The Black Duke of the Pirate

Chapter 41 041. Captain of the Navy
Ulma's reputation in the North Sea is very bad. She is famous for oppressing civilians, being greedy, cunning, and extremely amassing money. She also has more or less collusion with the nobles, gangsters, and pirates of some kingdoms in the North Sea. She is a complete garbage navy.

"Is it the most business or direct snatching?" Li Xiao sat down, and Anubi stood beside him, alerting the surrounding situation.

Ulma is in his 40s, with a pair of triangular eyes. When he smiled, the greed in those eyes was undisguised. He looked at dawn, but did not answer directly: "Polkaia's recently famous hero Reinha Special, so young."

"Of course you have to take advantage of your youth to become famous." Li Xiao smiled plainly.

"Your brewery, our navy branch also wants to share some of the benefits." Ulma stared at him, showing a row of teeth yellowed from cigars.

"Yes." Li Xiao nodded, and said, "But since it's a sale, the officer must offer something of equal value in exchange, right?"

"Really?" Ulma laughed, suddenly slapped the table and said coldly: "Labor and management have been in Beihai for ten years, and they have never done business of equal value."

Hahahaha.

Li Xiao laughed, but stared at the silent gang leader A Bao: "It seems that the navy in Beihai is used to buying and selling by force, so much so that they have forgotten their original identities."

"Hmph, there is nothing I can't do in the North Sea." Ulma sneered, and the ten marines behind him pulled out their muskets and pointed them at Dawn. Anubi immediately stood in front of Dawn, ready to fight.

"Are you going to kill me?" Li Xiao looked at the muzzles of ten black holes, "If you kill me, you can get the factory?"

"Captain Ulma."

"Colonel Ulma." Ah Bao frowned, and finally stopped being silent at this moment, "Let your people put away their weapons, we are here to discuss business, not fight."

Ulma snorted impatiently with a cigar in her mouth, raised her hand and dialed it, and the ten sailors behind her put down their weapons.

"I heard that His Highness the Prince also took a share, and Colonel Ulma and I also want to take a share." Abao said.

Seeing that the stagnant atmosphere was much better, Anubicai stood behind Lixiao again.After listening to A Bao's words, Li Xiao nodded indifferently: "No problem."

"Since it's a business, it must be exchanged for treasures of the same value." Although Abao is the leader of the "Mailin" gang, he has always regarded himself as a businessman. He naturally knows that business is about win-win. Buying and selling by force is of no use to the young man in front of him.

He knew this very well in his heart. Although "Mai Lin" was powerful, he would not establish a strong enemy for no reason.

"Tell me, what do you want?" Ulma asked.

"Clovis exchanged manufacturing and trading rights and [-] million Baileys for a half share."

"Shares?" Ulma and A Bao naturally didn't know what a share was, so they asked.

Li Xiao nodded: "Shares represent partial ownership of the factory, and the final profits will be divided according to the proportion of ownership every year."

"However, owning shares can only be used for profit sharing, and cannot interfere with the specific operation of the factory."

Abao seemed to understand, and raised doubts again: "If you can't interfere with the operation of the factory, what should you do if you caused huge losses due to poor management?"

"This is the risk you need to take. It is equivalent to an investment in the early stage. If the investment is successful, you will receive a huge return. If the investment fails, you will naturally lose the money you invested in the early stage." Li Xiao said slowly, looking at A Bao With Ulma's uncertain expression, he said, "If the brewery can't get a huge return even if I run it myself, then there won't be anyone in the four seas who can do it better than me."

"Are you so confident?" Ulma sneered.

"Otherwise, you wouldn't come to me for cooperation, would you?" Li Xiao laughed.

Urma and Abao are both out for profit. After all, the brewing technology is in the hands of Lixiao. If it is guaranteed to get a large dividend every year according to what he said, this deal is naturally a good deal.

"Then let's talk about the details." Ah Bao said.

Dawn arranged the wine glasses on the table, took another jug ​​of wine, poured it into the first big glass, and then filled the next five glasses of different sizes with wine, looking at the remaining Half of the jug, Li Xiao said with a smile: "There is still [-]% of this jug left."

"Of course it belongs to me." Li Xiao held the wine jug, half of the wine was left in the jug, and he was about to shake it lightly.

"This glass occupies one-tenth of the jug, and it belongs to Clovis." Dawn took the larger glass aside.

"The remaining glasses take up one-twentieth of the jug."

Ah Bao and Urma knew that Li Xiao did this to make it easier for them to understand, "Which glass of wine is Urma and I?"

"Also half-percent?" Ah Bao looked at the wine glass that Li Xiao pushed over, and his voice was a little indifferent, "Hmph, Reinhardt, the navy and Mai Lin are only half-percent?"

"Don't scare me with Hai Hai and Mai Lin." Li Xiao said lightly, "If you say a bad word, I don't even want to make a deal with you."

"If you agree, listen to my next opinion. If you don't agree, let the navy shoot." Li Xiao slammed the flagon on the table, and the glass flagon shattered into powder with a thud.

Hearing this, Anubi immediately held the refined saber with his left hand, pressed the firearm with his right hand, and took a step forward sideways. Once the navy fired, he would stand in front of Lixiao.

"Are you threatening me?" U'erma turned livid, and looked towards Lixiao, but saw a chill in Lixiao's eyes, and she couldn't help being startled. This person's eyes are like beasts. .

Ah Bao also looked at Li Xiao, seeing that there was a strong pressure in his eyes that seemed to break through, he was slightly surprised, this kind of eyes resembled the coercion emanating from Godfather Mai Lin.

"Sir, you should be threatening me. You are a navy, and I am a civilian." Li Xiao glanced at him, and Ulma felt a chill.

"Kill him." Ulma waved his hand immediately, and the ten marines behind him immediately raised their muskets.

Clang... In an instant, a translucent cold light jumped up, and before everyone could react, it had already rested on Ulma's neck.

Everyone, including Ah Bao, felt a flash of light, and the Taidao in Lixiao's hand had been unsheathed, and it touched Ulma's neck.

"Stop...stop." Ulma shouted in panic, with cold sweat dripping on her forehead, trembling from the fear of death, looking at Li Xiao's cold gaze, he fully believed that the other party might chop it off with a single knife.

"I'm going to kill you, even if you hide in the naval base." Li Xiao walked over to Ulma and whispered.

"It seems that you have forgotten how I led the civilians to slaughter the nobles and soldiers of the kingdom." Li Xiao glanced at the soldiers and said coldly: "You people, I can kill them all in the blink of an eye .”

"Anubi!" Li Xiao shouted, "Go and collect the weapons of the sea soldiers."

"Reinhardt, are you going too far?" Ah Bao said in surprise, his voice equally indifferent.

Ah Bao felt a little regretful at this time, he shouldn't have listened to Ulma's bewitchment, and let his men go to the factory to make trouble. This not only made an enemy for himself for no reason, but also made "Mai Lin" a big enemy.

Other gangsters in Beihai have coveted Mailin's drug and arms business for a long time.
