Chapter 604 Bargaining
Time flies, it's Monday again and I have to go to work.
It is already late autumn, the weather is getting cooler, and the annoying cicada chirping has completely disappeared.
Su Xia rushed to the office . He saw Enterprise sitting on the sofa, holding a folder and looking through some documents. He took a look from a distance and saw that it was the resource income and expenditure statement of the garrison. He was sure that Enterprise knew the information that he wanted to make a big construction on the Holy Construction Day.
The door of the office was always open, and there was no sound of pushing the door. Enterprise heard hurried footsteps and even panting. He looked up and saw Su Xia walking into the office. She closed the folder and put it on her lap. She said without any politeness: "I heard that the Saint Founding Day is coming in a few days. The admiral wants to do a big construction on that day."
"Who told you?" Su Xia asked. Although he never thought of hiding it.
Enterprise did not answer his question. She just raised her hand and spread out her five fingers. Her fingers were slender and long like works of art, and her palms were white. She said, "Ten times, no more."
What do you mean ten times can't be more?
He stayed in Leipzig's room last night. Leipzig Grandet is still Grandet, and a very lovely girl.
Anyway, it’s impossible to do it ten times. It’s just a joke from the beginning to the end.
Su Xia was stunned for ten seconds when he heard what Qiye said. He finally realized that the ten times she mentioned meant that it could only be built ten times. He bargained, "Ten times is too little."
He didn't know what kind of life the other garrison commanders led, nor was he interested in finding out. In his mind, ten constructions were really insignificant.
"How many times does the Admiral want to build it?" Enterprise asked back.
Su Xia was obviously silent. He still remembered that he had made a big construction not long ago, which cost a lot of resources and caused the resources of the garrison to drop below one million. Of course, it was just a certain kind. Recently, it finally recovered and he was not so anxious.
This one needs to be built again, and I don't know how much resources it will cost. Su Xia was not confident, and hesitantly said: "At least twenty times."
Enterprise stared at Su Xia, then lowered his eyes and asked, "Are you sure?"
Su Xia felt a little guilty when being stared at by the company. He thought that he had just directly asked for a doubling of his salary. Was his request a little too much? He wanted to take a step back, but he felt that he could not show weakness when he opened his mouth. He looked around and said, "Sure, twenty times is not too much."
"It's settled then." Enterprise snapped his fingers and said, "Twenty times."
"Okay." Su Xia nodded happily. Reality is not like the game where you will be notified of new ship girls in the Holy Construction many days in advance - no one can refuse those beautiful or cute ship girls. I don't know how many people are so impatient that they can't wait to build them before the event starts. Although it is often idle after being built, what you don't get is always the best - there will be no disappointment if there is no hope.
Su Xia was calculating whether he could produce anything with his luck. His luck was just average. It took him many rounds on average to build one ship girl during the last construction. He should really ask for help from lucky ships like Sukhbaatar, Danyang, Enterprise, etc., but the problem was how to help.
Su Xia suddenly thought of something and frowned subconsciously.
"Enterprise." Su Xia shouted, "I find that I seem to have been tricked by you."
"How did I trick you?" Enterprise tilted his head, and his soft golden hair fell from his shoulders.
"They asked for more than ten times, which made me feel embarrassed to ask for more." Su Xia said, thinking that there was a trick called asking for a high price and paying a low price. The company asked for a high price, but he was not so shameless as to pay a low price, which was really a scam.
"Admiral, are you blaming me?" Enterprise said, "I asked you how many times you wanted to build it, and you said you wanted twenty times. Then I specifically asked the admiral if you were sure, and the admiral said yes... I really don't understand, where did I trick the admiral."
Su Xia was speechless. After thinking for a while, he raised his hand, held up three fingers, and tried to say, "Twenty times is really a bit too little. How about thirty times... I went to the warehouse yesterday to check the income and expenditure of the garrison. The recent expedition has yielded a lot of gains. Thirty times is really nothing."
"Okay." Enterprise nodded.
"Forty times?" Su Xia asked. This is a typical example of greed and desire for more.
"Okay." Enterprise smiled.
