Lao Ba was reminding the owner Cen Qi, but actually the dissatisfaction in his tone was directed at A Qian.
What do you mean, Aqian? You introduce your master, Mr. Duo, first. That’s absolutely fine. You are Party A and you are the uncle.
But everything will be fine after introducing Mr. Duo? Is our Lord Tiger just a decoration? Or are you, A Qian, the one who took the decision to kick our Tiger Master out of the game? Even if you, Ah Qian, represent the Baoshu Clan, how can you be so domineering?
As Master Hu’s henchman, Lao Ba must of course jump out first. And he can only jump out. Mr. Hu can't fight for this face by himself, can he? That would be too embarrassing for Master Hu.
Cen Qi was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled slightly: "Hello Mr. Tiger, welcome. Everyone, please come in."
To say that he is not enthusiastic, Cen Qi cannot be said to be unenthusiastic.
But speaking of enthusiasm, it is obviously two different things from Cen Qi's affectionate enthusiasm when he saw Master Duo.
Mr. Hu was very dignified. He smiled lightly and didn't show any displeasure at all. He smiled and acted defensively towards Mr. Duo, signaling Mr. Duo to invite him first.
Master Duo glanced at Mr. Hu meaningfully, then at Cen Qi, and then glanced at Butler Lao Zhu, and then walked forward with a smile.
Jiang Yue saw everyone's expressions and expressions in his eyes, and secretly applauded in his heart.
He finally saw it.
Qian Ye deliberately left Hu Ye and his group aside. The introduction just now was clearly a deliberate attempt to snub Mr. Hu and hurt Mr. Hu’s face.
It seems that Master Qian is determined to promote cooperation between the Baoshu Clan and Cenqi Castle and kick away Master Hu's huge appetite.
From Master Qian's point of view, Jiang Yue can understand very well.
If we cooperate with Cen Qi alone, the cost will definitely be reduced a lot. Moreover, the area and quality of the spiritual land exceed Master Hu's manor.
No matter from which point of view, there is no need for the Baoshu tribe to hang themselves on the tree called Tiger Lord. After all, the Baoshu people are the ones paying the money, and the Baoshu people don't have to look at the face of any Party B.
I'm afraid not only Master Qian, but Master Duo will also think so.
But the question is, if they think so, can Lord Hu, a powerful man, agree? They ignored the majestic face of Mr. Hu and his ambition.
Jiang Yue had already picked up some flavor from Master Hu's calm reaction.
Master Hu came here with ambition.
I'm afraid his thoughts at the moment are not just about promoting this transplant cooperation, but he also has ambitions that are ten times and a hundred times greater than this.
Of course, although Jiang Yue saw through it, he still couldn't say it. Jiang Yue is happy to see this kind of thing happen. Master Hu insisted on seeking death, but Jiang Yue not only would not stop him, but would secretly help facilitate it.
This situation is particularly interesting now.
Master Hu, who has ulterior motives, Duo Ye and Cen Qi, who want to cooperate, and the thoughtful Butler Lao Zhu and his group.
This is not a contest between three parties. This is clearly a four-nation war situation.
Jiang Yue's attention was not overly focused on Duo Ye and Qian Ye. These two were relatively simple-minded and had nothing to pay attention to. Jiang Yue has been observing Master Hu's reaction. As expected by Jiang Yue, Master Hu seemed calm all the way, but in fact his eyes were looking everywhere, with a sense of scrutiny, observing every detail of the manor and castle. Even if he concealed his ambition very well, he could not hide it from Jiang Yue. Such a caring person.
Soon, Jiang Yue was sure that Master Hu was here to seize people's inheritance. Looking around, he was clearly peering into the manor's defense structure, power system, etc.
As for Butler Lao Zhu, he was obviously quite wary of Mr. Hu and his group, and he was obviously wary in his politeness.
Obviously, ambitious people have the same aura, and each can smell the ambition in the other.
Soon, several people sat down in the living room.
After some pleasantries, Duo Ye, on behalf of the Baoshu clan, formally extended an invitation to Cen Qi for cooperation.
Cen Qi naturally agreed happily, but housekeeper Lao Zhu obviously had no intention of falling out with Cen Qi and was waiting to see what would happen.
Obviously, Butler Lao Zhu didn’t want to offend the Baoshu clan in person. Isn’t it just cooperation? The cooperation negotiated by Cen Qi can continue to cooperate without Cen Qi.
Fortunately, Master Duo of the Baoshu Clan is still very principled. The first thing he talked about was the plan to transplant the elixir, which required renting eight hundred to one thousand acres of spiritual land.
The subjects of this negotiation are naturally Mr. Hu and Cen Qi.
