"Hmph!" Zhang Hao looked at the great elder's back and snorted. This old guy just had murderous intent, and Zhang Hao could still feel it.
Sure enough, there can be no friendship between us!
After the great elder and his party left, Zhang Hao said to the people around him: "Go back and summarize today's events and prepare tomorrow's information.
Next, I will select a person in charge from among you who can lead the negotiations, as well as a number of deputies.
Now that the situation is becoming more and more turbulent, there will be no shortage of negotiations in the future."
After Zhang Hao finished speaking, he left, but the eyes of those who stayed behind shone brightly! Among these people, the oldest was only thirty years old. They were all elites selected by Zhang Hao from within the Zhang family and Dayang Group.
There are even some fifteen or sixteen years old among them. These are recent graduates of Beidou Academy, and they are all elites.
The negotiations between Dayang Group and the Zhenwu Sect attracted a lot of attention. As soon as Zhang Hao returned to the headquarters, he received a lot of telegrams. Some were from Liu Xinyu, some were from the Red Lotus Sect, and the rest were from the major shareholders of the Atlantic Group.
A representative sent an inquiry.
Zhang Hao looked at all the telegrams and almost all had the same meaning:
Take me to fly!
Zhang Hao glanced at the information and asked someone to reply: The Atlantic Group is only responsible for exploration, and the routes and profits are shared by everyone. As for the conditions for negotiation, etc., the Ocean Group will also share it with all friends. Just one thing, considering that everyone
It has its own characteristics, so specific trade, etc., should be operated independently.
Zhang Hao's reply made everyone very satisfied. When negotiating, we work together, and when we do specific work, we each do our own thing without interfering with each other. This is good.
But for the next day’s negotiations, everyone said, can we send representatives?
Zhang Hao immediately said: Welcome!
What this negotiation has to face is the entire Zhulong Continent, and behind it is the greed of the entire Earth Elephant World. It is impossible for Dayang Group to be alone. In this case, Zhang Hao simply let go.
Anyway, regardless of whether it is a separate transaction or cooperation, Ocean Group does not suffer losses. It holds 11% of the shares of Atlantic Group, and at most it makes less money.
Moreover, if everyone participates together, it can also put tremendous pressure on Zhulong Continent, which is conducive to obtaining better conditions!
Moreover, the current situation in the Earth-like world is turbulent. What Ocean Group should pay more attention to is not the Zhulong Continent for the time being, but... the Mingjiao! It is also the thousands of gods who are about to return.
The emergence of a large number of divine transformation stages has already broken the balance of resources, and now there is just one fuse to detonate this uneasy factor.
In the past, there was still the Fairy Mountain exploration that dragged everyone down, but now I'm afraid the situation is no longer possible. And the most important thing is that the Mingjiao is restless and is obviously planning this!
Zhang Hao has been worried about these things recently.
Early the next morning, the negotiations started again. But this time, there were more than fifty new spectators sitting behind Dayang Group's negotiating team. They were able to come, representatives of the other parties.
Facing the confused elder in front of him, Zhang Hao just said calmly: "These are representatives of the various shareholders of Atlantic Group, and they are also qualified to participate in this negotiation.
The outcome of the negotiations with Dayang Group will directly affect future negotiations with them.
Also, the issue of prisoners raised by the Great Elder yesterday also needs to be discussed by everyone."
The great elder looked at these people with a serious look on his face, but in the end he could only sigh and close his eyes for a moment. Then his eyes suddenly opened and a burst of bright light burst out.
At this moment, the "aging" aura of the great elder disappeared instantly, and what appeared in front of Zhang Hao and others was a warrior who was about to go to the battlefield.
But seeing the great elder looking directly at Zhang Hao, he said in a sonorous and powerful tone: "Mr. Zhang, I thought about it last night and found that the conditions you proposed are too unreasonable. I think:
First, ports can usually be opened, but there is no need to open them deliberately. As long as it is a normal port, you can dock. There is no need to open any special ports, that would be too troublesome.
Second, it is not realistic to cancel tariffs. Because the relationship between our Zhenwu Sect and the countries under our rule is similar to your Holy Land, and more relaxed, we have no right to ask countries to give up taxes, etc.
Third, regarding the personal safety of the Ocean Group, and even the Atlantic Group, we will try our best and notify all countries. But it is indeed difficult to fully protect it. In addition, if one of your people dies or makes a mistake, we will
It should be handled fairly and equitably without the intervention of Dayang Group and others.
