Faced with the great elder's dissatisfaction, Zhang Jialin simply explained: "Mr. Zhang has something to do today. I will report the results of the negotiation to Mr. Zhang.
I can decide general matters on the spot. As long as you sign, even if we suffer a loss, we will implement it in accordance with the contract. Please rest assured.
If there is anything important, I will ask Mr. Zhang for instructions.
So, let's get started.
Let me introduce you first. This is Taoist Master Guanyun of the Xiaoyao Sect. The battleship you kidnapped and the more than 1,500 captives left now belong to the Xiaoyao Sect. Therefore, when it comes to trading prisoners, you must first
Negotiate with the Xiaoyao faction.
As for the situation of the prisoners on our side, we will negotiate internally with the Xiaoyao faction."
The great elder of the Zhenwu Sect turned his eyes to Taoist Guanyun. Taoist Guanyun's face was calm, but there seemed to be a sharp light flashing in his eyes.
This time, the Dayang Group's handling of the issue of prisoners made the Xiaoyao faction grateful, but it was also difficult.
I am grateful because the Dayang Group did not take matters into its own hands, but left the matter of the prisoners entirely to the Xiaoyao Sect. You, the Xiaoyao Sect, can talk about whatever you want without having to worry too much about us.
But the tricky part is that these prisoners of Zhulong Continent are the 'wealth' shared by everyone, and are the joint efforts of thousands of gods in the past. It is no problem for the Xiaoyao Sect to redeem their own people, and everyone has no objection;
But you have to take care of everyone’s interests!
In fact, through Zhang Hao's previous negotiations, everyone understood that the remaining 3,500 prisoners of Zhulong Continent are a good bargaining chip!
According to what was learned during the interrogation, these more than 3,500 Nascent Soul-level masters from the Zhulong Continent are all real elites and seeds. After layers of assessment and selection, they are going to the Fairy Mountain for 'baptism'! It can be said that these people
It is the future of the entire Zhulong Continent.
In comparison, of the more than 1,800 people captured by the Xiaoyao Faction (and there are still more than 1,500 left), few can be considered elites, and most of them are just ordinary crew members.
The two sides are completely unequal.
But things are by no means that simple. If it were simple, why didn’t Zhang Hao negotiate by himself?
There are too many factors involved in this negotiation.
These captives of Zhulong Continent are all elites. After returning to Zhulong Continent, a large number of them will definitely grow up. If Taoist Guanyun asks a harsh price now, the future will surely be exciting! But if the asking price is not enough, Atlantic Group will
There will be internal opinions on the Xiaoyao sect.
And there is no balance that can be grasped at all!
The interests of the Atlantic Group must far exceed the expectations of Zhulongzhizhou!
Unknowingly, the Xiaoyao faction became a leader; but there was no way, who allowed their battleship to be captured, who allowed their people to be captured! If you didn't work hard at the time, you will regret it now.
Taoist Guanyun is sitting opposite the great elder. In today's first negotiation, he, Taoist Guanyun, is the protagonist.
The great elder of the Zhenwu Sect looked at each other with a smile. After these few days of observation, the great elder had basically understood the general situation of this 'Atlantic Group'.
The composition of the Atlantic Group is very complex, and this time the captives belong to the 'Xianshan Exploration Group'. However, many of the shareholders of the Xianshan Exploration Group and the Atlantic Group are overlapping, but the shares are different.
For example, Ocean Group occupies 30% of the shares of Xianshan Exploration Group, but Ocean Group’s shares in Atlantic Group are only 11%!
Previously, the first half of the "Xuanwu Mountain Treaty" was relatively simple, because it was just some clauses with no direct benefits, and they were applicable to everyone. However, this prisoner transaction involves direct benefits, so it is difficult to do it.
Zhang Jialin, the representative of Dayang Group, moved his seat and gave up the main position to Taoist Guanyun, and then sat next to him to watch the show.
