77. Don't blame me for being ruthless
In the end, Xia agreed to lease a small uninhabited planet to the Sunao Empire at a price ten times higher than the actual price, plus a thousand-year cost-price equipment export contract.
That's right, it's "rental"
No matter how high the price Chalmers offered, Xia Du insisted on renting and not selling, which made Chalmers very annoyed. In his opinion, Xia is simply a robber who rushed into his house, not only to rob openly, but also to put on a benefactor's face, this is simply a bandit who is even more shameless than a robber
If it weren't for the fact that the Sunao Empire couldn't find a suitable buyer to buy the land, Chalmers would have wanted to pour the tea in his hand directly into his face - Nima was too shameless
The journey to goodwill came to a successful end, and Summer set out on his journey home with half of Chalmers's advance deposit and a contract that would save sixty percent of the Welsh Empire's import costs.
At the same time, Jian Ling and his gang finally arrived at the legendary pirate den after several rounds.
Yolan, a small planet in the middle of several empires, is humble in appearance, but its reputation is definitely famous in the universe. It has a very intuitive nickname - "lawless zone".
Due to its awkward geographical location, it has attracted the covetousness of all the surrounding countries, and as a result, several countries are equal in strength, competing with each other, spending a lot of manpower and material resources, and still failing to have one side occupy it for a long time.
Yolan is very small, two-thirds of it is all ocean, and the remaining one-third of the land is the size of a state, and the resources are still very poor. For the sake of such a broken place, several countries have spent more guns and ammunition than the basic returns, and in the end, after thinking about it, they really feel that this account has been lost, and if they continue to fight, this deficit will only become more and more obvious.
As a result, several countries have given up their will to compete for it, allowing this unowned planet to float between several countries.
It is also peculiar to say, the trajectory of this Yolan star is not fixed, sometimes clockwise and sometimes counterclockwise, if you are in a good mood, you will run on a curve, and if you are in a bad mood, you will simply sink down. At the beginning, several countries spent a lot of effort just to find its position, and before each war, they had to spend half a month to predict where it would appear.
Such a "naughty" little planet, after being abandoned by several countries, attracted the attention of many pirates and stowaways.
Although the land area here is very small, it is better than being elusive, as if it has become a natural umbrella for those lawbreakers, and the army warships that are temporarily chasing cannot find the location of Youlan Xing at all.
Because of this, this place is favored by more and more pirates, and many pirate gangs have made it their nest. Dozens of bands of pirates of various sizes gather here, dividing the entire land with all the seas, and the rights do not interfere with each other, but the economic exchanges are unusually frequent.
When Jian Ling and his party got off the spaceship, stood in the port, and saw the scene of people coming and going in front of them, they couldn't help but be stunned.
There were machines everywhere that were moving goods, and most of the people in charge of directing and counting the numbers were middle-aged strong men, and occasionally a few able-bodied aunts could be seen, all of whom looked sturdy.
Unlike the imaginary pirate den, this place is quite bustling, with a lot of traffic and people of all colors.
Looking at the two strong men who were checking the goods, Jian Ling asked casually, "Isn't this place a pirate den?" Why do you still open the door to do business, aren't you afraid of attracting troops? β
"This place is in a good location, there are several countries nearby, and there is no need for customs duties here, let alone your background, buying or selling is just a matter of words, and a lot of goods from unknown sources will be brought here to sell stolen goods," Nick paused, and then showed a slightly meaningful smile, "As for the army...... I didn't know for sure before I was born, but with the current level of defense, the cost of those armies to take it would be many times higher than they expected. β
Hearing this, Jian Ling showed a meaningful expression: "It seems that you have made a lot of money over the years?" β
Nick shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "It's okay, barely enough to make ends meet." β
There was an acquaintance at the port, a fat uncle named Yale. As soon as he saw Nick, he immediately stepped forward to hug Nick and patted Nick's back vigorously: "Good boy, I'm finally back, I'm looking at my neck here." β
Nick grinned happily, gave a cursory introduction to both sides, and got into the hovercar that had been prepared.
The style of this car is relatively old, a bit like a tractor, with only the driver's seat and the passenger seat in front. Due to the large number of people, Jian Ling and the others had to climb into the back compartment, which had no roof, and the wind blew past their ears when they flew up.
Jian Ling sat in the corner, her hair was blown by the wind, she felt that she was very much like Mei Chaofeng.
Noticing that she often pressed her hair, Moore next to her silently reached out and helped her brush her hair into a handful, grabbing it all in her hand.
Without a rubber band or headband, he could only hold on to it like this, Jian Ling glanced at him and asked him if he was tired, he said he was not tired, and then she didn't speak again. Jade saw the tacit understanding between the two of them, and was envious, and a pair of eyes stared at Moore's hand that helped her grab her hair.
