Chapter 282 Li Qin's Reprimand
Wang Li's biggest worry is that Li Qin won't care about these things, then there will be nothing to talk about.
Seeing Li Qin's "open-mindedness," a look of joy flashed across Wang Li's face.
At this moment, Li Qin spoke again;
"So you want to renegotiate the profit-sharing arrangement with me?"
Wang Li and the others immediately nodded;
"Yes!"
Li Qin did not immediately agree, but he also did not decisively refuse; instead, he remained silent.
His fingers tapped unconsciously on the table in front of him.
Seeing Li Qin's attitude, Wang Li and the others couldn't help but show worry on their faces.
They are certainly very willing to cooperate with Li Qin.
The supplies provided by Li Qin were not only of high quality, but they also didn't need to worry about anything except the retail stage.
It saves a lot of trouble.
The risks are also much smaller.
Moreover, with the material support provided by Li Qin, the black market they controlled saw a larger flow of people, and their business naturally improved.
Therefore, Wang Li and his group still very much hope to continue cooperating with Li Qin.
Conversely, they were not Li Qin's only partners.
The black market in Beijing isn't limited to just these few individuals.
Although the remaining black market is not as large as the one they control, the difference is not significant.
With Li Qin's support, these black markets could develop rapidly.
It wouldn't be difficult to force them to equalize, or even surpass, the black market they control.
Therefore, from the very beginning, Li Qin held the absolute initiative and the dominant position in this cooperation.
Although they wanted to gain more benefits, they did not want to lose the opportunity to cooperate with Li Qin.
Because if the cooperation were to end, the losses they would suffer would be too great.
"Thump! Thump! Thump!"
As Li Qin tapped the table, Wang Li and the others gradually began to feel regret, and even anxiety.
All of this was done intentionally by Li Qin.
Although he felt he could concede some of his profits, he couldn't easily agree, as that would only make Wang Li and the others think he was easy to talk to.
They might even try to take advantage of him in the future, wanting to extract more benefits from him.
This would affect Li Qin's own income.
It will also directly affect the forging of the alchemy pagoda.
This is something Li Qin cannot allow.
Therefore, when Wang Li and the others first made their request, Li Qin needed to let them know that the initiative for cooperation had always been in his hands.
This also prevented Wang Li and the others from having any inappropriate thoughts in the future.
After a while, seeing that Wang Li and the others' emotions had begun to change significantly, Li Qin stopped banging on the table.
"So how much do you hope to get?"
Li Qin looked calmly at Wang Li and the other three.
Hearing the tapping on the table stop, Li Qin spoke again, and Wang Li and the other three immediately relaxed.
Although Li Qin didn't say anything or even show any obvious change in expression just now, they felt an indescribable pressure.
This time, Li Qin spoke in a very casual tone.
But the four of them couldn't help but feel a jolt in their hearts.
They knew they needed to be careful this time, especially if their demands exceeded Li Qin's expectations.
Then, let alone getting more benefits from Li Qin, it's uncertain whether we can even continue our cooperation.
In fact, Wang Li had secretly met with others to discuss the redistribution of profits before he arrived.
At the time, all four were in complete agreement: to try their best to gain as much benefit as possible from Li Qin.
This is the nature of a businessman.
It is unavoidable.
But when they actually stood before Li Qin, the four of them had long forgotten about what they had discussed earlier.
In response to Li Qin's questioning.
The four of them exchanged another silent glance.
In the end, it seemed that a tacit understanding was reached;
"Half a percent, we hope Mr. Qin can give us another half a percent."
Wang Li and the other three spoke with a mixture of helplessness and bitterness.
This time, it was Li Qin's turn to be surprised.
In his opinion, even if these people didn't ask for an exorbitant amount, they would definitely seize the opportunity to try and get more benefits.
But now they're only asking for half a percent.
According to the information Li Qin collected, after using half of the profits to bribe officials and maintain normal operations, there wasn't much left.
In other words, the fact that these people only took half a percent is not much.
Li Qin gave the four people in front of him a deep look.
Faced with Li Qin's gaze, Wang Li and the others subconsciously looked away to avoid direct eye contact with him.
Upon seeing this, a strange light flashed in Li Qin's eyes.
Then, still speaking in a detached voice:
"Half a percent? We've already given you 15 percent, so adding this half a percent makes it 20 percent. This request is reasonable."
I agree!
Upon hearing that Li Qin had readily agreed to their request, Wang Li and the others immediately smiled.
The black market was actually targeted not only because Li Qin provided the supplies.
It was also because the black market they controlled was the largest in Beijing.
Even without Li Qin's supplies, being targeted was inevitable.
Therefore, strictly speaking, they should also bear a portion of the money used to build and maintain relationships.
So, even if they get half a percent of the profits from Li Qin, they can still make a profit.
Although I didn't earn much, it's better than nothing.
"Thank you, Mr. Qin!"
Wang Li and the other three quickly clasped their hands in thanks.
Li Qin waved his hand dismissively.
However, Li Qin's expression suddenly changed;
"However, there are some things I need to make clear. The fact that the black market has come under scrutiny this time is indeed partly due to my own actions."
In addition, you guys have been relatively honest in the previous transactions, and I don't want to waste energy changing partners.
That's why I'm willing to give up some of my profits this time.
But you must remember this is the first and last time. No matter what problems you encounter in the future, I will not care.
My interests must not be harmed in any way.
When Wang Li and the others heard that Li Qin was willing to make concessions, they felt that Mr. Qin in front of them did not seem as cold as he appeared.
However, Li Qin's next words caused Wang Li and the other three to change their expressions.
They clearly sensed the coldness in Li Qin's words.
Furthermore, they also knew that Li Qin hadn't actually finished his last sentence.
If they harm Li Qin's interests in future transactions, the best-case scenario would be to terminate the cooperation directly.
If their luck runs out, their fate could be unpredictable.
They would never forget that the person in front of them was no ordinary person, but someone who possessed mysterious and strange powers.
He was a legendary extraordinary person.
Just by looking into their eyes, you could tell that human life meant nothing to them.
Thinking of this, Wang Li and the others couldn't help but tremble.
They then nodded in unison and said;
"Mr. Qin, rest assured, this was an accident, and it will definitely not happen again next time."
Li Qin listened to the assurances of the people in front of him but did not take them to heart.
He had more faith in his own abilities than in the assurances of these people.
