Chapter 576 You only Have the Right to Sign

In the meeting room, there was a moment of silence.

After a long time, Daoist Guanyun, the representative of the Free and Unfettered Sect, snorted coldly, "I remember the agreement signed between the Kingdom of Qixia and the Kingdom of Jinyang, which is very similar to this one. Mr. Zhang is really familiar with the road!"

Zhang Hao said with a faint smile: "However, compared to the direct collapse, this at least preserves the foundation of Xuanming Sect. Xuanming Sect has a history of 60,000 years, and it is only 50 years of hard work. Fifty years Is it a long time?"

"Fifty years is not long!" Representatives from the Mingjiao and the holy lands in Taotu Continent spoke in support of Zhang Hao.

Even Feng Yunlong, Qinglong Dharma King of the Ming Cult, retorted: "Daoist Guanyun, right? You Xiaoyao faction should be lucky. Although you were defeated in the previous battle, you retreated completely.

Besides, this is a matter between us, Tao Earth Continent and Dayang Group, why do you, the Happy Clan, intervene? What right do you have to interrupt? "

"You..." Daoist Guanyun was furious, but he opened his mouth but couldn't say anything. Because at this time, the representatives of the other holy lands in Taotu Continent all glared at Taoist Guanyun!

As Zhang Hao proposed a specific "negotiation direction", everyone was united in an instant. Benefits are eternal; it is absolutely intolerable for Daoist Guan Yun to destroy everyone's interests.

Next to it, Hong Xiazi, the representative of Xuanzhen Sect, watched coldly—there is now a 'passionate' between Xuanzhen Sect and Xiaoyao Sect. Even Hong Xiazi was thinking in his heart: Can the Xiaoyao faction be forced to sign such an agreement?

Hong Xiazi knew very well in his heart: With the emergence of Dayang Group, the explosion of industry and commerce, and the publication of "Das Kapital", the entire known world is undergoing drastic changes, or it is more appropriate to say that it is developing.

Nowadays, this kind of development speed is getting faster and faster; now, Dayang Group has some technology of transforming spirits.

Under such circumstances, the delay of fifty years--the Xuanming Sect is probably about to fall completely. Fifty years later, the Xuanming Sect is likely to be completely divided up!

But Hong Xiazi would not say anything. On the one hand, the Xuanzhen Sect has no ability to turn against the other holy lands in the Taotu Continent. On the other hand, Hong Xiazi is also thinking, can the Xuanzhen Sect get involved? Relying on the relationship of Dayang Group, Xuanzhen Sect is still very promising!

While Daoist Guanyun was embarrassed and Hong Xiazi was thinking, the negotiations had officially begun.

No, this cannot be called a negotiation at all, but the Dayang Group and the other holy places are discussing how to get rid of the bones. Bai Feiying's speech is so weak.

However, Bai Feiying is not soft-boned, and he also understands what the current negotiations mean, so he strives for many conditions. However, the Xuanming Sect itself is at a disadvantage, and there is only Bai Feiying in charge, and the effects of the dozen or so around it are limited.

Bai Feiying was forced to fly into a rage again and again by the representatives of several holy places. Several times, it was Zhang Hao who took the shot and blocked the unrestricted greed of the major holy places.

Speaking of which, at the beginning, the major holy lands didn't know how to negotiate—or exploit; however, after only ten minutes, everyone became proficient.

Greed is the driving force behind progress!

This negotiation lasted for more than ten days; on the fifth day, Xuanming Sect finally sent a new representative, and finally barely blocked the greed of the other holy places. However, Bai Feiying is still the representative - there are many people from Xuanming Sect, but no one dares to be the representative.

Witnessing such a greedy negotiation with their own eyes, the audience from all sides broke out in a cold sweat. Looking at the conditions one by one, every condition can drive Xuan Mingjiao into the abyss. With so many conditions superimposed, Xuan Ming could hardly see hope!

Finally, after half a month of negotiations, a complete agreement appeared.

The service personnel of the Dayang Group put this document, which was more than 30 pages thick and 40,000 words long, in front of Bai Feiying.

