Chapter 42 Just talk about business~
The next afternoon, the snowstorm continued, and there was no tendency to stop at all, but it was getting heavier and heavier! The temperature is also gradually decreasing...
Except for the manure truck, almost no one goes out every day...
Ted adheres to his own philosophy, these workers who go out to pull manure will be paid double wages, and the same is true for those who stick to their posts!
At this time, Ted, who was sitting by the fire, put down the watermelon in his hand, and suddenly remembered the prince who came from afar, and heard Chris say that Steve's subordinates seem to have a chamber of commerce, although the scale of operation is not very large, but it is a properly registered organization, with profits and running water, which has been operating for several years and has a place in the alliance of chambers of commerce.
"Let's talk to him about business today, if sugar and canned food can really be sold through this chamber of commerce, there will be a lot less trouble in the north~" After thinking about it, Teddes felt that this method was indeed good!
After all, the people in the north can't get along with other people in the empire, so it's better to use the name of this prince to do business, which is safe and stable, and it is not easy to cause chaos, and it can cover up certain news!
For businessmen, as long as there is money to be made, they will not investigate the source of the goods, as long as it is reasonable and legal, they will not be questioned, and they will not care who is behind the scenes~
With such a calculation, not only can I not treat Steve as a result, but I also have to make friends with him, and even have to take him out in danger...
"Forget it, let's go to him and talk to him in detail!"
Ted got dressed and set off towards the welcome building opposite the Lord's Palace, in order to solve the problem with the envoy in time, he specially placed this place opposite his home, saving time and effort!
Coming to the second floor, Ted slowly followed the route to the outside of Steve's room.
Suddenly, a philosophical voice caught his attention...
Not only did this Steve not repent, but he also relied on someone to cover up and cheat here unscrupulously! And this life will continue until April next year...
"This prince... What a letting go of nature! ”
As a civilized person, Ted must know how to be polite, let alone disturb other people's good things, so he knocked lightly on the door and said, "I'll come back in 20 minutes to talk to you about things, is it okay?" ”
Hearing the voice from outside, Aquaman Wa Zhai Na laughed: "Ten minutes is enough~"
"What ten minutes! Half an hour! Steve was very upset with Aquaman's joke...
"Okay, I'll be here in half an hour!" Ted was bored with himself, and he didn't plan to argue with the two, let alone listen to them, so he chose to go to the first floor and see what the others were doing.
Walking down the stairs, Ted suddenly spotted a door that was ajar...
“?” To satisfy his curiosity, Ted quietly approached the door and looked inside along the gap...
At this time, Leonardo da Vinci was drawing, looking at the patterns on the drawing board, like snow outside, and in addition, the tables around him were full of his previous paintings...
In order not to frighten Da Vinci into a failure of his painting due to his reckless behavior, Ted deliberately stayed at the door for a while, waiting for Da Vinci to put down his pen before raising his hand and knocking on the door.
"Dangdang..."
"Huh?" Leonardo da Vinci turned around and found Ted, who was looking at him: "Mr. Earl, do you have something to do here?" ”
Ted pushed open the door and came into the house with a smile: "I was just passing by, and I happened to see you painting, so I stopped for a while, and when you stopped writing, I knocked on the door, for fear of scaring you and ruining the painting..."
"You are so caring~" Leonardo da Vinci stood up with a smile and made a gesture of please: "Come in and take a look, these are all painted by me~"
"Then you're welcome!"
Just as he was at the door, Ted saw the work "Cold Smile" in the corner
Leonardo da Vinci was about to rest for a while, when he noticed that Ted was looking at a painting he had made not long ago, and he leaned in too: "Monsieur Count, do you like this painting?" ”
"I don't like it, I just feel sad, I think, it's better to have less war, our [Xueman Empire] and the [Huck Empire] in the south have been fighting for thousands of years, it's time to unify... After all, it's all a family, so there's no need to call around..."
"Can you read my drawing?" Leonardo da Vinci was stunned, he had seen this painting to many people, and most of them gave answers that were dirty and obscene, saying that he went to the sea at a young age and cried and other vicious and vulgar language.
Until then, the best answer was Steve's "Keep the kids out of harm's way...", but it didn't get to the point.
"How do you see that, Mr. Earl?" Sir Leonardo da Vinci wanted to find out, but there were not many people who could understand his own drawings, so he had to have a good exchange!
Ted did not intend to be a ghost, but pointed to the painting and stated his thoughts one by one: "You see, you use cold colors to show that you want to highlight the bleak atmosphere, this girl's smile represents a good wish for life, but the tears from heaven are really a stroke of God, indicating that this wish cannot be fulfilled." ”
"The last petal is the only warm color, I guess, it's your own wish, you want world peace, right?"
'Bang! Leonardo da Vinci was stunned and sat down directly on the stool, for the first time that he had been painting for so many years, he had been correctly understood...
"It's just a landscape I happened to come across, and I'm realistic, but I didn't expect you to see so much from it?" Leonardo da Vinci sat on his knees and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time...
In fact, this ability is considered to be a relatively basic reading comprehension and picture reading comprehension.
According to the texture of the ink on the paper, the painting was produced not far away, and combined with recent events, it is easy to guess the meaning of the painting, and there is no difficulty...
"Did the reading comprehension done in the previous life come in handy?" Ted smiled and pulled up Da Vinci and said, "Why don't you do this, I'll provide you with some ink, and you continue to paint~ Let yourself go, how about it?" Personally, I think these paintings are quite meaningful, and they will have an impact on future generations. ”
"Really? Mr. Earl? Can you give me some more blue paint? This pigment is the most expensive, and I'm not as rich as you..."
"No problem, you wait for me for a while, I'll come when I go~"
In this painting, there is not only sadness and lamentation, but also a layer of anger!
This level of anger may not have been felt by Leonardo da Vinci himself, but Ted could see it...
In order to prevent the art students from touching the map with their brushes, Ted decided to provide him with a platform, enough paint and money to paint hard...
Leonardo da Vinci was the only person in the empire to gain a noble seat for painting, which is unprecedented.
Before he became a nobleman, the paintings he made were all works with color, dedicated to the powerful nobles...
Although his history of fame is a bit stained, it is not enough to hide his ability to paint.
Of course, the main thing is... Don't let an artist of this level fall down, once you do, the world will suffer!
Since he draws well, let him continue to paint~
Because of this influence, Ted also instructed a lot of things for public officials!
For example, when rejecting someone who comes to you for a job or a job application, don't say, "You're not the right person for the job!" Let's get a new copy! These kinds of statements that raise blood pressure.
Instead, he used a tactful tone to give him a sense of struggle: "I'm sorry, your existing ability is still a little far from our requirements, I hope you continue to work hard!" There may be a chance next year! ”
This kind of encouragement is often warmer than a blunt rejection, and it can also give job seekers the idea and motivation to further improve themselves~
