It was a wise move. Otherwise I would have felt sorry. Fortunately, it's not too late now. Scott consortium has decided to buy your military crossbow at the price of a four-star quality product. What do you think Mr Dean?"
"Quality product?" Dudian didn't expect her to directly give a higher price: "My work is only top-grade. Your consortium will suffer a loss."
"Businessmen don't make a loss." Rosie smiled in a natural and unrestrained manner: "It's just that the profit is a little less. This is also the sincerity of our Scott consortium. Moreover, we have cooperated with Mr. Dean twice before so we can be considered as old acquaintances. A little more preferential treatment is only right."
Dudian glanced at her. Rosie was easy to make a good impression on people based on the way she spoke. But he wouldn't let go of the fact that the Scott consortium had falsified the accounts. He pondered: "I'll think about it."
Rosie was surprised: "Mr Dean, are you not satisfied with it?"
Dudian shook his head: "I need to discuss this matter with Old Fulin. After all, I was employed by his family as a hunter. His family bailed me out of prison and cleared my name. Although the terms of the hunter contract didn't require that my work belong to the Ryan family, but I have to repay this kindness!"
Rosie knew about Dudian's experience. She was speechless as she didn't know what to say. She quickly thought: "Mr Dean, you should know more about the situation of the Ryan family than us. Even if you sell it to them at a lower price, they won't be able to mass produce it. In the end, they will have to find business partners to cooperate with them. If you sell it to us, then I can promise you that the profits of the crossbow will go to the Ryan family."
Dudian was surprised. He didn't expect the girl to have so much power that she could promise such a big concession on the spot. He pretended to ponder for a moment and said: "Let's talk to old patriarch first so as to avoid being rude."
Rosie didn't expect Dudian to hesitate in the face of such conditions. Her face slightly changed. Her eyes flashed for a moment: "In that case, if Old Fulin agrees, then I ask Mr Dean to consider our Scott consortium first. We can talk about the conditions later. If you need anything else, then you can tell me. I'll go back to the consortium and help you fight for it. You will absolutely be satisfied!"
"Thank you." Dudian thanked her.
Rosie saw that Dudian's face didn't change. She sighed in her heart. She knew that the matter was hanging by a thread. But she didn't admit defeat. After thinking for a moment, she said: "Mr Dean, please pass a word to Old Fulin. If he agrees, then our Scott consortium is willing to form an alliance with the New World consortium!"
Dudian's eyelids twitched. But he soon thought of a point. His heart calmed down. Alliance was certainly the most helpful thing for the New World consortium. But the Scott consortium's approach was to form an alliance with the New World consortium. If it was an unequal alliance, then the significance of the 'alliance' would be greatly reduced.
"I'll pass the message to Old Fulin." Dudian said.
Rosie sighed and suddenly thought of something. She whispered: "By the way, I'll tell Mr Dean the news that I just learned. The market in the pine cone town wasn't founded by the Mellon consortium. It was founded by the Burong family alone. The purpose wasn't to target the New World consortium but to target you. Moreover, they didn't use the economic monopoly of the pine cone market to suppress you. Instead, they used another insidious method to insult Mr Dean's character."
"Insult?" Dudian's eyes moved as he looked at her.
Rosie whispered: "The Burong family will find a rich businessman to help the Ryan family when the pine cone market monopolizes the economy of the nearby towns. They will use the Ryan family to get close to you. Then they will design a series of traps to trap you. As far as I know, you have a past with Miss Jenny of the Burong family. The purpose of Rudolph's action is to discredit you and make his daughter completely give up on you."
Dudian was silent for a moment as he looked at her: "Your Chai family's intelligence network is quite well-informed."
Rosie smiled: "After all, we are enemies of the Mellon consortium. Naturally, we will pay more attention to them. Whether Mr Dean is willing to sell the new item to the Scott consortium or not, I'll pass on the news that they are going to frame you or suppress the New World consortium."
Dudian looked at her. He had to say that this woman had commendable ability as she was sent to discuss business. Even though he had a knot in his heart due to the Scott consortium falsifying the accounts, he couldn't help but be moved by her actions. However, he was no longer a weak child. He would return any kindness with kindness. Not to mention that the other side was trying to fight for the final crossbow. Even if she was really kind, he would treat her coldly if she hindered his progress. The law of the jungle was the survival of the fittest.
"Thank you!" Dudian thanked her again.
Rosie looked at him but didn't say anything. When she was about to leave, she suddenly saw a few black metal objects in the room behind the door. She was slightly startled: "Mr Dean, are you creating a new invention?"
Dudian saw that she had noticed the lightning rod but didn't care: "Yes."
Rosie was surprised: "This … seems to be metal. Aren't you a wood element architect? Why would you create a new invention using metal elements?"
Dudian smiled: "You will know after I create it."
Rosie saw that Dudian didn't want to disclose: "Mr Dean, can I pre-order the new invention? I'll buy it at the price of a three star item!" She regretted her words. Although Dudian had created a four star item but who knew what the new invention would be? Even for many masters who had been famous for many years, they would usually only produce 1 or 2 star items. Occasionally, they would produce 3 or 4 star items. As for producing 5 star items, it was a rare thing for a master to do even once in a decade.
Dudian shook his head: "It's too low. If you give me the price of a five star item then I can pre-order it to you."
"Uh, hehe …" Rosie was stunned and immediately laughed twice: "Mr. Dean, you are really humorous."
Dudian shrugged.
Rosie was helpless as she said goodbye to Dudian and left.
Dudian closed the door after she left. He didn't expect that the purpose of the Pine Town market would be so deep. Although it was possible that Rosie made it up as he couldn't verify it but the possibility was very low. Moreover it was in line with the style of the Burong family. From an objective point of view he could completely understand Rudolph's approach but from his own point of view he couldn't tolerate repeated violations!
"Mellon consortium, Burong family, Mel family." Dudian gently rubbed his fingers as he thought about the matter.
That night.
Dudian returned to the Ryan family by car.
Old Fulin looked at Dudian in the study room: "Rosie must be aware of your refusal. Did you tell her about the new textile machine?"
"No." Dudian leaned on the sofa and rubbed his temples: "It's meaningless to talk about the past."
"Yes." Old Fulin was relieved: "There is no evidence. It's just our speculation. We won't get any compensation. Even if we get it it will be because of the face of the crossbow. It's meaningless."
Dudian rubbed his temples and closed his eyes: "Is there any information from other consortia?"
"In the afternoon, the Green Financial Group, Huasheng Financial Group, and even the military sent people over to discuss the matter of your crossbow. The price and conditions they offered were similar to Scott's. Now that the evaluation has been given, they can't lower the price. Now it's up to who can raise the price by how much. In addition, I've already inquired about it. Recently, the border battlefield has been busy with military supplies, and that group of barbarians is causing a ruckus again. Your crossbow can be considered lucky. During the war, I reckon that a small part of the reason why it was evaluated as a four-star high-grade crossbow is because of this. "
