Information about Data Recorder from Sausalito named Petrohol in Sausalito!.
Business Journal of Varus Soleptor
There is an Ara Shondu here to see you, sir.
Tell her I’m not here.
I’m right outside the door, Varus. I’ve come with a business proposal.
Tell her I’ve just returned. Time is money, my dear. You have five words or less to get my attention.
Okay, well, we have…
One word left.
Scrip.
You’ve done it. You’ve got my full attention.
We’ve discovered a large pocket of petrohol in Sausalito. Unfortunately, we do not have the funding to extract, refine and transport such a fuel source. Reluctantly. I turn to you.
Hmm. Of course. I would have to have complete ownership of the land, and 70% of all profit would go to Soleptor Enterprises.
There are settlers on that property. They’ll have no place to go. Surely, that is negotiable, nonsense.
Nonsense. There is no negotiation. That’s the beauty of this deal. You need me. So, I get richer.
Fine. I’ll sell the land and every drop of Petrohol to the Earth Republic.
Unacceptable.
Ok, you get the land, but we split profits 50/50. I’ll help the settlers.
Like I said, very fair. Deal!
