Was five hundred thousand gold coins a lot?
To Oscar, it really wasn't much.
When Victor was alive, his daily expenses were about a hundred gold coins. He would only celebrate with a meal when he encountered something happy. Even then, his daily expenses were only three hundred gold coins.
As for Oscar?
His average meal cost a thousand gold coins every day, and his food and clothing cost about five thousand gold coins a day. He was definitely a real tycoon king.
But what was Oscar thinking?
He wanted to equip all the cavalry with such mounts!
How many cavalry did the Ronitans have? The light cavalry scouts and heavy cavalry were conservatively estimated to be more than thirty thousand!
Thirty thousand multiplied by five hundred thousand, that was forty-five billion gold coins!
It would be more like selling the Ronitans Kingdom!
Even if the Ronitans Kingdom was very rich, their current treasury only had ten billion gold coins in reserves, and this was the sum of their income over the years!
Even if they used all of it to buy Harley motorcycles, it would only be ten thousand?!
Oscar wasn't crazy!
But there was such a crazy person in front of him!
He actually equipped his subordinates with more than a hundred Harley motorcycles!
That's 50 million gold coins!
Oscar's balls hurt, deeply hurt. He always thought that he was the richest king other than the Star Diamond Bank, but he didn't expect that this ordinary-looking guy in front of him was actually more nouveau riche than him!
He originally thought that his sister had found him as a shield, but now Oscar didn't think so …
Perhaps, he was a protective shield that his sister had found for him …
Wait? When did the Irus Empire become so rich?
At this time, Oscar suddenly remembered the information that the spies had sent back a while ago. The Irus Empire had carried out an unprecedented purge, and the powerful and deep-rooted aristocrats were all swept away with iron and blood.
At that time, Oscar thought that it was his sister's doing, and was so happy that he drank a few more cups. Now that he thought about it carefully, what the f * ck! Could this be Tang En's doing?!
If it wasn't for that purge, how could the Irus Empire's treasury have so many gold coins for him to use?!
How could Oscar have thought that the Harley motorcycles were actually made by Tang En himself? After deducting the import of ores from the Dwarf Kingdom and the research and development costs, the labor cost of a Harley motorcycle was only a few dozen gold coins.
If they sold it for 500,000 yuan per unit, that would be a huge profit!
If Oscar knew how much profit there was, he would probably be so jealous that he would want to rob Tang En.
"Please don't worry."
Twain flashed a brilliant smile, his eight teeth shining brightly under the sun. The moment the Elrington warriors below saw Twain's smile, they could not help but start to stifle their laughter.
They knew it was time for Oscar to bleed.
"Since we are family, if you want to buy it, of course I won't sell it to you according to the auction price."
Tang En looked at Oscar with a smile and said, "I'll take a loss. Two hundred thousand gold coins for a Harley motorcycle. What do you think?"
Initially, Tang En had intended to set the market price at only 500 gold coins. However, after the auction, he would not be so foolish as to ruin his own reputation. Furthermore, Oscar was a tycoon. If he did not kill him now, when would he?
Oscar's eyes suddenly shone with a strange light. As a financial expert who had become a professional midway through his career, Oscar was very clear about the overstatement of the price. He also understood that Tang En would definitely not do business that would incur a loss. With a price of 200,000 gold coins, his profit would probably be between 50,000 and 100,000 gold coins. But to reduce it from 500,000 to 200,000 gold coins was definitely a great bargain.
To be honest, this price was already acceptable for small scale equipment.
Not to mention much, even if he first equipped a cavalry team of a thousand people and let them all equip the Harley motorcycles, the mobility and group combat ability of the cavalry team would be greatly improved.
"Okay!"
Oscar said decisively, "I want a thousand units!"
"Pfft!"
Tang En wanted to spit in his face. Motherf * cker, I don't even have a thousand units, and you want a thousand for 200,000 gold coins?! You f * cking tycoon, you're really rich!
Two hundred thousand gold coins for a thousand units added up to 200 million gold coins. This was definitely not a small amount. It could even be said that this was the biggest deal that Tang En had ever done.
Unfortunately, the production capacity couldn't keep up!
You don't want to sell, right? We've just agreed that if he couldn't afford it, he could find a reason to reject it. But he could afford it!
"Are you sure?"
Tang En looked at Oscar suspiciously. "That's 200 million gold coins, and the production time of the Harley motorcycles is very long. Even if you pay the deposit now, we can't deliver it to you for the time being. It might take at least half a year to produce them."
Tang En deliberately said long. As the producer, of course, he couldn't be stuck on his own time. In fact, if he gathered all of Ellington's resources and built a few more production lines, a thousand Harley motorcycles could be produced in a week.
Now that Ellington's workers were very familiar with the production line, their efficiency was much faster than before.
