defend the truth

Li Weizhen frowned in surprise and said: "Oh, what can He De do? Since entering the city, I have been cautious and dare not reveal my identity. Unfortunately, after all, I can't hide the supernatural powers of the city lord!"

Tan Kewen said in a deep voice: "If you are really afraid, you shouldn't come! You are nothing more than that you have calculated the worst result. Once your identity is exposed, you only need to make noise and spread it through other people's mouths. I dare not Move you!"

"I even have to save your life, so that those bounty hunters who want your head can't do anything in the city. Because once I indulge them, it's like slapping myself in the face, teaching the world to despise the city's laws, Kill people wantonly in the city."

"Did I say so?"

Li Weizhen sighed lightly, and said noncommittally: "Since the Lord City Master has made an inference, even if I say no, I'm afraid I can't argue with it. The matter has come to this point, it can be seen that the Lord City Master wants to handle it impartially. According to the law, I will expel those who enter the city with false identities. ?”

Tan Kewen nodded slightly and said: "You are very self-aware. The wanted arrest on you is only valid within the boundaries of Fuchun City, but in this city, you have never committed any serious crimes. If you deal with it fairly, I can only expel you. "

"but……"

Tan Kewen's words froze, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly fell into the ice cellar, which can make people feel chilling.

Li Weizhen's eyes widened slightly, and he looked at Tan Kewen without any timidity, as if he had expected it.

He has been waiting, just waiting for this "but". Everything he said before can be nonsense, and nothing can compare to the weight of this "but". After the "but", it is the finger that turns the wheel of fate.

After a breath, Tan Kewen gradually relaxed his expression, and finally showed a smiling face that didn't know the truth, nodded and said with a smile: "You make me suddenly hope that it can be on another occasion, in a better way, that you and I can sit down and talk. .”

"Exile you is indeed the easiest solution. And from the perspective of the current best interests, I should take you down, and then secretly escort you to the Fu family. I don't want to give you bonuses. I just need to exchange for the two major city-states to rebuild the old one. !"

"But I definitely have the ability to continue to protect you. As long as you are willing to agree to one condition, you and I can have common interests, which can be regarded as friendship!"

The implication of Tan Kewen's words is that they don't necessarily have to be enemies, but they can actually be friends.Just put out chips to each other and hold each other in hands.

In fact, the social nature of this world is the display and exchange of value.

Obviously, Li Wei's real body has certain value, which can attract Tan Kewen to exchange for it.

Li Weizhen asked suspiciously: "I don't know how can I share the worries for the city lord with my mere ability?"

Tan Kewen said calmly: "It's too late to belittle yourself again and again. Please listen patiently to what I have to say next!"

"If you inherit the Taoism, you are qualified to start a sect, but you still lack a chance to achieve your lofty aspirations!"

"Right now, what I asked you to promise is such an opportunity for you!"

"It is first that I secretly fund and support you as the real head of the Taiyi Sect! After your Taiyi Sect reopens the mansion, you must help me in the Northern Expedition and the Eastern Expedition to win this world!"

"I don't want a federation of seven cities to maintain mutual benefit forever, check and balance each other, what I want is to create a new situation, and want a new dynasty to rise in the world under the mountain in the southern part of the sky!"

"At that time, you will manage the order of the mountain; and I will be responsible for the peace below the mountain! It's like the sun and the moon, how about it?"

It has to be said that Tan Kewen's big cake was so big that it almost knocked Li Weizhen unconscious.

If another person said these words, it could only be regarded as a joke.

But this person is Tan Kewen, who owns Funan City, the most economically powerful of the seven city-states in Tiannan Territory.As long as you are willing to spend money, recruiting troops is not empty talk!

Therefore, Li Weizhen smiled suspiciously: "It's a big surprise! To be honest, there is a powerful person like the city lord who is willing to support the rebuilding of the sect. I really can't find a reason to refuse."

"Besides, the situation in the world is becoming more and more turbulent. For those with strength, it is definitely a good time to achieve a great ambition. Therefore, I can understand the ambition of the city lord! If it were me, I would not miss it! "

"But I still can't figure it out. Your land already has the Nansha Sword Sect, one of the top ten famous sects in Tiannan, and it is also the former sect of the city lord."

"If you want to unify the whole territory and dominate Tiannan, why do you need to look far away and seek collusion with an outsider like me?"

This is a reasonable question. Tan Kewen had expected it long ago. He calmly replied: "At this stage, you don't need to know the overall plan. When the time is right, you will naturally be informed."

Li Weizhen pretended to be convinced, nodded and sighed: "Well, I'm relieved if I have a plan! Then there is another important question. I wonder how much money the Lord City Master plans to invest in the early stage?"

Tan Kewen raised a finger firmly, but remained silent.

Li Wei really thought: This person is really a chicken thief, he clearly wants me to ask for money! 100?No, it’s too little, I can find a way to earn it myself. 1000 million?To earn this amount, I still have to spend a lot of time on my own.Besides, with his family background, I'm not too much, not too much at all!

After knowing it in his mind, Li Weizhen said bluntly: "If you can get 1000 million spirit stones as a foundation in the early stage, it should not be difficult to build the prototype of the sect. What needs to be considered in the future is nothing more than the issue of talent reserves!"

