Chapter 76 Small Goal, 100 Million
Luoyang, Taifu Mansion.
Ever since Qin Mo moved into the Taifu Mansion, there has been a constant stream of visitors. The street in front of the mansion is busy with cars and there are long queues every day.
Among them are Luoyang dignitaries, mercenary leaders, and financial sponsors.
The powerful people in Luoyang wanted to curry favor with Qin Mo.
The leader of the mercenary group wanted to get an official position through Qin Mo, the imperial tutor of the current dynasty. There were many "smart people" like Wei Tianli.
In the war against Dong Zhuo, Qin Mo was naturally the biggest beneficiary, followed by lords such as Du Shihao and Chu Zhongliu, while the mercenaries basically just got a sip of the benefit.
This also makes players realize a fact.
That is, if you want to make it in the Three Kingdoms subcontinent, you still have to go the official route. The road of the knight-errant may seem free, but it is ultimately just a narrow path that will only serve as a tool for others.
As for the financial sponsors, they naturally seek to cooperate with the Daqin Studio. Even a blind man can see that Qin Mo has already gained control of the greatest voice in the Three Kingdoms subcontinent.
If businesses want to do advertising promotion, who else should they turn to if not Qin Mo?
Especially some big financial sponsors, who looked down on the previous small-scale fights, are now ready to test the waters.
Some businesses even wanted Qin Mo to be their spokesperson.
For a time, Qin Mo became the most popular and powerful figure in the Han Dynasty.
Unparalleled in the limelight.
Qin Mo was impatient for socializing, so he left it all to Deng Mao and Li Bingyun.
As Qin Mo was promoted, the identities of the two also changed.
Deng Mao was appointed as the general manager of the Taifu Mansion, and he became the chief steward beside Qin Mo, in charge of all the complicated affairs inside and outside the mansion, and became the object of the powerful people in Luoyang to win over.
The Chief Clerk of the Taifu Palace was concurrently held by the military advisor Jia Xu.
Li Bingyun's apparent identity is still a confidential secretary, mainly responsible for player affairs and the Daqin Studio. The intelligence part is coordinated by Jia Xu, and she is only responsible for the player spy part.
It's like having checks and balances.
As Qin Mo's influence expands beyond Liaodong and radiates across the world, more and more businesses will seek to cooperate with Daqin Studio, and the orders will become larger and larger.
Li Bingyun was busy enough with studio affairs alone and had no time to be distracted.
For Jia Xu, being the Chief Clerk and being responsible for intelligence at the same time was equivalent to having a real job and real power. He was no longer just a military advisor in name only. He instantly became the most important assistant to Qin Mo.
The kindness he bestowed upon us is rarely seen in this world.
…
In the study, Qin Mo was meeting someone, who was Wei Tianli.
"How about it, have you thought it over?" Wei Tianli seemed a little impatient. He had another physical examination this week, and his physical indicators showed new improvement.
I am increasingly convinced that "Hong Huang" is extraordinary.
Qin Mo was neither anxious nor slow, he had already made up his mind, and said calmly: "I have a better suggestion, I just don't know if you are interested?"
"What proposal?" Wei Tianli asked curiously.
"I can recommend you as the governor of Liaodong." Qin Mo said.
As the Grand Tutor, Qin Mo will have to let go of Liaodong sooner or later, as it is out of reach. In this case, he might as well take the opportunity to sell it for a good price.
As for passing it on to Xu Qiang and Zhao Liuyun, that was really redundant. Considering the relationship between the two and Qin Mo, being able to be promoted to the position of prefect was already the most they could do.
How could I possibly bother planning anymore?
"Name a price." Wei Tianli tried his best to calm down. He did not doubt that Qin Mo had the ability.
Compared with the prefect, the position of Liaodong Jiedushi is naturally more tempting.
Because of the foundation laid by Qin Mo before, and Liaodong's unique geographical advantages, in a sense, especially for players, the position of Liaodong Jiedushi even exceeds that of a governor of an ordinary state.
