Chapter 1567 The Value Is Right
The so-called transaction is the exchange of what is needed.
Take what I have for what I don’t have and vice versa.
Through various intelligences, Master Dewey concluded that the Elf Queen was very interested in Fort Vicky's technology, so he specially brought her here to see scientific research results such as submarines, and captured her curious heart in an instant.
So the bitter plan went hand in hand, saying that the resources of their own town of Fort Wych were scarce and could not continue to support the development of scientific research. For the sake of the two countries to move forward together, and for the sake of harmonious coexistence and mutual prosperity, I hope that the Elf Queen will understand the overall situation and launch an early project against the trees in the Elf Forest through the two countries. A win-win strategy.
However, it is not as good as God.
If such a drama of sweet beans and bitter medicine were performed in the past, the Elf Queen would definitely be in a dilemma of indecision, but today is different from the past. Behind her, there is a greater backing, which is enough to support her to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.
That is the Fairy Queen.
This great god cannot be beaten by just anyone. Master Dewey knows this, and so does the Elf Queen.
Therefore, Master Dewey has been avoiding the topic of the Fairy Queen, trying to lure the young Fairy Queen into agreeing.
But the Elf Queen didn't take the bait, and even turned the topic to the Fairy Queen in a roundabout way, as if I was not alone, and the Fairy Queen and I were advancing and retreating together.
Beside them.
Emily still stood quietly beside the Queen, constantly looking at the giant creature around her with surprised and curious eyes.
Master Hall looked like an old god, thinking about some fantastic idea.
I leaned to the side, folded my arms, and watched with a smile the scene of the confrontation between two cunning foxes, the old one and the young one, Master Dewey and the Elf Queen.
Master Dewey thought for a while and said, "I don't know what Her Majesty the Fairy Queen thinks. Please state it clearly."
The Elf Queen smiled and said: "Your Majesty has not yet given an answer regarding this."
Just as she was finishing her words, I felt a slight tremor in my pocket. I took out the phone crystal and took a look. It was the Fairy Queen calling.
He took a few steps forward, handed the crystal to the Elf Queen, and said, "This is a call from the Queen's grandma."
When the crystal was connected, the Fairy Queen's voice came from inside: "Is it Xiao Yi?"
"Grandma, it's me," the Elf Queen said, "Anasta."
"Anasta," the Fairy Queen asked, "How is the deal with Master Dewey going?"
The Elf Queen said: "There is no progress yet, I'm just waiting for you to set the price, grandma."
The Fairy Queen paused and said: "There is no need to set a price. I only have two requirements."
"First, the value must be appropriate, and second, the water must flow steadily."
After saying that, the queen's grandma said, "That's probably it, you can discuss it, I'm very busy" and hung up the call.
What does value mean?
What does it mean to have a steady flow of water?
I was leaning against the rock wall with a confused look on my face, completely unable to understand what the Fairy Queen meant.
The Elf Queen coughed slightly in embarrassment and said, "Master Dewey, you heard what His Majesty meant."
The corners of Master Dewey's eyes twitched slightly, and he said helplessly: "I'm sorry that I don't understand the meaning, but I would like to ask Her Majesty the Elf Queen to explain it in detail."
The Elf Queen smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know this at the moment. Why don't I ask Grandma the Queen about it."
After saying that, she dialed the Fairy Queen's message and handed the crystal back to me.
"Huh?" I asked with a surprised look on my face, "What does this mean?"
The Elf Queen's eyes showed pleading, and her lips moved. Although she didn't pronounce a single sound, she could tell what she meant by reading her lips - please, help me.
Just as I was about to refuse, the call crystal had already picked up, and the Fairy Queen's voice came from the other side: "Is it Xiao Yi?"
"Ahem, it's me, Grandma Queen." Bracing myself, I picked up the crystal and responded.
The Fairy Queen's voice was very brief: "I'm very busy, please tell me if you have anything to say."
Seeing the Elf Queen constantly gesticulating and winking at me, I said helplessly: "That's it, none of us here can understand the two requests you just made. Please explain them a little bit." Let’s talk about the specific meaning of these two requirements.”
"Oh?" The Fairy Queen's voice was full of disdain, and she said lightly: "If you don't understand, it's understandable. If that girl Anastas doesn't hear, it's barely acceptable. But Master Dewey, Maybe he doesn’t understand?”
With a sneer, the Fairy Queen continued: "If you really don't understand, then that's easy."
As soon as I heard that there was a door, I quickly asked: "What should I do?"
"Tell him to hand over all the ancient documents, and let him cut down the trees in the Elf Forest."
"This is impossible!" Without thinking, Master Dewey blurted out: "The ancient documents are the most precious treasure of our Fort Vicky, how can we trade them at will?"
The Fairy Queen chuckled and said, "Don't forget, this Fairy Forest is also the most precious treasure of my Moonlight City."
After saying that, he hung up the crystal again.
Looking at Master Dewey's slightly deflated look, I seemed to be able to guess what kind of all-powerful woman the Fairy Queen was when she was young!
The Elf Queen's smile was partly helpless and partly snickering. She first cast a sympathetic look, and then said: "Master Dewey, look at this deal."
Master Dewey sighed deeply and said helplessly: "Just follow what I said before. First, it must be of appropriate value, and second, it must be a steady flow."
"Why is the value right?" I said, as if listening to a book from heaven, with a confused look on my face: "Why is the water so thin that it flows so long?"
"I told you to study more politics, but you just didn't listen." Master Dewey scolded me, "You don't even understand such a simple thing?"
I looked extremely humble, but inside I cried out that I was wronged.
When did you tell me to study more politics?
After reprimanding me, Master Dewey seemed to have relieved a lot of the anger in his heart. He explained in a calm tone: "The so-called appropriate value means exchanging each other's goods with the same value."
"Same value?" I turned to the Elf Queen and asked, "What is the value of hardwood in Moonlight City?"
The Elf Queen thought for a moment and said: "Hard wood is not very valuable, but I think the value grandma mentioned when she mentioned it should not be referring to things like gold coins."
On the side, Master Dewey sighed again and said: "As expected of Her Majesty the Elf Queen of Moonlight City, her thoughts are broad. Yes, what Her Majesty the Elf Queen means is not the value of gold coins, but the use of hardwood and its own use. The value reflected, in other words, the phrase "value is appropriate" is not meant for you to hear, but for me, asking me to use appropriate value as a bargaining chip to exchange for hardwood and other timber from Moonlight City."
"No wonder the Fairy Queen would say that the Fairy Forest is also the treasure of Moonlight City." I couldn't help but exclaimed: "It turns out that she had already thrown all the baggage to her adoptive father between the lines!"
Master Dewey's eyes widened and he said in a bad tone: "You scoundrel, now that you understand, you should also make some suggestions on what you should use as a bargaining chip!"
