My different world is game mode.

Chapter 286 Businessman’s Philosophy

Lindsay is not a layman who cannot read the air.

So when he saw Elini in the night, his first reaction was that his left hand was injured and was not suitable for using a bow and arrow. Naturally, he started to select the weapons in his bag.

Vine whip, ice badger dagger, meteorite dagger...

"Ugh?"

Lindsay's stop made Elini at the door a little at a loss.

The business girl didn't want to let the opportunity slip away quietly due to hesitation, so she simply walked over to Lindsay:

"Lindsay, why don't you reply? Is there something on me?"

"..."

Lindsay's expression turned rather strange.

And this attitude is enough for a shrewd businessman to react.

Elini was clever and immediately spread her hands to show that she did not pose any threat:

"Wait! Didn't you misunderstand something?"

"Lindsay, I'm just a fourth-stage businessman. I can never pose any threat to you!"

Elini reacted extremely quickly.

While accurately predicting Lindsay's psychological changes, he also showed that he had no ill intentions.

Facing such a business girl, Lindsay could only shake her head and sigh:

"Elini, do you usually react so quickly?"

Elini smiled and replied:

"No businessman who is out alone is slow to respond."

"Although Lord Kuite has given me a lot of money, I have no intention of handing over my life to this mission."

At this point, Elini's tone became a little helpless.

She looked at Lindsay seriously and said half as a reminder and half as a test:

"After all, this involves the interests of the world. If something happens, I will be involved."

"..."

Are you planning to be honest?

If it hadn't been for the conversation with the wizard just now.

Lindsay may not realize that the world of Montenegro, which she regards as a huge danger, actually has unparalleled value in the eyes of others.

Elini's temptation at this time may be a reminder to herself.

This is releasing goodwill.

Lindsay's eyes narrowed. At this time, soldiers patrolling at night happened to appear on the street in the distance.

He didn't want to cause any trouble and make too much noise.

Then he led the way back home, and then he tentatively said:

"The world of Montenegro is indeed valuable, but if you come to me so late, you must have other things to do, right?"

Elini breathed a sigh of relief:

"My original intention is - it seems that you are planning to do some business here, so I wanted to ask if there is anything we can cooperate with."

Lindsay asked rhetorically:

"This was the original idea, but what now?"

Elini followed Lindsay into the house.

She spotted a chair she used when she was cutting wood during the day, and sat on it calmly:

"Now, I want to have a good talk with you."

"Lindsay, you also know that I was entrusted by Lord Quite to communicate with you, and I must be responsible for observation. This can easily cause some misunderstandings."

Lindsay raised her eyebrows and spoke in a subtle tone:

"Is it really okay to say this directly?"

Elini smiled:

"Honesty and lies are both very important tactics in negotiation. I think you are more suitable for the former, so here you go."

Elini winked her left eye cutely:

"I guess I guessed it right?"

Lindsay shrugged without comment, while the business girl continued:

"Simply put, I don't want this mission to damage our relationship."

"I can only dream of a trading partner like you who can provide excellent goods."

Lindsay asked back:

"But if you tell me about this kind of thing, Kuite will be in trouble." "The relationship between businessmen is not a subordinate relationship, but competition." Elini raised a smile at the corner of her mouth, "And Kuite Lord Tui is following the path of 'money is everything', while I am following the path of 'value trading'. Even from the perspective of an awakened person, we are not on the same page."

'Money is everything'?

'Value trade'?

This kind of topic involves Lindsay's knowledge blind spot.

His understanding of awakened people like merchants only came from some simple written records, followed by Somkin in the hidden border.

Elini saw Lindsay's hesitation and took the initiative to explain:

"The merchants in the Platinum City all regard trading as the core of their skills, but there are differences."

“One of them pursues the idea that money is everything in the world, regards it as its essence, and all abilities revolve around this aspect;

People like me care more about the transaction process itself, or the certain value presented in the process. "

Lindsay immediately understood the professional divide among businessmen.

This is like the three branches of the war school. They are all warriors who are good at fighting, but there are differences in their skills.

Lindsay's quick understanding made Elini feel a little moved.

For people outside of business, these concepts are not easy to understand immediately. Lindsay, who was born in a hidden frontier, seems to have a good knowledge of natural history.

Thinking like this, Elini's eyes shifted to the wooden shelves in the room. The white plant shelves are already quite rudimentary and can even see some use.

"Lindsay, are you going to sell your goods here?"

Lindsay nodded:

"I have a teacher who is a botanist. He taught me a lot of knowledge in this area. I should review it if I have the opportunity."

"The courtyard in the middle of the forest is the most suitable place." Elini nodded in agreement, and then offered her opinion, "But if you want to do business, I still recommend that you go to the south of the city. There is less traffic in the northeastern part of the city, and the shops I’m afraid the situation will not get better easily.”

Lindsay shook her head indifferently:

"It doesn't matter, I'm just doing experiments here. After all, I can't stay here forever."

Elini asked tentatively:

"You have to leave as soon as you recover from your injury. Do you mind telling me when?"

Lindsay's estimate in mind was 20 days.

But this time in his answer, he slightly exaggerated the scope, which was also a hint to the business girl:

"More than twenty days, almost a month."

"Um……"

Elini lowered her head and thought.

This answer changed her view of Lindsay's identity.

"In this case, we won't be able to do any long-term cooperation."

"But Lindsay, you are also new to the Forest Garden. You should also plan to collect some seeds and plant samples, right?"

Having said this, Elini puffed up her chest:

"I'm not boasting, I'm pretty confident in this aspect."

Lindsay smiled and joked:

"Are you going to earn back all the gold coins I earned from you?"

Elini stood up directly from the chair:

"Hey, this is a normal flow of funds."

The girl stepped forward and whispered in Lindsay's ear:

"Besides, the prices I give you are the most reasonable. You should have asked about them in the market, right?"

Lindsay shrugged:

"You are really well-informed."

"..."

The two spent half the night chatting at Lindsay's house.

The relationship has also developed from the previous alienation to the feeling between friends.

Wait until the night is quiet.

Lindsay sent Elini to the next door, and he went home alone to prepare for a rest, sighing with emotion about tonight's development.

On the premise that I have a grudge in my heart.

The business girl not only quickly realized the source of the problem.

Moreover, a few words changed the relationship between the two people, and finally they even negotiated a business deal.

"No wonder that Quite from the Riverside Chamber of Commerce hired Elini, who has different ideas, to deal with me."

"What an outstanding businessman, he is truly amazing."
