Chapter 1395: A-level violence
The force that is driving up the prices is a real ducal family, but they were once dukes, and now they have been demoted to lords.
However, even so, compared with the so-called "philosopher duke", they are still nobles of good origin.
This family has produced several talented people in the past three hundred years, and its momentum of revival is very obvious.
At present, some of them are still holding important positions in the empire and are also members of the Energy Block Alliance.
But in terms of real strength, the two companies are similar, and their past cooperation has been pleasant.
Upon learning that Digital Phantom had leaked the news, the Duke's family was first shocked, then angry - do you really dare to open up two fronts?
But in the end, they still had to return to reality: they couldn't afford to offend those who the Hegel family couldn't afford to offend!
And they also noticed that this time the Digital Phantom moved his mouth first instead of taking action directly.
Therefore, there is still a lot of room for maneuver.
The Duke's family specially sent a supreme leader from the core circle to make things clear - it would be best if the misunderstanding could be resolved.
The Supreme was still facing Claire. He felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't care too much.
He said he had no intention of offending Digital Phantom and was just being business-minded.
However, after receiving Mu Guang's advice, Claire simply asked back indifferently - what will others think if we don't respond?
Those who know us would say we are too lazy to care, while those who don’t know would think we can’t afford to offend you!
When the tone was raised to this level, even the Supreme was speechless.
Regardless of their subjective intentions, they may have caused such an impact objectively, which cannot be washed away in any way.
Then, Claire said, in order to prove that we are not afraid of your family, right... your family has to show some appreciation?
There is no need to issue a statement or anything like that. Those superficial stories are just to fool ordinary people.
We don't want empty talk, just some benefits and be practical!
It is not surprising that the Duke's family also planned to bleed this time.
However, there is still controversy about how much to give, so the Supreme said: We will give 20 billion energy blocks, is that enough?
Claire replied calmly, if we had known this would happen, we might as well kill some of your best men!
Is the safety of the entire duke family, once a dignified family, worth only this little money?
Do you want me to remind you that if we take action against your family, how many people do you think will take advantage of your misfortune?
If you really can’t guess, just look at the Hegel family; they are a typical example!
Zhigao was completely speechless. In fact, the possibilities she mentioned really existed objectively.
Considering that the other party is only A-level and should not be arrogant, Zhigao simply asked directly: How much do you think we should pay?
Claire was really not pretentious and directly offered a price of 80 billion.
The boss gave her the authority of 30 to 50 billion, but who doesn’t want their KPI data to be more impressive?
When Zhigao heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched and he said, "You really dare to report it!"
Even though the relationship between his family and the Hegel family was so tense, the difference in their psychological prices was only a mere 30 billion.
Now this is not just a case of losing the rice instead of stealing the chicken, it is actually losing three chickens!
But this matter is not impossible to agree to. Although the loss here is relatively large, it can be compensated in other ways.
So the Supreme stopped being pretentious and asked very frankly: Now I want to ask, are you cleared with the Hegel family?
This matter was definitely instigated by the Hegel family, and the related losses can naturally be recovered from them!
No one has ever told Claire how to answer this question.
At this time, her experience of being in society during her youth told her what to do.
In her opinion, the Hegel family is a younger brother that has been defeated by her.
The price I paid was a little high, but now I am covered by the Digital Phantom - I even paid 60 billion in protection fees!
She didn't have the ability to make the final decision on the matter, but she still asked: Are those who want to deal with Hegel sure they are not targeting us?
These words choked Zhigao so much that he almost rolled his eyes and didn't know how to respond.
He is not young anymore and should be knowledgeable, but after so many years in business, he is more accustomed to making decisions based on interests.
Claire's thoughts were full of the flavor of the underworld, and Zhigao really overlooked this point.
But when he thought about it again, he realized that Digital Phantom might really have similar needs.
In the final analysis, our company’s approach is purely business-oriented, but the other party’s approach to doing things… is mainly willful!
Those who value interests and those who value reputation are originally two different paths. When you meet someone so willful, there is no point in talking to him.
He also admitted that if one did not place too much emphasis on profits, given Digital Phantom's current market conditions, it would be necessary to consider reputation.
So he simply asked frankly, "Are you sure you must protect the Hegel family?"
Claire would not slap this board. She answered evasively, "The dignity of the Digital Phantom cannot be challenged, you know."
This is not meant to be an absolute defense, but whoever wants to touch the Hegel family should first prove that they are not targeting us.
