Admiral Ford comes back with a grin on his face. And everyone notices it.
Looks like you get something good. Said Ark smiling.
"That's right those old farts finally give in." Said Ford smiling smugly.
Vice admiral Sheila, just shakes her head while smiling. As for Lisa she giggles.
"Hahaha, it looks like we can finally talk real business now." Said Arc laughing.
"That's right kids playtime is over." Said Admiral Ford.
I've been authorized to give you whatever you demand as long as it's not too much...
Haha, well that depends on how much they want it. How about this admiral give me twice what I need for materials and ill give you 250 special solutions every month.
Plus 7 solutions every week for the three of you. How's that sound admiral.
300 plus I will give you 2x more Space Beast meat at the price of 1.
That's a bit of a problem as we still need to spend on the construction and everything. Add this list of materials, and you've got yourself a deal...
Arm handed him a list of materials. The materials are not rare, but the amount is staggering 2 billion tons of class 5 steel, 2 billion tons of class 5….
There are at least 20 materials on the list and the minimum amount is 2 billion tons.
But Admiral Ford just looks at it and there's no change in his expressions if a person looking at it as a superpower from Earth he would be cursing nonstop by now.
But any power from space, this amount is not much the only problem is transporting it here on earth. GFA owns thousands of resource planets, rare materials are another matter but ordinary materials they have trillions of tons of it in reserve...
And as expected, Admiral Ford looks at it and said. This is not a problem I can even triple it if you want the problem is transporting it here on Earth. Said Admiral Ford.
The promise of 7 solutions a week put him in a very good mood. Plus the materials Arc is asking for are all common materials besides the materials needed for the construction of production facilities.
"That's another thing I would like to ask. I want a bigger warehouse on Solar Space Stations." Said Arc.
"That's also not a problem, but I have a better solution," said Admiral Ford.
Oh, what's that? Said Arc grinning.
"It's rare for me to have full power in negotiations in GFA so let's put it into good use. I can't touch any property in Liberty, but other places are not a problem..." Admiral Ford look at Arc and Grinned how about your own resource space stations?
"Huh? I don't understand Admiral, are you giving me a resource space station.?" Ask Arc in confusion.
"That's exactly what I'm saying. It just so happen we are replacing several of our deep space resource space stations because of damages. With the war on Ganesh. And it just so happen one of them is relatively intact. And only slightly damaged. That is the one I plan to give to you. How's that?" Said Admiral Ford with a cunning smile.
What's the catch admiral those space stations are very expensive. I don't believe you're just giving it to me just like that. Said Arc.
Lisa then said, "Oh those, that's very clever Admiral."
"Yeah that's killing 2 birds no 3 birds with one stone," said Vice Admiral Sheila.
Arc look at them in confusion. Lisa's notice it and smile.
"Let me explain, where do you think GFA gets all its funding? Lisa looks at Arc smiling and ask.
"Hmm, wasn't it comes from the twelve human superpowers on Earth?"
That's only one part of it. The twelve superpowers only real support is their soldiers and weapons they handed over to GFA to fight the war, then what about the expenses and maintenance cost even with the twelve superpowers they can't shoulder all that. Said Lisa.
Then something hit Arc. Private enterprise he whispered.
"Lisa grinned that's half right, war is like a company the twelve superpowers who give up soldiers and weapons receive the biggest portion of the stocks and become the biggest stockholder and become the board of directors they will be responsible for running the company. The rest of the stocks is auction off to the highest bidder. And the money collected from those bidders goes to GFA as Resource Funds, but that doesn't mean they can use it whatever they want. So in order to use it, they must have a reason to use it."
"Like replacing deep space resource space stations."
"Bingo," said vice Admiral Sheila.
"We will then say we sold it to you for additional military-grade solutions that will be lost by the attacks of Ganesh." Said Admiral Ford laughing.
"Are you sure it's alright to tell me that?" Arc look at Ford and Smile.
"If it's someone else I'll be worried, but you no problem," said Admiral Ford grinning at him.
"Then how about selling me the rest of those decommission space station?" Said Arc, stunning the rest.
"What do you need them for?" Ask Lisa.
"I don't need them per se. But I can dismantle and recycle them for more materials. My production ship is idle for quite some time. They need something to do." Said Arc.
Admiral Ford thinks for a bit and agreed to sell the rest of those space stations to Arc for military-grade solutions.
By the end of the day, they finally agreed on the terms.
GFA will pay for the cost of the production facility and will receive a 50% discount for 20 years for purchasing 300 special solutions every month. The list of materials was included in the contract, including the additional common materials he asks and true to his word admiral ford triple the amount he asks for the common materials.
They also agreed GFA will pay using rare materials for the purchase of special solutions Arc didn't ask for an expensive price for the special solutions that make the higher up very happy. They didn't bother with the deal of Arc buying decommission space stations. Admiral Ford even offers to deliver the space stations somewhere near Earth so that Arc can dismantle them in safety.
The next day the official contract is made with the seal of the first bank on it. Arc happily signed it.
He was over the moon with this deal. It's the biggest gain he has on a single deal. Just 300 rank 5 solutions for materials enough to equipped and armed 10 million men to the teeth he can't ask for more.
With that material, they didn't have to worry about rare materials for the next ten years. That's how big the gains he gets.
"Eve start building whatever we need, I think we should build warbots for the Army, and some Air forces as well discussed it with Tom we need to speed up our plan I have a feeling something is about to happen, and I don't want to be caught unprepared." Said Arc.
"Yes, Boss."
