The differences are as big as the Grand Canyon within the Five Elements Academy, and it is impossible for either party to compromise. This compromise means losing one million gold coins.
This amount is not to say that the two university palaces cannot come up with it. With the financial resources of the two university palaces, although one million gold coins is not a small amount, they are fully capable of coming up with it.
It's just that it is obviously impossible for both parties to accept the loss of such a huge amount of wealth for no reason.
Taitan Academy felt that their money had already been spent, and the rough stones should be shipped according to regulations. They felt that Five Elements Academy was getting a bargain and selling well. Seeing that Titan Academy was easy to talk to and happy to do business, they wanted to make another blackmail and sell a batch of goods.
twice.
From the perspective of Five Elements Academy, they felt that I clearly didn’t receive the money, so why should I be asked to deliver the goods? If I deliver the goods, who will pay the money? Whose loss is this?
No one can convince anyone, even if Grand Scholar Jade Cauldron comes forward in person, even if he doesn't hesitate to fall out, it won't work.
According to the logic of Shenguang University Bachelor, I have not received the money, so it is impossible to deliver the goods to you. This is the same truth for everyone.
In the territory of Five Elements Academy, can it be blackmailed by you, Grand Bachelor of the Jade Cauldron?
Faced with the question from Grand Master Yuding, Grand Bachelor Shenguang was not polite: "Fellow Taoist Yuding, don't speak so harshly. Our Five Elements Academy has always been fair in doing business, and we will not be polite to the money we earn."
Go and make money. We, the Five Elements Academy, will not earn the unconscionable money that we should not earn. The storage bracelets and millions of gold coins that you keep talking about, I, the Five Elements Academy, have not even seen a word of. If it really falls into the Five Elements Academy
In the hands of the palace, we have already shipped the goods through the teleportation formation, so there is no need for you to send people one after another to rush."
The Grand Master of Jade Cauldron snorted coldly: "Anyway, this money was lost in your territory. Who has swallowed the money? It's not you who have the final say now?"
Shenguang University Scholar said displeasedly: "Although one million gold coins are quite a lot, it's not like our Five Elements Academy has never seen money before. Again, we, the Five Elements Academy, will not make money from unscrupulous money."
After all, the Shenguang University Scholar refused to admit that he had received the money.
The Grand Master of the Jade Cauldron was very angry: "Well, let's consider your Five Elements Academy to be awesome. When I came, my chief Grand Master told me that no matter what, the goods must be delivered on time. As for the transaction fee, the two of us will
Can’t everything about family relationships be discussed?”
The scholar from Shenguang University said: "I'm sorry, we only see the money before we ship the goods. We welcome discussions, but they must be finalized and the goods will not be officially shipped until the transaction money is received."
This is a determined decision not to deliver the goods without money. No matter what you say, I just can’t get enough.
Grand Bachelor Jade Cauldron wished he could fall out on the spot.
If it weren't for the Five Elements Academy's territory, he would have to curse loudly. The Five Elements Academy really doesn't show any kindness at all.
Originally, the chief bachelor of the Titan Academy had explained before his departure that if possible, even if it was a partial loss, both parties would bear the loss together, and it would be a 50-50 split, so it was not impossible to consider.
But his tone was a little more relaxed, but the Five Elements Academy was not at all relaxed. It was completely like there was nothing to talk about, and he had no intention of discussing it with you.
Either pay or don't ship, it's that simple.
The Grand Bachelor of the Jade Cauldron has finally figured out that the Five Elements Academy is a bastard trying to get a handle on the weight. They are determined and cannot be expected to give in.
The Five Elements Academy has obviously decided on them. Knowing that the Titan Academy is in urgent need of these rough stones, it is trying to keep them in check. Not giving them money? Sure, then don't even think about shipping them.
Grand Bachelor Jade Cauldron stared directly at Grand Bachelor Shen Guang: "Fellow Taoist Shen Guang, is it true that the friendship between your two families doesn't show any affection at all?"
Shenguang University Scholar said: "Of course it comes down to human feelings, but business is still business. If Yuding University Scholar has to say this, I am not unreasonable. In this way, this is not the first time we have done business.
I’ll give you a 50% discount for the first time. This is already a very big favor. I believe you, Bachelor Jiang Ling, can also understand.”
95% off, this should be the final concession from the Five Elements Academy.
