Regarding this result, Gao Shaoyi had actually known for a long time that Dongdi was a poor country, and the whole country could not produce much. In addition, there were more people and less land, so it was really difficult for them to spit out the meat they ate.
It wouldn't matter if I lost a penny in the past. How much money you took from the Daqian Dynasty before, now you have to spit it all out. Now Gao Shaoyi's main opponent is the Rakshasa Empire. If you let you go, I will let you go. Horse, of course, the benefits are indispensable, but we just need to get it back in another way.
"You can relax in some aspects and reduce the amount of compensation by half. Just let them compensate us 20 million silver coins. However, the concessions returned to us must be increased to three, one of which must be the concession in South East City. ."
No matter how other places are returned to Gao Shaoyi, Nandong Province will definitely be of important use in the next few days. If Gao Shaoyi wants to plant a flag on Dashuai Zhang's territory, it may not be easy, but if I want to return it After the concession of Dongdi Country was brought over, Marshal Zhang could not say anything else.
"Master Hou, this may be difficult. The concession in Nandong Province is the second largest in the world after the Haicheng Concession. They are already preparing to return the Haicheng Concession. If they are allowed to return the concession in Nandong Province again, Return it to us, this seems a bit..."
What Li Kunyi said is not unreasonable. Dongdi Kingdom can be found in seven places throughout the Daqian Dynasty. Among them, the concessions in Haicheng and Nandong Province ranked first and second respectively. Both in terms of area and construction level, they should be the largest. The Qian Dynasty is the best. If all these two places are returned, Dongdi Kingdom will probably go crazy. They might as well pay the full war compensation of 40 million silver coins.
"You don't need to ask me about this matter. Learn more from your father. Your father's achievements in diplomacy are enough for you to learn for a lifetime. It's a good thing that you come to negotiate, and it can also be considered as a chance for you to experience." , but there’s no harm in learning more from the seniors.”
Diplomatic negotiation skills are a great knowledge. Gao Shaoyi thinks that he has not made much achievements in this area, but Li Zhongtang sitting next to him is different. He can ensure that even under such a disadvantageous situation, This is indeed not an ordinary person who wants to benefit the empire a lot.
After Gao Shaoyi finished speaking, he went to find a place to rest. He was really tired on the way.
Li Hongtang looked at his youngest son with a proud expression on his face. He also wanted to give guidance to his youngest son before.
Who knew that this little brat thought that our theories were outdated, so he always made the decision without authorization? Now you see, let alone you little brat, even the Marquis you admire also admires my diplomatic ability.
"Father, please give me some instructions."
Li Kunyi also saw that Gao Shaoyi would hand over all negotiations to him in the future. This kid was also looking for teachers all over the world, but he didn't know that the best teacher was his father. Looking at the entire Daqian Dynasty, he was capable in diplomacy. He has not surpassed his father's existence.
"Pour some tea."
Li Hongtang crossed his legs, not to embarrass his own son, but to let this boy know that he has not been in vain all these years. After coming to the Suppression Army, he worshiped this and that, and completely forgot about your father. The one you should worship most.
In fact, every father hopes that his son will worship him. Li Hongtang also saw that if his two sons wanted to take over the family business in the future, they would have to rely on the younger son in front of him.
But this little son worshiped Buddha everywhere, but forgot about himself, the biggest Buddha. Today, he also made this boy understand. Of course, Li Hongtang was very grateful to Gao Shaoyi in his heart. If it weren't for Gao Shaoyi's words just now, this brat wouldn't know it.
When will I understand.
"Father, please have tea. In the past, it was my son who acted nonsense. I hope my father will not be as knowledgeable as his son. How can we solve the predicament in this situation? Dongdi Kingdom cannot give us both of the two large concessions, right?"
Li Kunyi is also thick-skinned. If he is thin-skinned, there is no way he can achieve anything in this area. What's more, the man in front of him is his biological father. What's wrong with being shameless in front of his biological father and not coming to Taiwan?
There's nothing to be ashamed of.
"You are just a fool. What the Marquis wants now is the concession in Nandong Province. The concession in Haicheng will only be given to the people of Dongdi State. Haicheng is the center of our power, and the people of Dongdi State will not count.
If there is a concession here, we have to do things according to our wishes, it is nothing more than a name."
Li Hongtang was indeed sincere when he looked at his son, but at this moment his mind was a little over the top. Otherwise, this issue would be easy to understand.
After Li Hongtang finished speaking, Li Kunyi immediately felt his mind light up.
Dad is right, Dongdi State must ensure that a large concession is in their hands, otherwise they would rather fight a war.
What we need now is the concession in Nandong Province. We can just leave the concession in Haicheng to them.
There are so many anti-lundering troops in Haicheng, and it is impossible for them to bully our people. Moreover, the Haicheng Concession is already under the control of the anti-lundering army. Although various countries still have overseas agencies here, they are equal residents.
external agencies.
Those messy consular jurisdictions in the past have now been abolished, but it is different in Nandong Province. For us, it is a practical benefit to get the concession there. Dongdi Kingdom gets Haicheng
The concession is to maintain their own face.
"Can the people of Dongdi agree? It's just to save face."
Li Kunyi is a little unsure in this regard. If this agreement can really be achieved, we will indeed make a lot of benefits, but Dongdi Country has nothing but face. How can they be so stupid?
"If other people from the Dongdi Kingdom serve as negotiators, this matter may not be possible, but if it is Prince Beigong Bai, then this matter will definitely be accomplished. If he still wants to return to his homeland, he will definitely facilitate this matter.
No matter what the price, he will want this good reputation."
Li Hongtang patted his son on the shoulder. You, boy, can figure out the rest by yourself. The master leads you to practice alone. Even a father and son cannot analyze everything clearly for you. In that case, you
My mind can no longer move. There is a lot to think about in diplomacy. From personal to national interests, everything must be taken into account. This is an outstanding diplomat. You still have a lot to learn.
