"Good stuff! It's really good stuff! "
Reeves looked at his subordinate riding the Harley-Davidson motorcycles and nodded with satisfaction, "Such a good thing, whoever doesn't buy it is an idiot!"
Fiona looked at Reeves with a strange expression. She didn't know if Reeves would beat Oscar to death after hearing what he said.
"In other words, you intend to place another order?"
"100,000 gold coins for one? This price is still a bit expensive. "
Reeves' face was full of smiles. He was not stupid. According to the information he had obtained, the final retail price of this thing was only 500 gold coins. Previously, he had bought this batch for 200,000 gold coins in order to build a good relationship with Twain, so that he could help out on the highway. At the same time, he also needed Twain's help to repair the communicator.
If he lost money then he lost it. In any case, as long as he could earn back the money, he wasn't afraid of spending it.
But now it was different. He had sold it well last time and had given him such a large amount of wealth. If he placed another order this time, he would really be crazy.
Fiona looked at the Golden Holy Fruit on the table and said with a smile, "For you, this price is nothing, isn't it?"
"But my money isn't for nothing."
Reeves grabbed a few fruits and chewed them, then said with a chuckle, "Your Harley-Davidson motorcycles will definitely go on the market. When that time comes, I will definitely support you. There's no need to worry about it now."
"Oh?"
Fiona looked at Reeves with a smile that wasn't a smile, "You seem to have forgotten that goblins can't use normal Harley-Davidson motorcycles. If you don't want the small Harley-Davidson motorcycles, then you can sell them all to Master Klotto and the others. Let's talk about the contract price of the small Harley-Davidson motorcycles in the future."
The smile on Reeves' face froze.
He had really forgotten about this!
Goblins simply couldn't use the Harley-Davidson motorcycles developed for humans. They had to use this special model. And the production was in the hands of the Datang Chamber of Commerce. This meant that the Datang Chamber of Commerce had the final say on the price!
"Beautiful Madam Fiona … the price must be discounted. The materials used for the small Harley-Davidson motorcycles are less, there's no reason for them to be more expensive!"
Fiona said seriously, "Developing the corresponding production line has cost us a lot of money, manpower, and material resources. These are all costs, and if you don't buy it, our investment will go down the drain, so the necessary profits must be guaranteed."
"Even so, the difference can't be that big! You are discriminating against us goblins! "
Reeves said with a bit of dissatisfaction, "Don't think that I don't know that the normal price you humans use is only 500 gold coins. Even if the small production line consumes research and development funds, it's impossible to continue selling it at the high price of 100,000 gold coins! One thousand gold coins! I think this is a very reasonable suggestion! "
"I'm sorry, Sir Reeves. You don't seem to understand that this is an unfair market, just like when you sell firearms to those small countries."
Fiona looked at Reeves with a smile that wasn't a smile: "Do you think we can't calculate the cost of those bombs and mines?"
"Alright! Fine! One thousand five hundred gold coins! I've already made the biggest concession possible! "
"You must be joking. Fifty thousand gold coins, this is the bottom line that His Majesty has given me."
"Impossible! The price is really too high. I'll take another step back. Two thousand gold coins for one! Moreover, I promise to give you an order of no less than 100,000 units after it's on the market! "
"Of course it's good to have an order, but it's a pity that the price is too low. Forty thousand gold coins for a year of warranty and lifetime maintenance. This money is worth it!"
"There are too many Chambers of Commerce that say this, but it's a pity that eight or nine out of ten of them will take the money and run away. Don't try to fool me!"
"Our Datang Chamber of Commerce is different from those flirtatious cheap goods outside. We are a proper Chamber of Commerce!"
Both sides engaged in a war of words over the price of the small Harley-Davidson motorcycles. Fiona used all of her means to deal with the cunning Reeves, displaying her business talent to the extreme. However, Reeves was a wily old fox after all. He wasn't moved by the things that Fiona said. He only firmly bit his bottom line and didn't waver no matter what Fiona said.
This made Fiona feel helpless. Facing this old fox whose face was thicker than a city wall, she was still too inexperienced.
In the end, the price was stuck at four thousand gold coins.
Regarding this matter, Tang En didn't know about it. However, Fiona knew that he intended to sell the small Harley-Davidson motorcycles at the same price as the normal models.
This idea came to Fiona after she saw Reeves. Her ideal goal was ten thousand gold coins. This way, the profits that the small Harley-Davidson motorcycles production line could bring would be even higher than the other lines added together.
Unfortunately, not to mention ten thousand gold coins, even five thousand gold coins was out of the question.
Reeves had a stubborn look on his face, making it clear that this price was up to her whether she accepted it or not.
Four thousand gold coins … … Although it was a bit far from her initial goal, in any case, it could be considered as more profit and an acceptable price.
