Chapter I: Negotiations
"If you don't give it to me, I tell you, if you don't give it to me, I'll jump from here. ”
"You jump, you have the ability to jump. ”
"You're pushing me, and I'll make you regret it. As he spoke, he leaped forward.
"It's the first time I've seen a Wingman threaten someone by jumping into a floating boat. Shure stared blankly at the winged man standing on the side of the float boat with a tragic face, and watched her jump out with a stiff and expressionless face, and then ...... Flew back from the other side.
"You guys are so cold-blooded. Yulia flew back as if she had done nothing just now, her fingers were holding the tips of her hair, and she said solemnly, "I said before, I will send you a boat back to the city alone, and you will show me that thing, and the promise must be fulfilled, otherwise it will make you feel the wrath of the Wing Man." ”
"Well, I already feel it. Shure looked over the edge where Yulia had just jumped and nodded earnestly, "Very strong anger. ”
"Stop talking nonsense, get out of the core you said. ”
"Eternal Core. Shuer sighed, took out the heavily wrapped metal ball from his backpack, carefully opened it and held it in his hand, "I didn't say I wouldn't show it to you, but take a look at the forty gold coins and touch the eighty gold coins, Lisa, remember to settle the score." ”
"Uh-huh. "The great archbishop waved a small notebook, haha, stupid five hundred gold coins, ten days of dry bread revenge, finally found a chance for you to pay it back, you wait, I won't even sprinkle salt on you!
"Poverty limits your imagination, pathetic fellow. Grabbing the same as taking the eternal core and holding it tightly in her arms, Yulia finally had the confidence to say it disdainfully, "I'll say something casually, the money I earn is enough for me to hold it for a lifetime, oh, you humans for a lifetime." ”
"That's great. Xiuer said with a straight face, "In this case, you don't have a little psychological burden to trap." ”
"Don't even think about it, you underestimate our wingers' dedication to wealth, you can make so much money, do you really think that our wingers' money is spent casually? ”
"Hehe, hehe. ”
"Hey, this thing, this thing, do you want to sell it, how much, as long as you dare to make a price, I will buy it for as much as you want." ”
"Hehe, hehe. ”
"It's a good thing, let's not talk about the workmanship, it's not at all that Parvadiga's poor craftsmanship level can make it, let's just talk about its design ideas, you look at the distribution of the lines here, and the metal lattice here, wow, there's a magic magic circle on the back, and there's a core, the core, what kind of material is this? Hell, the energy acceptance is at least three million Cameron, oh my God, this is a synthetic material, how can there be such an artifact with such a high energy acceptance? Selius will get up from the underworld and cry bitterly, I ......"
"You're about to tear it down. ”
"Whew, it's a miraculous creation. Yulia held the Eternal Core in her hands, her movements gentle like a lover's caresse, "You show me this thing, the purpose must be impure, say, what do you want to do?I warn you, I'm only two hundred and thirty-eight years old, and I'm still a child, even if you want me to exchange my body...... How many times?"
"I can't give you this. Under Yulia's piercing and terrifying gaze, Shul ruthlessly snatched the Eternal Core from her hands, "This is the food of Wei's life in the future, Wei, do you like the taste of this food?"
"Your Excellency, the results of the analysis show that there is a ninety-four-point seventy-five probability that you do not need my answer. ”
"You've learned badly, Wei. Shul pursed his lips, ignoring the mastermind who didn't understand tacit understanding, and showed Yulia a standard clerical smile, as evidenced by the blood and tears of the merchants of the Rose Capital, every time Shul showed such a smile, it meant that a nightmare was about to come, "Yulia, the name of this thing is called the Eternal Core. ”
"You just said that a minute ago. "Keep her eyes on the metal ball in Shuer's hand, Yulia can still be distracted," said something useful. ”
"Well, useful, something like that, I have six. ”
Blinking, blinking, plucking a few hairs from her wings, ah, it hurts, it doesn't seem to be a dream, Yulia finally returned to reality: "Six? literally?"
"Well, this one is Wei's, no one can snatch it, and there are five other ones, hehehehe. ”
"Whew, I see. Yulia leaned back on the back of the chair, the special chair made so that she could still flap her wings at will even though she was leaning on the backrest, "My bid must be the highest, and it is reasonable for you to come to me, can it really drive a floating ship?"
"How do I know?"
"No, I'm not talking about the types of energy, those can be transformed, I'm talking about energy reserves. ”
"Theoretically, it is possible, at least two rotations are enough to ensure the infinite endurance of a floating ship, if you can call at the port regularly on the way, even one is enough, but I can't be sure, only you can be sure. ”
"You should understand that this is very important, whether they can supply enough energy determines their value, and if one can really guarantee the navigation of a ship, then its value ......"
