Chapter 834: Chapter 828: Comparison Leads to Discarding (4)_1
“I want to purchase a portion of first-class battleships, just the standard ones in the Federation will do. I also need a large number of first-class transport ships, second-class transport ships, and civilian merchant ships,” Finn Lewis said straightforwardly after some thought.
“What specific quantity?” Oswald Wren, knowing very well about the prince’s financial power, asked in astonishment. If Finn Lewis himself described it as a large number, it surely meant it wasn’t small.
“For the price of first-class battleships, I’m not sure about your cost, but I’ll give you 100 million star credits each. I need a hundred of them. Additionally, I need a hundred first-class transport ships, a hundred second-class transport ships, and between three hundred to five hundred third to fifth-class transport ships and reconnaissance ships. I’ll give you the specifics in a bit. Also, I need about two hundred civilian merchant ships,” Finn Lewis stated the numbers he needed outright.@@@@
As Finn Lewis spoke, both Oswald Wren and Nora Rhodes had looks of utter amazement on their faces. Wren, with an odd expression, asked Finn Lewis, “Are you planning to start a world war or what?”
“Not quite, but I’m someone who lacks a sense of security. I won’t bother you with the specifics for the price of these warships. Let’s say this, I’ll give you 2500 billion star credits,” Finn Lewis offered a very high amount. Although he hadn’t done the specific calculations, he was confident that the number was more than enough.
More than enough indeed. Oswald Wren was rendered speechless. The main business of the Wren Family was the production of various ships and warships, so as a direct heir, he was well aware of the cost and selling price of their products.
...
Oswald Wren almost spat out his water onto Finn Lewis’s face. How shameless; even the wealthiest of the royal family members wouldn’t dare claim to be so poor all they had left was money.
“Well, if that’s how you put it, I won’t refuse business that comes my way. Forget 2500 billion, I’ll give you a discount, 2000 billion star credits. But let’s get this straight: our family does not have these warships in stock. However, we can produce them for you. With such a large quantity, even if we go into full production, it will likely take about a year. So you can specify which warships you need the most urgently,” Oswald Wren said, a bit speechless, but he felt it was inappropriate to take such a huge advantage of Finn Lewis, so he ended up giving him a discount.
Finn Lewis smiled, not commenting, but cheerfully said, “Give me your Star Bank account number.”
Oswald Wren nodded without hesitation, starting to understand Finn Lewis’s style. Always paying upfront, even without signing a contract, so he too was decisive. He wanted to see if Finn Lewis could still be so straightforward when spending such a massive sum—truly showing the essence of extravagant wealth.
“Then I shall take my leave,” Finn Lewis said with a smile as he stood up.
“Welcome to visit again,” Oswald Wren said with a slight smile. Although he had previously looked down on this man, money was being offered, and such people were impossible for anyone to refuse. Of course, his current thought was that instead of letting this bastard squander his wealth elsewhere, it would be better to just take the money and let him help develop the Wren Family.
As Finn Lewis walked towards the door, he waved his hand backward without a word. When he reached the door, the voice of Oswald Wren’s personal intelligence device rang out, “Your Highness, your bank account has received a transfer, as well as a message from His Highness Finn Lewis. He says he likes your discount.”
“Tsk, I knew it; so he isn’t that much of a prodigal, is he?” Oswald Wren immediately pursed his lips and said with feigned arrogance. Nora Rhodes, standing by, couldn’t help but giggle and asked, “How much did he transfer?”
“3000 billion star credits, Your Highness,” Oswald Wren’s personal intelligence device responded. And just as Wren was full of arrogance, convinced he had seen through Finn Lewis’s nature, his entire facial expression froze, while Nora Rhodes’s mouth gaped open in shock.