However, Fiona certainly couldn't agree like this. She stood up and said, "I think that this price is still too low. We can't accept it. It would be better for us to suspend our negotiations for today. You can go back and think about it. We'll talk again tomorrow. I'll take my leave first."
"Wait a minute."
Reeves stopped Fiona, "I'm busy. I may not have time to waste my time with you tomorrow. Let's set the price today."
Fiona raised her eyebrows, "We can't accept the price of four thousand gold coins."
"How about this."
Reeves made a determined appearance and said, "I can take a step back. Four thousand five hundred gold coins per unit. This price should be fine, right? But I have a request! "
Fiona's eyes twitched and she said expressionlessly, "Five thousand gold coins. If you can accept it, then we'll talk. If you can't accept it, then forget it."
"Listen to my request first."
Reeves waved his hand and said, "If you can do it, then I'll accept the price of five thousand gold coins."
"What request?"
"I need a one-of-a-kind ride."
Reeves squeezed the fat on his body, "I think you may have already noticed that because of some things, I'm different from ordinary goblins. My body is very large, so I can't use ordinary vehicles at all. I have to use a custom-made carriage, but it's still inconvenient to travel."
"But when I saw the Harley motorcycle you produced, I was moved. I also want to try this kind of thing. But I'm too fat. "
"So my condition is that you have to make me a unique ride that I can use!"
"As long as you can do it, I'll accept the price of five thousand gold coins!"
Fiona frowned. This condition didn't sound like much, but … …
She looked at Reeves' bloated body. Does His Majesty have a way?
"I need to report to His Majesty."
"I know, so the next time I come, if I can see the ride you made for me, we can sign a contract on the spot."
After Fiona left the Star Diamond Bank's headquarters, she immediately returned to Ellington and conveyed Reeves's message to Tang En.
"What? He wants to order a ride? "
Tang En acted as if he didn't hear clearly and said with an incredulous expression, "His butt isn't stuck to the treasure chest below yet?"
Fiona rolled her eyes, "Don't change the subject, I'm talking about serious matters."
"It's not a big problem, but how did you suddenly think of this method?"
Tang En was amused. "Developing different versions of products for different groups of people and selling them at different prices is clearly discrimination."
This was like selling clothes in the market. Which customer wouldn't be angry if the small size of the same clothes was more expensive than the large size?
"Yes, I am discriminating against him!"
Fiona put her hands on her waist and said angrily, "Who told Jialian to take advantage of the situation and give us such expensive firearms!"
"Okay, okay, leave this matter to me. When you go over in a few days, we'll send it to him together."
Tang En looked at Fiona with a bit of amusement. She looked a bit like a young girl. She was usually too calm and experienced.
After Fiona left, Tang En began to think about how to solve Reeves' problem.
It was easy for him to get a ride, but it was very scary for him to want to ride a Harley-Davidson motorcycle … … How big would a motorcycle have to be to pull a six-meter-tall Goblin!? And he was so fat, how could he keep his balance? Could it be that he had to add two balance wheels?
Balance wheels?
Tang En had a flash of inspiration. Why don't I just make him a tricycle?
As long as it was big enough, the tricycle could perfectly carry his body. In addition, he wanted a unique ride. It just so happened that Tang En didn't plan to make a tricycle. He planned to directly produce a sports car with four wheels and a flying car without wheels, which just happened to meet the condition of being unique.
That's right, this is it!
Tang En clapped his hands, put down the work in his hands, and immediately began to act.
Tang En ran to the warehouse and brought back some universal alloy. After that, he brought back some reserve raw materials. Tang En quickly created the wind-powered magic engine, gears, transmission rods, and other parts.
Then, the transparent Nether Fire quickly melted the universal alloy, and the molten liquid began to stretch under the effect of the magic power, gradually taking shape.
Although it was a tricycle, Tang En obviously didn't make the agricultural tricycles on Earth. Instead, it was a very beautiful and stylish tricycle, similar to a variant of a Harley-Davidson motorcycle. The back of the tricycle was also redesigned by him into a huge seat. In order to take into account Reeves's rich aura, the seat was transformed into a treasure chest, making it convenient for him to put things in. Next to the seat was a small magic refrigerator that acted as a beverage cabinet and a snack bar. There was even a pop-up foldable umbrella at the back, which could not only block the sun but also the rain.
The most ingenious design was the dual driver design. In order to satisfy Reeves' interest, he had to be able to drive this tricycle. But ordinary Goblins didn't need such a big control lever, so Tang En designed a small driver's seat next to the tricycle. If Reeves was tired or uninterested, he could find a Goblin to drive the tricycle for him.
After assembling all the parts, Tang En looked at his masterpiece with great satisfaction.
Aren't you afraid of a four-meter-tall tricycle?
If Reeves wasn't satisfied with this, then he might as well send him to heaven.
