Lake Bottom.
In the Cabin.
"The Iron Ore you mentioned is this?" Yang Kai stared at the iron ore piled up before him like a mountain, his mouth parting despite himself, and lake water instantly flooded into his mouth.
"That's right, these are the ones!" Jiang Ning nodded. "I wonder if what Shopkeeper Yang just said still counts?"
"This..." Yang Kai immediately hesitated.
With just one glance, he knew that if the Iron Ore before him was calculated at market price, it would be worth at least more than ten thousand taels of silver.
Ten thousand taels of silver—even with the Weapon Forging Shop's business over these years, it would be very hard to produce so easily in a short while.
If they withdrew ten thousand taels of silver in liquid funds on short notice, the Weapon Forging Shop might even run out of working capital because of it.
"What? Could it be that Shopkeeper Yang wants to go back on his word?" Jiang Ning said.
Yang Kai looked at Jiang Ning then, only to see that Jiang Ning's expression was calm, without the slightest ripple. He also could not see through Jiang Ning's inner thoughts at all.
He pondered for the span of a breath, thinking of Old Gong's attitude toward Jiang Ning earlier.
Then he thought of Jiang Ning's previous performance.
At once, Yang Kai nodded and said, "As I am now the Head Shopkeeper of the Weapon Forging Shop, I represent the face of the Weapon Forging Shop! Since I have spoken, I naturally will not go back on my word!"
Jiang Ning said, "Then do we still need to discuss the price? After all, this iron ore is in a ship sunk at the bottom. To transport it up will require manpower and resources!"
"No need!"
