Mr. Duo usually looks gentle and gentle, likes to take care of things, and looks a bit arrogant, but his personality doesn't seem to have much temper.
Misjudgment, this is definitely a huge misjudgment.
Master Hu understood everything at once. It seems that his behavior in the past few days has completely angered Master Duo, and he has also lost Master Duo's trust in him. The original friendship between the two has been completely consumed.
People's current attitude is that business is business.
I just have a cooperative relationship with you, so why should I help you solve your problems?
Just like what A Qian said before, no matter how the owner of this castle changes, who should we cooperate with? The words are rough and the reasoning is not rough.
Since you, Mr. Hu, treat others as partners, shouldn't they treat you in a fair manner?
Who can resist moral kidnapping?
Duo Ye’s question is completely correct. If there is extra friendship between the two parties, where is it reflected? You, Mr. Hu, have seized people's foundations and seized such a large territory. Even if I, the Baoshu clan master, did not help you kill people, you borrowed my strength and painted the sign. Did you give me extra compensation?
Now, with the relationship between you and me, we can’t just ignore death?
What is this all about?
Those who are employed are facing forward, those who are not being used are facing backward. Do you really think that the Baoshu clan bloodline is just a street product, just like those two groups of humble mushroom people?
Duoye had a stern face and showed no mercy at all.
The bloodline of the Baoshu clan, once angry, would not be angry but would become intimidating. This momentum made Mr. Hu feel like he was beating a drum in his heart. If he said he didn't regret it, it would be a lie. We should have implemented the cooperation content as soon as possible before, instead of being petty or even trying to default on the debt.
Now you have to ask for help from others, but you are rejected, right?
At this moment, the happiest person is not Duo Ye, but Qian Ye. He stood beside Mr. Duo, keeping a straight face and holding back his words. That's because he has a sense of proportion and knows that when Master Duo speaks, it's best for him to shut up. But if it is not convenient for Mr. Duo to say it, it is up to him to say it.
It is precisely because Master Qian has a tacit understanding of this over the years and has a thorough understanding of Master Duo's temper that he can win Master Duo's favor.
And Mr. Hu's men, whether it is Lao Ba or Lao Zhu, are all silent at this moment. They knew that this was the displeasure coming from Duo Ye, and it was not something that small characters like them could handle. It's not up to them to make the decision.
Since they can't make the decision, the best choice right now is to shut up and pretend to be transparent, otherwise they will only bring humiliation to themselves by opening their mouths randomly.
Mr. Hu took a deep breath, cupped his hands and said, "Master Duo is sorry. It must be that I, Ahu, failed to do something well. I reflect on it and admit my mistake."
You must admit when you are wrong, and you must stand upright when you are beaten. Master Hu is quite clear about his attitude.
But that alone is obviously not enough. What Mr. Duo wants is not his sincerity, but serious interests.
Apparently, under A Qian's encouragement, Duo Ye also let go of his mental obsession and reserve. I also realized that the best choice is not to talk about feelings with people like Mr. Hu, but to put interests directly on the table.
Suffer once, suffer twice, never suffer three times.
"I don't dare to take what Master Tiger said. You said I won't save you until I die, so how does Master Tiger want to save me? What price do you plan to pay?"
Mr. Hu's eyes lit up, and he seemed to be getting better after hearing these words.
He immediately said hurriedly: "From the standpoint of our common interests, this battle is not easy to fight, and it cannot be fought. To stop fighting, I am afraid that Master Duo will have to come forward. Only the blood of the Baoshu clan may be able to frighten the opponent." two."
Duoye said calmly: "Do you want me, the Baoshu clan, to pretend to be a fox or a tiger again?"
Before, if they hadn't used the identity of the Baoshu clan to pretend to be powerful, they wouldn't even be able to enter Cenqi Castle. To seize the foundation of Cenqi Castle, it can be said that the Baoshu clan's signature played a great role. If it weren't for the Baoshu clan's signature, Cen Qi wouldn't be able to cooperate so confidently, and there wouldn't be any banquets later.
It can even be said that the Baoshu clan is the stepping stone and battering ram for Mr. Tiger to seize this land.
What's funny is that Master Hu is pretending to be confused about this. Not only was there no extra reward for Duo Ye, but he even wanted to refuse what he had promised.
It's no wonder that Master Duo is angry, no wonder that Master Duo brings up old things again and says things like pretending to be powerful.
In today's situation, Mr. Hu knows that he can only stay humble all the way. No matter how distasteful Mr. Duo's words are, he still has to hold his nose and admit it, and he still has to smile.
