Chapter 710: The Stealer
Silver Galaxy.
It's one of the few core areas that belong to Locke's Territory, so it was lucky enough to survive the last pirate plague.
can hide from the first day of junior high school, but can't hide from the fifteenth.
When the pirates' raiding fleets returned and began to raid the outer star fields, the people here finally got the news.
A large wave of pirates is about to attack, but the Locke consortium has chosen to survive, which undoubtedly exposes the Silver Galaxy directly to the pirates, and it is only a matter of time before it falls.
The city was immediately thrown into chaos, and large numbers of citizens began to drag their families to the airport, hoping to escape to the Locke system and even further afield into the interior of the Empire.
A young couple saluted with large bags and small bags, and were about to drive to escape in a panic, but when they looked up, they saw a hovercar slowly landing on the parking apron next door.
"Huh? Lao Wang, aren't you going to join your relatives in the Locke Galaxy? How did you come back again? The man carrying the bag looked at the middle-aged man who got out of the car in astonishment.
"Hey! You still don't know? ”
"Uh...... Know what? ”
"So, it's okay to watch the news more, don't watch the news, it's good for you to brush up on teasing when you have time!" As he spoke, Lao Wang called up his personal terminal and opened a short video.
["Two, this is all the money in the family, invite the two brothers to tea. ”
“……”
"The owner of the Bassanio Interstellar Transport Company, with 3.76 million imperial credits in his name, should be your wife and children, I should be right?"
“……”
"Don't be afraid, we won't hurt you, according to the tiered rate table for protection fees established by Lord Pirate King, protection fees are waived for assets below 5,000.
If the assets are more than one million, but less than 5 million, you need to pay 10% of the protection fee, and the old and weak women and children can be exempted, so we need to charge 376,000 protection fees this time, is it cash or transfer? ”
“……”】
After watching this video, which was obviously taken by the access control monitoring system, the young couple looked at each other.
"This ...... It's true? ”
There are still pirates in the world who feel that they have been robbed too much and take the initiative to change?
"It can't be fake! There are thousands of similar videos on the Internet, all from various galaxies that have been captured by pirates.
Not to mention anything else, this Antonio and I still have some business dealings in the video, which is definitely not a trust!
Look, there is also this protection fee rate table, which is posted on the newly built official website of the Shattered Star Pirate Alliance, and a complaint phone number is attached. ”
What? And the official website and complaint number?
In recent years, have pirates switched to the service industry......
"Yes...... But even so, they are still pirates! The man hesitated.
"Hey! Everyone is smiling and robbing, civilized enough, what else do you want?
Besides, these pirates are much more merciful than those vampires, do you know how much a ticket is at the airport now? 1 million! Don't bargain!
Those rich people, even if they run away in advance, don't forget to rob and drink our blood before leaving!
I'd rather let the pirates charge some protection money than get on the vampire ship! ”
"1 million? Aren't those two people 2 million? The hostess beside her was startled.
They are just ordinary people, and they can't get 2 million for smashing pots and selling iron...... Unless the house is sold!
But the pirates have all hit the doorstep, and now even if he wants to sell, someone has to be the pick-up man!
After calculating the accounts in their hearts, their couple's current assets plus annual income are about 350,000, and then they still owe a mortgage of 4.6 million...... According to that protection fee rate table...... 17 gets 7, 2748, 38 Women's Day, May Day, June 1st Children's Day......
After quickly calculating the account, her eyes suddenly lit up and she looked at her husband.
"Or else...... Shall we pay protection money? ”
……
As the four-way pirate army robbed one system after another, the alliance pirates' alternative protection fee collection methods also spread quickly.
This kind of pirate who is trustworthy, obeys the rules, and clearly marks the price, and robs in a civilized manner, immediately stabilized the situation of the galaxy that was being robbed and was about to be robbed.
Most civilians do not meet the requirements for protection money and do not need to run.
A small number of middle-class people who cannot afford to buy a ferry ticket would rather pay protection money than run.
Only a very small number of wealthy people are frightened by the high protection fee rate, and they can run out vigorously!
This also greatly facilitates the collection of protection money by pirates.
As long as you send troops to block the main road to the outside world, and catch those who run away, they will definitely catch one by one, and each of them is a big fat sheep with a rich net worth!
"Brother Ghost, high! Through this plunder, it not only boosted the morale before the war, but also established the external image of the alliance by the way, killing two birds with one stone!
Next, we should wait for those caravans to take the initiative to pay the protection fee, right? Chilong said happily.
A pirate gang that only knows how to sabotage and loot is naturally shunned, but a pirate who is trustworthy and obeys the rules is trustworthy.
And trust is the foundation of cooperation!
"Hmmm! Not bad! Nie Yun smiled.
"Pirates with aspirations and ideals should not be synonymous with killing and destruction, but should be the challengers of the traditional order and the makers of the new order.
Killing and destruction do not produce wealth, only the redistribution of wealth, but order can.
The other party paid the protection fee, and the boundary of our territory was unimpeded, we saved the cost of robbery, and the other party reduced the risk of losing all their money, which is a win-win situation!
It won't be long before more scrupling caravans choose to take our golden route, and the more caravans come and go, the more protection money we will pay.
It's all about making the cake bigger. ”
Flint nodded approvingly.
As a hegemon, Flint certainly understands the truth of making rules and making the cake bigger, but there were no conditions for actual implementation before.
Just imagine, there are six others around who are as strong as you.
What the? Someone else paid you protection money, let's not touch him? Why? Take it for now!
Don't give me protection money for others? Look down on me what?
Rob me to death!
Over time, who else is willing to take the initiative to pay protection money?
In a word, if you want to be a rule-maker, the foundation of everything is strength!
And the Shattered Star Pirate Alliance undoubtedly already has the strength to make some rules.
"I don't understand the big truths you said, but I understand what you mean, that is, let's sit back and wait to get rich?" Chilong rubbed his hands excitedly.
"Hmm...... If we follow my plan step by step, we will not be as simple as getting rich.
I'll give you an example, for example, in ancient times, the opening line of the robbery was like this: I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, if you want to live from now on, leave to buy road wealth!
Listen up! How vulgar the language!
After thousands of years of civilization baptism, in modern society, the language has become more civilized and more intimate: 500 meters ahead of the toll station, please slow down! ”
"Uh...... What does this chestnut tell us? The red dragon was puzzled, but the others looked thoughtful.
Nie Yun glanced at the crowd and said with a smile.
"This story tells us that those who steal the hook will be punished, and those who steal the country will be punished...... Marquis! ”
"Hiss~"
