Konnichiwa representatives of the Renzu Corporation.
It has come to our attention recently that your ship manufacturing capabilities have been increasing in quality nicely. Certainly not as nice as, say, Samura, but you are growing to be a worthy competitor in the civilian Freighter market.
This brings me to my point here. It is only in the Freighter market that we really meet, as Renzu seems to focus on the civilian fighter market, whereas Samura is into the larger ship building market. This present a problem for us at times.
You see, while we are quite capable of using the very common Eagle standard to manufacture ships for our escorts, in most cases, it is cost prohibitive. Building them disallows us from working on the more profitable ships and they tend to run in small numbers. Speaking with our accountants, the overall costs would thus be less, both manufacturing and insurance, if we were to outsource and purchase prefabricated ships elsewhere.
Thus, we would like to extend an offer to the Renzu Corporation. Samura Heavy Industries is willing to purchase a number of your Wasupu Class, Touketsu Class, and Ki Class Fighters for use in corporate security. We should be willing to pay nicely, obviously, as well as selling you several of our Akegata class Container Transports at production cost to move the parts necessary for manufacture of your ships. Our Big Dragon or Ryuujin Class transports may also be an option depending on your needs.
Thank you. I do hope business may blossom between our two organizations.

Well Konnichiwa, Samura representative!
I hope this isn't another ploy to buy out Renzu for your own evil purposes! *giggles*
If it isn't, then Hai! I think we can happily arrange something! The Renzu shipwrights and happiness concern would be willing to sell an initial package of ships to Samura for evaluation purposes. A Half-dozen of the Wasupu, Toeketsu, and Ki as an initial offer.
Now, these ships are sold at Roppongi station in the cases of the Ki and Toeketsu. The Wasupu is available at our shops on Planet Honshu. We can also provide upgrade packages and after-market add-ons for you to experiment with in your travels!
And even more! We can provide a lifetime warranty for all Renzu products purchased by your fine company!
I hope <strike>this isn't a trick!</strike> that business proves fruitful between us. Really, we should put aside all of this corporate competition nonsense and get back to dispensing love and happiness to the far corners of Sirius!
No, no, any attempts to purchase the Renzu Corporation would not come from my office. In fact, I am sure the memo would come from Mr Samura himself.
That is great to hear. Warranties are always good with all the Dragons swooping in with their fighters and all. We will need some with the extra comfortable seats for the more senior members of our staff, as far as add-ons go.
I am not sure about all this love and happiness, but as we generally aren't in direct competition, I would agree that we could set aside such feelings.
Do you need any of our Transport class ships to ship your various components around then? We can add them as a standing order to sell at cost if so.
