Chapter 190 A Sudden Rise of Ambition
Upon hearing Li Qin's words, a glint of light flashed in Wang Li's eyes.
He subconsciously assumed that Li Qin wanted to trade gold and silver because Li Qin's channels were overseas.
Thus, he reassessed Li Qin's power and influence.
"No wonder they were so arrogant, daring to say they could meet the needs of the black market. If their source is overseas, then it makes sense."
A look of realization flashed across Wang Li's eyes.
At this moment, he understood why Li Qin had needed ten days to deliver the supplies to Beijing.
Because the journey is too far.
A look of difficulty suddenly appeared on Wang Li's face again;
"Your Excellency wishes to exchange the money for an equivalent amount of gold or silver, which may be somewhat difficult."
Silver is in a slightly better position, but most of the gold in private hands has now been bought back by the government, and very little is circulating among the public.
Li Qin looked at Wang Li with a strange expression once again.
He acknowledged that what the other person had said was true, but he also knew that it wasn't the whole truth.
The Chinese people's habit of collecting gold and silver is ingrained in their bones, in order to prevent the devaluation of currency.
Li Qin was unsure whether Wang Li was testing him or had other intentions.
He didn't plan to think too much about it for the time being. His goal was very clear, and Wang Li wasn't his only option, so he naturally wouldn't compromise.
"Mr. Wang, I have stated my requirements. If you can meet them, then the cooperation will continue. If you cannot, then the cooperation will end here."
Li Qin has already given Wang Li a considerable profit; if he can't even handle this small favor...
That would only make Li Qi doubt Wang Li's abilities.
Li Qin has no interest in cooperating with people who lack ability.
Hearing Li Qin's firm stance, a strange light flashed in Wang Li's eyes, then he nodded:
"Since you have made this request, I will try my best to fulfill it."
Hearing this, Li Qin nodded in satisfaction.
"I will provide the first batch of supplies, and a week later, I will provide the second batch. At that time, you will need to settle the payment for the first batch."
Li Qin then continued speaking:
"At that time, you just need to place the gold and silver in the agreed place as required."
"Unless there are special circumstances, we won't meet often after this, which will also help avoid some accidents."
Wang Li also acknowledged Li Qin's caution.
After all, although the black market business has the tacit approval of some people above, it is not without its risks.
The more cautious you are, the safer you are.
This applies to both Li Qin and Wang Li.
Li Qin was not worried at all that Wang Li and the others would try to rig the price.
He will then use some means to monitor the black market's goods sales, and if Wang Li tries to cheat him on the price, he will be held accountable.
Li Qin will not show any mercy then.
As for the possibility that Wang Li would embezzle the supplies provided by Li Qin, Li Qin was even less worried.
Given his current abilities, if Wang Li really dared to do that, he would be close to death.
"Since Mr. Wang has no further questions, then I wish us a pleasant cooperation."
Li Qin got up and walked to Wang Li's side, extending a hand to him.
Wang Li was taken aback at first, then immediately stood up and reached out to shake hands with Li Qin.
"It's a pleasure working with you!"
At this moment, a smile also appeared on Wang Li's face.
Although the benefits he could gain from the cooperation with Li Qin were not as much as he had imagined, he could still make a profit at least.
Most importantly, he preserved his power.
He can still be the boss.
"In that case, I'll take my leave now, since contacting suppliers takes time."
Li Qin then prepared to leave.
Of course, contacting suppliers was just an excuse; he wanted to leave as soon as possible mainly because he needed to find a few other people who controlled the black market.
Tonight, Li Qin is prepared to finalize all the details regarding the black market cooperation.
Wang Li heard Li Qin's words and had no doubts, nor did he try to persuade him to stay.
Li casually lifted the spell sealing the room and simultaneously opened the door from a distance.
Then he slowly walked outside.
At this time, the courtyard was still shrouded in thick fog, and visibility was even lower.
Under the wary gazes of Wang Li and his men, Li Qin's expression slowly disappeared into the mist.
As Li Qin left, the thick fog began to gradually dissipate.
The petrification spell cast on the wolfhounds and the armed henchmen that Li Qin had previously used on them had now been lifted.
The barking of the wolfhounds and the terrified cries of the underlings rang out incessantly.
The once quiet courtyard suddenly became noisy.
Fortunately, Wang Li arrived in time and brought the situation under control.
At this moment, Wang Li and his underlings were increasingly in awe of Li Qin's mysterious nature.
After leaving Wang Li and the others' courtyard, Li Qin used the Apparition Spell to instantly appear in several other locations in Beijing.
Next, Li Qin used a similar method to successively reach cooperation agreements with Xiong Shan, Kuang Wen, and Song Qiao, who controlled the largest black markets in the south, west, and north of the city.
Although these people were lawless, their attitude immediately became amiable after Li Qin displayed his mysterious and terrifying power.
The negotiations for cooperation went very smoothly and were successfully concluded.
By the time a suitable partnership for the black market was finalized, it was already past midnight.
Without delay, Li Qin immediately teleported back to his home in the courtyard house.
"This trip was truly worthwhile. Not only did we finalize the subsequent cooperation, but we also have a fixed distribution channel from now on, and the gold and silver will be collected gradually."
Moreover, it also gained a considerable amount of emotional power.
Li Qin's miraculous appearance in public left a deep impression on many people.
Although these people can only provide a small amount of emotional power each time, their numbers add up to several hundred.
Over time, it provides a significant amount of emotional support.
"If the current situation didn't prevent it, I would like to create a religion. At that time, collecting emotional power would be extremely easy."
Just think how many people have faith in those clay sculptures of gods and Buddhas.
Not to mention Li Qin, a living being who possesses mysterious powers that are incomprehensible to ordinary people.
As long as one displays the power of "miracle" emotions, isn't it easy to obtain?
Unfortunately, the current situation does not allow him to do so.
If he actually does it, he will face countless guns and cannons.
"It's true that this approach isn't suitable for China, but it might be feasible in other countries."
Some smaller neighboring countries, or those in the West, are not so strict about religious beliefs.
This gives us a lot of room to maneuver.
Li Qin even considered the world's largest religion: Christianity.
"My current strength is still somewhat insufficient. I will wait until my strength improves further and I master more magical spells."
At that point, we might be able to use this opportunity to our advantage, or even replace it entirely.
Li Qin thought that if he could replace Christianity with his faith, the emotional power he could obtain would be enormous.
"As the only extraordinary being in this world without any extraordinary beings, perhaps I can be bolder."
