Interstellar Gardener Life

Chapter 73 Three parties benefit
Jiang Ling smiled all of a sudden: "Okay." Because she was grateful for Lu Lin's maintenance, she couldn't help but have dimples - this pot of "Twelve Stars" is in Jiang Ling's hands, in the Earth Alliance In your hand, can you sell it for a good price?At most, I can get a little token consideration, anyway, it will definitely be given to Ambassador Ruisen for the "mutual friendship of both parties"!

Instead of this, it's better for her Jiang Ling to give flowers to Lu Lin to ask for favors to save people; and Lu Lin can sell flowers to the Ruisen people for a large sum of money, and do whatever she likes; as for the Ruisen people, They will naturally let this "Twelve Stars" strain play the greatest role.After all, it is the epitome of culture, and it is only seen once in hundreds of years!Although it is just a flower, although it blooms once and then disappears...

Given Jiang Ling's age and experience, she was as clear and white as a bowl of mineral water to Lu Lin, Emon, and Aik.So all three of them discovered immediately, unexpectedly, that Jiang Ling was telling the truth.

Therefore, Aik suddenly became anxious, looked at Lu Lin in pain, but did not dare to stare, so he stared anxiously at Emon; Emon immediately looked at Lu Lin, thinking about something solemnly; and Lu Lin Xinyue Surprised again, he straightened up and stopped teasing Emon, and asked Jiang Ling curiously: "You know, I was just joking."

Not just a joke!It's just that if Jiang Ling hesitates, Lu Lin will really take it as a joke, and say it... So, good opportunities are always fleeting and precious things.

"But I'm serious, Your Excellency." Jiang Ling bowed her body with her heels, her hands on her shoulders, and her back straight. She made a standard Qi Ya ceremony, and brought into full play the elegance and calmness she had learned from Teacher Du. two hundred percent.At the same time, Jiang Ling heard Zhao Yonggang's breathing became low and rapid behind him.

Jiang Ling secretly sighed in her heart; after she finished the ceremony, she stood upright and looked directly at Lu Lin: "During the days when I was taking care of these flowers, I kept praying that they would produce rare treasures. At that time, I decided to make the best of them all." for you."

……

What Jiang Ling said was still the truth and the truth, so Aike and Emon looked at each other and felt helpless; but Lu Lin was puzzled: "Why? Don't tell me it's a gift in return for the carrying bag. You and I are very friendly. It is clear that both the price they can obtain and the significance of them as a gift are too different."

Jiang Ling said frankly: "I beg you to listen to my request."

"What kind of request is that?" Lu Lin made a gesture of invitation, "Just tell me. To be honest, although I don't care about the 'Twelve Stars', it also has its uses—it is enough for me. Subordinates, change some..." At this point, Lu Lin omitted the following words, turned his head and glanced at Amon, his eyes were sharp, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised.

Emon couldn't help but shivered for a moment, and turned to spread his hands towards Aik with a bitter face.But he moved freely without any discomfort.

This is the face of the iron-blooded commander when he goes into battle!Ah, no... This time it can only be regarded as a small warm-up exercise.

And Jiang Ling was even more grateful - because Lu Lin said these words out of goodwill, but in fact, he clearly told her the bottom line of Jiang Ling's conditions, which is still a very generous bottom line.So Jiang Ling relaxed, smiled and stretched: "I would like to ask you to allow an agreement, a redemption agreement. And Jiubao's twin lotus is the ransom money I prepared."

"Prisoner?" Lu Lin was startled, and turned to look at Yale and Hu Duo.

Yale was also taken aback: "We have no prisoners of war."

The corners of Hu Duo's lips curled up in a very small arc: "We-we don't have one at the moment. Miss Jiang, do you want to 'designate' prisoners of war?"

Lu Lin and Yale exchanged glances, stopped talking, and looked at Jiang Ling quietly.

"Designating" prisoners of war means designating a target, that is, requesting protection, peacekeeping, and anti-terrorism.Different military goals and different operational purposes require different costs to win.Some are just a matter of little effort, and some will cause a lot of loss.

The "Twelve Consecutive Stars" is an invaluable treasure in Ruisen, and the power or family that gets it, such as the Ai Kun family behind Ambassador Ruisen, can run a propaganda around it to win a reputation for itself-this is For example, there is a living pot of Wannian plum blossom or Wannian peony in China; it is also the same reason as Coca-Cola spends a large amount of advertising expenses every year.

It's just that, as a huge community of interests, they don't advertise or recruit celebrity spokespersons; the way they adopt is to hold influential events, such as a flower show.As for the reason for holding it...

——National Day has passed?Anniversary yet?No important members celebrate their birthdays?Then a charity exhibition!The grade of the banquet must be the top among the top ones, the tickets must be set high, and then all of them will be donated!

The reason for holding it is not important.What's important is that this event is perfect enough, and the "Twelve Consecutive Stars" that appear in it are rare enough to be envied by people with almost the same status, and enough to expand some contacts that usually don't have the opportunity to expand... Well done, Emperor Your Majesty may also appreciate it...

As for wider publicity, of course there is.But you don’t need to take out the flowers, it’s the same with the virtual ones—you can play with them at will!

So this kind of activity is held more often, and the benefits it brings are huge, subtle, and immeasurable.And the status of the organizer will naturally rise!
Of course, because of cultural relations, Qi Ya's "Twelve Stars" does not have such a role.But it can get a large amount of money or materials from Ruisen.And that would be a price that would make Lu Lin's heart flutter.So it depends on who Jiang Ling's target is.

