War Palace and Knee Pillow, Austria’s Destiny

Chapter 53 Business without capital

Costa believed that Miss Talia would definitely come to see him again. Although she tried her best to conceal her interest in the high-yielding wheat, her eyes could not deceive anyone.

For the seeds of this high-yielding wheat, Costa has to thank another of his patrons, a botanist from France.

The French botanist not only paid for it, but also took the same boat with Costa's expedition to the Amazon rainforest.

Thanks to this well-informed botanist along the way, Costa and his expedition were prevented from being destroyed by accidentally eating poisonous plants.

Deep in the rain forest, they found a ruins, but unfortunately there was no gold or jewelry. Just when everyone was disappointed and ready to leave.

The French botanist shouted excitedly, saying that he had discovered a treasure. The members of the expedition pushed the botanist away but only saw a wheat field.

Everyone couldn't stop sighing. The botanist was crazy.

But the excited botanist began to introduce his discovery to everyone.

He said that this kind of wheat can increase wheat production in Europe by at least 10%. It is a food that can change the destiny of mankind, and he will be remembered by this history.

However, he was eventually forgotten by history.

The expedition team members, motivated by the wealth, killed the botanist and buried him under the wheat field.

The expedition team members stole the results of the botanists, but after returning to Europe, no one bought their account. Not only were the seeds not sold, but they were regarded as cheaters and expelled repeatedly.

At this time, they remembered their other patron and the rubber tree seeds soaked in the water tank.

Now Costa and his men regard Thalia as a fat sheep and want to make a lot of money.

"Boss, Miss Talia is here." A bald man dressed as a farmer walked into the house, interrupting Costa's memories.

"Great, invite her over quickly." Costa said, pouring the powder into the teapot and shaking it well.

After a while, the door was pushed open, and the bald man walked in with Miss Talia and a young gentleman.

Costa was a little confused, why was there another person before? Aren't her bodyguards standing at the door?

Thalia smiled and said, "Please allow me to introduce you. This is Professor Xussel from the University of Vienna. He is a botanist."

When he heard the botanist, the corners of Costa's mouth twitched twice.

It returned to normal immediately. Miss Talia left at that time to find a botanist to inspect the goods, which can be explained.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Hussel. My name is Costa, a professional explorer."

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Costa. Miss Talia said that you have discovered a new variety of wheat." At this time, Xussel specially found a wig and looked like a retro scholar.

"Yes, I found this in one of the ruins in the Amazon rainforest."

Costa was eloquent and began to tell stories about his adventures again, while making secret glances at Thalia.

Xussel didn't want to hear nonsense, so he had to interrupt him and said, "Can I see the sample?"

"sure."

Xussel had some knowledge of botany, and he was sure that this was wheat, just larger than the European ones.

Xu Ser took out a hand-held magnifying glass from his coat pocket, looked at it for a long time, crushed a few grains with his hands, smelled it, and then said seriously.

“It’s not wheat, it’s the food of the Incas, quinoa.”

Costa was completely confused. Was he deceived?

Xussel was well prepared. He immediately took out a thick plant encyclopedia, dipped a little saliva on his fingers, flipped through the book, finally stopped on a page, and handed it to Costa.

The picture on the page is very similar to the new variety of wheat in front of me, and the note next to it clearly says that quinoa is a food of the Incas and originated in South America.

Costa was a little speechless. He didn't expect that after killing people and grabbing treasures, what he got in the end was worthless junk.

At this time, Xu Sel felt that the heat was coming, and continued, "Miss Talia, quinoa may appear in different colors when mature, and it is very beautiful. Why don't you buy some and plant them in your garden? It is also a very good choice. "

Thalia pretended to be embarrassed.

"Now that you say so, I will pay ten thousand florins for these quinoa seeds."

Xussel struck while the iron was hot.

"Mr. Costa, it's rare to see someone as generous as Miss Talia."

Costa gritted his teeth. He didn't know how much the quinoa was worth, but he knew that if it was what the botanist said, these seeds would definitely rot in his hands.

Instead of making nothing at all, it would be better to make ten thousand florins first.

"Okay, it's a deal for Miss Thalia's sake."

Thalia took out another check and wrote the amount of 10,000 florins on it.

Costa was a little depressed, fearing that his fifty thousand florins would be wasted. But he had other plans and braced himself.

"Miss Talia, I have prepared the seeds of the rubber tree. I can send someone to pick them up whenever you want them. Have you brought your check?"

"Of course, the check is right here, a check guaranteed by Rothschild Bank." Thalia took out the check and put it on the table.

Costa checked it and saw that the check was genuine, so he smiled and said.

"Miss Thalia, I wish us a happy cooperation, let's have a cup of tea together." Costa picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Thalia. "This is the best English black tea."

Thalia picked up the tea cup, smelled it, and said with a smile, "It is indeed good tea!"

But Talia did not drink directly, but said, "Mr. Costa, I want to make a contract, which will be good for both of us."

"No problem, I'll get the paper." Costa turned and left.

After Costa left, Thalia took Costa's cup over and smelled it, and then changed the positions of the two cups.

Thalia's operation made Xussel a little confused.

After a while, Costa returned to the room with the banknotes and the seal.

"You've been waiting for a long time, Miss Thalia. Please."

The two parties soon drew up a contract, and Thalia touched the teacup and said.

"Mr. Costa, if you don't drink tea, it will be cold. I wish us a happy cooperation."

Thalia drank the tea in one gulp, and Costa touched the tea cup. The temperature was just right and drank the tea in one gulp.

"Mr. Xussel, thank you very much for today. Wherever you live, I will ask my men to take you back."

Costa is expelling guests, and Thalia wants to wait for the seeds of the rubber tree, so she wants to stay.

Xussel looked at Thalia, and Thalia nodded, indicating that it was okay.

Costa had Xussel sent away, returned to the room very excitedly, and then suddenly said, "You will be mine soon."

"What did you say?" Thalia asked.

Costa realized that he had said something wrong and wanted to correct it, but suddenly everything in front of him became distorted. He couldn't even stand still and staggered back to his seat.

"Where am I?" Costa said.

Thalia knew it must be the cup of tea, and smiled.

"I've never had any good tea at Franz's, and I know there's something wrong with your tea as soon as I smell it. Give me back my check, or I'll go to the gendarmerie to sue you."

Thalia wanted to scare the man in front of her, but the man in front of her actually took out the check.

"Did he lose consciousness?" Thalia thought to herself.

Those checks were certified by the contract, and it was impossible for the military police to get them back for Talia.

"Then you tear up the contract too."

Costa took out the contract and tore it into pieces.

"Do you still have quinoa seeds?"

Costa nodded.

"Where's the rest?"

Costa pointed to a large box next to her. Thalia opened the box and found a bag of wheat seeds and a small bag of powder that smelled very fragrant.

Thalia put her things away and waved at the window.

Someone below opened a big net, and Thalia jumped into it.

Thalia's entourage left after getting the seeds of the rubber tree. Costa's men were a little strange and wanted to enter the room to see the situation, but men's moans were heard from time to time in the room.

Thanks to book friend Master Tarasha for the reward, book friend Flamel, Drunken Dreams, book friend 20180205165418813 for their monthly tickets, and all readers for their support.
