Qu Jianlei ignored the other party's explanation and spoke coldly again, "State the font size!"

Are you kidding me? I will explode when I see only one starship, but I will give up when I see four starships?

The supreme face is not so easy to refute!

He highly doubted that there was a supreme leader in the Zhanzhan camp, otherwise he wouldn't be so bold.

However, in good conscience, a combination of four company-level starships, as long as they work well together, is definitely not something that four ships combined can withstand—eight ships combined would be too much.

Not to mention defeating one supreme being, two or three supreme beings are not a problem, and...Hongjingtian Team is there no supreme being?

At this time, it is impossible for Qu Jianlei to let each other off generously - there are more than two factions on this planet.

Good intentions should never be released easily when they may be interpreted as weakness.

The person opposite said nothing, obviously not wanting to offend Qu Jianlei and others anymore.

But Paranoid didn't agree. He snorted coldly, "You have the guts to say it, but you don't have the guts to admit it... Do you really think we can't find it?"

He is used to being strong, and he understands Qu Jianlei's intention at this moment - he must not show weakness at this time.

Otherwise, other forces on the planet are likely to join forces to deal with "outsiders" like them.

There was silence for a few seconds before someone spoke up, "We are willing to pay five million to express our apology."

Obviously, they should have heard that Hongjingtian Team blackmailed Three United Company for a sum of money. It is speculated that the other team loves money.

"Five million?" Paranoid sneered at the words, "Who is this insult to?"

The Supreme's face is priceless. Five million is a huge sum of money to ordinary people, but they really can't see it in the Supreme's eyes.

"Forget it," Qu Jianlei persuaded, and the voice was also transmitted to the public channel, "There are a lot of things to do... business is more important."

As he spoke, the hatches of four starships opened, and six Small Ship flew out.

Seeing this scene, there was silence in the public channel: With this kind of fighting power, if several companies join forces, they will lose.

At this moment, a person flew up from the ground, wearing Space Helmet, and flew to more than a thousand meters before hanging in the air.

Then he handed over to the many starships, and a voice came from the public channel.

"Flying Eagle Group Keynes, I have met Hongjingtian Supreme and many adults!"

The 8384th class starship is still tens of thousands of kilometers away from the star, but this Black Shadow can still be observed.

"Are you scared?" Paranoid muttered in a low voice, but it was not transmitted to the transmitter.

Qu Jianlei snorted, "Say it!"

"We have just heard about Protection Card," Keynes said in a deep voice, "It is our fault that we did not investigate carefully beforehand."

This is pure nonsense with open eyes. No matter which force it is, if it has such a card in its hand, it will not know how to play it?

But Qu Jianlei didn't bother to point out the other party's mistakes - that wasn't embarrassing enough. He just listened quietly to the other party's quibbles.

Keynes After saying this, he paused for a moment, probably waiting for the other party's reaction.

When no one responded, he continued, "In order to express Flying Eagle's apology, we are willing to make appropriate compensation."

After he finished speaking, the public channel fell into deathly silence again.

Obviously, Flying Eagle Group is timid, but this is normal.

Leaving aside the fate of Three Harmonies, facing four company-class starships and six Small Ship, there is really no reason not to give in.

"Moderate?" Paranoid snorted again, but didn't say anything else.

Qu Jianlei said calmly, "You continue!"

Keynes pondered for a moment and said, "We are willing to take out 100 million silver notes to express our apology."

Originally, he wanted to open even lower... because he felt from what happened just now that the other party's appetite didn't seem to be that big.

However, since people are sensitive to the word "moderate", let's improve it a bit, which can be regarded as one's own sincerity.

"Where are the beggars?" Paranoid snorted dissatisfiedly, but still didn't say anything.

Keynes didn't say anything either. The conversation just now showed that this grumpy guy's words were not very effective.

After seven or eight seconds, Qu Jianlei spoke in a deep voice, "A Armed Merchant Ship, plus a banknote of 200 million yuan."

This is basically half of Three United Company's compensation.

"Is it too... too much?" Keynes couldn't help but take a breath after hearing this, "The starship was not seriously damaged."

He also knew what compensation Three United Company paid, but in his opinion, there was a big gap between serious injuries and minor injuries.

You know, the merchant ship that was destroyed had many crew members dead. There is an essential difference between the two!

"This is to inform you," Paranoid said coldly, "Accept it, or reject it!"

"Sir, please listen to me," Keynes still tried to argue - this person's words don't work, so don't pay too much attention.

"We have no intention of coercing people, and we don't need their help in the battle. Unlike Three Harmonies... they didn't even die."

Flying Eagle and Three Harmonies are in opposing camps, so it is normal to make excuses for each other.

Qu Jianlei coughed lightly, "Accept? Or reject! We will attack in one minute!"

