Chapter 542: Buying a Ship
readx;
After Zhao Yue took Anne away, Le He turned his head and asked the soldiers beside him: "Why did he say that if I win, it will be over?" If I win, I'll get 10% of his annual taxes! ”
The soldier said, "General, why are you confused now?" If you win, it means that the bandits' fleet will not retreat, and will continue to attack us, and we will not be spared, how can you get money when you are all dead? Even if you get the money on the spot, you won't be able to spend it." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Le He patted his head and scolded: "It's so poisonous! It turns out that this guy has dug a big hole and is waiting for me to jump into it! ”
The news of the retreat of the bandit fleet had already been transmitted back to the Governor's Mansion of the Salar Star when Zhao Yue and Anne had just left the military base of the space station, and the Governor was anxiously waiting for the news with his official staff and staff, and the holographic image of Le He's assistant on the side of the military base appeared in the combat conference room: "Lord Governor, my lords, through the efforts of Lord Marquis and General Le He, the bandits' fleet has retreated, the space station is safe, and the Sala Star is safe!" The Marquis and Madame are now on their way back."
Hearing this, the governor and other officials wept with joy on the spot, and the war conference room immediately burst into thunder, and at this time, the governor clenched his fists tightly and said to the secretary: "Quick, release this news immediately, let the people of the entire Sala Star know that the robbers' fleet has retreated, and contact the imperial court to report what happened here immediately!" ”
"Yes, Lord Governor! Your Excellency, are we going out to meet the Marquis and Madame? The secretary said.
The Governor patted his head: "Oops! Patronizing and happy, I almost forgot about such an important thing! Ladies and gentlemen, hurry up with this official to welcome the Marquis and his wife back! ”
When the news that the bandits were repelled by the bandits' grand fleet for several hours, and then the news that the bandits were repelled by the Marquis of Yiyong and General Lehe reached the center of the Iron and Blood Empire, the entire court was shocked! You must know that the bandits' fleet has risen in recent years, often active in the borders of various countries to rob houses, with the shortest time to rob and run, often when the fleet of the political axe army arrived, the robbers have robbed not to flee early, never missed, in which the defense force is much stronger than the Sara Star military base is more planets, only the Sara Star successfully repelled the bandits' grand fleet.
This news spread throughout the entire Interstellar Alliance countries in an instant like growing wings, and many countries were deeply poisoned by this bandit team, and countless belongings were stolen by them in the past few years. There is at least a fixed range of robberies for pirates, and this bandit fleet is completely rogue bandits, running wherever they go, they don't pay attention to the rules at all, and their whereabouts are erratic and elusive! Now that this bandit fleet has finally suffered defeat, you must know that it is difficult to survive this bandit fleet with the defense power of a planet! Sarah not only survived, but also survived until the robbers retreated on their own initiative.
For a time, the prestige of the Iron-blooded Empire's Righteous Marquis, the Lord of the Salar Planet, Zhao Yue, and the Salar Star Military Base General Le He was as famous as Zhongtian, and the leaders of many countries sent congratulatory messages to the Emperor of the Iron and Blood Empire, saying that they would send people to learn from the scriptures, hoping to get the help of the Righteous Marquis and General Le He.
The Emperor of the Iron Blood Empire was very happy, and immediately issued an edict to let Zhao Yue and General Le He return to Beijing to report on their work, and the edict also mentioned that the cabinet would be instructed to reduce and reduce the taxes of Saraxing for the next half of the year, and Zhao Yue immediately announced the news to the people of the entire Saraxing in the name of the Marquis' Mansion. When the people on Sarah got the news, they immediately sang and danced, and gradually restored order.
After repelling the bandits' fleet, Sara returned to normal, but fortunately there was no loss, and only three or two kittens jumped out to make trouble after the incident, but they were quickly caught.
Zhao Yue's recently established Star International Shipping's recruitment work has basically come to an end, and now it has entered the stage of personnel training and training, and the ship orders of the transport fleet and the escort fleet have been negotiated, but there are still some disputes over the price, Zhao Yue received the report of the housekeeper and said: "In this way, you invite them to come over, and I will talk to them personally!" ”
"Yes, sir!" The butler agreed.
