The Strongest Lu Bu's Sweeping Thousands of Armies

Chapter 340 Two Bargaining Heroes

Lu Bu was dragged by Yuan Shao to sit down again.

He looked at Yuan Shao with a grim expression, "What do you mean by not letting me go at first?"

"What else can I mean, isn't it that I want to have a good discussion with Fengxian and give you Yuzhou, what can you give me?" Yuan Shao smiled sincerely.

After sneering twice, Lu Bu said, "If I thought Yuzhou was a disadvantage to me at the beginning, it would be better than this. All the benefits from Cao Mengde's hands, except Yuzhou belongs to you, and everything else belongs to me. What do you think?"

"Then how can it be..." Yuan Shao said with a somewhat ugly face: "Fengxian should know that the first thing Cao Mengde will deal with is you, and the one who bargains with me is the most useless person."

"Are you blackmailing me?" Lu Bu asked Yuan Shao.

"If I don't admit to the threat, Fengxian will definitely not believe it." Yuan Shao replied: "If you say threat, then it is a threat. I just ask Fengxian to understand that it is impossible to reach a peace agreement with me and attack Cao Cao together. You are the one who benefits."

Lu Bu frowned and thought for a while, then asked Yuan Shao, "What kind of benefits did you think I should give you?"

His tone was a little loose, and Yuan Shao immediately said: "Yuzhou can be given to Fengxian, but I want your coal mine..."

"That can't be done!" Lu Bu rebuffed flatly, "Even if I exchanged ten and a hundred Yuzhous at the beginning, I would not give you the coal mines."

"Fengxian misunderstood." Yuan Shao said embarrassingly: "What I want is the coal produced by Fengxian Coal Mine, but the price of buying coal is half cheaper than buying coal from merchants."

"Half?" Lu Bu stared: "How can there be such a light thing? Do you think I don't need money to mine coal?"

"The merchants have a lot of firepower. If you buy coal at half of their price, Fengxian shouldn't lose much." Yuan Shao obviously didn't expect Lu Bu to react like this, and asked with a look of astonishment: "Could it be that Fengxian's cost is higher than that of coal?" Is it higher to sell to merchants?"

"To be honest, coal is costly and profitable, and I have to invest a lot of money in it before mining it." Lu Bu said: "Even if it has been mined, I still have to think about how to prevent the coal mine from collapsing, flooding, and gas explosions..."

Lu Bu named many mine disasters in one breath, and blinked Yuan Shao's eyes, but he couldn't tell whether what he said was true or not.

"What Fengxian means is..." Yuan Shao asked uncertainly, "The coal sold by merchants is actually not very profitable?"

"It's really not much." Lu Bu said, "I've also learned about their prices, but it's just a [-]% increase when the coal comes out of the mine."

Yuan Shao was stunned. He thought the profit of coal was ridiculously high. After all, only Lu Bu has coal mines in the world. It's not that other places don't want to mine, but they don't know where there is coal and how to mine it.

To his surprise, Lu Bu actually said that the profit of coal was so thin that even he couldn't believe it.

"Selling Fengxian to merchants should make a profit." Yuan Shao said, "Even if it can't be half the price, it should be more or less..."

"Eighty percent of the merchant's price." Lu Bu replied, "I can only give you so much."

"Seventy percent!" People always have the mentality of greed for small profits, and Yuan Shao is no exception. He proposed a ratio that he thought was unacceptable to Lu Bu.

"This...is too little..." In fact, the profit of coal is extremely lucrative, and Yuan Shao gave this price, but Lu Bu still said with a embarrassed face: "Do you want to add a little more at the beginning?"

PS: Tomorrow, July [-]st, we will start to compete for the gold list. Lu Bu will not let you down in July