"Half a year? No problem, I can accept it. "
Oscar heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that. It was within his acceptable range. If such a terrible vehicle could be produced in ten days or half a month, he would be afraid.
"Well, in this case, let's go back and draw up a contract. You have to pay 30% of the deposit, which is 35 million gold coins. When the production is half done, you have to pay another 30%. When the final delivery is made, you have to pay the rest of the money."
Tang En said casually, "As for the specific contract, someone will come to talk to you later."
Regarding the contract, the most suitable person was, of course, Fiona. Tang En himself was simply a hothead. A Prandal contract was a contract, but under the supervision of a God, it had a real punishment effect. If he was cheated, he would have nowhere to cry.
When Oscar saw that Tang En had agreed to sell him 1,000 Harley-Davidson motorcycles in one go, he instinctively felt that something was not right. But on second thought, with Olina beside him, he could not possibly cheat him. What was there to be afraid of?
Yes, of course, Tang En wouldn't cheat Oscar … Well, probably.
What he wanted to do was to replace the military model with the civilian model and sell it to him …
Anyway, he had agreed to sell him the Harley motorcycles. Not to mention the military model or the civilian model, even if the Gods Descend, there wouldn't be any problems, right?
The difference in performance between the civilian model and the military model of the Harley-Davidson motorcycle was not small. There were also many differences in functions. Of course, the most important point was that the shock absorber for the civilian model was of secondary quality, which could not reach the performance index of the military grade. The tires were also narrower, which meant that the civilian model was much worse in terms of terrain adaptability.
At the same time, the maximum speed of the civilian model was limited to 60 kilometers per hour, which was much faster than the warhorse, but compared with the military model, which had no speed limit … Haha.
The pleasant maneuver ended like this. In order to reward the soldiers, Oscar waved his hand and held a huge banquet at noon. All the soldiers who participated in the maneuver were invited to enjoy the magnificent food together.
However, when Tang En saw the delicious food, his expression became a bit strange.
Elsa, Olina and Grandia also had strange expressions in their eyes.
"What's wrong, everyone?"
Oscar pretended to be puzzled and said with a smile, "Don't you like it? It's a way of eating that was passed down from the merchants of the Ryan Empire. It's said that it's called hot pot, which is most suitable for the cold Ryan Empire in the north. However, after I tried it, I found it very good. Not only is it delicious and stimulating, but it's also very convenient to eat. It's now being promoted in the country. "
Oscar said proudly, "Although this hot pot comes from the Ryan Empire, I believe that after it spreads, people will remember Oscar of the Ronitante Kingdom, and not the orcs of the Ryan Empire."
Tang En looked at Oscar with a strange expression. "Are you sure this hot pot came from the Ryan Empire?"
"Of course, it was brought back by the boss of a company that travels between the Ryan Empire and the Ronitante Kingdom."
So, Tang En nodded silently and didn't say anything.
Olina had already lowered her head, not knowing how to look at Oscar.
That's right, the main body of this grand royal banquet was actually a f * cking hot pot banquet!
Damn it, although it's the end of April and the weather is still very cold, this is the Ronitante Kingdom!
F * ck, Oscar, are you a masochist?
According to Tang En's inference, the Ronitante Kingdom was the kingdom closest to the equator in Prandal. The temperature here was around 30 degrees all year round. Eating hot pot in this kind of weather?!
It would be fine if there was air conditioning, but this was the open air! The open air!
In the Irus Empire, the hot pot chain business that Tang En and Victor partnered together had already blossomed everywhere. Ellington also opened a hot pot restaurant that was directly operated by the Datang Chamber of Commerce. With the air conditioning blowing, one could drink iced and delicious juice drinks, or have a glass of iced beer brewed by dwarves and a slice of tender and juicy meat. That was enjoyment. Eating hot pot in the open air in the tropics was self-abuse.
But in any case, the hot pot luncheon still began. With the strength of the royal palace chefs and the military logistics department, it was not a problem to provide a hot pot banquet for less than 300 people.
Ellington's soldiers sat around the hot pot under the hot sun, and each of them had a very strange look on their faces. This was really f * cking torture!
But looking at the others, the soldiers still had to put on a smiling face and forcibly stuffed slices of meat wrapped in chili oil into their mouths. The feeling of being drenched in sweat was simply driving them crazy.
At the banquet, Olina really didn't want to see Oscar lose face again, so she pulled him aside and whispered a few words to him. Then, Tang En noticed that Oscar's face instantly became unusually colorful, fidgety and sweaty, as if all the men in Prandal had been here.
Ten thousand f * cking horses galloping in his heart were not enough to describe Oscar's mood at the moment.
F * ck, you f * cking Tang En!
Did you f * cking make hot pot?!
This time, he acted like a fool!
