"Butler Huang, farewell to Black Rock City. It's been a long time since I last saw you. I didn't expect you to turn into a bandit here." Li Jia.
"I am not a housekeeper. I am now the general manager of Toad Village. There is no need to mention the past." Huang Sanyuan.
"What a pity, what a pity." Li Jia sighed: "Why don't you see Mr. Cheng..."
"The boss is so busy with important matters that he won't care about such trivial matters." Huang Sanyuan said: "If you have anything to do, it's the same as talking to me."
The characteristic of Chinese people's negotiation is to avoid the truth and avoid the truth. It seems that whoever states the purpose first will be inferior to the other person. Huang Sanyuan and Li Jia are working together, and no one talks about the topic. Fortunately, Huang Sanyuan is good at doing these things, and he is not afraid.
And Li Jia Moji.
Li Jia still wanted to meet Cheng Dalei in his heart. This toad king who was rumored to be a miraculous person had no idea what his true appearance was.
Now only Xu Shenji and Huang Sanyuan were sent to negotiate with him. It was obvious that he did not take him seriously. The Toad King was really mysterious.
After debating for countless times, we finally got to the topic of today: How much ransom is required to get a birthday gift?
"City Master Xue is willing to spend 20,000 yuan to redeem the birthday gift. This money is also a great kindness from City Master Xue, and it is guaranteed by my face."
"Ha, City Master Xue has really thought well. Those birthday gifts sold will probably cost more than this amount."
"Manager Huang, please don't forget that these birthday gifts were stolen by you and they don't belong to you in the first place."
"Gang Leader Li, don't forget that we are bandits, and whatever we steal is ours."
"You only have six people in Toad Village. If you don't give me this money, it's not impossible to level up Toad Village."
"But there are only six of us, and we also stole one of Lu Heng's troops."
The two of them went back and forth, playing some verbal tricks. One wanted to raise the number, and the other wanted to lower the number. It could be said to be a verbal spat.
Huang Sanyuan glanced at Li Jia with disdain in his heart and thought: You and I are still far from talking about this!
"So how much does Mr. Huang want?" Li Jia wanted to get a feel for Huang Sanyuan.
"That depends on how much power Gang Leader Li has." Huang Sanyuan's psychological value is 30,000 yuan, but his cunning will not be easily exposed.
Li Jia scolded the old fox and sighed: "If Mr. Huang can't be the master, he should invite Mr. Cheng out."
"I'll just come and talk to you." Huang Sanyuan smiled.
Boo!
The door of the house was suddenly kicked open, and Li Jia was shocked to see a tall man with a beard rushing in carrying a big axe.
Could it be that this man is the Toad King who eats human flesh and drinks human blood every day? He really looks ferocious.
Li Jia's heart was agitated. Could it be that the other party wanted to do something evil to him?
"You...what do you want to do!"
boom!
"I don't like bargaining. The ransom is 100,000 yuan." Cheng Dalei slammed his ax on the table: "Do you agree or not?"
Beads of sweat broke out on Li Jia's forehead. He was indeed a cannibal of human flesh. If he didn't agree, the ax would hit him on the head.
"I promise, I promise..."
Toot, received fear value 199
Toot, received fear value 288
Toot, received fear value 266
"Okay, Huang Sanyuan continues to talk to them!"
Cheng Dalei left the house with a big ax on his shoulder. As soon as he returned to his room, he fetched water to wash off the black dust and fake beard on his face. In fact, he felt happy.
Sure enough, it worked. In this wave, I received a fear value of less than 1,000. It seems that I have found the right method. If this continues, the task of collecting 10,000 fear points will not be difficult to complete.
In the earthen house, after Cheng Dalei left, Li Jia and his two followers wiped the sweat from their foreheads.
Huang Sanyuan narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Then it's settled, you bring a hundred thousand ransom, and Toad Village will return the birthday gift."
"Wait a minute." A person next to Li Jia said. He was not from the Wild Wolf Gang, but to be precise, he was from Xue Banchuan.
"What, you want to regret it?" Xu Shenji said.
At this time, the three of them dared to go back on their word and no longer wanted it. Li Jia and his two companions murmured, and Li Jia said: "The problem is... we can't get one hundred thousand coins."
It's always been one thousand coins, and one hundred thousand coins is one million copper coins. Don't look at Xue Banchuan as the lord of a city, he can't afford so much cash. He just got the position of the lord of Blackstone City, and he has to spend money in many places. Cash is
He doesn't have much to grow. And the birthday gifts are only worth more than 30,000 guan after all. The number of 100,000 guan is really a big deal for the lions in Toad Village.
After saying this, Li Jia felt a little nervous, maybe he would offend the other party.
"No problem, can we pay in installments?"
"Pay in installments?" Li Jia and the others were confused, having never heard of this word.
"We've thought about it for you." Huang Sanyuan snapped his fingers and showed the attitude of a third-rate financial manager: "If you don't have cash, you can use grain, salt, and cloth to pay off the debt, as long as you pay enough for the down payment. As for the interest?
From now on, we will charge 20% of the interest on any convoy that passes under Toad Ridge until the principal is paid off in full."
Li Jia couldn't quite understand Huang Sanyuan's words, including the two people sent by Xue Banchuan behind him. He didn't blame them. If he could only blame them, he could only blame the poor education level in this era. How could he expect a gang leader to understand what equal quotas meant?
Principal, equal amounts of principal and interest. But Li Jia did understand one thing, that is, as long as he pays 30%, which is 30,000 guan, he can take away all the birthday gifts. As for the subsequent debts, what can you do if I don't pay them back...
It must be said that Li Jia's way of thinking is very simple.
"If there is no problem, let's sign the contract." Huang Sanyuan and Xu Shenji took out a thick stack of paper and looked prepared: "The contract is in two copies. After you sign it, give it to Xue Banchuan for his signature and seal.
Once you collect the down payment, you can take the birthday gift."
After that, the two sides discussed some detailed rules, such as how much copper coins one stone of grain is equal to, how much the price of salt and iron is, and how to implement the specific delivery...
We talked about these tedious things until very late, and finally Li Jia left with a thick stack of contracts. When leaving Toad Village, Li Jia didn't quite understand whether he had completed the task entrusted by Xue Banchuan.
Dalei had been thinking about some things for a long time. Naturally, the village relied on robbery for a living. After two consecutive battles, Toad Village also made its own reputation. For a long time, Toad Village no longer had to consider safety issues.
But what should we do if we dry up the lake, burn the forest for hunting, and continue to rob and no one passes down the mountain? So we still have to take a long-term approach to catch big fish. Cheng Dalei doesn't want to cut off the transportation artery between Luoye City and Black Rock City.
Although Cheng Dalei lives in Toad Ridge, he is still worried about the economic problems of Blackstone City and Luoye City.
Of course, this way of making money while lying down requires the support of strength, and the strength of Toad Village is obviously not enough now.