Mr. Zhang had given instructions to himself this morning, so Zhang Jialin quietly waited for the on-site negotiations with an attitude of studying and watching a show.
Wu Zhiwu, the great elder of the Zhenwu Sect, and Taoist Master Yun of the Xiaoyao Sect, Qi Yunfengfeng, looked at each other silently, neither of them spoke first.
This unique negotiation lasted until noon, that is, after more than two hours of confrontation, Taoist Master Guanyun took the initiative to break this strange negotiation: "Elder Wu Zhiwu, my Xiaoyao sect is going to bring out 280 people.
Prisoners, trade all the prisoners you have here."
The great elder laughed when he heard this: "I am going to use all the prisoners, plus the steel battleship, to exchange all of our captured personnel."
Taoist Master Guanyun said slowly: "At the time of the battle, Xiaoyao Sect only held 8% of the shares of Xianshan Exploration Group, so we only received 284 prisoners.
We can't get any more prisoners. So, we just want to redeem our personnel, but not the steel battleships.
If you agree to this transaction condition, I will help deal with the next captives; I dare not say too many promises, but at least it will make it a lot easier for you."
The great elder frowned immediately, the matter was more complicated than imagined.
The representatives of the various shareholders of Atlantic Group also frowned at this time: This Xiaoyao sect is a real chicken thief, and he picked himself out alone. But we are not very satisfied with what you did, it is not authentic.
Look at the Dayang Group. Although it is negotiating for itself, it has at least set an example for those who come after it and set out the "standards" for negotiation. You Xiaoyao faction are a bit selfish in doing so.
Next to him, Hong Yunzi, the representative of the Xuanzhen Sect, snorted. The two families had already broken up, so they didn't care about it anymore.
Then, Yu Jizi, the representative of the Immortal Yin Sect and the head of the law enforcement hall, also snorted softly.
Later, Dong Guo Mingyun of West Kunlun, Zhai Feihong of Red Lotus Sect, Feng Yunlong of Ming Sect, etc. all expressed their dissatisfaction in various ways. Either humming, coughing, or moving their chairs,
Make some noise.
Ahead, Taoist Guanyun who was negotiating suddenly turned pale. I was negotiating, and this was a stab in the back.
Upon seeing this, Wu Zhiwu, the great elder of the Zhenwu Sect, looked at Taoist Guanyun with a half-smile, "Fellow Taoist, it seems that... you don't all agree with your suggestion!"
Taoist Master Guanyun's face turned black, he took a deep breath and stood up, "That's it for today, we will continue tomorrow. Fellow Taoist, let's visit the prosperity of Fertile Continent first."
Wu Zhiwu smiled faintly, stood up slowly, and left with his people. Before going out, he turned his head and glanced behind him again, his eyes full of the look of someone watching a show.
However, Taoist Master Guanyun blocked the door, looked at all the 'comrades', and said with an ugly expression: "Fellow Taoists, we are all our own people now. If you have anything to say, you can speak openly."
Hong Yunzi from the Xuanzhen Sect laughed heartily, "I don't have any objections, I just want to remind you that you, a senior in the transformation stage, are far behind Zhang Hao in terms of negotiation skills and so on.
I want you to be careful, the great situation that Zhang Hao has finally established must not be destroyed by some incompetent people."
Hong Yunzi said it bluntly, he just called you by name and said that you, Taoist Guanyun, are a loser.
However, before Taoist Master Guanyun could get angry, Yu Jizi from the Xianyin Sect next to him also said coldly: "Fellow Taoist Guanyunzi, you are in a hurry to redeem your own people. We have no objection and are even happy to see it happen. Therefore.
, today’s first negotiation is handed over to you Xiaoyao Faction.
However, fellow Taoists, please remember that the reason why you are able to sit here and negotiate is not because of how powerful your Xiaoyao sect is, but because of the opportunity that we all fought for together! We have sacrificed hundreds of Transformation Stage and thousands of Nascent Souls.
