Shang Weitian and a group of think tank members were sitting at the conference table in straight suits, reading various materials meticulously and quickly, and whispering from time to time.
"The mountains shown in this photo have a 95% probability of containing iron ore. Although the quality of this temporary photo is unclear, if you look at the color and texture of this exposed rock, it is obviously iron ore, and the iron
The content is not low.”
"And this, this terrain, combined with the surrounding geology and vegetation structure, there is a high probability that there is oil underneath, but the reserves need to be explored."
"Look at the crops they grow without the help of any modern fertilizers. They are just primitive cultivation, but they are so big... This corn-like crop weighs three kilograms each! Preliminary estimates are that the yield per mu is two tons.
, four times that of corn!”
These photos were taken by scouts in the human army who entered that world, and even retrieved some soil samples. Now, Shang Weitian and others conducted a detailed analysis.
The more they analyzed it, the more excited Shang Weitian and others became about the upcoming negotiations.
There is no doubt that although that world is primitive, it is also very fertile!
The key is.
"Although these orcs are not very smart, they are powerful and physically strong." Shang Weitian looked at the orcs in the photo: "In addition to being natural warriors, they are also more suitable for working... Over there in the northwest production area
We still need some labor.”
"If we cooperate, we can definitely hire them to work for me in Daxia!"
To be honest, Daxia can have the idea of letting orcs work.
If it were another country that formed an alliance with such tall and brave orcs, they would probably be conducting military training on them the next day and preparing to invade.
Only Daxia can use natural warriors like orcs as workers...it's a bit too down-to-earth.
However, it is completely different from the atmosphere of Shang Weitian's preparedness and tense analysis.
"Sister Cardin, this is delicious!"
"Master, give me another bowl of this meat and another bowl of that meat!"
"Hmm, Nika, please slow down and leave some for me."
Cardin and several of the orcs he brought were almost lying on the conference table, eating like crazy. Bowls of food were placed in front of them. Their huge hands directly grabbed the food and stuffed it into their mouths.
He doesn't care about the way he eats, and his mouth is full of oil when he eats.
To be honest, these are home-cooked dishes, brought temporarily from the cafeteria of the Great Steel Wall. After all, before this, no one thought that Lin Fan actually brought the orc representatives to discuss cooperation, so no special preparations were made.
Furthermore, time is urgent now, and there is no time to organize a state banquet, so everything is kept simple.
Shang Weitian originally said a few polite words, saying that the reception was not good, but in the end, he saw that the orcs' heads were buried in the basin...
It's really the orcs' cooking skills that are too worrisome. Under those primitive living conditions, they either bake them directly or boil them in water.
Even Daxia's home-cooked dishes are unimaginably delicious to them!
Cardin swallowed a roasted chicken in one gulp, chewed it with big mouthfuls, and said with a face full of satisfaction: "Just this bite... betraying the gods is worth it! Our ancestors and compatriots did not die in vain!"
"Human food is so delicious!"
"This world is indeed very good!"
Nika on the side directly picked up a large basin and drank the broth. Another orc reminded: "Nika, pay attention to how you eat! Don't let humans underestimate us!"
After saying that, the orc picked up half a bowl of steamed buns, chewed them with a bulging mouth.
Chefs are constantly arriving from the canteen with basins of food.
finally.
Lin Fan pushed the door open and walked in. He was slightly startled when he saw the scene in front of him.
On the side of the conference table, Shang Weitian of the Daxia team and members of the think tank were in suits and leather shoes, holding data and analyzing it in low voices, while constantly pressing calculators.
On the other side, several orcs held their round bellies, slumped on chairs and burped, contentedly.
In front of them are large basins.
Lin Linfan walked to the front of the conference room with a strange expression, and awkwardly said to the left and right sides: "Ahem... um, are you all ready?"
Lin Fan is the orc chief and the commander-in-chief of Daxia. In order to avoid suspicion, he will not personally participate in this negotiation.
But as a key figure who single-handedly promoted cooperation and exchanges between the orcs and humans, he should also be expected to preside over this consultation meeting between humans and orcs on future cooperation.
"The analysis has been completed." Shang Weitian smiled and pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses.
Cardin raised his head from behind the basin, with a potato shred hanging from his nose, and said with satisfaction: "I'm full."
Lin Fan: "..."
Cardin also seemed to feel a little embarrassed, and immediately said: "Well, give us five minutes, let's communicate internally first."
"Yeah." Lin Fan nodded.
Cardin and several orcs with mouths full of oil and smooth eating gathered together and frowned at each other.
Cardin whispered: "We are about to negotiate with humans, and everyone must have a unified attitude."
"Be careful. I heard that humans are very smart."
"But I have confidence in us! We orcs are also very smart!"
"We must let humans provide us with benefits!"
Several other orcs nodded: "Yes!"
