A butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil may cause a tornado in Texas a month later.

This is the famous "butterfly effect", which means that in a dynamic system, a small change in the initial conditions can drive a long-term huge chain reaction of the entire system.

If we take Qin Zhiyuan as an example, then the appearance of Qin Zhiyuan has changed the fate of many people, and the whole world has been moving in an unknown direction. Specifically, for example, Reid Auerbach, his fate was changed by Qin Zhiyuan.

The "miracle" Qin Zhiyuan showed in Kapi may not be a real miracle, but someone needs a miracle, so Qin Zhiyuan's deeds were reported as a "miracle".

As the regional bishop of Kapi, Reid Auerbach has become a cardinal because of the appearance of Qin Zhiyuan.

Cardinal, also known as "Cardinal". If the regional bishop is equivalent to the regional manager in the secular world, then the cardinal is almost equivalent to the regional manager.

When becoming a cardinal, the biggest difference from the outside is the clothing, a white robe embroidered with golden patterns, a red shawl, a huge cross, and a small red round hat on the head. Reid Auerbach was in high spirits and looked at least ten years younger.

"Qin, it's nice to meet you again." Reid and Qin Zhiyuan were not meeting for the first time, they had met several times.

The place where Reid and Qin Zhiyuan met was in the confessional of the church, which was almost a secret space. It was very quiet with the door closed, and it was very suitable for communicating some things that were not convenient to make public.

"Yes, Reid, you look good." Qin Zhiyuan complimented.

People are refreshed when they are happy, and Reid's complexion is indeed good. Who said that there is no hierarchy in the church? The situation of clear hierarchy is more serious than in the secular society.

"This is all thanks to you. You brought me good luck." Reid has a grateful heart.

"Then, I wonder if you will bring me any good news?" Qin Zhiyuan is looking forward to it.

When they met last time, Reid said that maybe the Pope would give Qin Zhiyuan a big medal. To be honest, Qin Zhiyuan has been waiting for it. Anyway, it's free, so why not?

"Of course, Qin, I'm in charge of church promotion in the Far East now. Do you have any good suggestions for me?" Reid has been so overwhelmed that he forgot the principle of "giving before taking".

"Congratulations, Reid. The Far East is a desert of faith. You have a lot of room to display your talents." Qin Zhiyuan said insincerely.

Just like the famous story, two shoe salesmen arrived at an island. After an investigation, one salesman concluded: "The people on this island don't need shoes. They don't have the habit of wearing shoes at all."

The other salesman also came to a conclusion after an investigation: "Great, the people on this island don't have shoes to wear at all. This is a great business opportunity."

This is a story of chicken soup for the soul. From this story, we can see that if we observe things from different angles, we will come to completely different conclusions.

This is a false proposition, and Qin Zhiyuan's congratulations are even more pale and powerless. When the Far East was still under the rule of the Ming Empire, church members went to the Far East to try to establish churches and promote Christianity. So far, hundreds of years have passed, and the status of the Christian Church in the Far East is not much different from hundreds of years ago. If you have to say that there is progress, then okay, the number of churches has increased a lot, but the people's faith is still the same. They go to worship when they need it, and no one can think of the church at ordinary times.

Reid also understood this fact, so for Qin Zhiyuan's congratulations, Reid just thanked him politely, without much joy.

"Reid, I think what you should do now is not to find me, but to find the Vatican to see what kind of support they can give you, so that you can make a practical plan." Qin Zhiyuan avoided the important point.

"No, no, no, our ideas are not quite unified. The Vatican can give me very little, and you can give me the greatest help." Reid has a clear understanding of the local snakes.

"Then I'll be frank. I can help, but what can I get?" The biggest difference between Qin Zhiyuan and the Eastern politicians is that Qin Zhiyuan will put interests at the edge. Only fools will do things without interests.

"What do you want to get?" Reid tried to take the initiative.

No matter what the content of the conversation involves, it is necessary to take the initiative in the conversation, so that you can lead the other party to follow your thoughts, which is a necessary factor for success.

"There are many things I want to get, such as respect, national status, and national interests, which are exactly what you can't give me." Qin Zhiyuan is not shy about it.

When the time entered the 20th century, the influence of the Holy See in the secular world had declined significantly, and the European countries even caused the Holy See's status to deteriorate because of their vigilance against the Holy See. The current Pope is like the Queen of England or the President of France, just a symbolic head of state, and basically has no power.

"If I explain my plan to you, I don't know if you are interested." Reid spoke cautiously, staring at Qin Zhiyuan's eyes, assessing Qin Zhiyuan's reliability.

"I am interested in all the plans, but there is a premise. I want to get the benefits I deserve, otherwise I will never participate in it." Qin Zhiyuan answered absent-mindedly, stroking Napoleon's head, letting it lean against his legs, and scratching Napoleon's chin.

The Foch family is doing mass, and Napoleon is not suitable to enter the church, so Qin Zhiyuan is allowed to take him.

"I want to establish a strong regional church in the Far East, restore the glory of the Lord, and spread the glory of the Lord. If you participate in it, you will be recognized by the Vatican, and your army will serve as the Vatican's religious protection force, traveling back and forth in the Far East without hindrance." Reid gave up observing Qin Zhiyuan.

Reid knew very well that the Vatican had no binding force on secular generals like Qin Zhiyuan who held military power. According to the information obtained by Reid, Qin Zhiyuan was not a Catholic, but a believer of "Taoism", a local sect in the East. In this case, when dealing with "pagans" like Qin Zhiyuan, you can't cheat under the guise of "God", but you have to show real benefits.

"This is a matter of the future, and we will talk about it in the future. The key issue now is not that." Qin Zhiyuan wanted more.

This is not a lion's mouth, but a sky-high price and a payback on the spot. As a descendant of the dragon who has inherited 5,000 years of culture, Qin Zhiyuan has enough bargaining experience. He has never eaten pork, but he has seen pigs run.

"Okay, you send troops now to protect my priests into the Far East, and the Vatican will provide you with some financial support." Reid added.

"How much can you give?" Qin Zhiyuan was very interested when it came to money.

"Depending on the strength of your support, I can promise that it will not be less than what the French give you." Reid really treated it as a business talk.

"One million US dollars, every month." Qin Zhiyuan offered a price.

This price is exactly the same as the price offered by Huang Bohan.
