Chapter 415 Buying a Ship
"Have you signed it?"
"You don't have to thank me too much, I can still help you with this!"
"Unfortunately, Luffy, your grandfather can't be contacted now, and I don't know what happened. Otherwise, with your grandfather as a guarantor, maybe we can get the lowest interest."
"Of course, the interest is not much. According to the money you borrowed now, you will only pay back millions of Baileys every month for a total of ten years. For you who have dreams, it's just a small matter. Someone will discuss the specific amount with you later."
"In addition, I still have to remind you here, remember to make money well and repay on time. If you don't have money, there will be professionals to collect debts, check, and auction!"
Xia Che smiled and put away the document that had been signed by five names. There were two copies, one was placed here, and the other was kept by the Straw Hat Workers.
After sorting out the documents, he looked at the five people with dark faces in front of him and said with a smile, "If you still feel it's not enough, you can borrow again. Don't worry, I still have this face!"
"..."X4
Who would borrow again with this interest!
Except for Luffy, the other four people couldn't help but complain in their hearts.
They just went out to sea and already owed hundreds of millions of Baileys.
Of course, although the interest rate is a little high, there is nothing they can do about it now.
As long as they can buy a ship, they can go out to sea to continue their adventures, and they don't have to stay here to make money.
As for paying back millions every month, it is much easier than trying to make money to buy a ship here now.
It's just a million a month, I believe with their ability, they can definitely pay it back.
But...
It's finally over!
Thinking of this, the five people were still a little excited.
Next, as long as they buy a ship, I believe they will be able to enter the Grand Line!
The five people looked at each other, and then looked at Xia Che, "Then the money..."
"As for the money, you don't have to worry about it. I remember you want to buy a ship! Calculate the time..." Xia Che shook his head with a smile, and then looked at the time again, frowned, and said, "It should be here soon!"
As he said that, he raised his head again and looked at the door. When he saw a figure walking in, he also smiled.
"Are you here already?"
As soon as the words fell.
"???"X5
The five people were stunned and turned their heads to look at the door. When they saw a tall figure in a suit and leather shoes, holding a briefcase, walking in, the five people were immediately surprised.
"Robot?!"
"I don't know him, but he looks familiar!"
"Is it you, the hentai?"
"I remember his name is Franky!"
"What is this guy doing here?"
"I didn't expect it was you guys!" Franky, dressed in a suit and tie instead of his usual perverted look, walked in cheerfully, "Straw hat, bellyband, curly eyebrows, long nose, and big butt, I thought it was a big order! If I had known it was you guys, I wouldn't have changed my clothes."
As he said that, he didn't care about the five people who looked gloomy because of his address, and sat aside, opened the file bag in his hand, took out a color picture book with a beautiful ship cover, put it on the table, and said with a heroic smile, "I heard you want to buy a ship? What kind of ship are you going to buy? Do you need me to introduce it?"
"Ship?" X5
Hearing Franky's words, the five people also came back to their senses and lowered their heads to look at the beautiful picture book on the table.
"What a beautiful ship!"
"I remember, this pervert seemed to say that he was a shipbuilder?"
"He is a senior technical shipbuilder at the East China Sea Shipyard." The well-informed Usopp looked at Franky and said seriously, "I also inquired about this guy at the time. He is very famous at the shipyard and is a senior shipbuilder who ranks quite high. I heard that many famous ships were designed by him."
"That's right, I didn't expect that your long nose actually investigated me?" Hearing someone praising him, Franky also raised his head proudly, with his hands on his waist, "I am so awesome, so..."
He lowered his head again and looked at the five people in front of him, "What kind of ship do you want to buy?"
"What kind of ship?"
The five people looked at each other and frowned.
Originally, they were just planning to buy a cheap, second-hand ship that could go to sea, no matter how broken it was. For this reason, Usopp went to several nearby recycling points to look.
But now that the budget is more, maybe they can buy a slightly better ship.
But what kind of ship should they buy?
"It seems that you still don't know what kind of boat to buy?" Frankie seemed to see their distress and pondered for a moment, "Maybe you can tell me your needs and budget!"
"Needs? If possible, I want to have a great boat. After all, it is our future partner!"
"Don't forget the kitchen and the dining room, otherwise, I won't be in the mood to cook for you!"
"I want a workout room where I can exercise anytime and anywhere!"
"In that case, I want a workbench!"
"Don't forget the lookout room. If possible, let's get a big bathroom and toilet!"
The five people immediately started to discuss. They were still very much looking forward to the boat.
"Kitchen, dining room, exercise room, workbench, observation room, large bathroom, toilet?" Frankie listened to them and took notes, "These requirements are not difficult."
After writing down all their requirements, he looked up and looked at them, "By the way, you haven't mentioned the budget yet!"
"Budget... 60 million Baileys, oh, no, it should be 50 million Baileys, and there are still 10 million to pay back to others." Belmeber pondered for a moment, looked at Frankie expectantly, and said, "50 million Baileys... Is this enough?"
Although they could borrow 1 billion, after discussing it, they still didn't borrow that much.
"Of course..." Franky nodded with a smile, but before the five people were happy, his face changed instantly, "Not enough! Fifty million Baileys? It's good enough to buy a fishing boat, but you have so many requirements? Are you making things difficult for me? You should know that our East China Sea Shipyard only makes fine ships. With your budget and requirements, you should go to the second-hand market to have a look!"
"..."X5
"Is it really not enough?" Hearing Franky's words, Belmeber was not surprised. He sighed, looked at the four people in front of him, and said helplessly, "Why don't we go to the second-hand market to have a look?"
"That's the only way!" Sanji nodded, sighed, and said, "Let's find a way to go out to sea first!"
However
"But I want a great ship!" Luffy yelled unhappily, "This is our future partner!"
"Stupid, it's enough to have a ship to go out to sea now, are you really going to work here for the rest of your life?"
"Yes, Luffy, we can buy it later!"
"Yeah!" Luffy pouted, looking at the picture book that Franky spread out on the table, with his arms folded, as if he was struggling with something.
But just when everyone was about to take him away.
Luffy turned his head, smiled at Xia Che, and said, "Can you lend me some more money? Xia Che."
"Luffy?!" X4
"Of course!" Before the four people who were stunned could say anything, Xia Che nodded with a smile and said, "Don't worry about the money, let's see what kind of ship you need first!"
"You are such a good person! Thank you!"
"This guy is cheating you!"
"How can he be a good person with such interest?"
"Stupid, don't say such things here!"
"Chief Xia Che, Sanji is not talking about you! If you want to beat him, please beat him alone, it has nothing to do with us ! ”
When the four people were criticizing Luffy again, Franky came to Xia Che and lowered his voice, saying, "Boss, what is the upper limit?"
"You decide!"
"I understand!" Franky nodded, and then looked at the five people who were arguing in front of him, and said, "Dear guests, please stop arguing. You can take a look at what kind of ship you need first. Even if you don't want it, it doesn't matter. We are the East China Sea Dockyard!"
The disgust on his face disappeared immediately, replaced by a warm and hospitable smile, "I never lie to you, I'm just taking a look, I will never force you to buy it!"
