Chapter 804: Materials Trade
This cooperation was primarily based on an exchange of supplies. Zhou Xu had made that clear long ago, so now that they had arrived, Kong Daqian had no reason to be coy.
He directly took out the diamond Ye Jinghong had brought back and placed it in front of Locke.
"Chief Locke, this stone was accidentally picked up by a member of our exchange delegation in your forest. We're very interested in this type of stone and are willing to offer an appropriate amount of supplies in exchange for it."
Kong Daqian made his purpose clear without beating around the bush with Locke.
Looking at the diamond, Locke furrowed his brow.
To be honest, the Wood Elves weren't interested in stones. Compared with stones, they cared more about plants.
Of course, not caring about something didn't mean he was stupid.
The diamond before him was clearly different from ordinary stones. It was obvious that this wasn't something they could resolve by casually picking up a few stones in the forest.
Considering what his tribesmen were like, Locke truly had no confidence at this moment.
"May I ask how many stones like this would be needed to exchange for the things we want?"
As he spoke, Locke signaled to the Wood Elf accompanying him to list everything they wanted to exchange for.
After listening, Kong Daqian pondered for a while.
"Each set of these items isn't expensive on its own, but if your side wants to provide them for the entire tribe, the quantity will be huge, and the price won't be small."
After saying that, Kong Daqian thought it over again, then pointed at a carriage in the distance.
"According to my rough estimate, carriages like that would need to be filled—at least fifty of them."