Hundreds of pairs of eyes stared at Bai Feiying, waiting for Bai Feiying to sign.

Bai Feiying sat beside the table, looking at the document, trembling all over.

In the entire meeting room, a needle could be heard at this moment.

"I refuse!" Bai Feiying roared and roared.

Feng Yunlong, Qinglong Dharma King of the Ming Cult, snorted coldly, "Either sign! Or go to war!

If you sign, you still have a chance to make a comeback. If you refuse...the Xuan Ming Sect has millions of people, how many of them can survive the flames of war? "

Bai Feiying's face was ashen, and he still refused to sign. But the person next to him, that is, the newly dispatched personnel of Xuanming Sect, sent voice transmission and urged to sign.

As Feng Yunlong said, if a war really broke out, how many people in the Xuanming Sect would survive? The continent of the earth is a world of magic, and cutting grass and roots is the common method used by everyone.

Moreover, the current Xuanming Sect has been terrified, and its morale is completely exhausted. It was once thought to be the secret weapon of the stage of transformation, and 132 people were killed in one meeting. If he wanted to continue fighting, he would not only have to face the Dayang Group's stage of becoming a god, but also face attacks from other holy places. There is no hope of victory at all!

Bai Feiying trembled, raised his wrist, his fingers trembled like twigs in the wind, and slowly picked up the 'fu pen' next to the document - the pen, once the characters were written, they could not be changed.

But no matter what, Bai Feiying finally trembled and signed his name on the agreement.

He, has no choice!

Looking at Bai Feiying's expression, Zhang Hao felt a little emotional in his heart; just like the movie The Matrix said, the so-called choice is just a game for the strong to give to the weak, and you will eventually find that it is just an illusion.

On the surface, it is said to give Xuanmingjiao a chance, but this is just a different way to eliminate Xuanmingjiao, a relatively gentle way that does not see blood; however, this method is also more cruel. This is real bone-chilling.

It's just that if Dayang Group wants to develop and rise, it needs a ladder. This ladder is often composed of the corpses of enemies and losers.

Following the "Huaishanguan Treaty" of the Kingdom of Jinyang, the second unequal treaty was freshly released - the "Beihai Treaty".

The reason why it is called the 'Beihai' Treaty is because the Dayang Group landed in the 'Beihai City', and the Dayang Group is also in the north compared to the Taotu Continent, and there is an Emerald Sea in between.

In fact, the name is not important, the content is the most important.

After the content of the "North Sea Treaty" was published in the newspaper the next day, there was an uproar.

The treaty has a total of 16 clauses with hundreds of details. The main terms are basically what Zhang Hao pointed out before. In the end, everyone only added one clause: within three years, Xuanmingjiao is prohibited from participating in the research of the technology of transforming gods, and the performance will be seen after three years.

However, the first article of the treaty has won everyone's favor: Xuanmingjiao will disclose all materials except its own core exercises, and everyone can go to copy and rubbing.

Under the request of Dayang Group and under the threat of other holy places, Xuanming Sect has no right to say no. Finally, everyone reserved the last dignity for Xuanmingjiao:

One's own core exercises, alchemy tools, etc. do not need to be disclosed; and those who go to copy, rubbing, and observe materials must pay a certain fee, which is regarded as the income of Xuanmingjiao.

This first one immediately won countless favors; but this favor was harvested by Dayang Group—it was Zhang Hao who made this proposal! This is true generosity.

In addition, Xuanmingjiao officially apologized and published an apology statement in the newspaper, especially to Zhang Hao and Zhou Xueyao. The medicine was used as an apology, and these elixirs were worth more than 100,000 high-grade spirit stones.

For the rest, Xuanmingjiao will open a treaty port at the border of each holy land, and allow the remaining holy places to build railways on the land of Xuanmingjiao. The Xuanming Sect only collects 3% of the total value of the tax on the transactions of the holy places-whether it can be collected is still unknown.

Beihai City will become the world's first fully open seaport city without any taxation.

Xuanmingjiao paid 8 million to 12 million high-grade spirit stones to the major holy places for military expenses and so on-the war did not completely break out, and it was already a lot to reach these.

