Chapter 30, Bargaining

"Lin, your asking price is too high." Qiao Sen said.

Lin Qiusheng shook his head and said: "If they had only done it once, I would not ask for such a high price. But, I am sure that this is not the first time those guys have committed a crime, right? Otherwise, I will come here four times."

A friend with extraordinary abilities, and the gang of super criminals is also four people. Why don't you come here as if you are facing a formidable enemy?" Lin Qiusheng said, "If other methods are effective, you may not find me here. My fees are indeed

It has always been very expensive. But you guys have worked with me and know that my high fees are not unreasonable. What is the quality of my service?

If you really think it’s expensive, I suggest you go to North Brooklyn. There are some gypsies there who are also good at all kinds of divination, and their prices are much cheaper, maybe ten dollars is enough.”

Both Jolson and Richard laughed. Jolson said:

"Lin, you have to know that our budget for this case is limited and it is difficult to pay such a high informant fee."

Yes, when reimbursing the money spent on hiring Lin Qiusheng for fortune telling, of course it cannot be clearly stated that the money was used to hire a wizard to tell fortunes, so it must be reimbursed in the name of "informant fee"

.

"But the reward for this case should be very high." Lin Qiusheng said.

Qiao Sen and Richard looked at each other, and then said: "Lin, you are right, but the reward must be paid after the person is caught. And even if you make a successful divination, it may not be possible."

You can definitely catch someone, right?"

"I made a successful divination, but you can't catch anyone. That's your problem. The risk of not catching anyone should not be borne by me." Lin Qiusheng retorted.

"Well, Lin, otherwise, this case involves tens of millions of dollars, and the reward is indeed not low. How about you lower the price of divination, and we will give you a certain percentage of the reward. Once the person is caught

, if you solve the case, you will definitely get more than what you want now." Richard said.

"No," Lin Qiusheng shook his head, "This approach is equivalent to making risky investments. In today's economic situation, the risks of making risky investments are too high. Even if it is buying government bonds, it should be

Even something without risk may make you bankrupt, and your investment project is even more risky.

The price for my divination is so high, not all of it is the cost of technology, many special consumables are the bulk of the cost. Some things are even rare, even if you have money, there is nowhere to buy them. If these things are

Apart from that, it is not easy to have a 5% success rate in divination for extraordinary beings. If you can accept that the accuracy rate of divination is less than 5%, then I can also significantly reduce the price, even

Considering that we are friends, I would like to do divination for you for free, would you accept it?"

Of course, it is impossible for Qiao Sen and Richard to accept it. The suspects being chased are super criminals. To arrest them, it is not just a matter of sending two policemen in a police car. To arrest them, a lot of manpower and material resources must be used.

.The cost of this kind of action is not low. With an accuracy of 5%, just using such power and consumption, no one can afford it.

"Lin, but your price is really high. Can't you be the first?" Qiao Sen said.

"How about you provide the raw materials for divination, and as a friend, I can help you for free." Lin Qiusheng said, "But the ratio of my raw materials is also a technical secret. You can buy this intellectual property right at once, and then

If something like this happens again in the future, you can always provide the raw materials, and I will just charge a basic technical service fee." Lin Qiusheng added.

"Lin, you know this is impossible." Richard shook his head and said, "Say the best price. If we can accept it, we will settle the matter immediately. If we can't accept it, then we will

Find another way."

"I have just quoted the price. If there is a counter-offer, you should pay it back." Lin Qiusheng replied.

If Lin Qiusheng takes the initiative to offer a lower price at this time, then Richard will definitely make some tentative cuts on this basis. After going back and forth, Lin Qiusheng loses the initiative. It is better to let Richard

If De said a price, it would be easier to find out his details.

What's more, there is actually a system running in Lin Qiusheng's living room. This system uses multiple visible light and infrared cameras in the living room, as well as other sensors to take pictures of the people who come here and record their various behaviors.

Information, including facial expressions, eyes, especially changes in pupils, as well as changes in breathing, heart rate and temperature of various parts of the body, can then be analyzed to roughly judge the person's mental state. This is very useful for this type of negotiation.

It's so useful.

Sure enough, after Lin Qiusheng said this, the system showed that the two people's various behaviors showed that they had some hesitation. Finally, the two people looked at each other, and then Qiao Sen said:

"Ten thousand dollars for the first fortune telling. If we come to you for the second fortune telling, we will give you fifty thousand dollars. You see the total is ten thousand dollars more. What do you think?"

