Chapter 446 Captain, you don’t want this to be
Chapter 446 Captain, you don’t want this matter to be...
The tip of the needle is facing the wheat awn.
Goblin vs Goblin!
Hugo's first words hit Ronald's painful foot accurately.
"On-time delivery insurance" is a product launched by Caron Commercial Airlines Alliance.
Based on the type and quantity of the goods, and the distance to be transported, after paying the corresponding proportion of premiums, the commercial aviation alliance created by the goblin tycoon Caron will promise to deliver the goods to the destination within the agreed time.
Normally, this time will be quite short, no more than 7 days.
The goblins can make such a promise because of the huge advantage of airships in rapid transportation regardless of terrain.
Land transportation and sea transportation are completely incomparable with airships in terms of speed.
If the goods cannot be delivered within the agreed time, Caron Commercial Aviation Alliance will pay a compensation to the beneficiary, which is equivalent to overtime compensation.
Goblins are really good at making money.
The premium for "on-time delivery insurance" is not cheap, sometimes even reaching 20% to 30% of the value of the goods.
Expensive.
But it's quite popular.
Because the things that need to be transported by goblin airships are either in short supply or urgently needed. In short, they must be the kind that would rather spend more money and use a more expensive airship than choose land or water routes.
The higher shipping costs are all out.
Basically, you don’t care about the extra 20% or 30% of the premium.
…
An expert will know if there is one as soon as he takes action.
If it were Pate, he wouldn't be able to figure out the connection between the on-time insurance and Captain Ronald even to death.
Hugo thought about it, not only thought about it, but also figured out how to use this connection.
The answer is straightforward.
The tycoon Caron Lever is not a philanthropist. For every copper lost in the commercial insurance he sells, the responsibility will fall on the airship-related personnel who caused the loss!
in other words.
The money to be paid by the insurance ended up being paid by Captain Ronald from his belt!
Ronald's face turned dark, he clutched his money bag tightly and shook his head desperately:
"No no no!"
"Insurance delivered on time, disclaimer and related supplementary rules, item 4, item 2, if the airship is damaged due to accidents, force majeure, such as void pollution, the advent of evil gods, monster attacks, or the existence of a no-fly zone in the local area, etc. No compensation will be paid for delays!”
"The Golden Chao Po Feng undoubtedly meets the conditions for an accident!"
"Everything went smoothly in the first half of this voyage. In the second half, the airship was forced to land due to a sudden malfunction and the cargo was damaged!"
Hugo had already expected the opponent's stubbornness.
After all, everyone is a goblin, who doesn’t know who is who?
He did not compete with the opponent based on the logic proposed by Ronald, but changed his perspective:
"Item 5, Article 7 of the Caron Commercial Aviation Alliance, the Goblin airship shall regularly undergo annual airship reviews to test its safety, power, reliability, operability and navigation stability."
"Note 4: Goblin airships that do not have an annual inspection certificate are in principle prohibited from taking off and sailing."
"Note 11, if it is ultimately determined to be an illegal launch, all consequences and losses arising therefrom shall be borne by the captain!"
Three words made Captain Ronald's face completely darken.
Threats, clearly threatening him!
He regretted it.
If I had known earlier - it would be better to just let the airship be burned down!
The fire on the airship was put out in time.
Although many places were damaged by flames and explosions, the impact during the emergency landing severely damaged the bottom of the airship.
But the overall structure of the Golden Chao Po Feng is still there.
Originally, as long as Ronald could bring the [Elemental Core] back, he could apply for up to 80% of the flight accident insurance compensation.
The [Elemental Core] that ensures the operation of the machine structure on the airship is difficult to be destroyed by ordinary means.
Even if the entire airship is burned clean, the intact [Elemental Core] can still be dug out of the ashes.
Ronald wasn't worried about the pre-insurance review at first.
Goblins are good at exploiting all kinds of loopholes. As long as the operation method is correct, he can pay someone to leave a record of passing the audit in the airship annual review center.
Then submit an insurance claim application for a breakdown or accidental crash during the voyage!
In this way, he can get enough compensation so that Ronald can repair the airship or simply buy a new one!
But now that Hugo Seavey is watching, the situation immediately becomes different.
Dare to falsify records?
Report it once and you will be honest!
Ronald has no doubt that the other party will definitely do this!
As long as the price is enough, goblins even dare to sell their souls.
The most troublesome thing is the sentence in the clause that "the captain shall bear the losses caused by illegal launches."
Because the overall frame of the airship is still there, as long as you go up and take a look, you will find that it is obvious that this goblin airship cannot pass the annual inspection.
In other words, it broke the rules the moment it took off!
This was irrefutable evidence that Ronald couldn't cover up even if he wanted to.
If you take off illegally, the flight accident insurance will not compensate you even a copper penny.
Therefore, what Hugo Seavey really meant was:
"You want to cheat your insurance by forging records? You have to satisfy me first before I'm willing to turn a blind eye to your operation."
"Otherwise, if you report it, you won't get a penny."
It's clear that it's a threat.
There is no morality in gangster tactics.
But it works.
…
Ronald frantically pulled at the few sparse hairs on his head.
He had met his match!
Goblins like to take advantage of loopholes, but at the same time they also like contracts and clauses.
Usually, only airship captains would carefully study the thick "Airship Navigation Guidelines" of the Carron Commercial Aviation Alliance.
The wording of that thing is obscure, and it is also mixed with a lot of data, judgment criteria and other messy things. Counting various notes, details and exceptions, there are hundreds of clauses in total, and just reading it will make people dizzy.
In short, normal people will not read it at all!
Hugo Xiwei is not a normal person.
He is also a goblin.
Hugo has not only studied airship aviation guidelines.
I used to think that when he saved enough money, he would also buy an airship of his own, fly back and forth across the continent, looking for undiscovered potential business opportunities, and become the next Carron Lagan.
Of course.
The price of airships is very expensive. A brand new one costs thousands of gold coins, and a depreciated second-hand one costs hundreds of gold coins, and there is no stock yet!
At that time, Hugo was still a long way from saving enough for this goal.
So the details of the terms he had studied before had no chance to come in handy.
Until this moment, he used it to successfully catch Ronald's biggest and most fatal handle!
Ronald untied his purse dejectedly, and poured out a few scattered Reyak gold coins and a uniquely shaped slender key from it.
"Okay! Okay! Damn robber, wealth thief, may the gods curse you!"
"Tell me how much compensation you want, I'll go to Carron United Savings to withdraw money!"
Seeing Ronald drooping like a defeated rooster, Pete suddenly realized.
"Captain, you don't want the illegal launch to be known by the Carron Commercial Aviation Alliance, right?"
