An Tong stared at Andre's eyes seriously, and after thinking for a moment, he said cautiously: "I don't think there is any room for cooperation between us, and besides, it is difficult for us to trust each other. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"Why isn't there room for collaboration?" Andre smiled, his body relaxed, "Lieutenant An Tong, you may not be very thorough about the connection between the Admiral, the capital, and the military, so let's start at the beginning." ”

After André finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to the female companion behind him, who took out a pad from his backpack and handed it to him, Andre lowered his head and operated it, showing the pad in front of Antong, which was a long list of data.

"That's the percentage of the way bulk cargo is transported around the world, and you can see that although the sea is extremely unsafe, sea freight is still the main mode of transportation, especially for our family's main steel trade."

"I think you should have also noticed that in the tasks issued to the Admiral, it is still mainly reconnaissance and escort tasks, and the task of destroying the enemy has always revolved around defending the route, so in addition to guarding the coastline, the greater role of the Admiral's existence is actually to protect our maritime defense line."

"But it's not free, and in addition to the damn taxes, a large part of the money the military uses to maintain operations comes from the protection fees of the various chaebols, and if you want to use the safe shipping lanes, you have to pay to the military."

"In addition to the fixed annual fee, there are many additional temporary costs, such as a certain route is blocked and needs to be cleaned up by the admiral, and the military will ask for a sky-high price according to the intensity of the mission, if you only need to send a few trainee admirals, it may only be hundreds of thousands, but if you need to send a few senior admirals, it will be millions to tens of millions, if you need to send a bigseven... Hehe, maybe our profit for a month will be gone. ”

"In fact, the money we give to the military every year already accounts for the lion's share of our costs. So now you understand why a slightly more powerful Admiral would become a sought-after commodity, right? If you can bypass the military's exploitation and let your admirals handle these troubles for you, the cost will be greatly reduced, which means higher profits. ”

After Andre finished speaking, he leaned back in his chair and waited patiently for An Tong's reaction.

An Tong smiled bitterly and said, "I now know why they are so crazy. ”

"Congratulations on finally understanding your worth, Lieutenant Antong." Andre clapped his hands lightly, "You proved your strength by solving a large-scale crisis during your apprenticeship, and a strong man with an innocent net worth like you is naturally the target of everyone." Even the military is no exception, why do you think the First Admiral and the Fourth Admiral will come forward for you? Is it just to appreciate you? ”

"Why is it that every potential newcomer is called the bigseven of the future? That's because bigseven hasn't changed in three years... And why does the world say you're going to be the next bigseven? You should understand by now, right? ”

An Tong nodded slightly, the contact during this period is not difficult to figure out, newcomers with a little potential will be surrounded by capitalists, the military urgently needs more cash cows like him, enjoying the treatment of a lieutenant, doing what BigSeven does, and the military will use his future title of BigSeven to earn a high protection fee.

He also understood why capital would spare no effort to infiltrate the military, and I am afraid that the reason why such a loose mercenary management of the admiral was also due to the compromise of the military to capital.

"So, Lieutenant Antong, our cooperation space is here. It would be profitable for both of us that you would have solved the troubles on the route for me privately, while I gave you 20% of the huge costs that should have been given to the military. Andrei leaned back in his chair, rubbed his temples, and continued:

"For me, it's a cost saver for the family, it will silence everyone, and at the same time, it won't provoke the first and fourth admirals; For you, a super high-income extra money should be very attractive. ”

An Tong was hesitant at the moment, to be honest, he was indeed a little moved, because he really needed a lot of money now, but he didn't agree to it at the first time, there are too many risks in this kind of private transaction with capitalists.

Andrei saw his concerns, and hurriedly said: "You don't have to worry that this will violate the rules of the military, there are no laws and regulations that prohibit the Admiral from earning extra income, you can confirm this for yourself later." ”

"You are different from those admirals who obey the chaebol forces, there is no subordinate relationship between us, and each cooperation is a one-time cooperative relationship, and you can choose to refuse at any time."

"Taking a step back, even if you reject me in the end, do you think you can really stop serving the capitalists? Even if Wang Siyuan tried his best to throw you into this kind of place, I can still let you serve me through the military department. The only difference is that your money is all earned by the military. ”

An Tong nodded slightly, admitting that what Andre said was indeed the truth, and in the final analysis, the so-called military was still serving capital in the end.

