Chapter 882 Formal Negotiation
You must ask what you should ask, and you shouldn't ask what you shouldn't.
You must ask where the goods are sent from, but who owns the goods and who is going to take them over? This is a taboo thing to ask. Of course, Gao Yang doesn't want to know either.
In fact, it is not allowed to ask what the goods are being escorted, but the type and value of the items being escorted determine the degree of danger of the escort process, so it is not too much to ask, and it will not appear too ignorant.
As for whether the government is involved, some mercenary groups don't care at all, but Gao Yang cares about it very much. He has a principle, that is, he will never have anything to do with the government, no matter which country or country he is in. A big country or a small country, so he must ask this clearly.
If you know something you shouldn't know, someone may die. If you know something you shouldn't know involving the government, and if you involve yourself in it, someone will definitely die. No matter what others think, Gao Yang's recognition Zhi has always been very determined.
Understanding Gao Yang's concerns, Tomler said solemnly: "I can assure you and take responsibility for my words. There is absolutely no official involvement in this matter!"
After finishing speaking, Tomler softened his tone and said: "As for the location, you only need to pick up the goods near Baghdad, Iraq, and then escort the goods to Aleppo. The process of picking up the goods may be a bit troublesome. The convoy is blocked. I'm stuck there and don't dare to leave, and it won't be too peaceful along the way because of the situation in Iraq, you know. Of course, it won't be too peaceful in Syria either. But I think the $15 million commission It’s still okay.”
Gao Yang was silent for a moment. The price really couldn't be considered low, but too high. But this must be related to the value of the goods.
It's troublesome to be unable to tell what the goods are, but you can ask who paid, because according to the rules, Tomler should take the employer's money and deduct the introduction fee before giving the money to Satan, but Tomler did not say How much commission does he want.
Gao Yang shrugged and said: "So. How will the commission be paid? How much commission do I need to pay you? Also, can I ask who the payer is?"
Because he couldn't reveal what the goods were, Gao Yang had to ask more details, and Tomler knew what Gao Yang's concerns were. I also know what Gao Yang wants to know by asking these questions.
After hesitating for a while, Tomler nodded and said: "That's right, you are doing me a favor with this task, so I will definitely not charge any commission. As for the payment method, I will pay five hundred first." A deposit of 10,000 yuan is required, and the rest will be paid in cash after the goods arrive at the location. It can only be cash, and the owner of the fund is from Arabo. That’s all I can say.”
After finishing speaking, Tomler stood up and said with a smile: "Why hasn't the coffee come yet?
Please wait a moment, you two. I'm going to see what's going on with the coffee. "
Tomler certainly couldn't think about two cups of coffee. He had already given the allegation. Now he had to give Gao Yang and Downey Jr. some space so that they could discuss whether to take on this task. Even if they can't immediately agree to take on the task, they still have to quickly come to a conclusion as to whether the task is worth considering.
After Tomler left the office, Gao Yang immediately asked: "Can you pick it up?"
Downey Jr. touched his chin and said: "It sounds like it can be picked up. Iraq and Syria are very messy, but it's not that it can't be picked up. It's just that I don't know what the goods are. It's too difficult. But, since this batch of goods is sent to Syria , then it must be for the rebels, so it’s not too difficult to guess what it is.”
Gao Yang said in a deep voice: "It's definitely not weapons. Now the arms dealers are eager to settle in Syria. They have sent weapons and other things directly. Besides, there are not many people from the United States secretly sending weapons. But since they can't be weapons, what else can they do? What is it? Let me think about it, if it’s not a weapon, and the commission is so high, it must be something very valuable and valuable.”
Downey Jr. smiled and said: "Think about who supports the rebels in Syria, and then consider that the sponsor of the money is an Arab. The goods are not many, but they are extremely precious, and they cannot attract attention. A large troop escort, so what could it be?"
Gao Yang smiled and said: "It seems that we have the same answer. It's money. I can't think of any other possibility."
Downey Jr. nodded and said: "Yes, what we want to give is money, a lot of money! Those rich Arabs want to fund the rebels in Syria, so they need to send the money to the rebels in a low-key and safe manner. It’s safest to give cash directly.”
Gao Yang scratched his head and said, "It's a headache. Fifteen million US dollars in commission is a big deal, but what you have to give away is money, and it's all in the most chaotic place in the world. This is not good."
Downey Jr. smiled bitterly and said: "You are the leader, and it is you who are taking the risk. I can't give you any advice."
After Gao Yang thought seriously for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "The risk is bearable, provided that we must reach an agreement with Tomler. If we encounter irresistible factors, such as exceeding the limit that the ultra-small mercenary group can handle, the task If it fails, we will refund the deposit, but we cannot bear the loss.”
