Chapter 398: Asking for money and not God
Li Jianye was a little tired from being tossed, and when he saw that Li Changfeng said it was okay, he went to rest.
As soon as he left, Benjamin came to the house with the first mate, Charlie.
"Oh, Honorable Highness the Nine Emperor Princes, it's such a pleasure to finally see you again!"
Benjamin walked quickly, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, now he was very proficient in the etiquette of the big cadres, and his movements were more standard than the average big cadres.
Charlie also knelt on the ground and kowtowed, staring at Li Changfeng with a look of adoration, feeling a little excited.
Li Changfeng was also very happy to see them, and stepped forward to help the two of them: "Get up quickly, my old friend." ”
Seeing Benjamin dressed as a nouveau riche, Li Changfeng couldn't help but smile and said, "Benjamin, it seems that you have made a lot of money." ”
"Isn't that thanks to you, Your Highness? Without you, Benjamin wouldn't be where he is today! ”
Benjamin laughed out loud and shouted to a few sailors not far away, "What are you doing in a daze?" Bring me the gift I prepared for Your Highness! ”
Li Changfeng said politely: "Benjamin, you are so polite." ”
Benjamin said seriously: "Respected Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes, this is a piece of my heart, you must not refuse!" ”
As he spoke, he stepped forward to open the box himself.
There are a total of nine boxes, three of which contain gold, silver and jewelry, and the other boxes contain some new things unique to the West.
Li Changfeng likes such smart people very much.
He stopped Benjamin from rambling on these things, brought the two of them to the hall and sat down, and ordered the feast to be prepared.
As soon as the hot tea was served, Benjamin couldn't wait to mention what he had seen and heard after coming to the capital.
"Your Highness, that bicycle that can run by itself is really amazing, every time I come to Daqian, there will be some shocking new things, this must have been invented by your Highness, right?"
"It is indeed produced by this prince, and its name is motorcycle."
"Oh, thank God, that's great!"
Benjamin was overjoyed, rubbed his hands and said expectantly: "Your Highness, are motorcycles sold?" I'd like to take some back, those aristocratic lords will definitely go crazy! ”
"My old friend, of course you sell it, how much do you want?"
"A hundred! Oh no, it's too little, five hundred! ”
Li Changfeng smiled: "Don't you even ask about the price?" ”
Benjamin replied directly without even thinking about it: "Oh, respected Royal Highness the Nine Emperors, I am completely at ease with you, I know that you will definitely set a reasonable price!" ”
Benjamin is a smart man, only Li Changfeng has a motorcycle in his hand in the whole world, and the pricing power is in Li Changfeng's hands, bargaining has no meaning, it is better to be happy and leave a good impression.
And he is not worried about the high price of motorcycles and the fact that there are more rich aristocrats in the West.
His goal was achieved, and Li Changfeng was very happy to hear his words.
"This prince likes to do business with happy people like you, and later this prince will give you one, and then show you how to drive it himself, and show it to those nobles when he arrives in German."
"Great, thank you, Your Highness the Nine Emperors!"
Next, Li Changfeng briefly introduced the characteristics of motorcycles, focusing on the need for refueling, oil is counted as silver, and pointed out that the profit of oil is also very considerable.
Benjamin understood the huge market potential for such consumables and ordered 5,000 barrels of oil.
As for refined salt, tea, and bicycles, which have been purchased before, they all know that the price has not been discussed in detail, and Benjamin finally remembered Cardinal Adrian.
"Honorable Highness the Nine Emperor Princes, have you met Cardinal Adrian of the Holy See? Where is his church? You know, the Holy See has a transcendent position in the West, and I have to pay him a visit. ”
Li Changfeng smiled faintly: "It's dead." ”
Benjamin was stunned for a moment, thinking that he might have heard it wrong, and said in disbelief: "Your Highness, what did you say?" I didn't hear clearly. ”
Charlie, who had never had a chance to interject, also looked at Li Changfeng with wide eyes at this time.
Li Changfeng shrugged his shoulders: "You heard it right, he died, and there are two guys whose names seem to be Colony and Monila, who are also dead." ”
Confirmed, Benjamin stood up and knocked over the teacup with an unbelievable look on his face.
"Oh Mma Karma! Oh Mma Karma! Lord Adrian was killed!? How is this possible!? ”
Adrian, one of the closest people to God in the Western world, is almost omnipotent, invincible in his eyes.
And he also brought the world-famous knight elders like Corodi and Monira, with many elite knights, how could he die in Daqian?
Even if it is a thousand troops, it is impossible to kill them.
Benjamin couldn't accept this fact.
Charlie on the side also shook his head frantically.
"No way, how could Lord Adrian be killed?! It's absolutely impossible! ”
Li Changfeng glanced at the two of them and said, "Benjamin, this prince can tell you that this is true, and it was this prince who killed him, because he tried to assassinate this prince." ”
After speaking, Li Changfeng carefully observed the two.
He wasn't sure if Benjamin and this Charlie were really strong in their faith.
If they have a firm faith, then the follow-up cooperation may go wrong, and he has to make two preparations.
If the two of them are fanatical believers, then Li Changfeng still has to guard against them from doing things in Daqian.
Benjamin and Charlie were stunned for a long time, still unable to accept this fact.
Li Changfeng said helplessly: "Benjamin, one of the women you gave to this prince last time is named Alice, she knows the whole thing, she works in Diandude, you can ask her." What this prince is concerned about now is whether I need to change partners. ”
"Change partners?! Why?! ”
Benjamin couldn't help but exclaim, this was a matter that would kill him, and it scared him even more than Adrian's death.
Li Changfeng shrugged: "Because this prince killed Adrian." ”
Benjamin was stunned for a moment, then understood what Li Changfeng meant, and quickly shook his head like a rattle.
He spoke very quickly and said with a firm expression: "No, Your Highness, no matter what reason Adrian was killed by you, it will not affect our business, I believe in the god of wealth, not him!" ”
After speaking, he looked at Charlie: "Did you say?" ”
Charlie hurriedly nodded in agreement: "I believe in the god of the sea, there are no fanatics in our caravan, Adrian was killed by you, then he must be damned!" ”
Two greedy guys!
For the sake of profit, this completely dissociates itself from Adrian.
However, this is a good thing for Li Changfeng, which can avoid a lot of trouble.
