Regarding Lin Shuo's request for more money, Anne felt a little embarrassed.
In fact, the funds of the International Society for Biological Research have never been sufficient, and the membership fees and sponsorship funds of the member countries are mainly used in the field of biological research.
Hunting for Strange Creatures is a new project developed by Miao Guangqi, the chief elder of the Presbyterian House, in recent years.
The reason why this project can impress the elders' home is because of the prospect of its biological research on the one hand, and on the other hand, Miao Guangqi personally raised 100 million US dollars. With this start-up capital, this matter is a matter of course.
Once the project was established, it achieved unexpected success.
Currently scattered all over the world, the inheritance of the hunting gate family has not been broken, but the business is actually almost broken.
Now that the hunter family has emigrated to the territory of the country, there is actually no business to do, and all the strange creatures in the territory have been killed.
And in history, only a small number of countries were able to be immigrated by the domestic hunter family.
Most countries and regions are still plagued by strange creatures.
Those countries with a long history of civilization are okay, because there are also hunter-like existences within them, which can deal with strange creatures, but there are not five such countries in the world.
So overall, the world still needs hunters.
To put it bluntly, it is the business of hunting strange creatures. At present, the distribution of buyers and sellers in the world is very uneven. There is an urgent need for a middleman to connect the supply and demand sides.
The Strange Creature Special Group of the International Society for Biological Research even filled this gap in the market.
So the project was healthy financially until two months ago.
Since the governments of various countries have commissioned, they will naturally give rewards.
After excluding the rewards for hunters, plus the expenses for eating horse chews for the people in the offices on all continents, there is a surplus.
But only the Asian office lost the last two deals.
But in business, if there is profit, there is loss. This is not a big problem. The key is that the biggest beneficiary of the two businesses in terms of scientific research is not the International Biological Research Association, but the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Fortunately, the hooked snake was jointly developed by the International Biological Research Association and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the vice president He Zihong personally made the decision.
Hell King did it. Dozens of biologists from the International Society for Biological Research worked desperately and used supercomputers to analyze the reproductive principle of King Hell, but the living body of King Hell was not obtained.
Although the public information is that the living body of King Yama has died, that is what Yang Tuo said.
Of course, the International Society for Biological Research is not a fool, knowing that it was cut off by the Chinese Academy of Sciences represented by Yang Tuo.
Calculated in this way, the International Society for Biological Research will lose a lot of money in this business.
Lin Shuo's price was already far higher than other hunters, but this time he also used supercomputers.
Adding in the expenses of dozens of scientific teams at the venue in Switzerland and the after-the-fact remuneration, Lin Lin finally calculated that the International Society for Biological Research spent 270 million U.S. dollars for this.
Not to mention that all the special funds for strange creatures were absorbed by this incident, and the International Society for Biological Research also paid 50 million.
After spending so much money, the bamboo basket fetched water in vain.
Although China promised that next year's membership fee will be a huge sum, it hasn't been paid yet after all, and they haven't said how much it will be.
Then someone must be responsible for this matter.
Who is responsible can only be Anne.
Because she was the only one who represented the International Biological Research Association at the scene, but someone cut her off.
So Anne's recent days are actually very difficult.
Although Miao Guangqi withstood the pressure for her, she knew that she could not make any mistakes in this case in Nepal.
Moreover, the special fund bank was already empty, so the amount of remuneration paid to hunters was no longer the same as before. The bargaining power was in Anne's hands, and it had to be reported to the Council of Elders for special approval.
If Lin Shuo still sticks to the old rules, 10 million US dollars, then everything is justified.
No matter how high it is, it will be a bit difficult to deal with. Even if Anne agrees, the other side may not agree.
Seeing that Anne didn't say a word for a long time, Lin Shuo knew that she was in trouble, so he nodded, "It's okay, since it's a business, it must be done. I have my own considerations for raising the price. Whether it's suitable or not, you should also have your own considerations. If it doesn't work, don't force it, you can find someone else, it will probably be much cheaper."
"Who else can I turn to for this kind of case?" Anne asked.
"The Miao family." Lin Shuo said, "The Miao family is the only one among the six Liemen families who are thriving. They should be able to take this job."
"But if I find the Miao family, my mentor will be very upset." Anne said in a low voice, "He is from the Miao family, and he has a bad relationship with my family."
