Chapter 93 Negotiations
Chapter 93 Negotiation
When Rose and I arrived at the conference room, there were already people in it. It seemed that the negotiations were not very smooth, at least the expressions of both parties were not so happy. Seeing Rose and I appeared at the door, both parties immediately stopped. Hongyue quickly stood up. "Zi Ri, Rose, you are finally back." As she said that, she turned to the group of people sitting opposite her. "This is the president and chief financial officer of our guild."
"Hello." Several people stood up from the crowd sitting opposite him. They introduced them from the middle. "I am Al, the president of the Imperial Alliance. The one on my right is Eugen, the president of the Eugen Chamber of Commerce, and the one on my right is Silirisi, the president of the Business Alliance. The one on my left is Michelle, the president of the Gods Alliance, and the other one on my left is Bolantal, the president of the Crusader."
"Hello." I quickly pulled Rose to the conference table, and several guards immediately brought two chairs.
There are not many people participating in the negotiations. Although Al, the president of the Empire Alliance, only introduced the four people around him, there was actually a large group of people sitting behind him. After I sat down, Hongyue secretly told me that the people there were actually the presidents of the guild who participated in the gambling, but compared with these five major guilds, their capital input was much smaller. In fact, it was not just us who participated in the negotiations. In addition to me and Mei, Hongyue, Sumei, Xiaoyao, Feng Yinpiaomiao, and Ashufude were all here. There were more than a dozen sitting in the row behind us.
The think tank figures of our guild include the special forces assigned by General Wu. Both sides have more than 20 people to be dispatched. This is the first time we have encountered such a large-scale negotiation. Because the game map of "Zero" not only imitates the real world, but also has many special spaces, the actual map area is larger than the area of the earth. Because of this, the game is vast and sparsely populated, so the contact between guilds is not very frequent, and naturally they will not be able to make a full server know like other games.
After sitting down, Rose immediately turned around and asked Hongyue: "We were still fighting when we left. It was only one night, why did it suddenly become a final negotiation?"
Before Hongyue could explain, Al on the opposite side replied first: "Miss Rose, the reason why we stopped the war and changed to negotiations was actually driven by interests. You two may not know that last night, our people had suddenly divided their troops to surround the headquarters city of the Iron Crusade and the Aisinger of your guild. In addition, the two large ships in the mainland of your port are also under our control. So...!"
"Stop." I didn't let Al continue. "Since Mr. Al is here to negotiate, I think we should first put everyone in an equal and fair position. Since Mr. Al does not have the sincerity of negotiations, I don't think we need to continue."
"Ah?" Al was so blocked by my words that he didn't know what to say. Michelle, the president of the Tianshen Alliance next to him, said in a very evil voice: "What does President Zi Ri mean? So many of us presidents came to your territory for negotiations regardless of their own safety. Isn't this sincerity enough?"
"Miss Michelle is talking about fallacies. Negotiations are to negotiate with senior personnel. You presidents are supposed to talk about it, and this cannot be considered your sincerity. As for the negotiation location to be chosen in the territory of our guild, it is indeed dangerous. But in fact, this is also fallacies. You are the negotiating envoys, and even if we want to kill you, we cannot start at this time. Do you think we are barbarians who do not understand civilization? If you really think we are barbarians, it means that you have not planned to respect us from the beginning. Since you do not respect us, what else are you talking about? If you don't think we are barbarians who do not understand civilization, it means that you will not be like us even if you know that we will come here. Since you know that there will be something going on, you use this as a manifestation of sincerity. Don't you think you are a bit too much?"
Michelle was blocked by me for a moment and didn't know what to say. Al next to him was about to continue speaking, but I rushed in front of him and continued, "Talk to what Mr. Al just now. What do you mean by dividing troops and surrounding the city of Aisinger and the Iron Crusade headquarters? He also controlled our two super warships? If you really did it, then what else to talk about? Anyway, you have taken the strategic initiative and all came to our hometown, and you almost pinched us to death like ants. What else do you think about with such a big advantage? Don't tell me that it's for world peace.
What's the matter. In the real world, I may still believe it, but this is a game. Isn't it a bit ridiculous to use that kind of thing as an excuse? If you don't surround and control what you said just now, that means you are deceiving us. Since you are all liars, what else can I talk to you? Are you willing to negotiate with a group of liars? Let me tell you. Even if you really surround us, it will be in vain. Aisinger's space jumping ability has been shown many times, so there is no need to keep it secret here. Do you think your people can catch the space?
Is the jumping Aisinger? As for our Great White Shark battleship, you may be injured and sunk him, but it is a dream to capture or occupy it. To be honest, we can build one ship and build a second ship, which is nothing more than a matter of money. You can't threaten me. As for the Iron Crusader headquarters city, you just want to fight. I can't jump in space anyway. If I don't remember the cost, I will directly teleport to the UK or France. Which city of your city is equipped with a city-level weapon defense system? The headquarters city of the Beast Alliance
You should have seen the scene of the city being destroyed. I dare to ask, how many cities do you think Isinger can kill when you destroy the Iron Crusade headquarters city? Okay. I will say so much for the time being. Give you half an hour to discuss. If you understand the current situation, then wait here to continue negotiations with us. If you still feel that the situation is in your hands as you said, then leave before I come back." After that, I stood up and said to Hongyue and the others: "Let's go and leave here for them to think about it slowly."
