Chapter 620: Negotiations
"Did you come to me because of the lack of resources in the town guard mansion?"
Veneto put down the coffee cup in his hand, and his eyes scanned back and forth between the Admiral and Bismarck.
No matter how young Veneto is, it is impossible to deny that her current status in the Italian mafia is second only to the admiral of this town...... The members of the Black Hand party were in awe of Veneto.
Many people will be so nervous that they can't even breathe just by talking to Veneto, because Veneto's simple words can decide their fate in the future.
The Admiral is different, although the Admiral occasionally calls Veneto's eldest sister, but in front of Veneto, the Admiral does not need to hide anything at all.
The roundabout greeting was omitted, and the Admiral quickly went straight to the point, stating the purpose of his visit.
"After so many years, you are finally willing to come to me for help, I can give you some of the resources, but in exchange, how about you stay in this town guard mansion for the next few days and obediently listen to me? The exact amount of gift is determined by the number of days you stay. ”
Veneto picked up the resource storage report for the Palermo Castle and made a decision after a cursory glance at the numbers.
"For every day you stay, you will be given 1,000 units of four resources, which can be regarded as the same nature as work, and of course, during this period, your shipwreck can also be by your side."
“……”
If Veneto had made it clear what the Admiral was going to do in the town, perhaps the Admiral would have treated it as a temporary part-time job and stayed for a few days......
Two days is 2,000 resources! This daily salary is enough for the Admiral to feed two wo-chans!
But the problem is that the scope of Veneto's phrase 'listen to me' is too vague...... If Veneto made the Admiral an idol like some blonde ponytail, the Admiral felt that his life had come to an end.
"Sister Veneto, I'm here this time with the purpose of trading resources with you."
The Admiral added again. Let Veneto understand that he doesn't mean to rub soft rice on resources! Of course... Except for dinners.
"I know, using my own body, this is also to feed the deep sea of my own town, I can understand."
"I don't understand it at all!! Besides, even if I sell myself, I won't be so cheap! At least turn over the ...... again."
"How many times?" Veneto interjected at this point, judging by her nonchalant look. It seems that the Admiral is willing to accept it no matter how many times she says.
"That's... If I think about it, steel, fuel, and ammunition are not needed, the important thing is that aluminum, aluminum resources can be doubled, not tripled, I may consider ......"
"Ahem!"
Bismarck, who had been silent beside him, saw that his admiral had inexplicably led the topic to selling. Immediately reminded the Admiral that the purpose of coming here was not to carry out such a dirty trade as selling his body!
And the regular transaction of exchanging resources for resources! Although both sides of the deal are organizations on the dark side of the world, this is much cleaner than the deal that the Admiral and Veneto are negotiating!
"I'm sorry..."
Veneto's offer was too tempting, so the Admiral couldn't help but think about it.
Although she didn't get along with Veneto for a long time, the Admiral knew that she was a ship lady with super self-control, and now she asked the Admiral to be obedient for a few days, it should be that the strategy on a certain sea area has encountered difficulties and needs the Admiral's assistance. Instead of being like a lion, hoping to take the Admiral for himself.
"Sister Veneto. The commodity is not me, but some rare metals. ”
"Rare metals?"
The term was very new to Veneto, and she had no knowledge of it...... But I've heard a little about it.
Some of these rare mineral elements, or rare earth, are as valuable as gold and diamonds!
Bismarck, who had been by the Admiral's side, took out a catalogue from his habitat and handed it to Veneto.
That catalogue shows the status of the metal production of the veins that Knoll has sorted out... All the metallic materials found in that vein are recorded on it, as well as the current reserves of the Deep Sea Guardian's Mansion.
"We've found a vein deep under the sea. The minerals in it are abundant and complex, but fortunately, our miners are among the best in the world. ”
Knorr had told the Admiral that in addition to the large amount of iron ore, that vein was mixed with many other mineral elements. If it is handed over to human beings to mine, these scarce mineral elements may be directly eliminated as impurities.
Noel has the ability to mine ore veins and refine them decades ahead of humans, and her habitat is born for this, so a large part of the rare mineral elements contained in the veins have been refined by Noll.
However... The minerals that had been refined had been piled up in the corners of the Deep Sea Town, useless.
