American comics: Starting from a copycat arms dealer.

Chapter 61: Is this how you round off?
After listening to Carl's introduction, Rumlow was speechless.

This is not nonsense?
You, the Umbrella, are the only ones on the entire planet willing to sell the most advanced war machine, the Iron Man.

You are the only one who has the product, so naturally you won’t find another store that offers a better price than Umbrella.

Moreover, after he looked at the specific parameters of the two battle armors, Rumlow felt unsatisfied.

You dare to sell a piece of armor made of stainless steel for 10 million US dollars?
You really think I'm a sucker, don't you?
It is even a question whether this beggar's version of iron armor can withstand the explosion of a grenade. Does he have to buy it as a figurine?

Only the B1 type of armor is somewhat pleasing to the eye. Made of titanium alloy, its combat effectiveness is barely acceptable.

However, at 30 million US dollars per unit, the price is still a bit too expensive.

You have to know that the iron armor sold by Carl, the profiteer, are all naked versions, without any weapons installed except the pulse cannon.

If you buy it yourself, you have to equip it with weapons, which will cost a lot of money.

So Rumlow thought for a while and said tactfully: "Mr. Carl, I wonder if the Ark Energy Core is for sale? Although these two armors are good, they are not what we want at the moment."

When Carl heard what he said, he knew that he wanted to buy the Ark energy core and go back to make his own armor.

After all, the technological content of iron armor is mainly concentrated in the energy core.

Many major powers can produce ordinary armor. Even if the overall performance is a bit worse, as long as the energy problem is solved, it will be enough.

But Carl is not the kind of person who is willing to consider his customers. How much money can he make by selling Ark Energy alone?

He directly bundled the products for sale, combining the Ark Energy with the Iron Armor, and then sold them at a hundred times the cost.

The C10 armor that costs 1 US dollars is sold for 1000 million US dollars.

The B100 type armor that costs 1 million US dollars is sold for 3000 million US dollars.

Monopoly market, you can buy it or not!
Therefore, Carl shook his head decisively, and said with a straight face, as if he could not question it at all: "I'm sorry, Mr. Rumlow, due to some key technical reasons.

Selling the Ark Energy Core alone will result in a serious loss, why don't you go to Stark Industries and ask them if they are willing to sell the Ark Energy?"

The potential effect of these words was to directly block all of Rumlow's ideas.

Rumlow was furious when he heard this. Carl, this unscrupulous businessman, dared to set malicious prices by relying on his monopoly on the market.

He was also asked to go to Stark Industries to ask, and it would be a good thing if Iron Man didn't just kill him with a single shot when he saw a Hydra remnant like him.

What the hell are you asking?
If it were the case when Rumlow was still working at SHIELD, he would have shot such arms dealers who maliciously priced their weapons to death.

Then SHIELD will take action and replace the boss with an obedient one, and will be able to purchase arms and weapons at cost price.

For example, the weapons sold by Hammer Industries to SHIELD have always been sold at cost price.

The reason why Hammer Industries is so honest is that it has been warned by SHIELD several times.

Unfortunately, SHIELD was disbanded and Hydra became a lost dog.

Now there is nothing I can do to Carl, the profiteer, and even if I get ripped off, I still have to say thank you.

In this world, if you don't have strength, you can only be slaughtered by others. Rumlow took a deep breath, suppressed the annoyance in his heart, and said:
"In that case, we want to buy 100 C1-type armors, but does Umbrella have them in stock?"

"Of course!" Carl smiled kindly again, as if the ruthless rejection just now was just a joke.

“正好10亿订单，99折优惠就是9.9亿美刀，再涨两成四舍五入一下就是12亿。你什么时候全款支付，什么时候100台钢铁战甲就能在12个小时内送到你指定的位置。”

I heard that Carl clearly promised a 99% discount, but the special code was rounded up to 12 billion US dollars?
Who rounds off like this?!
Rumlow wanted to punch the shameless profiteer in front of him to death!
"call"

calm down.

Rumlow told himself to calm down. After all, the difference between 11.88 billion and 12 billion was only about million US dollars.
"Fake!"

Rumlow couldn't stand it anymore, so he pulled out his Glock 26 pistol and wanted to shoot the unscrupulous businessman to death!
"boom!"

A 9mm bullet was fired from the flaming muzzle at high speed.

At this moment, the air seemed to be stagnant.

Rumlow regretted it the moment he pulled the trigger.

He knew clearly that ordinary firearms could not threaten Carl at all. After all, Carl's super powers were no longer a secret in S.H.I.E.L.D.

But just now he couldn't help himself when he got excited.

But since it has happened, there is no point in regretting it. At this time, Rumlow still has illusions in his heart.

Maybe Carl didn't react in time and was shot dead by himself?
As a result, the 9mm bullet flew towards Carl at high speed.

The bullet flew slower and slower.

Until it fell into a layer of invisible energy and hovered in front of Carl.

Carl's reaction nerves were close to the speed of light. After stopping the bullet without any accident, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and he frowned and said:
“Since you just placed a large order, I will not pursue this offense.

However, as a punishment, the price of this order will be increased by 20%!"

Rumlow watched the bullet stop in mid-air, and the last bit of hope disappeared.

Then he was horrified to find that the metal bullet suspended in the air suddenly began to weather and disappear.

The metal powder drifted away with the wind and disappeared from this world forever.

Seeing this shocking scene, Rumlow knew that this was a threat from Carl. If he did not agree to the price increase, he would probably be "blown away by the wind"!
After thinking for less than a second, Rumlow, who was still thinking about continuing to work hard for Hydra, quickly retracted his gun and showed a very apologetic attitude.

"Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Karl. It is reasonable to increase the price by 20% as a punishment."

Seeing him admit his mistake directly with his head down, Karl’s devilish smile appeared again.

"You don't think I'm going too far, do you? I believe in win-win situations in business. If Mr. Rumlow has any opinions, he can raise them. I've always been a very democratic person."

Rumlow forced out a fake smile and replied, "Oh, it's not excessive, not excessive at all. After all, I was the one who made the mistake first. I think this is not enough as an apology."

Carl seemed to not understand the other party's polite words. "Oh?" He said suddenly, "So you also think it's too little? I also think that a 30% increase is barely reasonable, don't you think so, Mr. Rumlow?"

Hearing that it was just a polite remark, Carl, the unscrupulous businessman, took advantage of the situation and raised the price by another 10%.

Rumlow was so angry that he almost vomited blood. This shameless attitude of asking for more was really outrageous!

Rumlow's face turned red with anger. He lowered his head to prevent Carl from seeing his murderous look. He gritted his teeth and said, "Reasonable! A 30% price increase is very reasonable!"
