Chapter 70 Black Gold (4, please subscribe)

Saruman opened his eyes in a little surprise, and looked up and down Eke.He did not expect that this unattractive foreigner actually knew this metal.

You must know that even in Middle-earth, there are only a handful of people who know this ore.

Of course Ekko didn't know what this ore was, but the system did.The moment his fingers touched the ore, a system prompt rang in Xie Kai's mind: "The precious metal 'black gold' has been discovered. It can be forged into sharp weapons that can pierce the scales of giant dragons. It can be traded. The official guide price per gram is 5000." gold."

That's right, the black arrow that killed Smaug, the last dragon in Middle-earth, had black gold dissolved into it.

"Since you understand the value of black gold, there is no need for me to waste my words." Saruman stretched out his hand. "One gram of black gold is worth fifty thousand gold coins."

Even though Saruman is wearing a white robe, he is quite dark at heart. With just one mouthful, the price is ten times higher than the official price.Fortunately, Xie Kai cheated and copied Saruman's old tricks, otherwise he might have been fooled by this bad old man.

Ek laughed and said calmly: "The white-robed wizard is joking. Although this black gold is precious, it has not been harvested. It's just that not many people know this thing now, so the inheritance has been cut off. In my opinion , one gram can only be worth three thousand gold coins at most."

Saruman secretly took a breath, knowing that he had met his opponent.Others would cut the price at the waist, but this old man just started cutting it from the ankle.

Generally speaking, those who dare to haggle like this are either money junkies in the eyes of losing money, or they know the real low price of the product.

Saruman narrowed his eyes and said: "Although there is still a small amount of black gold stored, most of it is buried deep underground, making it extremely difficult to extract. For every piece of black gold I dig out, I have to sacrifice at least ten orcs, so the price is so expensive. Therefore. One gram is worth at least [-] gold coins, no less."

"So that's the case, why didn't you tell me earlier," Eke said with a smile, "We have professional mining technology, which can greatly reduce personnel risks and improve mining efficiency. That's good, we will help you mine for free, One gram of black gold is worth three thousand gold coins, so it's perfect, how about it?"

Saruman pondered, and if Ek helped him dig mines, he would indeed be able to save a lot of manpower and material resources, and then he could increase the strength of his orc army more quickly.However, three thousand gold coins was too little, and Saruman's inner price was around five thousand.

After all the bargaining, Ekk and Saruman finally reached a final agreement:
[-]. Saruman recharged [-] million gold coins to become a Skull and Bones Super Diamond VIP member and enjoy the exclusive customized service for Skull and Bones Super Diamond VIP members;

[-]. [-] million gold coins are mortgaged with precious and precious resources such as black gold and mithril, and the corresponding prices are detailed in the attached list;
[-]. The Skull and Bones Society will assist Essinger in collecting and mining black gold and other precious resources free of charge. The resources collected and excavated will be split [-]-[-] between the two parties before the debt is repaid;
[-]. The final interpretation right of this contract belongs to Essinger and the Skull and Bones Society.

Of course, the specific contract is much more detailed, with thirty pages of parchment paper alone. The above four points are just a rough outline.

Just after Saruman signed his name on the contract and pressed his handprint and seal, Xie Kai finally heard the long-lost system prompt: the task of accumulatively reaching [-] gold coins with Essinger was completed.

Lying on the top of the magic tower, watching Saruman holding Ekko's hand below and loudly announcing their cooperation, Gandalf, with a cold sweat on his face, looked anxiously at the distant skyline.He wants to escape as soon as possible and inform the entire Middle-earth Continent of this important information.

And the name of an organization was deeply embedded in Gandalf's mind.

The Black Mountain Chamber of Commerce is the only organization that can compete with the Skull and Bones Society.

Xie Kai looked at Aragorn and Arwen who were sitting opposite with a serious face, and the two were ashamed, bowed their heads in silence, as if they were caught by their parents on the spot for doing something wrong.

After a while like this, Xie Kai coughed dryly, shook the bill in his hand, and said calmly: "Mr. Aragon, His Highness Alvin, do you two have any objection to the bill I read just now?"

Neither of them spoke, they just nodded slightly.