The cost in the period was no less than 300 million high-grade spiritual stones!
Please don’t be so selfish when negotiating and think more about everyone.”
Dongguo Mingyun of West Kunlun was even more unkind: "Disappointing!"
Then the representatives of the Holy Land of Taotu Continent expressed their disdain. Representatives of casual cultivators from other countries, although they did not speak, also gave meaningful looks.
Even Bai Feiying, the representative of the Xuanming Sect, said calmly: "I think it is a wrong decision to let the Xiaoyao Sect come first in this negotiation!"
The Xuanming Sect has the least status among many holy places. After all, this is a holy place that has signed an unequal treaty. This unequal treaty is valid for as long as fifty years.
Now, even the people from the Xuanming Sect were making fun of them, which made Taoist Guanyun unbearable. He couldn't bear it anymore and said angrily, "Okay, how about you, the Xuanming Sect, take part in tomorrow's negotiations?"
"We have no problem!" Bai Feiying agreed, "I just don't know what you think?"
"I agree on behalf of Xuanzhen Sect."
"I agree on behalf of West Kunlun."
"I…"
Everyone expressed their agreement, and soon the Xiaoyao sect was isolated. Only Taoist Master Guanyun was left standing stupidly.
Finally, Zhang Guilin from Dayang Group finally got the hint. He came to Taoist Guanyun and gave an apologetic smile: "Senior, I'm so sorry. I didn't expect things to turn out like this. On behalf of Dayang Group, I would like to express my condolences to Senior and Xiaoyao.
Send an apology."
After all, Taoist Master Guanyun was not a complete scoundrel. Seeing a young boy behave like this, he felt embarrassed and said, "This is not the fault of Dayang Group. Dayang Group also has good intentions. It is indeed because I was not sufficiently prepared."
Taoist Guanyun was very angry, but he couldn't get angry at Dayang Group. He really had good intentions, and now this little boy apologized to himself again. If he didn't let go of Dayang Group, it would be both emotional and reasonable.
It doesn't make sense.
Taoist Guanyun left angrily. After returning to the embassy (should be called the representative office), he immediately sent a telegram to the headquarters of the Xiaoyao Sect, giving a brief explanation of the situation here.
About an hour later, a telegram from the leader of the Xiaoyao Sect was sent back. The telegram clearly requested that Master Guanyun need to 'apologise'. The Xiaoyao Sect was indeed in the wrong for this matter. Moreover, the Xiaoyao Sect is no longer the only one, and various holy places
Everyone was involved, so I must apologize.
Taoist Guanyun trembled for a long time after looking at the telegram, but looking at the sincere words, Taoist Guanyun hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and turned around and left. He went to various holy places to apologize door to door, including Dayang Group.
Not just an apology, but also an indication that we are willing to negotiate at the end.
The Xiaoyao faction was so 'sincere', and everyone said: Oh, there is no need for this; but since you apologize so sincerely, let's negotiate in the end.
After Zhang Hao saw off Taoist Guanyun in person, his eyes narrowed: This leader of the Xiaoyao Sect is not a simple person!
But again, how can an ordinary person sit on the position of leader of the Holy Land, and even if an ordinary person does sit on this position, he will become an old fox after sitting on it for a few years.
Obviously, Guan Lanzi, the leader of Xiaoyao European School, noticed something.
In fact, speaking of it, Zhang Hao really had... bad intentions when letting the Xiaoyao faction take the lead this time!
In political struggles, there are often warnings like this: Do more and you will make more mistakes, do less and you will make fewer mistakes, and if you don’t do it, it is good; rushing to do it is seeking death!
If you want to trick someone, the best way is to 'find an obviously impossible task to recommend to him and draw a big golden cake on it.' If it works, it's my credit; if it doesn't... it's because you don't have the ability!
But this time, Zhang Hao used this method on the Xiaoyao Sect.
