Chapter 50: Who is for and against
The professor has never seen such a generous person, after all, when the organization's funds were tight before, they couldn't even pay the basic allowance, and many wavering people just quit and disappeared.
In the end, the remaining dozens of people relied on their enthusiasm and belief in the organization to maintain it with great difficulty.
In order to raise funds, they have thought of many ways, borrowing usury, smuggling, and doing all kinds of work.
Once, he was almost reported and caught by someone for soliciting sponsorship, and after narrowly escaping, he arrested the rich man and extorted more than two million dollars in revenge.
It was the first time the professor had seen so much cash, a heavy bag of dollars.
Now another large bag of dollar cash was placed in front of him, and the shock this time was even stronger than the first time they met.
Because the bag in front of me was five million dollars, the full bag was almost torn, and the bundles of dollar bills couldn't wait to squeeze out after the zipper was opened.
Qin Yi patted the heavy travel bag, "The first sponsorship, you click on it." ”
The professor looked at the bag, then at Qin Yi, and was silent for a few seconds, "Are you serious?" ”
"Do you think I'm acting with you here?" Qin Yi said impatiently, "If you don't want to cooperate with me, then I'll leave now, and we'll continue to fight in the future." ”
"No, I didn't mean that." The professor hurriedly denied, "It's just that we have rubbed many times before, causing a lot of unpleasantness." ”
"That's all a misunderstanding, wouldn't it be nice to open it?" Qin Yi sighed, "I like to make money in harmony, and it is not good for anyone to continue to fight, and cooperation will benefit both sides." ”
The professor nodded, and there was nothing wrong with that.
The only concern in his heart was that the Mr. Zhao in front of him really made him incomprehensible, and his actions were too imaginative.
If he had a choice, he would definitely stay away from this guy and never provoke him.
It's a pity that I was confused at the time, so I caused so much trouble.
But fortunately, Mr. Zhao is a smart person, and he directly proposed to bridge the misunderstanding and re-cooperate.
In addition, Mr. Zhao's shot is too generous, which is a rare stable funding channel for their organization.
What's more, he killed Rameau, who was their sponsor.
If it's not for the money, why take such a big risk to steal some three artifacts.
When the buyer said that he was spending a billion dollars to collect stolen goods, the professor didn't take it seriously at all.
Everyone in this industry knows that the actual value is completely different from the value of the stolen goods.
There is a lot of money to blow in that mouth, and when you want to sell it out after you get it, you can't sell it at a discount.
But $100 million is a lot of money for an organization.
Rameau, a drug lord, sponsors them only 10 million dollars a year, and the organization has to settle a lot of messes for Rameau.
Now that Mr. Zhao has taken out more money, it goes without saying how to choose.
……
After daybreak, the professor, who had rested for a few hours, got up, and after a cursory wash, he was about to go out.
The professor wanted to get Mr. Zhao's affairs done quickly, so he specially called two people to take care of the messenger.
And he rushed to the church with Mr. Zhao to meet with the others.
Yes, he is going to take Mr. Zhao with him.
Because this Mr. Zhao has not left, staring at the professor, almost inseparable.
It's not a threat or the enthusiasm for cooperation is too high, but the professor can't get rid of him.
In order to soothe the professor's discomfort, Mr. Zhao gave him another $500,000 personally.
The two walked into the church in silence without saying a word.
The priest who led the way for the professor last time appeared at the door, looking at Qin Yi in some surprise.
"Why is there one more person?"
"This is an honored guest." The professor replied, "I brought him in for something very important to discuss. ”
"You didn't tell me before that you'd bring someone else." The priest frowned, "It's not in order. ”
"The rules are made by men." The professor sighed, "It's really important to be in a hurry. ”
The priest hesitated, full of doubts, and then turned and walked ahead to lead the way.
When the professor pushed open the door of the prayer room and walked in, several people sitting inside looked at the people he had brought in with astonishment.
"Professor, who is he?"
"How do you bring an outsider in? Have you forgotten the rules? ”
"What the hell is going on?"
In the face of everyone's fierce doubts, the professor quieted them down in three words.
"This is Mr. Zhao, and he is willing to join our organization."
"He donated $10 million in cash and $10 million in arms, and the annual sponsorship amount was not less than $20 million."
"He helped us get the three artifacts."
The prayer room was silent instantly, and everyone gasped, and their faces changed suddenly to look at Qin Yi.
