Chapter 70 Tang's Nail Armor
"This!" Relf wanted to speak, "It's not that there are no other products, it depends on whether Mr. Chebman dares to ask for it."
"There are other good things?" Chebmann was excited and patted his chest, "Is there anything I dare not want? Take it out and take it out and take a look."
"This!" Relf took out a piece of nailed leather armor like a magic trick.
Just one glance, Chebmann was attracted. He has been traveling around the world for many years, and although he has been unsatisfied, his only gain is that he has a wide range of knowledge and has trained a pair of good eyesight. He can see its extraordinaryness at first glance. It is not just the fine workmanship and gorgeous appearance, but its unique structure. He said with a little uncertainty: "Double-layer structure? Can you see it?"
"Mr. Chebman is indeed very good at seeing the wrong person. It seems that he has not found the wrong person this time." Relf gave a thumbs up and praised him without hesitation.
"Of course, there is no reason why the goods are not for the buyer to see? Mr. Chebmann can not only watch them, but also try them. The training grounds are ready, and all the bows, crossbows, swords and swords are available. Just try them casually. Forget it, to prevent fraud. I suggest Mr. Chebmann should use the weapons he brought, so that he can have a correct estimate of our goods."
Unlike ordinary salespersons, from beginning to end, Relf only threw out his leather armor and did not say a word of praise for his products. He only depends on the other party to see it himself. There is only one reason for doing this, that is, he has absolute confidence in his products.
"It's indeed a double-layer structure, no, it's three layers, um, not right, there's another layer of things inside, five layers, it's actually a five-layer structure. You actually made a leather armor with a five-layer structure. And such fine stitches are crazy, it's really crazy. How much manpower and material resources have you invested in a leather armor? How much labor is there? It's so crazy! Don't blame me for saying ugly things in front. If the price is too outrageous, I can't do it. After all, it's a leather armor. No matter how powerful it is, can it be better than iron armor?"
Seeing the end, Chebman's eyes were straightened and he kept muttering the word "crazy".
As the largest number of armors on the Ashain continent, leather armor wins by simple workmanship and cheapness. Most people make it by themselves, no matter it is rabbit skin, wolf skin, sheep skin, or cowhide. As long as it is tanned, it will be sewn together as a piece of leather armor.
Of course, this kind of thing with rough workmanship and low defense can only be used for its own use at best and cannot become a commodity. If it is sold to merchants, the price of the sale cannot keep up with the price of the materials used.
Although military leather armor is more sophisticated, it is also limited. Even nailed leather armor is very few, not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but the defense is relatively limited. If the cost is too high, the meaning of leather armor will be lost. You can directly replace the armor with stronger defense.
Therefore, the current leather armor is mostly sewn with large sections of raw materials. At most, the materials are used with more exquisite styles and exquisite workmanship.
The double-layer structure and even multi-layer structure leather armor are not without smart people's thoughts. The manpower and material resources are spent far more than the scale armor than the scale armor, but the weight is much higher, which is comparable to the plate armor, but the defense is not satisfactory, and the degree of bloating is destined to be inapplicable.
Chebman weighed it and found that the weight of this five-layer leather armor is indeed heavier than ordinary leather armor, but it is relatively limited, less than double, which is just half the armor, because his five layers are not all stacked from leather.
There are only two layers of real leather, or even less than two layers. The outermost layer is a layer of textile that is not hemp or silk, which is very sparse. It is not so much a textile, but more suitable for stitches sewn on the leather. There is another layer of this kind of thing inside, nailing the two layers of leather together firmly and closely sewn. The innermost layer is another layer of this unique textile, with multi-layered leather armor, mixed together.
Originally, Chebman didn't care about this strange textile. It was not until he took out his carry-on dagger to test the armor that he found that these three layers of textile were the core of this leather armor. His sharp dagger did not cut off the thin thread that was not much thicker than his hair. He involuntarily increased his strength and used 30% of his strength to cut off this inconspicuous little thing.
The entire pair of leather armor is full of pins made of these small things, and there are three layers in succession. How strong is the protection of arrows and chopping?
"What is this?" Chebman blurted out, "Is this kind of thing sold?"
"Trade Secret." Relf still smiled, "This is not a product, we only sell leather armor."
"I was the one who made a mistake." Chebman laughed. If he had such a good thing, he would never sell it easily.
Chebman couldn't wait to start the actual combat test, with bows, crossbows, swords, hammers and halberds... all eighteen weapons were put on.
It is similar to what Chebman predicted. This kind of leather armor has amazing defenses against bows, slashes, and assassinations. Even if it is a three-thorned hard bow, it cannot be completely penetrated from a close distance, and it is enough to be comparable to plate armor in this regard.
However, in front of heavy weapons such as warhammers and maces, they are a bit short of money. Not to mention that they are not as good as plate armor, they are relatively inferior to those of armor and scale armor.