This world is controlled by capital, and as long as people are alive in this world, it is impossible to really cut off the connection with capital.

"So why don't we just work together? Australia is an important source of iron ore, and you know what the routes here mean to the Victor family, who are mainly in the steel industry, and we have a lot of opportunities to work together. Andrei said.

An Tong also gently rubbed his temples before raising his head again and saying, "I want 8 percent." ”

In any case, he really needs money now, and there is no need to force himself to be an enemy of the Victor family in this period of Taoguang's development, so it is not completely impossible to try to cooperate with this traitor of the Victor family.

Andre paused for a moment, immediately reacted, quickly shook his head, and said: "No, no, no, Lieutenant An Tong, this is too much, I will have a hard time explaining it to the family..."

"Come on! Let's be honest with each other. An Tong stretched out his hand and made a downward motion, and said with some displeasure: "Even if I am hired by the military, how much is it?" Does your family really care about this small cost? If so, they won't let you take revenge on me, and the money saved will end up in your pocket, am I right? Mr. Andrey? ”

Andre grinned and said frankly: "You are right, this money is indeed in my pocket, but you know, I am trading with you behind my family's back, and I am taking more risks, and I can only share thirty percent of you at most." ”

"Are you making me laugh? Mr. Andrei, who told me before that this is not considered a betrayal of your own family? Seventy percent, this is my bottom limit. ”

"But that doesn't mean I don't need to bear the pressure of other heirs, and I've also settled the trouble from the Victor family for you, so my floor limit is 3.5 percent."

"You can also gain the friendship of three bigsevens, where in the world can you find such a good business? Sixty percent, this is the last time I regress. ”

"You're not a bigseven yet, Lieutenant Antong, and I'm trying to raise more funds for our future collaboration... It's good for both of us. ”

"Hehe, you can always ask someone else to cooperate."

"Aren't you ready to take refuge with other capitalists?"

In short, after some fierce bargaining, the two fought for a red face and thick neck, and the final ratio was fixed at fifty percent, and the two sides divided it in half, although the two did not trust each other much, but the agreement to jointly dig the corner of the Victor family and the military was reluctantly confirmed.

Then, after a series of agreements on the follow-up process, the two finally signed a secret agreement that was drawn up on the spot.

Andrei returned to his previous calm and graceful state, and said: "I thought it would be a difficult negotiation, and I thought you were a proletarian with a great aversion to capital, but now it seems that you are a profit-seeker like me. ”

"No, no, no, it's completely different." An Tong shook his fingers and drank the last tea before continuing: "Your goal in life is to chase profits, and for me, the pursuit of profit is just a necessary means to achieve the goal." ”

André was noncommittal, changed the subject, and said: "I will go back to Europe tonight, and Aisha will be in charge of the communication between us in the future." André gestured to his female companion, who had been following him but had not said a word the whole time.

"It's a pleasure to work with." Andrei kindly held out his right hand.

"I hope so." An Tong shook his hand politely.

After the two of them walked to the first floor, the ship girls were still trying on various clothes with great interest, and there was no feeling of fatigue and boredom at all, and the changed clothes were already piled up high next to them.

"Pack all the clothes in the store and send them to Mr. Antong's town guard's mansion." Andre said generously: "Even if it's a gift for me." ”

The corners of An Tong's mouth twitched, and he secretly scolded this guy for being stingy, everyone knows how much this kind of thing costs clothes, and Andre's seemingly bold move actually doesn't cost him a few dollars.

After Andre and Aisha got into the luxury car again and left, An Tong clapped her hands vigorously at the girls and said, "Okay, okay, all the clothes here are ours, go home and try them slowly." ”

He didn't know why there was a convenient and simple tailor like Des Moines, and these women were still so keen on clothes...

"Admiral! Here are a few of yours! Des Moine smiled evilly and waved at An Tong, "I didn't expect men's and women's clothes to be sold here!" ”

"Absolutely not! How far is this kind of thing thrown at me! An Tong hurriedly said to the person in charge who had been with the ship's mother: "Only these evil things should not be sent to the town guard mansion!" ”
