After reaching an agreement, the two parties jointly determined the details of the agreement. After checking it several times, both parties signed and sealed it. Ouyang Si immediately sent the guards back to the imperial capital and asked the emperor to seal it. Only after the emperor seals it can the agreement take effect.
There is also a letter to the princess, which introduces Zhang Hao's "give up" situation.
After this delay, it was noon, and everyone who was tired from the night held a grand luncheon.
At the luncheon, Ouyang Si was unwilling to give up and made insinuations; but everyone just smiled and kept what they said during the negotiation. It was about their own interests, and everyone consciously kept it secret.
After the lunch, Ouyang Si took a short rest and then left for the Weapon Refining Guild.
There are three purposes for this trip: the Zhang family, the Black Iron Guild, and the Weapon Refining Guild.
The Zhang family is the easiest, as long as they get Wu Fanghai's permission. The Xuantie Guild is more difficult. Ouyang Si didn't know how to negotiate before coming, and he didn't know what to do.
Fortunately, it was finally solved.
Thinking about it now, although the Black Iron Guild asked for Luanci Mountain, at least it did not make things difficult, make trouble unreasonably, push for an extra mile, etc. Overall, Ouyang Si still had a good impression of the Black Iron Guild.
At least when the country needed it, the Black Iron Guild did pay a lot.
And that Luanci Mountain is nothing to the country. If the Black Iron Guild can profit from it, that's their business.
Just a few years later, Ouyang Si beat his chest for today's decision and regretted it endlessly!
But what Ouyang Si is most worried about now is the Weapon Refining Guild.
…………
The carriage with the logo of the City Lord's Mansion creaked and creaked, but it was still arriving at its destination; it seemed to know Ouyang Si, and perhaps it was giving Ouyang Si time to think.
The treasury currently has no money; if we continue to borrow money, I'm afraid it won't be appropriate.
In particular, the chairman of the Weapon Refining Guild is Zhou Jue; Zhou Jue is not very old, but he is already in the middle stage of Nascent Soul cultivation, and his talent is not weaker than that of the princess.
The most important thing is that there is a strong background behind Zhou Jue: the young master of Xinglintang, the chief disciple of Jiuyang Sect!
In terms of background, Zhou Jue is almost equal to the prince!
Therefore, unfair means will not work.
And the Weapon Refining Guild is not the Black Iron Guild. The Black Iron Guild needs mines, but the Weapon Refining Guild does not want mines!
If the Weapon Refining Guild wants a mine, it must be a Lingshi Mine. But the Lingshi Mine must be in the hands of the state.
Different from black iron, black iron still needs to be smelted; the spiritual stones can be dug out to make money.
Thinking about it made his head hurt, but Ouyang Si still couldn't think of a breakthrough.
"It seems that we can only try to get in touch and see what the needs of this weapon refining guild are."
With a sigh, Ouyang Si picked up the document that Zhang Hao sent over during the previous negotiation. Looking at the detailed data on it, Ouyang Si felt quite emotional.
After so many years in politics, Ouyang Si has never been so speechless as this time.
"Use numbers to speak. Facts speak louder than words!" Ouyang Si murmured to himself. This was what Zhang Hao said to him at the luncheon.
The carriage slowly stopped.
"Are we here?" Ouyang Si raised his head and asked.
The guard immediately replied: "My lord, there is still some distance to go back. But we met the Zhang family's carriage."
"Zhang family? Zhang Hao?"
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Hao's voice was heard: "Zhang Hao pays homage to Uncle Ouyang."
Ouyang Si opened the curtain and saw Zhang Hao's bright smile.
Ouyang Si quickly looked at his surroundings, his mind racing:
Looking at Zhang Hao's carriage, it was obvious that it came from a small road.
Did he happen to meet him?
Or have you been waiting here for a long time?
After last night's confrontation, Ouyang Si has determined that Zhang Hao is a little fox and does not dare to underestimate him.
