Chapter 95 Final Decision

"Profitable?" Ashford's eyes lit up as soon as he heard these four words.

"Actually, the problem is very simple. The British and French alliance must be unable to withstand the pressure and want to reduce losses when they come to negotiate. And if we really 'force' them to death, it will not be good. Therefore, negotiations can still be negotiated. The key is It depends on how you talk about it. Our goal is to maximize profits and we cannot let the British and French guilds take advantage in vain."

"That makes sense. But what should we do specifically?" Ashford asked.

"The specific issues have to be decided at the negotiation table, because so far we don't fully understand each other's ideas. Only after a thorough understanding can we make a decision. Anyway, we will talk to them first, and no one said that negotiations will not include an intermission. , after we have a general understanding, we can properly control the progress of the negotiation, and when we need to discuss issues, we can just stop and take a rest."

"Yes, let's do it like this." Feng Yin Piaomiao just wanted to take the money anyway and had absolutely no specific opinions on me.

Half an hour passed quickly, and I took everyone back to the meeting to negotiate. After pushing the door open, they saw that the other party was still gathered together, and it was obvious that the discussion had not yet been completed. I ignored them and went directly to the seat opposite.

"Okay, half an hour has passed, and now it's time for you to give your answers. If you don't want to talk, please leave here. We are competing on the battlefield. Those who want to talk can stay. Now let's discuss how Get more benefits for everyone.”

The people from the British and French guilds looked at each other, but in the end no one left, and they all sat at the negotiation table.

I smiled and said: "Okay, since everyone is staying, it means that you are planning to negotiate with us. Since you are going to negotiate, you must first clarify the current form." I took out a statistical evaluation report and said: " This is our latest battlefield situation analysis. The target Beast Alliance seems to have been completely disbanded. The last city of the Beast Alliance fell three hours ago. This guild no longer exists. So if you want to end the gambling, you only need to go to the iron Just decide a winner between the Crusaders and the Foster Alliance. According to our latest data, the number of remaining cities in the Foster Alliance is less than four. In three hours at most, the Foster Alliance will Becomes history, which means that even if there is no negotiation, we will definitely get the gambling money. You have no objection to this, right?"

Several people from the British and French guilds looked at each other, and Al, the president of the Imperial Alliance, said: "We will not argue about your final victory, but you must admit it. If we resist with all our strength according to the current situation, your battle is at least It will take another seven to eight hours to end, and you will lose a large number of hired NPCs for this. Converted into monetary losses, you will lose at least 1.3 billion crystal coins. Do you have any disagreement on this?"

"The estimate of one billion crystal coins is a bit too high." I looked at the data and said: "Even if we calculate it liberally, our loss will not exceed 1.2 billion crystal coins. You don't need to refute this, because you don't know Essinger. The cost of ground transportation. I can tell you that although this cost is very high, it is not as high as you estimated. 1.2 billion is a loose calculation, and the actual situation should be around 1.1 billion. Regarding the combat time, 7 Eight hours is too long. The reason I calculated 1.1 billion is that I include Isinger’s operating costs, which means we will use super weapons to attack. Four cities will become four in two hours Ruins. It didn’t take eight hours at all.”

"But Essinger is surrounded by us, can you run away?"

I laughed. "Whether you can run away or not is not up to you. If Essinger really moves, your army will definitely not be able to stop it. I have also seen your energy absorption device, and it can indeed cause us a lot of damage. But it is not strong enough to completely restrict Essinger's movement. To be honest, Essinger may be forced to land and shut down for a period of time. You people will definitely not be able to capture Essinger in this period of time. It's qualified. And our people can knock out your energy extractor in a very short time, so you can't trap Isinger at all. As long as Isinger participates in the war, the final outcome of the war will definitely be what you predicted. The situation is different. So don’t use this to bargain with us.”

"President Ziri, although what we said is indeed a bit exaggerated, why are you the same?"

Rose said: "We are all understanding people. I will give you half an hour to think about it so that you can understand our situation. But it seems that you do not fully understand our intentions!"

I also nodded and said: "As I said just now, if you want to beat us up, just be sincere if you want to talk. Don't try to play any tricks. No one is a fool. There is no point in using such tricks at this time. "

Al shook his head helplessly and said: "I have to admit that you are a troublesome opponent. Okay, let's be practical."

I nodded and said with a smile: "Isn't this right? Since we are talking about reality, let's guess everyone's situation. The current situation is that you will definitely not be able to eliminate the Iron Cross before we eliminate the Foster Alliance. Therefore, we must win the bet. Now that we already know the result, the gamble actually has no meaning. If you continue to fight with us, your loss will be extra investment, which is not cost-effective for you. We will resist your attacks with our strength. We also need to make additional defenses, which is not cost-effective for us. What we are talking about now is actually to see how to reduce these unnecessary losses, right?" Seeing that Al seemed to want to speak, I quickly added: "Of course, in return for saving us so much investment, we should take some money from the gambling money to compensate everyone, right?"

Al nodded: "You are right. The current situation is like this. If we can negotiate good terms, it will be good for everyone."

Rose said: "If we keep fighting like this, our guild may lose personnel or materials worth one billion by the time the gamble ends. In addition, the investment in winning the war is also around 1.1 billion, so we will The cost is about 2.1 billion. In addition, the Iron Crusaders and the Hot-Blooded Alliance will also suffer corresponding losses, but they are not as big as the losses of our main guild. It is obviously not feasible for us to give you all the money saved by the truce. possible."

"Then what do you mean?"

