To the esteemed Hogosha businessmen,

I would like to open up first by saying that we do not mean to intrude onto your playing field, with that said, I came here to enquire about your trademark business that is the artefact trade.

It comes to no surprise to anyone that the source of artefacts originate from the mighty Corsair Empire - the Cretans are practically sitting on a goldmine of objet d'arts. But what you may or may not know already is that a new source of alien artefacts were discovered in Omicron Xi - inside the atmosphere of Planet Knossos.

These Xeno Relics are quite different from the ones Sirius knows, our research teams relay that they were crafted by a different artisan - meaning - they're thematically different from the usual multi-faceted hedrons. Concurrently we've no idea if they have any value other than being decor in glassware, but the rich in Gallia seem to have taken a rather peculiar interest to them.

We've contacted the government to acquire a permit to haul these enigmatic jewels and Mr. Nagao - Chief of Commerce & Economy - has directed us to you in fear that we mayhaps enroach into your business-model.

Ile-de-France Shipping eagerly awaits a cordial response from you.

The Nikkyo Consortium

I bid you a good day, Mizushima-san.

Allow me to introduce myself briefly, before we will proceed to business talks. I am Masaru Sera, President of the Nikkyo Consortium and first Spokesman of the Hogosha Alliance, an alliance of several Syndicates pursuing to form a strong front against intruding forces, may it be the Outcasts or business rivals.

Ile-de-France Shipping was wise to contact the Government and now contact us about this matter, as ignoring our standpoint would have had severe consequences.
Now, Ile-de-France Shipping might be just what we need though. As you, a Kusarian working in a Gallic firm, certainly noticed, the Gallic people can be extremely wary towards outsiders, similar to us. This led to issues with the promotion of Artifacts within Gallia at first, seeing IDF wish to haul and promote their sale in Gallia could function as a door-opener to us. Once the good people of Gallia realized their aesthetic value, presented to them by their own people, it will be easier to re-initiate our agenda at a later point.

Naturally, from a business perspective, we cannot allow Ile-de-France to mindlessly flood the market and cause a crash before any of us both managed to truly benefit from the wealthy's interest. In order to avoid this, we would like to propose Ile-de-France a small plan:

The Hogosha Alliance will transfer additional workforce to the Luxury Liner Hawaii, Ile-de-France shipments coming from Corsair space carrying Artifacts of any sorts are asked to dock there and let our workers assist you in evaluating each Artifacts value. Additionally, our workers can provide custom made display cases, which can easily double an Artifacts value.
Less valuable Artifacts could be sold on a market aiming at the Gallic middle-class for example.
We have specialists for this tasks, so it will not be very time consuming. This measure will assist you in marketing Artifacts more efficiently.
Ile-de-France Shipping accepts to pay a monthly fee of 120.000.000 credits to the Hogosha Alliance for our expertise and willingness to permit outsiders to take a stake in the rather new market of Gallia.
The Hogosha Alliance will aid Ile-de-France Shipping merchant vessels throughout Kusari and its bordering worlds against criminal entities. This service is included in the fee above.
This business deal is a trial and would start on the 01/07/827. The trial phase ends on the 01/10/827. A new, possibly more permanent agreement shall be reached after this trial phase.

With best regards,

- Masaru Sera, President of the Nikkyo Consortium, Spokesman of the Hogosha Alliance

Konbanwa, esteemed Consortium,

Allow me first to repute your rather swift response, to be frank I wasn't expecting such a hasty and amicable acknowledgement, nevertheless, arigatou gozaimasu.

Onto the matter at hand, we are not surprised that you'd wish to tax us for stepping in, as businessmen it is within our nature to lay claim to what is ours and deter gaijin from infringing local monopolies.

Ile-de-France shipping recognizes your agreement to be adequate given the circumstances and will comply to the clauses stated in your memo.
As a gesture of good-will I can tell you that the residents of Fontainebleau in the Ile-de-France system, will appreciate the new avenue of Sorted Artifacts and will pay a hefty sum for them - should you wish to initiate trans-house trade. As for concerns for the law - fret not - Ile-de-France shipping will do its best to assure you will pass unhindered, it will only be fair.

Although, one issue does emerge from your final clause. The company has sent its request to the government roughly four weeks ago, and only recently has gotten a response. I'm sure you've heard of the popular catchphrase in economics - "Time is money" - and as such we wish to prematurely initiate the agreement starting from the moment we send over the credits, rather than the stated date. We will compensate for this by chipping in an additional fourty-million sirian credits.

Please provide a bank account to which we can wire the payment to.

By the way, hope you got fine selection of cases, the gauls prefer Jade & Quartz coloured accents.

to greener pastures,
Joshua Mizushima,

The Nikkyo Consortium

Konbanwa, Mizushima-san.

We are glad to see Ile-de-France Shipping deem our proposal acceptable.
The issue pointed out by your side is fully understandable, the period of one week was chosen in order to give our Government enough time to permit your license, but it seems we just have to pull some of our political strings to speed this up a little then.

The deal will become valid with the first payment then. The credits are to be wired to the following neuralnet account: <|>Sera-Nk

With best regards and in hope of a fruitful cooperation,

- Masaru Sera, President of the Nikkyo Consortium, Spokesman of the Hogosha Alliance

Konbanwa again, Sera-san,

Once again, your swiftness is duly appreciated.
