Chapter 778: Form an alliance! Huluwus unlimited support for Qinjin Fan! 5100
Kinoshita Rin finished speaking.
The inside and outside of the dojo were once again surrounded by silence - to be more precise, it turned into a dead silence frozen by extreme shock.
Qingden realized that he still underestimated the old woman in front of him.
This old woman is not only a family member of the "Hidden Sword Master" Kinoshita Genichi, but she also has a close connection with the "Eternal Sword Master" Ogata Issei.
What a terrible connection!
Of course, compared to "Kinoshita Rin and Ogata Issei knew each other", it is what she just said "Ogata Issei summarized and defined 'situation'", "Ogata Issei can freely control 'situation'"
”, which surprised Qingdeng even more.
Ogata Yishi summarized and defined "shi" - although Aoto was surprised by this, he could understand it.
Who was the first person to propose and carry forward the concept of "shi"?
Regarding this question, the martial arts community has always had divergent opinions.
Among them, one of the most mainstream hypotheses is Ogata Issei.
Since we want to study "potential" and define "potential", the most important condition is to first become a top expert who can release "potential" and sense "potential".
In terms of strength and power, who can compare with the "Eternal Sword Master"?
Kinoshita Rin's words just now confirmed that "Ogata Issei is the developer of 'Shi'" is not a hypothesis, but a solid fact.
Just releasing the "power" can make most people faint because they can't bear the pressure - Qingdeng can understand this.
After all, he himself had a similar personal experience.
Nowadays, every time he shows off his "power", he can make ordinary people feel uncomfortable all over, their heartbeat speeds up, and they break out in cold sweats.
People with slightly weaker willpower may even be unable to stand firmly.
Even strong-willed people will inevitably suffer repercussions.
The battle just now is the best evidence.
Under normal circumstances, the heroes of Calabash House headed by Katakura Takanobu are not people lacking in physical strength.
However, just because Qingdeng released his "power" and intensified their physical exertion, the flaws were revealed so quickly, allowing Qingdeng to defeat them one by one.
As long as Qingdeng continues to hone himself, given time, his "power" will be able to reach the level of "stunning others"!
However, to control the "potential" at will, concentrate the "potential", and then explode it instantly... To be honest, Qingden can't even imagine this kind of ability!
What exactly do you need to do to be able to control the "potential" like an arm and a finger?
Not to mention he understood, he didn't even have a clue!
This is like letting him control the fuzz on his cheeks with his own thoughts - how is this possible!
Kinoshita Rin is a strange woman who built a huge business group called Calabash House from scratch.
A hero like her is not the kind of frivolous person who likes to brag and talk nonsense.
So Qingden didn't think the other party was bluffing him.
Thanks to Kinoshita Rin's explanation, I have a completely new understanding of Ogata Issei and Kinoshita Genichi - the two big figures who saw Shenlong but never saw its end - Aomori.
In terms of individual contributions alone, Ogata Issei and Kinoshita Genichi truly deserve the reputation of "Sword Masters".
One developed a completely new breathing method.
The other is to clarify the concept of "potential".
Before Kinoshita Genichi, the breathing method only stayed at the stage of "calmness and calmness".
Not to mention Ogata Yoshi, he brought the level of human martial arts research to a higher level.
Qingdeng couldn't help but think to himself:
——These two people are probably also time-travelers with plug-ins, right...?
Just when he was still immersed in thinking and unable to extricate himself, Kinoshita Lin suddenly broke the silence:
"Oops, no, we seem to have gone off topic."
"Let's get back to the point."
"An Yi, I have seen your strength with my own eyes."
"Then let's talk about business."
When Qingdeng heard this, he immediately cheered up and straightened his back subconsciously.
The highlight of this "Osaka trip" is finally here!
"'The alliance between Qinjin Fan and Huluwu'... is a good idea."
"To be honest, I'm quite interested in your plan - of course, it's just 'interested'."
“Otsu is a blessed land rich in resources.
"If you can get the financial support from my Calabash House, your Qinjin clan will be completely transformed."