Lin Qiusheng smiled: "I know your plan. After you get the result of the first divination, if the result is valid, it would be best if you caught him. Not only will you get the reward, but you will also save 10,000 US dollars in informant fees;

Even if you are not caught, as long as the information is proven to be valid, it is nothing to pay an informant fee of US$40,000 for this. In this way, you have successfully transferred all the risks to me.

The first time you didn't calculate it, you paid 10,000, and I couldn't even recover the cost. The first time it was calculated, and you successfully caught them, I still can't even recover the cost. This way

The conditions I made can only be said to be without sincerity. As for the 50,000 U.S. dollars at the end, it seems that including the first one, the total is 10,000 U.S. dollars more than the conditions I mentioned earlier. But this 50,000 U.S. dollars is only the first one.

The calculation was correct once, but because of you, you failed to catch them, so I had a chance to get it. And this $50,000 is yours without risk on the premise that you have confirmed that I have such ability.

The price offered.”

"How about you come up with a plan?" Qiao Sen said.

"The first time is 15,000 US dollars. I will calculate your cost price. Who makes us friends? If within three days after my divination ends, you catch the target, you must give me another 30,000 US dollars. If you need me

For the second divination, it will be 40,000 US dollars." Lin Qiusheng said, "If you agree, we can sign the contract now, and then I will prepare and then we can start the divination. If you don't agree, we'd better not do it again.

We’re wasting each other’s time.”

"Mr. Lin, we need to discuss it together first," Qiao Sen said.

Lin Qiusheng knew that these two guys were actually here more for the reward. He felt that after some calculation, the probability of them agreeing to his conditions was still very high.

"This will be another income. Alas, it would be nice if this happened more often." Lin Qiusheng couldn't help but think this way.

Lin Qiusheng cannot be blamed for having such an idea. After all, in a free market environment, it is normal for lawyers to hope that everyone will litigate, and for those who buy coffins to hope that everyone will die.

Sure enough, just as Lin Qiusheng expected, Qiao Sen and Richard whispered to Lin Qiusheng that they were willing to accept Lin Qiusheng's conditions and signed the contract immediately.

"Have you brought anything related to the prisoners?" Lin Qiusheng asked after signing the contract.

"Yes. This is the hood we found near the scene. It should have been thrown from the car when they escaped." Richard replied.

"Very good." Lin Qiusheng said, "You guys wait here for a moment. I'll go up there. In two hours, I'll come down and tell you the results of the divination."

Going upstairs and entering the study room, Lin Qiusheng took out three copper plates and began to divine. It took about twenty minutes to get the fortune telling results. Then Lin Qiusheng took out his mobile phone and set a setting that will ring in one hour and forty minutes.

alarm clock, and then got busy at his workstation.

After the alarm clock rang, Lin Qiusheng got up and went downstairs. With a tired look on his face, he said to Richard who came up to him: "Take out your phone and open Google Maps."

Richard took out his cell phone, opened Google Maps, and handed it to Lin Qiusheng.

Lin Qiusheng quickly marked the location on the map, which was a residence in Brooklyn.

"You can directly observe the Citibank branches across the street from here. They may commit crimes again, and we must act immediately," said Johnson.

The other person said goodbye and left.

After the two people left, Grant immediately came over and said in an exaggerated tone: "God, Lin, you are so amazing. In just two hours, you earned fifteen thousand U.S. dollars! Although this is not as good as

Robbing a bank is, at least, much better than robbing someone on the street."

"Grant, you made a miscalculation." Lin Qiusheng replied with a smile, "Fifteen thousand is just a cost, I didn't make any money. But I believe that I will soon have thirty thousand dollars in my account. That's what I do."

Earned in two hours."

"Then can I learn divination?" Grant asked again.

"Ah, this is my ability to make a living, but we are friends, so teaching you is not a problem. It's just that the basis of divination is mathematics. Your mathematics foundation is still too poor, and you probably won't be able to learn it even if I teach you." Lin Qiusheng said.

Upon hearing the request for mathematics, Grant raised his hands and said: "I protest that the existence of mathematics is racial discrimination against us!"

Of course, Grant was just joking when he said this, and he himself did not agree with this famous view.

"What about Fidel?" Grant asked again.

"The simplest one may be possible, but for more complex ones, he will also have to improve his mathematics level, at least to the level of a general university mathematics graduate."

"I'm not envious of divination. What I want to learn most is actually your negotiation skills, Mr. Lin." Field said.
