Sasori, being a homebody, naturally wouldn't understand what a joint-stock system was.
After Yuuki's explanation, Sasori finally understood. Wasn't it still about putting in money?
He immediately waved his hand and pulled out a bankbook.
"This is my salary card from Konoha. I wonder how much of your'shares' it can buy?"
Yuuki took it and looked at the records. Not a single cent had been withdrawn. Then he looked at Sasori, who was covered in external equipment.
It seemed the Akatsuki Organization's benefits weren't bad!
"Hmm, one hundred and fifty million ryo, a bit little. But given our past relationship, I'll count it as a ten percent share for you!"
"No problem!"
Sasori didn't care about the amount, as long as he could buy it!
"Alright, Sasori-senpai, just to confirm again, you want all the profits to be used to purchase materials, right?"
"Yes!"
Sasori seemed very excited.
"Okay, then let's sign the contract!"
"Wait a minute!"
Kakuzu, who had been watching their interaction for a long time, couldn't hold back anymore.
When he learned that Sasori also wanted to become a Konoha partner, Kakuzu wished he could kill him, but thankfully Yuuki had refused.
And after Sasori took out his 150 million ryo work bankbook, Kakuzu looked at Sasori with the same expression he usually reserved for Hidan.
This guy must be an idiot!
He couldn't understand why Sasori would abandon a great job in Konoha to run back to a dead-end organization like the Akatsuki Organization.
And just as Sasori and Yuuki were about to sign the contract, Kakuzu finally realized something.
I'm going to have another boss above me?
Recalling what Yuuki said about the function of shares, Kakuzu didn't quite understand many parts.
But Kakuzu understood one thing: the job he currently had, after reaching the minimum, he would only get commission, and he still had to work.
Sasori, however, wouldn't have to do anything and would take a share of his profits.
Konoha providing the goods was the boss, so making money was natural. Sasori just put in some money. Why should he work for him!
Having understood this, Kakuzu also became interested in shares.
Facing the gazes of Yuuki and Sasori, Kakuzu immediately said,
"I want to buy those shares too! I'll take all the remaining ninety percent!"
Yuuki was truly fed up with Kakuzu's mysterious actions. How could Kakuzu, who was so cunning when it came to money, suddenly turn into a complete fool?
"Kakuzu-senpai, that's impossible. Konoha must be in the leading position. Don't even think about such things. You should just focus on developing the market!"
Kakuzu felt indignant about Yuuki's refusal.
Why could Sasori have shares but he couldn't? However, Yuuki's words also enlightened him, and he continued,
"Since Konoha needs to be in the lead, then Konoha gets sixty percent, Sasori gets ten percent, and the remaining thirty percent goes to me!"
Sigh!
With such core members, the Akatsuki Organization has a long and arduous journey ahead!
You're determined to give me money, aren't you!
Yuuki also figured out what was going on. Kakuzu wanted to suppress Sasori. That idea wasn't wrong, but he really just wanted to scam some money!
Even if Sasori didn't say anything in the Akatsuki Organization, Yuuki would still send him the materials through other channels. Now, it was truly just a simple scam for money.
But seeing Kakuzu's persistence, Yuuki reluctantly said,
"Two percent at most!"
Two percent didn't meet Kakuzu's expectations, but it was still more than Sasori's ten percent, so Kakuzu finally agreed.
Thus, the three of them re-signed the contract.
Yuuki received 150 million ryo from Sasori and 200 million ryo from Kakuzu.
It was only because Yuuki used the argument that Kakuzu was already a Konoha partner, one of their own, and was getting an internal price, that Kakuzu agreed.
It wasn't until the contract was signed, with everything clearly written in black and white, that Kakuzu finally relaxed.
The 100 million ryo previously given to Kakuzu returned to Yuuki's hands, and the large pile of money Kakuzu had gone out to retrieve felt very unsettling in Yuuki's hands.
Three large boxes in total, with one box even containing one hundred ryo banknotes.
Yuuki felt a sense of guilt, as if he had swindled a lonely old person's life savings!
Kakuzu certainly loved money more than life, but just like the lonely old people Yuuki knew in his previous life, which one didn't value money more than their life?
The reason he was deceived, even eager to give money, was probably due to a difference in perception!
He had been misled too much, making Kakuzu truly believe that money was so easy to earn.
However, Yuuki wasn't completely misleading Kakuzu. After all, if the market truly opened up, Kakuzu could indeed earn money, and a lot of it!
It's just that the process of opening this market might not be easy and would be filled with bloodshed.
Alas, he wished them both good luck and a prosperous future!
The ambitious Kakuzu and Sasori had already left without delay.
That's right, Sasori was also equally excited. After all, he didn't have a salary; only by earning money could Sasori get the materials he needed.
Unlike Kakuzu and Sasori, who set off with hope, Yuuki left the town with a feeling of absurdity and headed towards Konoha.
In a certain forest, a strange sound made Yuuki stop in his tracks.
"Do you not trust me? Placing so many pawns in the Akatsuki Organization!"
