() "Welcome all guests, I announce that Ya·Mei Trading Company officially opened today." Aaron stood on the wooden platform with a serious look, holding a speech in his hand, announcing the official opening of the company.

Following Aaron's order, the dwarfs who had been prepared all around lit up fireworks one after another, barely reversing the cold start caused by Aaron's too brief opening speech.

"This is gone?"

"But it will be gone."

"But I heard that human beings like to speak for a long time on such important occasions."

"That might be because that guy is the only human here, and he thinks he talks too much and no one listens."

The dwarfs were noisily discussing. These curious guys had long known through various channels that Aaron and the dwarfs had jointly opened a trading company. The door here had been tightly closed before. The dwarfs whose curiosity was aroused tried various ways to go in and see what was going on here, but they never had the chance.

After all, this is a laboratory once used by great craftsmen, and the safety measures are still in place. Unless the curious dwarfs dare to use some extremely lethal gadgets inside Gnomeregan, they really have no chance to go in and see what happens.

Now this mysterious company has finally held its opening ceremony. How could the dwarfs not come to join in the fun? This led to Aaron standing on the stage and looking up, all he could see were lively little guys.

"Well, if these guys all come to buy something, then the order can probably be postponed until next year." Aaron said in his heart, but he also knew that this was unlikely. He had learned before that the dwarfs were not very interested in revolvers.

Although the dwarfs are quite interested in the principle of this kind of firearm that can fire continuously, they are interested in dismantling it for research, rather than buying it and using it as a weapon. In fact, the dwarfs have many kinds of black technology products, and there are many choices for a self-defense weapon. The revolver is not very attractive to the dwarfs.

"Aaron boy, I'm here for Magni, you won't welcome me, right?" A red-haired and red-bearded dwarf shouted to Aaron. He was also fiddling with the revolver that Aaron asked the dwarves to display as a sample, "This gun is very interesting. I think our expedition team can use it."

According to Brann, Magni is currently at odds with Moira, so he cannot come to Gnomeregan to attend the opening ceremony. He can only entrust Brann, who took the injured back to Ironforge to rest, to come here instead.

Brann and Aaron got along pretty well before, so they didn't have any objections to this sudden job. They even brought a few bottles of their own collection of dwarf spirits as gifts.

However, Brann, who originally came here just because of his friendship with Aaron, became very interested after seeing the first product that Ya-Mei Trading Company quit.

Because they often deal with monsters in various ruins, the archaeological expeditions organized by the dwarves often encounter emergencies.

Just like when Aaron and Brann entered Uldaman, when they encountered the siege of Troggs in the small underground, even the well-trained dwarves were unable to perform. If Aaron hadn't taken the risk, the dwarves would have chosen to evacuate temporarily. Even so, the dwarves suffered many casualties.

Brann believes that the revolver sold by Ya-Mei Trading Company should be very useful in dealing with such emergencies. A dwarf fired six rounds of bullets in a tunnel. Brann believes that any enemy made of flesh and blood will definitely be repulsed.

"Are you interested? How much do you plan to buy?" Aaron took the dwarf spirit handed over by Brann and asked Brann.

Brann thought for a while and said, "We at Explorers' League are also quite tight on funds, so let's get fifty first? How much does it cost? I'll see if the price is suitable."

Aaron did a simple mental calculation and quoted the price that he and Sicco Thermaplugg decided after discussing. Because he was worried that the asking price would be too high to scare away the first big customer, Aaron even lowered the price a little.

"It's quite cheap." Brann nodded, seeming to be quite satisfied with the price quoted by Aaron, and agreed without any counter-offer, "But I don't have that much money with me. I'll check back in two days, and then we can officially trade."

After talking about the business, Brann asked Aaron about another question, "Aaron, is your trading company interested in helping us Explorers' League develop some tools that can be used in archaeological excavations? We have also found a few dwarf craftsmen before, but the output of the products they produced is too small, and there is simply not enough for everyone to use."

Obviously, Brann realized the true potential of Ya-Mei Trading Company from the number of revolvers that Aaron put out in one go. If Explorers' League can be provided with a large number of convenient tools that can be used in archaeological excavations, the dwarves can more easily excavate various ruins all over the world.

"This... it's not impossible, but it will definitely take some time to develop, and I won't be able to supply it to you in a short time."

"It's okay, we're not in a hurry." Brann patted Aaron on the shoulder, indicating that he was not in a hurry. At the same time, he whispered, "If you can sell it to me now, I may not be able to come up with the money."

We all know what the voices of the dwarves are like. Brann speaking in a low voice is basically the same as Aaron speaking normally. The corner of Aaron's mouth twitched when he heard it. Should we praise the dwarves for being really upright?

"Okay, your opening ceremony is over. It's time for me to go back. It will take some time to convince the other managers," Brann turned around and said to Aaron, "Aaron boy, please prepare the goods you want to provide us."

"Okay, then I'll wait for you to come back." Aaron said goodbye to Brann with a smile, and walked to check the situation in the sample display area next to it.

Although compared to the total number of gnomes, there are still a few gnomes who are interested in the revolvers produced by Ya-Mei Trading Company. The gnome craftsmen who are very interested in this new type of firearms have bought a lot of products. They just don't know whether these guys are dismantled or used as weapons after buying them. Considering the temperament of the gnomes, the former is more likely.

"Generally speaking, the sales on the first day exceeded expectations." Aaron said after looking through the account book.

"That's because your expectations are very low," Vereesa saw that Aaron was in a good mood and deliberately poured cold water on him. "What you sold today is not as much as the dwarfs produce in a day. Besides, the sales volume in the future will definitely not be as good as today."

"This is indeed a problem, but I am not without ideas." Aaron showed a proud expression, "Brann actually provided me with a good idea today."