Enterprise was so easy to talk to that Su Xia felt guilty. He thought it was wrong to be greedy and swallow an elephant. He said, "It doesn't need to be forty times. Just thirty times... or twenty times. As an admiral, I can't break my promise and not keep my word."
Enterprise stood up, stuffed the folder back into the filing cabinet, leaned against the filing cabinet and squinted at Su Xia and said, "They built it because there is no one in the garrison. The admiral's garrison has as many people as he wants. A lot of people stay in the garrison every day and there is nothing to do... Why do they want to build it so much?"
It is said that 99% of the world's wealth belongs to only 1% of the people. The same is true for admirals. A large number of ship girls belong to only a small number of admirals.
If it is just a gap between the rich and the poor, the rich can help the poor and alleviate poverty.
The ship girls of a garrison will stay in that garrison. Even if there are many ship girls in some garrisons, most of them are idle and cannot support those garrisons that lack ship girls. The main reason is that the ship girls cannot leave the admiral for a long time. Once they leave the admiral, they will not be able to feel at ease in their spiritual harbor. To put it another way, I have many children and you have few children. Should I give you a child? It will never be possible.
It doesn't matter if the trick is new, as long as it works. Su Xia Lao made an excuse: "You know, no admiral can refuse to build. This is the admiral's fate... Besides, this is not the Holy Construction Day. We have agreed to build together. I am also an admiral. I can't be unsociable."
"Haven't you done enough things that are not in line with the group?" Enterprise said. As a secretary ship, she knew that Su Xia had joined the admiral group, but she almost never spoke. She obviously knew quite a few admirals, but she seemed like a nosy girl. She had conducted an exercise with Shang Chu's garrison for so long.
"It's because I've done too many things that are not sociable, so now I want to do more things that are sociable." Su Xia said in a low voice. He didn't even believe what he said.
"Even so," the company said, "you can just lie to everyone that you built it, and no one will come to investigate you."
"I don't want to cheat people." Su Xia said, "Does the company want me to be a liar?"
"Haven't you lied enough?" Qiye sat back down on the sofa, picked up his teacup and crossed his legs.
Victory is now helping everyone make black tea. People still prefer Victory's black tea. The level of these British cuisines is terrible, but the level of making black tea is still quite good. Su Xia found his black tea cup, poured himself a cup of black tea, and took a small sip.
"When did I lie?" Su Xia looked at Qiye's beautiful blue eyes. "I will always like Qiye. Qiye is beautiful, generous, handsome, chic, independent, and confident... I promise that there is nothing false about her."
Even though Enterprise was a girl, she had no way of rejecting the sweet words from her favorite admiral. She couldn't help but smile, and a light appeared on her face. She gave in and said, "Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you."
Su Xia was all smiles, looking very proud of himself. He now had a very eloquent mouth.
When Su Xia's smile faded a little, Enterprise said, "To be honest, Admiral, do you really not think that there are too many ship girls in the naval base? One person can't take care of them all."
"I remember the admiral always wanted the port to be filled with everyone's laughter." As the secretary ship, Enterprise certainly knew what Su Xia was thinking. "You always said you would get in touch with everyone, find out their problems, and help them solve their problems... Have you gotten in touch with everyone and are familiar with them now?"
"I've had a good contact with most of them, and only a small number are left." Su Xia felt really guilty this time. Good contact does not mean just saying hello when you meet them, but having a good chat to understand how they live in the garrison.
"There are several hundred people in the garrison, and even a small half of them should be over a hundred people," Enterprise said.
"That's about right." Su Xia lowered her head and blew air into the tea, not daring to look at the Enterprise.
"How many months has it been since the admiral officially moved into the garrison in early August and now he's on patrol in November?" Enterprise said, "About three months. In three months, there are still hundreds of people who haven't been properly interacted with?"
"No time." Su Xia explained, and this was not perfunctory.
"I don't care about that." Enterprise waved his hand and said, "I only know that the Admiral spent three months and so many people didn't have a good talk, and now we have to build it."
"I've made up my mind." Su Xia put down the teacup. "In a few months, I have learned almost all the knowledge I need to learn... At least I have mastered all the basics. The rest can only be learned slowly... You can't get fat in one bite."
