Chapter 610 Chapter 610
Faced with the great elder's dissatisfaction, Zhang Jialin simply explained: "Mr. Zhang has something to do today. I will report the results of the negotiation to Mr. Zhang.
I can decide on general matters on the spot. As long as it is signed, even if we suffer a loss, we will implement it according to the agreement. Please rest assured.
If there is something important, I will ask Mr. Zhang for instructions.
So, here we go.
Let me introduce first, this is Daoist Guanyun of the Happy Sect. The battleship you took away and the remaining 1,500 captives are all members of the Happy Sect. Therefore, on the issue of trading captives, you must first negotiate with the Happy Faction.
As for the situation of the captives on our side, we will negotiate with the Xiaoyao faction internally. "
The Great Elder of Zhenwu Sect turned his eyes to Daoist Guanyun. Taoist Guanyun's face was calm, but there seemed to be a sharp light flashing in his eyes.
This time, on the issue of captives, Dayang Group's handling made the Xiaoyao faction grateful and troublesome.
I am grateful because the Dayang Group did not make their own decisions, but completely handed over the matter of the captives to the Xiaoyao faction. You can talk about what the Xiaoyao faction wants, and you don't have to take us too seriously.
But the tricky part is that these captives of Zhulong Island are the "wealth" shared by everyone, and they are the joint efforts of thousands of gods. It is no problem for the Xiaoyao faction to redeem themselves. Opinions; but you have to take care of everyone's interests!
In fact, through Zhang Hao's previous negotiations, everyone understood in their hearts: the remaining 3,500 captives of Zhulongzhizhou are a very good bargaining chip!
According to the interrogation, these more than 3,500 Zhulongzhizhou and Nascent Soul-level masters are all real elites and seeds, and they will go to Xianshan for 'baptism' after going through layers of assessment and selection! It can be said that these people are the future of the entire Candle Dragon Continent.
In contrast, among the more than 1,800 people captured by the Xiaoyao faction (there are still more than 1,500 left), there are not many elites, and most of them are ordinary crew members.
The two sides are completely unequal.
But things are by no means that simple. If it's easy, why doesn't Zhang Hao negotiate by himself!
There are too many factors involved in this negotiation.
These captives of Candle Dragon Continent are all elites, and after returning to Candle Dragon Continent, a large number of them will inevitably grow up. If Daoist Guanyun asks for a higher price now, the future must be very exciting! But if the asking price is insufficient, there will be dissatisfaction with the peripatetics within the Atlantic Group.
And there is no balance that can be grasped at all!
The interest demands of the Atlantic Group must far exceed the expectations of the Torch Dragon Continent!
Unknowingly, the Xiaoyao faction became a rafter in the early days; but there is no way, who let their battleship be taken away, who let their people be taken away! If you didn't work hard then, regret it now.
Daoist Guanyun sat opposite the Great Elder. In today's first negotiation, Daoist Guanyun was the protagonist.
The Great Elder of the True Martial Sect looked at each other with a smile. After several days of observation, the Great Elder basically understood the general situation of this 'Atlantic Group'.
The composition of the Atlantic Group is very complicated, and this time the prisoner belongs to the "Xianshan Exploration Group" - but the shareholders of the Xianshan Exploration Group and the Atlantic Group are many duplicates, but the shares are different.
For example, Dayang Group holds 30% of the shares in Xianshan Exploration Group, but Dayang Group's shares in Atlantic Group are only 11%!
The first half of the previous "Xuanwu Mountain Treaty" was relatively simple, because it was just a few clauses - there was no direct interest, and everyone was equally applicable. However, the transaction of the captives involves direct interests, so it is not easy to do so.
Zhang Jialin, the representative of the Dayang Group, moved his seat and gave the main seat to Daoist Guanyun, and sat beside him to watch the play.
Mr. Zhang told himself this morning, so Zhang Jialin quietly waited for the on-site negotiation with an attitude of studying and watching a show.
Wu Zhiwu, the Grand Elder of the Zhenwu Sect, and Qi Yunfeng, the headmaster of the Xiaoyao Sect, looked at each other silently, and neither of them spoke first.
This unique negotiation lasted until noon, that is, after more than two hours of confrontation, Taoist Guanyun took the initiative to break this weird negotiation: "Elder Wu Zhiwu, my Xiaoyao faction is going to take out 280 people. Captives, trade all the captives on your side."
The Great Elder laughed as soon as he heard it: "I'm going to use all the captives, plus that steel battleship, to exchange all our captured personnel."
Taoist Guanyun said slowly: "During the battle, the Xiaoyao faction only held 8% of the shares of Xianshan Exploration Group, so we only got 284 prisoners.
We can't take out any more prisoners. Therefore, we only want to redeem our personnel, and as for the steel battleship, we don't want it.
If you agree to this transaction condition, I will help the next captives; I dare not say too many promises, but at least it will make you a lot easier. "
The Great Elder frowned suddenly, the complexity of the matter was beyond imagination.
And the representatives of the various shareholders of the Atlantic Group also frowned at this time: This free and unfettered real chicken thief picked himself out alone. But we are not very satisfied with you doing this, it is not authentic.