Tan Kewen withdrew his hand and said intently: "One month, give me one month to turn around. I can't guarantee that you will be satisfied, but I will try my best to raise money!"

"Uh???"

Li Weizhen, who was stunned, subconsciously picked out his ears.

The majestic lord of a city wants to raise money for a mere 1000 million spirit stones?It may not be possible to raise enough money, this... Did you hear me wrong?

"Do you think I'm fooling you?"

"Sorry, it's hard not to think so!"

Accompanied by the conversation between the two, the atmosphere in the living room began to take a turn for the worse. One person's face was full of embarrassment, and the other's eyes were full of suspicion.

Tan Kewen could only explain further: "Although I am the lord of the city, I must never put my hand into the public pocket openly. Most of the financial revenue from the city-state is under supervision and can only be taken from the people and used for the people. .”

"As for the business in the family, although more than half of it belongs to me, at the end of the year, the accounts must also be reconciled and the profit and loss calculated so that each house can distribute dividends according to the proportion."

"In short, public and private are clearly distinguished. I have to explain to many people below and have to convince the public. On the surface, I am very rich; in reality, those are just a series of numbers on the book."

"I can move 1000 million out today, but I must be prepared to fill in 1000 million back tomorrow. If I can't, I have to spend time doing book work, transfer the money away without anyone noticing, and guarantee Afterwards, there is nothing to check!"

Li Weizhen quickly understood the meaning of the words, nodded and said in a deep voice: "Before the real incident, our cooperation can only be carried out in private, and the flow of large amounts of funds naturally has to be done in the dark."

"Let's do this! Money is worse than money. With my current status, money is not easy to spend. I would like to use the contacts of the city lord to get me a hundred mirage beads, but the quality must be of the city defense level." !"

Hearing this, Tan Kewen thought thoughtfully: "Arrange the mirage beads of the secret enchantment? It seems that you have already chosen the location, do you need so many mirage beads? This is enough to cover the mountains and rivers within five hundred miles. Moreover, the cost of purchasing is nearly 400 million spirit stones, you have such a big appetite, and if you invest 1000 million in the early stage, it shouldn't be too much to spend!"

Li Weizhen shook his head and said with a smile: "Does the Lord really think that I don't know how to plan? Although I am not a serious businessman, I have done business. How can such a large order be calculated at the retail price? If you work on your own, you still need to get kickbacks?"

"Furthermore, since I have a plan to take over such a large piece of land, what I'm looking at is naturally the resources of that piece of land. As long as this is done, maybe I can open up a way of making money for you, the city lord." !"

"Once this road is opened, won't it be more convenient for you and me to move around in funds?"

Tan Kewen raised his brows, looking at Li Weizhen's eyes, he couldn't help but feel a little more complicated.He no longer mentioned the matter of the Mirage Pearl, because he could indeed do it. Relying on the contacts he had accumulated in the sect in the past, he could buy it at a discount of [-]% of the market price, and the matter was absolutely kept secret.

Now, what Tan Kewen is more concerned about is the way of making money that Li Weizhen said.

What are the resources of the land?

Spirit beasts, medicinal materials, wood or minerals?

At this stage, everyone is trying to figure out the bottom line of each other, and no one will take the initiative to reveal more cards. This is the way smart people cooperate.

Tan Kewen could only rely on his intuition to choose the most likely one, and tentatively said: "The financial path that Junior Brother Li is referring to is a rare mineral deposit? The old Luo family keeps a close eye on this business, if I get involved, once the news gets out, the Luo family will jump in a hurry and scold me for using power for personal gain and violating the ancestral precepts."

As a matter of fact, the source of income that Li Weizhen refers to is indeed related to mineral resources. The fiery copper mine discovered by him, as long as it is operated properly, is an inestimable wealth.

But such a coveted asset, without certain strength, is hard to put in your pocket.Instead of letting this wealth never see the light of day, it is better to share it with others and take risks together.

As long as you earn the first pot of gold, you can do more things when you have money.

Moreover, Li Weizhen believes that with this benefit, his cooperation with Tan Kewen will become smoother!

Therefore, knowing that Tan Kewen was deliberately probing, Li Weizhen still said calmly: "It is indeed a mineral deposit, and it is a fire copper mine. As far as I know, even the Luo family can only rely on the convenience of the port to make a profit. Transfer fee."

"But if we can mine, transport, and sell by ourselves, forming a complete industrial chain. Then our annual income will be at least 4000 million spirit stones!"

"May I ask how much your Huo family's finances are for a year?"

Tan Kewen was still in deep thought, weighing the pros and cons. Although he pursed his lips slightly, he couldn't hide the smile on the corner of his mouth. Obviously, he was also moved by such a number!

Businessmen value profits, and as long as the profits are large enough, they can take risks.

He is a person determined to achieve great things, money will never be enough, and his ambition is even more difficult to fill with money.

Once war is declared to other city-states in the future, the military expenditure will easily exceed [-] million. Every war will burn money, so it is necessary to plan early.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Suddenly, the two who looked at each other in silence burst into laughter at the same time.
