Business Troubles

[Apollyon]

Hutt Prospect Azzo Saretti has been seeking a steady form of income, because of this Azzo has begun hunting properties in the lower slums of Nar Shaddaa. Which led him to discover a small cantina which was barely breaking even on it's bills and was obviously about to go bankrupt. Azzo had previously worked out a deal with the owner to pay ten thousand credits for the establishment and allow the man to collect all the credits in the register and safe before signing over the business to him. However, the man began digging and uncovered Azzo's ties to the Hutt Cartel and got greedy demanding one hundred thousand credits with all the money and product establishment. Azzo dislikes scum who screw him over, as such he has begun searching for a sponsor inside the Hutt Cartel to aid him in "convincing" the business owner to sign over the cantina on his terms.

This will be a two part thread consisting of "purchasing" the Cantina from the businessman and then protecting the Cantina from his retaliation. I am only accepting one other person to write alongside Azzo, and as Hurricane Matt has asked me this person MUST be of Enforcer rank or higher. As repayment for aiding Azzo in taking over the Cantina Azzo will pay them 25% of the Cantina's income per month. (The Cantina will make 10,000 Credits per month through alcohol sales and gambling debts. One real life week will equal one month in game, so the character who helps out will earn 2,500 Credits per week without having to do anything!)​

Mission Name: Business Troubles: Sign Over the Goods
Location: Nar Shaddaa
Details: Azzo Saretti and associate must force the Cantina owner to sign the business and property title over to him on his terms. The Business owner WILL resist violently and has hired some local thugs, however the owner MUSTN'T be killed, injury to the owner is acceptable though. Also, Azzo would prefer the interior of the Cantina to receive as little damage as possible as he doesn't want to pay for refurbishments, any interior damage caused by the associate will be taken out of their first month's pay as reparation.
Participants: Azzo Saretti, 1 Hutt Enforcer or Hutt Captain, 1 NPCER
Additional Notes: The Primary objective is obtaining the Business license and property title/deed, this can be done through a forger should the Owner die in the ensuing violence. However, Azzo would prefer everything to be "legitimate" in the exchange of ownership, so execution of the Business Owner is to be used only as a Last Resort.

Mission Name: Business Troubles: The Big Bad Retaliation
Location: Nar Shaddaa
Details: Once the business has been signed over to Azzo Saretti the owner (or a relative if he was executed) has organized a retaliation against Azzo's methods of taking the business. As such both Azzo and his partner (character from previous thread) must defend their business from the scum that threatens to destroy the small business they worked so hard to obtain. The forces they face are roughly fifteen thugs armed with primarily light blaster weaponry and makeshift melee ranged weapons, eliminate them all and show why no one messes with Cartel protected establishments.
Participants: Azzo Saretti, Business Partner (Character from previous thread), 1 NPCER
Additional Notes: Once again, Azzo would prefer no internal damage to occur, however if any damage does occur he will not charge reparations, unless the cantina is destroyed, prevent this from happening at all costs.​

This business opportunity was approved by Hurricane Matt with the understanding that Azzo will be sharing profits with the sponsor that joins him and the Cantina remains a small establishment until he has reached Enforcer rank. The conversation is found here.

 

[Wit]

Signing up Edmund Veidt as your business partner. :)

 

[Apollyon]

Aight! I will work the first thread for the pair shortly!

 

[Apollyon]

Unfortunately Wit's character is starting as a Prospect, while I am sure Azzo and Edmund will meet at a later date his character cannot help Azzo as he doesn't meet the required rank standard, as such I am still searching for an Enforcer or Captain.

 

[Wit]

I really wanted to do this! :CCry1

Damn you cruel, cruel world!


Ohhhh, wait what if Edmund participates in the thread as a representative for a Captain? That would meet Matty's requirements right?

 

[Apollyon]

Nah, it has to be a Captain or a Enforcer.

 

[Just Matt Now]

Since Wit is on the Hutt saff, and SHOULD have had an Enforcer (frikken Thor), I'll allow you two to partner up. Though a portion of ownership goes to the Cartel, aka Vero.

 

[Nor'baal]

Would Nor'baal be allowed in on this, even if just as hired muscle?

 

[Just Matt Now]

Yeah well Norbs is an Enforcer!

 

[Nor'baal]

Awesomeness! That would be good!

 

[Apollyon]

Norby I am working on our thread tonight. Might take me a few days to have it up as I am working on replies but it will be up within the week! Let's get the foundations for Azzo's eventual empire underway!

 

[Nor'baal]

Oky doky! Let me know when we are good to go!

 

[Apollyon]

Rebooting this, anyone wanna sponsor Azzo?

 

[Insoulent]

Wait a few days, a week at most. I think Elohim/Arkantos should be an Enforcer by then. I'd be glad to help out and buy-in, maybe even expand the business a bit afterwards? Wineries, transport and more Cantina buy-outs? Maybe even racketeering and extortion?

EDIT: Of course if you get help before then, I won't hold it against you to drop me as an aid.

 

[Apollyon]

Until I actually have Azzo has an Enforcer there won't be any expansions, that was the term I agreed to with Hurricane Matt.

 

[Insoulent]

Fair enough on the expansion, but I meant if you would like, I would like to diversify Saretti's business ventures. If you catch my drift, to benefit his business. Also get to work with him and to Enforcer, 'cause we certainly will need the credits and expansion.

 

[Apollyon]

I am going to start rping him again once these thread have been accomplished then I have an idea for his business expansions. I can pm you details if you would like.

 

[Nor'baal]

Still down for it :D

It doesn't matter what you think! [The Rock anyone?]

Why does it matter if you're an Enforcer? If you got some cash or can help out, and want to, then go right ahead.