Look at the Dayang Group. Although they are also negotiating for themselves, they have at least set an example for those who come after them and set a 'standard' for negotiation. You Xiaoyao faction are a bit selfish.
Next to it, Hong Yunzi, the representative of Xuanzhen Sect, snorted softly - anyway, the two families have already torn their skins, and they don't care about this anymore.
Then, Yu Jizi, the representative of Xianyin Sect and the master of law enforcement, also snorted softly.
After that, Dong Guo Mingyun from West Kunlun, Zhai Feihong from the Red Lotus Sect, Feng Yunlong from the Ming Sect, etc., all expressed their dissatisfaction in various ways. Or hum, or cough, or move the chair, make some noise.
Ahead, Daoist Guan Yun, who was negotiating, suddenly turned dark - I was negotiating, and I was stabbed in the back.
Seeing this, Wu Zhiwu, the Great Elder of the True Martial Sect, looked at Daoist Guanyun with a half-smile, "Fellow Daoist, it seems that you all disagree with your suggestion!"
Daoist Guanyun's face turned black, he took a deep breath and stood up, "Let's stop here today, and we'll continue tomorrow. Fellow Daoists, let's visit the prosperity of Fertility Island first."
Wu Zhiwu smiled lightly, got up slowly, and left with his people. Before going out, he turned his head and glanced behind him again, his eyes were full of the expression of watching a play.
But Daoist Guanyun blocked the door, looked at all the 'comrades in arms', and said with an ugly expression: "Dear fellows, you are all on your own now, so you can open up if you have anything to say."
Hong Yunzi from Xuanzhen Sect smiled, "I don't have any complaints, but I just want to remind you that you are a senior in the transformation stage, and your negotiation skills and so on are far behind Zhang Hao.
I'm telling you to be careful, the great situation that Zhang Hao has finally established cannot be destroyed by some incompetent people. "
Hong Yunzi said that you are impolite, and you are short of saying by name that you, Taoist Guanyun, are a wimp.
However, without waiting for Taoist Guanyun to get angry, Yu Jizi from the Xianyin Sect next to him also said coldly: "Fellow Guanyunzi, you are in a hurry to redeem your own people. We have no objection, and are even happy to see it succeed. Therefore , Today's first negotiation will be handed over to you Happy Faction.
However, fellow daoists, please keep in mind that the reason why you can sit here and negotiate is not because of how powerful you are, but the opportunity we all won together! We paid the price of hundreds of Huashen stage, thousands of Nascent Soul stage, and no less than 300 million high-grade spirit stones!
Please don't be so selfish when negotiating, and think more about everyone. "
Dong Guo Mingyun from West Kunlun was even more rude: "It's disappointing!"
Afterwards, the representatives of the Holy Land of Taotu Continent expressed their disdain one after another. The representatives of other countries and casual cultivators, although they did not speak, they also sent meaningful glances.
Even Bai Feiying, the representative of Xuanming Sect, said flatly: "I think it is a wrong decision to let the Xiaoyao faction come first in this negotiation!"
Among the many holy places, Xuanming Sect has the least status. After all, it is a holy place that has signed an unequal treaty. The unequal treaty is valid for fifty years.
Now even the members of the Xuanming Sect were mocking, which immediately made Taoist Guanyun unbearable. He couldn't bear it anymore, and said angrily, "That's good, how about letting your Xuanming teacher come forward for tomorrow's negotiation?"
"We're fine!" Bai Feiying agreed, "I just don't know what everyone thinks?"
"I agree on behalf of Xuanzhen Sect."
"I agree on behalf of West Kunlun."
"I…"
Everyone agreed, and the Xiaoyao faction was isolated after a while. Only Daoist Guanyun was left standing there stupidly.
In the end, it was Zhang Guilin from the Dayang Group who had a wink. He came to Daoist Guanyun and gave him an apologetic smile: "Senior, I'm really sorry, I didn't expect this to happen. Pai apologizes."
After all, Daoist Guanyun is not a complete rogue. Seeing a young boy behave like this, he felt embarrassed, "I don't blame the Dayang Group for this matter. The Dayang Group is also kind. It is true that my preparations are not enough."
Daoist Guanyun was full of anger, but the only thing he couldn't do was to get angry at the Dayang Group - he really had good intentions, and now this little boy apologized to himself. I can't even explain it.
Taoist Guanyun left in a huff. After returning to the embassy (should be called the representative office), he immediately sent a telegram to the headquarters of the Xiaoyao faction, giving a brief explanation of the situation here.
About an hour later, the telegram from the head teacher of the Xiaoyao Sect was sent back, and the telegram clearly requested that Taoist Guanyun need to 'apology'. In this matter, the Xiaoyao faction is indeed at a loss. And now the Xiaoyao faction is no longer the only one, and all the holy places are involved, so an apology must be made.
Taoist Guanyun trembled for a long time looking at the telegram, but seeing the sincere words, Taoist Guanyun hesitated for a long time, finally gritted his teeth, turned around and left, and went to various holy places to apologize door to door, including Dayang Group.
