Chapter 654 The Negotiation Is Successful, the Country Is Gone
Huang Jiye straightened his clothes in front of the bright glass mirror in the hotel, thinking about the message from last night, then turned his head to look at the bright morning sun outside the window, and took a deep breath.
Only when I came to Dayang Group did I know what prosperity is.
Although the imperial capital of Canglan Kingdom has developed well in recent years, it is not as good as Ninghe City after all.
Cities such as Ninghe City, Anqing City, the imperial capital of the Qixia Kingdom, and Guangling City, the companion capital of the Qixia Kingdom, were almost completely bulldozed and rebuilt according to brand new standards.
But the imperial capital of the Land of Canglan is not; it is just barely upgraded and transformed on the basis of the past. This kind of upgrading and transformation seems to barely feel the progress and changes, but it is more... awkward! There is a feeling of being crowned with a monkey!
On the contrary, here in Dayang Group, you can experience a completely new city and environment, and you can feel the power of industry and capital.
Huang Jiye, as the son of left minister Huang Shaoxian, is also the negotiator of the neutrality agreement of the Canglan Kingdom. At this time, he sincerely hopes that Dayang Group and Qixia Kingdom can be neutral.
In the past few days, he personally visited Dayang Group, important cities, transportation hubs, trading markets, and especially the stock trading halls of the Qixia Country. Here, is a world far beyond imagination.
Here, tens of millions of top-grade spirit stones are traded every moment, and businessmen and masters from all over the world gather here.
In this world of practice, there are too many masters of casual cultivation who don't care too much about the situation of the country. As long as they have cultivation bases, even if the country changes, their status and interests will not be too big. volatility; on the contrary, if involved in resisting invasion, the result may be very miserable.
Under such a social environment, many casual cultivators are unwilling to participate in national wars, and they will feel at ease about their own affairs. For example, the so-called economy, industry and commerce are gathered here in Dayang Group, which has nothing to do with war.
As long as the war doesn't mess with me, we can develop with peace of mind, and everyone will not interfere with the river; but if it disturbs our interests, then I'm sorry.
It is also under this unspoken rule that almost all holy places and countries hope that Dayang Group and Qixia Kingdom will remain neutral, and by the way, attract domestic restlessness to this side.
Huang Jiye walked out while thinking about these things. Today is not a formal negotiation. It can only be said to be a meeting before the formal negotiation. Everyone conducts preliminary testing, testing the bottom line of the Dayang Group, the bottom line of the Qixia Kingdom, and the bottom line of the enemy, so as to facilitate the negotiation on the next day. Confrontation.
The gathering today is in the banquet hall of the Blue Ocean Hotel, not the negotiation hall.
The color of the banquet hall is mild, and there is even a dedicated quyi stage next to it. A newly rising female band is playing on it. The elegant sound of the piano and the distant sound of the flute make the banquet hall even more warm.
Huang Jiye looked at the woman playing the piano, his eyes flashed with amazement. But he quickly hid the greed in his heart. The members of this band are not simple, they are supported by the Dayang Group, and behind the few girls are the real support of their parents or grandparents.
It's not that no one has had a crooked mind before, but they are still detained in the prison of Dayang Group; to be precise, it is the prison in Ninghe County-from a political point of view, the responsibility of the prison, that is, the judicial responsibility, does not belong to Dayang Group. Group, but belongs to Zhang Hao's fief, Ninghe County.
But now to the outside world, everyone basically ignores the attributes of the fiefdom, and regards Dayang Group as the only one.
Because it was not a formal negotiation today, Huang Jiye found an empty seat, and sat down with a few people on his side. Next to him was a representative of the Happy Sect. They nodded to each other with a friendly attitude.
On the opposite side, sat the representatives of Xuanzhen Sect, Xianyin Sect, Mingjiao, Tiandu Sect, Xuanming Sect and other holy places and related countries.
Under normal circumstances, more than 3,000 people were forced into the banquet hall that could accommodate 2,000 people.
Everyone chatted with each other, Zhang Hao sat on the northern main seat, watching everyone quietly.
After everyone discussed for a while, Huang Jiye suddenly turned his head to look at Zhang Hao, "Mr. Zhang, even if we are outsiders, we are extremely angry about the robbery of Xuanzhen Sect. We also admire the tolerance of Dayang Group."
Zhang Hao nodded faintly: "Thank you."
"Mr. Zhang, I wonder if it would be convenient for you to reveal what items the Xuanzhen Sect robbed this time?"
Zhang Hao turned his head slightly and looked at the representative of Xuanzhen Sect, who turned out to be his cheap senior brother Zheng Yuanzi. But at this time, Zheng Yuanzi saw Zhang Hao's eyes, and he quickly turned his eyes away, his eyes were full of complex lights.
Only then did Zhang Hao look at Huang Jiye, and said softly: "There is no need to mention the past. This time it is Xuanzhen Sect, so we will not pursue it. If there is another time, no matter who it is, Dayang Group will definitely catch up End of the world, endless death!"
Zhang Hao's words were very light, but a kind of domineering and indescribable coldness echoed in the hall.
