The professor has never seen anyone so generous. After all, when the organization's funds were tight before, it couldn't even pay out basic allowances. Many people who were wavering simply quit and disappeared.
In the end, the remaining dozens of people have been able to survive with great difficulty only because of their passion and belief in the organization.
In order to raise funds, they thought of many ways, borrowing loan sharks, doing anything from smuggling.
Once when I was soliciting sponsorship, I almost got arrested. After a lucky escape, I arrested the rich man and extorted more than two million US dollars in retaliation.
That was the first time the professor saw so much cash, a heavy bag of dollars.
Now another large bag of US dollars in cash was placed in front of him, and the shock this time was even stronger than the first time he saw it.
Because the bag in front of me contained five million U.S. dollars. The bag was so full that it almost burst. After the zipper was opened, bundles of U.S. dollar bills couldn't wait to squeeze out.
Qin Yi patted the heavy travel bag and said, "For the first sponsorship, please click."
The professor looked at the bag, then at Qin Yi, and was silent for a few seconds, "Are you serious?"
"Do you think I'm acting with you here?" Qin Yi said impatiently, "If you don't want to cooperate with me, then I will leave now and we will continue to fight in the future."
"No, I didn't mean that." The professor quickly denied, "It's just that we had friction many times before, which caused a lot of unhappiness."
"That's all a misunderstanding. Can't we just let it go?" Qin Yi sighed, "I like to make peace and make money. Continuing to fight will do no good to anyone. Cooperation will benefit both sides."
The professor nodded, there was nothing wrong with that.
The only concern in his mind was that the Mr. Zhao in front of him was really hard for him to figure out, and he acted too unreasonably.
If he had a choice, he would definitely stay away from this guy and never provoke him.
It's a pity that I was confused at the time and got into so much trouble.
Fortunately, Mr. Zhao is a smart man and directly proposed to resolve the misunderstanding and cooperate again.
In addition, Mr. Zhao is too generous, and this is a rare stable funding channel for their organization.
What's more, he killed Ramo, who was their sponsor.
If it wasn't for money, why take such a big risk to steal the three artifacts?
When the buyer asked why he spent a billion dollars to collect the stolen goods, the professor didn't take it seriously at all.
Anyone who works in this industry knows that the actual value and the value of stolen goods are completely different.
Put the thing in that mouth and blow it for as much as you want. Once you get it, you can't sell it even if you want to take it out even at a discount.
But even $100 million is a huge sum of money for an organization.
Ramo, the drug lord, only sponsors them with US$10 million per year, but the organization has to settle a lot of messes for Ramo.
Now that Mr. Zhao has spent more money, it goes without saying how to choose.
…
After dawn, the professor got up after resting for a few hours. After a quick wash, he was about to go out.
The professor wanted to get Mr. Zhao's affairs done quickly, so he specially called two people to take care of the messenger.
And he rushed to the church with Mr. Zhao to meet others.
Yes, he wants to take Mr. Zhao with him.
Because Mr. Zhao never left, staring closely at the professor, almost inseparable.
I couldn't tell whether it was a threat or an enthusiasm for cooperation, but the professor couldn't get rid of him.
In order to appease the professor's discomfort, Mr. Zhao gave him another US$500,000 personally.
The two of them walked into the church in silence without saying anything.
The priest who led the professor last time appeared at the door and looked at Qin Yi with some surprise.
"Why is there an extra person?"
"This is a distinguished guest." The professor replied, "I brought him in to discuss something very important."
"You never told me that you would bring others here." The priest frowned, "This is against the rules."
"Rules are made by people." The professor sighed, "It is really important to obey authority when urgent matters arise."
The priest was full of doubts, hesitated for a moment, turned around and walked ahead to lead the way.
When the professor opened the door to the prayer room and walked in, several people sitting inside looked at the people he brought in with astonishment on their faces.
"Professor, who is he?"
"Why did you bring an outsider in? Have you forgotten the rules?"
"What on earth happened?"
Faced with the fierce questioning from everyone, the professor calmed them down with just three words.
"This is Mr. Zhao. He is willing to join our organization."
"He donated 10 million US dollars in cash and 10 million US dollars in arms, and his annual sponsorship amount is no less than 20 million US dollars."
"He helped us get the three artifacts."
