Gu Hanhan had met Huang He before and knew that he was the manager of his slave company, so he was very cordial and enthusiastic. He quickly asked him to stand up and told him not to be so polite in the future. At least he would kneel less when he was not in the Acropolis. kneel. ＠乐＠文＠小＠说|This is how I express my great regard for Manager Huang and that I am a brother in the trenches with him. It's a pity that Manager Huang obviously doesn't dare to be her brother in the same trench, let alone kneel as little as she says. Finally, Gu Hanhan didn't dare to stand up until he raised his feet and walked forward, following her step by step.
Huang He briefly reported the acquisition plan to Gu Hanhan, and then he led the group to the conference room.
Gu Hanhan was surrounded and sat in a separate chairman's seat in the center of the conference room, opposite the seats of the slave traders. Huang He and the other servants retreated behind Gu Hanhan, with only Gal standing beside her. The accompanying guards arrayed themselves along the specially separated area between Gu Hanhan and the traders' seats, which could be regarded as the extreme implementation of the isolation mentioned by Deputy Attendant Garr.
Slave traders filled most of the conference room and were discussing one after another. Suddenly they saw that the person who was invited in was such an overly young lady with such a noble and noble demeanor, so they all agreed in unison. He closed his mouth and tried to figure out her true identity in his heart.
The slave traders were very discerning, and the superpower family was their biggest customer. They all guessed that this scene was for the nobles who came to the Acropolis. It was expected that at Gu Hanhan's age, she would be either the young lady from a superpower family or her mistress. Therefore, while being excited, nervous, and fearful, there is also some secret contempt in the heart - the nobles of the Acropolis have never personally purchased slaves, not to mention those high-ranking ladies, even the slightly powerful housekeepers and attendants, and their noble toes are also Never set foot on slave market grounds.
"The person who comes here to buy things in person and opens a slave company to make money," they all thought disdainfully, "must be Yuanzhi who is dozens of generations away or an unfavored mistress who took advantage of being kicked out. Or make enough money before being dismissed."
Gu Hanhan didn't know what was going on in the minds of the slave traders. Seeing that everyone was silent, she thought they were frightened by the huge array put up by Gal, so she was very interested in going back to make up for it. Before Manager Huang's representative, she He spoke first.
"My surname is Gu, and I am the boss of this new shipping company," she introduced herself and said, "Recently, the company wants to buy a batch of small slaves, and the quantity is quite large, so I ask all the bosses to quote a price."
The atmosphere in the conference room became a little more lively. On the surface, the slave traders asked: "I wonder how much the purchase is expected to be?" In fact, because Gu Hanhan spoke herself, they despised her even more. They had all personally experienced the superiority of the Acropolis. How had they ever asked him a kind word? That is because even the purchasing servants are extremely arrogant, and they never speak directly to them. All conversations must be conveyed through the followers around him.
Gu Hanhan was unaware of this. He glanced at the acquisition plan handed over by Huang He and answered honestly: "The current first batch of plans is for one million people."
One million, this is really generous!
The slave traders were talking loudly and scrambling to raise their hands to bid. The atmosphere suddenly became heated, and the air was filled with excitement.
After a few minutes, the company's employees sorted out the quotations and handed them to the valet from Huang He to Gu Hanhan.
Gu Hanhan opened the quote with great expectation and was stunned as soon as he saw it. The price quoted by the first one was as high as 53,000 yuan per 1,000 people.
"You're right, the retail price of a small slave in the slave market is only 5 yuan, which is more than ten times more expensive!" Gu Hanhan thought in confusion: "Why is this wholesale price more expensive than the retail price?"
Continuing to scroll back, there are about a hundred dealers below, all of which seem to have made an appointment. The quotations are all around 53,000 yuan per 1,000 people, with some fluctuations in fractions. Even Gu Hanhan didn't believe it if they were not connected in advance.
Gu Hanhan closed the quotation silently, feeling a little embarrassed. After a long time, he asked: "Is this a bit too expensive? Is it less?"
This time it seemed like a pot was exploding. The slave traders looked embarrassed and talked about how insufficient the supply of goods was and how tight the market was. The New Year has just passed, the original inventory has been sold to other star regions, and the new supply has not yet arrived. The slave market is now in a sluggish state, and the supply of young slaves exceeds the demand. It is tight across the board.
Although these slave traders usually have to carefully serve the servants who come out of the Acropolis to purchase, a fallen phoenix is not as good as a chicken. For Gu Hanhan, who is considered an unfavored mistress, she may be expelled soon. In the face of a high profit of more than 300%, these slave traders dared to despise and deceive an orphan girl from a distant branch of the family.