"Who in the inner world knows about the reputation of the Baoshu Clan? Even if these gangsters are ambitious, if Master Duo, a leader of the Baoshu Clan, comes to intimidate them, they will have to consider the consequences."
In the inner earth world, there are really only a few forces who are truly willing to die to offend the Baoshu clan.
Although those people on the opposite side were brave, they couldn't possibly have the courage.
"Then what?" Duoye nodded lightly and asked.
Then?
Master Hu was thinking about how to answer the call. Master Qian, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said sadly: "Master Hu, last time I used my Baoshu clan's signature, you didn't show any sign, so that's it. This time, you You don’t think that my master Duo’s appearance will be in vain again, do you? This doesn’t seem like your Master Hu’s style, are you so ignorant?”
Are you going to act stupid? Then I will explain it to you in plain language.
It's equivalent to telling Mr. Hu directly, just mark the price clearly.
Mr. Hu understands that it is difficult to pretend to be stupid now. I'm afraid it's absolutely impossible not to cut off the flesh.
Thinking of this, Mr. Hu decided to stay single for the rest of his life: "Since I have troubled Mr. Duo to come forward, I cannot let Mr. Duo do it in vain. I wonder what price Mr. Duo thinks is appropriate?"
Duoye didn't speak, his expression was calm, as if he wasn't talking to him at all.
However, Qian Ye seemed to understand Duo Ye's meaning and took the initiative to extend a hand: "Duo Ye represents the Baoshu clan and holds half of the castle's interests, and the two sides are evenly split. Only in this way will Duo Ye maintain it as his own territory." Come and run the business, make small fuss, no matter who you replace it, it’s the same thing.”
Even if Mr. Hu is the kind of person with excellent psychological quality who doesn't change his color even if the mountain collapses, he was shocked when he heard this. Others were even more speechless, thinking that they heard wrongly.
Isn't this a lion opening its mouth?
The old man couldn't help but said: "Aqian, don't be ridiculous. Is there any respect between superiors and inferiors? Can you represent Duo Ye?"
Duoye stared at Laoba with deep eyes: "Aqian has been with me for so many years, why can't he represent me?"
ah?
Everyone was shocked again. In this way, this is not Qian Ye’s words, but Duo Ye’s own intention. What he wants is half of the castle’s interests!
Lao Ba stammered and was speechless for a moment. And Lao Zhu was not much better.
They want to scold their mother, but this is too cruel. They want half of the benefits just by opening their mouths. Why don't you just go and grab it?
Aqian seemed to be able to read their thoughts: "You must be thinking, I am a lion with a big mouth, why don't you go and grab it?"
"In fact, you also robbed this castle, from the owner Cen Qi. Moreover, you robbed it under the name of our Baoshu Clan. What? Do you think the Baoshu Clan's sign is not worth half of the benefits?"
Master Hu finally regained his composure and said in a deep voice: "Master Duo, I admit that to a certain extent, I relied on the Baoshu clan's signature to seize this castle. But here are the people who make plans, charge into battle, fight bloody battles, and suffer casualties. My people. This half of the benefits is actually..."
There is no doubt that asking for half of it is completely beyond Master Hu's psychological bottom line. Let alone half, even more than 20%, Master Hu would not be able to accept it at all. Just to ask you to show up, you have to go halfway. Pixiu's mouth is not as big as yours.
Master Duo smiled faintly: "Master Hu, you know me. I never force others to do things. In the same way, no one can force me. Aqian, I'm tired, please see the guests off."
Ah Qian did not show off, and waved his hand: "Everyone, please. But a reminder, half of it is tonight's price. When you ask here again, it will be a different price. Moreover, as Duo Ye, Do we have to talk to Master Hu?"
Don’t agree now? Don't beg us again then.
The old man was a little unhappy: "Aqian, you are just a little assistant who pretends to be powerful. You jump up and down. Don't you feel like a clown?"
Qian Ye smiled contemptuously: "It doesn't matter that I look like a clown. At least I know that I am Duo Ye's assistant and I know which way my elbows are. Unlike some people who turn their elbows outward and have a respectful face, who knows what kind of person they are behind the scenes. You traitor. You are a recognized suspect for how those elixirs were destroyed, but you haven’t been cleared yet. You can forget about this, but my master has not forgotten it.”
Old Ba was so angry that his whole body was trembling like chaff: "You...you spit so much blood at others, you don't even know what to say."
"Haha, Dad, I even doubt that you brought the people outside? Are they colluding with you, inside and outside? Last time you put the blame on the Mushroom Man, who are you going to blame this time?" When it comes to bickering, there is a huge gap between Lao Ba and A Qian.