The morale of Yuding University is trembling, but there is nothing that can be done. The original stone is in the hands of Five Elements Academy, which is equivalent to being stuck in the neck. Even if he is full of anger, there is nothing he can do if he wants to ask for help.
After all, Titan Academy really needs these rough stones.
"Okay, okay, it seems that it's hard for our Titan Academy to recognize this dumb guy."
The Grand Bachelor of Jade Cauldron had finally figured out the other party's bottom line, and said loudly, "I have made the decision. I will personally pay for this loss for Taitan Academy first. Please arrange the shipment today, fellow Taoist Shenguang. How about that?"
?”
"Haha, as long as the transaction funds are received, the delivery will be done in minutes."
As the second-ranked Grand Master with the Purple Gold Ribbon in the Titan Academy, Grand Bachelor Jade Cauldron has been a giant in the Titan Academy for hundreds of years. He can obviously afford a personal fortune of millions of gold coins.
But whether he paid for it personally is another matter.
Grand Master Jade Cauldron was really unambiguous. He immediately asked the Five Elements Academy to come up with the transaction contract, and then both parties signed it again and paid the money on the spot. During the entire process, Grand Master Jade Cauldron no longer showed any negative emotions.
This shows how urgent the Titan Academy's need for this batch of goods is.
After the delivery of the gold coins was completed and the receipt was received, Grand Scholar Yuding said calmly: "Fellow Taoist Shenguang, I have spent all my personal money on this delivery. I hope you will not delay and break your promise again. This time, even if I
Even if your territory is attacked again, the money has been paid, and the Titan Academy will also receive the news."
Although he didn't say it clearly, Yu Ding's tone obviously meant something.
How exactly a few members of their delegation died has not yet been determined. The Titan Academy has not ruled out the possibility of the Five Elements Academy being a gangster.
If the Five Elements Academy wanted to continue playing this trick, it would not be so easy to default on the debt this time. Because of the transaction information, he had already sent it back to the Titan Academy through tricks.
To a certain extent, this is a threat, a warning, and a beating. At the same time, it also has some self-protection implications.
What if the attack on the Titan Academy delegation was caused by the Five Elements Academy?
This beating was naturally a warning to them not to repeat their old tricks. He, the Grand Bachelor of the Jade Cauldron, was not one of those representatives, so it would not be that easy to attack him.
Even if you succeed, don't even think about continuing to default on your debt.
Grand Scholar Shenguang said indifferently: "Is there something in Brother Yuding's words? Why, this is because he doesn't trust the business integrity of our Five Elements Academy. In this case, why does Taitan Academy have to do this business with my Five Elements Academy? To do business?
I’m not trying to be an enemy, but I don’t want a business deal to destroy the friendship between our two families.”
"Okay, no need to gossip, please arrange the delivery."
Paying for it privately actually represents the attitude of Grand Bachelor Jade Cauldron and Titan Academy. It means they have not given up the pursuit of the money.
The millions of gold coins used to purchase the rough stones, Titan Academy will never suffer such a dumb loss. No matter what is eaten, it must be vomited out.
Bachelor Shenguang is really very principled. When the gold coins are available, he immediately orders full shipment.
A million gold coins of raw stones is a huge amount. Moreover, Titan Academy has specific requirements for the whereabouts of the raw stones. In addition to the teleportation formation, there are two batches that need to be sent to their designated passage locations.
To the surface world.
The Five Elements Academy only values money. Once the money is in place, anything can be done easily. Doesn't it mean that it can be delivered wherever it goes? Whether it's a teleportation formation or an escort team, the cost is all borne by the Titan Academy anyway, so naturally they don't care.
Finally, the wrangling here is finally over.
But seeing the unconcealed scowl on Grand Master Jade Cauldron's face when he left, Grand Master Shui Jing still reminded him: "Chief, I think the Titan Academy will definitely not suffer the loss of being dumb."
The Shenguang University Scholar said: "If they don't eat, do we have to eat? Do you get the money? Or do I get it? Or does it flow into the palace account? None. I even doubt whether they have a pen with them.
It’s hard to tell the money. He just wants to use this to blackmail us. Since he can’t blackmail us, why don’t he just pay the money? I estimate that this money is the real payment. It’s not from his own pocket at all.”
In his opinion, the Titan Academy was all drama queens and had long been prepared to extort the millions of gold coins. It was only his firm attitude that prevented the other party from succeeding, so he just paid the money obediently.
If his attitude softens even slightly, the Five Elements Academy will suffer a big loss.