Fourth, resource transactions, etc., do not need to be negotiated. Because we never impose strict regulations in this regard, and the situations of each country are different, so it is difficult to define such terms."
Zhang Hao smiled. This great elder actually vetoed all the four items he proposed yesterday! But it doesn't matter, Zhang Hao didn't expect to succeed at the first try. Zhang Hao was very wary of this great elder!
After the Great Elder finished speaking, Zhang Hao said leisurely: "After having said so much, the Great Elder has only one meaning, that is, Zhenwu Sect is just a decoration, and negotiating with you is a waste of time!"
As soon as Zhang Hao said these words, the elder's expression suddenly changed. I've been preparing all night long, and you actually gave me such a thing!
But it’s true if you think about it carefully! Yes, you can’t decide anything, so why should I talk to you?
The great elder was stunned.
The 'audience' behind Zhang Hao was also stunned. Everyone was stunned for a while, and then everyone's eyes became rich. Some people admired Zhang Hao's domineering response, but others were wary of Zhang Hao:
Because today, Zhang Hao is more domineering than ever before!
In the past, Zhang Hao was always very 'cautious', careful in what he said and in what he did. But at this moment, Zhang Hao showed an indescribable domineering attitude!
That is a kind of domineering attitude that is no longer afraid of anything.
Thinking of Dayang Group's recent strong response to Mingjiao, some people looked at Zhang Hao's figure and became wary.
After ten years of sharpening a sword, Dayang Group is about to show its sword! Is this unprecedented 'super group' finally going to show its fangs? At this time, Zhang Hao has completely lost the 'politeness' of the past, and some are 'tit-for-tat, not the slightest bit'.
Don't let'!
After a while, the elder looked at Zhang Hao and had to give in. The old man laughed and said, "Mr. Zhang is joking. Of course I can do it. It's just too troublesome."
Zhang Hao smiled faintly: "That's good. But since there are difficulties, we won't force others to make things difficult for us. How about we compete based on our strengths? It's like... a fairy mountain!"
The great elder gritted his teeth, and he suddenly realized: without strong power, he was not qualified to negotiate at all!
Next to him, a young expert from the Zhulong Continent suddenly couldn't bear it any longer and shouted in a hurry in the words of the Zhulong Continent: "Don't bully others too much!"
Zhang Hao didn't understand, but naturally someone was translating next to him. Zhao Ke was sitting next to him. After hearing the words, Zhao Ke conveyed the other party's meaning to Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao smiled, "Too much to deceive others? No! I'm just telling a fact. Hey, I just told the truth, but it's too much to deceive others!"
The great elder turned his head and calmed everyone in a low voice for a while, then turned to look at Zhang Hao, his eyes were very complicated. After a while, the great elder had to sigh again, "Mr. Zhang, you have to be merciful and merciful. Both of us.
The distance is far, so if you want to do business in Zhulong Continent, you will always need some care from the local people."
This is the hidden threat. When it comes to our place, we don’t have the final say.
However, Zhang Hao shook his head slightly: "I also heard that if you kill a snake, you will be harmed by it! We have to trade across 150,000 miles, which is a dangerous thing. If the Zhulong Continent develops in the future, will it...
...and the swords are facing each other?
I think this possibility is as high as 100%!
What does the great elder think?"
The Great Elder said slowly: "As long as the transaction complies with the law, Dayang Group will always be our friend."
"Haha..." Zhang Hao smiled and shook his head, "I don't know the situation in your country, Great Elder. But here, there are such rules between our countries. There is no permanent friendship between countries!
Yes, there are only permanent benefits!
Therefore, we do not believe in spoken words, only... the treaty written in black and white!
The purpose of this negotiation is to fix the rules of communication between us in the form of a treaty. Then, we will act according to the rules. If there is any violation by both parties in the future, it will be implemented in accordance with the treaty.
I can't think of a better way other than this.
What does the great elder think?"
The Great Elder's pupils shrank, and he looked beyond Zhang Hao to the many 'audiences' behind Zhang Hao. Only to find that these spectators were also oppressing him with aggressive looks!
This time, Zhulong Continent is at an absolute disadvantage. Ever since the exploration and collision of Fairy Mountain three and a half years ago, Zhulong Continent has been defeated continuously. In the end, Fairy Mountain collapsed, and none of them came forward, or in other words, did not have the ability or courage to come forward.
