Chapter 477 - Tolle
Chapter 477: Tolle
At this point, Lei Luo listened for a while and then continued, “300 million. Just 300 million gold coins, and you can win such a huge profit for President Trump. Isn’t this a worthwhile business?”
“This isn’t a business.” Trump waved his hand. “This is a gamble.”
“Even so, this is a gamble worth taking, isn’t it?” Lei Luo said with a smile.
Trump raised his head and stared at Lei Luo. After staring at each other for a while, Trump asked, “Now I want to know how much profit I will get if I bet.”
“This 300 million gold coins is just the first installment. After I take down the Cape of Good Hope, President Trump will give me another 700 million gold coins. This total of one billion in cash is the commission that you will pay us.”
“If it’s the exclusive agency of the Cape of Good Hope’s pirate trade, a one billion gold coin commission is still reasonable. What’s the percentage?”
Lei Luo thought for a moment and replied, “Seventy-thirty percent of all income.”
“Seventy-thirty?” Trump shook his head in dissatisfaction. “Thirty percent is too low for me.”
Lei Luo smiled and corrected, “No, President Trump, what you get is not thirty percent, but seventy percent.”
“Huh?” This time, Trump was a little stunned. “70%?”
“Do you feel that it’s too much of a bargain that President Trump thinks it’s a little unreliable?” Lei Luo asked with a smile.
Trump nodded. “To be honest, I do feel that way.”
Lei Luo asked again, “Then, apart from a formal contract, how can I convince you of my promise?”
Trump replied, “It’s very simple. I need to arrange one of my people by your side.”
This time, it was Lei Luo’s turn to be surprised. “Just one person?”
Trump replied, “It’s useless. Arranging a million people is just a waste of salary. The truly useful one is enough.”
“Sure, who is it?” Lei Luo asked.
Trump stood up with a smile and clapped his hands gently. “Tolle, it’s your turn.”
On the route from Golden Wall’s splendor to the city closest to the mother nest of the Grizzly Pirates, there was a dragon-class passenger ship.
This was an exclusive passenger ship, which meant that there were only two passengers on the ship.
One was Lei Luo, and the other was Tolle, who was wearing a mask.
It had been twelve hours since they boarded the ship, but the two of them didn’t say a word to each other.
As soon as they boarded the ship, Tolle opened the paper book he had brought and began to read.
Seeing him like this, Lei Luo didn’t want to disturb him.
When he saw Tolle finish reading a book, Lei Luo thought that it was time to talk. Who knew that Tolle would take out another book from somewhere and continue reading.
In the middle, the waiter brought in lunch. Lei Luo thought that they could talk during lunch, but Tolle was still reading even then. Lei Luo was speechless.
After a full twelve hours…
At this time, the waiter walked in again.
“The two of you, dinner is ready. Please eat.”
Lei Luo turned around and looked at Tolle. When Tolle stood up and saw his gaze, he stared at the book in Tolle’s hand.
The meaning was very clear. If you read less for a few minutes and talk to me, you won’t die, right? Cool as it was, there had to be a limit, right?
Tolle hesitated for a moment, put down the book, and then walked to the dining table.
Lei Luo smiled and followed behind Tolle. The two of them took their seats opposite each other.
As soon as it was on the table, Lei Luo quickly finished the food.
Then, he sat upright and stared solemnly at Tolle, who was eating slowly.
Finally, Tolle couldn’t take it anymore and said, “What’s so beautiful on my mask?”
Hearing this, Lei Luo smiled proudly.
“You finally spoke. Just now, my left eye was betting with my right eye on who would speak first. Now it seems that my left eye won.”
Tolle looked at Lei Luo and said, “I don’t want to be rude to you, but you’re really boring like this.”
“That’s right, it’s indeed a little boring.”
Lei Luo smiled and nodded.
“Then let’s talk about something else? For example, your mask…I’m really curious, why do you always wear this mask? Is it specifically for me, or are you always like this since you were young?”
Torre said coldly, “This has nothing to do with President Trump’s deal with you. I don’t want to answer this question.”
“All right then, let’s talk about something related to the deal,” Lei Luo said and thought for a while.
“Do you mind introducing yourself? I’m really curious about your relationship with President Trump and why he trusts you so much. The use of the 300 million gold coins investment is actually entirely your responsibility.”
“My name is Tolle.”
Tolle wiped his mouth as he spoke, then looked at Lei Luo and spoke in a very serious tone.
“I’m done introducing myself.”
Lei Luo smiled helplessly and shook his head.
“I’m really completely defeated. I’m starting to wonder if Trump is deliberately using you to tactfully reject me. Otherwise, why would he send me such a strange supervisor?”
“Do you think my silence will affect the deal between you and President Trump?” Tolle asked.
Lei Luo’s eyes widened as he replied, “Of course, there’s no doubt. If you were this silent when I asked for payment, I would go crazy.”
“All right, then I’ll explain it to you.”
Tolle cleared his throat slightly.
“Actually, I’m a person who doesn’t like to talk much, but it’s not to the extent of being taciturn. The reason why I deliberately kept silent for such a long time just now was because I wanted to observe something from you.”
“Observe me?” Lei Luo pointed at himself. “Did you? Why don’t I feel it? I only saw you foolishly reading a book.”
“Stop pretending, okay? This will make me feel like you’re insulting my intelligence.”
Tolle blinked his eyes.
“You’re good at hiding, and you like to hide your true nature. From the beginning, you’ve felt my observation of you. So you’re uncomfortable all over, trying hard to break this feeling of being observed by me unilaterally.”
Lei Luo blinked his eyes playfully, revealing a smile that was hard to read through.