Not just an apology, but also an expression of our willingness to negotiate in the end.
The Xiaoyao faction is so 'sincere', everyone said: Oh, there is no need for this; but since you are so sincerely apologetic, let's finally negotiate.
But after Zhang Hao sent off Daoist Guanyun himself, his eyes narrowed: The head teacher of the Xiaoyao Sect is not a simple person either!
But that's true, ordinary people can't sit in the position of headmaster of the Holy Land, and even if an ordinary person really sits in this position, he will become an old fox after a few years of sitting.
Obviously, Guan Lanzi, the head teacher of the Xiaoyao European School, noticed something.
Actually speaking, this time let the Xiaoyao faction take the lead, Zhang Hao really... has no good intentions!
In political struggles, there are often warnings like this: Do more and make more mistakes, do less and make fewer mistakes, and it is good not to do it; rushing to do it is death!
If you want to cheat someone, the best way is to "find a task that is obviously impossible to complete and recommend it to him, and draw a big golden pie". If it works, it’s my credit; if it doesn’t work...it’s because you don’t have the ability!
But this time, Zhang Hao used this method on the Xiaoyao faction.
Because the Xiaoyao faction has prisoners in the hands of the enemy, even if they know it is a pit, they can only jump into it; let alone, the Xiaoyao faction doesn't know it at all. It wasn't until this time that they stumbled that the Xiaoyao faction had doubts; but they had to thank Dayang Group for giving them the opportunity:
Look, the opportunity is given to you, but you are incompetent!
To be honest, this kind of negotiation with captives is the most difficult to handle. It would be fine if they were ordinary captives, the main ones were the captives of Torch Dragon Continent this time, and all of them were elites.
It is conceivable that these people will be the future of Zhulongzhizhou; maybe there will be some uprisings and social changes in Zhulongzhizhou in the future, and there will be shadows of these people; or the main core of Zhenwu Sect in the future will also be these people.
If these people are offended now, it will not be conducive to the future development and long-term interests of Dayang Group. Therefore, we can only let others charge.
As for killing them all... Obviously that won't work either, we still have to trade with the Torch Dragon Continent.
But now the Xiaoyao Sect seems to have awakened, but it doesn't matter, and now it is taken over by the Xuanming Sect. As long as Dayang Group doesn't take over, it's fine. If Dayang Group really wants to take over in the end, Zhang Hao has a way to deal with it. Mr. Zhang has a brilliant idea!
The next day the negotiation continued, this time Bai Feiying negotiated with Wu Zhiwu, the great elder of Zhenwu Sect, on behalf of Xuanming Sect.
But this time, Wu Zhiwu took the initiative to speak without waiting for the tea, "Bai Feiying, right? I heard about the Xuanming Sect. I was very angry when I negotiated with Zhang Hao a few days ago. I always feel that Zhang Hao is going too far." .But after hearing about the Xuanming Sect, I realized that Zhang Hao has shown mercy."
Bai Feiying's face was livid. Madan, they say that you don't expose your faults when you swear, and you don't slap people in the face when you hit someone. Wu Zhiwu, you are so embarrassing!
His complexion changed, and Bai Feiying snorted coldly, "Fellow Daoist, we are here to negotiate today, not reminiscing about the old days. If Fellow Daoist wants to reminisce about the old days, sometime Bai will come to visit in person someday."
After a short pause, without giving the other party a chance to speak, Bai Feiying directly made a condition: "The matter of the captives will be postponed for now. Now I will negotiate with you on behalf of Xuan Mingjiao. The terms of the negotiation are the same as those of the Dayang Group."
Wu Zhiwu said leisurely: "Then let me borrow Zhang Hao's words to ask you, why do you say that! Does your Xuanming Sect have the ability of the Dayang Group?
You don't have enough warships, and you don't have enough masters. Even your industrial base is weak and your commodities are scarce. I don't think there's any need for an agreement between us! "
Bai Feiying is also a veteran negotiator now. He was overwhelmed by Zhang Hao and others before, but now he is very sharp. "If fellow daoists don't think it's necessary, then we don't mind cooperating with the Canglong Cult.
Maybe fellow daoists didn't understand that the agreement we signed was not unilateral. If you give favorable conditions, we will naturally trade with you.
What we are pursuing now is industry and commerce, and everything is profit-seeking. We don't care if we make a deal with the devil as long as it's profitable!
Before industry, commerce, and capitalism, the right way and the evil way here almost had no contact with each other. But now, look, we are sitting together and negotiating with Torch Dragon Continent.
In fact, all righteous ways and evil ways are imaginary, and only benefits are the most real. At least, between us. "
Wu Zhiwu was stunned for a while, and finally had to give in. On the "Xuanwu Mountain Treaty", there were more signatures again. Since then, the conditions for trade and commerce have been completely in accordance with the foundation left by Zhang Hao, and everyone has signed on it.
Things finally came full circle and returned to the question of the captives. And this time, the Xiaoyao faction was pushed out again. There is no way, as long as you have prisoners in the Happy Sect, we will give you the opportunity again. Learn to be grateful.
