Chapter 710: Stealer

Silver galaxy.
This is one of the several core areas that belong to Locke, so it was lucky to escape the last pirate disaster.
Can hide past the first day, but not fifteenth.
When the plundering fleet of pirates made a comeback and began to raid the outer starfields, the people here finally heard the news.
A large wave of pirates is about to strike, but the Rock Consortium chose to dock its tail to survive. This undoubtedly exposed the Silver Galaxy directly to the pirates' fronts, and it was only a matter of time before it fell.
The city immediately fell into chaos, and a large number of citizens began to drag their families to the airport, hoping to escape to the Rock Galaxy, and even the more distant inland areas of the empire.
A young couple saluted with large bags and small bags. They were preparing to drive to escape in a panic, but when they looked up, they saw a suspended vehicle slowly landing on the parking lot next door.
"Huh? Pharaoh, aren't you going to go to the relatives of the Locke galaxy? Why are you back?" The male host carrying the bag looked at the middle-aged man who got out of the car in astonishment.
"Hey! Don't you know?"
"Uh... know what?"
"So, it's okay to watch the news more, not to watch the news, you can use the funny sound when you have time!" With that, Lao Wang called up his personal terminal and opened a short video.
["Two people, this is all the money in the family. Please two brothers have tea."
"..."
"The owner of the Bassanio Interstellar Transportation Company has 3.76 million empire credits for the remaining liquid assets under his name. It should be your wife and children. Should I be right?"
"..."
"Don't be afraid, we won't hurt you. According to the tiered rate table of protection fees formulated by Lord Pirate King, protection fees are waived for assets below 5000.
For those with assets of more than one million, but less than 5 million, a 10% protection fee is required. The elderly, weak, women and children are exempt from paying, so we need to charge a protection fee of 376,000 this time. Is it cash or transfer? "
"..."]
After watching this video, which was obviously taken by the access control system, the young couple looked at each other.
"This... is this true?"
There are still pirates in the world who feel that they have been robbed too much and take the initiative to find change?
"Can't fake it! Thousands of similar videos on the Internet are all from various galaxies captured by pirates.
Apart from anything else, in the video, Antonio and I have some business dealings, which is definitely not a trust!
Look, there is also this protection fee rate table, which is posted on the newly-built official website of the Broken Star Pirate Alliance, and a complaint hotline is also attached. If you charge too much, you can call anonymously to complain! "
What? There is an official website and complaint hotline?
Have all pirates switched to the service industry this year...
"But... but even so, they are still pirates!" The host hesitated.
"Hey! Everyone smiled and robbed him. Isn't it civilized enough? What do you want?
Besides, these pirates are much more merciful than the vampires. Do you know how much a ticket is at the airport? 1000000! Also declined bargaining!
That gang of wealthy people, even if they run ahead of time, don’t forget to take advantage of the fire and drink our blood before leaving!
I would rather let the pirates collect some protection fees than get on the gang of vampire thieves! "
"1 million? Are those two people 2 million?" The hostess beside him was startled.
They are just ordinary civilians, and they can't get 2 million for smashing pots and irons...unless the house is sold!
But the pirates have all hit the door, and now even if he wants to sell, someone has to be the picker!
After working through the accounts, their husband and wife’s current assets plus an annual income of approximately 350,000, and then still owe a mortgage of 4.6 million...according to the protection fee rate table...seven seven, two seven forty-eight, thirty-eight Women's Day, Labor Day, Children's Day...
After quickly calculating the account, her eyes lit up and she looked at her husband.
"Or... let's pay the protection fee?"
...
With the four-way pirate army looting one by one galaxy, the alliance's pirates' alternative protection fee collection method quickly spread.
This kind of pirates who are trustworthy, abiding by rules, and clearly marked prices, and civilized looting immediately stabilized the situation in the galaxy that was being looted and about to be looted.
Most civilians do not meet the requirements for collecting protection fees and do not need to run.
A small number of middle-class people can't afford ferry tickets and prefer to pay protection fees instead of running.
Only a very small number of the rich are frightened by the high protection fee rate, and they can run away eagerly!
This also provides great convenience to the pirates in collecting protection fees.
As long as you send soldiers to block the main roads leading to the outside world, and catch those who run away, you will definitely catch one by one. Everyone is a big fat sheep with rich wealth!
"Brother Ghost, high! With this plunder, not only the morale before the war was raised, but also the external image of the alliance was built up, killing two birds with one stone!
Next, let's wait for those caravans to take the initiative to pay the protection fee, right? "Chilong said cheerfully.
A pirate gang that only knows about sabotage and plunder, everyone naturally stays away, but pirates who are trustworthy and obey the rules are worthy of trust.
And trust is the basis of cooperation!
"Hmm! Not bad!" Nie Yun smiled.
"Pirates with pursuits and ideals should not be synonymous with killing and destruction, but should be the challenger of the traditional order and the maker of the new order.
Killing and destruction will not produce wealth, only the redistribution of wealth, but order can.
They paid the protection fee, and our boundaries were unimpeded. We saved the cost of robbery, and the other party reduced the risk of losing money. This is a win-win situation!
It won’t take long for more scrupulous caravans to choose to take our golden route. The more caravans that come and go, the more our protection fee will be.
This is to make the cake bigger. "
In response, Flint nodded in agreement.
As the overlord of one party, Flint of course also understands the principle of making rules and making the cake bigger, but there were no conditions for actual execution before.
Imagine that there are six others who are as strong as you.
what? Someone paid you a protection fee, let us leave him alone? Why? You can't get it wrong!
Don't you give me protection money? How do you look down on me?
Give me a shot!
Over time, who else is willing to pay protection fees?
In a word, if you want to be a rule maker, the foundation of everything is strength!
And the Broken Star Pirate Alliance, undoubtedly already has the strength to make some rules.
"I don't understand the principles you said, but I understand what you mean. In other words, let's wait to get rich next?" Chilong rubbed his hands excitedly.
"Well... if we continue to implement it step by step according to my vision, we are not as simple as getting rich.
Let me give you a chestnut. For example, in ancient times, the opening remarks of the robbery were like this: I opened this mountain, and I planted this tree. If you want to pass this time, you will stay and buy money!
Listen! How vulgar the language is!
After thousands of years of civilization baptism, in modern society, the language has become more civilized and more intimate: 500 meters ahead of the toll booth, please slow down! "
"Uh...what does this chestnut tell us?" Chilong was puzzled, but the others looked thoughtful.
Nie Yun scanned the crowd and said with a smile.
"This story tells us that the hook thief is punishable, the country thief... Hou!"
"Hiss~"
