Section 42: Extortion
"The president of the Parsons Chamber of Commerce is coming to visit?" Harry's eyes rolled, and it seemed that his bet had alarmed the proprietor of the gambling game again, and it would be interesting to see what he was trying to do. (本拾?Κxs 文??) "Let him in." ”
Grigori walked into the living room, and he immediately recognized Kiru and Princess Senni in the arena, so the young man on the right who had a special temperament and dressed as a magician must be Harry.
"Grigory, the president of the Parsons Chamber of Commerce, has seen Her Royal Highness!" Although he had come to find Harry, he had to salute first because the princess was present.
"President Grigori is welcome, there is no Princess here. Talk to Harry about anything, even if we need to avoid it. Shanni smiled.
"Not necessarily! The old man is here mainly to talk to Master Harry about the gambling game. Grigory had already looked at Harry at this point, and when he heard what he meant, the other party didn't seem to react in particular.
"What is President Grigori going to talk about? Could it be that I have made too much bet for you to take it?" said Harry, slightly dissatisfied, he had lost a sum of gold coins last time due to the odds adjustment, and he was still very impressed by the cunning of the Parsons Chamber of Commerce.
"Not really, but Master Harry has made such a big bet, so this duel is already in doubt, right?" Grigory said cautiously.
"Hmph! You don't have to take my word for it. I'm a gambler by nature, as long as I have a chance of winning, I dare to gamble with all my net worth!" Harry was not fooled, and said leisurely: "If you want to take a reassuring pill with me, then you are wrong, I am not too sure about this battle!"
"The master doesn't have to be modest! In the battle of the gods and relics, Master Harry's strength is amazing, and the old man has heard of it. Grigory smirked, "It is said that magicians never covet things outside of their bodies, but Master Harry doesn't seem to be like it......"
Harry spread his hands and said helplessly, "Originally, I didn't want to participate in this gamble. My gold coins are not as abundant as your Parsons Chamber of Commerce, but they are still useful. It's just that something happened suddenly recently, and the money is relatively tight, so I made a desperate bet and gave it a go!"
"Even if I win the duel by chance, there is still a gap in this gold coin, and I want to use this mansion as collateral to borrow a few million gold coins from your bank, I wonder if President Grigory will be willing to give me a low interest?" Harry continued.
"Oh?" Grigory became interested, 3 million gold coins were not enough, what the hell did Harry want to do?"I wonder what Master Harry wants to do with such a large sum of gold?"
Perhaps sensing that his question was a bit rude, Grigory hurriedly explained, "You know, I'm a businessman, and if Master Harry wants to buy something, maybe I have some convenient channels here. If this matter is profitable, there is no need for the master to mortgage the mansion, and the gap in funds will be filled by the Chamber of Commerce. ”
Hearing that Harry was going to do something with a few millions, Grigory sensitively thought that it might bring some benefits to the Parsons Chamber of Commerce.
"If the Parsons Chamber of Commerce is willing to invest, then I am more than welcome!" Harry smiled, rolled his eyes, and continued, "If the Parsons Chamber of Commerce assists in this matter, it will be foolproof, and Princess Senny will be very happy." ”
"Your Royal Highness Princess?" Grigory was stunned, what does this matter have to do with the princess?
"If the Parsons Chamber of Commerce is willing to sponsor it, Princess Ben thanks President Grigori on behalf of the children of the Imperial Capital. "Shanny, too, is a clever man, and when Harry sobered up at this point, she bowed to Grigory.
"Hey...... Your Royal Highness the princess is polite!I don't know what the hell is going on?" Grigory hurriedly returned the salute, a cold sweat broke out on his forehead, he seemed to have fallen into Harry's trap, no wonder for no reason Harry revealed that he was in urgent need of funds, it turned out that he was waiting for himself to be in the trap! After receiving the princess's gift, he was afraid that he would have a heavy hemorrhage...... Let's hope I don't lose too much!
Grigory smiled bitterly, he should only spend money to buy a favor with the princess, many people want to buy it, but they may not buy it! He is usually quite shrewd, how can he suffer a secret loss when he meets this little magician? It seems that he only regards him as a strong master, and does not regard him as a business person equal to himself, but he does not want this kid to be extremely cunning, so he quietly uses the princess to trap himself in. But Grigori was also curious, what was it that needed such a large sum of money?
"Ahem!" Harry said, "Actually, Princess Shannie wants to suggest a school for the children of the Imperial Capital. Presumably, President Grigory also knew that the land in the imperial capital was expensive, and there were not a few children who needed to study, at least it should be able to accommodate 10,000 people. The Parsons Chamber of Commerce is strong, and I think such an investment must not be taken into account!"
Build a school for the common people? Grigory had a big problem in his mind, it was almost unprofitable to build a school, let alone a free school? It seemed that this time he was going to lose all his money! he knew why he bothered to bother himself! He was just curious about Harry, and wanted to come and make friends, but this time he did make friends, but it cost millions of gold coins.
