Chapter 186: One-sided negotiations
"Some people ask me why I am cultivating? I would also like to ask all of you here, why do you cultivate the Tao? Everyone in this world will have different pursuits. Some people pursue wealth, some people pursue power, some people pursue groups of beautiful women, and some people pursue fame...... But did you ever think that no matter how big this life is, how high its status is, and how rich its wealth is, it will turn into a pile of ashes after a hundred years. In the end, I realized that the efforts of this life turned out to be in the wrong direction. Cultivators, the pursuit of seemingly simple, maybe coarse tea and light rice, maybe a humble thatched hut, but they chase their hearts and seek immortality...... "Hongyi Taoist is still very eloquent on the stage. The people in the audience nodded their heads, but no one knew that Hongyi's understanding of the Tao was just a scratch. He didn't know the true laws and laws of the changes in the vitality between heaven and earth. I gave up the avenue, but I went to persuade others. It is known for its faintness.
But I listened to it with relish, and this Hongyi is still very well-read and memorized. Said a lot of things that I haven't touched yet. So listening to his lectures is still very rewarding. Some people smiled when they saw me. Ask me if I understand such a profound thing. I'm too lazy to ramble with them. I knew they saw my age and all took it for granted that I was here to join in the fun.
Next, some scholars who study Taoism also came to the stage to give lectures one after another, which was really boring. I really don't understand that what was originally a very simple path of cultivation was made so complicated by them, and they analyzed so many truths, which really made me a little incomprehensible.
In fact, what I am most concerned about is whether Daoist Hongyi will sign a cooperation agreement with Lin Yi's father in the end. Once this agreement is signed, Lin Yi's father's work will be much easier in the future. And I also have a stable financial route. Although it seems that I have enough money to spend now, I vaguely feel that there will be more places to use it in the future. Cultivating the Tao is not an easy task. In the future, he may be like Zhao Daochang. Finding a blessed place to retreat is a very expensive project.
I thought that Mr. Hongyi might be talking casually, but I didn't expect Mr. Hongyi to walk straight to our booth after finishing his speech.
"Boss Lin, how are you handling the affairs here? Why don't we find a place to talk about the supply of talismans. Daoist Hongyi said.
"Naturally, there is no problem with this. The Taoist can recognize our talismans, and that is what the Taoist can afford. Lin Yi's father smiled.
We went to one of the hotel rooms together.
"Your talisman is going to enter my Moshan Laojun Temple. An agreement needs to be signed. Once your talismans supply our Laojun Temple, they cannot be supplied to other Taoist temples. It is not possible to supply to the temple. "Daoist Hongyi actually wants to be the general agent of our Yuan Qi Talisman.
"I'm sorry, Daoist Hongyi, we won't sign the same contract with any Taoist temple. We will not give the exclusivity of the talisman to any one company. Lin Yi's father shook his head and immediately rejected Daoist Hongyi's request.
"Boss Lin, you have to think clearly. Our Moshan Laojun Temple is a very important tourist attraction in Jincheng City, once your amulet enters the Moshan Laojun Temple, the amulet becomes a special product of the Moshan Laojun Temple. Prices naturally rise exponentially. Your price is so high. We have a choice to make. Daoist Hongyi said.
"In that case. I can only tell Daoist Hongyi with great regret that we will definitely not back down on these issues. Lin Yi's father said very firmly.
"You, you, you're really a mouse. It's no wonder that I took such a good talisman and couldn't find a market. Daoist Hongyi said disdainfully.
"In that case, forget it. Lin Yi's father also said regretfully.
I've opened the door and I'm ready to go outside. Seeing that I was so simple, Lin Yi's father didn't pay any attention to Daoist Hongyi, got up and prepared to leave.
"Hey. Wait a minute. You win, you can not exclusively supply Moshan Laojun Temple. However, the price has to be a little cheaper. Our Moshan Laojunguan will definitely be your big customer in the future, and you can't say anything about the retail price for me. "This Hongyi Taoist suddenly became a philistine. If those who had just listened to his lecture would be stunned to see Daoist Hongyi like this at this time.
Lin Yi's father glanced at me. I nodded secretly, and Lin Yi's father said, "This is no problem, but at most eighty percent off." Below that, it's hard for me to be happy with that master. ”
"Six-fold! Six-fold, I can barely agree. Daoist Hongyi said.
"Then there is no need to talk about it. I don't have much profit margin for less than 20% off. Lin Yi's father said very resolutely.
"How can you have the sincerity to do business?" said Daoist Hongyi shook his head.
"I have shown my greatest sincerity, if you agree, we can start working together immediately, if you don't agree, then I don't think there is any need to talk about it anymore. "Lin Yi's father was about to open the door and walked over to me.
Daoist Hongyi hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, you won." ”
Next, Daoist Hongyi and Lin Yi's father talked about how to pay and settle. Daoist Hongyi has always been in a passive state, there is no way, Moshan Laojunguan is the highest in his cultivation, and he can't make such a fine talisman. He can't let my talisman fall into the hands of others, otherwise it will greatly damage the interests of Moshan Laojunguan in the future. Think about it, if there is a kind of vitality charm with a wonderful effect in other Taoist temples, then there will definitely be fewer and fewer customers in Lao Junguan. And having such a talisman will naturally increase the attractiveness of the Moshan Laojun Temple.
After the business was negotiated, Daoist Hongyi asked tentatively: "Boss Lin, when the time is right, can you introduce me to the master who made the talisman?"
This is the real purpose of Daoist Hongyi, he has paved so much before, just to make Lin Yi's father relax his vigilance, and then inquire about the whereabouts of the person who made the talisman.
"I'm sorry. I'm just helping the master sell these talismans. He would have people deliver it on a regular basis. It's hard for me to see each other. So I can't help with that. But I'll try to talk to the person who came to see if they would like to meet you. Lin Yi's father excused.
Daoist Hongyi was very frustrated, he thought that Lin Yi's father was worried that Moshan Laojunguan would skip him as an intermediary and directly connect with that master. Hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, my purpose in asking to see the master is not for Fu Zheng. Instead, I hope to be able to get guidance from someone superior. As a cultivator, I don't care much about money. ”
"It's not because I'm worried about it, but I really can't help it. The master is now cultivating and does not like to be disturbed. Lin Yi's father shook his head and said.
Before my sister's vacation, I had been making vitality talismans in Jincheng's house every day, mainly making the lowest grade yellow paper material of meta talismans, and peach wood talismans were also partial. At night, he enters the dream realm to practice. But my cultivation seems to be stuck, and there has been no significant growth.
In the past six months, my sister has published a number of very influential papers, and has already gained a certain reputation in the field of ancient character research. Even Ji Hongquan of the Institute of Unearthed Literature and Ancient Characters no longer regards his sister as his subordinate, but lets his sister lead the team and prepare her own project. My sister has several high-grade papers to pave the way, and it is naturally very simple to declare the topic in the future, and she can have her own team. But in this way, my sister's vacation was postponed a lot.
"Jingyang, why don't you wait for me, go back first. My sister told me on the phone.
"That's not good, I'm still waiting for you here, anyway, there is a lot of demand for talismans over there in Lao Junguan now. I'll have to help Uncle Lin get a little more. "I don't know why, I'm a little afraid to go back to Octagon Village alone. (To be continued.) )