Qin Yi took a step forward and put the package in his hand on the bench, "This is the three artifacts. ”
Then he put down a large travel bag, "This is the first sponsorship, five million dollars." ”
The lawyer was silent for a long time, turned his head to look at the professor, and asked in shock, "Is this true?" ”
"I've checked the three artifacts." The professor nodded seriously, "The Heavenly Cloud Sword and the Eight Mirrors are both fakes, and they should be forged in the late Heian period and early Kamakura period. ”
The gentleman next to him instantly became excited, "That Magatama?" ”
"Magatama should be real." The professor smiled, "It is a typical carving method in the Han Dynasty, and it should be the handwriting of craftsmen in the Han Dynasty. ”
"Yes, yes!" The lawyer slapped excitedly, "That's right, it's impossible to test whether the earliest magatama is this one, but if it is an antiquity from the Han Dynasty, it is enough to prove that it is the original." ”
"Heaven forbid." A pastor next to him said excitedly, "The thing is finally here." ”
Qin Yi suddenly laughed, and reached out to pick up the package containing the eight-foot Qiong Hook Jade, "Professor, it seems that you didn't tell me the truth, it seems that your goal has been this thing from beginning to end." ”
When the others saw Qin Yi pick up the package, their faces suddenly changed, and they all scolded one after another: "What are you going to do, put down your things quickly!" ”
The professor's face turned pale and he stretched out his hand to stop the others, "Everyone, calm down first, don't be impulsive." ”
"Put things down!" The lawyer excitedly reached out and pulled out a pistol, and the professor hurriedly stepped forward and pressed the lawyer's hand, "Put the gun away, you're crazy!" ”
The lawyer looked at the professor with a look of incredulity, "What are you doing?" You traitor, who are you helping? ”
"Of course I'm helping you, idiot!" The professor yelled, "Don't provoke him, we can't beat him." ”
"There are five of us!" The lawyer shouted angrily, "How can you not beat it?" ”
"Fifteen can't beat him!" The professor was sweating profusely and turned his head to look at Qin Yi, "Mr. Zhao, you put things down first, and I will give you an explanation." ”
Qin Yi gently hugged the package in his arms, "You say it first, and then I'll think about whether to put it down." ”
The others couldn't help but be anxious, but when they saw the thing in the other party's arms, they were afraid that it would be damaged by a conflict for a while.
The professor finally quieted down the others, "Mr. Zhao, our goal is indeed only this one magatama, and the other two are just foils. ”
"No wonder you said you were going to put those two back, it turned out that you knew they were fakes from the beginning." Qin Yi looked at the professor with a smile, "Then what are you going to do with this magata?" It can't be just for collecting, right? ”
"Someone made a bid to buy this magatama." The professor said directly.
The others were shocked and angry, and they began to shout and curse.
"Professor, you're crazy, how can you tell him such a confidential thing!"
"You traitor! I already knew something was wrong with you! ”
"Professor, what the hell are you trying to do?!"
"What do I want to do?!" The professor exclaimed, "Of course I'm for the organization, for everyone!" It's all at this time, think he won't know if we don't say it? Don't take others for fools! ”
"The thing was brought back by Mr. Zhao, strictly speaking, the thing is not ours, you are too rude to Mr. Zhao!"
"Mr. Zhao is very sincere to join the organization, and when we meet, we shout and kill, which is not in line with hospitality!"
"Well said, I very much agree with what Mr. Professor said." Qin Yi nodded, "I originally came with great sincerity and enthusiasm, since you don't welcome it, then I'll go?" ”
At this time, the gentleman hurriedly stood up, "Mr. Zhao, it was all a misunderstanding just now, don't be excited, let's sit down and talk slowly." ”
The professor also stepped forward and grabbed the package in Qin Yi's arms, and persuaded: "Yes, yes, sit down, sit down." ”
Qin Yi pondered for two seconds, "Since you are so sincere, then let's sit down and talk." ”
Several people sat down in their chairs, and the gentleman placed the other two artifacts on the chair and the bag containing five million dollars at his feet.
"I'm not actually interested in this thing, I'm just not happy with your attitude." Qin Yi complained, "I contributed money and effort, and materials, but you treated me like this, it's really chilling." ”
"It's really their fault, it's their recklessness." The professor persuaded, "We also took this piece of magatama to resell it to raise funds, and we don't have any other meaning, so Mr. Zhao must not be interested in this thing." ”
"Mr. Zhao is generous, at first glance, he is a noble man who is rich and rivals the country, how can he put some wealth in his eyes, right?"