The Supreme was silent. It was too difficult to prove himself. If he was not careful, it might be regarded as a provocation.
So he could only say, "Since it can't be compensated, 80 billion is a bit too much."
Claire still understood this logic - if you want to protect the other party, you have to allow me to bargain.
She nodded slightly, "Well, then tell me a number first."
The Supreme thought for a long time before asking in a deep voice, "Why do you have to protect them?"
"Your team was also offended by Hegel before! They are not good people!"
"If you give up protecting them, we are willing to pay 280 billion!"
The Hegel family is now seriously injured and in extremely difficult financial situation, but the family is still extremely large.
Those industries combined are worth trillions of dollars, and shares in many mines are related to stable income for decades to come.
Once this family falls completely, I wonder how many forces will benefit from it.
Therefore, it is still worthwhile to spend 280 billion to buy a Digital Phantom.
"Two hundred and eighty billion..." Claire thought for a moment and shook her head, "It's not a small amount, but it may not be enough to buy two magic weapons!"
Don't use your little tricks to seduce Digital Phantom. We have seen the world.
Claire knew she didn't have the power to make the final decision, but she knew the boss very well.
Given how much the boss cares about his reputation, he would never do such a thing as going back on his word.
Upon hearing this, Zhigao couldn't help but speak in surprise, "Such a large amount of money, don't you need to discuss it with the team?"
"No," Claire shook her head and answered without hesitation.
"I can't decide what can be done, but I can decide what can't be done!"
"Your team really... trusts you!" Zhigao gave a thumbs up.
He took the opportunity to praise and changed the subject very naturally, "Since we can't make up for it, we are willing to pay 30 billion."
"Not enough," Claire didn't buy it at all. She shook her head, "At least 60 billion. I'll give you ten days!"
"You really have the final say," the Supreme was really shocked. An increase or decrease of tens of billions does not require any permission?
But this did not affect his bargaining speed, "Sixty billion is still too much... Forty billion!"
One is the Supreme and the other is A-level, and they started bargaining like street vendors.
But no one laughed at them. If negotiations of this level were handled by someone at a lower level, who knows how long they would last!
But Claire is not a patient person after all, and she refused to lower the price any further, even to 50 billion.
"...The maximum deadline is extended to fifteen days. If you still don't agree, then there is no need for us to talk anymore."
The Supreme on the other side darkened his face when he heard this. "There is no need to talk. What does this mean?"
Claire was stunned for a moment, then she laughed, "It seems that talking about reason first really doesn't work, I still have to speak with the knife first!"
"I worded it wrong," the Supreme Light on the other side admitted defeat at the speed of light, as fast as he could.
He was so engrossed in the conversation that he actually treated the other party as a real A-level person, which was careless.
But deep down in his heart, didn't he also have the intention of considering the other party? You are so young and come to talk to me - you are the one who makes the decision?
But now he was sure that the other party really had the final say and had actually issued a direct threat.
Zhigao had no doubt that if he continued to be stubborn, he would be the first soul to be killed by the opponent's knife - most likely tonight!
So he said straightforwardly, "Then 50 billion, half a month deadline...but I still need to discuss it with the top management."
"Tsk, we have to negotiate for such a small amount of money," Claire said with a twitch of her lips. "What's the point of being such a supreme ruler?"
It wasn't that she meant to insult the other person, but... everyone knew the style of that little gangster girl, she was so willful in what she said and did!
However, to her surprise, the other party was not angry, but nodded with a smile.
"Yeah, it's really boring. Does your organization still need thugs?"
"This is really inexplicable," the little girl couldn't help but rolled her eyes, "Please... Sir, where is the supreme dignity?"
"Who has the right to talk about decency when facing you Digital Phantom?" Zhigao smiled self-deprecatingly. This was his true feelings.
A day later, he gave an official reply - 50 billion within half a month, and all previous grudges were put to rest!
After hearing this, Hegel's Supreme said with some regret, "I thought you were going to take action!"
It always feels a bit incomplete that no substantial damage was done to the Duke's family.
"I said we will step forward, but I didn't say we will definitely take action," Claire said, a little unhappy.
"And I emphasized that you are not allowed to touch your house. Did you not hear the news, or do you want me to withdraw my protection of your house?"
As expected of the A-level Digital Phantom, he keeps confronting the Supreme, and his temper is getting worse and worse!
The fact that she wasn't out alone made it impossible for the team to put their teammates in obvious danger.
In a place where no one can see, Flower Scorpion and Mu Guang are ready to provide support at any time.
