Chapter 934 Negotiation

No matter who it is, when 'money' is presented in front of such a terrifying scale, there will inevitably be a moment of astonishment and an instinctive impulse.

In the silence, Huai Shi's face was as dark as water, without any expression.

Unmoved at all.

But secretly, he couldn't help but his thoughts were spinning.

He could not help but start to calculate: how to break through the defense and security on the ground, how many people and what kind of tools are needed to successfully take away such an unjust amount of dirt, how to plan, how to recruit people, how to find the weaknesses of the defense , how to get in and out from under the nose of the American army, and even how to launder money and divide the stolen goods in the end...

By the time he pulled back his slippery thoughts, he had already missed the opportunity to express himself.

Instead, Russell whistled, not hiding his admiration and feeling sincerely.

"Is this the financial power of Las Vegas? It's really spectacular... By the way, how much does it cost?"

he asked over his shoulder.

"A total of 1,300 tons of gold, 210 tons of source crystals, and 400 tons of pure gold. In addition, here is a key to the Bank of America's vault.

All the border relics that were sold on the black market back then were among them. "

In the wheelchair, Douglas stretched out his hand, took a box from his subordinate, and held it up with both hands: "I know why you came, Mr. Russell - we have no intention of defending what happened back then, but we are willing to pay the price for it."

He said, "Double return!"

Just like that, with his head lowered and his hands raised, he respectfully presented the assets and prices taken back then: "As long as you are willing to nod, everything will belong to you at this moment, here. And Las Vegas Si will be your forever friend.

In any dispute, if you appear on the opposite side, we will stay away and will never be your enemy! "

Russell smiled.

He lowered his head, looked at the box, and flicked the ashes.

But he didn't take it.

"How interesting, Douglas. You and the world always surprise me."

He sighed softly: "Seventy years ago, I never knew your name at all. Seventy years later, you are already standing in front of me and making terms with me.

The world has changed so fast. After so many years, America has changed from a wilderness to the present state of Wuchang. The Utopia has changed from its birth to its fall. Las Vegas has changed from a desert with no shit to a city of desire. Technology In progress, the times are developing, and inflation is inflating. Every day is completely different from yesterday, and tomorrow will be different from today.

Everything is evolving and growing, and so are you.

But it seems that we are still stuck in the past, immersed in the afterglow of the past, and it is difficult to face the tragic future..."

In the dead silence, no one responded.

Only the old man's laughter became more and more playful.

"Seventy years ago, you usurped the supplies stored in the Utopia and plundered the wealth we accumulated. Based on this, you gained the family fortune and assets of Nuoda.

Now seventy years later, I came here and you told me - don't be angry, we didn't mean it, we intend to repay the principal? And to save you from whining, we’ll double it! "

"It's like I'm a beggar who comes to your door!"

He lowered his head in disbelief and asked, "How low have I fallen that you actually want to embarrass me like this?"

In the long silence, no one responded, only Douglas's heavy breathing under the oxygen mask.

After a while, the old man in the wheelchair responded hoarsely: "We are showing our sincerity, Mr. Russell, no one here dares to humiliate you."

"No, that's actually what you're doing, isn't it?"

Russell shook his head and sneered: "It's just that the way you humiliate people will make people think you are polite - in fact it is not the case, right?

Douglas, you have to understand that I am not here for your friendship or your sincerity. "

He said word for word: "I just want to get back what we deserve."

"You can make a bid."

Douglas raised his eyes, his weakened eyes seemed to be burning with fire: "This is also the reason why I came here today. No matter what kind of compensation you want, we can talk about it."

Russell chuckled softly: "In other words, are you ready for 'negotiation'?"

"We will do our best to prevent disputes and make peace, Mr. Russell." Douglas replied calmly without flinching: "The difference is whether you are willing to talk."

"Of course, why wouldn't you want to? It's a time of peace now. Could it be that I would go on a killing spree in this situation just because of my own joy and anger?"

Russell grinned and mocked like this: "Douglas, if you want to negotiate, then I can negotiate for you, but the person you want to negotiate with is not me."

He paused slightly and looked behind him.

Not far away, Huai Shi, who was leaning against the door and taking a selfie with his back to Jinshan, froze. He couldn't help shaking, then shaking again, in disbelief.

"What the hell?" He was shocked and lost his voice.

"People in Eastern Xia say that if the master has something to do, the disciple will do his duty, right?" Russell happily blew the smoke of his cigar: "How about you take my place?"

"Um?!"

Huai Shi felt that her head was expanding rapidly.

Like a whole balloon.

big head!

When you co-authored it, did you say that this is the debut?

Why are you arranged for me again out of nowhere!

"Don't resist, Huai Shi. Isn't this what you should do as an assistant and secretary? Now that I think about it, you haven't done it even once. It's really a bit derelict in your duty."

Russell enthusiastically suggested, "Since we happened to meet you this time, let me leave it to you."

As if he finally remembered his responsibilities as a teacher, Russell looked like he didn't mind the matter, and was encouraging him in his ears like a devil.

"It just so happens that it also allows me, as a teacher, to be of some use... just treat it as a social practice class, how about it!"

