Chapter 302: The Difference Between Exclusive and Priority
The other party put forward two points, the second point Luca couldn't ask for, but the first point he had some concerns.
Wind and wave indicators, and all other similar items have to be traded on the black market?
"Looks like you have your own ideas?" said Blake, observing.
Lukka nodded: "Yes, this point, I think it will be changed this way: the Undercurrent Chamber of Commerce will get the first priority of the Wind and Wave Indicator, that is, if no one else bids higher, this thing will be handed over to you to sell." ”
The difference between the exclusive agent and the preferred agent is just two words, and the initiative of the transaction can be completely transposed.
"And," Lukka continued, "other similar items, if you want, you have to renegotiate and pay a certain agency fee, and I will only consider letting you act as an agent." ”
"By the way," he said, not intending to stop there, "you must inform me of the buyers of these items, and you may sell them with my consent." I don't want my stuff to slip into the hands of my enemies. ”
With that, Lukka poured himself another cup of green tea.
He felt that in the face of such conditions, even if Blake didn't turn his face immediately, he would at least be a little embarrassed, and go back to his boss to discuss countermeasures.
Unexpectedly, the other party not only did not object, but also did not even frown, still kept a smile on his face and said: "You will definitely ask for this, and what our boss said is true." ”
"Your boss, the guy whose name he can't even pronounce?, how would he know what I'm asking for?" Lukka was a little surprised.
"Don't get me wrong, our boss is not a god, and of course he can't know everything. Blake hastened to explain.
What if it's a god? aren't we just looking for trouble with those gods?, Lukka thought to himself.
Blake continued: "Our boss certainly didn't go into as much detail as you said, he just said that you would probably make a rather radical offer and would just agree to our priorities. ”
"What else is your boss talking about?" asked Luca with a grimace. The idea is expected by the other party, and it will feel a little uncomfortable on anyone.
"He also said that you like green tea more than black tea, I wonder if that's right?" replied Blake with a smile.
If Luca was just uncomfortable just now, now he is starting to wonder. He prefers small details like green tea, which even Ollie doesn't necessarily know, but the other party says it clearly through Blake's mouth. The guy who couldn't pronounce the name was as if he had known himself for a long time, which made Luca even more alert.
"Who the hell is your boss?" Lukka leaned out of his chair and grabbed the placket of Blake's chest through the coffee table.
"If you ask me, I can't answer. Blake's face did not change, "I have never left the Sunset Islands, and our boss has never been to the Sunset Islands in my memory. I haven't seen him. ”
Lukka turned his head to look at Crete.
Even with the ability to see the eye, Crete would not have known the identity of this mysterious black market owner. However, as a humanoid lie detector, he is still very competent to judge whether what Blake said at this time is true through the other party's heartbeat and breathing conditions.
Crete nodded slightly at Luka, indicating that the other party was not lying.
"Well, I don't embarrass you. Lukka let go of Blake's clothes, "In that case, we don't have anything to talk about, you can go." ”
"No, this contract hasn't been signed yet. Blake said, looking down to fix the folds in his clothes.
"There's no way I'm going to back down, you're going to die of this. Lukka said categorically.
"You misunderstood, I didn't mean to let you back down," Blake raised his head and showed a standard toothy smile, "Our boss's order is that we accept all the conditions you have proposed. ”
"Huh?" Lukka was shaken.
Bargaining is a physical job, similar to tug-of-war: both sides pull a rope at one end, and after pulling the middle point to their own line little by little, they are considered to have won.
But now, as soon as he exerted his strength, the other party withdrew his hand, although it was easy to win on the surface, it made Luca feel like he was squatting.
Blake picked up the quill, quickly added Luka's request to the contract, sprinkled lime powder to dry the ink, and handed it to Luka.
Lukka looked through it three times from beginning to end and didn't find any possible loopholes. He handed the parchment to Kate, who had always been good at handling words, and did not see anything wrong.
After everyone scrutinized it, Lukka could only admit that this parchment was really a normal contract, drafted according to his intentions, and allowed himself to take advantage of it.
"Rest assured, this is not a trap. Blake used the bronze name tag as a stamp, pressing it on one side of the contract, "You can think of it as an investment from our boss." ”
Whether it's an investment or not, Luca doesn't care. Anyway, in his opinion, the word investment and flickering are just different ways of writing. However, while this contract is in effect, it will at least save him the trouble of being sold on the black market again.
Lukka finally signed his name, and when the ink on it had been blotted dry by lime powder, he rolled the parchment back up and gave it to Crete for safekeeping.
"So, are you going to disembark at the nearest port?" Blake asked.
"Let me think about it, and give you an answer tomorrow, this ship will go according to its current course today. Lukka said and waved his hand, "You can go out." ”
Blake stood up, bowed slightly, and exited the door.
Luka didn't dwell too much on that contract, and what worries him now is another thing.
Since coming to SeaWorld, the time to shut up and be separated from him has never exceeded a day. Now, the magic book was brought to the divine domain by those gods, and how to shut up was a big stone pressing on his heart, making him almost breathless.
He gave everyone his idea, but he couldn't come up with any plans.
That divine domain, let alone ever been there, even a mortal who was lucky enough to catch a glimpse of it had never been.
"Don't just think about this place in the Divine Domain," Daniel calmed down for a rare time, "Of the three scenes that Selva Fes showed you, the first two obviously tell you the secret behind the opening of this passage, and the third one hasn't been found to be useful yet?"
"Yes, then the third scene, you can talk about it in detail, and see if we can analyze some ways together. Phil picked up a small notebook with a brown leather cover and prepared to take notes.
This suggestion makes a lot of sense, and if Daniel hadn't revealed the secret of the bilge stone last time, Luca wouldn't have figured out what Selva meant if he wanted to break his head.
So, he described all the details he could recall, in such detail that it was even a little verbose.
