Chapter 143: Trading
With Franklin's question, Fang Xing immediately became the focus of the audience, waiting for an answer to emerge from his mouth.
Silent for a long time.
Fang Xing slowly swallowed the chewy food in his mouth before taking off his mask and revealing his face, this was the best way to answer. Under the propaganda of the navy, countless seagulls flew around the world with newspapers, and his face was known to the world except for some remote islands and people who had not paid attention to such things.
Not beyond Franklin's expectations, a smile appeared on his face, as if it were too normal.
The same is true for the vast majority of businessmen, only a small number of people can't bear the pressure and appear panicked after knowing the identity of Fang Xing. Although it is normal for a merchant to raise prices, it is not a small blow to his reputation if he is known by outsiders, and he may be arrested by the navy depending on the situation.
This kind of panicked people are naturally squeezed out by the surrounding businessmen, although they raise the price, but it is just within the limits of the navy, even if it is exposed, it is not illegal and what is not to be afraid of, at most they are scolded by customers A few black-hearted businessmen, affecting the reputation, but what should be bought is still bought.
Franklin stepped down from the stage, holding his stomach with his hands, as if the man wearing the false chest was always worried about the fall of the false breast, and he was also worried that his fat belly would fall from it, although he held it with both hands, he could still see the elastic belly jumping on it.
He laboriously walked in front of Fang Xing and performed a standard courtesy.
"Colonel Fang Xing, why didn't you tell me in advance when you came, I'm so prepared." The implication was how to come uninvited, but he didn't expect a child in Fang Xing to be able to hear it, it was just his habitual way of speaking.
didn't think about it, Fang Xing said coldly: "Then you blame me for being uninvited?" Go away and don't disturb me to taste the food. ”
Franklin's face froze suddenly, when Fang Xing said this, he already knew that Fang Xing had heard the meaning of his words, but shouldn't normal people be polite according to the routine? This did not follow the routine, but it made the dialogue he had conceived no longer useful.
He's just a child—Franklin said with reassurance in his heart, and then straightened out, hiding the hint of irritability just now, and putting on a nonchalant appearance, saying, "How can you blame it?" It's an honor for you to come. ”
"What an honor?"
Franklin froze again, the unreasonable question made him tangled again, it was obvious that the child was here to find fault, and his good attitude allowed him to restrain the anger in his heart, and his face still maintained a smile like a bright flower in the wind and rain, and answered the almost vexatious question.
"Hmm... How to say this, it's like seeing my parents who have been away from my hometown for many years. ”
"Nonsense, I don't have a child like you."
Franklin's smile has always been clouded, even if he has such a good attitude, he can't help but have the urge to strangle this hairy boy, but in the end he still restrained himself.
Because he knows what the consequences will be if he does this, and more importantly, he can't beat it! According to the news from the internal intelligence of the Navy, this kid conquered the base with strength. Weighing the strength of both sides, once he made a move, then with his fat and weak body, except for being more resistant to beatings than others, it had no effect.
"Hehe... Colonel Fang Xing really likes to laugh, you guys also come over to toast together. Franklin said to the merchants behind him.
One person can make trouble unreasonably, it is difficult to become a group of people, and you can still make trouble unreasonably. The crowd also gradually approached Franklin's reminder, but he didn't have to wait a few steps.
Rumble!
A sword aura suddenly appeared in the meeting room, cutting across the venue and drawing a horizontal line on the ground, like a chain of life, causing the merchants who came to take steps to stop abruptly, and even retreated a few steps back.
The sudden change was unexpected even by Franklin, who had seen strong winds and waves.
Franklin turned around, saw the scratch that went deep into the ground, remembered the sword qi that almost touched his scalp just now, as if the scythe of death had quietly come, he shivered, and a cold sweat broke out unconsciously on his back.
He had no interest in how the sword qi crossed his head and attacked on the ground, although this violated the principle of sword qi and made people curious, but the problem now was not here.
"Fang Xing... Colonel, I don't know what you're doing here? ”
"As you can see..., it's just a scratch on the ground."
Although it was the same irritating answer, but at this moment Franklin did not dare to have the slightest anger, the crack in the ground, there was not the slightest fraud, he did not want his body to have such a crack.
"Well, it's quite an artistic rift, but I don't know what Colonel Fang Xing made such a trace in the party, what he was for?"
"What else can be done?" Fang Xing looked at Franklin with a stupid expression, "Of course it's a threat and arrest you." ”
Franklin was dumbfounded, the threat was understandable, but the arrest? It's incomprehensible.
"We are law-abiding people, Colonel Fang Xing, you don't have the authority to arrest us." Franklin was confident, but he glanced at the deep scar behind him out of the corner of his eye, and he was a little confident.
"Did you do the price increase?"
"Yes, but we raised the price because of the market downturn, and the price is also within the limits of the navy, if this is the case, we have not violated the law at all, and you have no right to arrest us." After speaking, he waved his hand and encouraged the businessman behind him.
The merchant on the other side of the deep scar received instructions, and although his scalp was numb when he saw the deep ridge, he did not have the courage to cross it, but his echo was not low, and he seemed to be ready to overwhelm Fang Xing with momentum.
The reason why the navy is a navy is precisely because they uphold the law and stand on the side of justice.
"Who said you can't be arrested if you don't break the law, don't you know that there are many navies who are the kind of people who act recklessly? I happen to be one too. ”
"No, no, no, you're not at all, if you're the kind of unscrupulous person who can just send the navy to arrest us, why bother to come here, everything is negotiable, isn't it?" Franklin said with a smile. The smile reveals confidence, as if he knows everything well.
"Since you are here for us to raise the price, then I will make the decision to reduce the price by one percent, and ensure that the price will not rise except for special circumstances, what do you think?"
Franklin made a big concession, a concession to the other side, and a concession to the navy, and many merchants, after hearing this, acquiesced to the deal, but the fat on their faces throbbed painfully.
The focus of the audience once again focused on Fang Xing, waiting for Fang Xing's reply to this transaction.
