In the Zixia Palace of the Xuanzhen Sect, the headmaster Hongxuanzi read the telegram in his hand and chuckled to Hongyunzi next to him. There was an indescribable weirdness in his voice: "Junior brother, you have gained a good disciple. Tomorrow the ocean will
The group is about to sign a treaty with the Zhenwu Cult on behalf of the entire Fertile Continent, as well as the Atlantic Group.
Treaty, treaty again!
Treaties one after another have contributed to today's Dayang Group, and also contributed to today's Zhang Hao.
By the way, now the intelligence system of Yeyue Tower, which is located in the Kingdom of Qixia, is completely named ‘Zhang’, haha!”
Hearing this, Hong Yunzi shook his head bitterly, "Brother, please don't laugh at me, Zhang Hao... Hey, in fact, Zhang Hao really didn't use our Xuanzhen Sect that much, but we used him a lot.
The Xuanzhen Sect owes him everything from the very beginning of the Soul Burning Technique.
In the past three years, Zhang Hao has had less and less contact with us. Now, except for me or Mingxu, when everyone else comes over, Dayang Group usually arranges some kind of secretary to receive them.
The relationship between us and Dayang Group is becoming more and more unfamiliar. And if the current situation continues, we may gradually become hostile. Recently, our demands on Dayang Group have been increasing."
After hearing this, Hongxuanzi snorted coldly: "You don't have to speak for Zhang Hao and Dayang Group. Once he is a teacher, he will always be a father. How can he be exempted if he doesn't want to!"
Hong Yunzi frowned, "Brother, the leader, the Atlantic Group, which is responsible for external exploration, also has our shares. Zhang Hao did not ignore our interests. Among the Atlantic Group, the Ocean Group only accounts for 11% in total.
shares.”
Hong Xuanzi shook his head: "What do you know? That was something that Dayang Group couldn't afford to be alone and had to branch out. But in fact, the real interests, the real control over Atlantic Group, are still in the hands of Dayang Group.
We said we were involved in the Atlantic Group, but we were actually taken advantage of by Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao is a typical example of a fox pretending to be a tiger and a tiger showing power!"
Hong Yunzi frowned and shook his head slightly, but said nothing.
Hong Xiazi next to him sighed, "Brother Headmaster, if you feel bad about it, we will withdraw from the Atlantic Group. I'm sure Zhang Hao won't stop us."
Hongxuanzi stopped talking for a while.
Hong Zhenzi from the Law Enforcement Hall spoke up, "Brother Headmaster, our worries now are not with Zhang Hao and Dayang Group, but with others!
As the period of transformation increases, we are losing the status that the Holy Land deserves.
The Kingdom of Shaoze is just the beginning, the Kingdom of Canglan is also ready to move; the Kingdom of Qixia has also begun to show some signs recently.
During this period of communication with the Qixia Kingdom, Liu Xinyu did not show up. It was always the prime minister or some minister who came forward, euphemistically saying: There are specialties in the arts!
And according to our latest investigation report, we can know that the rise of the Shaoze Kingdom is all traced to the Qixia Kingdom.
As of now, the two countries still have close exchanges. There are more than 60 trains running between the two countries every day, with an average of one train every 24 minutes.
The average number of trains exchanged between Qixia Kingdom and the Kingdom of Shaoze is 150 every day, and the number of trains exchanged with the Kingdom of Shaoze is as high as 60!
Brother Master, we are losing the deterrence that the Holy Land should have. If this matter is not dealt with, the consequences will be disastrous!"
"How to solve it..." Hong Yuanzi next to him sighed. This master from the Kingdom of Taihua sighed a little at this time.
In the past few years, Hong Yuanzi has witnessed with his own eyes the decline of the Kingdom of Taihua!
Yes, the Country of Qixia and the Dayang Group are sanctioning the Country of Qingyun, and the Country of Taihua is also involved in the sanctions. However, the Country of Taihua is a landlocked country after all. In the past three years, the Country of Taihua has developed a lot.
Yes, it’s just that... development is too slow!
In this era of rapid progress, slow progress means retreat!