As for more spiritual lands on the castle side, Duoye plans to negotiate separately after the transplant plan is finalized. Duo Ye is not A Qian, so naturally he cannot be so strong-willed. He directly talks to Cen Qi about the cooperation of the rest of Lingdi in front of Master Hu, and he has to avoid Master Hu at least.
This was at least very open and did not leave Mr. Hu aside. At least it ensures that this cooperation between the two parties can be completed smoothly.
Duo Ye feels that by talking like this, he has taken care of the interests of all parties and can be considered very open-minded.
But he obviously underestimated Master Hu's greed.
Master Hu's thoughts have gone far beyond this cooperation.
Of course, it wasn't time to fall out yet, so Mr. Hu was naturally smiling and had no objections to every detail of the negotiation, appearing extremely happy.
In the end, it comes back to the price of renting the spiritual land.
Because the cycle this time will not exceed one year, and this site only provides spiritual land and does not provide manpower and technical support, the final rental price is 50,000 silver coins.
Cen Qi did some calculations in his mind and felt extremely excited. The rental fee alone is fifty thousand silver coins. If you can participate in the cultivation of elixirs, this income will obviously double or even triple.
Calculating this, five thousand acres of spiritual land, in one year, can actually earn at least half a million silver coins, which is just a lot more.
Long-term cooperation is definitely possible!
"Master Hu, what do you say about the rental fee of 50,000 yuan?" Master Duo asked.
Mr. Hu was very generous: "I have no objection. The rental fee of 50,000 yuan is a fair price."
Duoye said seriously: "According to the previous agreement, our Baoshu clan will bear half of this cost."
Mr. Hu said with a smile: "Easy to say, easy to say. Once Master Duo opens his mouth, I will naturally trust him. Naturally, I will pay the rental fee first."
I have to say that Mr. Hu is still very good at life. He knew that as a representative of the Baoshu clan, Mr. Duo came to manage the medicine garden and could not carry so many silver coins with him.
Naturally, he needs to pay the rental fee in advance and settle the payment later.
The most delighted person is undoubtedly Cen Qi. Fifty thousand silver coins!
How long has it been since the manor had such a large amount of income? You know, his castle's annual income of even 100,000 silver coins is enough.
Just one thousand acres of spiritual land cost fifty thousand silver coins to rent. In other words, even at this standard, renting another thousand acres of spiritual land would cost more than 100,000 silver coins.
So five thousand acres of spiritual land, just thinking about it makes my blood boil.
Butler Lao Zhu on the side said: "Master, we still have elixirs planted on the spiritual ground. If we rent it to them, the elixirs in it will be equivalent to useless. There must be an explanation for this part, right?"
Cen Qi said displeased: "The rental fee of 50,000 silver coins must include the damage to the land. Lao Zhu, this spiritual land is my ancestral property. Since you are worried, I will personally handle this cooperation." Responsible for the negotiation. I will also settle this account. Now that the castle cannot make ends meet every year, we want to open up money, starting from these spiritual lands."
Lao Zhu's face was a bit ugly, but in front of so many outsiders, he couldn't just turn his face.
"Master, I am also thinking about the long-term interests of the castle."
"I know your loyalty, Lao Zhu, but it's time for our castle to make changes. Lao Zhu, believe in my judgment. If we manage these spiritual lands well, the situation of the castle will be improved. The castle has With money, everyone's life will be better. We can have the confidence to spend money. Otherwise, we will be unable to make ends meet every year, and we have to be careful about every dollar we spend. When will this end?"
In terms of both emotion and reason, Cen Qi's words are very pertinent.
Lao Zhu sighed: "Okay, since the owner of the village has made up his mind, I have nothing to say. This thousand acres of spiritual land can be rented. But for the remaining spiritual land, we must have a long-term plan. How to cooperate requires a person Long-term planning. You can’t just rent it so cheaply.”
Seeing that he had taken a step back, Cen Qi softened his tone: "The remaining spiritual lands will naturally have to be discussed separately. The distinguished guests of the Baoshu Clan have not yet touched upon the remaining spiritual lands. Even if they are to be discussed, they will be discussed later. It’s over. We will definitely work out a plan that satisfies both parties. The Baoshu family has a great cause and will never let us suffer."
In fact, although Cen Qi has not left the castle for a long time and seems to have little information, he is actually a smart person. Except for his lack of experience, his wisdom in other aspects is impeccable.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to hold on until now under Lao Zhu's gaze. At least the wisdom of pretending to be stupid is far beyond that of ordinary people.
Lao Zhu softened his attitude slightly when he heard that the remaining spiritual land had to be discussed separately.
