Chapter 32 Secret Covenant
…
He stared at Wang Shouzhe for a long time and then said: "Is this my brother trying to trick me? Are you trying to trick me again? I'm already like this... What other chance can I have to redeem myself?"
"The reasons for the insect plague, the principle of why the insect killer powder will gradually become ineffective, and the enlightenment direction of the new insect killer powder research..." Wang Shouzhe said with an indifferent expression, "If these are not enough money for me to stand up, then look at the following Wrong money brother’s ability.”
"Is this serious?" Mr. Qian suddenly stood up, a powerful aura that was at the peak of the ninth level of the Qi Refining Realm burst out, and said with a flash of light in his eyes, "If there is such a great achievement, brother Shouzhe, you are me Qian Xue’an is a true brother.”
What a powerful breath!
Even Wang Shouzhe was slightly surprised that this money boss was so humble, yet his cultivation level was so high. As expected of the wealthy Qian family in Longzuo, even a small manager in a branch can achieve such a level of accomplishment.
A glimpse of the whole picture shows how powerful the Qian family of Longzuo is.
"Does Mr. Qian want to use such great achievements to gain an opportunity to attack the Lingtai realm?" Wang Shouzhe narrowed his eyes slightly. He knew that the other party was not showing off his momentum in vain. Instead, he was telling Wang Shouzhe about the value and potential of Qian Xue'an.
"Brother, you understand me." Qian Xue'an immediately returned to his harmless Maitreya appearance after his "appearance" and said, "Let me tell you clearly, I am a direct descendant of the Qian family. Knowing the status and treatment in the family, I am so sad that I have been able to reach today step by step. Without special achievements, the chance of getting support from the family to attack the Lingtai realm is too slim. If I can help me, no matter what the result is, I, Qian Xuexue Andu is grateful."
"Brother Qian, do you know why I don't contribute this merit to Zifu Academy?" Wang Shouzhe smiled, as if he was testing Qian Xuean's wisdom.
"Pest control is a big deal, and your Ping An Wang family is too weak." Qian Xue'an said with the same smile, "Even if you contribute the research results to the academy, with the condescending mentality of those in the academy, you Wang The Qian family in Longzuo may not have a grateful attitude. But our Longzuo Qian family is different. With this information, we are qualified to negotiate with the Academy. Even if we get 10% more profit sharing from the new pest control powder in the future, it will be very huge. Numbers! Therefore, I chose to give this great work to me, which is called...the word you said before..."
"Maximize profits." Wang Shouzhe said while drinking tea.
"Yes, that's the word." Qian Xue'an said solemnly, "But there is a prerequisite for this, and that is that I, Qian, must be grateful and repay brother Shouzhe. We can sign a secret covenant about this matter, If I, Qian, violate the covenant, I can make the covenant public and let Qian's reputation be ruined. You also know that our Qian family always has the ultimate reputation, and what will happen if our personal reputation is completely ruined."
The owner of this money is indeed a clear friend.
Wang Shouzhe felt a little calm in his heart. These days, he was afraid that you would look at the blind man with your eyes. He tried his best to support you but found that he was a white-eyed wolf.
Based on his previous contact with Qian Xu'an, he found that he was a thoughtful and considerate person. Otherwise, how could he have reached this point with his direct bloodline?
"Brother Qian, if we sign a secret contract, we will be in the same boat." Wang Shouzhe finally asked, "Do you have to think clearly?"
Qian Xue'an pondered for a moment and said: "If it were another ally, Qian would naturally have to think carefully." After a pause, he looked at Wang Shouzhe solemnly and said seriously: "But marrying brother Shouzhe The secret agreement was exactly what Qian wanted. Brother, you are careful and courageous, and I admire you very much for your ability to turn your hands into clouds and rain. I firmly believe that being in the same boat as my brother is my lifelong luck. "
Although the words were exaggerated, Wang Shouzhe could feel his true feelings and immediately made up his mind to start drawing up a secret covenant.
Adhering to the idea of putting the bad guys first, the terms of the covenant drafted by Wang Shouzhe were meticulous without obvious loopholes, and the responsibilities and obligations of each other in the covenant were clearly written.
After Qian Xue'an read the covenant, he was stunned on the spot, not because the terms were too complicated or harsh, but because they were too simple and equal. When he thought about it, whether his future ended bleakly or skyrocketed was all in the hands of Wang Shouzhe.