"In less than two years, he will become a powerful nation with astonishing national power."
"This is indeed a great benefit to you."
"But, what benefits can we, Calabash House, get from it?"
"I don't like the kind of loss-making transactions where there is no money to be made or things that don't go as planned."
After Qingdeng heard this, his heart trembled.
How could he not know what Kinoshita Lin meant?
On the one hand, she reminded Qingdeng: Don’t even think about prostitution for nothing!
But on the other hand, she bluntly hinted to Qingdeng that she was "interested" in the cooperation between the two parties.
As for whether you succeed in the end, it all depends on your subsequent performance.
Although Aoto is a close disciple of Kuro, he also has a special relationship of "quasi-couple" with Mai Kinoshita. In this way, Aoto can be regarded as half of Kinoshita Rin's own.
However, in the face of naked interests, all emotions and all ties are nothing.
What's more, Kinoshita Rin is also a businessman.
Youdao is "Businessmen value profits".
If you don't show sincerity and substantial benefits, don't even think about impressing her!
Qingdeng had made corresponding mental preparations early in the morning, so he didn't panic.
He thought about his words for a moment, and then said seriously:
"Miss Kinoshita, I have always despised 'benefiting oneself at the expense of others' and only focus on 'win-win'."
"Since I dare to propose this plan, then I have the confidence to make both you and me benefit from it!"
Kinoshita Lin smiled slightly:
"Oh? Then tell me about it. Let me hear your idea of 'win-win'."
Qingdeng took a deep breath and then spoke.
Regarding how to persuade Kinoshita Rin, Seito held numerous meetings with Hijikata Toshizo, Shannan Keisuke and others in advance to discuss countermeasures.
Qingdeng has always believed that nothing cannot be negotiated. If there is, then increase the stakes!
After repeated discussions, Qingdeng and others finally settled on the "final bargaining chip."
To put it simply, it adopts a "dividend system" and allows Huluwu to have certain privileges when carrying out commercial activities in Qinjin Domain!
The former is easy to understand - as long as Huluwu is willing to invest, it will directly receive a certain proportion of returns from Qinjin Fan's next series of revenue activities based on the amount of investment.
As for the latter, it is also easy to understand.
There are not many developable commodities and land in Qinjin Domain.
If Huluwu wants to carry out commercial activities within the Qinjin Domain, it will have various privileges such as tax reductions and even tax exemptions.
According to the calculations of Ayoto and others, if Kinoshita Rin can agree to their conditions, the financial income she can earn every year will be at least tens of thousands!
It won't take long for the cost to be recovered.
Aoto, Hijikata Toshizo, Shannan Keisuke and others all agreed: No businessman can resist this temptation!
Qingnobo was confident that Kinoshita Rin would appreciate it and agree, successfully promoting the alliance between the two parties.
However... when he began to elaborate on the terms of his cooperation, Kinoshita Rin's reaction made him feel uneasy...
No matter what he said, no matter how energetic he said it, the other person's facial expression never changed - there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were staring straight into his eyes as if to see through.
After a while, Qingdeng finished speaking.
As soon as he finished speaking, Kinoshita Lin spoke quietly:
"Hmm...not bad."
"You are indeed very concerned about today's meeting."
"In order to persuade me, you and your staff must have worked hard."
"I have to say that the conditions you proposed are quite tempting."
"It's really surprising that you are willing to make such a big concession."
"After listening to it, I couldn't help but feel a little moved."
"only……"
Hearing this, Qingdeng's heart skipped a beat.
Anyone with a little common sense knows that "but" and the words after "but" are the most important.
"To me, such conditions are still a little short of the mark."
As she spoke, she stretched out her right thumb and index finger and made a "little bit" gesture.
“Although I dare not make the bold statement ‘I have more money than I can use up’, I am indeed not short of money.”
"So, please forgive me - if only this level of conditions is met, then our Huluwu will not form an alliance with your Qinjin clan."
Kinoshita Rin’s meaning is obvious: the conditions are not enough!
Qingdeng's face changed slightly after hearing this, but he quickly adjusted his facial expression under the influence of his talent "Emperor's Art".
