The Pirate: The Black Duke

"There is no need for the world government to provide manpower, material resources, or financial resources, and the world government does not need to pay anything. As long as you give an authorization, you can get huge benefits.

Nicholas is obviously very interested in this proposal. He can make money by lying at home. Of course he is willing to do this kind of thing. Besides, if you can train across the sea, it will be great for the world government. thing.

Nicholas understands that this proposal is good for both parties. The world government only needs to make a name, and it does not matter if the operation rights are given to others.

"Sixty billion Baileys." Nikola immediately said a number. "The [Operation Permit for Universal Connectivity] can be handed over to you, but you have to pay 60 billion Baileys for operating expenses to the world government every year."

"Impossible." Reinhardt immediately refused, looking at Nikolai and said, "I will calculate for you the various ores needed to build the sea train, as well as power energy, wood and other materials. I found someone to make preliminary calculations. Just to build a sea train back and forth on the upside down mountain would cost close to 100 billion Baileys."

Of course, the cost of building a sea train on the upside-down mountain is much higher than that on the sea. The main reason is that the seawater of the upside-down mountain is too harsh and the environment is too harsh. This kind of project is extremely difficult, not to mention other difficulties.

"At least not less than 50 billion Baileys." Nikola knew in his heart that the annual operating expenses of 60 billion Baileys were indeed a bit exaggerated, but he couldn't guess Reinhardt's bottom line.

Originally, he had a nonchalant attitude. Because of the requirements put forward by the world government, Reinhardt was very unlikely to accept it. But now he hears Reinhardt’s suggestion that nothing needs to be done every year, as long as In a symbolic sense, giving an operating authorization can generate tens of billions of Baileys.

In this way, if he can win greater benefits for the world government, his future position may be further promoted, and he is more likely to be reused by the five old stars.

Negotiations have always been a tug-of-war to test each other’s bottom line. Nicolas knew very well in his heart. Similarly, Reinhardt also understood that the operating expenses of 50 billion Baileys a year are high for him, but The huge benefits it brings are totally worthwhile, but you can't easily give up the bottom line of negotiation you stick to. As a businessman, you must fight for money.

"Twenty-five billion Baileys, this is the biggest money I can pay." Reinhardt directly said a number. He looked at Nikolai's pensive expression without stopping, so he continued: " I believe that the world government cannot find a more sincere collaborator than me."

"As a businessman, my integrity has always been guaranteed. You can inquire about it in Beihai."

"In other words, this cooperation is beneficial to your world government without any harm, but for me, I need to bear more risks, financial risks, and being attacked by pirates during construction and operation. The risk of not being able to find suitable talents to build sea trains, etc.

"Of course, I am not worried about these. Since I am willing to build the sea train project, I must have considered these issues. What worries me most is the integrity of your world government."

Having said that, Reinhardt turned his gaze to Nikolai without any concealment.

"Integrity issue?" Nicholas gave him a slightly indifferent look. "Are you questioning our world government?"

"If one day, your world government cancels my sea train operation authority, then I am not in a blood loss?" Reinhardt did not care about the indifference of the guy in front of him, and retorted directly.

"As long as you are willing to cooperate well, there is no need for our world governments to do such short-sighted things."

"Even so, this is still the biggest risk I need to take in the process of cooperation with the world government." He did not believe in the promise of the world government, not to mention that this promise was only spoken by an official.

"How do you want to solve it?" Nikolai asked, he obviously didn't want the negotiation to remain deadlocked.

When he heard this, Reinhardt smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said: "In this case, I am making the last step, and at the same time I am willing to take this seemingly non-existent but potentially fatal risk."

"The annual operating expenses are 30 billion Baileys, and starting from the second year, the annual operating expenses will increase by 5% on the basis of the first year, and the increase in operating expenses will be capped at 40 billion."

30 billion in the first year, 31.5 billion in the second year, and 33 billion in the third year.

This is the biggest concession he can make in this project.

"In order to make the cooperation between our two parties closer, I will allocate an additional 3 billion Baileys each year. These funds are mainly used for the remuneration of world government officials during this cooperation. Of course, this fund will be paid. You will manage it to Master Nicholas, and I won't bother about how to allocate and spend it."

Simply put, it is a rebate.

Hearing this, Nikolai was not surprised. Liou, the world government official who went to Polkalia with Saint Carl Emma last time, gained huge benefits after returning from that time, and he led such an important cooperation. Projects deserve greater benefits.

Therefore, these three billion Baileys are at ease.

Thinking of this, Nicolas suddenly smiled: "No problem, then based on 30 billion Baileys, increasing year by year, I will give you exclusive operating rights as soon as I go back."

"But there is one more thing that needs to be solved by your world government, otherwise the sea train project will not proceed."

"You mean Tom Murloc?" Nikola knew naturally that only Tom Murloc could complete the construction of the sea train project.

"Don't worry about this. The Smoking Tom that Murloc Tom is responsible for has been completed. By that time, this feat will naturally be able to offset the previous crime."

"Tom the Murloc's trial is imminent, what if the crimes can't be offset?" Reinhardt is still a little worried. The world government has always wanted to obtain Pluto's design drawings from Tom the Murloc, so it acquiesced to what Spandham did. Because, but he couldn't always stare at Spandam, if everything really couldn't be stopped, how would he save Tom the Murloc?

Thinking of this, Reinhardt said again, "The Four Seas Train Project is very important for both of us. I don't want any accidents with Tom Murloc."

"This is a phone worm with an independent line." At this time, Nikolay took a phone worm out, handed it to Reinhardt, and continued, "I understand the importance of Tom Murloc in this cooperation plan. If there is any accident, you can use this phone bug to call my dedicated line, and I will find a way to solve this matter."