Feeling Zhang Hao's attitude, Huang Jiye wanted to continue asking Dayang Group about the bottom line of the neutrality clause, but he couldn't say it.
But it doesn't matter, the representative of the Xiaoyao faction next to him asked. "Mr. Zhang, the neutral clause you proposed, I have been thinking about it for a long time these days, it is indeed a brilliant idea.
I have a few immature ideas that I would like to share with Mr. Zhang. "
Zhang Hao nodded: "Please tell me."
"In my opinion, the first is commercial transportation. Since it is neutral, can Dayang Group's commodity transportation only be transported in non-combat areas?
For example, if Dayang Group sells items to Xuanzhen Sect, can it only be sent to the Qingyun Kingdom or the western border of the Taihua Kingdom? Next, Dayang Group will no longer intervene? "
Zhang Hao nodded: "Well... this proposal sounds very good. Can I understand that if the Xiaoyao faction buys items from us, we will send them to the border between the Qixia Kingdom and the Canglan Kingdom? Good. Shipping charges, customs duties, etc., will you accept it?"
"Uh...but...what I mean is if...if our direct connection with Dayang Group is cut off, can Dayang Group transport goods across the interrupted area?"
"This... Dayang Group respects the laws, regulations and policies of each region. So, as for the details, I'm afraid it needs specific analysis."
Zhang Hao's answer was very slippery, without showing his attitude at all.
Afterwards, everyone asked Dayang Group about the rescue, medical treatment and education of people's livelihood materials. Zhang Hao also just said: We will do our best, but we will also respect local laws and regulations.
But this is a small meeting after all, and Zhang Hao can't practice Tai Chi all the way, so he still gave some bottom lines. For example, Zhang Hao appropriately expressed his ambition for economic expansion and expressed Dayang Group's desire for various precious resources. Of course, there is also the desire for wealth by business groups, the capitalist system.
The contact on the first day ended at dusk, everyone went back to tidy up, and the formal and serious negotiations started the next day. This time, the negotiation was in the negotiation hall, and there was no sound of silk and bamboo around. All the representatives were dressed in formal attire and had their identity stamps. Sit where you belong.
Zhang Hao sat at the main seat, facing north. This time, Zhang Hao represented both Dayang Group and Qixia Country.
The East is the representative of Xiaoyao Sect, West Kunlun, Tianmo Sect, Wusheng Tianluo Sect, Shaoze Kingdom, and various countries. The West is naturally the representative of the remaining holy places and countries.
At the beginning of the negotiation, Zhang Hao's secretary, on behalf of Zhang Hao, read out Dayang Group's concept of the neutrality clause:
The Dayang Group is completely neutral, and hopes to maintain the unimpeded rights of business routes and capital—that is, the Dayang Group can intersperse war zones and battlefields at will.
In addition, the Dayang Group will try its best to provide basic food, basic medical care, and basic education to ordinary people, and will not directly participate in the war, nor will it indirectly support the war through such support.
Finally, since it is neutral, the safety of Dayang Group's personnel must be guaranteed, and all localities must not arbitrarily harm Dayang Group's personnel.
Afterwards, Yin Hong read out the terms of the Qixia Kingdom, which are basically similar to Dayang Group, the only thing is that the option of establishing a consulate is added, and the clauses on the legal influence of the Qixia Kingdom are added.
The terms of Dayang Group and Qixia Kingdom are generally reasonable, but the details are overbearing. The representatives naturally disagreed, and a fierce negotiation started quietly.
The entire negotiation took a full six days, and finally Zhang Hao and other representatives finally signed the official "Principle of Neutrality". Liu Xinyu even called in person and allowed Yin Hong to produce a one-time jade seal that was rubbed with magic Seal stamped.
This one-time seal was directly melted and imprinted on the "Law of Neutrality". So far, the Dayang Group and the Qixia Kingdom will maintain an almost absolute neutrality.
There are roughly three main directions for neutrality clauses:
1. Personnel who escaped from the defeat of any country or holy land can only live in the cities designated by Dayang Group and Qixia Country, and their safety is guaranteed, but they must abide by local laws and regulations, and are not allowed to leave the designated cities.
2. In principle, the caravans of Dayang Group and Qixia Kingdom can reach every corner, including the battlefield. But play it safe. In the non-combat zone, the caravans of the Dayang Group and Qixia Kingdom will be absolutely safe—but they need to abide by local laws and regulations.
3. Dayang Group and Qixia Kingdom will do everything they can to ensure the survival of ordinary people (qi refining period and below), and prop up hope in the flames of war.
Although the "Law of Neutrality" guaranteed business routes for Dayang Group and the Country of Qixia, Dayang Group and the Country of Qixia should also assume social responsibilities to keep the light and hope for the society in war.
Everyone applauded, the determination of the law of neutrality represented the progress of civilization.
But at this moment, Zhang Hao suddenly received a call from outside the hall: The imperial capital of the Canglan Kingdom fell, and Xuanzhen Sect... slaughtered the city!
The scene is full of masters, and everyone has heard it.
Suddenly, there was a dead silence!
Especially Huang Jiye, who was stunned for a moment!
