Chapter Ninety-Nine: Negotiation
The three men sitting here are not fools, perhaps because their experiences and visions may have given them different views on the further development of the situation, but the core of the interpretation of a matter that has already been cooked is basically the same.
Just by saying these few words, Durin had already attracted Ernst's attention, and it was enough for them to understand that Durin really understood the rules of the game in Turner City. The big men who were high up in the sky were lying on the clouds, using Turnair City as a chessboard, manipulating the chess pieces. They don't want to see an over-integrated group of people who have the strength to compete with them, or even challenge them. At the same time, they don't like the fierce competition between each other to push them to the ultimate evolution, so they have developed a competition system within a controllable range.
Under such a system, every person and every force in the city will be installed on this machine called Tenel like a strictly measured spare part, so that there will be no internal failures.
Durin's idea is simple, the eggs can't break the control from the top from the inside in the current situation, so why not obey them while finding another way to find a different way?
In Dorin's subsequent statement, he argues that within Turnaire, the three parties can still compete with each other by means permitted by the rules. But outside of Turnaire, everyone should unite and plunder the wealth in other wealthier places.
Moonshine is like an alternative embodiment of circulating currency, anytime and anywhere, as long as you have a bottle of high-level smuggled wine in your hand, you can exchange it for a sum of money nearby. As long as those slightly irritating liquids are bottled in the bottle, there is no need to think about its sales.
The three of them set up a new company to specialize in "foreign" trade, and both Ensett and Karul listened carefully to this point, and agreed with Durin's idea. Once the moonshine in their hands spreads throughout Canleth, they will reap an unimaginable fortune. Of course, there are some risks involved in acquiring anything, which is directly related to how much you get.
For foreign dealers, they certainly don't want to see new commodities impact their already solid market, this is not a competition between three and five pieces, this is a business war in tens of thousands. Under Doolin's lobbying, the other two parties were willing to give up a part of the money and part of the people as a guarantee of access to other markets.
But there is one thing that cannot be discussed, and that is the composition of shares.
According to Durin, he wants to take at least fifty-one percent of the trading company, and he doesn't care about absolute control, it's not a legal deal, and whoever holds more shares will be more unlucky if he has to settle the ledger one day. He just optimized it according to the current market share, and put forward this idea, who made his goods sell the best and have the highest market share?
Karol was adamantly opposed to this, because in the shareholding plan, Durin took fifty-one percent, Ernst took thirty percent, and only kept him nineteen percent, which was why he could not accept it. It doesn't make sense for everyone to do things together, so I have to take the least, right?
Ernst was silent about this, believing that he had earned thirty percent of his income, and that the largest part of his current income was not in moonshine. As it has been said before, no one is indifferent to wealth, and neither is Ernst. This is a very hot and fast money-making business, although it is not his main source of income, but it is also an aspect that cannot be ignored, so even if he only has 30% of the shares, he has no complaints.
The only one who is not satisfied is Karul, but he may not have understood that sometimes the strength of a voice is not directly related to the body.
The heated discussion made Durin feel a little hungry again, after all, he was still a half-grown boy, and it was when he was growing his body, and a steak might fill the stomach of an adult like Ernst or Karul, but for young people with more persistent pursuits of nutrition and satiety, a steak was not enough.
"Give me another serving, the steak from just now. Dulin tilted his head and glanced at the attendant, then stunned for a moment.
The next second, he grabbed the waiter's bow tie and pulled it down hard, and the waiter's head had an intimate contact with the plate on the table that had not yet had time to be cleaned up. With a clang, the fine porcelain plate shattered into many pieces, some of which stabbed him in the cheek, and some blood stains appeared on the table.
"I don't like the look in your eyes. "I know what you're thinking, but I don't like what you think, and I don't like the way you look." You should have hidden those things from me, but you didn't!", the next moment, the fork thrust into the squire's shoulder. The squire's mouth was tightly closed, and his body trembled slightly.
Yes, his eyes made Durin very uncomfortable, it was a look of contempt, a look that was inexplicably condescending.
He, in despisis, is despising Doolin.
The contempt and contempt hidden in his eyes were almost ready to come out, and for the first time Durin could be regarded as not seeing, because he was now a "big man", and there was no need for him to worry about the problems of his eyes with a small squire. But if there is a second time, the nature of this will change.
Durin let go of the fork handle in his hand, which was tightly embedded in the squire's shoulder, and tilted his head, and Dover immediately walked over, "Teach him how to be a good person." As he spoke, he picked up a napkin and wiped some of the bright red blood stains from his wounds, and no longer paid attention to the attendant who was dragged out by Du Fo's hair.
He shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, "A lot of people tell me this restaurant is good, but I don't think it's good enough, at least they haven't learned how to be a good squire. At this moment, the squire's cry of pain came from the corner of the side, and the sound of people beating him, "Let's continue with the previous topic, about the issue of the share structure......
After a long discussion, it was finally settled.
Karul angrily left with twenty-three percent of his shares, and Ernst shook hands with a smile and invited Durin to his house before politely leaving with the rest of the shares.
Looking at the distant backs of the two, Durin finally showed a lot of smiles on his face. With his hands in his trouser pockets, he looked back at the attendant who was gasping for breath on the ground and couldn't even scream, and nodded with a smile.
"Give him a little medical bills, he should be taught a lesson!"
A young man in a peaked cap, who was only fourteen or fifteen years old, walked over and took out from his pocket about ten two-dollar bills and sprinkled them on the squire's bloodied face.
