The Dark King - Chapter 261

Chapter 261

Rosie giggled: "Mr Dean I took the liberty to come over to mainly greet and congratulate you . You have just joined the Temple but were able to create a top grade four star idem . It is the thing that we as Scott consortium admire and respect . We were misled by master Celsus's evaluation and thought that your work is a three-star research . But we didn't think that master Celsus's eyes has become old and can't see the real value . He has underestimated your work . "

Dudian smiled: "I would not dare to say so . Master Celsus didn't check the research in-depth but took a look and evaluated in less than an hour . Being able to assess the work and giving such an evaluation is the thing that we should admire . "

Rosie looked at him: "Mr . Dean didn't promise to sell the rights to me earlier which was a wise move . Right now we as Scott consortium have come to a decision to offer you price of top grade four-star item for military crossbow . What do you think?"

Dudian didn't expect her to give the highest possible price: "But your consortium is going to suffer with this transaction . "

"We are not going to make a loss . " Rosie laughed: "We will just earn a bit less . Moreover we are showing our sincerity as the consortium . We have cooperated in the past so we are old acquaintances . A little more concessions would not hurt us . "

Rosie had natural abilities to make people quite easy and feel good just by talking . However Dudian still hadn't forgotten about falsification of accounts and books by the Scott Consortium . So he wasn't at ease: "I will think about the offer . "

Rosie was confused: "Are you satisfied by the offer?"

Dudian slightly shook his head: "I have to think with the old patriarch of the Ryan family . I was previously employed as a hunter by their family . Moreover they bailed me out from the prison . Although according to the terms of the hunter contract they don't ask for the right of my research but I can't forget the kindess they have shown towards me . "

Rosie had full information about Dudian's background . She was well aware of the few years of the experience he had in the prison . After she heard his argument she knew that he had told the appropriate thing . For a moment she couldn't find the right words to tell . After thinking for a bit she quickly said: "Mr Dean you should be aware of the financial situation of the Ryan family better than us . Even if you gifted the product to them, they don't have the ability to produce the product in bulk . Ultimately they would be looking for business parterns for cooperation to manufacture the crossbow . I can promise you that if you sell us the right for sales and manufacturing of the crossbow then we can give a share to Ryan family from the future profits . "

Dudian didn't think that this girl had so much rights in the consortium that she could promise such a big concession on the spot . He pretended to be pondering the issue and after a moment said: "I don't want to be rude but I'll talk this thing with Old Fulin and afterward decided about the issue . "

Rosie didn't expect that Dudian would hesitate even after such a condition was given out . Her face slightly change: "That being the case if the old patriarch agrees to sale then Mr Dean please consider the Scott consortium as the first option . If you have any other needs then let me know . I can go back to the consortium and make sure that they are satisfied . "

"Thank you . " Dudian replied .

Rosie saw that there was no intention to agree on Dudian's face . She knew about the matter which could affect their deal but she wasn't able to do anything to change the predictament . However she wasn't going to throw the towel just like that . Rosie continued: "Mr Dean please tell Old Fulin that if he agrees then our consortium is willing to make an alliance with New World consortium . "

Dudian's eyelids twitched for a moment but his heartbeat quietened down as he thought through . Alliance wa certainly the most powerful form of cooperation that New World consortium needed . But in practice Scott consortium would not ally themselves with New World consortium on equal rights . If it was going to be a unequal treaty then the meaning of the 'alliance' would lose its purpose greatly .

"I'll make sure that Old patriarch of the Ryan family is aware of Scott consortium's intentions . " Dudian answered .

Rosie sighed but she suddenly thought of something . She whispered: "By the way I would like to reveal some news to you that I got my hands on . The market in the Pine town is not founded by Mellon consortium but Burong family alone . It's purpose wasn't to pressure New World consortium but they are plotting against you . The market in the Pine town would suppress through economic means but they would find an insider who would get close to Ryan family . Afterwards their aim is to trap you and make sure that your reputation is damaged . "

"Reputation?" Dodian eyes light, looked at her .

"As Burong family would use economic means through the Pine town to pressure on Ryan family some other wealthy family will step up to help Ryan family . They will get to have close relationship with Ryan family and you . Afterwards they will design a series of traps for you to fall in . As far as I know you and Burong family's young miss Jenny had a past . The purpose of the patriarch Rudolph's move is not to frame and imprison you but to discredit . He wants his daughter to completely give up on you . "

Dudian silently looked at her: "Scott consortium is quite well-informed . The intelligence network is top notch!"

Rosie smiled: "We are enemies with the Mellon consortium so naturally check their every move . In the future regardless if you are willing to sell us the right for the crossbow I will pass you information if Burong family tries to frame you or Mellon consortium tries to suppress New World Consortium . "

Dudian looked at Rosie . She was sent to to the business in Scott consortium's stead and she indeed had commendable ability . Although he took into account that Scott consortium had falsified books but her current behavior influenced him too . He was no longer a child . He knew that any goodwill shown to him had to be repaid with kindness . It was the rule of the jungle and the fittest survived in these conditions . But fittest doesn't mean that the one who got most benefits on spot .

"Thank you!" Dudian once again thanked her .

Rosie was about to leave but she saw the black metal objects at the back of the room . She hesitated: "Mr Dean, are you creating a new item?"

Dudian saw that she had noticed the lightning rod . He replied: "Yes . "

Rosie surprised: "Those seem to be . . . metal bars . Are you not from the wood element faction? Is your new item will have metal elements used?"

Dudian smiled: "You will know when it is out . "

Rosie saw that Dudian wasn't going to disclose the details: "Mr Dean can I book the rights to buy this new item at the price of a three-star item?" However there was regret in her heart as she uttered the offer . Although Dudian had produce a four star product but who knew what the new item was? Even the most famous masters would produce one star or two star items most of the time . Occasionally their research results would be assessed as three or four star items . As for the production of five-star item then it was a rare thing for a master to produce in a decade .

Dudian shook his head: "The price is too low . If you offer the price of a five-star item then I promise that Scott consortium will get the product . "

"Uh, oh . . . " Rosie almost choked . She smiled: "Mr dean, you are humorous . "

Dudian shrugged his shoulders .

Rosie bid farewell and left out helplessly .

Dudian closed the door and narrowed his eyes as he thought about the information that Rosie had provided . He didn't expect the purpose of Pine town market was buried so deep . It was possible that it was made up by Rosie after all he couldn't verify the validity of the information . But the plan seemed like the style of Burong family . From an objective point of view he could fully understand the way Rudolph acted . But from his own perspective he couldn't tolerate such a move again .

"Mellon consortium, Burong family, Mel family . " Dudian gently rubbed his fingers as he thought about the issue .

That night

Dudian carriage went back to Ryan family .

Old Fulin asked: "You have refused Rosie . Did you tell her about our assumptions about false accounting of the revenue of new textile machine?

"No . " Dudian leaned against the chair and rubbed his temple . "There is no meaning to fiddle in the past . "

Old Fulin was relieved: "We have no evidence and its only guesses . Even if we voice out our suspicion we won't get compensation . It is pointless . "

Dudian closed his eyes: "What about other consortia?"

"In the afternoon people sent by military, Green consortium and Huasheng consortium had come over to discuss the rights for your crossbow . The prices and conditions given by them were almost same as with Scott consortium . After the assessment was made they didn't have chance but the increase the price of the offers . Moreover, I have inquired about the battle that is happening in the border . The barbars are very active and your crossbow will come handy in such a situation . Most probably your crossbow got top grade evaluation because it was produced at time when the war was getting more intensive . "
