While the small world was bustling with construction and the talisman masters were visiting, studying, and training, the depths of the Qinling Mountains were not idle either.
First of all, the direction of cooperation between Ning'an and Zhongshan has been roughly determined, but the negotiation teams of both parties are still working on the details of the negotiations bit by bit.
There was a quarrel every day and a big commotion every three days. The negotiation area was extremely lively. Everyone wanted to stab the other to death, gnaw the bones and swallow the flesh, then resurrect and kill again, gnaw the bones and swallow the flesh.
!
No one is kind and no one is relaxed, because every detail may represent an extremely huge wealth.
But for some reason, the news of the cooperation between Zhongshan and Ning'an leaked out, and then Yuan Shao and Kong Rong gathered around like cats smelling a fishy smell.
Not only them, two big fish also jumped out from the San people, Zhu Guibao, the third prince in front of Hulao Pass, and Pei Fang, the fifth prince.
Both of them are big fish, and both are living people. After the separation in Luoyang, the two of them did not carry anything with them. They collected the population, trained the army, and expanded the living space. The soft and hard strength of the territory was also extremely excellent.
The four of them got involved after hearing the news, and Kong Rong gave up. Kong Rong came up with a lot of super-high-quality elixirs as capital to join.
The quality and quantity of the large number of elixirs even attracted Fang Fan's attention, so even though they were just resources, they reluctantly allowed him to join.
But the other three families were gone, so they just stayed here shamelessly and refused to leave, even if they were driven away.
He is here with a stern face, he is still a prince after all, and Fang Fan is not too embarrassed to break his face.
There was no other way, so I tried all kinds of tactics to persuade him to leave the tea, send off the meal, etc., but he just pretended that he didn't understand, pretended to be confused, and refused to leave.
Under the banner of an envoy, Fang Fan couldn't possibly use military force to deal with him. That would be really rude.
But it is indeed no joke. If a certain degree of cooperation is really achieved this time, the strength of the participating territories will definitely take off qualitatively.
If I miss this critical moment because I leave, I'm afraid I will regret it for the rest of my life, so I won't leave today even if I am shameless.
So Fang Fan and Guan Yu put their minds together and after some thought, they brought them all in to form a small technical cooperation alliance.
Ning'an and Zhongshan both have core technologies and have become the absolute core.
Kong Rong, Yuan Shao, Zhu Guibao, and Pei Fang are cooperative members and are responsible for providing resources and becoming resource suppliers, in order to obtain a certain amount of product purchases at preferential prices.
This alliance is very loose. It only involves business cooperation and does not involve any military operations. It is just pure economic cooperation.
Moreover, once new technologies are discovered and professions with core competitiveness such as Talisman Master and Alchemist appear, they can be directly incorporated into the alliance with the consent of the core members and become the next core member.
This is the general structure. As for more detailed regulations, the respective negotiation teams will need to conduct detailed consultations.
But it’s not too complicated. To put it simply, the four companies that don’t master the core technology don’t have any say.
We have the final say. If you don't listen, then I'm sorry and you can leave.
It's a pity that no one allowed Fang Fan to seize this excuse and drive them away, but it was a pity for Fang Fan.
Finally, after a month, the long negotiations finally came to an end.
After a month of hard negotiations day and night, six companies, mainly two, finally reached a consensus and completed the formulation of some major regulations.
Relying on this framework, technical cooperation can be initially implemented, and the remaining details can only be added slowly as they are implemented.
Otherwise, just talking on paper will not help in another year.
On this day, Liu Bei came to Taibai Peak in person to sign a cooperation contract with Fang Fan.
In addition to Kong Rong, who came personally, the other three families had also invited their respective lords' seals or handwritten letters within a month to complete the signing ceremony together at Taibai Peak and officially cooperate.
“A pleasure to work with.”
“A pleasure to work with.”
Liu Bei looked at Fang Fan's outstretched hand, and without hesitation reached out to meet Fang Fan, shaking hands with Fang Fan in a relatively unfamiliar manner.
In front of them, a jade board as big as a desk was engraved with square regular script, and there were several large seals stamped on the corner of the jade board, exuding the atmosphere of their respective territories.
The one at the top is not the lord's seal, but the contract seal from Fang Fan to ensure the notarization of the contract.
This huge jade slab was their contract, and it was provided by Liu Bei. It was a generous move.
Next, everyone rubbed the jade plate with silk cloth and backed up the contract. Finally, Fang Fan kept the jade plate.
"King of Ning'an, now that the contract has been reached, it's time for us to leave."
Fang Fan nodded after hearing this.
"clear."
After Liu Bei finished speaking, he looked at Fang Fan, thought for a while and continued.
"Perhaps I shouldn't say it, we have all seen the efforts of the Human King during this period.
But if you don't have enough cultivation, you really can't break the space, so you should ask the Human King to focus on more important things.
And in fact, in a sense, it is not a bad thing for those people to stay in the small world.
There are many resources and abundant spiritual power inside, and you may be able to achieve higher achievements than in the outside world."
Fang Fan smiled and waved his hand when he heard this.
"As far as human affairs are concerned, they are my people and they call me Lord.
Now they can't just ignore something because it's impossible or because it's for their own good.
Of course, I won't spend all my time here. I will choose to come back when I am stronger.
Find their traces, bring them back from another world, and then give them the choice to come back or stay there.
As for now... I still have some chores to deal with in the Qinling Mountains, and I will leave naturally after they are completed."
"As long as the King of Ning'an wants to understand, then be prepared to retire first."
"Happy journey, Mr. Xuande."
Liu Bei took Zhang Fei and Guan Yu and turned to leave. At this time, Kong Rong, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and others also came to say goodbye.
The reasons are all the same, they all want to leave Qinling.
"Have a nice trip, everyone."
Fang Fan bowed slightly and said, waving his hand, Tang Jiajun went out to see him off, and Fang Fan returned to the camp.
In the camp, Xu Shu was waiting.
"Lord."
"Well, how's it going?"
"Everything goes well. We don't need to hide anything now. We directly invest a large number of manpower in mining. The soul iron mine itself is a small and medium-sized mine and will be mined out by us soon."
"Well, this is both a good thing and a bad thing. Mining all the soul iron as soon as possible will bring peace and prosperity.
In addition, we cannot let go of the search for Xinhun Iron Mine, we must hurry up."
