  Chapter 15 Moving

"I know it might be difficult, but I still hope that you can find a way to provide me with enough sugar as much as possible, oh, and this kind of chocolate! Half of these golds are my thanks to you, and the other Half of it is regarded as a deposit. I don't care about the actual price of sugar you buy, but I will buy it at the price of 5 ounces per pound, how about it?" Daenerys said solemnly.

   After all, she is a queen-like character. Although she is still young, she has already experienced many hardships, and she is not some ignorant little Baihua.

  Daenerys is well aware of the importance of sugar.

  If it is said that powerful guns can help her conquer the enemy by force, then sugar is the guarantee of the combat effectiveness of her army and an important material to win over allies.

   When she fights back to Westeros, if she wants to win over a certain lord and nobleman, sending white sugar of equal weight is definitely a hundred times better than sending gold of equal weight.

   As for the price of 5 ounces per pound, it is also a figure calculated by Daenerys based on the crude sugar lumps in her own world.

  There is no doubt that white sugar of this quality must be low based on the price of inferior sugar in Westeros.

  But Daenerys can also guess that the price of white sugar in Josie's world may not be cheap, but it is definitely not as high as Westeros.

  She is not guessing for no reason, but a conclusion based on the guns that Josie sold her before.

Why? Because metal!

  During World War II, the industrial level of the earth had reached a very advanced level, and the steel produced was naturally incomparable with the special steel of later generations, but compared with the Middle Ages, it was simply heaven and earth.

  When Josie first recommended firearms to Daenerys, she was only interested in the power of firearms.

   But after getting the real gun, she is not only interested in the gun itself, but also the metal that makes the gun and the bullet.

When she traded with Josie for the first time and got the .38, Daenerys had already tested it. The best weapons used by her warriors could only barely leave a small amount of damage on the gun. scratches without causing any damage to it.

   After careful observation, it is discovered that the so-called scratches are actually just scratches on the unknown coating on the outside of the gun body... This gun is nickel-plated.

  Such a strong steel can be said to be no less than the legendary Valyrian steel.

  In Westeros, the price of this level of steel is several times more expensive than gold.

  Even like the Yitian Sword and the Dragon Saber in martial arts novels, they cannot be bought with money at all.

   And how much does a handful of .38 weigh? More than a kilogram.

   Even if the non-metallic part is excluded, it will not be less than 30 ounces when converted into imperial unit ounces.

  The price Josie sold her, plus a bonus book on the monarch, was only 10 ounces of gold.

   Not to mention the later M1917 rifle, with a total weight of 8 kilograms, and the wooden handle is removed, not less than two kilograms, and it also comes with 100 rounds of bullets.

   And whether it is .38 or M1917 bullets, they are all made of refined copper.

  So although the price has tripled, Daenerys is not losing money at all.

Even if Josie doesn’t sell her bullets someday, these guns will not become what Josie thinks are fire sticks. Daenerys can make up for all the losses just by recycling the steel and the shell casings left by the bullets. And make a fortune.

  And there is no situation where the recycled steel cannot be used.

  It is true that steelmaking requires high productivity, but if it is just recasting, the difficulty is much lower.

  Like Valyrian steel, the people of Westeros cannot forge it, but it is not difficult to recast the weapons that Valyria just made.

  So Josie had always thought that she had taken advantage of it.

   But in fact he is only on the third layer, and Daenerys has already reached the atmosphere.

   This is one of the greatest advantages of plane trading.

   Now, Daenerys is also using this information gap to give her own estimated sugar price.

   Facing Daenerys' offer, Josie was undoubtedly moved.

  Is white sugar expensive? $2 a pound is certainly expensive.

   And if you want to trade in large quantities, it is impossible at this price, because it is difficult to get ration coupons.

  So you can only go to the black market to buy.

  The price of sugar on the black market is at least five dollars a pound.

  However, this price is still extremely cheap compared to Daenerys' quotation for 5 ounces of gold (80% purity), which is 250 US dollars per pound.

  A full 50 times the profit. The M1917 rifle he sold before was barely 25 times the profit.

  This business is worth doing!

   "I can try my best, but I can't guarantee the quantity." Josie thought about it, and immediately agreed, but he dared to talk too much, after all, it is the most strictly controlled material.

   "It doesn't matter, it's enough to do your best." Daenerys also knew that this matter was not so easy.

   After talking about what they wanted to talk about, the two said goodbye and ended the communication.

  After finishing the communication, Josie looked at the another hundred gold bars in the system warehouse, and his heart was surging again.

  Although I see gold every day in the past few days, the wealth I get from each transaction is more than the last time.

   This feeling is wonderful.

  That is to say, it is all gold. If it were exchanged for US dollars, Josie would have the heart to take out one of them and imitate Little Ma's cigarette lighting.

  Of course, this is just thinking about it. First of all, Josie doesn’t smoke. On the other hand, although Xiao Ma is very chic with money to light cigarettes, he is printing counterfeit money, and the money used to light cigarettes is also counterfeit.

   Soon, the night passed.

  The next day, Josie got up late, and the plan changed again.

Originally, this morning, he was planning to go to various gun stores to buy more guns. After all, his original money would not be much left after paying the house payment, so he had no way to stock up, so he planned to buy some guns in the morning, and then talk to Dan. Neris made an appointment to make a deal at noon.

  But because of the sugar thing, he got a thousand ounces of gold out of thin air, so naturally he didn't have to worry so much.

What? Half of it is a deposit?

   Just kidding, put it in Josie's pocket, and want him to take it back? It's just less than a hundred catties of white sugar, even if he buys it up on the black market, he still has to get it together!

   I casually ate some bread and milk in stock to pad my stomach, and then started to pack my things.

   There are not many things to pack, because most of the more important things have already been put into the system warehouse by Josie, so I just randomly put some clothes in the box.

   What's more, he specially prepared a delicate wooden box, and put fifty gold bars in it.

   All that remains is to wait for Margot's arrival.
