Arknights, are you a good person?

Ji said calmly.

"Hold on, what are you doing here?"

"Some notes, and talking about business, and investing in you."

624: Qi Yuan's Asset Evaluation

Ji is worthy of being the largest businessman in Dayan. He is a little reserved in the court, but when he is with others in private, he speaks much faster.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he stated the three purposes for coming to Longmen.

"Speak slowly, one at a time."

Qi Yuan waved his hand and brought Ji to the reception room. He served a cup of tea first. There was a clanging sound in the celadon teacup, which was the sound of ice cubes colliding.

The environment of the reception room is excellent. The materials used are only stone and wood. A whole piece of crimson carpet covers the floor. Solid wooden bookshelves connect the floor and the ceiling, and they are filled with books that are worth listening to.

Niyan has no other hobbies except reading, and he especially likes reading poetry collections.

“Is this the tea you grow yourself?”

Ji looked down at the tea soup. There were a lot of ice cubes, and green tea leaves were floating in the ice-water mixture. He scraped the tea soup with the lid of the tea bowl and accidentally rubbed against an ice cube, making a clinking sound.

"It was frozen the night before."

Qi Yuan picked up the tea and took a sip, then heaved a sigh of relief: "Who wants to drink hot tea in this weather?"

"Indeed, it is already late spring..."

Ji took a sip and immediately showed a strange look on his face. He lowered his head and stared at the cold tea: "What's going on? It doesn't have the sour smell of overnight tea, but instead has a refreshing and sharp taste?"

"So it's not a show of power, but a normal hospitality?" Ji said to himself.

He got to the bottom of the matter and after finding out the existence and preparation method of "cold brew tea", Ji fell silent again.

His eyes flickered, as if he had discovered a business opportunity.

"Don't look at the tea with that look, just drink it well." Xi's voice floated out. Ever since Ji was brought here by the stone man, she has been extremely vigilant and looked at this brother with the darkest tinted glasses.

“Business is nothing more than transporting things that are abundant in one place to another place where they are scarce.”

Ji calmly pointed out:

“It has no concept of high or low.”

"When the fake paintings you and Nian forged are put together with my real ones, is there no difference in quality?" Xi said gritting his teeth.

"It was Nian who came to me with the imitations, and it just so happened that my business needed start-up capital."

"So you agreed?"

Seeing that a quarrel was about to break out, Qi Yuan quickly spoke up to stop them.

"Let's talk first!"

Qi Yuan held the painting in his sleeve in his hand, raised his head, put down the cold teacup and said, "When you came here, you said three things: precautions, business talks, and investment. Talk about them one by one."

"Ok."

Ji nodded, and after observing Qi Yuan for a while, his face showed a strange look: "You are not wearing it? But it's a good thing. There have been strange phenomena in the sky and the bigwigs in Baizao have been making a fuss all day long. It's inconvenient for me to do business."

“…What vision?”

Qi Yuan asked doubtfully, completely out of the situation.

"Then please listen carefully."

Ji was like a storyteller, carefully stroking the rice straw bracelet on his wrist, as if it were a wake-up call for clapping the table.

"The story begins with many follow-up memorials..."

----------------------------------------

The words are divided into two parts.

Shi Huaiya rubbed her swollen forehead, grabbed a piece of edible ice and put it on her eyelids, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mouse, this month's accounts are finally over. Do you have any activities planned later? Director Nian gave me a videotape, saying it was her life's learning. I'm quite curious about what kind of movie she can make."

Shi Huaiya took out a videotape, which was covered with a bronze protective shell with metal relief and various exaggerated recommendations printed on it.

"Just looking at this shell, Director Nian seems to be quite serious."

Lin Yuxia nodded gently:

"Some people still use videotapes nowadays, and Director Nian is also a traditional person... But do you have any projection equipment?"

"You underestimate my financial resources, hehe~"

The room was filled with a happy atmosphere. After all, a tedious task had been completed and there would be a month of leisure time in the future. Even Lin Yuxia's cold little face had a little smile on it, and she was willing to cooperate with Shi Huaiya in joking.

until--

They went out one after another, ready to find a cafe to have some desserts. As soon as the door opened, Shi Huaiya and Lin Yuxia were shocked by what they saw.

"..."

"..."

"Who are you?"

There were crowds of people outside. If it weren't for Miss Mudstone accompanying her with a sledgehammer, Lin Yuxia would have thought that some gangsters had come to the door.

“We are evaluating.”

"?"

"Assess the business value and prospects, as well as the risks involved. Your project is relatively new and difficult to evaluate. Although it was the boss's idea, it is our responsibility as subordinates to try our best to ensure that the investment does not go to waste."

"..."

"Your home?"

"The appraisers in my family are a group of men wearing slim-fitting suits, monocles, and slicked-back hair." Shi Huaiya scratched her head. This style was quite different from that of her family.

In front of me was a group of accountants wearing long gowns, round-frame glasses, and folding fans on their waists.