In the evening, these ship manufacturers all came to the joint decision, Zhao Yue invited them to sit down and said: "Everyone, this is the first time I have dealt with you in business, and the price is indeed a little high, don't you want to do business with me in the future?" ”
One of the merchants said: "My lord, as you know now, there has just been an incident of robbers attacking Sala, so in terms of raw materials, the price has risen a lot, if we don't raise the price, not only will we not make money, but we will also lose money!" ”
Another merchant said, "Yes, my lord, the point is that you need it so urgently, and the quantity is huge, we don't have that many raw material reserves!" ”
Zhao Yueyi waved his hand and said: "Everyone, you must know that I see that everyone is a fellow villager, as the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, in line with the idea that fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders to hand over such a large amount of orders to you, if it is according to the current price, I might as well hand over the order to several domestic ship manufacturers with very strong strength and technology, at least their prices are not so outrageous!" ”
Hearing Zhao Yue say this, several businessmen got together and muttered quietly for a while, and then a businessman said: "My lord, after some discussion, we decided to reduce the original price by one percent, what do you think?" ”
Zhao Yue shook his head and said, "One percent is too little, at least three layers!" ”
The faces of several people changed, and they all scolded secretly: "It's too ruthless, isn't it?" ”
A businessman said: "My lord, this is impossible, not to mention that we can't even buy raw materials at this price, and we have to pay for the salaries of employees and the loss of machinery!" ”
Zhao Yue said: "But my housekeeper told me that he has contacted several other ship dealers in China, and they are such a price, which is two percent lower than the price you gave, two percent!" Am I crazy? I don't buy theirs, how much more money do I have to buy yours? It seems that we can't negotiate this business, so go back! ”
A few people were shocked, now all the details have been finalized, and the final price has not been negotiated, if they don't buy it, then what they did before is not in vain? Of course, they know that the price that Zhao Yue said is a bit exaggerated, and other domestic ship manufacturers are at most two percent lower, and there is absolutely no three percent lower than Zhao Yue said, if it weren't for Zhao Yue's need to be too urgent, they would have to rush to work overnight, and the overtime pay for employees would not be a small amount, and they were also willing to negotiate this business with two percent lower than the original price.
One of the businessmen gritted his teeth and stood up and said: "My lord, I have made up your deal, the price is two percent lower than the original, this is the lowest price, and I will give you five years of free maintenance!" I hope you will leave this business to me! ”
"Are you crazy?" Several other merchants exclaimed.
Zhao Yue laughed out loud and said, "It's not that he's crazy, it's that you don't have the courage!" ”
The merchant said, "My lord, may I consult with them, I am sure I can convince them!" ”
Zhao Yue stood up and said, "Okay! I'm short on time, I'll give you ten minutes at most! With that, he walked out of the reception room.
After Zhao Yue left, the merchant said, "Several, don't you know that even if the price is low now, you can't do this business?" ”
"What do you mean? Could it be that the Marquis would force us to do a business? He hurriedly asked.
The man said, "By now, we have offended the Marquis, and although he may not be a mess with us, don't forget, we are now in his territory!" As long as he expresses his dissatisfaction with us, those officials will not trouble us twice in three days? For the sake of such a small amount of money, we can't offend him! Besides, the Marquis didn't make the price too outrageous, with the price I just said, although we didn't make any money, we didn't lose money, right? Let's not do this business to make money, but to gain the favor of the Marquis! Think about how much the whole of Sarah was taxed in a year? That's hundreds of billions of Iron and Blood Coins! We can't earn so much even if we work for ten lifetimes, and we have won the favor of the Marquis, what business can the adults not take care of us in the future? You're just too petty! I don't care what happens to you, anyway, I'm done with this business, and I'll do it at a loss! ”
Hearing his words, several people were silent for a while, and another businessman said, "Okay, Lao Tzu has done it too!" ”
The other two saw that they had decided to do it, and they had no choice but to continue the business.
Ten minutes later, Zhao Yue walked in and sat down and asked, "Everyone, have you thought about it?" ”
The first businessman who agreed said: "My lord, I have convinced them, we have done this business, according to what I just said, two percent lower than the original price, and give you five years of ship repair and maintenance for free, what do you think?" ”
Zhao Yue looked at this guy for a moment, and said with a smile: "Yes, you still have a little vision, and you can see much more long-term than them!" I don't care about this amount of money, and I don't care about it, but I can't spend it in vain, right? The business is as you say! Doing business in Sarah, you can rest assured, the Marquis Mansion and the government will definitely give you businessmen the best investment environment, under the premise of abiding by the law, as long as there are officials who embarrass you, I will immediately impeach them! ”
Several businessmen were overjoyed and said, "Lord Xie! "In fact, the business investment environment in the Iron Empire is very good, and the laws are very complete, but there are privileged classes everywhere, and there are not a few officials who use their power to make profits.
