Chapter 139: Negotiation

Count Pothos and the priest did come to deliver the money, and Count Pothos was followed by dozens of strong laborers carrying heavy boxes, and the boxes prepared by the priest were not much less than those prepared by Count Pothos.

When Qi Lin saw the two of them in the living room, the two of them were chatting happily with each other.

"Yo, Pastor Matteo Ricci, the diocesan has actually sent you here!" Compared to Count Pothos, Matteo Ricci, a priest who helped him in his poor times, had a higher status in Qi Lin's heart, so he was the first to greet him after entering the door.

Matteo Ricci smiled gently, pointed to a long box behind him, and said, "At the request of the diocese, I came to discuss business with you, but I didn't expect you to really be able to make the Pope relax and let the Holy Church help you sell silk." ”

Thinking of the unreliable Pope of the Holy Sect, a smile tugged at the corner of Qi Lin's mouth, and then he directly took out a silk horse from the space and handed it to Matteo Ricci and said: "This matter is good for both of us, and clothing, food, housing and transportation rank first in clothing, food, housing and transportation, and adding a clothing option for ordinary people is also my contribution to this world." ”

Matteo Ricci took the silk, looked at it, and then pointed directly to the money box behind him and said: "This is all the working capital of the church, a total of 170,000 gold coins, since it is an order issued by the Pope, we will pay first, and when your goods are ready, they will be delivered directly to the church." ”

Qi Lin couldn't have imagined that the Holy Sect was so decisive, and even so decisive that he didn't even ask about the price, type and style of silk, and directly gave money to Qi Lin to deliver it casually.

Originally, when he met Matteo Ricci, Qi Lin thought that the diocese had sent him to make it easier to take advantage of the previous favors to bargain, but he didn't expect that the Holy Sect would do this business.

Seeing Qi Lin's surprised look, Matteo Ricci also smiled and explained.

"Although the Pope said to let the Holy Sect help you sell silk, in fact, this matter is still the Pope's reward for you in the final analysis, after all, going deep into the Black Forest is not a trivial matter, so you should be rewarded, this money is given to you, even if you only send a silk horse, our church will admit it. ”

Hearing Matteo Ricci's explanation, Qi Lin secretly cursed in his heart that the church's top brass was definitely a group of old foxes.

Their move of retreating is really beautiful, and since the Pope issued the Pope's order, it is impossible for them to refuse to act as Qi Lin's dealers.

Therefore, if this matter is really negotiated as a business, they who have already figured out the bottom line, will not let Qi Lin ask for a price when the time comes.

And now, the people have moved the money directly, stating that this is the task reward given to him by the Pope, and letting Qi Lin provide goods at will, which is equivalent to letting Qi Lin speculate on the bottom line of others.

If Qi Lin does too much, the Holy Sect will not be able to reap any benefits, or if the benefits are too small, then in the future, the remuneration will be directly distributed, and the cooperation will be stopped.

In this way, Qi Lin must let the Holy Sect also get enough profits or benefits so that they can cooperate better in the future, and how much this benefit is, Qi Lin also needs to think about it.

Seeing Qi Lin fall silent, Matteo Ricci smiled lightly, although he was just an ordinary priest, but he was knowledgeable in the world, and at his age, he could naturally see the meaning of the high-level of the Holy Sect.

"Now that the money has arrived, I'll go first!"

Matteo Ricci didn't stay longer after sending the money, and after saying hello to Count Pothos, he left directly with someone.

Looking at Qi Lin, who was still pensive, Count Luthos smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, don't think about it, it's time to talk about our affairs." ”

Qi Lin glanced at the earl, sat on the chair and pulled out two clouds of sunlight directly from the space.

"That's all, I'll have two more regiments before I leave in two days. ”

Count Pothos took the sunshine directly, feeling the expectation of his pothos belt for the sunshine, he said with a smile: "It's okay, it's enough." ”

Then he motioned for his subordinates to carry a few boxes first, and then took out a pothos vine more than two meters long from his bosom.

"I've been busy for the past few days, and I haven't had time to come to you, but this time I just brought you the reward I promised you. ”

He now handed the pothos vine to Qi Lin and said: "This is a twenty-year-old pothos vine, don't look down on it, but it is indeed derived from our ancestral load, although it is not as strong as Zuluo, but the potential is infinite, if it is cultivated well, it is not impossible to grow to the extent of Zuluo in the future." ”

"Of course, you can also use it directly, you only need to pour blood on it, you can establish a connection with the person with blood, once the connection is established, it can allow an ordinary person to temporarily exert the combat power of a transcendent, but you have also seen the situation of the Green Pothos Knights before, and it takes life force to exert that kind of combat power. ”

Seeing that Qi Lin took the pothos vine, his brows furrowed and he didn't look closely and stuffed it directly into his own space, and the Count of Pothos didn't care too much.

He smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Of course, you can also raise it as an ordinary pothos, after all, I feel that you don't have a shortage of treasures at hand." ”

Then he pointed to the boxes in front of him and said, "These are 50,000 gold coins, which is considered to be the cost of the two clusters of sunshine that I hired you to use before." ”

He beckoned his subordinates to move the remaining money boxes, and Count Pothos opened the boxes one by one, and the shining gold, silver and even copper coins made Qi Lin's eyes light up instantly.

"These are most of my liquidity, a total of 240,000 gold coins, and they are all given to you now. ”

The light in Qi Lin's eyes slowly retracted, and he asked a little curiously: "What do you mean, it's useless, I can't take out more than 20 clusters of sunlight now." ”

Earl Pothos waved his hand lightly to signal Qi Lin to think too much, and then he explained: "I know you can't take it out, this money is first of all an advance payment to buy sunshine with you, and I have one more thing to ask you." ”

Qi Lin glanced at Count Pothos vigilantly and asked, "What's the matter?"

He knew that Count Pothos was an old fox, and the relationship between the two was not bad now, but he was also afraid that Pothos would pit him.

Luluo smiled and said: "You don't have to worry too much, it's just a small thing, aren't you going to the depths of the Black Forest, if you can meet the black leaf pothos and help me bring it back." ”

Qi Lin asked curiously, "Black leaf pothos?"

Luluo didn't hide it and replied directly: "Well, you should have also discovered that our family's Zuluo is not complete, when the ancestors fought, Zuluo was broken, one of them was sent back to our family, and the rest fell into the depths of the Black Forest, our family has not given up looking for it for so many years." ”

"However, the depths of the Black Forest are full of dangers, and only a strong person like the Beastmaster dares to go there, although we have been hanging on the commission in Lower Quarter Moon City, but hundreds of years have passed, and no one has been able to complete it. ”

"This time I asked you to help just to try your luck, if it really succeeds, we still have a good reward, if you don't meet it, you don't have to worry too much. ”

After staring at Count Pothos for a while, Qi Lin nodded silently, and he agreed.