They talked nonsense and said that Dongbixing's warehouse was so empty that not even a little slave could clean it out. If you wanted to buy something, you had to urgently transfer goods from all over the universe. They even tried to add high shipping costs that did not actually exist to the customer's account. On Han Han, it was as if all the "little butts" running around in the slave market disappeared as soon as their upper lips touched their lower lips. Some slave traders even mentioned in a subtle way that if the slaves were in their hands, they could get special education funds and there was no need to sell them to Gu Hanhan at a low price. It turned out that before slave education had even started, these evil slave traders came up with the idea of using the charity money in Norman's hands!
When Gu Hanhan heard this, he felt anger rising from the bottom of his heart and hatred grew in his guts. He slapped the armrest and stood up.
"Three yuan a piece, you can sell it or not!" she said, "If you don't sell it this time, you should never think of selling it in the future!"
"Find a slave company to be the general agent, and cooperate with this company for all future acquisitions - oh, if it is a small slave without a chip, the purchase price can be increased to four yuan." She told Huang He in public, and then He walked away.
——Mr. Gal is absolutely right, slave traders are indeed extremely dirty and despicable beasts!
Gu Hanhan returned to the Acropolis in anger. He didn't care about saving face or showing off. He immediately called Norman and asked him to spread the news that the first recipient of the Slave Education Fund's funding was the New Route Slave Company. It also officially announced the standards that slave companies funded by the fund must meet, one of which is to be recommended by the partner institution that has previously received funding.
Then, taking advantage of her anger, she went through all the contacts in the ring, and finally viciously connected to the communication of Admiral Fang Chuyu of the United Nations First Fleet.
Admiral Fang Da's character is excellent when he uses his money to eliminate disasters for others. As soon as he heard it, he agreed wholeheartedly, saying that it would be up to him.
So that night, when the transport ships of the two largest slave companies in the galaxy passed the Golden Gate jumping point, they were detained by the patrol team under Fang Chuyu. Although Admiral Fang was actually on vacation on Beacon Planet, the brothers under the Admiral were unequivocal. After a thorough search, serious slave smuggling and tax evasion were discovered. The United Nations and international laws impose the most severe penalties on slave smuggling. The customs acted in accordance with the law and immediately issued a penalty decision with a fine of up to tens of millions.
The penalty decision was notified to the United Nations Slave Trade Agency, which immediately launched an investigation into the two slave companies - which slave company can withstand the investigation? You don’t need to think about it to know that after the investigation is completed, even if they strictly comply with the law, these two companies will face huge fines of hundreds of millions and the suspension of trading licenses.
As for the two slave companies, since they can become the largest in the galaxy, of course there are people behind them. As soon as the incident broke out, their big backers wanted to intervene forcefully. But as soon as he arrived at the United Nations Slave Trade Administration, he was turned back. Then he received reliable information that the order to seize the ship for search was personally issued by Admiral Fang Chuyu, so he immediately withdrew his hand again.
As a result, overnight, the two largest slave trading companies in the galaxy ended in bankruptcy. The company owners and shareholders were directly reduced from slave traders to the slaves they once sold.
Early the next morning, Huang Helai reported to Gu Hanhan that all the planned one million slaves had been purchased, and they could start shipping them to Venus in batches this evening. Gu Hanhan let out a breath of disgust, but he didn't feel happy at all. Instead, he seemed to be disgusted. Therefore, he was no longer in the mood to ask about business affairs. He just listened to Huang He's report that the Venus Base had made all arrangements and let him go.
Deputy Attendant Garr looked on with cold eyes, sitting and watching Gu Hanhan use a cannon to kill mosquitoes. I expected that she had learned enough lessons and would never interfere with these mundane affairs again, so I didn't add salt to the wound and summarized it for her. I just presented the list of guests expected to be invited to the charity dinner in a timely manner.
The education fund charity dinner scheduled for a week later expected 1,500 invitations. The invitation list drawn up by Garr totaled 271. They were formal invitations issued in the names of David and Gu Hanhan. All of them are famous nobles, superpowers, and high priests. The remaining about 1,200 are ordinary invitations provided by charity funds. They are anonymous and can be transferred. They are from various small and medium-sized families in Lighthouse Star, Rangers, etc. , upstarts and wealthy businessmen should flock to it.
Gu Hanhan took over the list and scanned it. He suddenly saw Anthony's name lying in a very conspicuous position on the list, and his heart immediately beat wildly. I really wanted to say that it would be better not to invite him, it would be embarrassing. However, I felt embarrassed to say the words, so I had to suppress my mood and continue to look at the list.
Soon, she discovered the name of the Defelin family not far from Anthony, and couldn't help but ask: "Should we also send invitations to the Defelin family? Isn't that the family of the Rhine Knights? Will he come in person? ?”
"Of course Lord Rhine himself is unlikely to come in person, but he should send a representative, and there should be a donation." Gal replied, "For the charity dinner, the person attending the charity dinner on behalf of the Defelin family should be Lord Rhine's sister, Miss Anne."
So, Gu Hanhan didn't mention the issue of not giving Anthony an invitation again, and nodded, which was regarded as a complete approval of the invitation list.