For an admiral, there are many things to learn. It often takes several years to go from a trainee admiral to a full-fledged admiral, and even after graduation, there is still training from time to time.
Su Xia's learning ability is quite good, and he has spent several months studying. In addition, he is not a student but an admiral, so he is practicing all the time. The most important thing is that he has famous teachers to guide him. Everyone patiently and carefully teaches him all kinds of knowledge. Even if he is not an excellent admiral, he is still a qualified admiral.
"And then?" Enterprise asked.
"I've thought about it. From today on, I'll just set aside some time every day to study." Su Xia thought for a while and said, "If there is work, I will definitely give priority to it. Besides, if no deep-sea ship girls appear, there will basically be no work..."
Su Xia didn't know why, but there were basically no ordinary deep-sea ship girls in the waters under the jurisdiction of his garrison, and the corresponding deep-sea flagships often appeared near their garrison. Not to mention the things in the game, from the Deep Sea Eagle to the deep-sea battleship that suddenly appeared on Halloween, it fully proved this point. Is he the child of destiny?
"If you don't have work to do," Su Xia said, "read some books and study for two hours in the morning. In the afternoon, spend more time with everyone. That's also my job as an admiral."
"I still think the admiral should focus all his work on accompanying everyone." Enterprise said. She was not Lexington. She believed from the bottom of her heart that it would be best for the admiral to do nothing and just eat, drink and sleep well every day. She did not like to pamper the admiral. She was purely considering the garrison. The work of the garrison could be handed over to everyone. Only the admiral could accompany everyone.
"No." Su Xia refused decisively. You could say he was being willful, but no matter what, he wanted to keep learning and become an excellent admiral. He didn't want to be an admiral who could do nothing without everyone, or he wanted to be an admiral who matched everyone.
"I don't know what the admiral insists on doing either." Enterprise shrugged and said, "If there is no work, I can spend every afternoon with everyone, so that more ship girls can feel the admiral's presence every day, but what about at night?"
"Eh?" Su Xia was stunned. "You're making it difficult for me... I can only accompany one person a night."
"It doesn't matter if it's just a kid." Su Xia recalled the night not long ago when she stayed in the U-boat dormitory. She hugged the little angel U156 with her left hand and the little foodie U96 with her back hand... Each of the U-boats was so cute that she couldn't bear to let go of any of them.
"You adults don't have too many problems, do you?" Su Xia still remembered playing with Mutsu, Indiana and others for a night, and then lying on the same bed to sleep, "Of course I can only sleep."
"What do you mean you can only sleep?" Enterprise asked.
"Don't tell me you don't know what I mean." Su Xia said. He had already stayed in Qiye's room, and Qiye was now an experienced person.
"I heard that the Admiral once..." Enterprise put his finger on his lips as if thinking, "slept with Missouri and Hindenburg... can only sleep?"
Su Xia said righteously: "I don't know what you are talking about."
Enterprise laughed, "You know Missouri and I are good friends... She told me everything... The reason why she asked the admiral not to spread this matter was mainly because she was afraid of the bad influence, but I am one of them."
“What…” Su Xia knew that the enterprise had more tricks than anyone else.
Enterprise laughed, and no one knew what she was thinking.
"Lexington should have told the admiral," Enterprise said. "The admiral is from the garrison... I like Missouri's description. The admiral is a public facility of the garrison. Everyone must take care of it."
Su Xia knew what Enterprise wanted to say. He stared at Enterprise with bulging eyes and said, "What do you mean by public facilities in the garrison?"
"Isn't it?" Enterprise asked.
"Of course not." Su Xia said.
"What's that?" Enterprise asked.
"Admiral." Su Xia said, "Your man."
"So what do you think of that proposal, Admiral?" Enterprise said.
"Honestly, I don't think it's necessary." Su Xia said. He actually supported it, but a man can't say no.
"Really?" Enterprise looked incredulous.
Su Xia curled her lips, walked away with the cup of red tea, sat behind her desk, and calculated how many days were left until Shengjian Day.
