"Sixth Prince, I wonder how much this gun costs?"
Dai Zhou asked.
Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde and other generals listened with their ears pricked up.
They also want to know how much it will cost.
At the same time, they all have a psychological price in their hearts, that is, the price will not be low.
As for the one that costs one thousand taels.
Li Min didn't even think about it and said directly: "A rifle is three hundred taels per shot, a machine gun is five hundred taels per shot, bullets are not counted, each bullet is one tael!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone guessed wrong.
It turns out that it’s not expensive at all.
But, think about it carefully.
Everyone thinks Li Min is really good at business.
If it's a gun, it's not expensive.
But as for the bullets, they are a bit expensive.
This is a real war, and the bullets are kept coming for free.
Take an army of 100,000 people as an example. If each man has one gun, then it would cost 100,000. On average, one gun would cost 400 taels, so it would cost 400 million taels.
As for bullets, wouldn’t it take a hundred people to fight a war?
And I’m afraid it’s not enough.
Let’s just say one hundred. One hundred thousand people would need ten million bullets.
Just for a war, an army of 100,000 people would need 10 million taels of bullets. What if there were more people? Wouldn’t that mean more?
And before the fight, the soldiers need to be trained to get them used to the power of the rifle. Doesn't that mean that some of the bullets have to be discarded?
And also need to equip grenades.
If you do the math, you really can’t afford to fight.
Dai Zhou looked at Li Shimin.
Li Shimin glanced at him.
I mean I want it to be cheaper.
If it's so expensive, all the money from the treasury can be used to buy weapons. There is nothing left to do.
It has to be lowered no matter what.
So, Dai Zhou said, "Can it be cheaper? After all, we want a lot this time!"
Li Min was unhappy.
This depends on financial resources. If you don’t have money, you can buy less. It is also possible to train an army and equip it individually.
However, Li Shimin didn't think so. He was probably thinking that since everything was ordered, it would be done in one step. Otherwise it would be meaningless.
"These weapons of mine are the most advanced. You don't have to have them, but don't bargain! Bargaining will only make them cheaper. I don't want my products to drop in price!"
Saying this, Dai Zhou's mouth was immediately blocked.
Li Shimin glanced at Cheng Yaojin and others again.
It means that they should also talk to Li Min and ask him to lower the price or something.
Cheng Yaojin and others understood.
First, Cheng Yaojin said: "Sixth Prince, you see we didn't bargain with you for the grenades just now. Do you think the rifles and machine guns can be cheaper this time?"
Even if they bargain, it's useless.
Because it was impossible for Li Min to let go. Do you want these things if you like them?
Don't pull it down.
Yuchi Jingde then said: "Yes, we need a lot, can it be cheaper?"
This may have some effect on others, but for Li Min, it has no effect at all.
Because he doesn’t have to worry about selling.
And seeing that Li Shimin liked it so much, the price couldn't be lowered.
Li Shimin's love has been engraved on his face.
"I said, you don't need it, but please don't negotiate the price. Talking about money will hurt your feelings! Anyway, I haven't mass-produced it yet. If you don't want it sincerely, I can directly suppress the project. Understand?"
Li Min said so.
In fact, he has produced many.
But you can't say that, otherwise Li Shimin will have random thoughts again.
In the end, Queen Changsun had to come forward.
She said: "Yin'er, we are here with sincerity this time. Look...how much discount is there?"
Queen Changsun has already spoken, so you have to give her some face, otherwise it will really be unjustifiable.
So, Li Min said: "Auntie has said so, so if I don't give you a little benefit, it would be a bit unjustifiable."
Li Min thought for a while, and then said: "Let's do this, give one for every ten! Let's not talk about the rest. How about it?"
In fact, he could not give up a single point, but since Queen Changsun has spoken, let's lower it appropriately.
I gave him a 10% discount.
This is quite a face-saving gesture.
Queen Changsun glanced at Li Shimin, who seemed not satisfied yet.
He kept making glances there.
Queen Changsun shrugged her shoulders and said there was nothing she could do.
But Li Shimin did not give up at all, and looked at other ministers.
But no one responded to him.
Because, since Li Min has already given in, there is no possibility of giving in anymore.
This is their bottom line since we started doing business with Shengtang Group.
Li Min didn't give Li Shimin too many possibilities.
He finally said: "If it is confirmed, just sign it directly, otherwise this offer will be canceled tomorrow!"
After finishing speaking, he said to Dai Zhou: "Dai Zhou, what do you think?"
"I……"
Now Dai Zhou is in trouble.
Did he say yes or no?
Li Shimin is watching on the left, and Li Min is watching on the right.
Moreover, Li Min also said that today is uncertain and will be canceled tomorrow.
Finally, he looked at Queen Changsun.
I hope Queen Changsun can give him some advice.
Empress Changsun was also very depressed after being forced by Li Shimin.
In the end, she had no choice but to agree on behalf of Li Shimin: "Okay, let's do this, Dai Zhou, go and draw up the contract and sign it today!"
"Yes!" Dai Zhou breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally something happened.
And Li Min sold two more weapons that were about to expire.
If these weapons are not released, they may rot in the warehouse.
Fortunately, Li Shimin asked for it.
And the price paid is not low either.
"Zhu Shan!"
"yes!"
"Let's go to the next place!"
Li Min said finally.
At this time, everyone became energetic again.
Based on what just happened, it can be seen that this thing is progressing piece by piece, constantly increasing its power.
The third weapon must not be too bad.
This is what everyone is thinking.
Cheng Yaojin first asked: "Sixth Prince, what is the third weapon? Can you tell me first?"
Yuchi Jingde then said: "Yes, we want to know, what is the third thing? Is it something bigger than a grenade or a rifle?"
Li Shimin also wanted to know, but he did not have the right to express what he thought.
On the other hand, Queen Changsun seemed particularly calm.
Li Min looked at everyone and said: "You will know in a moment. If I say it now, it will be meaningless, but I can tell you that this next thing can allow the Tang army to move forward forever and fight without defeat." Unbeatable!"
What he said directly ignited everyone's enthusiasm.
At the same time, I kept guessing what the next thing would be like.
But people's brains are limited, and they can't think of anything more powerful than rifles and grenades.
As a last resort, he had no choice but to follow Li Min to another room.
