"Aren't you the owner of the mine? Now that you can sell the mine at a good price that will definitely not make a loss, why can't you be the owner?" Richard asked strangely.
Simon sighed, looked at Richard and said: "Yes, this guest, I am indeed the owner of the mine, but as I said just now, I bought this mine with the savings of several generations of my family. The Lord is just a manager, the real owner, the people in my family who contribute money. I was only chosen to this position because I have better management skills and better integrity."
"So, except for managing the miners, the main body of this mine is completely beyond your control, so why are you still serving the mine so carefully?" Richard asked.
"Actually, I still have some control over the mine," Simon said. "In the process of purchasing the mine, I also contributed money. Although it was small, only five hundred gold coins, I also have the right to participate in the distribution of the mine's profits. . Therefore, I want to do a good job in the mine and do not want to lose my faith, so that I can ensure that I can get my share when the profits are distributed."
"Speaking of which, you only own 100% of the mine, right? The reason why you stick to your principles is actually just so that the 200% ownership will not be affected." Richard said.
Simon hesitated for a moment and said calmly: "You can say that."
"Then the matter is simple." Richard said, "Since you can't completely be the main mine, I don't need to buy the mine. I can just buy your ownership of this part. You originally paid five hundred gold coins, and now I will give you You will give me one thousand gold coins for free, and I will only give it to you. My request is still the same as before, mine enough emeralds for me within two days.
I don't want to worry about how to deal with conflicting orders. Just complete the task for me. In this way, if it really affects the mining farm, or even shuts down the mining farm, you will not suffer any loss. how? "
"Guest, although you won't cause any loss to me by doing this, it will also cause damage to other members of my tribe." Simon frowned.
"Two thousand gold coins."
"Guest, my integrity is the certificate of my future life. Once I lose it, I'm afraid..." Simon hesitated.
"Three thousand gold coins."
"guest… "
"Four thousand gold coins."
"Uh..." Simon opened and closed his mouth, then suddenly took a deep breath and said, "Okay, guest, I've taken your order and it will be completed within two days. But, can you pay the deposit?"
Richard flipped his hand, and two high-grade crystal coins appeared in his palm and were delivered to Simon: "It's half of the amount, which will be used as a deposit. After you complete it, I will pay you the other half."
Simon took it and said with some surprise: "Crystal coin? Guest, you... are you a wizard?"
Richard smiled slightly: "If you think so, then that's it. I hope you won't take the money and break the promise."
"Absolutely not." Simon shook his head vigorously.
"That's good." Richard said, turning to look at Qian Ning and saying, "Okay, Mr. Qian Ning, the first type of ore I need has been solved, now take me to find the second type of ore."
"Okay." Qian Ning responded and walked up with a slightly weird expression.
"What? Mr. Qian Ning, do you think it is inappropriate for me to use this method to solve the problem?" Richard asked.
"No, no." Qian Ning shook his head violently, forced out a smile and said, "How is that possible? I just think you spent a little too much, sir - a full four thousand gold coins! Humph, if I had known earlier, what would have happened? He has no integrity at all, and all his persistence is just fake. I can make him completely change his mind with just one thousand gold coins."
"Then how many gold coins did you promise to give him when you first talked to him?"
"This..." Qian Ning hesitated for a moment and slowly extended a palm.
"five hundred?"
"Fifty." Qian Ning answered honestly.
Richard: "..."
He shook his head lightly and said: "It seems that this is the problem. If you want to use money to solve the problem, then don't be stingy with money. Just pile the money up to a number beyond imagination, and everything will be solved. . Otherwise, if you hesitate, there will definitely be setbacks."
"But sir, this is money after all." Qian Ning said, "Almighty money! Is this too wasteful?"
"Don't waste it." Richard shook his head, "In fact, there are many things in the world that cannot be solved by money. If money can solve it, then no matter how much it is, it doesn't matter to me."
"Ah? Why?"
"Because I have money and can afford more money."
After hearing this, Qian Ning blinked his eyes, slowly lowered his head and fell into a long silence.
After a long time, Qian Ning asked aloud: "So, sir, you said you wanted to buy the entire mine before, weren't you kidding?"
"Yes, I really considered buying the entire mine with 100,000 gold coins." Richard said, "That's why I scared that Simon and turned to the low-level solution of 4,000 gold coins to solve the problem."
"Four thousand... low price..." Qian Ning murmured, completely falling into silence.
…
at the same time.
Eden, inside Laboratory Three.
The immortal tin wood stands quietly in the transparent glass pool, absorbing energy from the void and maintaining a state of supplying energy to the energy controller.
During this process, a human face on the tree trunk looked straight at the wall of the research room, as if it could see outside.
Time passed second after second, and after an unknown amount of time, Ximu's face suddenly changed.
His lips opened and closed, making a hoarse and trembling sound.
"Two days! More than two days have passed, and that boy has not come back at all, Jie Jie!"
Ximu said loudly, looking quite excited. In his opinion, there are only two possibilities for Richard not to return to the Garden of Eden for more than two days: first, Richard died outside due to some accident. Second, Richard got entangled outside because of some trivial matters.
No matter which possibility it is, there is a high chance that Richard will not show up in the next period of time.
Then, now is the best time for him to escape from this current prison!
From the first day he was caught and forced to sign a contract, he was thinking about how to escape all the time. However, in his complete state, he had fully seen Richard's strength and did not dare to risk a head-on fight with Richard. Therefore, he chose to temporarily cooperate with Richard, and then absorbed energy from the void to repair himself, restore his strength, and achieve new breakthroughs.
Because most of the energy was taken away by Richard, the progress of his recovery of strength was relatively slow, but it was not unbearable - because he deliberately concealed part of the energy and used it secretly in private.
According to his plan, in two months, he would reach the desired state and have the ability to escape safely.
However, Richard listened to his suggestion and opened the door to the Garden of Eden to let him stabilize the external energy, which greatly accelerated his progress. Because he can use the unstable fluctuations of external energy to steal more energy for private use.
So, today, he has succeeded ahead of schedule.
Success!
"It's time, it's time!" Ximu murmured, and moved violently the next moment.
The rebellion begins!
