Inside the temporary house, Testero stared at the price list, unable to calm down for a long time.
Everything on the list is good stuff ….
I want them all, what should I do?
But I have no money!
Pain!
Right now, Testero was like a young girl who opened Taobao and saw that there was a sale on sale. What? You don't understand?
Then you must be able to understand the pain of seeing all kinds of 75% off Black Friday Christmas discounts, but because of the lack of money, Xia Cuo could only stare helplessly.
"This … Do you have any …"
Tang En did not hesitate: "No, get lost!"
Testero felt wronged: "I just want a little discount, do you have to be so angry …"
"This is already a very good price."
Fiona explained for Twain, "You know, as the capital of Bul-Kathos, there are too many things that need to be considered. You don't want the capital to become the laughingstock of all the countries and races in Prandal after it is rebuilt, do you?"
Testero shook his head.
"So we have to do our best to complete this work. Believe me, other than us, there is no other team in Prandal that can complete this work in such a short time."
Fiona emphasized: "Our team is the best, and our price is completely reasonable!"
Testero hesitated for a long time, then gritted his teeth and asked: "How much does it cost to rebuild Bul-Kathos? I need a preliminary understanding. "
Fiona perked up and handed over a document: "It depends on what kind of package you want. Look, we have arranged a variety of packages for you, with different prices and different choices …"
Testero took a look and his eyelids twitched.
Although there were different types of set meals, the worst set meal still cost more than 200 million gold coins.
Looking at the price and the price just now, Testero took a deep breath and could not help but ask: "The price difference is too big, right? It was only 10 or 20 million just now, how did it suddenly go up to 100 million? "
"Please pay attention to this."
Fiona thoughtfully pointed at the table of the quotation sheet. "It's clearly written in brackets behind the title. The price below does not include the cost of materials and construction."
F * ck!
How could Testero understand such things? At first, he thought that the price quoted would cover everything. He did not expect that it was just the basic fee!
This was really a series of traps!
However, the biggest problem was that even though he knew that this was a series of traps, he still wanted to jump into it while laughing and crying!
Sharp Tooth and Ymir wanted to help Testero look at the prices, but when they saw the densely packed terms and conditions, they felt dizzy.
However, Mongol Kahn and Ursa's unintentional words had strengthened Testero's resolve.
— Ellington is a real city to live in.
That's what they said.
Creation! And it had to be built according to the best specifications!
"I've decided!"
Testero gritted his teeth and pointed at the top of the package: "I want the best!"
As a country bumpkin king, he was used to being poor, so he was not afraid that Twain had any good intentions. However, to be able to make a third-class city directly leap into the leading modern city of Prandal, this kind of opportunity was definitely not something that could be found at any time. After all, it was not like a city could be bombed to the ground at any time.
This time, Bul-Kathos encountered such a situation. From one point of view, it was a disaster, but from another point of view, it was a new life.
"Are you sure?"
Fiona was quite surprised by Testero's determination. With his courage, it was already surprising that he would choose a mid-range package. Speaking of which, a mid-range package would cost the entire city more than 1 billion gold coins.
"I'm sure!"
"That's a total cost of two billion gold coins."
Fiona paused for a moment and said: "Including the commission, food, and supplies, you will need to pay 2.15 billion gold coins!"
"We don't have that much money."
Testero smiled bitterly and spread his hands: "As I said before, even if we sell the entire Ryan Empire, we won't have that much money."
"Then sell the Ryan Empire to me —" Tang En almost blurted out, but he stopped himself.
If he said that, even a fool would know that he was plotting to take over the country.
And Testero would not really sell the Ryan Empire. Even if he was willing, the other orcs might not be willing, and there might be an uprising.
"Well, Tang En Majesty has also mentioned this. Because this is a very large sum of money, and considering the city's construction plan, we are willing to exchange labor, mineral resources, furs, herbs, and other specialties, as well as tax exemption and trade protection policies."
Fiona finally got to the point. She smiled and said: "As everyone in Prandal knows, the Ryan Empire is very good at taming beasts. Battle wolves, high-quality sharp-toothed horses, and land dragons are all very popular goods, especially the battle wolves and land dragons. If we can export them, we will have a lot of customers."
Testero raised an eyebrow: "It's impossible to export the battle wolves. It's too difficult to breed them, and it's difficult to control them with human means. But we can consider the land dragons."