Cardin frowned and thought seriously, his eyes exuding wisdom: "So, we have to figure out what is the most valuable thing about human beings! What is the most worthy of our exchange!"
"Let me start first." Cardin licked the grease on the corner of his mouth and said seriously: "That dish is called tomatoes and scrambled eggs."
Another orc immediately added: "Roast chicken would be nice too!"
Other orcs also looked back and said: "Fried chicken nuggets are also good!"
"Also, the seasonings in those dishes taste like nothing I have ever tasted before!"
"Well. These foods are used to entertain us, so they must be extremely precious to humans." Cardin nodded seriously: "So, next, we have to get a handle on how humans cook food."
"And that thing called an air conditioner!" An orc suddenly pointed to the air conditioner in the room: "When I was reading the information, I noticed that thing for a long time. It should be a pet tamed by humans. It can breathe out cold air and hot air!"
"With it, we can no longer be afraid of severe cold and heat!"
"In the next negotiations, we will also include this kind of thing in the transaction object!"
"Yes, there are also Xiao Yan's Fenjue and Strange Fire! I've seen these in the information, they are very powerful!"
The orcs' eyes exuded the light of wisdom. They discussed carefully for five minutes and made a list of things they wanted to fight for.
immediately.
"Okay." Cardin and the orcs looked at Shang Weitian with confident eyes: "We are ready to negotiate."
"Humans, you have to be careful."
"Don't underestimate the wisdom of us orcs, otherwise you will suffer big losses."
Shang Weitian suddenly looked serious, as if he had met a formidable enemy, and nodded seriously: "Okay."
"Now, the negotiations begin."
Lin Fan presided over the meeting: "Shang Weitian, please talk about Daxia's demands first."
Shang Weitian held the information and talked eloquently: "First of all, I have a brief understanding of your world. Your world is relatively primitive."
"However, it is also very fertile, but it has not been developed reasonably."
"There are many minerals that have not been developed. I, Daxia, can help you develop them. Of course, the ownership of part of the minerals will belong to Daxia."
"Do you have any opinion on this?"
Shang Weitian looked at Cardin.
"Wait!" Cardin frowned: "What is a mineral?"
Shang Weitian: "..."
"It's... useful stones, as well as underground resources such as oil." Shang Weitian tried his best to explain: "The giant ax in your hand should be made of iron ore, which is a kind of mineral."
"Oh? You're talking about that kind of stone..." Cardin laughed and said, "Those kind of stones are all over the floor, and they're not valuable. You can just take them away."
With the technological level of the orcs, they have no idea what rich minerals mean!
The orc think-tanks on the side nodded: "Haha, those useless stones are actually regarded as treasures by humans. Humans have really no vision!"
"I thought humans wanted the jam we saved!"
Shang Weitian: "..."
Shang Weitian suddenly laughed: "Okay, then it's settled, I, Daxia, will take those useless stones from you..."
And at this moment.
"Shang Weitian," Lin Fan said helplessly: "This is our comrade who faces the gods together. Don't mess around. That's almost it."
Shang Weitian sighed helplessly: "Okay, then... I, Daxia, will help you develop that kind of stone and bring it back to the northwest production area for smelting, but Daxia will produce 40% of the output."
"In addition, Daxia will help you build roads and do some infrastructure construction in return. Your minerals will be invested in the construction of your world."
"Is there a problem?"
"No problem!" Cardin agreed directly without hesitation. After all, it was just a useless stone.
Immediately, Cardin said: "But you humans must also provide us with appropriate resources."
Shang Weitian nodded seriously: "Okay."
He has already made various expectations. After all, mineral resources are so precious, and humans will have to pay a huge price if they want to get them!
I just ask these orcs not to open their mouths like a lion.
Kadan said seriously: "I want the food just now, 10,000 tons!"
Shang Weitian was stunned: "What!?"
"Is it too much?" The orc think tank on the side quickly added: "Eight thousand tons is also acceptable! But I need you to provide the recipes for the food and the seasonings!"
After all, the food is so delicious that there aren’t many humans around!
However... although eight thousand tons is a lot, it is not even enough to consume the 50 million soldiers of the Great Steel Wall in one day. Now in Daxia, just in the northwest production area, there are 55 million Shura troops and 35 million Shura troops.
Millions of citizens of the Universe are opening up wasteland for production, and the grain output of the entire northwest production area has reached astronomical figures!
For a moment, Shang Weitian was a little confused.
That rich mineral resource only requires 8,000 tons of food, as well as a recipe book and seasonings?
Shang Weitian has been negotiating with people for so many years and has never encountered such a strange negotiation.
No matter how tough the opponent is, Shang Weitian has a way to control the situation, but at this moment, the Daxia Business Manager really doesn't know what to do, and the opponent doesn't play according to the routine at all.
Looking at the orc in front of him, he felt that he had encountered a life beyond his recognition...
