Listening to their conversation, Eulasis was also a bit puzzled in his heart. This place worships Athena, not the Goddess of Wealth. Why are they all thanking God for the increase in their assets?
So he took the opportunity to check it out when he went to the bathroom.
For a top tycoon like him, of course, he had a lot of channels to get information. He immediately found that Hartley, who received him here today, had a rapid rise in wealth and influence in the past two weeks!
The wealth in his hands had more than doubled in the past two weeks, and his influence in the circle was also increasing day by day.
Not only that, the assets of several tycoons present today had all increased in the past week. The most increased by 40%, and the least was 15%.
After all, the assets of these tycoons were at least in the hundreds of millions.
Especially in the recent economic downturn, it was unusual for these tycoons in different industries to have a large increase in their assets at the same time.
Of course, in the eyes of Eulasis, these people could only be described as little kids. His personal assets were amazing. Even if all the people present added up, they couldn't compare to him.
However, soon, the confusion in Eulasis' heart was answered because he witnessed a business contract within the church after the meal …
This signing of the contract had completely overturned his imagination. It could be said that since ancient times, there had never been a f * cking business (yes, it was rare for Eulakis to swear, but if he did not swear, he would not be able to express his feelings). However, this kind of thing happened right in front of him.
The subject of this business contract was a rich businessman named Donnies. He now received a large order for olive oil and wanted to purchase it.
Then, the supplier of olive oil was also a believer of the church called Samaris. His business scope included oil refining.
Another believer, Karnezis, was a big manor owner and grain merchant. He could get a large number of olives.
The normal negotiation sequence should be that Donnies would give the supplier a tender, then he would keep the price of the large order completely confidential. Finally, he would choose the supplier with the cheapest price to maximize his benefits.
Samaris, who was in charge of oil refining, should raise the price of his olive oil as much as possible, and then lower the purchase price of olives.
Karnezis, who supplied the raw olives, should exaggerate his purchase cost as much as possible, and then get more benefits from Samaris.
Of course, this was a normal business operation.
However, what Eulakis saw was that Donnies, who was supposed to have the initiative, actually took the lead and calmly said, "I'm sorry.
"Dear fellow church member, I recently received a large order. The total amount of this order is XXXX …"
That's right, he actually revealed his trump card to everyone the moment he arrived!
Samaris, who was in charge of refining oil, stood up and listed out the cost of his machines and labor.
In the end, Karnezis calmly reported the price he paid for the olives …
Such a business worth tens of millions of euros should have been a battle of words and a large number of negotiation teams. At this moment, the three parties revealed their trump cards at the same time and began the negotiation in a transparent state.
They didn't even need the help of their assistants. The three of them first deducted all the costs and calculated the profits of this large order.
Then, the three rich businessmen had been working in this industry for a long time, so after a few minutes of discussion, they decided to distribute the profits according to each person's contribution.
For example, now that olive oil was in short supply, the contribution of Donnies who supplied the order would be lower.
For example, now that there were more olive oil factories, the contribution of Samaris would be lower.
In the end, the profits would be distributed according to each person's contribution. In this transaction, olive oil was slightly unsalable.
Therefore, the final profit distribution ratio was 40% for Donnies, 30% for Samaris, and 30% for Karnezis.
This kind of transaction seemed very fair and worry-free. As for the profits, because of the elimination of many links, it would inevitably increase a lot. The quality of the products would also be guaranteed.
But the most important thing was that no one among the three could falsely report the cost. Otherwise, it would be a tragedy.
Eulakis, of course, raised a relevant question to Hartley. Hartley smiled and said, "This kind of transaction will only be conducted by our believers.
"This kind of transaction will only be conducted among our devout believers. The glory of the Goddess shines upon us, and we will not deceive each other."
"Not only that, their contract will be sent to the front of the sacred altar for 24 hours. If anyone lies, they will be exposed under the gaze of the True Goddess."
"No one is willing to lose their status before the Goddess for worldly wealth. Therefore, our relationship is as close as that of brothers."
After hearing Hartley's words, Eulakis was even more shocked. If there really was such a core mechanism, then this circle would inevitably shine brightly in a short period of time. In the way of business, the most important thing was information and connections. The most difficult thing was to establish credibility.
