Chapter 144 Greedy People

When he left the Weilun Manor the next day, Xu Yi offered to ask Patriarch Weilun to give her the two maids who served him yesterday.

Patriarch Wei Lun had this thought in his mind, but now that Xu Yi took the initiative to propose, he was naturally overjoyed. Without further ado, he waved his hand and asked the two maids to serve the new master with all his heart from today onwards. also any meaning.

As for the slave transfer procedures... In the Kingdom of Lampari, you may still need to go through formal procedures, but in the Principality of Standing, slaves are slaves, and there is no difference from ordinary goods. Patriarch Wei Lun said that it was given to Xu Yi. Sent, no one will question anything.

The carriage left the Weilun Manor under the watch of the happy Patriarch Weilun, and drove quickly towards Faraday City, the capital of the Principality of Standing.

Anklu, who was sitting opposite Xu Yi in the car, looked at Xu Yi for a long time, and after a few hesitations, he finally couldn't help but ask: "President Xu, according to what I know about you, shouldn't you be? Someone who cares about beauty? Why would you take the initiative to ask Patriarch Wei Lun for these two maids?"

Xu Yi smiled and said, "Do you think Steele is not beautiful?"

Anklu was stunned, then shook his head again and again: "No, no, I don't mean that at all. Miss Steele is as beautiful as a goddess. President Xu, your eyes are speechless. But from what I have seen in your life. Look, you shouldn't be very interested in this... er... not particularly enthusiastic. And I can see that the two maids are still virgins now, and you probably didn't touch them last night, So I'm very curious, why are you uncharacteristically asking for them?"

Xu Yi was stunned: "You can actually tell that the two of them are still virgins?"

Anklu showed a slightly cocky smile: "Well... an experienced man like me can usually see it. And it's not only me who can see it. I believe Patriarch Wei Lun can definitely see it."

"Can Patriarch Wei Lun also see it?" After receiving an affirmative answer from Anklu. Xu also thought about it. Not only was he no longer surprised, he laughed out loud. "That's great. If Patriarch Wei Lun can see this, it would be better. I asked him for these two maids just to show my attitude. Now he knows that these two maids are still virgins, but I I will still take the initiative to ask him for it, so I will definitely understand my attitude better.”

Anklu frowned slightly: "President Xu, do you mean that you really plan to cooperate with him?"

"Why not?" Xu Yi smiled slightly. "The fruit canning factory and the rubber processing factory I mentioned to you yesterday are not a joke, but I really think these two factories are very promising. When I return to Bangta City, I will be ready to come here and open these two factories. Preparations for a factory. Maybe even… I will open a few more factories.”

Seeing the expression on Anklu's face, Xu also felt a little strange.

"What? Mr. Anklu, haven't you been inviting me to invest in the Principality of Standing? Now I'm willing to invest in a few more factories in addition to the three mines. Why don't you seem very happy? ?"

"No, I'm not unhappy. You can think of another investment, and I will only express a strong welcome on behalf of the Principality of Standing." Anklu hurriedly laughed. "I just have some concerns about Patriarch Wei Lun..."

"Are you worried that he won't be able to cooperate well with me?" Xu Yi asked with a smile.

Anklu gave a wry smile: "President Xu, you are so sensitive. That's right, based on what I know about Patriarch Wei Lun, he is almost useless except for greed, and has no outstanding ability at all. Cooperation is very worried. I am worried that he may ruin your affairs, and instead make you lose confidence in our principality."

"Greedy? Greed is good. I'm afraid he's not greedy." Xu Yi smiled and didn't care much. "The greedy person has a clearer goal, but it is easier to deal with. As long as Patriarch Wei Lun is not too greedy to the point of excessive greed, I think my cooperation with him should be very pleasant."

Anklu could only continue to smile bitterly: "I'm afraid that he will be too greedy. President Xu, you may not know much about the characters of these great nobles in our duchy. Guys like Patriarch Wei Lun can't wait to give everything away. Put them all into his arms. Don't look at how close he is to you now, but for the sake of profit, he may turn his face at any time."

Hearing the helplessness in Anklu's tone, Xu Yi thought for a while, and couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Mr. Anklu, I thought you deliberately let me stay in Wei Lun City for one night, and this Wei Lun Patriarch The meeting was an agreement between you and him, which gave me the idea of ​​investing in the vicinity of Weilun City. But now that I hear you say this, I don’t think this is your real idea anymore?”

Anklu was silent for a while, then sighed and said: "Since you have seen it, President Xu, then I will no longer hide it. Yes, this is indeed the agreement between me and Patriarch Wei Lun. If I If you can rest in the Wei Lun Manor for a night and create an opportunity for the Wei Lun Patriarch to contact you, you will get the Wei Lun Patriarch's support for me, which is considered an exchange."