"It feels very troublesome to talk about it from both sides!"

Huai Shi shook his head decisively. If he had that time, he might as well put on a talent show.

"Forget it, I'm not good at this kind of superficiality."

"That's a job given to my subordinates. They don't have the responsibility and ability to bear the consequences, so they can only do it piecemeal and deduct a few cents from the profit. It's like bargaining for cabbage."

Russell shook his head and said seriously: "But what I want to teach you is not this kind, and it won't be that troublesome. It will be more direct, retaining decency and dignity for both parties, and at the same time, it will be more straightforward and refreshing.

As a leader, how to express your attitude correctly is part of your responsibility. You should start learning, Huai Shi. "

As he spoke, he spread his hands and suggested:

"How about we start now?"

In the silence, the corners of Huai Shi's eyes twitched for a long time.

He sighed helplessly, everything had been arranged at home, what else could he do?

Huai Shi nodded slightly.

In just a moment of trance, he found that he was in the center of the Golden Mountain, surrounded by countless golden guards. Even the long table and seats in front of him were made of the metal that was enough to redeem his soul.

In the splendid and solemn treasure house, the two parties were arranged on both sides of the long table.

Huai Shi sat at the front, a little strangely accustomed to the feeling of being in the spotlight.

On the golden recliner behind him, Russell raised his hand, crushed the cigar in his hand, and began to talk about the first point of today's lecture.

"First of all, before negotiations begin, you need to explain your intention to the other party."

He asked the students in front of him, as if teaching children how to solve problems step by step, "Huai Shi, what is our purpose?"

"Recover assets?"

Huai Shi is a little unsure.

"It's too general. You need to set a scope and goal, and you also need to draw a bottom line for yourself."

Russell reminded: "There is something you can fight for, and there is something you can give up. Only if you understand these, you will not be led by the other party."

"How to decide this?" Huai Shi was confused.

Russell waved his hand indifferently, not caring: "You can come up with it yourself, you have to give it a try."

"Repay tenfold?"

"Ha ha ha ha."

Russell laughed loudly: "It's really easy for you, Huai Shi. The price is too low. If word spreads like this, we will definitely be regarded as country bumpkins."

Huai Shi thought for a moment and asked seriously: "What if our goal is to take away everything?"

"You can try it."

Russell held his chin up, full of expectation: "Maybe it will work."

Across the long table, Douglas was expressionless, but behind him, the representatives of the Casino Alliance were already livid.

Why don't they understand?

Russell never cared about the outcome of the negotiations.

This old thing treats this place as a kindergarten and treats power as a toy, putting it in the hands of children and admiring him as he wields his power.

He is simply here to bring students to class!

And they are the cheap models hanging on Russell's blackboard, the flasks and measuring cups in chemistry classes, the 'teaching tools' used to illustrate theorems!

"That's enough!" Someone roared gloomily: "Mr. Russell, don't you have any sincerity at all?"

No one responded.

Only Douglas glanced aside indifferently.

William nodded, reached into his arms, held the pistol, and pulled it out, but the movement stopped abruptly.

It was as if...the pause button was suddenly pressed.

He froze in place.

Unable to move.

There was only one pair of eyes full of confusion.

"Oops, there's an emergency, Huai Shi—someone is here to disrupt the situation."

Russell lamented: "In fact, unexpected situations often occur in negotiations. For example, the other party has difficulty suppressing internal differences, which leads to someone deliberately creating accidents, and then intending to affect the process and results of the negotiation."

He paused, like a teacher asking a question, and asked Huaishi: "If it were you, what would you do?"

"Is it me?" Huai Shi asked.

"Yes, it's you. It's you who make the decision now, Huaishi, don't care about my opinion. Regardless of success or failure, it's just a practical assessment, the kind where you learn now and sell now."

Russell said patiently: "You can do whatever you want, it doesn't matter."

Huai Shi thought for a moment and shrugged: "To be honest, I don't like idiots pretending to be stupid and muddying the waters."

He said, "I will chop off his head."

"That's too rude, Huai Shi. You lose your grace and bearing. One point will be deducted."

Russell shook his head, a little helpless at this student's rough behavior, "But since you said so, then chop off his head -"

He raised his fingers and tapped the gold on the armrest.

A mock sentence of 'death' was handed down.

In an instant, the sluggish opponent was frozen in place, with nothing above his neck.

But he did not die, not even shed a drop of blood.

It was as if it had just been taken away and hidden by something terrible.

He raised his hand blankly and touched the empty top of his neck, as if he was shouting in terror, but he couldn't hear the sound and didn't understand what was happening.

Running aimlessly in terror.

Finally, he was dragged down by someone who reacted.

Only now did William finally regain consciousness.

But when he looked at the old man at the end of the long table, he lost the courage to take out his weapon.

Douglas's eyes were lowered, as if he didn't care.

"Then, after announcing your intention, you can then enter the second stage."

Russell spread his hands and received it happily: "Now, you can show your strength and capital, Huai Shi."

Kavin ORZ, please take a day off, I want to cut off the plot of Dongxia...
