With the blueprints, Chen Yu could continuously produce equipment.
Black iron, bronze, bright silver.
He could instantly forge equipment without any waiting time. As long as he clicked fast enough, he could produce tens of thousands of sets of equipment in a single day.
If the Batu Kingdom could absorb all the goods, it would be a business worth tens of millions, even hundreds of millions.
Chen Yu could not find a reason not to sell.
"Tell him this way, at this stage, we only have 100,000 sets of each type of equipment. Do not reveal that the equipment is from me," Chen Yu whispered, narrowing his eyes. "If they want these equipment, have them provide you with a 30% prepayment."
"Is that feasible?"
Fu Hua Elton hesitated at Chen Yu's exorbitant demand.
A 30% initial payment.
This was no small sum.
The black iron sets were fine, 100,000 sets were only two million gold coins.
A down payment of 600,000.
In Fu Hua Elton's eyes, this was a small amount.
The problem was with the bronze and bright silver sets, the initial payment for these two types of sets would be much larger. He had no prior cooperation with the Batu Kingdom.
Asking for money before even seeing the equipment.
It didn't feel right!
"What's there to be afraid of? Don't forget you are the patriarch of the Elton family. Your family's reputation is at stake, and we also need to show that this equipment is not something we are desperate to sell," Chen Yu said with a low chuckle.
In business, one should never appear too eager.
It was like going to a mall to buy clothes. If a garment was priced at 200, and you instinctively tried to bargain it down to 100, and the shopkeeper agreed immediately, you would definitely feel like you might have been ripped off.
If the shop insisted on 200, then even after buying it, you would feel it was not too bad.
The equipment business was the same.
The Batu Kingdom coming to the Elton family showed a willingness to cooperate. Who knew what the Batu Kingdom would think? They might even investigate the relationship between the Elton family and the royal family of the Batu Kingdom, and perhaps they would negotiate with the Elton family during the subsequent handover.
Chen Yu did not want such troublesome matters.
Fu Hua Elton, being an experienced businessman, naturally understood the logic behind Chen Yu's words.
"Alright, I will handle it."
"I will try my best to negotiate the deal for the equipment without putting us at a disadvantage. Mr. Chen, you must also prepare the equipment."
"Don't worry," Chen Yu nodded with a smile.
If the Batu Kingdom was truly sincere in buying, he could personally forge all this equipment in a couple of days. Delivering the equipment on time was not an issue at all.
"My daughter, I also ask Mr. Chen to take care of her."
Fu Hua Elton sighed deeply and said solemnly.
"I will arrange everything as much as possible before you enter the royal city. And I will also try to help with your request for certification, Mr. Chen. However, there is one thing I must tell you."
"Speak."
"I cannot guarantee that Loni will not be assassinated. Please be careful when you travel with her."
"That's it?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yu immediately showed a smile.
Assassination.
He had long expected it.
If the royal family wanted to bring ruin to the Elton family, but could not openly break ties, then secret assassinations were inevitable.
Since he was willing to travel with Loni, he had considered this possibility.
Let alone Loni,
his own situation was not much better. Perhaps those who wanted to kill him in secret were already on their way.
After briefly discussing the equipment matters with Fu Hua Elton, the video call ended. Chen Yu, holding Loni Elton's wristwatch, returned to the campfire.
"You've been talking for so long, what did you say to my father?"
Buckling the wristwatch onto her wrist, Loni asked curiously.
"It's definitely not something you need to know, otherwise why wouldn't your father let you listen in?" Chen Yu stretched lazily and said, "Shall we depart now?"
Loni, whose face was filled with anger, changed her expression upon hearing Chen Yu's latter words.
"You agreed?"
"Your father agreed," Chen Yu shrugged. "Does my agreement matter? You have hands and feet, young lady. If I don't agree, will you still not return to the royal city?"
"Yay!"
Loni excitedly waved her small hands.
She desperately wanted to return to the royal city. During this time, even in her dreams, she would dream of the scenes within the royal city. Moreover, she wanted to go back and see if there were any problems with her family.
Although Fu Hua Elton's words had reassured her, she was still a little hesitant.
Were there problems within the clan?
Otherwise, with her father's affection for her, he would never have treated her that way.
"It's good that you're sensible enough to bring me along," Loni said with a cheerful smirk, hands on her hips. "Let me tell you, without me, given the chaos in the underground world, you probably wouldn't reach the royal city for three to five years."
"Yes, yes, everything is up to Miss Loni."
"Follow me."
The campfire extinguished, and under the moonlight, Chen Yu and the others left the wilderness.
At the same time—
"Are there any movements from the Elton family?"
In a dark church, a cold whisper slowly echoed.
Standing outside the long curtain,
a man dressed in a pure black robe stood respectfully.
"The Elton family has been restless recently," the man said with a solemn expression as he reported. "Fu Hua Elton has not established businesses within our kingdom. Instead, he has invested a large amount of capital and resources in a city at the border."
"Which country's city?"
"Wu Guo."
"Wu Guo?" the person behind the curtain snorted, and the man outside nodded slightly. "That city was previously a forgotten city, and it was occupied by a necromancer some time ago. For some reason, a group of peripheral orcs suddenly appeared in the city and rebuilt it."
"Interesting."
The snorting sound followed, and then the low voice from inside was heard again.
"A cursed city, yet someone is willing to rebuild it. It seems to be some refugees looking for a place to survive. Fu Hua Elton establishing his business there must be out of desperation. This Elton family should not last much longer."
"You are right."
"Fu Hua Elton, this person is like this. He could have solved the problem by simply bowing his head, but he insists on acting as if it's a fight to the death. But he doesn't realize that he is facing the sea that nurtured him." The low voice gradually became cold, saying, "Have the people sent to assassinate him not succeeded yet?"
"No."
The man standing outside shook his head.
"Fu Hua Elton's surrounding guards are all at the 'Cai' level and 'Hei Yao' level. Ordinary people cannot get close to him at all, or rather, they die as soon as they show any killing intent towards him."
"That's right, after all, he is the largest commercial family in the Tatu Kingdom and has capable subordinates."
"You are right."
"Then what about his daughter?"
"You mean..."
"Send someone to kill his daughter," a melancholy whisper came from behind the curtain. "Come to think of it, I quite like that girl. She's smart. Unfortunately... kill her."
