Pirates are born to be king
Chapter 48 Don't Underestimate Anyone
In Andel Simon's official residence, Valpo, Jess, and Dalton were sitting in the reception room in formal attire, waiting. .
It was rare for His Majesty the King to solemnly refer to this etiquette and perform all actions meticulously. He did not show any pride at all because he had plotted against the master here. He was not like this originally. He just wanted to let Andel Simon sell him a big deal. Favor, in terms of etiquette, or in terms of spirituality, I did not think highly of this official who gained power through the slave trade.And Jace obviously knew their king, and he stopped His Majesty the King's 'careless' behavior in time.
Time goes back to the moment before departure.
In a luxury hotel,
"Your Majesty." Jace's expression was solemn at that time. "If you go to see Andel Simon with your current attitude, then let me do it for you. You will only offend him. Even if you don't offend him, you will just make him unhappy. It’s also a big loss, even trouble.”
"What kind of trouble will there be? I am here to give him a gift." Valpo said nonchalantly. He was still distressed by the huge handling fee and the 1000 million beli sealing fee he had paid before. He was thinking about what to do next. Ask Andre Simon for more slaves. It would be great if he could directly buy the 25 slaves with 5 billion Beli.
"Your Majesty, do you think he is really selling slaves?" Jace's expression became more serious.
"What is it if it's not a slave?" Valpo asked absently.
But Jace's answer stunned him.
The chief of staff solemnly said, "Your Majesty, he is betraying the country! He is a country that is in ruins!"
Valpo's energy finally gathered, and he was a little in disbelief, "A country? A defeated country?"
Jess promptly explained, "Just like you need those 5 slaves to grow our country, just imagine that you need to gather these 5 obedient, strong, and mostly skilled slaves. With the current strength of our Drum Kingdom, Can we make it together? If these [-] people are removed, our Drum Kingdom..." He paused and looked at Valpo, "Will it still exist?"
5 people, obedient, strong, and mostly skilled people.
Valpo remained silent. He knew that if the Drum Kingdom removed 5 people who could be called the backbone of the country, as Jess said, then his country would be no different from a subjugated country.
And there are prerequisites for this. They must be obedient, strong, and skilled.
What about the remaining disobedient, sick, and useless people?How many times more will it be for these people? !
Only then did he realize how difficult it was to gather these 5 people, and he finally understood what Jace meant. What he wanted to buy was not 5 slaves, but the world government that had been conquering rebellious countries for the past year.
Only by destroying the country and destroying countless countries can we obtain the essence of the country!
As long as anyone fully masters and absorbs these 5 slaves, he or she can even build a brand new kingdom relying on their talents in various fields!
As the master of everything, Andel Simon is not selling slaves, he is selling the seeds of a country!A ladder to a powerful nation!
He is the true uncrowned king...
If Valpo still faces this person with a casual attitude, any inappropriate move or even a subtle look will make the king without a crown unhappy. As long as he makes a little move, he can get a large number of talents that he could have obtained. , was replaced by a group of old, weak, sick and disabled burdens.
The essence of 5 countries and the burden of 5 were transformed in one thought of Andel Simon.
After thinking about this, Valpo couldn't help but sweat dripping with cold sweat. He couldn't help but reflect on himself. He was just making calculations based on the opponent's hobbies and gaining the upper hand. He actually began to be arrogant and thought that an official who had been working in the World Government for most of his life could still sit in a high position. But even so, when did he expand to such an extent?
It is still difficult for Valpo to quickly change from the mentality of a little person on the earth. Although he has been working hard to change and adapt to the world of One Piece and become a high-ranking king, after all, it still takes time for him to come to this world. Only a short period of less than half a year.
Fortunately, he is not alone.
He has a group of ministers who are loyal and willing to speak out. Valpo looked at Jace, patted his staff officer on the shoulder, and responded with an extremely serious attitude, "Jace, I know this, and I will treat a As a king, I no longer treat Andel Simon with any contempt." His heart was even a little excited, how powerful the Drum Kingdom would be when it completely digested these 5 slaves!
But, can all 5 slaves be given to him?
At this moment, Valpo, who was sitting in the living room, began to feel uneasy again. After all, this time he only had 25 billion beli, and he could only buy 2.5 slaves at most. This would depend on whether the other party was willing to sell them to him.
Ander Simon didn't keep Valpo waiting.
He didn't really appear in front of the Drum King in pajamas, but he didn't wear very formal clothes, but slightly casual casual clothes. He just decorated the chest, collar, cuffs, and other small details to mark the other party's dignity. Accessories of status.
When Valpo saw this outfit, his heart was slightly lighter. He remembered that when Jace was teaching the etiquette of the World Government, he said that in a noble family, if the other party said that they did not treat the visitor as an outsider, the dress would be slightly more casual. , but items that represent one's own identity are still necessary. If you don't even have these, it is not a sign of closeness, but contempt. In more serious cases, even just because of this, it is enough for the two forces to start a war.
Andre Simon is definitely showing kindness.
And his series of actions also made Valpo pay more attention to this person.