"Master Tiger, don't listen to this kid's nonsense. My loyalty to Master Tiger can be seen from the sun and the moon. If I have any different intentions, I will be struck by thunder!" Old Ba could only cry and express his loyalty to Master Tiger.
Tiger Master's heels seemed to have roots, but he couldn't move even after Ah Qian called out to see him off.
The anger in his heart was also burning at this moment, but he had to suppress it. When he leaves, it means breaking up with Mr. Duo, or even breaking up with Mr. Duo.
Ah Qian's words were obviously threats, and they were said in a very straightforward and explicit manner.
This time it’s this price, half of it. Next time the market won't be like this, and you may want two-thirds or even more.
This wasn't what bothered Mr. Hu the most. What was even more troublesome was that this guy actually said that they didn't necessarily have to talk to Mr. Hu and the others.
What does this mean? In other words, Mr. Duo can definitely talk to the group of people outside. He even helped them build a castle. When the Baoshu clan revealed their identity and asked for half of the benefits, the other party would most likely agree. After all, the castle is now in Master Hu's hands. If the other party can seize the castle, half of the benefits are not benefits?
Half of the benefits are greater than Master Hu's original foundation. This piece of cake is enough to attract most powerful forces in the inner earth world.
Butler Lao Zhu whispered: "Master Hu, the overall situation is our top priority."
He didn't say it clearly, but it was obvious that he was advising Mr. Hu to calm down and not leave in anger. If the conversation with Mr. Duo really breaks down, Mr. Duo and the others turn their elbows outward, which makes a big difference.
The most terrible thing is that they really can't do anything to others when they release threatening words. Do they dare to attack Duo Ye directly?
Putting aside whether they were prepared to offend the entire Baoshu clan, could they really be able to deal with Duo Ye alone?
Duoye is from the Baoshu clan, and his abilities are miraculous and unmatched by ordinary warriors. Master Hu thinks he is powerful, but with Master Duo's unpredictable methods, Master Hu has no confidence in keeping him.
Once Duo Ye cannot be kept and allowed to escape, the disaster will be huge.
Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary and there is no absolute certainty, Master Hu will never resort to such a trick to fall out with Master Duo.
The situation was somewhat stalemate. When Mr. Duo saw these people refusing to leave, he frowned and said, "Everyone, since we can't reach an agreement, we should retain some dignity. Why do you do this?"
Why should it be so?
Master Hu sighed inwardly. Only at this moment did he realize that the bloodline of the Baoshu clan really had such weight. He thought that by seizing the foundation and becoming a stronger and richer person, he could move up a level. Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, the Baoshu Clan bloodline could still easily control him.
This is the advantage of birth, the advantage of bloodline, the advantage of holding a golden key in your mouth.
Putting it another way, is Mr. Hu qualified to make such conditions and say such threats to Mr. Duo of the Baoshu tribe?
Totally impossible!
If he threatened the Baoshu clan, they would probably turn against him on the spot and tell him to get out in a minute, or even let him receive an education on the spot.
Master Hu's heart was full of bitterness, as if cups of coptis water were being poured into his mouth.
Does he have any choice? No choice.
"Master Duo, as you said, half of the profits will be divided 50-50 between you and me, sharing this foundation!" Master Hu gritted his teeth and made this decision.
Duoye didn't show any ecstasy, he just said calmly: "That's fine, I'll just accept it reluctantly, right?"
"Master Duo, we can't suffer a loss this time. We have to put it down in black and white. The castle's accounts must be checked first. How much land, how much minerals, how much cash, how many rough stones, how many gold and silver coins, how much cloth and food..." A Qian is worthy of it. Be an excellent assistant and talkative.
Every word he said seemed to prick Master Hu, causing Master Hu's heart to bleed continuously.
This is half the benefit. Duoye didn’t do anything, he just opened his mouth to get half of it!
What's even more annoying is that he can't refuse to give it.
If he doesn't give it, most of Duoye's foundation can still be guaranteed. It's just that the person given will be replaced by the group outside, or some other latecomer.
"Lao Ba, Lao Zhu, you go and bring the accounts. Don't hide any secrets. Bring them all. You discuss the profit distribution with Mr. Qian. I will discuss with Mr. Duo how to retreat from the enemy."
This time, Master Duo did not resist and said calmly: "Leave these copper-smelling transactions to them for negotiation. Master Hu, let's go to the study to discuss."
One night, Mr. Hu finally heard something that inspired him.
Master Qian said with joy, "Don't worry, Mr. Duo, I will definitely keep my eyes peeled. I won't miscalculate even half a copper, and I will never let your interests be harmed."