"Well, I can understand this approach." Xu Yi nodded. "But I don't understand why you have to say such depressing words to me now. Are you suddenly dissatisfied with Patriarch Wei Lun again?"

"It's not because of a sudden dissatisfaction with Patriarch Wei Lun... Well, it's right to say so." Anklu showed a bitter smile, but there was a hint of sincerity in this smile. "President Xu, in fact, although I strongly invite you to invest in our Principality, I don't actually have much expectations for it. Because our Principality has been in a stagnant situation for too long, I don't think so. I don’t think that just one person or one chamber of commerce can change the situation.”

"This idea is not surprising, because in fact, I don't think we can change the entire Principality of Standing with just one of our new flying chambers of commerce." Xu Yi nodded.

"But after spending a day in our principality with you yesterday, I found that I was probably thinking wrong." Anklu looked at Xu Yi with a little hope in his eyes. "Other chambers of commerce and other people may not be able to change the entire principality. But President Xu, I really feel this possibility from you!"

Xu Yi was startled and waved his hand quickly: "You expect too much from me."

"No! It's not high at all!" Anklu said seriously: "President Xu. You just came to our principality for one day. You just saw some sights along the way. You can just come up with the idea of ​​building a fruit canning factory. And the rubber processing factory. If you were to conduct a comprehensive inspection of our principality, how many novel ideas would pop up in your head? If all these ideas are realized, I am sure that Great changes have taken place in the entire Principality!"

"You are exaggerating." Xu Yi smiled and said, "Building a factory is just some ordinary investment I made, but whether it can change the face of the whole country depends on the people of this country."

Hearing the latter sentence, Anklu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly he was like a deflated ball, his face and body quickly collapsed.

"People..." Uncle turned to look out of the car window. He smiled wryly again and sighed softly: "It's not that easy to change these people..."

Looking at Anklu's dejected profile, Xu Yi suddenly felt that this man, who had been energetic and enthusiastic since the first time he saw him, seemed to be very lonely now.

The morning passed, and the carriage took Xu Yi and Anklu to Faraday City. Xu Yi successfully met the Grand Duke of Standing and several important ministers of the Duchy of Standing under the introduction of Anklu.

Xu Yi suddenly found out that he had only had some simple contact with the equally potbellied Grand Duke Standing and several ministers. I seem to understand why Angklu feels so lonely.

Before meeting the Grand Duke of Standing, Xu Yi thought that since the surrounding Grand Dukes would take the initiative to offer to sell the three mines in the Duke of Standing to an unknown chamber of commerce in another country. Then it must be a leader of great courage and courage, who intends to sell these three mines to attract investment from other countries' chambers of commerce, thereby changing the poverty and backwardness of the Principality of Standing.

But after seeing Archduke Standing with his own eyes and having a luncheon with him, after a period of conversation and contact, Xu Yi discovered that his previous conjecture about Archduke Standing was completely wrong.

Not only is this Grand Duke even fatter than Patriarch Weilun, but his greed is also more lustful and obvious than Patriarch Weilun.

After seeing Xu Yi, he just exchanged a few words, and Archduke Standing quickly turned the topic to the three mines.

What surprised Xu Yi was that Archduke Standing and Anklu had completely different statements.

When Anklu and Xu Yi negotiated, they hoped to exchange these three mines for some technologies mastered by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, but the Grand Duke of Standing asked Xu Yi very bluntly how much gold he planned to spend to buy these three mines. .

When Xu Yi said that he could not say the exact number because he had not conducted on-the-spot inspections on the three mines, Grand Duke Standing and several other ministers even forced Xu Yi to give an approximate number, claiming that as long as The price offered by Xu Yi was right, and they could decide to sell the three mines to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce now.

Xu Yi was forced into desperation, and could only give a price between 1 million and 1.5 million gold coins.

He originally estimated the price of these three mines at about 2 million gold coins, but after seeing the faces of Grand Duke Standing and those ministers, he even put the estimated price between 1 million and 2 million. dare not say it.

Because after hearing his offer, Grand Duke Standing and several ministers all had their eyes wide open, directly ignoring the offer of one million gold coins, and planning to directly target the price of one million and a half million gold coins.

Xu is also sure that if he says between one million and two million gold coins, these guys will definitely fix the price at two million gold coins.

Thinking of what Anklu said on the way here, Xu Yi looked at the greedy and joyful Grand Duke Standin and the ministers, thinking that Anklu was not as he thought before. People judge too harshly, but they say it too conservatively.

More than the greedy and unreliable Patriarch Wei Lun.

From Xu Yi's point of view, the leaders of this duchy, including the Grand Duke of Standing, are all greedy and unreliable! (To be continued..)