Qin Yi nodded with a smile, and also stuffed the package in his arms into the professor's arms, "I'm a person who eats soft and doesn't eat hard, if you talk to me openly and honestly, there will be no such misunderstanding." ”
"I'm sorry." The professor finally breathed a sigh of relief, and handed the parcel containing Magatama to the gentleman.
Seeing that the things had arrived, everyone's hearts were relaxed, and the atmosphere gradually eased.
The lawyer who was the most fierce in the past also put down his gun and changed the topic bluntly, "It's not impossible for Mr. Zhao to want to join the organization, but we have a strict organizational process, so it's not so sloppy." ”
Qin Yi stood up without saying a word, "You return the money and things to me, and I'll leave now." ”
The professor and gentleman hurriedly got up, "Wait a minute, Mr. Zhao, don't worry, we are now discussing the procedure for you to join." ”
"Yes, Mr. Zhao, we jointly recommended you, and it was very easy to join the organization." The gentleman also persuaded, "It's nothing more than a matter of going through the process." ”
Qin Yi was a little surprised, "Your organization is still going through the process?" ”
The professor coughed, "In a well-structured organization, the process is an essential part. ”
"That's right." Qin Yi nodded, "It seems that your organization is well built, much more formal than other organizations, and the standardization is very good." ”
"Mr. Zhao, our organization was first established in 1981 by a group of comrades with ideals, and after several reorganizations, we have strict organizational discipline and a clear ideological program." The gentleman began to introduce the organization to Qin Yi, "Our organization has members all over the world, with branches in Europe, Africa, North America, and South America, with a total of more than 400 formal members and thousands of peripheral personnel. We have four branches in East Asia......"
"Not bad, not bad." Qin Yi nodded, "With so many members and multiple branches, I am very optimistic about the development potential of your organization." ”
"With Mr. Zhao's financial sponsorship, the organization will definitely develop faster." The gentleman complimented him slightly, "We will award Mr. Zhao the title of honorary director of the organization, which belongs to the high-level members of the organization." ”
"How tall is this high-rise?" Qin Yi suddenly asked, "Same as you?" ”
"This ......" The gentleman was a little stunned, he just came in and wanted to be on an equal footing with us, you are too greedy.
People have to recognize their own positioning, what kind of thing are you, but you want to be on an equal footing with us just because you have a few stinky money.
"Ugh." The professor hesitated, "That's right, Mr. Zhao wants to join the Privy Council." ”
"It can't be." The lawyer flatly refused, "The Privy Council is our core leadership, how can we let you join directly from an outsider, not to mention that you are not a member of the organization." ”
"Shall I go?" Qin Yi stood up again, "Give me back the things, and pay me back the money." ”
"Wait a minute, wait a minute!" The professor grabbed Qin Yi, "Mr. Zhao, you wait a minute." ”
The gentleman also stood up and persuaded, "Mr. Zhao, you are too anxious, let me explain to you our organizational structure." ”
"The organization has peripheral members, grassroots members, and middle-level backbones, as well as high-level commands, and the core head is our Privy Council." The gentleman explained, "We have a total of thirteen members of the Privy Council, seven in Asia. ”
"These thirteen members are the first to join the organization and have made significant contributions to the establishment and maintenance of the organization, and each of them is our precious wealth and close comrades."
"I see." Qin Yi nodded, "Just say it directly, how much does it cost for me to join the Privy Council?" ”
"......" the gentleman's voice was a little hoarse, "Mr. Zhao, it's not a matter of money, a new member joins to have a probation period, and then we will assign tasks and duties according to his ability and contribution." ”
"Is 20 million a year not enough?" Qin Yi asked rhetorically, "Isn't it enough?" ”
"It's really not about money."
"I'll add another 10 million, is that enough?" Qin Yi directly interrupted the gentleman's words.
"This ......" the gentleman turned his head to look at the professor with a stunned face, and the professor was expressionless and did not speak.
"I agree in principle." The gentleman coughed.
"The professor agreed, and so did you." Qin Yi turned his head to look at the others, "I must join the Privy Council today, otherwise I will leave now." ”
"After I finish speaking, who is for and against?"
