Pokemon: Master of tactics

Chapter 356: Pokemon master of tactics: Chapter 356

After 5 minutes, Alex and Steven had both agreed on a percentage.

Steven will get 25% of the profits, for finding customers and selling the S-rank Pokemon.

Although Steven himself feels that 1/4 of the income is too much, Alex was very stubborn in it, not to lower this share any further.

Alex didn't want to take advantage of Steven's friendship and he want to give Steven a reasonable share.

Steven may not have to work much for his share, but his contribution is not small.

Although he sees it a little differently.

Steven looked at Alex with a hesitant expression. "Alex, That's a bit too much. I hardly have a job but I get paid so much for it. You don't have to give me so much just because I'm your friend.

Alex showed a tired expression as he said, "Ohh my Arceus. don't you really understand why you're getting so much? I'm not giving you too much and probably even a bit too little. You should complain that I'm giving you too little."

Steven gave a doubtful expression as he said, "too little?...are you stupid?"

Alex's eye started to twitch slightly when he heard that. "... I'm stupid Ahh? ... YOU ARE STUPID. do you know how many advantages partnering with you brings me? I can name you without even thinking about it 5 big advantages."

Without giving Steven a chance, Alex started voicing these 5 advantages.

"1: Your good relationship with many wealthy households, makes it much easier to quickly sell a small number of S-rank Pokemon. You should understand that it is not easy to find customers for S-rank Pokemon."

"2: Due to the size of your (future) company, you give the customers security, that hardly any other salesman can offer. It is very unlikely that you would damage the reputation of your company for a relatively big profit. " (It is unlikely that he would lie about the potential of the Pokemon or sell Pokemon that are very difficult to control.)

"3: Because of point 2, you can even sell these S-rank Pokemon for a higher price than other less reliable sellers. Similar high amounts as the annual auction of the Alliance."

"4: Because of Devon Corporation's size, it's less suspicious to sell a handful of S-rank Pokemon on an irregular basis. The Alliance and other companies would just think that Devon Corporation was testing whether they could make a profit with this business strategy and think nothing more."

"5: I trust you not to betray me for money. I am a very suspicious person and cannot trust another businessman. You should know that trust is very important for a good long-term partnership. "

Alex looked at Steven as he said, "Is that enough?"

Steven was momentarily speechless that Alex could name 5 reasons so quickly. Mainly because the logic of these 5 reasons is very difficult to refute.

"...Alex, your reasons are very good... But you didn't just think of that within seconds."

Alex flashed a smile as he said, "Well, what did you expect? Do you think I would give away such a large amount of profit without realizing the benefit of this partnership?"

Steven just shook his head as he said, "But, you bring an advantage to this partnership that no other person in this world can bring. Having the method of figuring out which A-rank Pokemon can easily reach the S-rank. Only you can do that ...or maybe a few legendary Pokemon can do that too. But I can't probably do any business with these Pokemon, can I?"

Alex understood why Steven is so reluctant to take so much. His ability is really special and unique.

He showed a calm expression. "That's why I take 75% of the income. Both parties bring important advantages."

Steven started to nod with these words. On this point, he could agree with Alex.

"Ok, let's talk about how long it will take you to get those 20 S-rank Pokemon ready."

Alex showed a thoughtful expression, "Hard to say. But it shouldn't take more than 2 weeks. Though it will probably take me 1 week to find the suitable A-rank Pokemon on the black market."

Steven nodded when he said, "Ok when you're done with that you can train these Pokemon here."

Alex flashed a smile, "Sounds good. I think I'll start right away. see you in a week."

....

One week later.

If he's anyways going to visit all of Hoenn's black market places, Alex doesn't want to waste the chance to make a little extra money on the side.

It didn't take Alex a week to visit every major black market in Hoenn, and it only took that long because Alex, took his time and bought all the A-rank Pokemon he could find. At the same time, he sold all A-rank Pokemon with Silver and Deep Silver potential using his old method. He also sold Deep Silver Pokemon with no evolution, or Pokemon with evolution with a high condition.

He sold 260 A-rank Pokemon and made about 13.5 million Pokedollars after all deductions. Unfortunately, Alex didn't find an S-rank Pokemon or his profit would be much higher.

Although this amount is very high for most elite trainers, it is no longer a large sum for Alex.

Especially because in two weeks he will earn a multiple of that.
