As the wheelless car ran on its own, Scardragon began to explain the matter of Dock 30, and gave the price of repairs a few minutes later.

"The repair cost of the Kuroshio is 3,300 star coins, and the construction period is eight days." Saying that, he gritted his teeth and continued, "For the sake of Lord Pan's face, I only charge you 2,600 star coins, and I dare to use my reputation to guarantee that it is definitely the lowest price in the whole of Saigois." ”

The quotation is only the repair price of a decommissioned medium-sized frigate, and compared with the purchase price of a brand-new heavy frigate just now, you can know how badly it hurts.

Can face be worth money?

Pan Wen smiled slightly, knowing that Scardragon was willing to give a discount of less than 20% because of the intermediary fee that was about to arrive.

The intermediary fee is generally between 3% and 5%, perhaps he wants to sell Pan Wen a good deal through hedging on both sides in order to cooperate for a long time. Like human society, the world of NPCs is also about human feelings.

"I can pay an extra 200 Star Coins, and the construction period has to be two days in advance, can I do it?"

Scar Dragon immediately stretched out his hand and didn't give him a chance to regret it: "Deal!" ”

Although Pan Wen is not an industry insider, looking at Scardragon's reaction speed, he also knows that he can earn more by using 200 star coins to build two days in advance.

He guessed right, the shortening of the construction period is to increase the workload, once the use of a large currency unit such as star coins, the labor cost is simply negligible, even if the shortcomings of the equipment are to find peers to rent a little, it does not cost much.

The hearing will be held in the space outside Dock 1 in the 6th Port District, where there will be no idle people, and all the people present are professional pirates!

The No. 1 dock in each port area is larger than the other docks inside and out, and the outside is arranged around the staircase, and the dock is stored with real boss-class warships in the eyes of the player, which is enough to pull away and protect the elite of all pirates in case of emergency.

Pan Wen sat in the second circle closest to the committee, and Scardragon was still in the fourth row behind, and out of the thousands of people present, they were all still at the front. The arrangement of seats has nothing to do with the strength of each fleet, but is determined by the individual abilities of each leader, of course, if you can sit here, you must at least have a frigate of your own, not any cat or dog can come...... Well, the thousands of people here are all high-level NPC pirates.

In short, Pan Wen, a small pirate who still only has a broken frigate for the time being, has the right to speak at the hearing.

As for the assistants, they are now acting as temporary guards at the back of the venue, separating the leader from the assistants, which also makes the atmosphere less hot.

"Ping Pong"

The chairman of the committee struck a few times on the rostrum with a gavel to signal everyone to be quiet, and waited for the scene to be less noisy before he began to speak.

"I'm sure many of you already know that the Isis Empire has confirmed the opening of the small ship market, and wants to make us look good! Judging by past circumstances, the Gabri Federation will soon follow suit, and our days will soon become difficult. After a slight pause to give those who were not in the know a little time to digest the information, the silver-haired and very kind-looking chairman continued, "I asked you to come here today to discuss a way to deal with it, and the committee will use this to negotiate with those two guys. ”

On the pirate mobile confusing star Segeis, in addition to the Interstellar Trade Friendship Alliance, there are two major pirate forces, and the three of them jointly govern the entire Segeis.

"The committee has discussed three options, and the following members will explain the plan, you can directly question it if you have any questions, and we will vote once after completing the explanation of all the plans."

As he spoke, the chairman turned his face and raised his hand to the other member, who immediately stood up and spoke.

"As you know, although patrol ships are small ships, they already have the ability to jump in hyperspace, and the corresponding to the high-power engines is that their firepower intensity is not comparable to that of various fighters and gunboats, and they can already pose a real threat to the fleets of everyone here. A few of my colleagues and I believe that the proliferation of patrol ships will make our 'business' harder, and that in order to protect the prosperity of Segeis and your pockets, we should increase the proportion of regular trade and engage in more interstellar trade. ”

The regular trade in pirates, of course, is not lacking in the forbidden items designated by each star system, some things are prohibited here, and on the other side are likely to be extremely popular high-end goods, such as certain liquor.

As soon as the commissioner finished speaking, a bunch of red lights in front of the seats lit up, and the scene began to buzz from mutual communication. Pan Wen also shook his head lightly in his seat, this proposal is not to the appetite of the pirates, expanding trade is actually asking the big guys to reduce real piracy and spend more time on the way to trade.

A black male in the first round was chosen, and the others were immediately quieter.

"I know that long-distance trade is very profitable, but there are more than one or two tons of goods traded at a time, how can you make sure that increasing the volume of trade will not destroy the market demand?"

Pan Wen rolled his eyes below, this black man has a name in the player group, called drag! It seems to be questioning, but in fact, it is an opportunity for the committee members to describe the commercial composition more perfectly.

Sure enough, the chairman of the committee gave a good explanation almost without delay: "We will expand the trade management center of Saigeis, and set up a professional market assessment team in each cargo distribution center to feedback the market situation and changing trends at the first time, so as to ensure the interests of conventional goods to the greatest extent." In terms of luxury goods, the trade management center will need everyone to follow the unified dispatch to ensure the scarcity of goods in the target area, and the quota of luxury goods trade will be determined by the rules of similar points generated by the export of conventional goods. ”

After the explanation, the audience below was quiet for a while, and a few of them turned on the red light again.

