Feka, Dajing resident.
Hope and Lai Gouer sat opposite each other, with many exquisite delicacies placed in front of them.
There was also a hand-cranked phonograph next to Lai Gou'er's hand.
Ever since Father Solger caused a big incident in the Holy City.
After returning to Feika, Lai Gou'er and Hope never stopped writing letters to each other.
Although Hope relies on the church to do business, he obviously despises many of the church's actions.
He had helped Father Solger in the Holy City. He had outstanding abilities and a deep understanding of the church, so he was naturally an excellent partner.
Lai Gou'er will not give up this opportunity.
As a businessman, Hope naturally wanted to obtain the right to sell Dajing's goods.
Therefore, the relationship between the two has always been harmonious.
There is already a conflict of interest between the church and Dajing, and Lai Gouer has not forgotten the task assigned by Fang Zhengyi.
A few days after returning to Feika, he invited Hope to come.
Only Hope was capable of helping him get the structural diagram of the interior of the Temple Mount.
"Brother Lai, I was reluctant to come when you invited me at first. But I didn't expect that Feika would really open my eyes." Hope exclaimed while cutting steak.
Originally, Feika was quite far from the holy city, and he was really reluctant to come, but he could not resist Lai Gouer's repeated requests.
After thinking about it, I decided to give him this face.
First, he was somewhat curious about Father Soljie's situation, and second, he was now doing business with Dajing and making a lot of money.
It would not be beautiful if Lai Gouer got angry.
Of course, he did have something he wanted to talk about in person...
However, as soon as he arrived at the main city of Feika, his horizons were broadened!
The domestic situation in Feka is beyond imagination... Although it is not as wealthy as the Holy City, judging from the performance of the residents, it is full of energy and spirit.
Moreover, the streets are swept clean, without any of the gloomy atmosphere of other cities.
The most important thing is the believers... The behavior of the believers is completely different from that of the believers in the holy city. Many people in the church have a kind of satisfaction from the heart reflected on their faces.
Lai Gou'er smiled slightly and said, "This is all thanks to Father Solger and Duke Alvis."
"After the incident in the Holy City, the priest has decided to leave the church and restore the doctrine to work on his own, but he still maintains the management of the church on the surface."
"But the church has already learned about the situation and can't hold it back any longer. Before I returned home, rumors spread that Father Solger had apostatized and that he had experienced two assassination attempts."
Hope frowned. "This is just a common tactic used by the church. It's a miracle that they have let the priest go until now! If the outside world hadn't promoted the priest as a priest blessed by the Holy Father, I'm afraid he would have died long ago."
"By the way, Brother Lai, why did you insist on inviting me this time? Is there any change in our business?"
Lai Gou'er waved his hand gently: "Brother Hope, I treat you as a friend."
"Of course you need to see this friend occasionally. It's nothing, just want to chat with you, no need to be serious."
Hope raised his eyebrows, looked at Lai Gou'er playfully, and smacked his lips.
"Just chatting, I have something I've always wanted to ask you..."
"Speak out what you know."
Hope leaned forward slightly and whispered, "I have never seen a woman from Dajing. A woman from Dajing...is she...that big?"
"Big one? Which one?" Lai Gou'er asked in confusion.
"That's it, how could you not understand? Tsk, it's just the big throw!"
"Uh... the dice, the dice don't seem to be as big as the ones here."
Hope leaned back in his chair and pouted, "That's boring. I have nothing to ask then."
"Can't you talk about something else besides women?" Lai Gou'er said helplessly.
Hope is a carefree man with a vicious look in his eyes, and his taste in women seems to be different from that of ordinary people.
It is hard to imagine that he is so happy to do this even though he is already worth a lot of money.
"Hehe, you can talk about whatever you want."
Lai Gou'er said, "I've always been curious. You have such a big business with the support of the church's upper echelons. How do you maintain this relationship on a daily basis? In addition to giving money, do you have any exclusive skills? Teach me."
"Hey!" Hope perked up. "You know what? You asked the right person. I have special bribery skills."
Hope poked the steak on the plate with his knife and said, "It's not that complicated. Look at the steak we eat. It's just fried in oil and sprinkled with a little salt to become a rare delicacy."
"It turns out that high-end ingredients can often achieve excellent results with the simplest cooking methods. The same goes for building relationships."
“This high-end social interaction often uses only the most primitive methods of communication.”
"Oh?" Lai Gou'er rested one elbow on the table and listened quietly.
"From what you said, it's nothing more than sending a beautiful woman. Isn't that unusual?"
Hope's mouth twisted, "Is it enough to just give away beauties? The church's upper echelons have seen all kinds of beauties, from teens to virgins in their thirties, they're tired of playing with them!"
"So, let's think of something new. I won't give it to any other woman. I'll give it to my wife!"
"Fuck! You're pretty fucking cruel!" Lai Gou'er was shocked and re-evaluated Hope.
The impression of this guy was refreshed in his mind.
The bottom line seems a bit low!
Hope snorted, "Why do you think I keep so many women and go out with a bunch of women to parade around the streets? These are all my resources for bribery!"
"I did this to let everyone in the Holy City know that these women are my true loves!"
"Can you imagine how those sanctimonious church leaders in the temple felt when they knew the woman in bed was the beloved lover of the famous businessman Hope? They were playing for the excitement!"
"I want to find someone to do something for me. Do you think it will go smoothly? At worst, I can just give him some more money and all the problems will be solved!"
Lai Gou'er hesitated and said, "Then... where can you put your face?"
Hope laughed, with a hint of bitterness in his smile: "Face? Outsiders think I'm glamorous, but the upper class thinks I'm a joke!"
"Ah... But I don't care. I realized in my twenties that this world is just so cruel."
"If you want to be good at the church and not fall into the ranks of common people, there is only one way to do it."
"What kind of mind method?"
“The means justify the means, and only the fittest survive.”