Because the Xiaoyao Faction had prisoners in the hands of the enemy, they had no choice but to jump in even if they knew it was a trap; not to mention, the Xiaoyao Faction had no idea at all. It wasn’t until this time that they stumbled that the Xiaoyao Faction had doubts; but they had to thank Dayang
The group gives them the opportunity to:
Look, the opportunity has been given to you, but you are incompetent!
To be honest, this kind of prisoner negotiation is the most difficult to handle. It would be fine if they were ordinary prisoners, but the main thing is that the prisoners from Candle Dragon Continent this time are all elites.
It is conceivable that these people will be the future of Zhulong Continent; maybe there will be some uprisings or social changes in Zhulong Continent in the future, and there will be shadows of these people; or the main core of the Zhenwu Sect in the future will also be
these people.
If these people are offended now, it will be detrimental to Dayang Group's future development and long-term interests. Therefore, we can only let others charge.
As for killing them all... obviously that won't work. We still have to trade with Zhulongzhizhou.
But now the Xiaoyao Sect seems to have woken up, but it doesn't matter, it is now taken over by the Xuanming Sect. As long as it is not taken over by the Dayang Group. If the Dayang Group does take over in the end, Zhang Hao has a way to deal with it. Mr. Zhang has a brilliant idea!
Negotiations continued the next day, and this time Bai Feiying negotiated with Wu Zhiwu, the great elder of the Zhenwu Sect, on behalf of the Xuanming Sect.
But this time, Wu Zhiwu took the initiative to speak before the tea was served, "Bai Feiying, right? I heard about the Xuanming Sect. I was still very angry when I was negotiating with Zhang Hao a few days ago. I always felt that Zhang Hao went too far.
.But after hearing about the Xuanming Sect, I realized that Zhang Hao had shown mercy."
Bai Feiying's face is ashen. Assassin, they say you don't expose the shortcomings of others when you scold them, and you don't slap people in the face when you hit them. Wu Zhiwu, you are so stupid!
His expression changed, and Bai Feiying snorted coldly, "Fellow Taoist, we are here for negotiation today, not to reminisce about old times. If Taoist Taoist wants to reminisce about old times, Bai will pay a visit in person someday."
After a brief pause, without giving the other party a chance to speak, Bai Feiying made a direct offer: "Let the matter of the prisoners be postponed for now. Now I will negotiate with you on behalf of the Xuanming Sect. The terms of the negotiation are the same as those of Dayang Group."
Wu Zhiwu said leisurely: "Then let me borrow Zhang Hao's words and ask you, why do you say this! Does your Xuanming Sect have the capabilities of Dayang Group?
You don’t have enough warships, you don’t have enough masters, and even your industrial base is very weak and you lack goods. I don’t think there is any need to sign an agreement between us!”
Bai Feiying is now also an experienced negotiator. He was overwhelmed by Zhang Hao and others before, but now he is very sharp. "If fellow Taoists think it is not necessary, then we don't mind cooperating with the Canglong Sect.
Perhaps Taoist friends didn't understand that the agreement signed between us is actually not unilateral. If you give us good conditions, we will naturally trade with you.
What we are pursuing now is industry and commerce, and everything is profit-seeking. As long as it is profitable, we don't care whether we make a deal with the devil!
Before industry, commerce and capitalism, our righteous path and the devil's path were almost inseparable from each other. But now, look, we are sitting together and negotiating together on the Zhulong Continent.
In fact, both the righteous path and the demonic path are illusory, and only benefits are the most real. At least, that is the case between us."
Wu Zhiwu was stunned for a while, and finally had to give in. There were more signatures on the "Xuanwu Mountain Treaty". From then on, the conditions for trade were completely in accordance with the foundation left by Zhang Hao, and everyone signed on it one after another.
Things finally took a turn and returned to the issue of prisoners. And this time, the Xiaoyao faction was pushed out again. There is no way, you are the only one in the Xiaoyao faction who has prisoners, so we will give you the opportunity again. Learn to be grateful