This time when he came to Gem Blue, he was highly vigilant and unwilling to be distracted by irrelevant things.

Keynes immediately shut up when he heard this. This was not just because the other party was a "talkative" person.

Three United Company suffered indiscriminate bombing, and he had indeed heard about the damage to equipment and facilities - there were outsiders on Tears Star! It is said that preliminary estimates put the related losses at nearly 200 million.

Keynes doesn't quite agree with this statement. He has been there and found that if many buildings were completed by Awakened One, the cost would be lower.

However, if it is built by ordinary people and machines... the cost is indeed difficult to say, but it may not reach 200 million.

Three Harmonies's publicity may have something to do with insurance companies... Well, that's not the point.

The point is that these facts show that Hongjingtian Team is right and Flying Eagle has not been attacked!

Anyway, the person in charge of the other party has expressed his position, Keynes really doesn't dare to pester anymore.

So he settled for the next best thing, "Sir, this amount is a bit large and I can't make a decision. Can you give me some time to report it?"

"If you can't make the decision, why are you flying up here?" Paranoid said angrily.

Qu Jianlei pondered for a few seconds and then spoke in a deep voice, "I can only give you half an hour."

"Sir," Keynes requested again, "Our Flying Eagle is currently on Gem Blue Star, and there is no Armed Merchant Ship!"

"That's your own business," Qu Jianlei said lightly, and then said no more.

Keynes clasped his fists respectfully, swayed, and fell rapidly to the opposite side.

Big Head Butterfly started to spin in Qu Jianlei's mind, "The five million just now... I have already locked the location!"

This guy may not be good at other things, but when it comes to money, his subjective initiative is definitely off the charts.

After getting the news from that company, a Small Ship returned to 8384. Paranoid entered the starship and headed straight for the other party.

Twenty minutes later, he came back, carrying a package in his hand, "Five million is in hand!"

Qu Jianlei asked casually, "Does that family have a supreme leader?"

"No," Paranoid shook his head, "I'm quite surprised, how dare they talk about satellites!"

At this moment, Flying Eagle Group sent a private communication request.

After the call was connected, Keynes said on the other side, "Sir, the headquarters has sent a reply..."

After all, Flying Eagle headquarters is unwilling to resist Hongjingtian, especially after learning that the other party has a large number of starships.

So they agreed to the asking price of Qu Jianlei, but there were still some details that needed to be discussed in the operation.

First of all, there is the issue of money. Flying Eagle only has more than 20 million in banknotes in Gem Blue - banknotes are of even less use here! Their Energy Block reserves are not very large, currently more than 50 million, but some should be left for production and living.

At present, all Flying Eagle can get is 20 million banknotes and 20 million Energy Block, a total of 40 million.

However, Keynes also said that like Three United Company, you can issue an IOU and pay it back slowly.

Qu Jianlei did not comment on this, but asked, "Where is the starship? I do not accept delayed payment in this regard!"

How could he tolerate arrears when starships could easily be converted into immediate combat capabilities? Keynes explained distressedly that even if the nearest starship arrived, it would take about four days.

This answer was obviously a bit excessive, but he still had the courage to ask, "How about... you wait a little longer?"

If you wait any longer, you'll have to wait for Baron... or the military! Qu Jianlei snorted coldly, "I don't have time to wait, go and borrow it!"

"Gem Blue has so much power, I don't believe you can't borrow it!"

"Borrow a starship..." Keynes was really troubled when he heard this. How could such a thing be so easy to borrow?

Now it is said that it is borrowed, but in fact it is borrowed without repayment, and the difficulty will obviously be higher.

But at this time, it was impossible for him not to agree, so he could only express hesitantly.

"I have to communicate with them first and try to complete it in the form of exchange. The main thing is to consider the other party's conditions."

The value of a starship... is difficult to accurately determine. It is not only a matter of market price and cost, but also related to the proficiency of the user.

Many people are accustomed to a certain starship and can better utilize their strengths.

Coupled with the influence of many factors in the second-hand market, most sellers will overvalue their belongings, while the opposite is true for buyers.

In particular, there are insurance companies, so in Asteroid Belt, transactions regarding starships are not active.

In order to sell the starship, Qu Jianlei even helped Wanmi Mining guard the mine for two years, which shows that similar transactions are not easy.

But if the starships are exchanged, it will be much simpler. What the two parties need to discuss are mainly related additional conditions.

Of course, if Flying Eagle chooses this juncture to talk, he will probably encounter some difficult conditions.

Qu Jianlei did not object, but said lightly, "My patience has its limit!"

He really wanted to limit the time, but the hardest thing to estimate in negotiations was time.

He can put pressure on Flying Eagle, but it is best to maintain some goodwill towards other forces.

Especially beware of Flying Eagle Group causing harm and trying to transfer hatred.

So all he can do is make very vague threats.