"Business matters. Those who are unhappy and those who are not, can you still get things done?" Lin Shuo said indifferently, "Your mentor is at least the elder of an international organization, and he is not so narrow-minded."
"Lin Shuo, can you tell me why you suddenly raised the price?" Anne asked.
"Because the price of the six leaders of Liemen is there. I am 10 million US dollars, and the others are also worth this price. Otherwise, it is not justified." Lin Shuo explained.
"Ah?" Anne thought for a while, and said, "But Zhang Jin and I are not the leaders of the Six Hunters."
Lin Shuo froze for a moment, knowing that this girl had misunderstood.
At this moment, there was a commotion outside, and Wei Xingshan's group came back.
For Lin Shuo, eating is the biggest thing in the world. There is nothing more important than eating in this world.
Recently, I was teaching Zhang Jin's culture class here, and training those mercenaries. I basically had no time to hunt. Lin Shuo felt that there was a serious shortage of oil and water in his stomach.
So he stopped talking, stood up and walked out.
There were fifteen people in the yard, Wei Xingshan, Zhang Jin, Liu Qing, plus other mercenaries, plus two carts for purchasing, it was full.
At the first glance of the people and carts in this yard, Lin Shuo took a look at the half-fan cow lying on one of the carts.
His mood immediately improved, and he only felt that the sun was shining outside.
This is yak meat, a specialty here. Lin Shuo has been craving it for a while, but has never had a chance to eat it.
Putting aside the crowd, Lin Shuo took a few steps forward, grabbed a bull leg with one hand, and carried it on his body.
He planned to take care of the half cow himself.
Seeing that Lin Shuo was going to make this half yak, everyone was very happy and lucky.
Carrying the cow to the backyard, Lin Shuo turned around and found two people following him.
One is Anne, because it was just halfway through.
The other is Zhang Jin, this young man has a naive smile on his face, swallowing saliva all the time, greedy.
"Come on, give me a hand." Lin Shuo greeted Zhang Jin.
Zhang Jin hurried forward, and the uncle and nephew got busy.
While disassembling the yak with a knife, Lin Shuo continued, "Of course you two are not the leader of the hunting gate.
I want you to become the heads of each family, and then one of the six leaders of the Liemen. It is just my own wishful thinking at present.
Even if you become the heads of each family after the peer alliance ceremony, you may not be able to become the leader of the hunting gate, it depends on your own good luck.
The two of you are currently, in fact, apprentices among the inheritance hunters.
Ability can be regarded as a teacher, but the ability to handle business needs to be guided by the seniors.
According to the rules, novices like you need to be led by seniors to make at least three deals, or a period of three years.
Now you are taken by me, and I haven't recognized you yet, so there is no name for you in the world.
So you can't take the job alone, but follow me.
How much I give you depends on my mood, anyway, you won't starve to death. "
"So that's how it is." Anne responded, wanting to help, but found that the two uncles and nephews cooperated very well, and she couldn't intervene.
So she asked again, "Then what do you mean, it seems that there is still the leader of the hunting gate joining this case, who is it?"
"I can handle this matter in Nepal alone, but time may be too tight. Calling another leader will get twice the result with half the effort." Lin Shuo said while busying his hands, "This person's name is Cao. Yu Sheng, he and your mentor visited you in Yanjing Hospital before, remember?"
"Oh, so it's Uncle Cao." Anne nodded.
"Well. The thing in Nepal has a lot to do with the Cao family, so we should invite him because of emotion and reason." Lin Shuo said, "Because of the nature of the matter, he might not want his share of the money. But since you are going to invite him, you have to put on a posture, and the money is in place first."
Anne nodded, and then asked, "Have you figured out what this is?"
"I glanced at your email just now, and the way of death of the deceased has obvious characteristics." Lin Shuo said, "Fifteen years ago, the main line of the Cao family on the Bashang Plateau disappeared like this."
"Oh, so it's that thing." Hearing this, Anne understood.
The matter of the main branch of the Cao family, like the killing of the Su family, is a public case of Liemen in recent years. She has studied it and knows what is going on.
But Zhang Jin didn't understand. He just heard the taste, and suddenly stopped talking.
The young man had something on his mind, so the knife in his hand stopped.
Lin Shuo was in a hurry to eat. Seeing that the knife had stopped over there, he had no choice but to say, "Zhang Jin, you should know this thing. It's called 'White-headed Flying Corpse'."
Zhang Jin's eyes lit up, and he understood.