"Priceless. ”
"Yes. Although she didn't want to admit it, Yulia was the head of the Gilcelles family, and she didn't bother to lie in the negotiations, so she could only sigh and reluctantly say, "Compared to the profit it will bring, no matter how high the price is, it is not too high." ”
"Is it just profit? Hehe, this ordinary lady of the winged man, you are not honest. Shuer said with a smile, "Profit can only be ranked last." ”
Indeed, freight, passenger transport, farther shipping lanes, more frequent, more extensive passenger sources, and then, expanding contacts, the shift of the grace of the Lord of the Sky, a greater voice in the race and even in the world, the benefits that can be brought by five floating boats are simply endless, and these invisible benefits must be less conspicuous than the profit gains.
Not to mention too far, let's just say that the interests are the most intuitive, as long as a few waterways are put into use, the Gil Celes family led by Yulia will become the head of the seven branches of the ancient Celes family, even if she squandered all the property of the seven branches of Celes, the other branches will also give more gold coins with a smile, this is the charm of the right to speak, or rather, this is the charm of monopoly.
"Aren't you really a mouse?" The rat in the vault, this is a folk proverb of the Winged Humans, in the early legends of the Winged Humans, the rats liked to build nests in the vaults and regarded all the gold coins as their own property, and anyone who wanted to take gold coins from the vault would be attacked by them, therefore, the Winged people always liked to use the rats in the vault to describe those fakes who were greedy and plundered the wealth of others.
Of course, it's actually a gold-eating rat that feeds on metal, and attacking other creatures just thinks they're going to steal their own food, even if you put a pile of steel, the effect is pretty much the same.
"Oh, please call me a vampire who follows the sound of gold coins colliding. Shul bowed deeply to his chest, "I will be honored." ”
"You're still very proud, and you came up with this name yourself, how boring you are. Yulia rolled her eyes and stared at the Eternal Core with her chin in her back for a long time, "Let's be straight, how much do you want, half a million? ”
Lisa's eyes widened, and she felt that she had begun to spew white smoke from her nose, with the wealth of the Jill Celes family, she could not say enough to make up this kind of thing, which shows that Yulia is already imperative to the eternal core, ha? 500,000, 1 million? Let the great Lisa count the numbers, how many zeros are this, no, the brain is too messy, I can't count them, in short, it's a lot of money,
"Offer?" Shure smiled meaningfully, "Heh, I'll give it to you for free." ”
"Then I don't. Yulia raised her eyebrows, "There is no such thing as giving for no reason, especially for people like you, how much you give, you always have to get more back in the end, give me for free?" ”
"Of course, it's not for nothing, it definitely comes at a price. Shuer knocked on the table and was silent for a while, satisfying Yulia's appetite, and then said slowly, "I have two conditions. ”
Say. ”
"First, in terms of actual returns, I don't want gold, I don't want cash, I use these five Eternal Cores, plus what Lord Simon is about to entrust me to look for as my investment in you, and when the routes are established in the future, I want half of the profits of all your routes. ”
"Why don't you grab it?"
Just kidding, sailing can significantly improve safety, for those who are afraid of death but have to travel in person, the ticket will not hesitate to set how expensive, just a few hundred gold coins, compared with precious lives, it is simply negligible, and if it is freight, although it is not possible to transport too heavy goods, but choose light and expensive luxuries, it can be faster and safer than taking the land route, each ship of goods, is equivalent to carrying a pile of gold coins. It is conceivable that once the route is established, although there are only five ships, the income will be extremely considerable, and if Shur really wants to take half of the income, I am afraid that it will not take twenty years, and the income will exceed the simple sale of the Eternal Core.
"Robbery is tiring and dangerous, how can it be easy to blackmail you. Shuer winked at Lisa, and the brother and sister showed the same holy smile, "Think for yourself, without the Eternal Core, you can't get these benefits at all, no, it's too arbitrary to say that you can't get it, if you can use the hedron to ensure the operation of the route regardless of the cost, the problem is that in the end, not only will you not earn a lot of gold coins, but you will lose a lot of money every day." Now with the Eternal Core, an astonishing profit of hundreds of thousands of gold coins per day on average, and so many hidden incomes, although the income is half of mine, but overall, you still earn, just a little less. ”
"Compared with not earning, earning a little less is the best choice, people, the most important thing is to be content, not too greedy, right?"
"Hey, who's greedy, bastard. ”