Even if the conditions are a bit harsh, it is normal. At least he has already done a good job of psychological construction.
"Brother Shouzhe, this covenant..." Qian Xue'an frowned slightly, "Do I need to add some restrictions on Qian?"
"Brother Qian, I'm looking for allies, not underlings." Wang Shouzhe said while drinking tea. "Since we are allies, we should naturally uphold the principles of fairness, justice, mutual respect, and mutual help. If one day I feel that our alliance is meaningless. , you can refer to the last article, and the covenant will be invalidated after compensating the ally 10,000 gold."
Qian Xue'an took a deep breath, signed the two contracts and pressed his fingerprints, then saluted and said: "Shou Zhe has a broad mind that I have only seen in his life. Qian swears that as long as Shouzhe you will not let me down." , I will live up to you, otherwise Qian will be struck by lightning and die."
"Brother, your words are serious. From now on, you and I are brothers. We will both prosper and suffer." Wang Shouzhe was very satisfied with the result. After putting away the contract, he gave Qian Xue'an the documents he had prepared earlier, "What's next? Operation, I believe I know better than me."
Qian Xue'an focused on reading the paperwork, and his face became more and more wonderful the more he looked at it: "It's unbelievable, unbelievable, but reasonable. Brother Shouzhe, this information of yours is extremely precious, and it can prevent the new insect killer powder from failing again in the future. question."
This information was written by Wang Shouzhe himself. He tried his best to express in plain and simple language how the resistance of honey bugs comes from. If you want to kill the existing drug-resistant honey bugs, you have to adjust the ancient prescription insecticide powder.
As for how to adjust and how to experiment. Wang Shouzhe did not give any suggestions and let the academy explore on its own.
In addition, Wang Shouzhe has never thought about developing a new insect killer powder. The interests involved in this area are too great. This is equivalent to collecting a pest control tax on all the fertile farmland in Longzuo County, and the astronomical benefits are enough to crush Wang to death.
"Okay, okay, with this great merit." Qian Xue'an's eyes shone brightly, "If I, Qian, don't work well, my thirty-eight years will be in vain."
He collected the contract solemnly and said to Wang Shouzhe with a smile: "Brother Shouzhe, I have to admit. If it weren't for this great achievement, I would really hate you to death. You are really good at this skill. But now Well, haha, I can only say that you did a great job, brother."
"Just following the trend." Wang Shouzhe smiled, "How much money are you, the shopkeeper, prepared to pay to redeem the contract this time?"
"Originally, the shopkeeper's psychological bottom line is double the price of the contract. Of course, it's best for you to give up and get a thousand dollars to settle the matter." Qian Xue'an narrowed his fat eyes, "But this time the insect plague is coming very hard. It is so fierce that each family estimates that if no effective measures are taken, the production will be reduced by 60 to 70%, which is equivalent to the loss of about ten coppers per mu. If the disaster relief can be rescued in time with a double dose of insecticide powder, at most one or two will be lost. Big copper.”
"According to what I mean, the bottom line for those aristocratic families to invest in insect exterminators per acre is about six coppers?" Wang Shouzhe had already planned this and said with a smile, "Then if Qian's Trading Company costs twice as much With a price recovery contract, not only will there be no losses, but there will also be profits?”
"Wrong." Qian Xue'an narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "The psychological bottom line of those aristocratic families is at least twelve large copper investments, or even more. They have to beg our Qian family to sell it to them, because the stock of insect killer powder is It’s far from enough to save all the families.”
"Instead of losing more, it is better not to invest and just let the grain production decrease." Wang Shouzhe frowned, slightly not understanding.
"Brother, you should know that Daqian law prohibits the use of good years and disaster years to speculate on food prices. On the surface, this is an excellent policy to calm the people." Qian Xue'an sneered and shook his head, "But in fact, in disaster years, it actually harms people. Not bad. Merchants can't afford to be too early if they can't make a profit. If the price of grain doesn't rise, how many merchants will be willing to transport grain all the way to Longzuo?"
"Therefore, the overall food shortage in Longzuo is a foregone conclusion. Most of the aristocratic families still have old grain hoards to cope with the disaster, but there will inevitably be a considerable number of civilians who have difficulty buying food even if they have money. Take our entire Changningwei area, the total population The number reaches more than 500,000, but the total amount of fertile land is only 1.5 million acres."