But Bachelor Shui Jing was still worried and said: "I think they really lost the money, and Yuding's attitude doesn't look like he was acting. But we did not get the money, so
The losses will certainly not be borne by us."
"Haha, it doesn't matter anymore. What Titan Academy lacks is not one million gold coins, but raw stones. As long as they need the raw stones, they will have to suffer this loss. The raw stones are in our hands, we can't let them do it."
"Having said that, I'm afraid of enmity."
"No matter how we make enemies, how can we have as much hatred as when we first started the war? When we fought until the end of the war, we all wanted to extinguish the other party's reputation, but now? Aren't we happily sitting together talking about business?"
"Chief's advice, my situation is too small and my vision is limited." Grand Master Shui Jing said with a wry smile.
"Haha, you can't say that. But I still say what I said, Titan Academy can't swallow us in one gulp, and we don't need to be afraid of Titan Academy. Even if Titan Academy is unhappy, it is impossible to fight with us now.
. Now Taiyi Academy hates them to death. If Titan Academy turns against us, it will be equivalent to restoring the past structure and prompting us to join forces with Taiyi Academy again. "
From a general perspective, this is indeed the case. And if Five Elements Academy wants to form an alliance with Taiyi Academy, Taiyi Academy will really not refuse now.
"But we are at odds with Taiyi Academy now. The two envoys were killed for no apparent reason, and we haven't washed away the dirty water yet. Taiyi Academy has been in a state of distress recently, and we can't separate ourselves from it.
Let’s worry about these…”
"What are you fussing about? Taoist fellow Jiuxiu is not stupid. He doesn't know that someone is throwing dirty water behind his back. Isn't this method exactly the same as their original situation? Even if they want to bear a grudge, it will be on the head of Taitan Academy. No matter what,
"Okay, let's not think about this for now. The suggestion you made last time to recruit strong people from the private sector has been going on recently. Are there many people coming to join us?"
"It has just been a day or two, and the news has not yet spread completely. However, people from nearby private elites have come to sign up for the assessment. The list is currently being collected. After the list is confirmed, some investigations into their identities and origins need to be done.
.Chief, this matter does not have a cycle of one or two months, and I am afraid it will be difficult to complete it completely."
"No rush, no rush, you can accept it in two or three months. What we want is not temporary thugs, but partners who can work together for a long-term cause. Only when the top experts from the private sector really come to invest, can the three golden groups
The geniuses have a sense of crisis. Otherwise, they think that the Five Elements Academy is something they can enter anytime they want, so where is the aura of the Academy?"
Although Archbishop Shenguang himself is also a leader of the Abyss Clan and is a bloodline of the three golden tribes of the Five Elements Academy, he is the chief of the Five Elements Academy, so his main position is naturally to give priority to the Five Elements Academy, followed by the bloodline of the golden clan.
identity.
The children of the three golden ethnic groups do not have a particularly strong sense of attachment to the Academy, and their participation is not high enough. This has always been a big problem for the Five Elements Academy.
In the final analysis, they still feel that the Five Elements Academy is their own place, and they can enter at any time if they want. When entering, they have to make some adjustments and even bargain, in order to seek more benefits and a higher status.
But if private experts also come in to participate, the catfish effect will come.
The Five Elements Academy is not a private place for the children of the Three Academy Palaces, and the position is not reserved for them, waiting for them to come at any time.
If you don't come, the position will be taken by private experts. Don't blame the academy for not leaving a door open for you. It's because you don't cherish it.
This kind of healthy competition will undoubtedly bring more enthusiasm.
I have to say that this move is very good. And the Five Elements Academy does have the financial resources to support it now. Don’t underestimate the cost of recruiting a master.
Not to mention the Purple Ribbon Bachelor, even the recruitment of ordinary bachelors requires all kinds of food, drink, housing, transportation, family arrangements, high salaries, etc., which is not a small expense.
If these are not up to a certain level, real masters will not be attracted. Masters have the stature and price of masters.
Therefore, this is a long-term development measure and cannot be rushed. Once completed, the power structure of the Five Elements Academy will not only be greatly improved, but also become more optimized and reasonable.
Just imagine, if the Five Elements Academy could have two more purple-gold ribbon-belt grandmaesters, five or six more gold-ribbon-belt grandmaesters, twenty or thirty more ordinary bachelors, plus a group of outstanding middle-level bachelors, what would be the improvement in strength?