To the south of the Kingdom of Taihua is the Kingdom of Canglan, to the east is the Kingdom of Shaoze, to the west is the Kingdom of Qixia, and to the north is the Kingdom of Qingyun, which is sanctioned and has no way out. The current Kingdom of Taihua feels like it is being imprisoned in
A trapped beast in a cage, a country without an outlet to the sea has had a very difficult time developing in these years.
From here we can also see the wise decision of Nangong Zhi of the Shaoze Kingdom, who brazenly attacked the Langya Kingdom and gained 800 kilometers of coastline!
But now, the Xuanzhen Sect is also facing the same dilemma. Because the current port of the Xuanzhen Sect, Surabaya Port, is in danger of being lost. The Kingdom of Shaoze and the Xuanzhen Sect are completely at odds, and the current safety of the Sishui Port actually depends on it.
The country of Canglan; but the country of Canglan is not very obedient now!
After everyone discussed it for a long time, Hongxuanzi, the leader of the Xuanzhen Sect, finally could only sigh. He could only put aside the affairs of Dayang Group and Zhang Hao for the time being. The top priority was the country of Shaoze and the grassroots.
The country of Canglan.
…………
When the Xuanzhen Sect was discussing, other countries, holy places, etc. were also discussing. But no matter how others discussed, they could not stop Zhang Hao from negotiating with the great elder of the Zhenwu Sect.
Although the 'Atlantic Group' led by Zhang Hao is fully responsible for the exploration of the outer seas, etc., the exploration of the outer seas is exploration, and everyone sticks together to keep warm, but when it comes to the later transactions, everyone goes their separate ways.
Dayang Group can negotiate with the Great Elder, and others can, and Zhang Hao will not stop it. However, the most important thing in ocean trade is to have goods in hand, or to have purchase channels, otherwise you will have nothing to trade with.
And this is the advantage of Dayang Group.
In addition, Zhang Hao had previously understood the general situation of Zhulong Continent, so as soon as the negotiation began, Zhang Hao put forward the requirements of Dayang Group:
First of all, more than 10 trading ports are fully open to the Ocean Group, including the Izumo Port in the East, as well as several important ports in the interior. Because the Zhulong Island is similar to an island cluster, it has a large internal population and dense ports. Here is
Dayang Group must fight for it.
Secondly, Zhang Hao's reason for requesting the complete cancellation of all tariffs is very good. The cost of transporting us across 150,000 miles is already very high. It would be good if we didn't let you subsidize it, but it would be unjustifiable to impose additional taxes.
Thirdly, it is necessary to ensure the legitimate interests of Dayang Group and the personal safety of personnel; Dayang Group will lease a part of the land in Zhulong Continent and establish a concession.
The interior of the concession belongs entirely to Dayang Group, and outsiders are not allowed to enter; Dayang Group will also set up security personnel here.
If there is a conflict between Dayang Group and people from Zhulong Continent, etc., it needs to be handled with the company of Dayang Group and cannot be handled privately.
And if someone in the Dayang Group dies unexpectedly, the Dayang Group will make every effort to investigate to the end. If the fault does not lie with the Dayang Group, there will be no mercy!
Fourth, in resource transactions, no thresholds shall be set up. As long as it is traded normally on the market, it shall not be 'banned', and it shall not affect Dayang Group's legal business actions.
Zhang Hao proposed these four main negotiation directions.
The great elder frowned slightly. He thought for a while and then stated his conditions:
First, exchange prisoners; currently, Zhulong Continent has more than 1,500 prisoners, and Atlantic Group also has more than 3,500 prisoners; so we want to exchange them directly.
Second, compensate and apologize! In the previous war, there were heavy casualties on the Zhulong Continent, and the fairy mountain belonging to the Zhulong Continent was also destroyed. This matter must be pursued. If this matter cannot be resolved, I am afraid it will be detrimental to
The next exchange between us.
And everything found in the fairy mountain must be returned.
Third, Dayang Group's warships, industrial technology, etc. need to be provided to Zhenwu Sect at low prices; at the same time, Beidou Academy also wants to cultivate talents for Zhenwu Sect.