Another defect is the fear of fire. It is very normal to have this defect. This is a common disease of skin armor, but its effect in keeping cold is enough to offset this.
"Good things are good things, but in terms of price." Chebman slammed his mouth and had already begun to estimate this kind of armor in his heart. It is certain that it is higher than ordinary leather armor, and it is even higher than ordinary armor. The performance is there.
In addition to having some advantages in blunt defense, the armor has been left eight streets, and its weight is only half of it. Even archers can wear it in a steadily manner. Some time ago, the Andes Mountains wandering whistle that made the Manyu Army leader spies frightened. They should be wearing this kind of armor.
But if the price is too high, it will not make much sense. The same thing is, after all, it is just a piece of leather armor. If the price is almost up to the plate armor, they can just put on a piece armor, and do they still need to buy this thing?
"One hundred Byron silver coins!"
"How many?" Chebmann asked with wide eyes.
"One hundred Byron silver coins is not dilute!" Relf repeated the accent.
"One hundred Byron silver coins? Are you kidding?" Chebman still looked incredible. He was not given to the town at a sky-high price, but it was too cheap.
Are there more coins in one hundred Byron?
Many are definitely astronomical numbers for ordinary people.
A small manor composed of ten farmers, all the surplus value created in a year is only three thousand silver coins, which is distributed to individuals, and the surplus value of a person a year is only dozens of Byron silver coins.
The price of a strong Andes Mountain slave has been floating around twenty Byron silver coins.
But it is really nothing to put on military supplies.
A high-quality cowhide can be made about ten silver coins. In the hands of a superb handmade cowhide, two high-quality cowhide armor can be made, and the price will double, and the transaction price of each piece will not be less than fifteen silver coins.
When you get to the mail, armor and scale armor, iron tools are involved, and the price soars. A piece of armor that can be used on the table can also get at least 120 pure Byron silver coins. If you replace it with mail and scale armor, the price will increase by 20 to 30%.
If it is plate armor, it will be even more terrifying. Without three or five hundred Byron silver coins, you can't get it down at all.
Chebman's highest price for it is 20% higher than that of mail and scales. If the price can be taken at the price of mail and scales, there will be some transactions. After all, the Manyu military leader does not produce iron ore.
Most of the armor either ordered finished products from Gemini Island or purchased iron ore from the Kingsley family in the Carter Hills area and forged it by themselves. In addition to the cost of the armor itself, it also had to add a high transportation fee, and the iron armor was always in short supply.
Even the direct descendants of the Feren family, who had the strongest military power, could not be equipped with iron armor for each person, let alone the local garrison, which had leather armor that supported the storefront. When the servants where Chebman was originally appointed, they would be equipped with a spear with a low-quality iron spearhead, they did not even have rotten leather armor, and they were real cannon fodder.
Unexpectedly, the price that Relf blurted out was 20% lower than that of Zhajia. This was simply a big pie that fell from the sky. As long as it was transported back to Manyujun to take it, Chebman dared to pat his chest and said that 150 silver coins would be snatched from countless people.
This is a huge profit of 50%. Even if you eliminate all costs and various tax commissions, each item can eventually bring him nearly ten silver coins. This is definitely the most profitable transaction he has ever done in his life.
Chebman felt his head was a little congested and dizzy, but his brain was the fastest in his life. The first thought that flashed through his mind was whether the other party was not clear about the prices outside.
Not only is the price of honey set quite low, but now even the positioning of the rare armor that is so popular is so low. If this is the case, can you gain more benefits from it?
Chebman coughed lightly, instinctively a little bit of a businessman's pretentious behavior, "That's the price..."
Relf, who had been smiling, seemed to have understood Chebman's thoughts, and his face suddenly pulled down and said coldly: "I have just said that one hundred Byron silver coins are not the same. Don't think that we set this price because we don't know how to do it. Instead, we do business and trade based on the principle of mutual benefit, leaving you with sufficient profits and giving you more motivation. If we treat our good words as weak and bullied, then I'm sorry, our cooperation will be terminated. There are more than one person who has received goods from me, and there are a lot of people who are interested and interested."
"It's so heavy! It's so heavy!" Years of business have long polished the simple boy of that year into a slut. When it comes to his mouth, it made a 180-degree turn. "I mean the price is very fair and reasonable. We have been working together for half a year. Doesn't Mr. Relf understand me yet? I'm not such a greedy person! Our transactions are definitely carried out on the principle of mutual benefit."
"You are the most greedy person I have ever seen." Relf sneered in his heart, but there is one advantage in cooperating with such a real villain. In the face of interests, the other party usually has no bottom line and does not care about your skin color at all. As long as it can bring benefits to him, he will treat you as a master.
The situation is the opposite. When you are useless to him, such people usually give you the wrong way.