With such a circle similar to a chamber of commerce, those who participated in it would all confide in each other with transparent information. Others simply couldn't compete with them.
In the end, Eulacis was still a weak patient. Even though he had miraculously stood up, he suddenly felt exhausted after chatting for a while after the meal. He bid farewell to Hartley and wanted to return home. He couldn't wait to make an appointment for a visit the next day.
However, just when Eulakis was less than 2 kilometers away from the manor with the convoy, he suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable all over his body. It seemed that the previous improvement was just a flash in the pan. All the previous pains came back to him again.
Eulakis' heart was suddenly moved. He immediately shouted as if he was blessed with good fortune.
"Stop the car!! Stop the car … "
He had a weak body for a long time. His shout was actually not loud. After shouting a few times, he started coughing loudly.
His wife sitting next to him of course came over nervously to serve him.
However, Eulakis couldn't calm down at all and coughed very badly.
Fortunately, his seat must have been modified. He smashed the front alarm button with his fist. The driver saw it and of course immediately stopped the car to check. The whole convoy was in chaos.
At this time, Eulakis took the medicine sent by the private doctor and took a few mouthfuls. Only then could he gasp and said,
"Turn around … go back …"
Although the rest of the people secretly cursed this old thing in their hearts, they still had the final say. They immediately turned the convoy back.
Sure enough, Eulakis found that when he was within 1 kilometer of the manor, his body obviously became relaxed, and the pain in his body was slowly suppressed.
In this case, Eulakis let out a long sigh and dialed Hartke's number …
***
What Eulakis didn't know was that his returning convoy was being watched from a high place.
This person was High Priest Teritogonia.
The road was dotted with stars, and the headlights of the cars connected to each other fell into her bright eyes, causing her to reveal a faint smile at the corner of her mouth.
At this time, the high priest's eyes were like looking at an insect that had fallen into a spider's web.
Monstrous power, amazing wealth.
In her eyes, they were all ants.
At this time, she had changed out of the complicated and solemn long dress and was wearing a simple office lady outfit. She looked fashionable and capable. She no longer looked like a sacred high priestess, but a female CEO with a lot of power.
In fact, absorbing Eulakis as a devout believer was a very important part of High Priest Teritogonia's next plan. The connections and resources of this kind of top tycoon were indispensable for the expansion of the sect.
Therefore, when Eulakis came to the door of the hall, the high priest cast the divine art of Dispel Disease on him.
Although Eulakis was suffering from a terminal disease, this divine art could also alleviate his symptoms.
Of course, the high priest also did something. Once Eulakis was two kilometers away from the range of the Goddess' Holy Statue, the effect of the divine art would rapidly weaken.
Not only that, but as the number of believers increased, the amount of willpower that Athena could collect also increased. Of course, High Priestess Teritogonia didn't completely rely on the Golden Twin Snake Scepter to cast divine spells like Fang Linyan had said.
But even if she could cast it, most of it would be a level-0 divine art. As for the cost of casting it, the power of the whole world seemed to be suppressed when casting it.
Therefore, even if she, the spokesperson of God in the human world, cast a miracle, the consumption of willpower was very astonishing. It was ten times that of the original world!!!
About half an hour later, there was a slight knock on the solid wooden door next to her. A female assistant came in and said respectfully to the high priest, "Master, the flight for Tai City has been booked.
"Master, the plane to Tai City has been arranged. It will take off in three hours."
The high priest nodded slightly.
"Okay, I see."
Seeing that she did not seem to have any intention of leaving, the high priest said:
"Is there anything else?"
The female assistant said softly:
"The purchase list you submitted before has been collected, but a believer said that there are metals involved in the military and are strictly prohibited from being exported. It will be very troublesome if you are found, so please be careful when you are at the airport …"
Teritogonia said faintly:
"Got it."
But at this time, another female assistant suddenly said:
"Just now, Mr. Hartke said that Mr. Eulakis heard that you are about to travel, so he is very willing to take out his private plane for you to take."
A smile appeared on Teritogonia's lips:
"It's not good to keep people a thousand miles away, so give him a chance."