Ouyang was thinking too much and didn't speak for a while.
Zhang Hao could only continue: "Unexpectedly, Zhang Hao took a shortcut and met Uncle Ouyang again."
Ouyang Si was still thinking about Zhang Hao's purpose, and subconsciously asked: "Where is my nephew going?"
"go home."
"Oh, I'll leave first." Ouyang Si put down the curtain and was about to "escape".
Zhang Hao smiled: "Uncle Ouyang, now the Weapon Refining Guild is temporarily renting it to our house."
Ouyang Si:......
"Let me lead the way for Uncle Ouyang."
With that said, Zhang Hao asked the guard driving the car to 'lead the way'.
Ouyang Si opened his mouth and wanted to shout: You don't need to lead the way, I know the direction.
But unfortunately, Ouyang Si's face turned red and he had to say: Thank you so much to my nephew.
As a result, they arrived at Zhang's Mansion just after tea time. Zhang Hao personally helped Ouyang Si open the curtain and warmly invited Ouyang Si to get out of the car.
Zhou Jue, on the other hand, brought everyone from the Weapon Refining Guild to greet him, and the scene was very grand.
But in Ouyang Si's opinion, it was quite a bit showy.
So many people came out to greet me and stared at me with glaring eyes. It seemed a bit threatening no matter how I looked at it.
It was just an introduction to the meeting, which only lasted half an hour. Zhou Jue introduced them one by one. Ouyang Si resisted the urge to hit people, forced a smile, and got to know each other one by one.
As a result, everyone stood there under the scorching sun at 14:00 in the afternoon for more than half an hour.
Although most cultivators are not afraid of heat, but... Zhou Jue, what the hell do you mean!
This is simply a different kind of rejection!
Seeing Zhou Jue introduce Zhang Hao, Ouyang Si quickly said: "Zhang Hao doesn't need to be introduced."
"No, no, no." Zhou Jue shook his head, "Formal introduction, Zhang Hao, director of the 'Technical Standards Department' of the Weapon Refining Guild, is one of the five major ministers in the Weapon Refining Guild.
At the same time, Zhang Hao is also one of the important representatives in this negotiation."
Damn...
Ouyang Si was furious when he heard this, because this little fox wants to continue negotiating with me!
After introducing Zhang Hao, Zhou Jue finally invited Ouyang Si inside.
At this time, Ouyang Si's face had turned a little dark. Now it was very clear that he seemed to have entered a big net on his own initiative.
But Ouyang Si was not afraid and walked in front with his head held high.
After entering the hall and sitting down, Ouyang Si said directly and domineeringly: "Zhou Jue, I have two purposes for coming today.
First of all, congratulations to the Weapon Refining Guild for its establishment, becoming the largest refining organization in the country, and being canonized by His Majesty for making outstanding contributions to the development of the country."
Zhou Jue nodded with a smile, disapproval flashing in his eyes.
Making outstanding contributions to the country? It seems that the Weapon Refining Guild has just been established and has issued a ‘standard’, but there is still little response from the outside world.
Sure enough, he is the prime minister, look at his ability to tell lies.
However, 'the largest weapon refining organization in the country' sounds very good, but I always feel that this statement... has a trap.
Ouyang Si paused for a moment and continued: "Secondly, the country is in urgent need of a large number of war weapons, and the sooner the better. As the largest weapon refining organization in the country, the Weapon Refining Guild must be enough to save the country from danger.
I beg you... please!"
As he said this, Ouyang Si stood up, bowed to everyone and bowed.
I really came here to ask for help.
Everyone was immediately dumbfounded.
You're being a scumbag!
We were planning to have a long talk, but you actually surrendered.
Everyone was unable to resist for a while.
Not to mention others, even Zhang Hao was dumbfounded. He had prepared a lot of words, but was speechless.
Hey, please straighten up, we can't bear this gift!