Wei Tianli didn't think Qin Mo would be so kind.
It is bound to cause heavy bleeding.
But Wei Tianli was also happy to make this deal. If he really wanted to get this position, with his connections and resources, he would be able to run the business better and more outstandingly than Qin Mo.
Naturally, it is easier to achieve results.
This is exactly what he had dreamed of!
Wei Tianli tried to remain calm, just because he didn't want Qin Mo to see through him and take the opportunity to raise the price.
"I want this number." Qin Mo stretched out a finger.
"Ten million?"
Wei Tianli breathed a sigh of relief. It was not an exorbitant sum, but within his tolerance. After all, he had promised five million to win the position of governor.
"No, it's one hundred million." Qin Mo said lightly.
"Ahem..." Wei Tianli was about to drink his tea when he choked on it. He was stunned and looked at Qin Mo as if he was a fool. "Are you kidding me?"
He is rich, but it is impossible for him to spend 100 million casually.
"I never joke."
From beginning to end, Qin Mo's tone of voice never changed. He said calmly, "For others, it may not be worth the price, but for you, it is definitely worth it, isn't it?"
Wei Tianli's eyes condensed, flashing with a cold light, and he said in a deep voice: "What else do you know?"
He had long suspected Qin Mo's identity.
Come to think of it, if Qin Mo was just an ordinary person, how could he have such an opportunity in "Honghuang" and leave other players far behind?
Moreover, at such a young age, he has such grace and demeanor, and doesn't look like someone from a small place.
"It's not important, is it?" Qin Mo avoided answering. He had already guessed something from the changes in Wei Tianli's heartbeat, and he became more and more certain.
This guy must pretend to be the best...
"Are you from Taoism?" Wei Tianli couldn't help it after all.
Qin Mo glanced at Wei Tianli, and there was a hint of mental oppression in his eyes.
Unfathomable.
Wei Tianli was startled and instantly came to his senses. He smiled bitterly and said, "I was rude. Just pretend that I said nothing and asked nothing." He had sneered at Taoism before, but now, he didn't dare to offend it.
Even instinctively felt a little fear.
"So, what's your answer?" Qin Mo turned the teacup nonchalantly, his voice flat: "You should know that one step ahead means every step. You are not the only one interested in the post of Liaodong Jiedushi."
Qin Mo stopped talking here.
Wei Tianli's expression changed constantly. He gritted his teeth and said, "One hundred million is one hundred million. Just consider it as making a friend." He was originally a businessman and had a gambling nature in his bones.
If I can establish a relationship with the Taoist sect, then this one hundred million will not be in vain.
Let’s not talk about this for now.
For now, if he could establish a closer relationship with Qin Mo, the current Grand Tutor, given Qin Mo's influence in the court, it would not be impossible to promote him to be the Governor of Youzhou in the future.
Wei Tianli spent 100 million to buy a possibility for the future and did not feel that he was at a disadvantage.
"Well, deal!" Qin Mo breathed a sigh of relief.
Extortion is a technical job.
"Can this transaction be kept confidential?" Wei Tianli said.
It is easy to imagine what kind of waves it would cause in reality if this matter was leaked. Wei Tianli is not a fool, why would he spend 100 million to exchange for a position in "Honghuang"?
It doesn't make sense no matter how you think about it.
All kinds of suspicions and temptations will inevitably follow, which means endless troubles.
Wei Tianli is afraid of trouble, and is even more worried that the secret of "Honghuang" will be implicated. Once more people know it, the competition in "Honghuang" will inevitably become more intense in the future.
It's not as comfortable as the secret development we have now.
"Of course." Qin Mo is also a person who is afraid of trouble, and he doesn't want to be the focus of other people's attention.
The two reached an agreement on this.
…
After seeing Wei Tianli off, the newly appointed Chief Clerk Jia Xu walked into the study, handed over a memorial, and said, "Sir, is this the proper way to write the memorial?"
This was the first memorial Qin Mo was going to submit.