The commissioner had to order one of them again, this time it was a white man with a national character face that looked quite calm.

"If we all go to trade, won't those merchant groups come and rob us if they get the force?"

His question is as if to say that a serial murderer will be counter-robbed by ordinary white-collar workers, but things are not so funny, but it is really possible!

There were only a few noticeable chuckles, and everyone else was quietly waiting to answer.

"We represent Segeis, the most powerful non-state force in the surrounding more than a dozen star fields, and if they dare to provoke our merchant group, they must have broken their brains."

"Whoa!" Some applauded, others laughed.

After everyone was happy, the committee member finished speaking: "Any merchant group that dares to obstruct normal trade behavior, we will issue a reward task to organize personnel to take devastating revenge on the merchant group, and the spoils of war will also give priority to compensating the members who have suffered losses when the situation allows, so you don't need to worry about this." ”

Pan Wen had already leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes, almost all of the NPCs in the Galactic Era had lost their memories of the previous era, and due to the limitations of their vision, they didn't know that there was a group called players, and their fun was definitely not based on simple trade, and even if they were, they would be aware of it when they were robbed by pirates a few times. Therefore, this proposal, which can be explained in a truly orderly reality, is here simply digging its own grave.

After accepting the applause again, the committee members bowed slightly to everyone and sat down, and then looked proud to the committee members next to them.

This was followed by the next proposal, illustrated by a middle-aged female commissioner with a blank face.

"I think that leaning towards long-distance trade, while it will ensure the prosperity of Segeis, will definitely cause Segeis to gradually lose its intimidating power in various star fields. My proposal was to develop externally mounted high-thrust engine units that would give our fleet an advantage in terms of acceleration, while building new ship factories to cope with the production pressures of new components. ”

It's also a proposal, but it's a pity that compared to the previous one, this female commissioner's proposal is full of flaws. Pan Wen shook his head, his eyes not opened, and the development of things seemed to be about to give up to the players at this time, which was like a comfortable nest.

Sure enough, after answering a question that seemed to be asked by "dragging", the second question got her into trouble.

"Although the speed has been increased, the increased intensity of the battle still represents greater battle damage, if you can't provide us with a new ship for free, I guess there is no reason for everyone to support you."

Yes, pirates are not a national force, there is no need to fight everyone's lives for Segeis, don't look at the presence of a large number of pirate leaders, if you really start a large-scale war, you have to run away at least eighty percent for your own interests. The proposal of the female commissioner was almost a forced demand for money from these guys, how could it be supported.

"The newly developed parts will be sold at the lowest price, and there will be a dedicated technical team to install them for free, so is there any harm to better mobility?"

Yes, I want money! The people here are not capitalists who are willing to risk bankruptcy for money, but pirates who are willing to sell their lives and souls for money! Another headache is that as a pirate base, Segeis cannot be compared with the development capacity of the country, except for the development of external thruster groups, it cannot fundamentally change the combat and survivability of the pirates, resulting in a significant reduction in the scope of the proposed right providers.

A few more people questioned, and the female committee member forcibly excused herself and sat back with a disgraced face, and the one who spoke in front of her was even more proud.

There is a proposal later.

In the name of Segeis, form a military alliance with the Gabri Federation, avoid the Gabre Federation as the world enemy of the Islamic Empire to follow up on the policy, and at the same time, you can also use the military deterrence of the Gabri Federation to make the power of the Islamic Empire restrain some outside the borders.

A very political proposal, but unfortunately this proposal is also congenitally flawed, the Gabri Federation has obtained the military alliance of Segeis, of course, the strength has increased greatly, but Segeis is a pirate group, and the reputation is there, and the Gabri Federation will become the common enemy of the surrounding countries because of the alliance! At the same time, this proposal would also put a great deal of war risk on all pirates, and large-scale warfare and looting are not the same thing.

After the last member of the "Ping Pong" committee sat down, the kind chairman of the committee rang the gavel again.

"That's what the committee is proposing, and you can explain it separately if you have other ideas."

The basis of Segeis is the military forces of commerce, trade transit, and pirates, and the three proposals have been so comprehensive that the audience has fallen silent for a while.

There was a red light on.

It's Pan Wen.

When the chairman's eyes came, there was also a large group of pirate leaders looking at the black-haired young man.

"Member 52, please, give us your opinion."

Pan Wen stood up, looked at the chairman and nodded in acknowledgment.

"Everyone is thinking about the current situation, the trade groups, trade, military comparisons, and so on. What I want to say is that the small ship open policy will inevitably stimulate a large number of guys who have not been to space to join the interest group, and according to the average economic share percentage of the resident star is more than 86%, I can assert that the strength of this group will be far stronger than the existing business group after arming the small ship combined! The current strength of Segeis will not be enough to provide us with sufficient security! Calmly glancing at a shocked or suddenly realized face, Pan Wen saluted again, "I'm done." ”

A certain existence restricts Pan Wen from directly describing the threat of "players" to NPCs, but in the eyes of NPCs, the Second World is a completely real world, and any force will have a source, and it is impossible to appear out of thin air, which is similar to Pan Wen's frigate needs a repair cycle and cannot be repaired instantly.