Downey Jr. said: "Of course, they are looking for a super small mercenary group, so they can't expect us to cope with the situation that a large army can handle. Also, the commission must be raised. We have already experienced a failure. Even according to industry regulations, I have to mention the commission, and it won’t be too small, at least 20 million US dollars, so I think it’s relatively safe.”
Gao Yang said in a deep voice: "Okay, you can negotiate the price. If Tomler can agree to the bottom limit of 20 million, we will tell him that he can seriously consider it. As long as there is no objection, we will accept the task. .”
In other people's offices, you have to consider whether there are any bugs or the like. This possibility exists. However, Gao Yang and the others have already said everything they can say, and they can't say anything else, at least not in Tomler. After talking to Gao Yang in his office, Downey Jr. nodded and stopped talking to Gao Yang. Instead, he lowered his head to think about the negotiation skills later.
Tomler gave ten minutes of discussion and consideration time. After ten minutes, Tomler gently knocked on the door a few times, opened the door and walked into the office. Then he smiled and said: "I'm really sorry, I need coffee." Grinding it now took some time."
After the secretary brought the coffee and left again, Gao Yang put two sugar cubes in the coffee cup, stirred it, picked up the coffee, took a sip, raised his brows, and said: "It's really good, it's worth the wait. ”
Gao Yang will no longer speak. He has given full power to Downey Jr. for the rest of the matter. If the negotiation is successful with Downey Jr., there is no need to talk to him again if the negotiation is not successful. He just takes a sip of coffee and praises After conveying this information to Tomler with a groan, Gao Yang began to taste the coffee attentively.
In fact, the coffee is not very good. It is far worse than Nat Schumacher's coffee. Maybe it is instant at all. Of course, this is not important at all.
Downey Jr. did not bring the coffee. He smiled and said: "Mr. Tomler, we are interested in the task you provided, but we need to reach an agreement internally, so I'm sorry that we can't give you a definite answer right away. Also, there are two key points in this task that need to be resolved.”
People who talk about things don't know how to drink coffee, and Tomler didn't touch the coffee in front of him.
Tomler smiled and said: "I understand, this task is obviously a task that needs to be agreed upon, haha, but what do you think are the key points that need to be solved?"
Downey Jr. smiled and said, "Thank you for your understanding. Also, there seems to be room for discussion regarding the commission for this task."
The reason why Downey Jr. first said that he was interested and needed to discuss it, and then said that there were key issues that needed to be solved, the meaning was already obvious. Once the problem is solved, we can reach an agreement. If the problem cannot be solved, or the solution is unsatisfactory, that is It's not that we can reach an agreement, but it's hard to say.
Tomler knew everything, and Downey Jr.’s proposal was not excessive. It was unreasonable not to give him some commission for a mission that had already failed once. This was the rule, so Tomler said happily: “I don’t know what you are doing. What’s the lower limit?”
Downey Jr. didn't ask the lion to open his mouth. He said solemnly: "Twenty million dollars."
Tomler nodded and said: "It has increased by a quarter, which is a bit big, but this is not a problem. I can ask the employer to see if he agrees. Maybe the employer may offer more as soon as I ask. Haha, okay, you can talk about another key point."
Downey Jr. said solemnly: "If we encounter a situation that we cannot handle and are beyond our capabilities, no matter whether our entire army is destroyed or we retreat safely, we cannot be held responsible for our failure or demand compensation."
After finishing speaking, Downey Jr. smiled and said: "Of course, if the mission fails, our deposit will definitely be refunded. But if Satan cannot handle the situation, believe me, the Satan mercenary group can withstand threats and handle any situation." The result must be beyond your best expectations for an ultra-small mercenary group."
Tomler said seriously: "This is a reasonable request. I must agree because I believe in Satan's ability and his professional ethics. In fact, your reputation has always been very good. If you also have to give up the task, it will definitely be A situation has arisen that the ultra-small mercenary group cannot cope with, and I have no doubt about it."
Tomler's attitude was very good, and the negotiation went smoothly and happily. Downey Jr. smiled and said: "Thank you very much for your understanding, Mr. Tomler. Now I have finished stating our requirements."
After Downey Jr. had made his request, it was naturally Tomler's turn to raise it. Tomler leaned forward and said solemnly: "The only request from my employer and I is that it must be fast. You must reach Baghdad as soon as possible." , and then deliver the goods to Syria as soon as possible, this is the only requirement and the most important requirement.”
It makes sense. Tomler cooperated in everything, naturally because he was in trouble. Downey Jr. immediately said: "Okay, we will reply to you as soon as possible. Please wait for my call. I believe I will be able to give you the answer soon."
Since the request is very fast, there is no need to waste time. After Downey Jr. and Gao Yang stood up almost at the same time, Gao Yang smiled and said: "Since time is very tight, then there is no need to waste time. Mr. Tomler, thank you for your time." Thank you for inviting us here, and thank you for the coffee. We bid farewell." (To be continued)
