"Raw materials, but we only want high-grade goods.
If there are any items you can't identify, you can take them out. "
Xi Ping shot a glance at Bogner, "If there are any good quality card appliances, you can take them out for a look."
Miss Xiao smiled sweetly, "OK, please wait a moment."
After a moment, some of her subordinates brought over some fantasy cards.
Miss Xiao picked up one of them with her slender fingers and inserted it into the card player in front of Chen Mu and the others.
A list immediately appeared in front of them, and by randomly selecting one, more detailed information about the material's parameters would pop up.
What Miss Xiao hadn't expected was that the one flipping through the list wasn't the incomparably experienced Xi Ping, but their young boss.
It was rare for a boss to personally pick out goods, which was a job that required a lot of experience, not to mention that the boss was so young.
Unless the boss was an expert in that area.
An expert in materials?
Could he be a card master?
Only a card master would be so familiar with materials.
Miss Xiao was exceptionally smart, and the first thought that flashed through her mind matched up with the facts.
Without batting an eyelid, she secretly paid attention to the materials Chen Mu had browsed.
They were all high-grade materials!
That discovery made her heart jump wildly. If her guess was correct, then that young boss was certainly a high-grade card master!
What could be more valuable there than a high-grade card master?
The chamber of commerce had spent a lot of money to build a base in the Outer Reaches, where they could get a lot of high-grade materials.
But they still hadn't recruited a high-grade card master.
Actually, they hadn't been able to find a foothold in the city at first, so they had simply come to the Outer Reaches to build a base in the Outer Reaches.
They had relied on their high-quality high-grade materials to gradually open up a scene in the nearby cities. But a card master could multiply the value of the materials they had, and the profits were enough to make people jealous.
But high-grade card masters were a scarce resource, and the chamber of commerce's power in the city wasn't enough to attract such high-level talent.
No high-grade card master would want to go to such a desolate and dangerous place to develop.
The chamber of commerce had even prepared some pretty good specialized equipment for card masters ahead of time, but they were still sealed up in the warehouse and had never been touched.
Chen Mu moved quickly. Although he hadn't gone through any systematic training in materials science, he still had his own set of methods.
There weren't many materials he could use. In fact, there were quite a few good materials on the few transport shuttle cars in the team.
On the contrary, there were a few good harvests among the unknown materials.
Chen Mu's practiced movements were like floating clouds and flowing water, which immediately made Miss Xiao even more certain of her conjecture.
Bogner browsed through the card appliances and only took two glances. "Yikes, not bad. You can actually get a military-issued card appliance. It looks like this smuggling trail isn't deserted."
Miss Xiao revealed a charming smile. "It seems that this mister is very familiar with this path. May I know your name?
I'm really impolite! "
"Miss Xiao's voice is so charming!
My name is Bogner. When I was on this road before, there was no one who didn't know me! "Bogner looked at Miss Xiao lecherously, patting his chest loudly.
Jeeves looked at Bogner with disgust.
Known by everyone?
Why hadn't he heard of it before?
"Oh, the price isn't bad. Military stuff should be a bit more expensive." Bogner's gaze seemed to be desperately trying to drill into the snow-white collar of the other party.
Xi Ping immediately turned his head away, with "I don't know him" written all over his face.
Miss Xiao's expression was calm under Bogner's fiery gaze, and she always had a faint smile on her face. "Mr. Bogner is an expert after all. Our humble chamber of commerce's prices have always been fair, and we treat people with sincerity."
"Treat people with sincerity. Oh, that's what I like best!
You don't know, Miss Xiao, but I'm the most sincere person. From the inside to the outside, I'm full of sincerity! "Bogner moved closer, but his gaze couldn't help wanting to go down.
Miss Xiao's expression didn't change, as though she were tired from sitting and adjusting her body. She killed Bogner's intentions in the cradle, and she said with a sweet smile, "Then, Mr. Bogner, you must take good care of our business."
"Of course, of course."
Bogner kept nodding, and his gaze didn't leave Miss Xiao's face in the slightest as he said, "Hertha."
"Here, Boss." Hertha stepped out.
Bogner was staring at Miss Xiao with an intoxicated expression, but he was pointing at the fantasy cards in front of him. "You go pick some suitable ones."
"Yes, sir." Hertha didn't waste any words as he immediately lowered his head and started to pick.
"These guards of Mr. Bogner's are really well-trained. This is the first time I've seen card artisan guards with such strict discipline.
You're really awesome! "Miss Xiao's beautiful eyes were shining.
"Of course, of course!" Bogner was lecherous with an intoxicated look, completely oblivious to himself.
"Alright.
