Chapter 270: Black on Black
Luka stared at Blake intently, and then gritted his teeth and said, "You guys are blatant robbery!"
The other party looked him directly into the eyes, as if he didn't feel the threat in his eyes at all, and still replied unhurriedly: "Look at what you said, we are serious businessmen. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info those businesses of yours are the real robbery. ”
"Don't talk about these useless things, you want me to pay such unreasonable money, there is no door!" Luca's face became even more gloomy.
"If you refuse to fulfill the contract, then we have to take countermeasures. Blake meant it very politely, but he still had a courtesy smile on his face.
"Wait!" Lukka didn't ignore the details of the other party's words, "When did I sign a contract with you?"
"Well," Blake rubbed the identification tag in his hand, "At the bottom of all black market mailboxes, there are two sentences: the cost of the assessment required to trade special items is borne by the transaction applicant. By submitting the transaction application, the applicant is deemed to have agreed to the matter. ”
Lukka was stunned for a moment, he really didn't look at the bottom of the mailbox carefully during the day, and he had the impression that the mailbox was completely black, and he didn't see any words written on it. But the words of Blake in front of him are conclusive, not at all like improvised rhetoric.
"You don't have to say that in black ink, do you?" asked Luca.
"Of course not," Blake shook his head, "it's engraved on the mailbox and painted in black." If you touch it carefully, you'll find it. ”
"Who's going to fumble around with an email address if they're fine?!" Lukka shouted angrily.
Blake shrugged, "I'll do it, I touched it before I came to you." ”
Since coming to the Sunset Islands, Lukka felt that he was surpassed by others for the first time in the matter of "two", he frowned and asked, "You just said that you would take countermeasures against me, what exactly are you going to do?
He felt that the other party was just a verbal threat, and he couldn't make any big moves. If you want him, a pirate lord, to be obedient, neither the Brohn Empire nor the June Alliance have such skills.
"Look at what you said, we are businessmen, how can we use such a barbaric method. "The countermeasure against you is to inform all of our customers who do business with us that they are not allowed to do any more business with your pirate syndicate." ”
At first glance, Lukka felt that this move was not painful. After thinking about it carefully, he asked again: "How big is your customer base?"
Blake lowered his head and thought for a while and replied, "If you don't count the Empire and the Alliance, according to the financial reports of the last month, it probably covers about 83% of the merchant ships in the archipelago, and 54% of the pirate ships under your command. ”
"No kidding, how is it possible for so many ships to obey your orders?" Lukka didn't believe it.
"It's not an order, we're businessmen with the spirit of contract. These are also written in the contract, and if you complete this business with us, there will be such a clause in the contract. Blake said.
"Don't talk about that, how can you get those people to do what you contracted? Don't tell me and don't let people do business with them!"
Blake replied honestly: "It's not that troublesome, we just don't lend money to merchants." ”
"You're still acting as a bank?" Lukka asked, surprised.
"What is a bank?" Blake really didn't seem to have heard of the term.
"It's a place to save money and lend. Lukka said casually, regardless of whether his explanation was accurate or not.
Blake's "don't lend" just now is an understatement, but people have to pay attention to it, for businessmen, if the capital channel is grasped by the other party, then maybe they will really stop all cooperation with themselves. And now more than half of Tata's economic source is the protection fees paid by these merchant ships.
"Actually, you don't have to worry, if the business is successful, this valuation fee can be discounted or even reduced. "Blake probably didn't want to get into a big deal with such a big prospect.
Luca disagreed: "Then I have to pay tens of millions, am I not more at a loss?"
"If you can't come up with that much cash at the moment, you can also pay more interest. Blake said with a smile.
"That's it, don't think I don't know, interest is the big head, okay?" Lukka didn't eat.
"Then ...... or not," Blake said with a "everything for the sake of the customer", "if you have anything valuable in your hand, you can offset it with a valuation." ”
"You're not trying to trick me into the cost of the appraisal one more time, are you?" Lukka heard the word "valuation" again.
"What do you mean by 'cheating,'" replied Blake, "the appraisal fee is a normal expense, and we will not charge less than any of yours." ”
"Well, the whole world is going to cease to exist, so," said Luca, "you don't want me to lose my old age and be cheated by you! I don't have anything of value here that can be transferred, if you want to do something, come and come, I won't pay anyway." ”
He said it very hard, if he loosened his tone a little, he couldn't tell what the other party would want, maybe they could all open their mouths on the Silent Death.
"You don't have to be so decisive, I'll help you think of something. 'Blake obviously did some investigation on Luca and came prepared this time.
"What's that?" Lukka asked, probably not charging any money anyway.
"I heard the other day that you once gave Captain Haakon some interesting knick-knacks, pieces of glass that can be invisible for hours when thrown under your feet. Do you remember?" Blake asked.
Lukka nodded, he didn't give any outsiders the enchanted glass block, only the three of Haken got a few pieces when they went to Beifeng Song Island, but he didn't expect this fat man to be a rare thing, and he blew it when he saw people in the tavern, which made the whole Tata Island spread.
He doesn't feel sorry for this thing, as long as he takes some time, he wants as much as he wants. What worries Lukka is that the magic attached to it is too powerful for ordinary people, and if it falls into the hands of a killer like Captain Marlowe, even his own safety will have to be taken care of.
"It's this kind of thing, I think the price should not be low, how can a piece be sold for more than a million. Blake continued.
Luca was surprised, but swallowed the phrase back into his stomach. When this kind of bargaining, you must be quiet in order to get the most benefits. Moreover, he really didn't intend to let the glass block attached to the invisibility technique circulate.
"No, though, I have another thing like that, and let's see how much it's worth. Lukka thought for a moment and said.
