Gao Qi was rich. Just a few seconds ago, he thought he was very rich. But now, after John asked for an exorbitant price, he realized he was going bankrupt.
It was hard to describe Gao Qi's current state of mind, but the only thing he was thinking about was whether to kill John immediately to avoid bankruptcy.
After a long time, Gao Qi gave up on killing John. He took a deep breath and said with difficulty, "Don't joke, brother."
"One ton of gold, that's the price. And my goods and services are worth that price, so I'm not joking."
Gao Qi said bitterly, "Brother, you're wrong. You want one ton of gold for ten energy cores. I won't say why you didn't rob me. It's an insult to call this a robbery."
John said slowly, "Ten energy cores, ten thousand grams of gold. This is a friendship price. The current market price is two thousand grams of gold, and a cruise missile is four hundred thousand grams of gold. The military production capacity is very limited now, so this is the market price. In addition, the risk of going against the City of Angels is five hundred thousand grams of gold. That's not too much, is it? Also, as for my service fee, according to the cost of this transaction, plus the risk, it's not too much to charge one hundred thousand grams of gold, right? So, I'll give you ten energy cores as a gift, but you have to pay me my cost. One million grams is one ton of gold. That's fair. "
Gao Qi didn't know how to answer. He thought for a moment and then said politely in a low voice, "Can you give me a discount?"
John immediately put on a straight face and said, "You can break my legs, or even every bone in my body, but I'm sorry, my goods are not discounted!"
Gao Qi scratched his head and then began to reconsider the feasibility of killing his creditor.
After a moment, Gao Qi finally said, "Okay, you're right. Let's talk about something else first."
John smiled and said seriously, "I saw your battle process from the satellite image. Although it was a bit blurry, I'm very sure that your fighting methods are much more precise now. Is that true?"
Gao Qi whispered, "This question is worth one hundred thousand grams of gold. Are you sure you want me to answer it?"
John frowned and shook his head. "No, no, you can't do this. It's not good."
"Sorry, if I don't do this, I may never be able to pay you. Also, I've always thought that knowledge and information are very valuable."
John was a bit conflicted.... After a moment, he suddenly said, "Can you really teach ability users? I mean, will you really bring about changes to the Esper Ability and give this power system a new meaning? "
Gao Qi said indifferently, "This question is even more valuable. It's worth at least five hundred thousand grams of gold."
John waved his hand and said, "It's okay. Okay, I admit that you have the capital to do business now. But I have to remind you that if you try to do business with me in this way, I'll have to charge high fees for other services. Believe me, you won't get any benefits from doing this. It will also damage our friendship and friendly cooperation."
Gao Qi said with a bitter face, "I think there's no friendship between us after you quoted the price, right? You're obviously trying to slander me. You're just taking advantage of the situation. "
John shook his head and said, "No, it's not like that. Friendship is friendship, business is business. You can't mix friendship and business."
Gao Qi also waved his hand and said, "Cut the crap. Five hundred thousand in City One's currency. I really can't afford more."
John just shook his head and said with a smile, "I said, I won't give you a discount. At most, I'll allow you to pay me in installments. My payment method is very flexible. If you don't have enough money now, you can pay me back slowly."
The conversation seemed to have reached an impasse, but Gao Qi didn't want to break the deadlock because he would go bankrupt if he let go now.
"No, I'm in this situation now. If I pay you in installments, it'll be strange if I don't die because of you. The interest will compound and I won't be able to pay it back in my lifetime."
John frowned and said in a low voice, "If you can't afford the price, you should've rejected me before I offered you my services. You shouldn't have refused to pay after using my goods and enjoying my services."
Gao Qi said angrily, "You still have the nerve to say that? You're clearly digging a hole for me, and you still have the nerve to say that? Bah, profiteer! "
John said very seriously, "You're insulting an honest businessman. You're insulting my character. I demand that you apologize for this!"
"If you charge me a reasonable price, not only will I thank you, but I'll also tell everyone that you're not a profiteer. But if you're not a profiteer now, then what are you?"
John frowned and said, "Are you sure you want to go back on your word?"
"I'm not going back on my word. You're too evil. I'm not going to be fooled."
Now that they were really in a deadlock, Anna finally couldn't stand it anymore. She said impatiently, "Stop arguing. It's just a ton of gold. Is there a need to quarrel like this? Mr. Barak, go ask my father for the money. I'll sign the bill for you. He'll pay you. "
John looked at Anna. He thought for a moment, and a smile immediately appeared on his frosty face. He said, "Thank you. I want to pay in gold. I don't accept the city's currency or items of equal value. If there's no problem, I'll bring the bill."
Gao Qi looked at Anna. He felt a little embarrassed, but he definitely wouldn't refuse to trick Bernhard. In addition, he felt that Anna was still very rational. She knew that in front of outsiders, she called Bernhard father. Only when there were no outsiders would she call Bernhard.
John snapped his fingers, and a maid came in. Then John smiled and said, "You heard it. Go and print out a bill. Write down the amount clearly. Bernhard likes to pay for clear accounts."
The maid bowed slightly and said, "Yes, master."
The maid left. Gao Qi couldn't help but shiver. He said, "What kind of bad taste is this …"
John smiled and said, "Everyone has to have some hobbies, and this is where my pleasure lies. Okay, now we can continue the conversation. Can you answer my question? Fire Grandpa. "
Gao Qi was still hesitating. At this moment, Owen walked in from outside the door. He approached John and whispered, "Sir, Mr. William's spaceship has arrived. Do you want to welcome him personally?"
John nodded. Then he said to Gao Qi, "I'm sorry, excuse me. Mr. William is here. I have to go and welcome him. He's the founder of the Bounty Hunter Guild, and he's also the one who decided to help you. I think you've already felt the goodwill from the guild. So, do you want to welcome him with me?"
Gao Qi stood up. He was not an ignorant fool. Regardless of whether John was a profiteer or not, and regardless of whether this Mr. William was in a high position or not, the key was that he did feel the goodwill released by Mr. William, so he had to go and welcome him.
At this moment, Anna asked curiously, "Which Mr. William is coming?"
John smiled and said, "It's Mr. Bruce Young William. Why, Miss Anna, do you know him?"