From the beginning, he did not think that today's talks could end quickly, nor did he think that he and Kinoshita Rin would reach a satisfactory consensus in one fell swoop.
——It looks like... it's going to turn into a protracted war.
The conditions he just laid out are far from his "negotiation bottom line" and there is still plenty of room for negotiation.
So, he collected himself and spoke again:
"In that case, how about this——"
Qingdeng set out new conditions.
After hearing this, Kinoshita Rin quickly responded - a firm refusal.
Qingdeng set out new conditions.
And then got rejected again…
…
…
Time passes.
In the blink of an eye, the minute hand in the clock has gone through a full circle.
Although a long period of time has passed, the talks between the two have still not gotten rid of the deadlock.
Qingdeng constantly throws out new and increasingly generous conditions.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that he has shown sincerity, which can be said to be full of sincerity.
However, Kinoshita Rin never changed her attitude and reply: refuse, refuse, refuse again...
After the new conditions were rejected, even with the blessing of the "Emperor's Art", Qingdeng couldn't help but look confused, and his expression gradually became ugly.
The conditions he is currently proposing have almost reached his "negotiation bottom line"!
If we make further profit concessions, then Qin Jin Fan will have no money to make!
Since there is no profit, why cooperate?
——It’s too greedy to refuse to agree to such a good condition...
Thinking of this, Qingdeng couldn't help but feel resentful.
He thinks that the series of conditions he has offered now are good enough, and he is about to praise Huluwu as the royal merchant and privileged merchant of their Qinjin clan.
If it were other businessmen, faced with such favorable conditions, they would have agreed long ago.
Ever since, he couldn't help but speculate:
——Could it be that...she had no intention of cooperating with me from the beginning, so she has been teasing me and playing tricks on me, right?
——What kind of conditions should be offered to satisfy her?
——The most touching conditions are those that just meet the needs of others... So, what does she need?
Qingdeng was no longer in a hurry to speak.
Instead, he remained silent and thought.
Kinoshita Rin did not rush, she still looked calm with a smile on her lips, letting Qingto think slowly.
Boss Kiryu seemed to have anticipated the current situation.
He half-closed his eyes, calmly and calmly, without saying a word and without any intention of helping Qingdeng.
Kinoshita Mai was very nervous.
One side is the "husband's family", the other side is the natal family... She was caught in the middle and was at a loss, not knowing which side to support.
——What should we do? Should we continue to improve the conditions? Or...
Qingdeng frowned slightly and racked his brains.
At this moment, a flash of lightning seemed to flash through his mind, and he suddenly remembered what Kinoshita Lin had just said:
(I don’t like the kind of loss-making transactions where there is no money to be made or things that don’t go as planned)
——"unsatisfactory"...
Immediately afterwards, he remembered what Boss Kiryu had said to him in a serious and thoughtful tone:
(Lord, although she is a businessman, she is not an ordinary businessman. If she is the kind of selfish person who only cares about making money and does not care about other things, she will not become a mortal enemy of the Fa Zun Party. Therefore, if you only regard her as that
If you are a pure businessman who has no profit and can't afford to start early, and is only interested in profit, you will suffer big losses.)
Qingdeng felt that he had caught something.
Soon, a "cool breeze" dispelled the fog in his mind, and his brain suddenly became clear.
"...Miss Kinoshita, what do you think of this - as long as Calabash House is willing to fund us, then Qinjin Domain will become the bridgehead against the Fa Zhu Party! Spare no effort to attack the Fa Zhu Party!"
At this moment, Kinoshita Lin's facial expression finally changed.
She raised her eyebrows, her eyes lit up, and she made an interested voice:
"oh?"
Boss Kiryu also changed his expression.
He raised his half-closed eyelids, raised his gaze, and cast an appreciative look at Qingdeng, saying, "You are a teachable boy."
Qingdeng said calmly and seriously:
"As far as I know, you are very hostile to the Fanzhu Party and have an undying blood feud with each other."
"It just so happens that I also have deep conflicts with the FaZhu Party."