I walked out of the room with the confused Hongyue and Ashufude, the presidents of the British and French Guilds opposite me in awe of surprise and doubt. It was not until the door was brought with me with a loud bang that they woke up. Before they could start discussing, the door suddenly opened again. I stretched out my head and added, "It's only half an hour." After that, I brought it to the door heavily again.
The room was bombarded and the leaders of the British and French guilds started to discuss together. The scene was much more lively than before. Michelle, who was so charming, complained: "It's a problem now. We were almost cheating them over with all the beatings and suppression. The president was in chaos as soon as he came back."
Al nodded and said, "This Zi Ri is indeed a character. It's not good to eat soft and hard! The deterrence does not work for such a person at all. I can tell from his eyes that he can really do it. He will fight us to the death."
There was a fierce discussion in the room, and there was no stopping outside. I pulled Feng Yinpiaomiao and Ashufude out, and it was being discussed in groups. Rose asked me in a low voice: "Why are you talking so terrible? What if they really have the backbone and we are hard-working?"
"I'm afraid they won't be too hard." I smiled and pulled Rose over and slapped her on the forehead. "You are so talented that you are not as good as mine!"
"Tsk, don't say it."
"Hehe, of course I have to say it. If I don't say it, wasn't it being looked down upon by my beautiful wife? Actually, I'm considering the overall situation. It's not impossible to negotiate with these people. The key is to have the best interests. If we continue to negotiate like now, the interests are scraped by them, and we are still making a mess? So, instead of doing this, it's better to be tough on them. If they don't have backbone, then our guild will get rich and can get a lot of benefits. But if they have backbone, then we really fight. What do you think their guild city will do after it is destroyed?"
"Of course it was spent on repairs. Oh... I understand!" Rose's little head was still very smart, and it was understandable at a glance. "I understand. These guilds will go back to repair cities. Destroy some of our forces and escalate the war. It costs money to repair cities and start wars. The money to make land in the game is definitely not enough. The only way is to exchange it from outside the game and then purchase strategic supplies from players and system stores. The system store is equivalent to a store opened by Longyuan. Although some of the resources in the player's hands fell on the ground when fighting monsters, most of them were dug out by them. These mines were just brushed by the system, and actually did not consume Longyuan's funds, but players would dig out the ground because of the excavation of the land.
Make profits and like this game more. Thus, these players also consume money when mining. These are the money that Longyuan can actually make, as well as the taxes generated by trading in the game, and the further consumption promoted by these people after they have money. The money flows through different channels and finally comes to Longyuan's pocket. So, if those British and French guilds really go on, the money goes into the pocket of Longyuan. If they don't make money, the money goes into the pocket of our Frost Rose League, and basically the same result. The pocket of the Frost Rose League and the Longyuan pocket are both in your pocket. The difference is just one goes into the left pocket and the other goes into the right pocket. Poison, it's really poisonous!"
"What are you couple talking about?" Ashufude ran over and asked anxiously: "Zi Ri, why are you so tough just now? You really forced them to be too anxious. Your Aisinger can run away, but my city won't move!"
"Don't worry! They won't fight."
"Why are you so sure?" Asu Fude asked worriedly.
"Don't you understand this?" I pointed to the lounge next to me, signaling everyone to go in and wait for those people to discuss slowly, and explained: "Think about it yourself. The battle has been fought so far. The situation is very clear. Since the British and French Guilds are here to negotiate, it means that they have reached the end of their lives. This battle has nothing to do with them, and they started gambling by themselves. If they can't win the gambling, they are also doing it. Now they find that they can't win and negotiate again, which is equivalent to touching their own face. If the British and French Guilds have backbone, they shouldn't have been disturbed from the beginning. The gambling market is for the purpose of opening a bet.
It is understandable to make money, but if you lose the bet, you will join the battle yourself. This is a sign of no backbone. The dealer himself will lose their face and reputation after the game. If this can be considered a temporary struggle, then this time they come to us to negotiate, they will definitely regard self-esteem as a bullshit. They have already broken up, and they are still embarrassed to climb over to negotiate. Such behavior can only be done by a group with no backbone. So, it is certain that they have no backbone. No matter how tough I am this time, they will not stand up and start a war with us."
"But you shouldn't take the risk! What if they...!"
"First, there is no case. My expected plan is 100%, and there will be no case. Second, Rose and I have just been online, and we don't know anything about the specific situation, so we need to communicate with you first. Say it is for them to consider for half an hour, but I actually need time to understand the situation. Third, since their behavior is actually begging with their tails, there is no need to leave their names. The beggar should look like a beggar, and they should beg sincerely. As for whether they are willing to give alms, that is our business. You have performed too poorly. If I don't show up in time, it seems that you are all planning to finalize the result with them. The entire negotiation was completely guided by the other party, and you are actually discussing business with them. The advantage of this kind of thing is in our hands. What should we discuss with him? If you set up the conditions, agree, and if we don't agree, we leave the negotiating table and continue on the battlefield."
Rose also helped me and said: "The focus of the negotiation is to highlight your own advantages and find out the other party's disadvantages, always suppress the other party's discussion, and control all the topics in your own hands. Now these British and French guilds have no advantages at all, so you don't have to be polite to them at all."