Harry also seemed to see that Grigori was reluctant, which inevitably made the Parsons Chamber of Commerce feel that Shannie was oppressing them with the name of a princess, and he had to enlighten the unenlightened Chamber of Commerce president, otherwise it would be difficult for Shanny to do it in the future.
"President Grigori, if I am lucky enough to win this duel, then even the principal and victory should be more than 3 million, and this amount of money must be invested. Harry pinched his fingers to help Grigory start settling the accounts: "I'll hand over the 3 million gold coins to your chamber of commerce." The princess and I are both laymen in land and construction, but we are afraid that if we spend too much money, we may not be able to do things well! Parson Chamber of Commerce is an expert in this area, and the matter of buying land and building a school will be handled by your bank, and the cost will definitely be greatly saved, so in this way, in fact, the gap in funds is not too big. ”
Grigori nodded, the land of the imperial capital, the Parson Chamber of Commerce is also involved, if it is taken care of by the Chamber of Commerce, about more than 4 million gold coins can be done, and he probably only needs to take out more than 10,000 gold coins to complete the task. But even with so much gold, it still made Grigory feel distressed for a while.
"And the merit of President Grigori in building a school house for so many children is not small!" Harry suddenly asked mysteriously, "Does President Grigori believe in karma?"
"Karma?" Grigory didn't quite understand.
"The so-called good is rewarded with good, and evil is rewarded with evil, it is not that it is not repaid, the time has not yet come. Harry Langlang said, "There is a magic stick three feet up...... Forehead...... No, there are gods. ”
Grigory stared blankly at Harry, not understanding what he was trying to say.
"God said: In the vast heavens, there is reincarnation, and after death, people will inevitably fall into the six reincarnations and reincarnate. So all mortals have past lives, present lives, and future lives. Everything has a cause and there is an effect, and he who sows good causes will reap good results, and he who sows evil causes will reap evil results. The retribution of the cause of the previous life is in this life, this is the karmic effect, the retribution of the cause of this life is the retribution of this life, this is the retribution of the present life, and the retribution of the cause of this life is the retribution of the next life. ”
Harry pondered for a few minutes before he said, "President Grigori can have a lot of money in this life, and he must have accumulated a lot of virtue in his previous life. But in this life, as a businessman, you ask yourself, are the many things you do worthy of your conscience?"
Grigory had a cold sweat on his vest, he was able to establish the largest chamber of commerce in the empire, of course, he didn't dare to say that he had a clear conscience in everything, but for the sake of the chamber of commerce, he had to do it, he smiled awkwardly: "Master Harry said it was funny...... I am a serious businessman, and I act in accordance with the laws of the Empire, and I will never dare to make that black money. ”
"The law is just the rules of the world, and the cycle of heaven and karma are the basis for reincarnation. Harry made a look of a god stick and said solemnly, "If you don't plant good causes in this life, you will suffer evil retribution in the next life." Look at those who are missing arms and legs in this life, who are destitute, who have suffered disasters and who have a short life, don't look at them because they have not done any evil in this life, because they have planted too many evil causes in their previous lives. If they do good deeds in this life, who says they won't be like President Grigory in the next?"
The way of hell, especially the oil pot hell involving bullying and maliciously seeking money, the volcanic hell of bribery and bribery, and the knife and saw hell of unfair trading, made Grigory tremble and sweat profusely when he heard it.
The people of this continent are not atheists in the first place, but they have not yet produced a complete theology such as Buddhism and Taoism. Harry's expression was in place, and the Buddhist theory of karma and the eighteen layers of hell was complete, and at first glance, Grigori couldn't help but believe it. If Harry had come up with this gushing Buddhist theory to fool him temporarily, he wouldn't have believed it if he had killed Grigoli!
If Harry hadn't listened to him, many things would have been done. The helmsman of a dignified chamber of commerce, this courage is still there. But today, after listening to Harry's words, Grigory felt like a man on his back, and he fidgeted, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he thought about what he had done, and his heart couldn't stop worrying.
But who can not make mistakes in life? Therefore, it is not impossible to make up for what has been wrong. Harry's words changed sharply, and Grigley seemed to see a glimmer of light. "If a bad cause is offset by a very good cause, then there will be no retribution for that evil cause in the next life. If the good causes exceed the evil causes by a hundredfold, then in the next life there will be only good retribution and no evil consequences. Those who are good may be able to get the retribution of the world!"
"Master Harry, I see! The task of building the school building is up to the Chamber of Commerce. Grigori wiped the sweat from his forehead, although he was still a little skeptical of Harry's words, but he was ready to agree to it, after listening to Harry's words, he just wanted to do his best to do this good deed properly, and accumulate good results for himself, so that he would not be punished in the next life, and it did not matter whether he would be rewarded in this life or not. It's better to believe it than to believe it, but with millions of gold coins, it's worth it to buy yourself with peace of mind. What's more, the princess's favor can be left behind.