Zhang Hao read these conditions and smiled, his smile full of ridicule. This great elder may be a bit brave, but this negotiation... feels a bit of a joke.
Zhang Hao pointed to the terms and asked the great elder: "Elder Wu Zhiwu, do you have any basis for the conditions you proposed?"
The Great Elder was not sure what Zhang Hao meant, so he immediately asked: "Then what is the basis for your conditions?"
Zhang Hao said calmly: "The basis... is our strength! We can immediately mobilize five hundred warships and land on the Candle Dragon Continent in the ten thousand transformation stage! Is this basis enough?"
The great elder's complexion instantly turned livid, and even the faces of several people from the Zhulong Continent around him also changed. It turns out that this is the so-called 'evidence'!
Negotiation is a different kind of war! Without military power, what can you use to negotiate? Is it empty talk?
The great elder suppressed the anger of those around him, took a deep breath himself, and said slowly: "So this is Mr. Zhang's basis. This old man has opened his eyes."
Zhang Hao lay down in the chair and said calmly: "Then what does the Great Elder think we should do to negotiate?"
The great elder hesitated for a while, his face changed for a long time, and he had to say with a gloomy face: "No matter what kind of negotiation, you must be reasonable. Negotiations that are unreasonable will not last long after all!"
"How long is long?" Zhang Hao said with a faint smile, "Ten years? Or a hundred years? I have seen many unreasonable countries, such as the country of Shaoze.
They found any reason to attack the Langya Kingdom in the south, just for the coastline of the Langya Kingdom.
Does the Great Elder know what is going on in Langya Country now?"
After a short pause, Zhang Hao said: "Now, the royal family of the Langya Kingdom has been exiled, and no one cares about them. The Langya Kingdom has been divided and destroyed!"
"Let's talk about our country of Qixia. We were reasonable at first, but the countries around us tried to destroy us many times. All the envoys we sent were detained.
How did we solve the problem in the end? Did we try to reason? No, we stopped talking nonsense and developed industry and commerce, and then directly sent troops to destroy all the surrounding countries.
Now the Kingdom of Qixia has annexed the area of four and a half countries and has become one of the most powerful countries in the Fertile Continent."
The Great Elder began to sweat on his face. He had little knowledge of the Fertile Continent and the Ocean Group, which made him completely passive. Moreover, Zhang Hao's strength made it difficult for him to resist.
Reason? No, let's talk about fists!
Zhang Hao suddenly leaned forward, lying on the table, and said to the Great Elder word by word: "Great Elder, today's Fertile Continent, as well as the entire Kuodixiang world, are all strengthened to become respected, regardless of whether they are practitioners.
, or a country, or a holy place!
You can be angry, you can even say dejected, but you have to accept reality!
You and I are strangers. The Dayang Group and the Zhenwu Sect are also strangers. There can be no morality or friendship between us, at least for the time being.
The only thing we can discuss now is:
Benefit!
And if you want to obtain benefits, you need strong power.
If a tiger wants to eat a sheep, it doesn't care what the sheep thinks.
What does the great elder think?"
The great elder's face was already a little pale, and a little sweat dropped from his chin. He had never felt such pressure.
Zhang Hao is the representative of the winner at this time, so Zhang Hao is very relaxed.
The Great Elder is the representative of the loser at this time. He is in a defensive posture. He has to consider the future of the Zhulong Continent and the Zhenwu Sect, and also protect the current interests.
This kind of confrontation at the negotiation table made it difficult for the great elder to resist.
Well, now the Great Elder suddenly had an idea, could he crush Zhang Hao to death? This boy seemed to be only as capable as the mid-stage Nascent Soul... But looking at the people around Zhang Hao, the Great Elder gave up this idea.
Zhang Hao saw the great elder's eyes flickering and lay down in the chair again: "I think the great elder seems to be uncomfortable. How about we stop here today?"
The great elder hesitated for a moment, took a deep breath to suppress the anger and other emotions in his heart, "Okay, that's it for today. Let's talk about it tomorrow."
