"But what do you mean by 'other payment methods'?"
Zhang Feng asked with some curiosity.
"For example, I can trade you with the rare mineral veins on Mount More."
The person in charge of the psychedelic museum gave a confident smile.
A mineral vein is a very valuable thing, especially a rare mineral. Its value is at least over 100,000 gold coins. Of course, the mine cannot be too small.
He didn't believe that Zhang Feng wasn't tempted.
But unfortunately, Zhang Feng was not very interested. When he heard it was a mine, he was a little disappointed.
Zhang Feng was stunned. He asked doubtfully, "Did you give too much?"

"Ten thousand gold coins! How dare you ask for that, little brother!"
As for Delia, Zhang Feng thought about it carefully after returning yesterday. This woman is not to be messed with! Not to mention how difficult it is for her to become the mayor of More City, just the fact that her family has so many gold coins shows that she is not an ordinary person. Her family can give her so many gold coins, so her background is probably a bit scary.
Although people can be hired to mine, it is a long-term task. Sometimes mining may take hundreds of years. There will be a lot of troubles afterwards anyway, and Zhang Feng does not trust them.
Ten thousand gold coins are really not much. I dare not say anything else. If this business is established and the scale is large enough, it should be no problem to make a profit of tens of thousands of gold coins every month. Moreover, this is a long-term business! However, if Delia is unwilling, Zhang Feng will not force her. The knowledge in his mind is not cheap. Without ten thousand gold coins, Zhang Feng will not sell it at all.
The person in charge of the Hall of Maze was a little confused and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Previously, Zhang Feng acquired the ability of "Alchemy". In addition to being able to turn other non-gold objects into gold at a certain price, he also had a small ability, which was that as soon as he touched the gold, he could tell the other party's volume, density, weight, etc.
Zhang Feng agreed. It would be even better if the transaction could be done with gold coins.
He just earned 100,000 gold coins from me, and he still says he’s poor?
"We each get half. According to your plan, we can get our money back in a month at the latest. By then, let alone 100,000 gold coins, we can get 1 million gold coins or even 10 million gold coins!"
Seeing that her seduction failed, Delia started her money offensive, but unfortunately, Zhang Feng still didn't fall for it.
Seeing that the conversation was almost over, Zhang Feng stood up and said goodbye. The soldiers came in again and lifted the 1.5 tons of gold onto the steam car.
"Ahem, we are still very interested in this car. Now it's just a question of price. How about Mr. Zhang Feng take a rest first, and we will discuss it and give you a reply later."
"Then tell me, what can you do to help me run this horse-drawn carriage?"
"this……"
"The density is about the same... The weight is about 1.65 tons... Hmm? 1.65? Shouldn't it be 1.5? The extra... 10,000 gold coins?"
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Zhang Feng decided to stay away from her.
"good."
"Okay, it's your turn."
This lump of gold looks larger than a household microwave oven, about the size of two microwave ovens.
Of course, Zhang Feng would naturally teach these soldiers driving skills. As for whether they could learn it in a short period of time, Zhang Feng felt that it would not be a big problem.
"good!"
To be the mayor of More City, one must have some means. Delia has always left them with the impression of being very ruthless. This attitude towards Zhang Feng today is the first time they have seen it.
Zhang Feng originally thought that he would have to wait for a long time, but he didn't expect that it would only be about ten minutes before Delia and everyone else came out.
Delia confronted Zhang Feng directly.
It is certain that you can make money, but as to whether it is as profitable as Zhang Feng said, she is not sure.
Zhang Feng has always been the one making promises for others. He is the best at it. How could he be fooled by Delia?
This second ability may seem insignificant, but it can be very useful sometimes, like now.
Delia's expression was neither sad nor happy, as if she didn't feel sorry for the 100,000 gold coins at all.
But for Zhang Feng, it's useless.
One gold coin in this world weighs about 15 grams. One hundred thousand gold coins would be 1,500 kilograms, or 1.5 tons of gold. The density of gold is 19.32 grams per cubic centimeter, which is about 19 times that of water.
"Yes, I want this plan!"
When Zhang Feng heard Delia's words, he knew that the other party did it on purpose. So there was only one possibility, that she wanted to buy his "carriage rental plan".
But no one thought too much about it. After all, everyone may have several faces. Maybe Delia was just pretending to be someone else in order to gain Zhang Feng's trust.
Zhang Feng spoke somewhat helplessly.
"Because 100,000 gold coins are a lot and it takes a lot of time to count them, I will just use gold instead. Is that okay?"
Delia pulled the black cloth apart, and a hint of gold appeared in Zhang Feng's eyes. A large square piece of gold was wrapped tightly.