While driving the car, Yale chatted with Nick in the seat next to him, and by the way, he detailed what happened to the old captain and his family.
Jian Ling was only separated from them by a layer of iron, and their conversation could basically be heard clearly, and they quickly figured out the ins and outs of the whole thing.
Just two days ago, a brother named Naper suddenly beat a man from the Skeleton Pirates, and afterwards the other party came to the door with a group of people to take revenge. As soon as the two sides disagreed, they fought, injuring many people, and the matter became more serious.
When the old captain found out, he took Naper out to interrogate the whole story, only to find out that it was the man from the Skeleton Pirates who raped Lula, the man's fiancΓ©e, and he was so angry that he rushed over and beat the person up.
The old captain is also a short-term man, and when he learns that his people are being bullied, he drags his sick body and goes to negotiate with the boss of the Skeleton Pirate Group, asking the other party to hand over the man who committed the crime.
In the face of the old captain's accusations, the other party flatly denied it, relying on the old captain's illness, and even humiliated him. When the peace talks failed, the two sides started to fight again, and finally the old captain relapsed in the confusion, fainted on the spot, and was carried back by his men.
After listening to Yale's narration, Nick's face was very ugly: "Damn, I have to slaughter those bastards of the Skeleton Pirates when I go back"
Jian Ling looked ahead without squinting, looking at her nose and nose - the gangsters were fighting or something, she was really not interested, but don't implicate her, she has to go back to meet her parents with her boyfriend peacefully
When the car arrived at its destination, as soon as Jian Ling jumped out of the car, he saw the big colorful flag at the door - the first pirate group in the universe
Jian Ling finally understood, why the Skeleton Pirates were coming to find trouble, Nima was the hatred of Hongguoguo, and he deserved to be hated
Led by Nick, Jian Ling entered this ordinary-looking town. The houses inside are generally not high, probably only about three or four floors, and the highest house has six floors, a small red roof, and a lovely chimney, which is Nick's home.
As soon as Nick got home, he went straight to the large bedroom on the roof, and saw the old captain lying on the bed and unable to get off the ground.
Seeing that his father was still resting, Nick looked at his father's pale and emaciated cheeks, and did not disturb him, but called Aunt Amy, who was in charge of taking care of his father, and whispered outside the door to inquire about his father's physical condition.
Aunt Amy looks to be in her fifties, her figure is slightly fat, her skin is very white, her brown curly hair is wrapped in a turban, and her brows are slightly furrowed when she speaks, and she looks very worried: "The old captain has not eaten for the past two days, but he has drunk two sips of water, and he has been sick for two consecutive days, and his mouth is so painful that he bites his mouth and bleeds." Young master, the old captain's health looks really bad, do you want to call a doctor again, if it's a matter of money, I still have some savings there......"
"Aunt Amy, you don't have to worry about this, I've already brought the doctor back."
Hearing this, Aunt Amy's eyes lit up: "Really? Where are the people? β
Nick stretched out his hand and pushed Jian Ling behind him forward: "This is the miracle doctor I hired with a lot of effort to fight for my life, with her, my father will definitely recover." β
Jian Ling glanced at him speechlessly: "Don't put a high hat on me, I can only try my best." β
Nick changed his usual hanging, squinted his eyes, and exuded a dangerous aura: "I have fulfilled my promise, and then I will put my father's life in your hands, if you can't fulfill the agreement, then I don't guarantee that you will be safe here." β
Where is this?
- Yolan Star, the most famous lawless zone of the Interstellar Alliance, all morality and law are farts here, killing people is like killing chickens, and you don't even have to blink an eye after you are done.
In the face of his threat, Jian Ling said lightly: "First, your father's life is in my hands, I want to have three long and two short, and your father will finish playing with me immediately; Second, it may be difficult to attack Yolan Star, but hunting down a pirate group should not be difficult for a general. β
Nick's eyes flashed: "So what? β
"So, I will find a way to fulfill the promise I made, but I hate threats as a person, if you push me into a hurry, don't blame me for being ruthless."
After these days of getting along, Nick knows Jian Ling's temperament very well, she is definitely a woman who does what she says, and when she saw the coldness in her eyes, she immediately felt some regret in her heart. The reason why he was aggressive just now was entirely because he was disturbed by his father's affairs, and he spoke more heavily when he was hot-headed.
The originally good partnership, as soon as he stirred it up like this, immediately became full of gunpowder, and Nick's heart became more and more irritable. He casually comforted Jian Ling a few words, and left without looking back, the matter of the Skeleton Pirate Group was still waiting for him to deal with, and when he had time, he would find another opportunity to apologize to Jian Ling.