There was silence in the prayer room for a moment. Everyone took a breath and looked at Qin Yi with a sudden change of expression.
Qin Yi took a step forward and placed the package in his hand on the bench, "These are the three artifacts."
Then he put down a large travel bag and said, "This is the first sponsorship amount, five million US dollars."
The lawyer was silent for a long time, turned to look at the professor, and asked in shock: "Is this true?"
"I have checked the three artifacts." The professor nodded seriously, "The Amancong Cloud Sword and the Yata Mirror are both fakes. They should have been forged in the late Heian period and early Kamakura period."
The gentleman next to him suddenly became excited, "What about magatama?"
"The magatama should be real." The professor smiled, "It is a very typical carving method of the Han Dynasty. It should be the handiwork of Han Dynasty craftsmen."
"Yes, yes!" The lawyer clapped his hands excitedly, "That's right. It is impossible to test whether the earliest magatama is this one, but if it is an antiquities from the Han Dynasty, it is enough to prove that it is the original."
"God bless you." A pastor next to him said excitedly, "I finally got the thing."
Qin Yi suddenly laughed and reached out to pick up the package containing the eight-foot magatama. "Professor, it seems that you are not telling the truth to me. It seems that your goal has been this one thing from beginning to end."
When the others saw Qin Yi picking up the package, their expressions suddenly changed, and they all yelled: "What are you going to do? Put your things down quickly!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The professor looked pale and stretched out his hand to stop others, "Everyone, calm down first and don't be impulsive."
"Put it down quickly!" The lawyer reached out excitedly and pulled out a pistol. The professor quickly stepped forward and held down the lawyer's hand, "Put it away quickly, you are crazy!"
The lawyer looked at the professor in disbelief, "What are you doing? You traitor, who are you helping?"
"Of course I'm helping you, idiot!" the professor yelled, "don't anger him, we can't defeat him."
"There are five of us!" the lawyer shouted angrily, "How can we not defeat him?"
"Fifteen of them can't beat him!" The professor was sweating profusely and turned to look at Qin Yi, "Mr. Zhao, put your things down first, and I will give you an explanation."
Qin Yi gently held the package in his arms, "You tell me first, and then I will consider whether to put it down."
The others couldn't help but be anxious, but when they saw the thing in the other person's arms, they were afraid that it might be damaged if there was a conflict.
The professor finally got the others to calm down, "Mr. Zhao, our goal is indeed just this magatama, the other two are just foils."
"No wonder you said you wanted to put those two pieces back. It turned out that you knew those two pieces were fakes from the beginning." Qin Yi looked at the professor with a smile, "Then what are you going to do with this magatama? It's not just for collection.
Bar?"
"Someone is bidding to buy this magatama." The professor said directly.
The others were shocked and angry, and started shouting and cursing.
"Professor, you are crazy, how could you tell him such a confidential matter!"
"You traitor! I already knew something was wrong with you!"
"Professor, what on earth do you want to do?!"
"What do I want to do?!" the professor said loudly, "Of course I do it for the organization and for everyone! At this point, do you think he won't know if we don't tell you? Don't treat others as fools!"
"Mr. Zhao brought the things back. Strictly speaking, they are not ours. You are too rude to Mr. Zhao!"
"Mr. Zhao is very sincere about joining the organization. When we meet, he shouts and kills. This is not in line with the way of hospitality!"
"Well said, I very much agree with what Mr. Professor said." Qin Yi nodded, "I came here with utmost sincerity and passion. Since you don't welcome me, then I'm going to leave?"
At this time, the gentleman hurriedly stood up and said, "Mr. Zhao, it was all a misunderstanding. Don't get excited. Let's sit down and talk slowly."
The professor also stepped forward and grabbed the package in Qin Yi's arms, and persuaded him: "Yes, yes, yes, sit down and talk, sit down and talk."
Qin Yi pondered for two seconds, "Since you are so sincere, let's sit down and talk."
Several people sat down on the chairs, and the gentleman conveniently placed the other two artifacts on the chairs and the bag containing five million US dollars at his feet.
"I'm actually not interested in this thing, I'm just very dissatisfied with your attitude." Qin Yi complained, "I contributed money, effort, and supplies, but you treated me like this, which is really chilling.
.”
"This is indeed their fault, they are reckless." The professor persuaded, "We took this magatama just to resell it to raise funds, and had no other intention. Mr. Zhao must not be interested in this thing either."