Testero actually wanted to export the land dragons. Sometimes he even suspected that the reason the Ryan Empire was so short of food was all because of these foodies. If he could export a batch of them, not only would it reduce the food pressure in the country, but he would also earn a lot of gold coins. Why not?
Unfortunately, many ministers in the country objected.
After all, the land dragons were already a strategic advantage.
"Is the battle wolves not enough? It's okay. In addition to these, the Ryan Empire's leather, raw materials, rock tea, and so on are also very popular. These sales rights can also be exchanged for a certain amount of gold coins according to the evaluation of the market."
"That's not a problem at all, but I need a third party to participate in the market evaluation."
Testero didn't make a mistake this time. The evaluation of the market could be big or small, and it couldn't all be decided by the other party. It was most appropriate to have a fair and impartial third party to supervise.
Fiona smiled and said: "Of course, that's not a problem. Who do you want to choose as the third party?"
Testero pondered for a moment. He originally wanted to ask Sharptooth to invite Jean. After all, Jean's reputation in the human countries was quite good. But at this time, he suddenly remembered what Angus just said. Jean might also know this guy.
He suddenly looked at Ravitz: "Can the Star Diamond Bank help us with the market evaluation?"
"Of course, but the service fee can't be low."
Ravitz said without hesitation: "The market evaluation of an industry requires a service fee of 100,000 gold coins. I guarantee that the most complete market information will be collected from the headquarters and sent over as soon as possible."
Testero nodded: "With the help of Sir Doromavis, I believe that it will be sent over in time … Wait? Why don't I see Sir Doromavis? "
Ravitz said with a depressed face: "He went out two days ago before it rained. He said that he suddenly felt a large amount of water elements gathering nearby and went over out of curiosity … I think he's probably hiding somewhere to sleep again."
Doromavis was the Dragons' observer in the Bul-Kaiser Star Diamond Bank branch, similar to Azokamanda's role.
"Okay …"
"Your Majesty Testero, I have to remind you that this alone is not enough."
Fiona reminded Testero: "According to our current market evaluation, the market size of these industries added up to no more than 100 million gold coins. Even if we include our good expectations for economic development and the expected data for each market, the market size of these industries added up to no more than 200 million gold coins in the next five years."
There were some things that Fiona did not say. Now that the Harley motorcycles were on the market, people had a lot more choices for travel. In addition, the production of Mana Sedan was about to begin. In the future, there would be less demand for mounts, which meant that the market size of battle wolves and land dragons would gradually decrease with the passage of time and eventually be completely replaced by Mana Sedan.
Testero could not help but sigh: "But this is almost all the economic industry of our Ryan Empire …"
As a king of a remote and poor country, Testero also had internal injuries. Who did not want their country to be rich?
But the orcs were not cut out for that. They knew that many things in their country could be shipped to the human countries to make a lot of money. Those human merchants could make a lot of money by coming over twice a year, but not many orcs were willing to do it. Orcs who valued martial arts found it shameful!
A few of the more thick-skinned orcs were willing to try, but in the end, they were cheated by those treacherous merchants in the human countries. From then on, they doubted their lives and directly gave up on this line of work.
So the business atmosphere of the Ryan Empire was very bad.
It was about time.
Tang En secretly winked at Fiona and continued to hold the teacup in silence.
Fiona nodded and then said: "With all due respect, Your Majesty Testero, these things are not enough to be used as collateral."
Testero could only say: "Apart from these, I can only give you some preferential commercial policies. I can give you two … No! Three years of tax exemption! "
"Are you kidding me?"
Fiona showed a hint of disdain in her eyes. It was just enough to be noticed by Testero but not to anger him: "With the current business situation of the Ryan Empire, three years of tax exemption can save us tens of millions of gold coins at most."
After being exposed, Testero's face turned red. "But we also need taxes to maintain our rule …"
"It seems that you really do not know what else can be used as collateral."
Fiona pretended to sigh helplessly and said: "In that case, we can only ask for it ourselves … How many magic metal mines are being mined in the Ryan Empire?"
Testero's eyes suddenly widened. He finally understood why the other party was so enthusiastic about the construction of the Ryan Empire!
"So your ultimate goal is our magic metal mines!"