I'll take these. "Chen Mu stopped what he was doing and then handed over the materials he had chosen to Xi Ping.
Just then, Hertha opened his mouth. "You've chosen, Boss."
The final results were gathered in Xi Ping's hands. No one was more familiar with the work of haggling than he was.
Xi Ping glanced over and had a plan in mind.
"Miss Xiao, these are the items we've chosen. Give us a price." Xi Ping handed over the list in his hands to Miss Xiao.
Miss Xiao took Xi Ping's list and glanced over it. She quickly raised her head again in less than half a minute.
"The materials will be valued at five million Oudi. As for these card appliances, since they came from the military, we can't get any cheaper. We'll value them at eight million Oudi." The smile on Miss Xiao's face was as charming as ever.
A strange look flashed over Xi Ping's face.
That price... was really too low!
Xi Ping had taken over countless materials, which would be worth about 20 million on the market alone, not including some of the unknown materials.
The price of the military's smuggled card appliances was even higher, and they couldn't be bought without 15 million.
There was no such thing as a free lunch in the world. As an old hand in the business world, Xi Ping naturally understood that.
His expression became cautious. "Your honorable Chamber of Commerce would suffer quite a loss at that price.
I think Miss Xiao certainly has other ideas, and there's no harm in saying them all, so we can all discuss them. "
A harmless smile floated over the corner of Miss Xiao's mouth. "Mr. Xi is a sensible person, after all.
Indeed, our humble Chamber of Commerce would suffer quite a loss at that price.
So, I have a few small suggestions. "
"Small suggestions?
Ha ha, I'm afraid Miss Xiao's suggestions won't be small. "Xi Ping was a little playful.
Chen Mu was very curious as he watched the two of them go around in circles. As he saw it, that kind of technique was very esoteric and difficult to learn.
It was very difficult for him to learn that kind of speaking technique, but it was a pretty interesting thing to listen to from the side.
Miss Xiao chuckled softly. Her eyes sparkled, and her originally delicate eyebrows inadvertently carried a hint of charm.
"My first small request is that your honorable boss can explain a little about those materials that we don't recognize, so that we won't be unaware that we have precious jewels on us next time we run into them."
Xi Ping's gaze turned to Chen Mu, who needed the boss to decide.
Chen Mu thought about it for a moment and nodded, since it wasn't something that would be difficult to do.
Xi Ping understood, and his gaze turned to Miss Xiao. "What about my second small suggestion?"
Having gotten off to a good start, Miss Xiao was in a pretty good mood, looking all the more charming and moving. "My second small suggestion might be a little presumptuous.
If I haven't guessed wrong, your excellency is certainly a high-grade card master!
I would like to try and see if I can reach a deal with your excellency. "
Xi Ping's expression froze. She had actually been able to see through the boss's identity as a card master at a glance. That was really awesome!
Of course, she had misjudged the boss's level. In Xi Ping's and Bogner's minds, the boss was a grandmaster-grade card master.
"What kind of deal?" Xi Ping's tone remained calm, though his expression was already very cautious.
Miss Xiao said calmly, "I hope to be able to buy a batch of pretty good cards, preferably four-star ones. Of course, some three-star cards with outstanding performance would also be fine.
As for the method of payment, Oudi is fine, and if you need other materials or items, that would also be fine.
As for the price, please don't worry. We certainly won't let you suffer a loss. "
She then smiled mysteriously. "I've already wiped out the little tail behind each of your teams. Consider it a little bit of sincerity from our humble chamber of commerce."
Everyone felt a chill. The power of the Hughes Chamber of Commerce in the vicinity really wasn't ordinary.
Xi Ping's gaze couldn't help but turn back to the boss's face, since the decision on the matter was still in the boss's hands.
Chen Mu thought about it and shook his head. "I'm really sorry, but we won't be staying here for too long. We'll leave after a couple of days of rest."
It wasn't appropriate to stay there for long, and they would have to leave after a little reorganization.
The fastest way to get to the Heavenly Drum Village District was the best choice.
If they agreed to the deal, who knew how long they would be delayed?
Xi Ping shook his head. "I'm really sorry, but there's nothing we can do.
We'd better buy it at market price. "
Miss Xiao didn't hide the disappointment that flashed through her eyes as she stared at Chen Mu. "Wouldn't your excellency consider it? If it's about the price, I think we would certainly be able to satisfy you."
Chen Mu looked straight into her gaze and smiled apologetically. "I'm really sorry, Miss Xiao. It's not about the price."
The luster in Miss Xiao's eyes quickly dimmed.
Bogner, who hadn't been serious since then, suddenly opened his mouth. "Does Miss Xiao know Mark Hughes?"
