Chapter 287 Bargaining

Chishan Iron Mine is not a large iron mine. The total amount of iron ore mined every year was about 3

This number seems very large at first glance, but if you convert the units, it is only 1,800 tons.

According to the highest iron production ratio, this much iron ore can only produce 720 tons of wrought iron.

This kind of output was too little for Luo Ning to use himself, so naturally he would not give it to others easily.

To say the least, it's not that he has a problem with Wiggins.

If the other party really helped in obtaining Chishan Town, then he would be willing to give in.

But in fact, as Ronin said, Wiggins did not provide any help in this matter.

Under this situation, it is impossible for Luo Ning to give up 30% and provide the other party with 6,000 gold coins for free every year.

Wiggins couldn't help but question: "You said I didn't provide any help, but you seem to have forgotten that I provided the logistics for the Wubei Cavaliers team."

"Of course I remember this. I also remember that you promised me that as long as I am willing to go to the front line of Chishan Town on your behalf, you will also provide 20,000 people to Wubei Territory for free."

Wiggins seemed to be very angry, "You won't give me a share of the Chishan Town iron mine, and you still want to ask me for someone else. Luo Ning, do you think I'm easy to talk to? Or do you think I'm a fool?"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Diane seemed to have something to say.

But after his eyes wandered between the two of them, he took his words back.

Forget it, the two of them probably wouldn't listen to what they said anyway, so they didn't interrupt.

If the relationship between father and son really gets too tense, the Marquis will still be there to help.

"Father, you are joking. I have never had such an idea."

Luo Ning's tone slowed down: "Although I said I wouldn't give you a share, I didn't say I wouldn't give you gold coins."

In the previous cooperation between Wiggins, Corian and others, he had a 10% share, which is about 2,000 gold coins per year.

But if Wiggins has his own sales channel, he can sell the 360,000 kilograms of iron ore involved in his share. This is his right and freedom.

When Luo Ning was preparing to buy iron ore from the other party, this was how the other party handled it.

Chishan Iron Mine now belongs to Luo Ning. If Wiggins can sell that share privately as before, this will cause trouble.

Just imagine, if Luo Ning is in urgent need of iron ore, Wiggins suddenly says that he has negotiated a deal and urgently needs to come up with 100,000 kilograms of iron ore. What should Luo Ning do at this time?

Therefore, it is better to use money from beginning to end.

As for why Luo Ning is willing to give money, it is naturally because he does not want to have a tense relationship with Wiggins.

No matter how unpopular the other party is, he is still the heir to the position of future marquis, and now he can intervene in the affairs of Wushan Territory. Luo Ning may not be able to avoid him in many things that he will have to deal with in the future.

Moreover, if it is rumored that Luo Ning and Wiggins have a bad relationship, it will not be a good thing for the Osan family.

"Oh? Are you willing to pay?"

Wiggins was stunned for a moment. He thought that Luo Ning had no intention of letting up on this matter, but he didn't expect that there would be a sudden change.

The gloomy look on his face seemed to dissipate a little.

"How much? Six thousand? Five thousand?"

Luo Ning shook his head: "You know I don't have much money in my pocket, and Wu Bei Ling is short of money. At this time, it is impossible for me to come up with five thousand gold coins every year."

He paused and seemed to have thought of a number: "With my best ability, I'm afraid I can only give you 1,500 gold coins per year."

The clouds on Wiggins' face dissipated a little more, but he still didn't let go.

"No, no, no, Luo Ning, one thousand five hundred gold coins is too little. Although the development of Wubei Territory requires gold coins, the profits from the Chishan Iron Mine are huge. It is not a problem for you to give me four thousand gold coins every year!"

"Father, during the period when the Polite Bandits occupied Chishan Town, they killed many people. Now the population of Chishan Town has dropped to zero. It is difficult for me to even gather the number of miners that I had before, and I will not be able to resume production in a short period of time."

Luo Ning looked sad: "And in the future, I will have to re-establish sales channels and recruit various talents, which will cost a lot of gold coins! If you still ignore my difficulties, then I will give you another three hundred at most, one per year. Thousand eight!”

Wiggins was stunned for a moment, as if he did have this problem.

"Let's do this. I will solve the human problem for you. Based on the 20,000 I promised you before, I will add another 5,000. As for the gold coins, I don't think it will be easy for you. You only need to give me 3,000."

The atmosphere of the discussion has changed from tense before to bargaining now.

Diane felt relieved, but fortunately the quarrel did not continue.

After dozens of rounds of friendly negotiations, the two finally reached an agreement-Luo Ning would give Wiggins 2,050 gold coins every year.

This price is a little more for Wiggins than before, and it is also acceptable for Ronin.

"Hahaha, well done Ronin!"

Wiggins smiled and gave a thumbs up. He is a moody guy.

"Nobles from all over the world will gather here in the past two days, take a good rest and prepare for the next celebration banquet!"

"Then father, the twenty-five thousand people you promised me..."

Wiggins waved his hand: "Don't worry when I do my job. I have already collected seven or eight thousand before. When the news spreads to the various manors and cities below, so many people will be able to collect it quickly!"

This unpleasant meeting finally ended in a happy atmosphere.

Looking at Luo Ning's leaving figure, Wiggins couldn't help but complain: "This guy, since he was already planning to give me money, why didn't he just tell me directly and cause me to break this good chair!"

The reason why Luo Ning directly rejected the other party Nian Xiang was just to minimize the other party's expectations.

"Also, he actually used fighting energy against me just now. He really doesn't take me as a father seriously!"

He glanced at the wooden block dug deep into the lawn at his feet, still feeling a little unhappy.

But after talking and scolding, he was still happy to be able to get such a price in the end.

"Wiggins, you should change your temper."

Diane advised sadly: "Luo Ning is no longer the same person as before. Now he is not only your son, but also the Viscount of Wubei Territory. He is even a silver knight who can give the Meteor Knight a fatal blow. You should face up to your own status and the gap in strength between you and your opponent.”

"I know!"

Wiggins had to admit that in the future, even if he was angry, he would only use his mouth, not his actions.

He also understood the importance of Luo Ning's appearance to the family.

"Diana, go help me urge the managers of Wushan City and the estates everywhere, and ask them to speed up the process and gather 25,000 people for me."

Wiggins said: "In fact, no one counts all the criminals in prison. If they have the ability to commit crimes, they have the ability to mine. Pull them all out and send them to work in the mines!"

Diane frowned: "Criminals don't seem to be easy to manage, right?"

"Don't worry about it. Those criminals are basically ordinary people. With Luo Ning's strength, are you afraid that he won't be able to manage them?"

Wiggins didn't care about this: "What's more, he still has a team of Cavaliers under his command!" (End of Chapter)