*********
No prisoners of war?Has it been "handled"?Jiang Ling was flustered: "One of them is Liu Zhiang. This is a pseudonym."

Lu Lin looked at Yale questioningly, Yale nodded, and quickly manipulated the "notebook". After a while, his expression became strange.

When Jiang Ling talked about the redemption agreement, Amon had already walked to the other side of the room with Ayike and two followers.It's just that before they walked over, they moved a few chairs to ensure that they could see the "Twelve Stars" from the opposite corner of the room.

Jiang Ling looked at Yale uneasily.

"They're still alive." Yale got up and walked over, showed the "notebook" to Lu Lin, and at the same time said solemnly to Jiang Ling: "However, Miss Jiang, if there are important people of yours here, you must be mentally prepared."

"What's wrong with them?" Jiang Ling suddenly found that Yale was much scarier than Liao Ju when he was business-like... After all, Yale is also a master!And Yale's age is probably older than Liao Ju's.

And Zhao Yonggang said softly behind Jiang Ling: "It's good to be alive." As he said, he supported Jiang Ling's shoulder, pressed it lightly, and put it back quickly.But the toughness and calm conveyed in this moment are enough to make Jiang Ling relax a little.So Jiang Ling watched Yale quietly, waiting for the next sentence.

Lu Lin nodded, manipulated the notebook, handed it back to Yale, spread his hands regretfully at Jiang Ling, and went back to his seat to drink.

Yale took a look at the things, looked directly at Jiang Ling, and explained calmly and seriously: "First of all, Miss Jiang, I need to point out to you that they are not prisoners of war, so they do not enjoy the prisoner of war regulations. Secondly, I need to tell you, The only reason they're still alive is because they're useful—you see, we're always getting new recruits, including the internal affairs."

Jiang Ling knew that spies and fighters were treated differently after being captured.So Jiang Ling understood the previous paragraph.But Jiang Ling didn't quite understand the meaning of "recruit, internal affairs soldier".Seeing that Jiang Ling was confused, Yale stopped and glanced at Zhao Yonggang.Zhao Yonggang explained to Jiang Ling in a low voice: "Some soldiers in the internal affairs system need to learn torture and counter-torture."

——It turned out to be spies and counter spies!It turns out that they have become living teaching tools for counter-espionage, and they are suffering!
——But still alive, right?There is hope in life, so it is good to live...

Jiang Ling clenched her hands in front of her body, but she remained calm and motioned for Yale to continue.

Yale nodded: "So, all of them are in poor health. In fact, some of them are very poor. So, do you still want to redeem them?"

Jiang Ling forced out two words: "Yes!"

Yale was not surprised, and continued: "This time the situation is special, the ransom is just one Chia coin. They will receive basic treatment. After five days, they will be handed over. Before that, if you want, you can also You can visit them."

Then he closed his things and put them away, and said seriously to Jiang Ling: "Miss Jiang, I personally suggest that if you encounter similar situations in the future, please inform the other party as soon as possible. Because in space battles, it is normal for a ship to die, and prisoners of war are Lucky special case. So once a prisoner of war, redemption is a general practice; it's just a matter of time, and it also depends on when the two sides cease fighting."

Jiang Ling was in a trance.

Yale smiled slightly: "Do you think this sounds very far away from you?"

--"you"? !Earthling? !
Jiang Ling was startled, and vaguely understood something: "I remember! Thank you for your advice."

*********
Lunch is light and intense.Emon and Aik were not paying attention to the meal at all, they kept testing Lu Lin; before that, they bought all the nine-bud twin lotus from Jiang Ling at a good price.

In this regard, as a big family, one of them needn't be stingy at all, and the two of them can't afford to lose that face.

Just imagine, when it comes to Ai Kun's family, everyone's first reaction is: Ai Kun's family?The family that pushed the price down to the bottom of the shoe, bullied a little girl with a first-level civilization, and got a few top-quality plants... What, you want to talk to them about business? !Oh, I hope I can see you at the next party...

——Aren’t they reduced to a laughing stock? !
Buy luxury goods, buy art, what are you buying?In addition to the fact that some of them have the function of preserving value, the more important aspect is that what you buy is face and status!Buying this kind of thing itself is a process of spending money to show the strength of the family, to expand the influence of the family, and to increase the hidden capital of the family!
So either you don’t sell it, and if you sell it, it must be a decent price—unless everyone has doubts about the value of this item, but you are the only one who knows it is a treasure.At this time, you might as well pick up a bargain, and you will be praised for your insight and gold afterwards.

But "Twelve Stars" is different from the best twin lotus in nine buds.As a priceless treasure, theoretically speaking, the "Twelve Consecutive Stars" cannot be measured by money!In fact, it can still be offered a price...

It's just that it's tiring to talk about the price - because this "Twelve Stars" now belongs to Lu Lin, not Jiang Ling!

Although Qi Ya and Rui Sen are both second-level civilizations, it is an idiot who compares the two and regards them as the same thing.And Lu Lin is a powerful commander, and this woman's wrists have always been tough... Oh, no!The situation is too pessimistic!

How wonderful it would be if the "Twelve Stars" still belonged to Jiang Ling!How natural it is to present to Risen Ambassador Aik for the purpose of "friendship lasts forever"!No matter for Jiang Ling or for the Earth Alliance!
