Chapter 178 Conditions



Saint Aina suggested to Long Fei: "Boss Long Fei, we can agree to your previous proposal to let Tianyi Arms Manufacturing Company set up branches and factories in our country. We can also transfer some factories to your company for free, and we can also rebuild or renovate the factories according to your requirements. We can meet your requirements in this regard, but we just hope to reduce the price."

Long Fei asked, "Your Highness the Saint Lady is only asking for a price reduction on those two MS models? Or do you want a price reduction on all the weapons you purchase?"

“We hope to see a price reduction for all weapons we purchase.”

"President Sakqi, you think these conditions are good. How much do you think the price can be reduced? You decide." Long Fei said with his eyes closed, as if he didn't care about anything.

"Then let's reduce the price by 5%." Sakqi looked embarrassed.

Saint Aina and her group were all dumbfounded. They all looked very embarrassed when the price was reduced by 5%.

The price of a High Zaku MS driven by an ordinary MS pilot is 100 million Earth Circle Coins, and the price of a High Zaku MS driven by a captain is 120 million.

"Are you bullying us because we don't have experts? Even if our experts are not very good, they can at least estimate that the manufacturing materials of a High Zaku MS, including labor, weapons and equipment, and spare parts, are only estimated to be 50 million Earth Circle Coins at most." These are the thoughts of the experts from the Ou Ya Cross.

Saint Aina objected at this time: "A 5% price reduction is too little. Just taking the Gozak as an example, its performance is much better than the Assault Dagger MS. I remember that your company also sold the Assault Dagger MS for 40 million, and it was in Colonial Circle Coins."

Sakqi smiled and said, "The Assault Dagger MS was sold for 40 million. That was a long time ago. Even if a Assault Dagger MS was placed on the black market, even a second-hand Assault Dagger MS could be sold for more than 80 million Colonial Circle Coins. The Assault Dagger MS that our company sells every month is sold to the highest bidder. On average, it can be sold for 150 million Colonial Circle Coins."

1 Earth Coin can currently be exchanged for 1.5 Colonial Coins.

Saint Aina responded, "The reason your company's Assault Dagger MS can be sold at such a high price is mainly because of the war in the colony of District 6. Many people need combat power. I'm telling you that your company just happened to take advantage of the war. If the war wasn't still going on, your company's Assault Dagger MS wouldn't have been bid at such a high price."

Sakqi shrugged and said, "Your Highness the Saint said that I don't deny it, but why don't other companies in the same industry make as much money as we do? I believe that Your Highness the Saint and everyone here know it clearly without me saying it."

Saint Aina asked: "Then I would like to ask, what conditions does your company want in order to continue to lower the price?"

"It depends on what conditions your country can offer us."

Saint Aina turned her head and looked at the two bishops, and the two bishops and Saint Aina were discussing with each other in their whispers.

Long Fei continued to close his eyes, and Sakqi kept smiling, looking calm and composed.

After the three of them came to a conclusion, Saint Aina said to Long Fei, "Boss Long Fei, how about this? We can give the mining rights of some of our country's metal minerals and energy mines to other companies under your group for 20 years, and your company will not have to pay taxes to our country for ten years."

Long Fei opened his eyes, then closed them again.

Sakqi said nothing, because the conditions just given by Saint Aina involved other companies under Tianyi Group.

Long Fei thought for nearly ten minutes, opened his eyes, sat up straight and asked, "So how much do you want us to reduce the price?"

“30%.”

“You are asking for too much of a price reduction.”

"We can also give your group a piece of land so that your Tianyi Mercenary Group can set up a new branch base, and you don't have to pay taxes for 10 years."

"My other companies also want the same 10 years without paying taxes."

"I can only agree that this is an existing company of Tianyi Group. If another company is established later, it will not work."

"President Sakqi, are you able to accept the conditions?"

Sakqi replied: "Boss, forgive me for being blunt, the conditions offered by Her Highness the Saint are indeed very good for the development of your entire group, but it is not fair to the company I manage."

"Oh, why?"

"It's really unfair to the company I manage that the company I manage sacrifices its own interests to make other companies successful."

"Your Highness, you heard it. This is really unfair to my Tianyi Arms Manufacturing Company."

Saint Ina's forehead was about to show a cross shape, and she thought to herself: "It seems that you two are singing the same tune."

Saint Aina said: "How about this, I will give you one more condition. Tianyi Arms Manufacturing Company will also not have to pay taxes for ten years."

Sakqi asked, "Your Highness, I would like to ask, does the ten-year tax exemption mean that the things we sell to you are tax-free? Or does it also include the products we sell to the outside world?"

"Yes, all your company's products are exempt from tax, but the premise is that the product lines and quantities sold by your company's domestic branch cannot exceed the number of products purchased in the country. Oh, by the way, Gaozaku and Marasai can only be manufactured and sold in the country, and the MS you sell cannot be sold to any country in the Earth Sphere."

"Then we also have a request, that is, Gaozagu and Marasai cannot be copied or even sold to other countries."

"This condition is acceptable, but we also have one condition. You must at least transfer the Gaozaku technology to us."

"Yes, but the 30% price reduction you requested must be adjusted to a 20% price reduction. Also, we must wait for three years until we have opened a branch company and factory and started to produce the weapons your country wants before we can transfer the High Zaku technology to your country."

Saint Aina and the two bishops were very confused when they heard that President Sakqi would have to wait three years before the transfer.

Bishop William asked, "Why can this only be transferred after three years?"

Sakqi explained: "It's very simple. Who knows if you will turn your back on us once you get the technology transfer of the Gaozagu MS?"

Saint Aina stood up and said, "We in the Ouya Cross Nation attach great importance to the words morality and justice. If your company does not trust us, we can swear a solemn oath."

"Hehehe" Long Fei sneered disdainfully.

Saint Aina frowned and asked Long Fei, "Why did Boss Long Fei sneer?"

"I'm laughing at Your Highness the Saint. Are you too naive, or do you think we are too naive? Is swearing useful? I don't care whether all of you in the Ou Ya Cross Nation attach great importance to promises and abide by your promises. We don't believe this. Contracts between countries can be torn up, not to mention your country doing business with businessmen like us. We will not believe in your so-called oaths and promises, even if they are clearly written in black and white. God knows whether you will just cross the river and burn the bridge. After getting what you want, you will turn your back on us and tear up the contract. If you really want the technology transfer of Gao Zagu MS, do as my president says. Otherwise, either renegotiate or cancel the contract and find another job." Long Fei closed his eyes after he finished speaking.

Saint Aina nodded and said, "I understand what Boss Long Fei said. These are all cautious businessmen. We accept your conditions, Boss Long, but we have to discuss it with His Holiness the Pope first. Once His Holiness the Pope nods, we will immediately sign a contract with your company... oh, no, with your group."
