68 Although, but
Seeing Lilu crying with pear blossoms and rain, even though Kenshin-chan and Ayagozen and the others knew that it was this person just now, and this mouth deceived them with clever words, they still felt that their reaction was a little excessive.
After all, when it comes to businessmen, it gives people the impression that they are calculating and doing everything to make money, and in comparison, what this cute Nanban girl does is not really so unacceptable.
Not...... Tears are the most powerful weapon for women, especially cute girls, and they are not only very useful for different surnames, but also very effective for people with the same surname.
"That...... Chu Xuan, why don't you forget it? β
Ayazen, who was previously the focus of Lilu's key research projects, was particularly fond of this playful and cute, Nanban girl who was more like a "sister" than Kenshin-chan, the mixed-race female ninja Haru, and the black long straight Lori Naoe Kane, who was the first to waver under her tear offensive.
The others present sat down again because Ayagozen had spoken, so they pushed the boat back down.
Because she knew that tears had no effect on Chu Xuan, or could only play the opposite role, Lilu immediately wiped away her tears "strongly", quickly stabilized her emotions, and said to Chu Xuan seriously and sincerely:
"Chu Xuan, please give me a chance.
Though...... It may not be convincing to say this right now, but it is the norm that all Nanban merchants must abide by to use all means to gain their own interests as much as possible before reaching an agreement, and to faithfully fulfill their obligations under the agreement even if they lose all their money after reaching an agreement.
Therefore, as long as we sign the contract according to the concept of 'win-win', I will act in strict accordance with the requirements of the contract, and I will never embezzle the part of the profits you deserve!" β
Although I don't know if Chu Xuanxiang doesn't believe Lilu's words, anyway, Qianxin-chan and Aya Yuzen and others believe it, and Louise, the Nanban nun who introduced Qianxin-chan to Lilu, believes it, probably Lilu herself believes it...... And rightfully so.
And Louise also helped Lilu to say good things, making her swear in the name of the Virgin Mary that she would keep her promise.
However, Chu Xuan still didn't seem to have any intention of relenting - although from his always expressionless poker face, there was no indication of his thoughts at all.
"Dutchman...... In the Netherlands, is the Virgin Mary also worshipped? β
After Lilu knelt very formally in front of the divine giant ~ milk nun Louise and swore a gambling curse, Chu Xuan slowly spit out such a sentence, which made a layer of cold sweat break out on both Lilu and Louise's foreheads.
It seems that this "scholar" who is said to be from China is really not Gai, he even knows the name of the Dutch Reading Force before, and he seems to know the local religious beliefs very well, I really don't know how he learned about these news.
However, this time Lilu and Louise did not lieβand the devout nun Louise would not help Lilu lie, they were simply surprised by Chu Xuan's knowledge.
"Although there are Dutch people who are Protestant, I still follow the old religion."
Lilu nodded solemnly, the expression on her face was very reverent.
Although she wouldn't lie about her beliefs, in order to make Chu Xuan believe, she also specially added:
"After all, most of the European ...... encountered at sea That is, the southern barbarians, all from countries that believe in the old religion. β
It seems that Lilu also quickly figured out Chu Xuan's temper, her communication skills are really amazing, no wonder she was able to do business from Northern Europe to the Far East within a few years.
"Although I know that the so-called 'merchant's rules', even faith cannot stop the businessman's heart from pursuing profits, or some businessmen really believe in money, they have been immersed in the original sin of 'greed' and cannot extricate themselves......"
Chu Xuan pretended to be there expressionlessly, and let Lilu raise her heart in her throat for a while before she said lightly:
"But, I believe in you.
Not because of your oath, but because I believe in you as a person, a real, pure businessman. β
"Whew~"
Lilu can finally let go of the heart she raised, although she is a "military general", her physical fitness is very strong, but while she is relieved, she immediately feels that all the strength in her body has been withdrawn, and she slumps on the ground softly.
"Great, Lilu.
But henceforth remember the teachings of the Lord, and do not deceive...... Also try not to rely on concealment to make money.
Remember, Mary is watching you all the time. β
At this time, the giant~ nun Louise came over to congratulate Lilu again and told her seriously.
However, Louise was not the kind of ascetic who spent years in a monastery or other place, ignorant of the world, and she knew that if she were to let the merchants take the initiative to give up the huge profits that should have belonged to her, they would undoubtedly push them to the side of the devil, so she could only relax her demands a little.
In fact, the same is true of the Harumai Shrine, if the local daimyo are forced to set various rules that are conducive to world peace, then it will definitely be unanimously resisted by all the daimyos, so they can only turn a blind eye many times.
After all, it had been a long time since the gods had shown humanity their awe-inspiring powers, and it was even so long ago that one wondered if the supreme power of the gods really existed in the myths and legends that had been handed down before.
Even the "will of the gods" is not invented by the shrine maidens or nuns who serve the gods?
Anyway, except for special people, other people, including most military generals, can't hear the voice of the gods, so naturally there is no way to know whether those "special people" have really received the will of the gods.
It was clear that the person who believed in her was Chu Xuan, but Lilu listened carefully to Sister Louise's teachings with a grateful face, and then gave her gratitude to their Virgin Mary.
However, Chu Xuan is very broad-minded, and of course he won't care about these trivial things.
After these two beautiful girls finally thanked their master, Chu Xuan pushed down his reflective glasses expressionlessly, and said lightly:
"As much as I am sure that you will not steal profits, I do not intend to grant you the agency of all commodities in the South, that is, in India, the Middle East, Africa, Europe, and the New World.
I believe you should have no objection to this. (To be continued.) )
