Chapter 647: 644, Harvest, 130 tons of Gold_1
Langqi flew to a spot not far in front of Su Yu and stopped, a scowl on his face. “Double? That’s too much. I can agree to a raise of 10% at most.”
“10%? Are you treating me like a beggar? It’s 90% at the least, or I will burn these relics right now!” Su Yu glanced at the floating artifacts, with flames flickering in his hands.
Seeing that Su Yu was serious about burning the artifacts, Langqi quickly reached out to stop him. “Stop! What about another 10% increase? That’s 20% in total.”
“No, that’s not enough!”
“Then how much?”
“90% increase, no less!”
“I’ve already made concessions, can’t you make some too?”
Kole also chimed in, “Your Excellency Su Yu, could you not make some concessions too? After all, if we really can’t come to an agreement, and the artifacts are burned, it won’t be beneficial for you either, will it?”
After some thought, Su Yu responded, “Okay, then. I’ll reduce it by another 10%.”
…
And so, Su Yu, Langqi, and Kole entered a haggling mode.
Prior to their arrival, Su Yu had estimated the total value of these relics. The cheapest among them was worth at least several million solar yuan, and the most expensive relics were priceless treasures that could easily fetch billions!
On average, each relic was valued at 200 million solar yuan. So, the total value of two thousand relics would be roughly 400 billion solar yuan.
The average price of gold on the Skru star was 500 solar yuan per gram, so 400 billion solar yuan could be exchanged for about 80 tons of gold.
So every 10% increase in Su Yu’s negotiation would mean acquiring an additional 8 tons of gold, so of course he did everything he could to get it.
The audience in the live broadcast room, seeing Su Yu and the Skru people constantly communicating (in Skru language, which most people did not understand), also launched a big discussion in the barrage:
“What are they talking about?”
“I don’t know.”
“Judging by the tone and boss Ke’s gestures, they should be haggling.”
“Haggling? Is that possible? Those high-ranking bosses would also haggle?”
“I’ve recently learned a bit of Skru language, and based on my judgment, they are indeed haggling. Currently, boss Ke has the upper hand.”
“Can someone translate for me?”
The audience didn’t understand, and neither did Fujiwara Chika who stood behind Su Yu.
She blinked her big eyes in confusion, unsure whether she should leave or stay.
….
The haggling process lasted about three minutes, and in the end both parties settled on a “50% increase”. It seemed that both sides made some compromises.
After discussing the total value, both parties were about to discuss the specific value of each piece of relic.
But due to the large number of artifacts and the limited time, Su Yu only selected a few key ones to negotiate.
However, when it came to a large seal made of pure gold, a small incident occurred.
Su Yu suspended the large seal in front of him and introduced, “This is a great seal that was ordered to be made by Chairman Losman at the time of the founding of the Lunkete Union, symbolizing the consolidation of power among the six Lunkete nations. Such a national treasure surely should be worth 500 million solar yuan?”
Langqi estimated in his heart and knew that the seal was worth that much.
But he scoffed on the surface, “Just a piece of ordinary gold made stuff, without any precious metal elements or rare gems, how can it be worth that much? I will say it’s enough at 5 million solar yuan.”
Before Su Yu could reply, Kole suddenly flew into a rage.
His anger was not directed at Su Yu, but at Langqi.
“What did you say?!” Kole glared at Langqi, raising his voice by an octave. “You dare say the ‘Lunkete Union Seal’ is only worth 5 million solar yuan? This is a priceless treasure! I think even 500 million is low, 1 billion is more like it!”
Seeing Kole’s furious expression, Langqi was a little taken aback.
Whose side are you on? I’m just trying to lower the price as much as possible to retrieve the relics at minimal cost. Is that how you negotiate?
Kole, in fact, knew Langqi’s thoughts. But what he also knew was—if they were to buy back the national treasure at such a low price, where would the Lunkete people place their dignity?
Wouldn’t people from other countries in the future say, “The national treasures of the Lunkete nation are only worth 5 million?”
So, for the sake of pride, the price also cannot be lowered.
Because these scenes were too funny, Su Yu translated the general situation and told the audience in the live broadcast room.
The audience in the live broadcast room immediately burst into laughter:
“Hahaha, adding the price themselves, could he be a fool?”
“Could he be a comrade who was actually developed by Su Yu to infiltrate the Skru people?”
“No way, a spy couldn’t be that stupid.”
“You guys don’t understand, this is just a manifestation of ‘face it to death, live tortured’, I didn’t expect Skru people to also have ‘face it to death’ situation.”
“Speaking of ‘face it to death’, I think of many people in our village building three-story small buildings but not living in them, only to show neighbors ‘I live better than you’ …”
“It’s fun to see the Skru people snubbed!”
…
Anyway, after this little interlude, Langqi didn’t dare to push down the price anymore and set the price honestly according to the market value.
After 15 minutes of talking, both parties agreed on a price that they could both accept — 130 tons of gold.
Of course, this 130 tons of gold was after a 50% increase, in line with Su Yu’s psychological expectations.
“So it is settled!” Su Yu said to the two Skru people, “Bring the gold here at this time in 7 days and we will trade in person. If the gold doesn’t arrive then, don’t blame me for burning all the remaining artifacts!”
“Okay, I guarantee you’ll see the gold here this time 7 days later.” Langqi gritted his teeth and spoke.
He was now gnashing his teeth at Su Yu. This was nothing but a robbery, seizing their world’s treasures for their gold!
“But you won’t be cocky for much longer.” Langqi stared at Su Yu and thought bitterly, “Wait until the ‘explosive mining’ plan is implemented, then you will have your crying time!”
“Then see you both.” Su Yu waved goodbye to Langqi and Kole, “I’m going to attack your military base in Southeast Asia now, you guys don’t need to send me off.”
Langqi took a deep breath and Kole nearly fell from the sky.
The faces of the two instantly turned pitch black.
Going to attack our Spring Eye and treating it like saying goodbye to old friends? Have you no shame at all?
Noticing the reactions of Langqi and Kole, the audience in the live broadcast room immediately started asking in the chat, “What just happened?” “What outrageous thing did boss Ke do again?”
There were also viewers in the live broadcast room who understood Skru language. While they were left laughing, these viewers hurriedly translated what Su Yu said and sent it in the chat.
The chat suddenly burst into laughter: “Boss Ke, you’re too sly!”
“The bamboo shoots in the panda garden have been snatched clean!”
“Skru people: Are you polite?”
“It seems necessary to learn Skru language so that we don’t need translations to watch Boss Ke confront Skru people in the future.”