But Zhang Feng actually refused. Although Delia didn't know why, she knew that she still had a chance to save herself.
"Okay, then pay quickly. One hand pays the other hand delivers the goods."
Delia was so angry that her teeth were itching. This Zhang Feng was really stubborn.
This conversation lasted more than an hour.
This was the first time Delia had seen someone asking for such a high price. Did he really think her gold coins were not money?
Then they followed Zhang Feng back to the hotel. After sending Zhang Feng back to the hotel, the car no longer belonged to Zhang Feng.
Zhang Feng smiled and signaled with his eyes, and Delia immediately ordered all the soldiers to retreat.
"Huh? You don't want the mineral vein? I haven't even told you what kind of mineral it is!"
"You just said it yourself. If this business is successful, we can make a profit of 100,000, 1,000, or even 10 million gold coins. I'm not greedy. I only want 10,000 gold coins."
Zhang Feng naturally didn't know what Delia was thinking. He just wanted to take the money and leave.
Delia lowered her head and couldn't see her toes. Didn't the little boy like this?
Zhang Feng repeated to her exactly what she had just said, leaving Delia speechless for a moment.
Although she didn't understand how Zhang Feng did it, that wasn't the point. Since Delia had decided to do this, she naturally couldn't give up halfway. She had to get this plan! Even if the price made her feel a little distressed.
Delia took Zhang Feng into the castle to draw up a contract. The crowd gradually dispersed, and soon Zhang Feng and Delia were left outside the city.
Zhang Feng simply stretched out a finger and spoke in a relaxed tone.
Zhang Feng was not used to Delia being so close to him, but considering the business worth 100,000 gold coins, Zhang Feng didn't bother with her about these small issues.
"Mr. Zhang Feng, I bought this car."
“You can actually see that!”
Delia, who was a little anxious on the side, suddenly brightened up. When she heard that the person in charge of the Maze Hall was going to exchange the mine with Zhang Feng, her face looked very unhappy.
Zhang Feng was about to sign the contract when Delia suddenly stopped him.
In fact, she wanted to do this business with Zhang Feng. Besides the fact that she was reluctant to part with the gold coins, there was a more important reason. She felt that this idea was actually proposed by Zhang Feng, and he must have a more perfect plan. If Zhang Feng was involved, it would definitely be much simpler.
Whether it is gold coins or gold, as long as it is something valuable, Zhang Feng doesn’t care so much.
Zhang Feng didn't explain too much and just refused decisively.
Zhang Feng was surprised. Why did Delia suddenly change her attitude? Did she really like it so much? Did she have to buy it? The others were surprised because they had never seen the city lord so calm.
It’s not that he thinks the mineral vein is not valuable. On the contrary, the mineral is very valuable, not to mention that he is talking about a rare mineral. But Zhang Feng doesn’t want this.
"Apart from the mines, is there anything else?"
Delia: “…”
"mean!"
This distrust is multifaceted. In addition to distrust of their character, there is also distrust of their technology. Zhang Feng does not have time to guide them on how to mine reasonably.
Although the body fragrance on the tip of his nose made Zhang Feng feel a little itchy, Zhang Feng, who had great self-control, remained unmoved.
It's not that Zhang Feng is reluctant to part with the 100,000 gold coins, but he just earned 100,000 from Delia, and Delia wants to go back immediately? Impossible! The money in Zhang Feng's hands is not so easy to take out.
"Um?"
The person in charge of the Hall of Ecstasy looked incredulous.
"Okay, I'll be frank. I'm going to invest 200,000 gold coins in this business. If my brother gets involved, we can each invest 100,000. You don't have to worry about the business. I have my own people. You just need to give me some advice."
Zhang Feng took his hand away without leaving a trace and quickly signed his name on the contract.
Delia didn't say anything else and signed it happily.
"Rent a carriage? How do you want to cooperate?"
Zhang Feng didn’t know what agreement they had reached, but since Delia was willing to buy it, there was no reason for Zhang Feng not to sell it.
Delia still didn't give up, she even tried to provoke him.
Although Zhang Feng likes to make money, he disdains to do things like taking advantage of small opportunities.
When they returned to the castle, a servant came to take Zhang Feng inside to rest, but Zhang Feng refused. He said he could just stay in the car, which was warmer than the castle.
“…”
"you……"
Zhang Feng refused directly.
This time it was Delia's turn to be shocked. In her eyes, Zhang Feng just looked at the lump of gold, patted it, and then he could tell how much it was?
"Forget it, I'm poor."
