"A normal businessman would not get angry because a customer blocked him outside the door, and then turn around and threaten the owner, nor would he send someone to check because he guessed that the other party had secrets that he did not know." Clay
He sighed and said, "We do not regard ourselves as merchants, but as creditors and the masters of this tribe.
If it were you, would you be annoyed? Whether it's because the other party has a secret or is using it as an excuse, if we want to continue this business, we must change our attitude.
Otherwise, we can only accept the emotional debt, pat our butt and leave. Even if a gold mountain is dug here in the future, it will have nothing to do with us."
For this reason, even fools understood it, not to mention the business owners who were all smart people. They couldn't help but fall into collective silence and think about their own words and deeds.
It seems that this is indeed the case. When I entered the rockland to do business with Gavin and the kobolds, my state of mind was indeed very different from other places and other people doing business.
Contempt, there should be.
Not only because they are kobolds, small reptiles, aliens in the eyes of humans, and synonymous with weakness, but also because Gavin had nothing at the beginning, and it was they who pieced together the first batch of supplies for him.
The master's mentality is also there.
For the same reason, because of their initial help, they call themselves investors. It is natural to squeeze profits from Gavin and the kobolds. Everything here should be open and transparent to them, with no secrets.
There should be no secrets.
It is precisely because of this mentality that when the kobolds turned them away, they were very angry, thinking that this was inappropriate and rebellious.
"But we did invest in it at the beginning. His approach is a bit too outrageous..." Hansen was still muttering unwillingly, but his tone and tone were not as confident as before.
"Look at yourself, you are still holding on to this small favor and refusing to let go. The emotional score between them and you has been settled, and here you are, taking it and leaving, but you are not willing to accept it. What do you want them to do?
Will this tribe become your slaves, or will all the iron ore and spiritual crystal mine be handed over to you?"
Clay didn't give Hansen a good look. He had already analyzed it so thoroughly. This guy was still stubborn and was hopeless. "If you continue to mess around, it's not Brother Gavin who asked you to do it."
It's a matter of leaving with your emotional debt. For the benefit of the entire caravan, we have to ask you to leave."
"You..." Hansen's face was livid, and he seemed to want to refute, but he looked around and couldn't find an ally. Their expressions were very similar to Clay's. For their own benefit, they would not hesitate.
abandon him.
"The most important thing for this transaction is that everyone has a correct attitude, maintains the relationship between the two parties, and does not let the relationship continue to deteriorate. We will discuss specific countermeasures after we go back. It just so happens that Bader did not come this time, so he is staying out of the matter.
When the time comes, he will take the lead to further ease and deepen the relationship between the two parties. Believe me, as long as we correct our attitude, Brother Gavin will never kick us away, and there will be more interests for us to explore."
Clay finalized the whole matter, "After everyone goes back, think carefully and adjust your mentality and positioning, so as not to ruin tomorrow's negotiation."
"What about me? What should I do with my affairs?" Hansen was a little anxious at this time.
Clay really wanted to let it go, but it was obviously inappropriate, so he could only say patiently: "We have nothing to say about your matter. We will see the other party's attitude during the meeting tomorrow. If the other party's attitude has softened,
We will definitely help you speak and find a way to send this box of crystal stones back."
"What if the other party's attitude is still as tough as today?" Hansen asked hurriedly.
"Then you can only temporarily accept these crystals, keep all the goods you brought, and leave a buffer. Wait until the next trading day, and then follow Bede and let him find a way to ease the relationship.
Send the crystals back, remember, as long as you still want to do business with them, no matter what happens tomorrow, you cannot conflict with them again. No matter what, you must find a way to send this box of crystals back to them, even if it means being humble.
Please." Clay emphasized the last few words.
"I understand." Hansen responded in a muffled voice.
As for whether he really understands or pretends to understand, Clay can't control that much.
After all, attitude is something that cannot be controlled by others. The person concerned must change it himself.
…
the other side.
As soon as Gavin and the others returned to the Black Well Tribe, the girl priest couldn't wait to ask a similar question, "Mr. Gavin, why are you so angry? Aren't we allies?"
"We treat them as friends and allies. Others may not necessarily have the same ideas as us, but treat us as fat sheep, fat sheep that are slaughtered at will."
The previous anger on Gavin's face had long since disappeared, and he explained with a smile, "They dare to ask us to open the door today, and tomorrow they will dare to break into our treasure house and plunder it wantonly. Before it reaches that point, they have to knock it down first.
Beat them and let them find their own position. Only in this way can this business last for a long time and this friend can continue to do it, otherwise sooner or later, we will draw our swords against each other."
The ongoing Dragon Hunting Ceremony in Heijing Square is just an introduction. The rest is Gavin's impromptu idea and use of the theme.
He had long been dissatisfied with the caravan's attitude, but at that time, his power was still weak and he relied heavily on the other party, so he could only swallow his anger. Now that he has a certain confidence, he naturally wants to kill this unhealthy trend.
In the cradle.
As for whether they will offend all those businessmen and drive them away.
Gavin has never worried about this issue at all. Businessmen are profit-seeking by nature. As long as there is a benefit, let alone this little conflict, even if they have drawn a knife and seen blood, they can still sit down and talk for the sake of profit.
What's more, Gavin threw a box of real money and silver out in order to increase his chips. Now even if he forces them with a knife, they won't leave.
"So that's it." The young pastor seemed to understand. She patted her bulging chest and said, "My heart almost jumped out of my chest just now. I was afraid that Mr. Gavin would throw all the boxes out. That would be
The secret is exposed.”
It was true that the half-ogre carried four small wooden boxes with him. In fact, only one contained most of the box of spiritual crystals. The rest were all the rubble Anna had just stuffed in according to Gavin's instructions.
piece.
It is true that those three small wooden boxes were made to contain the spirit crystals, but the problem is that the spirit crystals have not been dug out yet.
The next second, the young priest began to feel distressed again, and said: "Since Mr. Gavin didn't break up with them, why did he throw a box of spiritual crystals to them? Wouldn't this be like beating a dog with a meat bun? That's us.
It was hard to get it in exchange for food."
Anna didn't have much idea about the value of spiritual crystals. She just felt sorry for her own things and gave them away for free.
"Don't worry, I can guarantee that it won't be long before the box of crystals is missing, and it will be sent back intact." Gai Wen held the pearl of wisdom in his hand, "Because they are greedy enough."