"The estimate has been marked out in detail above... If you don't feel that you can accept it, you can lower it. ”
The only person the Admiral can entrust at this stage is Veneto, and if she entrusts the Enterprise Number, maybe she will agree... But there will certainly be all sorts of harsh conditions.
Money and resources are no longer important to the enterprise account, and it is the most dangerous to trade with this kind of person who treats money like paper.
As a member of the Mafia family, even if she has a lot of resources on hand to squander, she still has to consider the interests of the entire Mafia family...... This is also the reason why the Admiral is worried.
Veneto wasn't the kind of shipwit who was willful, and it was obviously unlikely that he would agree to such a dangerous deal simply because of his personal relationship with the Admiral.
Companionship with the deep sea...... This can be considered an act of the enemy of humanity in the world.
"I don't know the value of these metals, and I don't even understand the names of some of them."
Veneto put down the catalogue in his hand and told the Admiral frankly that her knowledge of this area was extremely limited.
"Give me some time, Luze... I will ask an expert to evaluate whether to cooperate with this matter, and if I can answer you tonight at the earliest. ”
"Thanks... I'll wait for your reply. ”
Sure enough, as soon as there was a question about interests, the atmosphere instantly became serious.
Seeing that the Admiral was about to say goodbye, Veneto took off the glove of his left hand... Drop your left hand down.
The Admiral also knew what he had to do, and walked behind Veneto's desk, half-knelt on the ground, and gently grasped the fingertips of Veneto's left hand.
Kiss the hand... The etiquette used when greeting in Europe, Veneto didn't want to be so formal at first, but although she was almost twenty-five years old, she still retained the childishness of a girl in her heart, probably hoping to see the Admiral kneeling in front of her, and probably signaled the Admiral to do so before the Admiral left.
This is also a very important etiquette in the mafia.
As the Admiral of the client, it was only natural that she should maintain basic respect, even if she and Veneto were all too familiar friends......
It's just that... Under this solemn view, after the Admiral kissed the back of Veneto's hand, the Moaning of the Admiral's stomach due to his hunger broke it all perfectly.
"Uh... What the ......" The Admiral, who had finished kissing his hand, stood up a little embarrassed, and his stomach was once again growling uncontrollably.
"Because I was in a hurry to come to Italy, I didn't have time to eat breakfast or lunch......
"It's still far from enough, to adapt to this kind of formal occasion."
Veneto chuckled, not surprised at all, for every time the Admiral got serious, it didn't last more than three seconds.
However, Veneto preferred the Admiralty to be like the so-called elites.
"I choose to exchange resources at an equal price, but I want to come to you for dinner? Lu Ze, you still haven't changed at all, but it's just right... Today I booked a seat at a restaurant, there are exactly two, and it is still a good restaurant, and it should be full. ”
“……”
It is a good restaurant to be praised by Veneto, and it must be the kind of place to go in formal attire!
"Actually... I'll just go to the canteen of the town guard mansion and have a meal......"
"It's rare to visit this city, and it's a pity not to go out and see it." Veneto saw what the Admiral was worried about and continued: "I will have the clothes prepared for you, of course not for you, the cost of which is to be paid for in this possible deal, I think Bismarck must also like to enjoy a little alone time, right?" ”
Bismarck, who had been silent beside him, had a rare slightly flustered expression, although he quickly calmed down, but he was still seen by Veneto.
"Which restaurant will invite a special chef today, maybe it's fate, I think it's necessary for you to check it out, Lu Ze......"
"Since the eldest sister has said so, there is no way..."
The Admiral, who was too hungry, had no strength to refuse, and after Veneto told him the exact location, the Admiral and Bismarck were taken away by several destroyers to choose their formal suits.
"Is there an hour left until the next two guests visit? Why do you have to take a ferry to Europe...... But that's fine. ”
Veneto picked up the nineties-style phone on his desk and turned the number wheel on it to dial a number.
"Let Meesda come to me, as soon as possible."
After hearing the recovery on the other side of the phone, Veneto hung up the phone and continued to pick up the coffee cup on the table, the sky behind Veneto had begun to gradually fill with orange, and dusk had arrived... Soon the night will envelop the city. (To be continued.) )
