Chapter 2 The Millennium Plan
"It doesn't matter who is greedy (it's very important or not). The key is those little cute little cute people who are jingling, they are the most important." Shuer took out a gold coin, thought about it, put it back and changed another copper coin, and played with it at his fingertips, "Look at these gold coins (this is a copper coin, thank you). You have mastered the technology, I have the energy source, and you have to rely on me to find the control system. In this way, it is actually very reasonable to calculate your air aviation business as jointly operated by both of us."
"I didn't say that the cooperation operation was unreasonable, but half of it was separated? It was absolutely impossible." Yulia was very determined and had no room for maneuver. "I used the manual, the technology, the equipment, the safety personnel, the operation, and the risks were taken. But after you pay at one time, you still have to pay so much, don't even think about it."
"This is the charm of monopoly, Yulia." Shur said leisurely.
"No matter how monopolize it, half is too much." Yulia said seriously. "Sul, doing business is not as simple as you think. Indeed, what you ask for is half of the profit, which is deducted from all costs, but there are still many expenses beyond costs, which cannot be calculated at all. You need to take out a part of the profit and fill it in. If you want to leave half of the profit, you will be very passive when you really operate it. So, I'm sorry, I can't accept half of the profit."
"Ha, it's a bargaining process, of course," Shuer said with a smile, "I told me about my expected price, of course you can also talk about yours."
"I will give you 20% at most, so I can't get more."
"You really dare to say that Yulia, more than half of it was cut off at one time." Shuer said slowly, "Twenty percent, haha, do you think it's reasonable? This is an unlimited energy that has not been damaged for thousands of years. After all, it can be used for thousands of years, and it's worth twenty percent?"
"Huh, then you can tell me the price with sincerity. Don't say anything 50% more, otherwise I'll kick you out of the boat."
"Ha, then that's the case, no more than a percentage. Just say a fixed number. You pay 80,000 gold coins to the Dark Moon Temple in a year."
"Hey, bastard, do you think the profit is in a year? Eighty thousand gold coins, isn't this about fifty percent?" With Yulia's business acumen, she had already calculated the approximate income of five floating ships. The net profit of a year should be around 200,000 gold coins, and 80,000 gold coins are almost half. In the years of bad returns, she might have to make more than half of the profits.
"It was indeed the case in the first few years, but what about ten years later? Twenty years later?" Shure's smile was like a demon. "Fixed numbers are actually the most beneficial for you."
Yulia stopped talking, and Shul did talk about the key issues. Indeed, the first few years and decades, the returns would not be too high, but with the accumulation of credibility and the change of habits, the returns would gradually increase. In a few decades, 80,000 gold coins would really not be too much for the income of the five ships.
"Ha, I understand. You made up your mind to ask for 80,000 gold coins from the beginning. If you don't say 50,000 or 100,000, it's just that it's 80,000 gold coins that are not up or down. This has been calculated secretly, right?" Yulia slapped her wings, as if she was slapping Shur's face. "And, fixed amounts can also avoid the trouble of checking accounts."
"Praise the Holy Spirit, we are all priests serving the gods. How can we be with money all day long? We are not believers in the Temple of Wealth." Shur actually admitted with a smile, "And it is too sad to check the accounts every year, so it is better to be simpler."
This is the truth. Floating income may make more profits, but I am facing expert business people. It is too easy to make trouble in accounts. Perhaps now, Yulia is embarrassed to use any tricks because of Shur, but Shur's lifespan is always limited. After he dies, Yulia will not be sure what Yulia will do. After hundreds of years, Yulia will die, the last bit of friendship will fade away, and the two sides will only have simple business transactions, and then the problem is the inevitable result.
The fixed 80,000 gold coins per year will notarize by the Contract Temple, no matter how you do things in the accounts, it will not affect this number.
"You are tying the Dark Moon Temple to our Jill Celes family, so that we can always support you." Yulia sighed, obviously already moved, "You must know that even in the Sky Temple, the amount of money the family worships every year is only 20,000 gold coins."
That's it? You just want to say something else?
"Haha, they are just simply getting it, and we are a win-win situation." Shuer said with a smile, "So, do you accept it?"
"Everyone is old friends, so I'll tell the truth. Sixty thousand gold coins per year, this is the upper limit I can accept. It doesn't make any sense to bargain. Sixty thousand gold coins, if you agree, we will make a deal. If you don't agree, I can't help you. You can go to find someone else." Yulia blinked cunningly, "As you said, this is the charm of monopoly, my friend."
Damn it, she reacted.
