Chapter 442 The Free Businessman
Looking at the man in front of him in a suit, sunglasses, and dangerously high hairline, Jabba waved his short hand and spoke in the Hutt language He mumbled something, looking a little angry.
"The great Jabba said that you are a member of the Fourth Group. You have one minute to finish your words, and then you will be dragged into the desert to feed the Krayt Dragon." The etiquette robot on the side translated.
"Don't say that, Mr. Jabba. I no longer serve the Fourth Group. Now I am just a neutral arms dealer." Yuri Orlov raised his hands and smiled He said, "So, I heard that war broke out again on the planet Tatooine, so I came to see if I could help you in any way."
Jabba growled a few words.
"Jabba the Brave says throw this guy out," the protocol droid translated.
Several fierce mercenaries on the side came over immediately, but were blocked by several bodyguards behind Yuri Orlov. The two sides were at war with each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Yuri Orlov had enough time to light a cigar for himself and said: "You want me to leave, no problem. After all, I am just a businessman. Why don't you listen and I can bring you some What? I must remind you that the black market is not omnipotent. You cannot buy many things on the black market. If the situation continues like this, you are no match for the Scourge."
Jabba's face. He became solemn and said again.
"The wise Jabba decided to give you a chance to speak." The etiquette droid translated.
Yuri Orlov took a puff of his cigar and said: "Do you know why you were at a disadvantage in the war on Tatooine? Two reasons. First, mobility. The opponent was a land-based aircraft carrier. Their Maintenance and supplies are all in the aircraft carrier, so unless you directly confront their most powerful guard force, you have no impact on their supply lines, but they can continue to attack those you set up around Mos Eisley. The scattered spaceports will make you exhausted."
"Secondly, they have three-dimensional defense on the ground and in the air, but you must understand that although the SJF-14 fighter jet is very good, it is a fighter after all. A high-speed light fighter, the key to their ability to fight against a large number of bounty hunter ships is actually ground fire support."
Yuri Orlov shook off the ashes, "So, you need it. The best thing is to strangle the opponent's ground force and let the SJF-14 fighter alone face their bounty hunter spacecraft, which is slower but has far more shields and firepower. But to fight against the opponent's ground force, it's up to you alone. Don’t even think about those hoverbikes under his command.”
Jabba waved his hand and said a few words.
“What can you bring us, says the mighty Jabba?” the protocol droid translated.
Yuri Orlov took out a holographic projector, which projected the appearance of a suspended chariot. This suspended chariot is roughly wedge-shaped, with a flap on the top of its head. The overall look is like a heavy herringbone.
He smiled and said: "T-24 airspeeder (T-24 airspeeder), produced by Income Company, ordered by the military. 4.7 meters long, 2.1 meters wide, maximum speed 520 kilometers per hour, maximum suspension height 150 meters. Equipped with two CEC-AP/9 laser cannons produced by Corellia Engineering Company, the power of a single irradiation can easily destroy a shielded hoverbike. The company is developing a new generation of airspeeders, so this old airspeeder has been discontinued and can only be obtained through military orders. You cannot buy this thing on the black market, and I have 80 of them. The T-24 airspeeder is enough to destroy any high-speed convoy running rampant in the Tatooine desert. Thanks to your patronage, I can give you a call for 50,000 credits for a T-24 airspeeder and purchase all 80 of them at once. 10% off.”
Jabba nodded with some satisfaction and said a few words.
"Smart Lord Jabba asked, didn't you serve the Fourth Group before? Why did you sell weapons to their enemies." The etiquette robot translated.
"I said that there was no good fit between me and the Fourth Group, so I left. Businessmen don't need to have a position. All we want is the market. Just like Santa Claus, there are no children who want gifts. , Santa Claus will go there and put the shining tanks and cannons into the children’s socks. Do you know? Put the tanks into the socks... Hahahahahaha! Orlov took a puff on his cigar, seemed to laugh at his own humor, and burst out laughing.
However, no one present could catch his laughter and remained silent.
"The kind Jabba asked, how does he know that you will not sell stronger weapons to Gardura?" The etiquette robot was translating again.
"First of all, it is impossible for the Scourge Legion to buy weapons from me. Second, in fact, war is all about money. Even if I sell things to the Scourge Legion and defeat you, it will still be a waste. It just illustrates a problem - you don't spend enough money." Yuri Orlov leaned back on the backrest and blew a column of smoke towards the ceiling. "Well, let's give you an answer now. "?"
"Just Jabba said he wanted more, and money was no problem." The translation robot translated Jabba's words again.
"Are you interested in spaceships? Hammer-class corvettes and Knight-class corvettes. When I get the Knight-class, I won't have to wait like other suppliers, but will arrive immediately. As for the Hammer-class, you should know that this is In the previous competition for military orders from Dawn Planet, we defeated the excellent Knight-class spaceships. Now that Dawn Planet is changing its equipment, I can also get some of the Hammer-class spaceships, as well as the Corellian YT-1000 spacecraft. It's more expensive, you know, the gentlemen at Corellia Engineering Company are not easy to take care of." When it comes to business, Yuri Orlov keeps talking.
He glanced at Jabba again and said: "Okay, I know what you want to ask. Yes, I will no longer work for the Fourth Group, but weapons are innocent and money is innocent When doing business, don’t talk about your position.”
“The generous Jabba said that now we can negotiate a business of 20 million Upi Upi coins,” said the translation robot.
Yuri Orlov clicked on the calculator, "According to the latest black market price, this is equivalent to 11.04 million galactic credits. You know that the recent war on Tatooine has cost Upi coins A little depreciated. Okay, I will arrange it."
After that, he stood up and extended his hand to shake hands, but Jabba didn't take this and waved his hand. Signal him to get down.