"Therefore, at the level of 'fighting the law and punishing the party,' you and I have the same interests and demands."
"To be honest, I don't know much about this evil party."
"However, based on the information I know so far and judging from the various performances of the Fa Zun Party, I dare to conclude that they are by no means rogue gangsters!"
"They definitely have a stable base!"
"Maybe there is also a very powerful military force!"
"The opponent is both powerful and cunning... Since we want to destroy a powerful enemy, then 'making allies' is a good choice. The more allies, the better."
"Miss Kinoshita, what I say next may be a bit harsh - if Calabash House had the ability to eliminate the Fa Punishment Party on its own, then the latter would not have been at large for so long."
"After all, you are just a business group and cannot develop military power in an open and honest manner - but I can!"
Qingdeng suddenly raised his tone, full of momentum, and his words were filled with strong confidence.
"I am the Lord of the Qinjin Domain, the envoy of Gyeonggi Town, the Eighth Prince with a Thousand People of One Heart, and the two legions of the Shinsengumi and the Eighth Prince of a Thousand People of One Heart. I have 5,000 troops directly under my command!"
"I have soldiers, but no money."
"You have money, but no soldiers."
“We are extremely complementary!”
"Ms. Kinoshita, in order to eliminate the Punishment Party, please become my ally - not a business partner who 'makes money together', but a comrade who 'works together to fight against the Punishment Party'!"
After finishing speaking, Qingdeng stared straight at the old woman in front of him, anxiously waiting for her reply.
If even such conditions cannot be met, then he is really at his wits end!
Qingdeng: "..."
Kinoshita Lin: "..."
The old man and the young man just stared at each other, no one made a move or spoke.
Fortunately, this strange situation did not last long.
After a while, Kinoshita Lin slowly raised her head and shouted outside:
"Here comes someone!"
In the blink of an eye, footsteps coming from far and near came from outside:
"My lord, please give me your instructions."
"Call Jiaqing, quickly."
"yes!"
Boss Kiryu explained to Aonto:
"Jiaqing is the master's think tank and right-hand man. His full name is the best Jiaqing."
"His position in Calabash House is similar to that of a country's prime minister, and he is decisive in killing people, so he is called the 'killing prime minister'."
Not long after, a thin, middle-aged man with half-white beard and hair pushed open the door and appeared in front of Qingdeng and others.
"My lord, what are your orders?"
The middle-aged man...that is, the best Jia Qing asked bluntly.
Kinoshita Lin said calmly without sadness or joy:
"From today on, Huluwu will enter into an alliance with the Qinjin clan, and the two parties will form a military alliance."
Mo Shangjiaqing raised an eyebrow:
"'Military alliance'? Please forgive me for asking, how long will this alliance last? What kind of help will we give Qinjin Fan during the alliance?"
As expected of the "Prime Minister" of Calabash House, he didn't say any nonsense, and all the questions he raised went straight to the core.
"No limit."
"……What?"
Mogami opened his eyes wide and asked in disbelief.
At the same time, both Qingdou and Kinoshita Mai also changed their expressions, both showing expressions of shock as they suspected that they had heard wrongly.
Only Boss Kiryu shrugged his shoulders with a "Sure enough" expression on his face.
Under the gaze of everyone, Kinoshita Lin remained calm and said slowly:
"There is no upper limit. There is no upper limit to our assistance to Qinjin Fan. We will give them whatever they want! The alliance between the two parties will continue until the Fa Zhu Party is completely eliminated!"

Generally speaking, the basic popular saying in negotiations is "ask for a high price and then pay back the money".
It's just that if Bao Baozi writes down the process of "sitting down and paying back the money" in detail, there will be a bunch of book friends there who will write "water, water, water".
So Baobaozi directly skipped the process of "sitting down and paying back the money".
Aoto quickly raised the bottom line of his negotiation, and then was rejected by Kinoshita Rin. Then Aoto "awakened" and quickly finalized the cooperation-all in one go. It was easy for me to write, and it was easy for my book friends to read, a win-win situation!