Shuer scratched his head in distress. Indeed, she was also a monopolist. No one except her would buy five eternal cores at such a high price. If the negotiations broke down, the most disadvantage would be herself. After calming down, the cunning winged man obviously had figured out this truth, so he was so fearless. Tsk, it seems that the two sides in this confrontation could be accepted. Just when they thought of losing 20,000 gold coins, Shuer felt that his heart was bleeding.
Very good. It is very important to regard the part of the money that I didn't make much money as a loss.
"You're ruthless." Shur gritted his teeth, tears almost flowing out, "It's about 60,000, but it's time to pay in advance at the beginning of each year."
"Hey, you will feel uncomfortable if you don't take advantage of it, right?"
"That's right."
Lisa always stood aside, listening quietly, and learning seriously. She knew that her brother brought herself by her side this time just to let her learn. Of course, it was not about how shameless he was. Lisa had learned this thoroughly, but about learning how to act in a flexible way.
This is a thousand-year plan.
It is good to sell a large sum of money at one time, but the rules of the Pavatiga Church are that it cannot be used for business or investment. No matter how much money is, it will be used up. But now it is different. Sixty thousand gold coins per year, a medium-sized temple, the daily expenses of the priests, maintenance of facilities, replacement of equipment, including the maintenance of branch temples, and the travel expenses of the priests, are just this number. With the current scale of the Dark Moon Temple, it is probably not even a sixth of the annual scale. In other words, once this business is negotiated, as long as the Gilceles family still exists and the floating boats are still flying in the sky, the Dark Moon Temple will no longer have to worry about funding. It can not only improve the quality of life, but also have a sum of money to rebuild the temple's buildings every year. The wish of hundreds of years is finally seen.
"The funding issue is just an extra gain, it is not the point, it has never been." The eyes swept across Lisa's face. Shur seemed to be talking to Yulia, and he seemed to be teaching Lisa, "What we want in the Dark Moon Temple is not just money, we have a second condition."
"Wei is right?" Yulia raised her head and complained to the sky, "Look, look, let me say, your commander is so bad. You have clearly retired to another world and are reluctant to let you go, forcing you to go back to work. If I were you, I would ask him for a salary."
"Ms. Yulia, I am the base master's brain. It is my mission to obey the commander's orders, and the master's brain has no body and does not need to pay wages."
"Why don't you? You have to think about yourself, replace yourself with a more advanced energy board, a larger memory, and a high-end speaker. Also, if I develop the projection equipment in your world, shouldn't you replace it? I tell you, women should be kind to yourself. Although you don't need facial masks, lipsticks, etc., you also want..."
"Give me a little bit." Shuer said angrily, "I want to add one to the treaty, and you have to provide Wei with all these for free."
"Greedy Gold-Eating Beast, go dream." Yulia made a contemptuous gesture, "I can promise you this. Once you find a substitute, Wei can return it to you. I can also help you transform Wei's equipment for free so that she can use the Eternal Core you left behind, but for the rest, you have to pay normally."
"Haha, for granted." Xiuer nodded with satisfaction, "The second condition has also reached a consensus, then, the third condition..."
"Hey, didn't you just say there were only two conditions?"
"There are three conditions, isn't this common sense?"
"Damn common sense." Yulia decided that if she had business cooperation in the future, she would definitely squeeze this bastard hard, "What else do you want?"
"Haha, when the floating boat is put into use, Lord Saimen will naturally bless the floating boat and sailors and passengers who believe in Lord Saimen on it. A moving worship hall for Lord Saimen is naturally indispensable," said Shuer leisurely, "But don't you think that there is only one worship hall, which makes the floating boat too monotonous?"
"Don't feel it."
"But I think." Shure spread his hands, "so, I suggest adding another Luna's worship room, which will be blessed by Luna and Saimen. Of course, the daily maintenance will be the sailors on the airboat. If there is a sailor's name on the faith list, they will be responsible for maintaining the worship room at that time, and to promote the glory of Luna and Saimen to the passengers, I think this idea is very good."
"I have no right to decide this." Yulia said for a moment of contemplation, "I am not responsible for the issue of sectarian power. You should have an interview with Lord Symon's Archbishop."
"I know, so I put this in the third line." Shuer looked at the sky in the distance, and the outline of the floating city's brilliant capital had appeared in his sight. "Then, the agreement was established. Once all the conditions were met, our cooperation will officially begin."
"Very good, the agreement was established." Yulia said seriously, "To celebrate the cooperation between the two sides, should we show me the eternal core again?"
Chapter completed!
