Immediately, Chief Geronimo couldn't wait to ask.
"How much do you want for the kerosene lamp?"
"Ten beaver skins for the kerosene lamp and five skins for the kerosene used as fuel for a bottle."
These things were fragile and not easy to carry. Chen Mo had the dimension and didn't have to consider these issues, so he brought a lot of everything.
Chief Geronimo heard Chen Mo's offer and couldn't help but nod.
"Your price is very fair!"
One had to know that the purchasing teams of the American fur companies would sell a knife for ten beaver pelts. Compared to that, Chen Mo's price was already very fair.
Chen Mo didn't feel that he was at a disadvantage. After this beaver skin was sold, it was enough to buy hundreds of kerosene lamps.
Beaver skin had good insulation, was soft and comfortable, and had always been a favorite clothing material of the royal family and nobles. The price was also quite expensive.
Hats made of beaver skin were very waterproof and would not be deformed even in rainy days. They were very popular in Europe and almost everyone with status had one.
As beaver skin was produced in the American continent, it was not easy to purchase and transport them. In addition, the demand was huge. The price of beaver skin had risen again and again, but the demand still exceeded the supply. Having a hat made of beaver skin had become a symbol of status and was a top luxury that only the upper class could afford.
Now, not only in Europe, this trend had also spread to the United States. The price of beaver skin was even higher. Therefore, although Chen Mo's price was much higher than the purchasing team of the American fur company, the extra cost was not worth mentioning compared to the huge profits. Chen Mo was not an American businessman who only cared about money. The profits of the fur trade were already amazing, so there was no need to continue to oppress and exploit these Native Americans.
Although it was impossible to trade according to the real value of the furs, the materials that Chen Mo brought with him were much richer and more varied than the American fur company that originally had a monopoly. Furthermore, the price that he offered for the furs was nearly double the price that the original purchasing team had offered. This made these Native Americans who had been oppressed and exploited for a long time extremely happy. They all praised Chen Mo and the other two for their fair trade.
In this Lakota Native American tribe, Chen Mo used all kinds of resources to exchange for a large amount of beaver fur, mink fur, bison fur, and other furs. He even had a huge bear fur.
The length of this bearskin was nearly three meters. Its original size should have been extremely huge, with an estimated weight of more than seven hundred kilograms. It was worthy of being called a giant.
It was not an easy task to kill it. Some of the weaker tribes might even be slaughtered if they encountered such a huge beast. Looking at the situation of the Lakota tribe, it did not seem like they had paid a huge price. From this, it could be seen that the strength of the Lakota tribe's warriors was not to be underestimated.
For this rare huge bearskin, Chen Mo directly offered 100 beaver skins for it, which made Chief Geronimo very happy. He said that Chen Mo's price was fair. After the transaction was over, Chen Mo and the other two stayed to entertain them warmly.
The next day, Chief Geronimo personally bid farewell to Chen Mo and the other two in front of the tribe.
"The Lakota tribe looks forward to your next visit. The warriors of the Lakota tribe are the most powerful warriors in the Missouri Forest. Next time, we will prepare more beast furs to exchange with you. I hope you can bring more and better things. "
Chief Geronimo said proudly.
Chen Mo nodded. Chief Geronimo was not bragging. Among the Native American tribes that he had been to, the warriors of the Lakota tribe were indeed the strongest and bravest.
Looking at Chief Geronimo, Chen Mo nodded gently and said slowly.
"I will."
…
The Lakota tribe was just one of the many Native American tribes that Chen Mo, Viktor, and James passed by. With the repeated transactions during this period, the large amount of living materials stored in Chen Mo's space in New York, as well as the materials looted from the armed personnel of the American fur company, were quickly replaced by piles of precious furs.
With Chen Mo's huge space of 1,000 cubic meters, if they were all filled, the value of the furs when they left the forest and returned to New York would be extremely shocking.
In fact, not all Native Americans would be like the Lakota tribe. They would be satisfied with Chen Mo's purchase price that was much higher than that of the American fur company, as well as the high quality, low price, and a wide variety of materials. They would honestly trade with Chen Mo and the other two. Instead, they felt that they were just ordinary fur traders who did not have the deterrence of a powerful armed force like the American fur company. Therefore, they wanted to take advantage of the fact that they had more people in their tribe to forcibly rob the materials on Chen Mo and the other two.
The final result was self-evident. Chen Mo did not even need to do anything. Viktor and James, who had experienced a lot of battles and had greatly increased their strength, killed all the Native Americans who tried to rob them.
Chen Mo didn't kill them all. He killed all the Native Americans in the tribe. He only killed those who had tried to rob them.
The powerful combat power that Viktor and James displayed, their ferocious fighting style that was like a wild beast that was not afraid of death, and their unique weapons were enough to intimidate the remaining Native Americans. They did not dare to have any thoughts that they should not have.
During the battle, Viktor and James' sharp claws and bone spurs were inevitably seen by the other Native Americans who were present. In addition, the two of them displayed great speed and agility that were far beyond that of ordinary people, as well as their ability to continue fighting as if they were not injured at all after being hit, had shocked the Native Americans who were present. They could not help but think of the legend that had been spreading among the tribes recently.
It was said that in this vast and boundless forest, there were two ferocious humanoid beasts that had terrifying claws on their hands. They slaughtered the armed personnel of the American fur company.
However, this was only a legend in the past. Although some people thought that the ancestral spirits had shown up and sent these two ferocious beasts to punish the armed personnel of the American fur company who oppressed and exploited them, many people thought that they had only encountered a grizzly bear or some other ferocious beast.
But this time, there were people who saw with their own eyes how sharp claws and bone spikes grew out of their hands out of thin air. Furthermore, their incomparably powerful combat strength and unimaginable ability to ignore attacks and be unkillable. The previous rumors had completely become reality.
The Native Americans who were present at the time could not help but have a strong fear and even respect for Viktor and James. The strength and magic of the two of them began to spread like wildfire. How could those who loved to watch not pay attention to this public account?