"Then one day, we will enter Rivendell, so before that, we have to settle this matter first," Xie Kai pursed his lips, "That's who I should ask for this account You two, or Lord Elrond, Lord of Rivendell?"

Arwen raised his pretty face, and said pitifully, "There's no need to bother my father with such a trivial matter, right?"

"A small thing?" Xie nodded, "Excellent, Your Highness Alwen, you have spent a total of 460 gold coins in the past few days. Did you pay by cash or by card?"

Alvin immediately lowered his little head, jokingly, although he was the lord of Rivendell, but in fact this was an empty title, without a penny of salary.I still live in the care of my father and adults, and more than 5000 gold coins are enough for my living expenses for ten years.

Aragorn gritted his teeth and said solemnly: "I will pay back this money for Arwen."

Xie Kai gave him a blank look, and said leisurely: "Mr. Aragon, don't worry. In the past few days, you also spent [-] gold coins in my Montenegro Chamber of Commerce. How about paying it back first?"

Aragorn was in a hurry: "I just bought a few things, just over 1000. Your Montenegro Chamber of Commerce is too dark."

Xie Kai's face sank, he spread out the bills, and pointed out one by one: "The Jili Sufeng razor is a free gift from me, but you ordered a shaving water gift pack, which is rich in minerals and gel water. It is worth ten gold coins to acquire a technology that is not available in Middle-earth Continent."

"Ace shampoo, with Chinese herbal ingredients unique to the Eastern Continent, it strengthens hair quality and reduces hair loss. You ordered ten bottles at once for twenty gold coins."

"Refreshing shower gel, five bottles, three gold coins... ten boxes of white toothpaste... oil-removing facial cleanser, ten bottles... and the candles, steaks, cakes, flowers you ordered the night before yesterday... all of the above are worth a thousand dollars Eight gold coins, I wiped off the change, one thousand gold coins, isn't that expensive?"

Alvin suddenly pointed at the bill and asked curiously: "What is this little blue pill? Five hundred gold coins, why is it so expensive?"

Aragorn suddenly coughed violently, and said with a flushed face, "It's just for treating internal injuries. I'll buy it as a spare."

"Yes, it is used to treat internal injuries," Xie Kai stared at Aragorn with an incomprehensible smile, "But Mr. Aragorn, you should already know the power of this medicine. Five hundred gold coins are not expensive, right?"

Recalling the scene of the brave fight between himself and Arwen after the candlelight dinner the night before yesterday, Aragorn nodded a little shyly: "It's not expensive, it's not expensive."

Xie Kai smiled satisfied: "Then when will the money be paid back?"

Aragorn sighed and begged: "If you wait any longer, there are still more than a dozen external debts from the east side that have not been paid back. When I get the money back, I will pay it back to you as soon as possible. Thank you boss."

"Family has its own laws, and the state has its own rules," Xie Kai said with a similar sigh, "It's not that I won't help you, Mr. Aragon, but that the chamber of commerce has its own rules. For small businesses, no credit is accepted. I use the president In the name of the two of you, it is already against the rules to give you two IOUs. It’s almost the end of the month, and it’s time to enter the account. You two have foreign debts, and my landlord’s family has no food left.”

Alvin said angrily: "No credit? How can I issue an IOU with one hundred thousand gold coins?"

"First, His Highness Alwen, the one hundred thousand gold coins is not an IOU, but a contract. The contract states that the Kingdom of Gondor's tariffs for the next ten years will be used as collateral." Xie Kai explained righteously, "Second, what I just said No, no credit is allowed in small businesses. And that one hundred thousand gold coins is no longer a small business."

"Oh, that's how it is!" Arwen raised his delicate eyebrows, "Then thank you boss, how much is the transaction counted as a small business?"

Xie laughed, stretched out his palm and turned it over: "The minimum is [-] gold coins."

"Okay," Alwin slapped the table, "Then I will do a business deal with you for one hundred thousand gold coins."

Aragorn was taken aback, and stared blankly at the spirited Alvin: "Honey, what do you want to buy?"

"Facial masks, sunscreen, toner, facial cream, foundation..." Alvin waved his hand boldly, "As long as the cosmetics sold by your chamber of commerce, package them all and give me a hundred thousand gold coins first."
