"Thirty is certainly possible. May I ask what the guest will use to pay? Gold, silver, gemstones, or wood?"
"gem."
Fomera took out a bag and placed it on the table, gesturing for Cui Laosi to open it himself.
Old Cui opened a small opening, and his eyes lit up immediately. He suppressed his greed, took out a portion, and pushed the rest back.
"We don't need that many. If the customer is satisfied with the price, we'll load them onto the ship right away."
Looking at the jewel pouch that had returned to her hands, Fomala was first surprised, then delighted, and said, "You are truly generous, sir. If I wanted three hundred... do you have any?"
Old Cui's eyes lit up instantly. "I have the goods, I can give them to you right away, but... you don't have enough gems..."
Fomala smiled and said, "These gems are certainly not enough, but I think adding this should be enough."
A sandalwood box was pulled from Fomera's chest and placed in the center of the table. Fomera opened it himself and gestured for Cui Laosi to examine it.
"Old Liu, have your manager come over and take a look... Never mind, no need to look."
Before anyone else could react, Cui Laosi grabbed the box and stuffed it into his pocket, then grabbed Fomaila's hand: "I...I'll give you three suits of armor...full suits of iron armor."
Fomala's ship was a two-masted fast ship, which, not counting the cabins, could barely hold all of Daxia's cargo. Even his private cabin was piled high with goods, and under his bottom sat three very ordinary wooden crates containing three sets of high-ranking plate armor that Fomala found incredibly tempting.
"Old Cui! We brothers have been in Southeast Asia for months. We're tired of seafood and we've fought battles, but we haven't even opened a business yet! How about you help us out?" Several close pioneers teased Old Cui, looking at his bulging chest.
“This Southeast Asia is at least 7,000 miles from my hometown, if not 10,000. I, Old Cui, am from a prominent place, and people from prominent places should naturally help each other. How do you want me to help? Let’s make a plan.”
"We...we wanted to spread the news that the people of Palembang had bought arms, but we feel somewhat ashamed. In our Great Xia, we value sincerity and honesty in business, and we should consider the buyer's interests. But this is Southeast Asia, isn't it?........You see..."
“Look at everyone, what kind of business are we in? It’s the prince’s business. ‘If we don’t start a war, how can we make a fortune?’ As long as Yachi and Jambi buy the weapons, that Palembang thing… the prince will come back.”
"Hehehe..." A group of men let out lewd laughter, their expressions and postures resembling a flock of carnivorous vultures.