"Mr. Zhao spends a lot of money. He looks like a nobleman from a wealthy country. Why would he take a few possessions seriously, right?"
Qin Yi nodded with a smile, and stuffed the package into the professor's arms, "I'm a soft-spoken person, but I don't like hard words. If you talk to me openly, there won't be such misunderstandings."
"Sorry." The professor finally breathed a sigh of relief and handed the package containing magatama to the gentleman's hand.
Seeing that the items had been obtained, everyone felt relieved and the atmosphere gradually relaxed.
The lawyer who had been the most violent at first also put down his gun and abruptly changed the subject, "It's not impossible for Mr. Zhao to want to join the organization, but we have strict organizational procedures and we can't just do it so hastily."
Qin Yi stood up without saying a word, "Give me your money and things, and I'll leave now."
The professor and the gentleman stood up quickly, "Wait a minute, Mr. Zhao, don't worry, we are discussing the procedures for your joining now."
"Yes, Mr. Zhao, we jointly recommend you. It is very easy to join the organization." The gentleman also tried to persuade him, "It's just a matter of following the process."
Qin Yi was a little surprised, "Does your organization still follow procedures?"
The professor coughed and said, "For a well-structured organization, process is an essential part."
"That's right." Qin Yi nodded, "It seems that your organization is well established. It is more formal than other organizations and is well standardized."
"Mr. Zhao, our organization was first established in 1981. It was established by a group of comrades with ideals. After several reorganizations, we have strict organizational disciplines and a clear ideological program." The gentleman began to introduce the organization to Qin Yi.
Situation, "Our organization has members all over the world, with branches in Europe, Africa, North America, and South America. The total number of formal members is more than 400, and there are thousands of peripheral staff. We have established four branches in East Asia..."
"Yes, yes." Qin Yi nodded, "With so many members and multiple branches established, I am very optimistic about the development potential of your organization."
"With Mr. Zhao's financial sponsorship, the organization will be even more powerful and will definitely develop faster." The gentleman gave a small compliment, "We will grant Mr. Zhao the title of honorary director of the organization, which is a senior member of the organization."
"How tall is this senior executive?" Qin Yi suddenly asked, "Is he the same as you?"
"This..." The gentleman was a little stunned. He wanted to be on an equal footing with us as soon as he came in. You must be too greedy.
People need to understand their own position clearly. Who are you? There are just a few bad guys who want to be on equal footing with us.
"Uh." The professor hesitated, "That's right, Mr. Zhao wants to join the Privy Council."
This chapter is not over, please click the next page to continue reading! "This is impossible." The lawyer flatly refused, "The Privy Council is our core leadership, how can we let you, an outsider, join directly, let alone you are not a member of the organization
.”
"Then shall I leave?" Qin Yi stood up again, "Give me back the things and the money."
"Wait a minute, wait a minute!" The professor grabbed Qin Yi and said, "Mr. Zhao, please wait a moment."
The gentleman also stood up and advised, "Mr. Zhao, you are too impatient. Let me explain our organizational structure to you."
"The organization has peripheral members, grassroots members, middle-level backbones, and high-level commanders. The core leader is our Privy Council." The gentleman explained, "We have a total of thirteen Privy Council members, and there are seven in Asia.
"
"These thirteen members are all the earliest backbones who joined the organization and have made significant contributions to the establishment and maintenance of the organization. Each of them is our precious asset and close comrade-in-arms."
"I understand." Qin Yi nodded, "Just tell me, how much does it cost for me to join the Privy Council?"
"..." The gentleman's voice was a little hoarse, "Mr. Zhao, this is not a matter of money. A new member must have an inspection period before joining, and then we will assign tasks and positions based on his ability and contribution."
"Isn't 20 million annual sponsorship not enough?" Qin Yi asked, "Isn't it enough?"
"It's really not about money."
"If I add another ten million, will that be enough?" Qin Yi interrupted the gentleman directly.
"This..." The gentleman turned to look at the professor with a shocked face. The professor had no expression on his face and did not speak.
"I agree in principle." The gentleman coughed.
"Professor agreed, and so did you." Qin Yi turned to look at the others, "I must join the Privy Council today, otherwise I will leave now."
"After I finish speaking, who is in favor and who is against?"