I took over from Rose and said: "What we mean is actually easy to guess. Since we have saved 2.1 billion by ending the battle early, then we will split it in half. Our guild will pay you 1 billion and 50 million crystal coins, and You stop the war with us and help us solve the last four cities of the Foster Alliance. Although this one billion and fifty million is a little less than your bet, it is better than nothing and I can finally help you get some back. Isn’t it?”

"Are you too dark?" Michelle asked me unconvinced.

"Miss, don't think I'm really making a lot of money. Now that we've said it, we won't have any secret budgets, let's just be honest with each other. The actual investment of our guild this time is more than 3 billion crystal coins. After getting back the 3 billion principal, we can finally get more than 10 billion crystal coins from the gambling money. But this is not pure profit. After the system tax is removed, we can only get about 8 billion crystal coins. This war has been going on for such a long time. Even if labor costs are not considered, the losses of equipment and NPCs that have been actually invested are already close to 4 billion, not counting the last 2.1 billion."

When I said this, Feng Yin asked Hongyue in a low voice: "Why is your guild investing so much? Didn't you see how much you lost?"

Hong Yue suppressed a smile and said to Feng Yin Piaomiao: "Do you believe what Zi Ri said?"

Feng Yin Piaomiao immediately glanced at Hongyue in surprise, then shook her head and asked no more questions. In fact, our guild's investment this time is indeed not small. Even including the 2.1 billion, our total investment is almost 4 billion. However, the current losses are less than 2 billion, which is far less exaggerated than what I said.

I calculated with the guys from the Anglo-French guild. "Think about it. The actual gambling income of 8 billion, after deducting the loss of 4 billion, is still 4 billion. If I divide you 1 billion and 50 million, I won't even be able to earn 3 billion. Such a huge risk . In the end, we got an actual escort rate that is less than one escort. You still call me a cheater. Where on earth am I cheater?"

My question made the heads of the British and French guilds across the street speechless, but the people here didn't think so. Feng Yin Piaomiao and Ashford were thinking in their hearts: "What's wrong with you? I should ask you what's wrong with you. The answer is definitely no. The loss that was less than two billion yuan turned into more than four billion yuan in one remark. This Isn’t it too fast to raise the price of land?”

Hongyue was also calculating in her mind: "The actual loss is not even 2 billion. If the last 2.1 billion can be saved if the negotiation is successful, we only need to pay 1 billion to the Anglo-French Alliance. Calculating the net profit is at least At more than five billion, this is already a lot. With an investment of three billion, we made a net profit of five billion in less than a week, which is faster than printing money."

Of course. They want to think about it, and no one is stupid enough to say it. If the British and French guilds hear it, the one billion compensation may have to become 1.5 billion or even higher. That is all money, how can it be taken away by others for free, so at this time everyone chooses to He looked at me negotiating with the Anglo-French alliance with a heartbroken look.

Alco didn't know that all the people in our guild were at the level of high-level actors. Seeing Hongyue and the people in our guild looking pained, he immediately determined that the value was quite reasonable. In fact, it is only said that we will pay one billion in compensation. But in fact, the Anglo-French alliance got much more than this. One billion is part of our guild. Feng Yin Piaomiao's Hot Blood Alliance and Ashford's Iron Crusaders naturally have to discount their losses, with our example. The remaining two guilds will most likely calculate compensation according to our half-open method. In addition to these two sums of money, the British and French guilds themselves also saved money. If they really want to fight us to the death, then their "fish" will definitely die, and these "fish" don't fall from the sky, they also spend money to buy land. Although the current system does not limit the purchase quantity of NPC armies, it must be considered that NPC armies are not cheap, and it will become even more serious once the number of legions increases. Most of the over 10 million troops of the Anglo-French Alliance this time are NPCs. Once these people die in battle, it is equivalent to a loss for the Anglo-French Alliance. Now that the war has stopped early, they will keep these NPCs for use or sell them to others. It will be an asset. Since they want to cause us a loss of 2.1 billion, the actual value of the NPCs they paid should be more than 3 billion. After all, the soldiers in our guild are of relatively high quality. If they want us to lose 2 billion in assets, the other party It would have to cost more than three billion.

We will compensate one billion. The Iron Crusaders and the Hot-Blooded Alliance can compensate about 1.2 billion in total. With the 3 billion saved, the Anglo-French Alliance can at least get more than 5.2 billion in benefits from the negotiations. Although this is less than the investment. Fifty-two billion is not worth mentioning, but it is a considerable amount after all, and the British and French guilds should be satisfied with this.

Michelle, who said I was evil-hearted, was confused by the results I calculated and didn't know what to say. They knew that there was a lot of water in it, but they couldn't squeeze out the water. It's not that they don't want to suppress it, it's that they can't suppress it. Whenever they wanted to bargain, I threatened not to negotiate. As a result, they had to negotiate, so they had no choice but to stick their heads out and let me kill them. The gambling investment failed, and these guilds have entered a period of economic difficulty. If this negotiation can succeed, they can save 5 billion. The use to them is similar to providing help in times of need. It is life-saving money. Because of this, the British and French guilds did not dare to bargain with me at all.

Al Yi gritted his teeth and said: "Okay! One billion. Your guild will compensate one billion, but what about the other two?"

"Five hundred million." Feng Yin Piaomiao said simply: "Not even one more penny is enough. Our guild is just here to help in the fight. The loss you will cause me will not be too great, and I have not invested much, so I will not compensate you too much." many."

Ashford has the most supplies, and this time the people under threat from the enemy are basically his birth month, so it is the hardest for him to make a decision. After thinking about it for a long time, he said: "Nine hundred million, that's all at most. Even if you want me, I don't have it anymore. The guild has been beaten like this, and my funds are also very tight."
