The Death Knell

"Free trade. What exactly does it mean?"

As he kept chewing this phrase in his mouth, Arthur touched his beard guiltily, because he could understand all these words in English, but why did Deathstroke have a weird smile on his face when he said this?

The expression was a bit dark. I couldn't explain why it gave people such a feeling, but it made people feel panicked.

"To put it simply, it is necessary to allow mainlanders and Haitians to exchange their needs on a large scale and gain benefits from business, thereby improving the relationship between the two parties. As you know, ordinary people do not talk about doctrines or spirituality. They care more about interests. .”

Su Ming is more experienced when it comes to this kind of activity. Although he leaves all business and financial matters to Gin, before free trade, there was still "open the door!" ’ This step?

When it comes to armed actions, that's his specialty.

Of course, when free trade was implemented in the past, if the other party needed to open the door, the fleet and space warriors would usually do it without Su Ming himself taking action.

However, the adjutant still had to report this kind of use of force before sending troops, so he himself would pay a little attention to it every time.

"Indeed, I think so too, Slade, but as expected, you mercenaries are the ones who can do business."

The happy Neptune dropped the empty sign in his hand and clinked the wine bottle with Deathstroke. After ignoring the weird smile, he felt that this was really a good idea:

"If there are underwater people who have made money in trade, they will definitely be happy to maintain this relationship. However, the currency of the seven underwater countries is only gold. Is this okay?"

There was no option for trade underwater. In the past, it was all about bartering. I would trade shells for your crabs, or you would trade kelp for my jewelry. That was pretty much it.

There is no strict market price. If both parties are satisfied, then the transaction can be concluded.

But after Arthur became Aquaman, he actually tried to engage in some trade with his teammates in Zhenglian.

Some high-tech equipment from the Wayne Group, fruits and furs from Paradise Island, underwater engineering machinery from the Quinn Group, and even the Metropolitan Daily have ordered a batch.

How should I put it? He didn't persist. It was more like an occasional group purchase. He placed a few orders in the name of the royal family and then nothing more happened. It did not form a fixed business route.

What Su Ming is talking about now is obviously saying that he is going to get involved in this trade. This is of course a good thing for Arthur, because he knows that Deathstroke doesn't look at anything from the underwater people at all, and he is just helping.

"Of course, gold is very good. Whether it is manufacturing circuit boards or works of art, gold is used."

In fact, Su Ming is not short of resources, especially gold, which is abundant in the universe. He hopes to exchange things for things, such as the unique handicrafts of the underwater people:

"I have a Wilson Group in another universe. All kinds of goods are very good. But the adjutant will contact Tula about what goods are traded and how to form a trade route. We don't need to worry about this kind of thing."

"Do you still know Tula? That would be great. I will inform her about it."

Arthur smiled and nodded. It would be best if he could just ignore the matter. With his primary school education level, he would get a headache just by looking at the account books.

"How could I not recognize the sea maiden? The current nominal queen of Atlantis is Mela, but Tula is the regent who is above all others, and she is obviously on your side."

After eating barbecue and a sip of wine, the seahorse meat is a bit old, but that's normal. After all, animals that live in the deep sea often have tough meat if they don't have exoskeletons.

Tula, the sea maiden, used to be Arthur's little follower, and her status was like the Batgirl next to Batman. This woman could be said to be an all-rounder, and she was somewhat like Alfred who could go out in the field.

She has no life force, but she has super strength. She is thick-skinned and can fight and carry. She is also good at a lot of things that many superheroes are not good at.

For example, Tula is very good at commanding large armies under the sea to fight, internal affairs, diplomacy, solving crimes and arresting criminals, and cooking. She is a good hand at all.

Speaking of which, Arthur's ability to take care of himself was pretty good when he lived alone in the past, but since Tula became his follower, he was almost raised as a useless person, because the girl could do all the little things in life for him.

The reason why she is called a girl is not because of how young she is, but because among the superpowers of Qing Yishui, a strong man and a fierce woman, her height of 165cm and weight of 50kg appear to be too petite and delicate.

As an Atlantean, she has a good relationship with many human superheroes. She once joined the Titans team and served as substitute for her ex-boyfriend Seastorm Garth. When she and Raven stood together, many enemies... Can't tell who is the thin caster.

Her most striking feature is that she is a 1.65-meter-long girl with a 1.8-meter-long ponytail, which floats when she swims underwater. It really looks like a long tail, which is very interesting.

This girl is very loyal to Arthur. She is one of the team members prepared for him by the former queen, Arthur's mother Atlanna. She has been brought up with him since she was a child. She is very reliable. It is no problem to say that she is Arthur's god sister. .

Once Arthur and Mela were trapped on an alien planet and could not return. Someone in Atlantis took power in a coup and took over the throne and took control of the army. It was Tula who formed a rebel army and underwater guerrillas, and they kept fighting against each other, and even Regained the royal power.

In fact, if Su Ming had to look at it, he felt that Mela was no match for Tula. If Arthur hadn't taken the initiative to give up the throne to his wife, and Tula would have stumbled a little bit, Mela wouldn't have been able to sit firmly.

Nowadays, the military, political, property and other powers of Atlantis are all in the hands of Tula. She recognizes Mela as the queen, and then Mela is the queen. If she doesn’t recognize it, then Mela is the queen.

Well, Su Ming is thinking in a dark direction again.

In fact, it was precisely because of Tula's existence that Arthur could live leisurely in the Cien Harbor Lighthouse alone. This fool didn't even know how many things the girl had done for him behind his back.

She was so busy that she broke up with Gus earlier, and now she is almost thirty years old, still single, and doesn't even have time to find a bed partner.

Su Ming had nothing to say about this. Since he wanted to do business with Atlantis anyway, it was useless to approach Arthur and Mela, because even if he approached them, the matter would still be left to Tula to implement in the end.

The two couples are quite similar in this respect. They both have the same hands. If it were another country and entrusted to the wrong person, they would have been doomed long ago.

In short, after discussing the general direction of trade, the topic soon changed to the gossip of superheroes. It seems that the life force of Neptune really has other uses. In addition to talking to fish, it can also be used to eavesdrop. Great, this also shows that his mastery of his own abilities has improved, right?

It seems that he has surpassed his original self during this time.