"The man who went in earlier and is chatting with Mr. Qi Yuan is our boss. Don't worry, we are all family." The accountant bowed and said in a rather gangster-like manner.

"..."

Shi Huaiya and Lin Yuxia turned around at the same time and looked at the closed door behind them.

"Which firm do you work for?"

The accountant paused and said a well-known name. Lin Yuxia fell silent on the spot, while Shi Huaiya looked puzzled.

"It's about the same as your family's position in Victoria, except there's not as much desire to expand outward."

“Ohhhh!”

Shi Huaiya suddenly realized.

With a clang, the videotape in her hand fell to the ground, and Shi Huaiya's green pupils flashed rapidly.

"Doesn't that mean that we will be busier and busier in the future?"

A giant commercial enterprise has arrived, and its trade routes lead directly to all the lands of Dayan. The resulting accounts can be described as overwhelming.

It would be impossible for the two of them to finish it alone.

"I gave up."

Shi Huaiya was the first to surrender.

"I..." Lin Yuxia hesitated, "This is a huge test for our business."

"A test that will kill you, right?"

Shi Huaiya said unhappily.

-----------------------------------------

When Qi Yuan and Ji went out, they saw the evaluators walking around, and also saw two ladies with different expressions.

"What's wrong with you guys?"

Qi Yuan asked curiously.

"Sister, I am dying from overwork. Can you give the pension to me first?" Shi Huaiya stretched out her arms and held Qi Yuan in her arms. "Can you bear it? I just ask you, can you bear it?!"

625: The European Emperor is by my side?

"Let go, I give up."

"Ugh."

Shi Huaiya sighed and let go of Qi Yuan. She reached out and twirled her golden curly hair, with a hint of distress hidden in her emerald green pupils.

"I'm so stupid, really..." Shi Huaiya said to himself.

Qi Yuan could see that as soon as he came out, both Shi Huaiya and Lin Yuxia felt some hatred towards him. Although this hatred had no source, it was endless like a surging river.

"What are the results of the evaluation?" Qi Yuan rubbed his hair and turned to ask Ji to change the subject.

During the negotiation, Ji had told him everything, including the fact that he had invited a group of professional asset appraisers to inspect Qi Yuan's small farm from top to bottom.

Qi Yuan is quite looking forward to the results of the investigation.

"Mr. Qi's assets are mainly low-cost agriculture, and it has a pharmaceutical company with negative returns. We also have to consider the safety and political risks of using all infected people. Mr. Ji, we all agree that there is no need for investment cooperation, and even acquisition is reluctant because we can't see any profit point at all."

"what?"

Qi Yuan looked at the assessor in surprise, crossed his arms and asked, "Would you like to think about it again?"

"Mr. Qi, please don't misunderstand. I'm just talking business."

The accountant bowed and said, "My lack of business sense will not affect your daily life. Please forgive me."

"how could be?"

Lin Yuxia was a little relieved at first, then she suddenly realized and clenched her fists: "What do you mean?"

Obviously the profits were quite good, the infected people spent very little, and on a small piece of land, they planted exotic plants from all over Terra, along with various precious animal pets, all of which were the result of Mudstone using his Originium skills and painstakingly fine-tuning the soil conditions.

I don’t know how good the sales are. People often order them after looking at the pictures even before the products have grown out. The paper tokens representing the reservations can even be used as general currency in Longmen.

"You really are unable to recognize the great man." Lin Yuxia also shook her head.

It was one thing to be annoyed by the surge in workload, but it was another thing to be treated as worthless for all her efforts, which made her even more angry.

“What exactly did you evaluate?”

"On the one hand, you are giving away truly valuable drugs to alleviate the infection for free, and the things you use to make profits... the market is extremely narrow, and it is completely dependent on the Originium skills of an infected person. Let me ask you, what will happen if Miss Mudstone changes jobs?"

"I change jobs?" Mudstone blinked his red eyes and couldn't help rubbing his white hair after hearing that.

"Then why don't I just not change jobs?"

This is a very simple question. No other boss would tolerate Mudstone's little hobby as an infected person. The room is lined with bookshelves from floor to ceiling, filled with poetry and prose from all over the world.

"What do you think?"

Qi Yuan finally spoke, but he asked the boy Ji next to him.

"Ugh."

Ji shook his head, looking a little annoyed.

"Boss, what do you think?" The accountant cupped his hands and asked with a little fear.

"In the future, things like asset appraisals should really be done by me personally, and not by others." Ji sighed, "I have always done it by myself, but this time I had a sudden idea and hired an outsourcing team. It turns out that money should not be spent carelessly."

Ji waved his hand:

"Pay the guide fee and go home. I won't hire an asset appraisal again in the future," he said regretfully.

"what?"

Ji bowed his hands. Although he was refusing someone, he was still very polite.

"Mr. Ji, your business is the largest business in Dayan. If you ignore our evaluation results, it will affect our credibility." The accountant said bravely.

"Um...is there a problem?"