The wine group 'Life' was placed on the wooden table in the living room by Valpo at this time. The glass wine bottles looked colorful under the sunlight, but Andel Simon's performance at this moment did not show any concern at all. , did not glance at "Sheng Sheng", but just chatted with a few people decently, neither saying anything serious nor asking why, just like a host entertaining guests from afar, elegant and polite.
Old fritters!
Valpo mentally tagged Ander Simon.
Little Fox……
Ander Simon's evaluation of Valpo also exceeded His Majesty the King's imagination.
They kept chatting, starting from how good the World Government was, how wonderful the World Government was, how awesome the World Government was, until they talked about what they ate last night, how many peaks there are in the Drum Kingdom, and whether they have adapted to the climate of the Shampoo Islands. We talked about almost everything, but never mentioned the purpose of this time. It was not until the tea was changed three times and Dalton felt that his butt was about to stick to the chair that he changed his mind.
It was Ander Simon who really couldn't bear to let the bartender's "life" shine directly in the sun, so he ended what could be called the first "awkward chat" in the One Piece world.
The official of the slave trade smiled kindly and looked at Valpo as if he were an old friend. "So, King of the Drum, His Highness Valpo, why did you come to see me?" he said, his eyes For the first time, he looked at the wine team's "Life", no longer concealing the joy and desire in his eyes, and then turned his head again, "As long as I can do anything within my power, I can think of a way."
In fact, this is still an empty talk. What it means to do what you can and what it means to think of a solution are just words. Jess had already said before he came that although the World Government cannot sign an agreement for the slave trade, it can sign a contract called " "Slave Permanent Discipline Entrustment Contract", which is equivalent to an unspoken slave purchase and sale agreement.
As long as all of this is not put on paper, not only Andel Simon, but anyone from the world government officials can renege on any words they say.
But it's a good start after all, isn't it?
Valpo sat upright. He was not qualified to continue to circle around the other party. He told the truth, "Your Excellency Ander Simon, I hope to buy as many slaves as possible."
"Oh? Buying slaves..." Ander Simon was not surprised by Valpo's request. What was good about him was the quantity the other party needed. After all, a 'life' worth 7 million alone was not a small purchase. "So, how much do you need? ?”
"5." Valpo was a little embarrassed, "But I only have 25 billion beli at most at the moment." He thought about asking for a high price first, and then waiting for the other party to repay the money. If he waffled a few more times, he could get more benefits. If you want more benefits, if your 'life' worth at least 7 million can be turned into slaves, you will make a lot of money.
"5?!" Andel Simon looked at Valpo in disbelief, "You want 5 slaves directly? Do you know that I only have a quota of 5 slaves now."
"I know, I know..." Valpo looked at Jace with guilty eyes, and found that the other person was staring at the table with enthusiasm, so he had to look back, "But... I want to package and buy together, maybe there will be a discount?" "
"Package? Discount?"
Andel Simon was stunned. Do you think we wholesale slaves? Are we really wholesale?It's not fruit. He looked at the wine group's 'Life', especially the dragon-shaped bottle of 'Baixi'. His eyes flickered, and countless thoughts came to his mind. He pondered for a long time. When Valpo thought that the other party was going to 'haggle' a lot. , suddenly said, "It's not impossible, but you must agree to a few conditions."
Did he agree? ! !
Walpole roared!Heart is ecstatic!
Andel Simon actually agreed directly! ?
Things went smoothly beyond his imagination!
Valpo was stunned for a long time, not knowing how to express it. He even thought he wouldn't be so excited, but at this time he couldn't find it...
Now think about it, for these [-] slaves, he took out most of the baileys in the Drum Kingdom. From the beginning, despite the opposition of the three ministers, he insisted on going his own way. When he arrived at the Chambord Islands, he drank all his life. The endless wine was also the first time that a scheming person was arranged. Before setting off, he learned the true value of these slaves from Jess!
And now, he succeeded!The seeds of a country's rise were harvested by him!He can do so many things with these 5 people!
army?Can!
Industrial manufacturing?Can!
Fisheries and livestock?Can!
The empty mountain peaks can also be carefully repaired by them and become natural shelters and excellent agricultural greenhouses!
As long as he can achieve anything he wants, even what he can't think of or cannot do, he can still find corresponding talents among 5 slaves.
For a king, there is nothing more wonderful than this.
He thought about all this until Jace coughed hard for a long time before he came back to his senses. The Drum King's face was rarely flushed. He was both shy and excited. He faced Andel Simon. Nodding repeatedly, "You said, as long as I can meet the conditions, I can accept it!"
Andel Simon still smiled kindly, "Hahaha, don't worry, take your time, let's talk about the first point first." He said, "In addition to the 25 billion beli that must be paid first, His Majesty the King will also please give me the money in 2 years." Then give the World Government 15 billion Baileys in slave purchase gold."
15 billion Baileys, 2 years, the original 25 billion Baileys, still 10 billion less,
Of course Valpo agreed, "That's all right,"
"Okay, second point." A glimmer of light flashed in Ander Simon's eyes, looking at Valpo's extremely handsome face, "I hope His Highness Valpo will not attend this world conference, and just go with these [-] slaves. Back to the Drum Kingdom..."
