Chapter 5: The Boy Who Gives Money, Grandpa Lu

"Diluc from Mondstadt, hello to you."

Does Grandpa Lu care so much about aristocratic etiquette?

Seeing Diluc bend down to salute, Ouyang was a little embarrassed and could only return the salute formally.

"Hello, my name is Ouyang. I'm sorry for being rude. My legs and feet are inconvenient and I can't go to greet you. Please sit down first."

"You don't have to be so polite. I'm here to say thank you!"

After saying that, Diluc bowed down and thanked him coolly again, then sat down and started to explain.

"The doctor who fools everyone, his plan five years ago indirectly led to the death of my father. I later learned that you killed the doctor five years ago, which can be regarded as revenge for me."

Uh...do I need to express my gratitude so solemnly?

Ouyang looked at Grandpa Lu who was thanking him, feeling a little strange in his heart.

He knew very little about the plot of the game, and he didn't know how many "good things" the Doctor had done in Mondstadt.

"You don't need to thank me. I killed him because he was burdened with the blood debt of my family."

Seeing that he said it solemnly, Ouyang could only answer politely, and showed a certain sense of distance in his words.

This is certainly not the right way to treat guests, but he still doesn't understand why Diluc appeared in Liyue at this time. This sudden visit gave Ouyang the feeling that the game plot had deviated from its original track.

.

On the other side, Diluc's face showed little expression.

After drinking the tea in the cup, he looked at the teacup in his hand and said: "Over the years, I have traveled around the seven countries just to find out the truth about my father's death. Later, I learned the source of everything, the doctor who fools people and the man who can swallow

The evil eye of life.”

Having said this, Diluc raised his head and met Ouyang's eyes.

"Later, I found out that you killed the doctor five years ago. Therefore, I set off to Liyue to find you. While thanking you, I wanted to invite you to join our intelligence organization."

I reject!

Looking into Grandpa Lu's eyes, Ouyang did not flinch or answer, but the look of rejection was on his face without any cover-up.

Of course Ouyang was curious about what mysterious organization it was, but he knew that if he wanted to avoid more trouble, he should not be curious about any mysterious things.

This is especially true when he has no ability to protect himself.

In short, after knowing the strength of the maintainer, Ouyang became more cautious.

There was no change in Diluc's eyes. He wanted to draw Ouyang into the organization because he killed the doctor, which shows that fools are everyone's common enemy.

But since Ouyang doesn't want to join, and Diluc doesn't force it, the organization isn't that easy to get into, so he's not in a hurry, he still has time.

So Diluc changed the subject.

"This tea cup is exquisitely made, has beautiful patterns and soft colors. Is it a treasure?"

Grandpa Lu, you still need a cup?

Such a blunt change of topic prevented Ouyang from turning around for a moment, but he also noticed that Diluc never put down the cup. After drinking the tea, he kept holding it in his hand to play with it.

Although he didn't know why he started talking about this, Ouyang still told the truth.

"Just kidding, these tea sets and cups are not rare. Although they are rare, they are still easy to make if they are carefully crafted."

"Oh? Is your family productive?"

"The production cycle of porcelain takes more than ten days. My family's investment in this area is not large. If mass production is carried out, the output of the finished product may not be large."

Because I have been reading various reports recently, all these details are in my mind and I can answer them easily.

And Ouyang said it conservatively. Because of the long-distance trade, most of the porcelain products at home were supplied abroad.

Tea, porcelain, grain, and cloth are all industries that your family already has, but they are not very competitive, so they are not big. And now they are basically covered by merchant ships, so there is not much inventory.

Looking at Grandpa Lu who looked like a "president", Ouyang now regrets that many people said that Grandpa Lu was down and out, and made comments such as scraping, which caused him to be left in the warehouse to eat dust after being crooked by Diluc.

Haven't practiced yet.

This makes Ouyang's current understanding of Diluc not comprehensive, but rather abstract.

If it weren't for the system, he would only remember a few things about the Night Hero and the Just Man in the legendary mission.

Thinking of this, Ouyang looked at Diluc and said in a neither humble nor overbearing tone.

"If you don't need much, I can have someone make some and send them to Mondstadt. After all, our trade over the years can be considered a bit of a friendship."

Regarding Ouyang's words, Diluc did not answer immediately. Instead, he pondered for a while, put down the cup in his hand, and then said.

"When I traveled around the seven countries, I negotiated two business deals, namely Fontaine and Zhidong. If you can produce more than a thousand of these porcelains every month, I think we can further cooperate."

After speaking, Diluc looked at Ouyang and added: "The volume is not large, but the profit is relatively considerable, and if you agree, I will also increase the purchase price and quantity of spirits. How about it?"

How about it?

Of course it’s a promise!

Just when I was wondering why I could earn more molas without touching the cake in Liyue Port, Grandpa Lu came to give me some warmth.

Ouyang does not value the volume of this trade. What he values ​​​​is the hidden opportunity behind this transaction - a new trade line and a stepping stone to open the market.

If successful, Ouyang can also boast that your family's business has spread across seven countries.

Therefore, Ouyang made a rather excessive request.

"In principle, I agree to this transaction, but I have a request. I will send people to follow your trade caravan to those two countries."

"That's absolutely fine, and because my winery is too far away from Jingfu Port, I will set the starting point at the dock of Liyue Port, which also requires the support of your family's fleet."

"make a deal!"

A preliminary agreement was reached, Ouyang called Guiping, and the three discussed some details. Now they only have some preliminary intentions. The subsequent specific cooperation conditions will need to wait until Diluc's caravan comes to Liyue Port next month.

talk.

At that time, my subordinates would negotiate all the conditions before signing the agreement.

After everything was finished, Diluc stood up and prepared to leave.

"Master Ouyang, you don't need to send it away."

Diluc walked to the door of the study and stopped and said to Ouyang.

"Out of gratitude to you and the happy cooperation between our two families, I can give you a free message. Zhidong sent a new envoy to Liyue, his name is Dadalia, and the fools all executed

The last seat of an official."

After saying that, he bowed slightly to say goodbye, then turned around and left coolly.

Guiping also went out to see off the guests, leaving Ouyang alone in the study.

After hearing Grandpa Lu's last words, Ouyang did not panic.

Although he killed the doctor, the uncle clearly said that the matter is over, everything has settled, and there will be no further complications.