However, the Xuanmingjiao paid for Dayang Group's military expenses, etc., as high as 30 million high-grade spirit stones!

In addition, Dayang Group leased the 'Beihai Port'——Beihai City is open, but the most important part of Beihai City, Beihai Port, has been embraced by Dayang Group!

Dayang Group leased it for 100 years and paid 1 million high-grade spirit stones to Xuanmingjiao every year. The Beihai Port plus the surrounding land has a radius of about 10 kilometers, which means a total area of ​​about 100 square kilometers. In fact, because of the irregular boundary division and the coastline, the actual area is about 80 square kilometers.

In addition, Xuanmingjiao has also signed many unequal treaties; finally, in the next fifty years, Xuanmingjiao needs to pay 8.6 million high-grade spirit stones to every holy place and Dayang Group every year.

Originally, Zhang Hao’s proposal seemed to be tens of millions, but after negotiations, it was finally reduced to 8.6 million—mainly if it was 10 million, Xuan Mingjiao really couldn’t afford it. Every year, each family pays 8.6 million yuan, and 68.8 million top-grade spirit stones are paid for war reparations alone!

This price is equivalent to a high-end, Iron Duke-class battleship. But unlike battleships, the indemnity will be gone when you take it out, unlike battleships that can continue to make profits.

The entire "Beihai Treaty" reveals the bloody nature of capital, which can be called the best commentary on "Das Kapital" published by Zhang Hao.

The only exception is probably Dayang Group, which offered a price of 1 million high-grade spirit stones per year; and Xuanmingjiao was relatively straightforward in leasing the North Sea Port-the price of Dayang Group is indeed very sincere.

In fact, in the past, the direct 'net' income of Xuanming Sect in Beihai Port was less than one million high-grade spirit stones.

Many people have speculated, why did Dayang Group pay such a huge price? 1 million per year, 100 years is a full 100 million high-grade spirit stones, which is equivalent to a wealth of one trillion low-grade spirit stones. This is an unimaginable astronomical figure.

Could it be that the Dayang Group is subdued in disguise? To send warmth?

Everyone is speculating about Dayang Group's actions. Including Bai Feiying.

But saying that he had lost so much, Bai Feiying had an idea and thought of the 'war loan'. Because Nangong Zhi and Xuan Mingjiao had a good communication before, Nangong Zhi told Xuan Mingjiao that Dayang Group has a loan business, and Lvzhou Bank is responsible for lending.

Even, the money for the purchase of warships by the Qixia Kingdom and the Canglan Kingdom was all lent by the Lvzhou Bank.

At present, the annual interest rate of commercial loans and other low-risk loans of Green Boat Bank fluctuates around 5%; while war loans are calculated according to the daily interest rate, which is 5/10,000 and rolling interest.

Bai Feiying has found Zhang Hao now, and wants to apply for a loan, preferably a commercial loan.

After this war, coupled with the contact with Nangong Zhi, Bai Feiying suddenly became smart this time, he wanted to come to Dayang Group for a loan, and then buy technology from Dayang Group.

The only way out for Xuan Mingjiao is to imitate Nangong Zhi who had not yet unified the country of Shaoze, and use loans and the technology of Dayang Group to seek the future. This way, it works! There is at least one Nangong Zhi as an example!

At that time, the country of Nangong Zhi and Shaoze was also full of difficulties.

Zhang Hao agreed to Bai Feiying's loan application. However, on the way to Lvzhou Bank, Bai Feiying also asked Zhang Hao about Beihai Port.

Zhang Hao smiled lightly, "Of course we have thought about it. We will not tell you about various reasons."

Bai Feiying was not reconciled, and was a little provocative: "Many people say that this is Dayang Group's disguised favor."

Zhang Hao stopped for a while, looked at Bai Feiying, and smiled softly: "No matter what Dayang Group does, at least we can execute according to our plan. And you... only have the right to sign!"

"You...you..." Bai Feiying spit out a mouthful of blood in anger. The anger, humiliation, and helplessness of the past few days were detonated by Zhang Hao's words.