.
He was killed for more than six hundred times before and after his transformation into gods, which almost shook the foundation of the Zhenwu Sect, and even failed to suppress the increasingly rampant Canglong Sect! This is one of the reasons why the Great Elder decided to come to negotiate.
At this time, neither Zhang Hao nor the Great Elder spoke, and they looked at each other for a long time.
After a while, the Great Elder gritted his teeth and said again: "What Mr. Zhang said makes sense. However, if both parties only talk about interests, it will inevitably lead to disastrous consequences. Although there are only permanent interests between your countries, at least there are
A certain foundation of friendship. All countries move around each other. Even if the country falls out, there will always be exchanges among the people.
Mr. Zhang shouldn’t deny this.”
Zhang Hao nodded. Between countries, there is a collision of interests; but among the people, there is true love between people. The country and the country are political relations; and politics itself is the product of interests. But people-to-people exchanges,
But it is not a pure interest relationship, but also a human relationship.
I heard the great elder continue to say: "Mr. Zhang, we have never communicated in the past. Would it be biased to completely discuss interests?"
Zhang Hao smiled, you actually want to break through in this direction? Impossible! Zhang Hao shook his head: "Have you ever heard of such words, the great elder, brothers will settle accounts!
Of course, it seems a bit one-sided to simply talk about interests. But how does fairness reflect it? To put it bluntly, it is still interests!
The hustle and bustle in the world is all for benefit, and the hustle and bustle in the world is all for benefit!
Profit is the yardstick of everything.
Why do we have to travel 150,000 miles to go to you? Could it be that the Great Elder feels that we are going for your so-called friendship?
We do not exclude friendship! That requires communication and cultivation between us in the future! But in the current environment, all we can discuss is interests!
And I heard that there is a Canglong Sect over there. In fact, cooperating with us is a kind of friendship in itself; because we will never cooperate with the Canglong Sect again!"
Zhang Hao's words were not concealed, and he was so naked and bloody that the great elder was shocked. Even the 'audience' behind Zhang Hao was shocked!
At this time, many people looked at Zhang Hao's back, their eyes flashed with panic, contemplation, etc.: Zhang Hao today has a sharp aura all over his body, and everyone seems to have seen a tiger that suddenly wakes up, and this tiger is ready
Hunted!
The recent series of actions of Dayang Group seem to indicate that Dayang Group is becoming more and more disturbing!
At this time, the great elder of Zhenwu Sect was stunned for a long time, and finally... lowered his head.
In the subsequent negotiations, although the Great Elder continued to argue based on reason, it was obviously not as good as arguing based on strength.
This time, Zhang Hao's negotiation was so forceful that he didn't give the other party any room to refute.
The Zhulong Continent will open 10 trading ports in the Eastern Cang Continent and the Southern Yan Continent; because the Western Wing Continent is under the control of the Canglong Sect.
In addition, a series of terms including the elimination of tariffs, concessions, legal negotiations, free trade, etc. were finalized one by one.
The Great Elder looked ugly but could do nothing. And it was also because Zhang Hao’s terms were not too ‘excessive’.
Zhang Hao is also very clear that things have to be done step by step, and it is impossible to eat a fat man in one bite. The treaty cannot be achieved in one step. If it has to be done step by step, I don’t believe that Zhulongzhizhou will not resist or cause trouble; then there will be excuses
Further strengthen the treaty.
It only took three days for the first half of the "Xuanwushan Treaty" to be finalized.
The reason why the three words "Xuanwu Mountain" are used is also to commemorate that fairy mountain. It is from Xuanwu Mountain that everyone started to "know".
And the reason why it is the first half is because there is also a second half. The second half is the appeal of the Candle Dragon Continent.
The Grand Elder proposed four major conditions: exchange of prisoners, compensation and apology, academic exchanges between the two sides and sending overseas students, commercial exchanges and maritime trade.
The negotiations began on the fourth day, but Zhang Hao did not show up.
The person in charge of the negotiations at Dayang Group turned out to be a 16-year-old boy named Zhang Jialin. This boy was known to the elders. He had been following Zhang Hao during the negotiations in the past few days. He seemed to be a secretary or something. I didn’t expect that he would personally preside over it today.
