However, since Lin Xu said this, Ye Rongsheng followed his words and said: "Haha, I thought about it carefully and found that I did ask for a little less. I was presumptuous. I'm sorry! Then according to Mr. Lin's wishes,
How much should I pay to be worthy of Mr. Lin’s status?”
"You get at least five thousand taels of silver a year!"
Lin Xu opened his mouth and said.
"good!"
After hearing this, Ye Rongsheng couldn't help but his eyes lit up, he patted his thigh hard, and said loudly: "Then according to Mr. Lin's wishes, five thousand taels of silver a year! If Mr. Lin is not generous, you can pay two taels first.
One thousand taels, and the remaining three thousand taels will be paid at the end of the year!"
Of course, Ye Rongsheng was not a fool. He knew that although Lin Xu said that, there must be something behind it. Maybe Lin Xu wanted to use this as an excuse to delay the payment of the protection fee!
Therefore, he immediately proposed to pay two thousand taels of silver first!
Anyway, his original plan was to collect only two thousand taels of silver. As long as he could receive this amount of silver, it was not that important whether the remaining three thousand taels of silver could be received so smoothly.
"Haha, a mere five thousand taels of silver is nothing to me. I don't need to pay it in installments."
Lin Xu said with disdain.
"So, Mr. Lin is willing to pay five thousand taels of silver at once?"
Ye Rongsheng couldn't help but frowned. He certainly didn't believe that Lin Xu would be stupid enough to pay so much money for protection.
So, what does Lin Xu mean?
"When I spend money, I have a habit of never looking at the price, but at the value. I wonder if Gang Leader Ye understands what I mean?"
"Mr. Lin might as well speak more intuitively."
"Haha, let me give you an example!"
Lin Xu smiled softly and said: "A few days ago, I fell in love with a landscape painting by the great painter Meng Peiyao of the former dynasty in an antique store. It was really majestic! Although it was only a small three-foot painting, the store offered a price of two
For a thousand taels of silver, I bought it directly without any counter-offer."
"Someone told me that I made a loss on this painting. It's not worth so much money at all. If I bargain well, I can get at least a thousand taels of silver. No one buys it at the same price."
"At that time, I did not refute."
"But, don't I know such a simple truth? Don't I know that I can definitely make a lot of money by counter-offering?"
"Of course I know this, but I don't want to do it!"
"Because I liked that painting and approved the price of two thousand taels of silver, I bought it without blinking an eye."
"A few days ago, I was wandering on the street and got hungry, so I went to a small restaurant to eat a bowl of Yangchun noodles to satisfy my hunger."
"The shopkeeper told me that he had just received a pot of pig offal and it was already cooked. Why don't you eat Yangchun noodles and eat pig offal instead? You can sell me a bowl for three cents!"
"After hearing what the store owner said, I pointed at his nose and yelled!"
"I came here to eat Yangchun Noodles, but you recommended me to eat pigs in water! Not to mention three pennies a bowl, even if you give me money, I won't eat it!"
After saying this in one breath, Lin Xu smiled at Ye Rongsheng again: "Gang Leader Ye, I think you must have understood this time, right?"
Of course Ye Rongsheng understood what Lin Xu said, and he knew that Lin Xu was calling him a pig in a roundabout way, and his face couldn't help but turn red and white with anger!
Although the anger in his heart was skyrocketing, he did not get angry immediately, because he came here today to seek money, and it is best to have peace talks. Unless it is absolutely necessary, he must not take action!
The key is that he doesn't know the opponent's strength. Once he takes action, he doesn't know whether he can win.
If they can win, it's fine. If they lose, they won't just lose this business. Their entire Ax Gang's business and even their reputation will be greatly affected! This chapter has been completed!
