Chapter 243 Large-Scale Purchase with the Elves
"Twenty-two million one hundred and eleven thousand gold coins." Kyle repeated the number, somewhat disappointed.
He had assumed that, given the strength and connections shown by the Great Xia, this order would be similar to that of the Dwarves.
But the result... was less than half of the dwarves' 51 million gold coin order.
"Holy Son." Kyle's tone was calm, yet carried a subtle hint of probing.
"That's certainly a considerable deal. But isn't it a bit too little?"
"The dwarves have over fifty million gold coins. How about we consider getting some equipment, magic scrolls, and so on?"
"Teacher Kyle."
Lin Mo smiled and said:
"Don't rush."
"This is just the appetizer. Our permanent portal hasn't been built yet, and our industrial base is still on paper."
He pointed to the bustling construction site outside the window.
"There is nothing here now."
"Only when our teleportation portal opens, our shipyard is completed, and our factory begins operation will we truly achieve full-scale cooperation!"
Lin Mo's voice was filled with a powerful confidence, painting a grand picture for Kyle.
"Therefore, there is no need to argue with dwarves over a short time."
"We need to think long-term."
Kyle listened to Lin Mo's words, his eyes gradually becoming deep.
Yes, the potential of the Daxia people far exceeded his imagination.
Both sides are still in the initial stage, yet they can easily purchase more than 20 million gold coins. Adding the gold coins from other races, the total is over 100 million gold coins.
Once they have truly established themselves...
The future transaction volume will be an immeasurable figure.
Thinking about this, Kyle began to feel a sense of anticipation.
"You're right, Holy Son." He nodded emphatically, his expression returning to solemnity.
"I will personally oversee this matter and ensure that the supplies you have purchased are delivered as soon as possible."
Next, Kyle asked for a list of equipment for sale from Great Xia.
The glaring number on the A4 paper made his heart pound.
A quota of US$73.7 billion.
This is the amount he just received in exchange for selling those items.
A huge sum of money that could make the Holy See's treasurer faint.
He flipped through the papers, looking at the list of weapons of the Great Xia Dynasty, page by page.
From individual pistols to heavy tanks, from reconnaissance drones to self-propelled artillery, the variety is dazzling and all-encompassing.
Each piece of equipment has detailed performance parameters and kill range, exuding a cold industrial aesthetic and deadly lethality.
Kyle experienced that love-hate feeling again.
There are too many good things, but too little money.
"Teacher Kyle, are you satisfied with this list?" Lin Mo's voice came through, tinged with a smile.
Kyle put down the list.
"Holy Son, your weapons... are indeed impressive."
He paused, then confirmed:
"With this allowance, I can purchase any equipment on the list as I please, right? There are no restrictions, are there?"
"Of course." Lin Mo nodded.
"Honest and fair dealings with both young and old."
"Very good." Kyle nodded slightly.
$73.7 billion seems like a lot, but even a single steel behemoth called a "tank" costs $8.5 million.
With ammunition and other supplies, it's simply not enough!
Of course, the amount purchased now is much larger than the initial tentative purchase amount.
He needs to carefully discuss this huge purchase with the Pope and the Knights Commanders to ensure that the money is spent wisely.
"I need to discuss the specific purchase quantity with my tribe." Kyle stood up.
"This will take a few days. I will get back to you later."
"No problem," Lin Mo readily agreed.
"However, I hope the construction of the permanent portal can begin as soon as possible. Time is precious for both of us."
"I understand." Kyle's expression turned serious.
"I will send a message immediately to have the monk and construction materials delivered as soon as possible."
"Once we arrive, we'll start work immediately."
After seeing off the overjoyed Kyle, Lin Mo didn't pause for a moment and said to the guard:
"Go and invite Elder Muyu of the Elf race over."
"yes!"
Soon, Elder Muyu, dressed in a long emerald green robe and carrying a staff, entered the command tent.
"May the Goddess of Nature protect you, Lord Lin Mo." Elder Mu Yu bowed, placing his hand on his chest.
"Elder, please have a seat." Zhao Gang gestured with his hand.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the negotiations got straight to the point.
"We need magic crystals," Lin Mo said bluntly.
"The elves are offering eight gold coins per coin, is that right?"
"Yes, this is our cost price," Elder Muyu said with a smile.
One of them costs ten gold coins from the Holy Human race, which is why Lin Mo chose to purchase them from the Elf race.
"Great, we'll purchase one million."
"One million?" Elder Mu Yu's eyes lit up, and his smile broadened considerably.
Eight million gold coins, that's a very good start.
"Then comes mithril," Lin Mo continued.
Upon hearing this word, Zhao Gang, who was quietly taking notes, paused almost imperceptibly with his fingers holding the pen.
"Mithril is a gift from the earth; it is lightweight and has excellent magical conductivity," Elder Muyu explained, with a hint of pride.
"Our price is fifty gold coins per pound."
"Give me 100,000 jin, or 50 tons, to start," Lin Mo said calmly.
Five million gold coins!
Elder Mu Yu's smile deepened, and even his beard twitched slightly. This was another big order.
"And the Fountain of Life, a bottle costs a thousand gold coins, right?"
"Yes, every drop contains the life force of nature, which can not only treat diseases, but also restore youth."
"We need 10,000 bottles of this."
Ten million gold coins!
Elder Muyu's smile was as radiant as a blooming flower.
These three items alone cost a total of 23 million gold coins!
It seems that the elves' harvest this time is no less than that of those rude dwarves!
"Finally," Lin Mo turned to the last page of the list,
"Life Fruit, five million gold coins each. Let's buy one for research first, that's all."
"Just one? That's all?" Elder Mu Yu's smile froze, and he was somewhat taken aback.
Lin Mo began to summarize:
"Eight million magic crystals, five million mithril, ten million spring water of life, and five million life fruits."
"Total: 28 million gold coins."
This figure, as stated by Lin Mo, translates to $93.3 billion.
Another huge order.
But Elder Muyu was somewhat disappointed.
Twenty-eight million...
The dwarves have 51 million!
Only half!
"Lord Lin Mo!" His voice unconsciously rose slightly, filled with undisguised urgency.
"Isn't... a bit too little?"
"The Fruit of Life! That's a divine object that can double one's lifespan!"
"Won't you consider getting a few more?"
"For any living being, lifespan is the most precious treasure!"
"Or...or the seed of the World Tree! Only 100 million gold coins!"
"As you've seen, with it, you can build a massive city anywhere that will never sink... cough,!"
"It is a miracle of Terra!"
Elder Muyu originally wanted to say "never to fall," but then realized it would be a bit of a contradiction, so he quickly changed his wording.
