1644. Lurking (middle)
James-Bond came directly to Bith and snorted with a hint of contempt, "Humph, Bith."
"Hello, Mr. Sutley." Bith responded with a smile.
"Chetri. If such a mistake or test occurs again, then you can find a solution yourself. I will treat it as a concert at Byss." James-Bond said coldly.
"This is not a business that is open to the public, Mr. Chetri." Bith waved his hand, and a bodyguard next to him immediately took out a piece of metal and placed it on the table, "Inside, there are about 20 grams of neutron star material wrapped in it. Kuat Drive Yards uses this thing to build Acclamator-class assault ship's armor, which makes it not afraid of most artillery fire. This thing is not available on the market... This also means that it is sky-high."
However, James-Bond took out a piece of credit ingot, then used the credit ingot to push the piece of metal aside, and said lightly, "Don't fool me with this kind of thing. I don't care what you are doing. Neutron star or white dwarf, where can I sell it to Kuat and then be asked to stay by Galactic Republic Security Department the next day?"
"It seems you don't quite understand the value of this extracted neutron star material, Mr. Chetri." Bith said.
"I just want cash. Yes, credit ingots, and don't fool me with the credit notes issued by Galactic Republic." James-Bond didn't even have the patience to sit down and talk. He looked a little irritable.
"Your request is a bit unreasonable, Mr. Chetri." Bith said.
"Listen to me!" James-Bond slammed his hands on the table and said fiercely, "A half-million-ton tractor beam is already a weapon-grade equipment! Tell that to the person behind you! First, I want to know that you have the financial resources, and second, I want to know that you have normal needs! I don't want my products to be found on a pirate ship one day!"
"Credit ingots are impossible, Mr. Chetri. I can increase the price appropriately, so that our cooperation may continue." Bith said.
"Let your boss talk to me. You can't make any decisions." James-Bond stood up and threw the credit ingot he just held in front of Bith, just like calling Delia, "This is your tip, you're welcome."
After saying that, he turned around and left without any hesitation.
[Obviously he brought out the neutron star material just now to test you, James. Normal businessmen will not be interested in this thing. Those who are interested in neutron star materials will only be Separatists people.]Nova's voice sounded in his mind.
[What is the origin of this middleman you found?]James-Bond also began to learn to speak in their heads and relax this part of their guard, so that Nova and Tosh's telepathy can know.
[A dark broker. To put it simply, his job is to find some sources of low-priced goods, and then supply them to places of urgent need and sell them at high prices. But the problem is that a broker like him is willing to do basically any business. We contacted him for these 500,000-ton tractor beams. It is conservatively estimated that he can earn 5 million credits every time they come in and out.]Nova said.
[Is it too late for me to change my career now?]James-Bond said with a smile.
[You can do it better than him.]Gabriel-Tosh said.
At this time, a bodyguard from Bith walked over quickly and said, "Gentlemen, please stay."
As he spoke, he wanted to grab Tosh, but Tosh reacted very quickly. Even without looking back, he grabbed the bodyguard's neck with his backhand and directly lifted him up!
"My boss, I want to talk to you." Bith came over and made a respectful gesture of invitation.
Looking along his hand, I saw a blurry holographic projection appearing in the room just now.
"You finally showed me a little bit of sincerity, but not much." James-Bond walked over and said.
"Proceeding with caution is the life-saving talisman of our profession." The person shrouded in black shadow in the holographic projection said. His speaking voice clearly sounded like he was using a voice changer.
"Haha...Corellian?" James-Bond said with a sneer. Even though his voice had changed, he could still tell a person's accent from the rhythm of his speaking.
"Very keen." The man said, "Now that I'm here, you should tell me why you can impress me?"
"My company can build a 500,000-ton tractor beam, that's why." James said.
[Don't worry, let's talk about it. For this mission, we actually built several 500,000-ton tractor beams that looked like modified goods.]Nova said telepathically.
"Your company's qualifications can only build 20,000-ton machines." The broker said.
"In the entire Galactic Republic, there are no more than ten companies that are qualified to produce 500,000-ton tractor beams. You can go to them and place an order." James-Bond sneered. "The 500,000-ton class can already easily drag the Hunter Class Battlecruiser that has lost power. If it is obtained by pirates, the transport ship caught by this tractor beam will not even have a chance to struggle."
"What I care about is your company's technical strength." the broker said.
"I have brought samples, and you can inspect them at any time." James said, "These are assembled from parts I purchased from a group of Trandoshan scavengers. They are all military-grade parts removed from battleships. They are absolutely reliable! If you pay enough, I can even give you two one-million-ton machines!"
"Very good! I need 100 500,000-ton units! If your price is right, I will also take the two 1-million-ton units!" said the broker.
"You also know that these things are illegally modified, so I want to pay with credit ingots! At one-fifth of the market price!" James said.
"I don't have so many credit ingots, but I do have a lot of Galactic Republic credit notes. At the same time, I can also exchange them for other things." The broker said.
"And I also need a guarantee that my things will not be resold to pirates!" James emphasized again, "Don't lie to me! With 100 tractor beams, you can arm an entire pirate fleet!"
The broker thought for a while and said, "Somewhere, a series of large projects are being carried out. I can reveal some information to you. The volume of this large project is very large. The materials involved in your goods are simply a drop in the bucket! Moreover, this is the project of Kuat Drive Yards!"
"I am Quat Planet! Why didn't I know? And, Kuat Drive Yards? Don't kid me, they still lack a tractor beam? Humph!" James-Bond said, turning around and leaving again.