Zhang Feng was not in a hurry to leave, so he told the story about renting a carriage again. Of course, there were some differences from the previous content. Simply put, it was more detailed. Zhang Feng mentioned many things that Delia had not expected. Delia also asked questions from time to time. For the sake of gold coins, as long as it was about renting a carriage, Zhang Feng would naturally answer all of them.
Before Delia finished speaking, she saw Zhang Feng's contemptuous look.
Zhang Feng placed the gold on the pile of gold, and some data instantly appeared in his mind.
Soon, several soldiers with sweat on their foreheads came over, carrying something tightly tied with hemp rope. It was covered with a piece of black cloth. Zhang Feng didn't understand what it was at first.
There are two mineral veins on Mount More, both of which belong to the Hall of Ecstasy. No matter which one it is, it can be said to be priceless. If it were her, it would probably be difficult for her to refuse such a condition after hearing it, because the mineral veins represent an endless source of wealth!
Originally, Zhang Feng thought that business cooperation was something he could consider, but when he heard that Delia wanted 100,000 gold coins, he knew that the deal could not be done.
This surprised Zhang Feng. He didn't know what Delia had said to convince everyone so quickly.
Delia leaned over and spoke softly in Zhang Feng's ear.
Seeing that Delia stopped talking, Zhang Feng shrugged.
Delia wanted to give him a beating.
Zhang Feng did not feel reluctant about this. After all, it was just a small car. Not to mention that he already had another one, there was a bigger one outside.
The more she thought about the idea Zhang Feng had mentioned before, the more feasible it seemed to her. However, because Zhang Feng's explanation was not comprehensive and there were many things he hadn't mentioned, she was a little undecided.
"you say."
But unexpectedly, Zhang Feng directly refused.
"I have asked someone to prepare the gold coins. After all, it will take a while to count 100,000 gold coins... I suddenly have an idea. Do you want to hear it?"
Delia called a maid and whispered something in her ear. Zhang Feng didn't care what she said. The maid nodded and left.
That's why she wanted to get Zhang Feng to join in, but unexpectedly, Zhang Feng refused to agree.
Zhang Feng didn't intend to waste time with her.
"Sorry little brother, I suddenly thought of something. You said before that we could trade in other ways, so how about I exchange my business?"
He didn't even look at Delia, and Delia suddenly felt a little frustrated.
She was getting a little impatient.
"This is about 110,000 gold coins, which is different from the 100,000 gold coins we talked about before. Are you planning to buy the strategy for renting carriages?"
This business is definitely a profitable business. If the other party is sincere enough, Zhang Feng would also mind cooperating. Mining is troublesome, but doing business is very simple.
"Gold? Of course!"
"Sister, I'm a little short of funds recently..."
After all, this thing has very few functions and is not difficult to operate. Plus, there are hardly any cars on the road, so a novice driver should have no problem using it.
"You were the one who came up with this business. You're not just talking about it. It's not that profitable at all!"
"Is it really because of old age? No more new gravity?"
"I think the thing you mentioned before about renting a horse carriage is quite interesting. Are you interested in working with me?"
When there was no one else around, Delia liked to call Zhang Feng "little brother" and her behavior was quite casual.
Zhang Feng handed the quill to Delia.
"Good, wise choice!"
And during this hour, Delia slowly felt that her ten thousand dollars was not a loss!
So this piece of gold the size of a microwave oven actually weighs 1.5 tons? Zhang Feng was a little unsure for a moment. This was the first time he had seen such a lump of gold. It didn't look like a lot, but how could it be so heavy? However, he wasn't stupid enough to try it, otherwise it would be embarrassing if he couldn't lift it.
Delia's words surprised everyone.
Because he was about to leave More City, there was no use for him to have this mine!
"It's good to make money, but I'm poor and can't afford to invest."
"Ten thousand gold coins. Give me ten thousand gold coins and I'll tell you the complete plan of 'renting a carriage'."
"don't want."
As she spoke, Delia gently squeezed Zhang Feng's hand.
Moreover, everyone stood obediently behind Delia, seemingly no longer prepared to compete.
Zhang Feng naturally didn't have to worry about things like training drivers. After he put the heavy lump of gold back into the space, it was time to prepare to leave.
As soon as I entered the door, I met the red-faced Ox-Horned Lady.
Today, Ox-Horned Lady changed her clothes. She was no longer wearing the rustic clothes she used to wear. Instead, she was wearing a black dress. I don't know if it belonged to the Fox-Eared Lady or the Wolf-Eared Lady. Zhang Feng estimated that it was most likely the Wolf-Eared Lady's because Ox-Horned Lady and the Fox-Eared Lady didn't get along well.
They have similar body shapes and can wear each other's clothes.
But after the ox-horned girl put it on, she looked completely different from them.