"In this case, I will listen to the owner of the village regarding the rental of this thousand acres of spiritual land."
The implication is that you have the final say over this thousand acres. What's left behind is the big head, but you can't have the final say in everything.
In fact, the one who is most annoyed now is Master Hu.
He clearly heard what Master Duo and Cen Qi meant. The thousands of acres of spiritual land behind them had nothing to do with him, Master Hu.
If he, Mr. Hu, had not come here to rent this thousand acres of spiritual land through borrowing money because of the transplantation of these elixirs, I am afraid that the entire cooperation would have nothing to do with him.
How could Lord Tiger accept being kicked out? Not only did he have to eat such a big piece of fat, he also had to swallow it all in one bite.
Of course, at the moment, he remains calm, as if he is only focusing on the transplantation of his batch of elixirs. Urging both parties to quickly sign a rental contract and immediately transplant the batch of elixirs...
To a certain extent, this can be regarded as paralyzing people like Cen Qi and Butler Lao Zhu.
Many parties had no doubts about the lease of this thousand acres of spiritual land, and the cooperation was soon finalized.
Cen Qi was naturally very happy and ordered a banquet to be held and he would personally entertain these distinguished guests.
But Duo Ye and Hu Ye politely refused, claiming that transplanting the elixir was the highlight. It must be completed within these two days.
Cen Qi was naturally very happy and stated that he would cooperate unconditionally no matter how much cooperation was needed here.
However, the transplant project naturally cannot allow outsiders to intervene. Cen Qi only needs to measure the spiritual land.
Mr. Hu and Mr. Duo have already formulated a strict transplant plan. Once the spiritual land is vacated, they can immediately start the transplantation project.
Although Cen Qi could not participate in person, it did not affect his enthusiasm at all.
Cen Qi was mesmerized as he watched a large number of pharmacists quickly step into their roles and transplant batches of elixirs into his spiritual land. The professional techniques and the process full of technical content made him fascinated.
"So it turns out that elixirs can be used like this?" Cen Qi marveled inwardly, and at the same time he was even more disgusted with Butler Lao Zhu.
Why can such a good spiritual land play such a big role in the hands of others? Under the management of Butler Lao Zhu, do you still have to pay extra money every year?
I used to think that this old dog was at least diligent, but now it seems that this old dog is not only greedy, but also extremely incompetent.
Otherwise, this is simply Lao Gou deliberately slacking off and letting the manor gradually decline, so that he can find opportunities to occupy the past.
Cen Qi already had a plan in mind.
Make money, make money.
Once you earn enough money and have the power of your own confidants, you will kick out Lao Zhu as soon as possible, announce the old dog's crimes one by one, and then send him on his way.
As for Master Hu, it is naturally impossible for him to do it himself. During the transplant process, he and his confidants stood on the mountainside and watched the transplant team working on the vast tracts of spiritual land, which made Mr. Tiger's blood boil with passion and his greed increased greatly.
"Lao Ba, Lie Chi, have all the people arranged by you come back?"
To capture this piece of property, the castle must be captured. Defeat the armed forces in the castle in one fell swoop.
The real threat is the armed team in the manor. Now, what Mr. Hu has to do is to find out the strength of these teams, see how much combat effectiveness they have, and then arrange relevant countermeasures.
It's okay if you don't take action. Once you take action, you must try to win it in one fell swoop.
"Master Hu, do we need to discuss it with Master Duo before we take action?" Old Ba asked in a low voice.
"What are you discussing? Discuss with them. This matter will definitely not happen. We must decide first and then make the matter an established fact. Even if Mr. Duo wants to object, it will be too late. By then, the territory will become ours. Let's talk to him again. Anyway, for the Baoshu tribe, cooperation with them is also cooperation, and cooperation with us is also cooperation. Besides, how can we lose his share?"
Mr. Hu has a clear understanding of human nature.
I also know Duo Ye very well. A bit prudish. If you really had to tell him in advance, he would definitely stop it considering the safety of the elixir.
But once it is done, Master Duo will definitely acquiesce. Especially when the benefits are in place, there is no reason to settle for a group of dead people.
"Master Duo attaches great importance to this batch of elixirs. Let's get started. We must take good care of this batch of elixirs. This is the prerequisite for cooperation with the Baoshu tribe. Dad, once the battle begins, you must lead people to take care of this batch of elixirs." Take good care of the medicine and no one is allowed to come near."
Lao Ba hurriedly said: "I understand this."
Nothing can happen to this batch of elixirs, otherwise it will delay Mr. Duo's supply of elixirs, and Mr. Duo will definitely not agree.
