Chapter 14: Shrewdness
Haraus? Hubble, the lord of Dadan City, actually looks very similar to his younger brother, about five points similar, and now they are all gray-haired, but they all walk and sit in a straight and imposing manner, and they look like a standard soldier. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
It's just that one of them seems to know that he is a standard knight, and the other is a city lord or leader who has been in the top position for a long time.
However, no matter which one it is, ordinary people will see it and a sense of respect will rise from the bottom of their hearts.
These two old men, in addition to their titles, are also very remarkable in themselves.
This is the conclusion that Ye Yu came to after seeing Klaus and Haraus in front of him.
"Lord who has seen me." Ye Yu bowed, and Klaus behind him also made a knightly salute.
Haraus? Hubble smiled kindly, looked at Ye Yu and said, "Sit down, kid." Klaus, you step down for now. ”
Klaus nodded, then stepped back.
And at this time, Ye Yu is also in Harlaus? Hubble sat down across from him, and this time he didn't look out of the ordinary.
is the weak and melancholy, chic and elegant appearance.
"I didn't expect you to actually accomplish that. It's incredible. Your wisdom is beyond my imagination, child. Haraus said with a smile, with a kind of kindness that is characteristic of fathers looking at their children.
Ye Yu smiled slightly, did not answer, and did not express any humility. Just silently looked at Haraus.
Haraus wiped his snow-white beard and said, "Can't you keep a little aristocratic greeting or courtesy?" ”
"As you can see, I'm just a thief, I care more about my rewards and rewards, and I don't know any aristocratic etiquette, and I'm afraid that the nondescript etiquette will collide with the city lord, so won't the gain outweigh the loss in the end?"
Although the words are frank and direct, Ye Yu's expression is very gentle and elegant, and he really looks like such a nobleman.
Even such straightforward words do not cause unpleasantness.
"Okay, then I'll go back to the identity of "just a drunkard father", you kid is really capable, my two stubborn sons have been subdued for you. Haraus put away his kind look, and then took a sip of wine from a wine glass, and wiped his neck by the way, without the appearance of a nobleman, or even a city lord.
Ye Yu still didn't speak, just looked at Haraus? Hubble.
"Well, according to the agreement, I will pay you 10,000 gold coins and any of my collections. Trust me, boy, my collection is among the best in the world. Haraus took another long sip of wine, then threw the empty glass out, picked up the golden flask that had been placed aside, and drank it in his arms.
As soon as these words came out, Ye Yu felt that his punch with all his strength had hit the air.
Originally, I thought that this Haraus city lord would use some aristocratic diplomatic rhetoric to quietly deduct the reward, you know, as a nobleman, there must be a subconscious cognition in his cognition, it is natural for commoners to give them wealth, and it is very abnormal for commoners to ask them to give wealth. If you honestly give the civilians the amount they want, it is an insult to yourself.
In short, it is a kind of greedy psychology and a kind of arrogant psychology.
At that time, when Klaus came to invite him in the cell, he was ready to argue fiercely with the noble lord in order to get his share of the wealth.
But, not to be expected, Klaus? Hubble, the lord of Dadan City, gave his promise so easily, and it was the final promise, when the ordinary nobles said the four words according to the agreement, they generally would not regret it, no matter whether the reward that followed was more, the same or less, or much less and much, much less, and much less, it would not change.
Unless you use more force than the task to get him to change his mind.
In general, you can't change it.
This can be said to be the last link of the task, this link is easy to say, difficult to say, the key is how much you want to be paid, and whether you meet a noble lord who keeps his promises above all else.
Obviously, Ye Yu met a noble lord who kept his promises above all else, that is, a noble nobleman as the saying goes, and the difficulty of asking for wages was super simple.
Of course, Ye Yu is not greedy, no matter how difficult the previous task was or how many thrills he was in, it didn't matter. All he had to do was pay what he had agreed upon.
In other words, he is one of the nobler thieves.
A thief who keeps his promises.
A thief who has always kept his promises.
"So, can you tell me the whole story? I'm curious, and in just seven days, you've solved the problem that has been bothering me for years. To be honest, I was very shocked, and my first reaction when I heard the news was not joy, but shock, and for this, I drank ten jugs of wine to suppress the shock in my heart. Harlaus took a long sip of his wine and said.
Ten pots of wine crush the shock......
Ye Yu was a little speechless, this guy is definitely an alcoholic.
Hopelessly drunkard.
Ye Yu sighed and said, "Do you have to say it." ”
At this moment, the weak, hesitant, chic and elegant temperament on his body has slowly faded, and the current Ye Yu looks very ordinary.
Not even the previous jump.
It's ordinary, just like a random civilian on the street.
What answered Ye Yu was Harlaus's expression of "If you don't let me know, I won't give you money".
"Where do you want to start?" Ye Yu said helplessly.
This Haraus is not easy to deal with, and under the appearance of a seemingly drunkard, Ye Yu can see a kind of shrewdness unique to a superior.
Different from the shrewdness of a businessman.
The shrewdness of a businessman lies in profit, and finally in wealth.
The shrewdness of the superior is far more than that, and both may pay great attention to some of the same things, but the ultimate goal is completely different.
As I said earlier, a businessman's ultimate is wealth, whether it is money or precious stones, in the end, they are all things with definite value.
In other words, the ultimate goal of a businessman is to make his life better.
And the shrewdness of the superiors, the benefits of the superiors, are more distant things, something that allows them to "weigh", something that allows them to "choose". In other words, something that allows them to be used as a basis for "weighing" and "choosing".
And their "trade-offs" and "choices" are a means not to "lose" what they "have".
This "already has" essentially contains wealth.
Therefore, the shrewdness of the superior does not want wealth, but things that contain wealth or even more, and many of these things are things that are in line with human "nature" beyond money and wealth.
Otherwise, the three glittering words of the superior are the same as the two words of businessman, wouldn't it be too boring.
Ye Yu looked at Haraus, and Harlaus looked at Ye Yu.
Then Harlaus poured Ye Yu a glass of wine and said, "Of course, I wanted to know from the beginning. ”
Yes, one of the most important links in what the superior wants wisely.
Knowledge, or intelligence, or methods.
This Haraus is really a shrewd old fox who is proficient in the upper echelons!
Ye Yu's face did not change, but secretly, his mouth had twitched.
At the beginning, this old boy was going to take the most precious thing!
This guy, compared to his two sons, who didn't even inherit a tenth of his talents.
The talent of the superior!
This deal is to be reconsidered!
