Chapter 698: A hard-won opportunity to negotiate

During the news broadcast, the chief minister cordially met with the visiting Crown Prince Tokuhito of Japan, and the two sides exchanged views on a number of issues of common concern between the two countries. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

On the same day, Deren took a special plane back to Japan.

That night, Deren quietly came to Hong Kong Island again, this time, Deren was fortunate to stay in the private club of the Imperial Garden, not far from the villa where Tang Dou lived.

Tang Dou and He Bin greeted the visiting Deren at the door of the villa with a smile on their faces, Tang Dou held Deren's hand and said with a smile: "Welcome to Prince Deren again." ”

Deren shook Tang Dou's hand and said with guilt: "Thank you Mr. Tang, we never expected that the Chinese people and Asian people were so tolerant, after the public apology, many countries have sent us friendly signals, Mr. Tang should know that our Japanese economy has been stagnant for many years, and even some industries are still showing a downward trend, maybe this time we can take advantage of this opportunity to completely get our country's economy out of the quagmire." The reason why we were able to get this opportunity is also thanks to Mr. Tang, Mr. Tang, you are a friend of our Japanese imperial family. ”

Tang Dou laughed, let go of Deren's hand, and said with a smile: "Prince Deren, I hope you still say this after we have discussed the matter of the Kusanagi Sword, hehe, Prince Deren, please come in." ”

Deren has a black line, he heard it from Tang Dou's words, apology is an apology, Kusanagi Sword is Kusanagi Sword, these are two different things, but if you want to talk to Tang Dou about Kusanagi Sword, then you have to apologize first to have a chance, it seems that this has become another thing.

Entering the living room, Tang Dou invited Deren to sit down, and made a few cups of tea by himself and put them in front of everyone.

This time Qian Cihang did not come to participate in their talks, now the matter between Tang Dou and Deren has simply become a business, although Qian Cihang is very interested in knowing how Tang Dou this kid will slaughter Deren, but there is no need to listen to the scene in person, in case the two of them talk down, he can also mediate from it.

After making tea, Tang Dou sat on the sofa opposite Deren with a smile, looked at Deren and said: "Prince Deren, now we can officially talk about the Kusanagi Sword, first of all, I am not short of money, and Prince Deren does not have to think about how much money he can use to buy the Kusanagi Sword from me." ”

Deren looked bitter. You're not short of money? You are not short of money, and as soon as you open your mouth, you will ask us for 50 years of GDP? Even if he took a step back later, it would be fourteen years of gross national product, and even a madman would not dare to open his mouth like this.

Deren looked at Tang Dou with a sad face and said, "It seems that this is another difficult negotiation. Okay, Mr. Tang, please state your conditions, how can you return the Kusanagi Sword to us? ”

"Restitution is a good word." Tang Dou said with a smile at Deren.

Deren already felt that Tang Dou's words were definitely not casually said, but at this moment, he could only stubbornly continue to speak: "Of course, the Kusanagi Sword is one of the three major artifacts inherited by the ancestors of our Yamato nation, and now that it has fallen into the hands of Mr. Tang, it is natural to use the word return." Of course, we, the Japanese Imperial Family, will also pay an appropriate remuneration for Mr. Tang's act of returning the Kusanagi sword to us. ”

Tang Dou smiled: "Prince Deren is right, but it's only a part. I admit that the Kusanagi sword is one of the three great artifacts of you Japanese. Now that we're talking about the issue of restitution, let's make an exchange. I will return to you the artifacts that belong to you Japanese, but you must also return to us what belongs to us Chinese, we are an equivalent exchange, there is no who takes advantage of whom, you see my suggestion is good? ”

Deren's eyes narrowed, looked at Tang Dou and asked, "Mr. Tang is talking about equivalent exchange?" ”

Tang Dou smiled and said: "Of course, we are talking about business now, and we naturally have to feel suitable for each other to do business." The terms of exchange that you and I agree to are theoretically equivalent exchanges. ”

Deren is not a businessman, he has no skills in business negotiations, and Tang Dou, a businessman who has been exposed to antique streets since he was a child, especially good at fooling.

Tokuhito only knew that he would bring the Kusanagi Sword back to Japan no matter what, and he only hoped that the equivalent exchange that Tang Dou was talking about now was true.

Deren looked at Tang Dou and said sincerely: "Mr. Tang, please tell me about your specific exchange conditions." ”

Tang Dou smiled slightly, took a sip of the teacup slowly, put down the teacup and looked at Deren and said: "I want to use the Kusanagi Sword to exchange with you a total of 4.87 million cultural relics that you Japanese have plundered from our China by various means since the late Qing Dynasty, and now these cultural relics are in the hands of more than 1,000 museums and individuals in your country, I hope you can return these cultural relics to us." ”

"It can't be." Deren fluttered to his feet, his face even uglier than the purple eggplant skin.

Tang Dou looked at Deren with a smile, picked up the teacup again, and slowly blew the foam on the tea.

Deren realized that he had lost his temper, he stared at Tang Dou and sat down again, the corners of his mouth twitched for a long time, and finally squeezed out a sentence from his mouth: "Mr. Tang, didn't you say that we should exchange at an equal price?" ”

Tang Dou put down the teacup and nodded seriously at Deren: "Yes, it's an equivalent exchange." Prince Tokuhito, if you were to estimate the value of the Kusanagi Sword, how much do you think the Kusanagi Sword should be worth? ”

Deren felt that he had been insulted, and he said to Tang Dou with a cold face and a stiff tone: "The Kusanagi Sword is a priceless treasure of our Yamato nation, and it cannot be measured by money. ”

Tang Dou shrugged his shoulders with a smile, leaned back on the sofa, and smiled at Deren: "Isn't this enough, the Kusanagi Sword is a priceless treasure, I only used it to exchange it for more than four million cultural relics that originally belonged to our China, if this account is calculated, you Japanese have taken a big advantage." But I'm not that greedy, so I don't need you to make any extra compensation. As long as you return these 4,870,000 artifacts to me, I will return the Kusanagi Sword to you. ”

Faced with Tang Dou's rogue answer, the corners of Deren's mouth twitched in anger, and even the hand on his knee trembled uncontrollably.

Now that he knew, he had fallen into the language trap that Tang Dou had set for him, but he had no choice, he couldn't open his eyes and sell a quantitative value to the Kusanagi Sword, right?

He didn't quantify it, but Tang Dou quantified it for him, a Kusanagi sword is equal to 4.87 million Chinese cultural relics, this quid pro quo is something he can't accept no matter what, and even with the power of the government, it is impossible to collect all the Chinese cultural relics scattered throughout Japan and among the people.

Deren really wanted to point to Tang Dou's nose and ask Tang Dou, equivalent exchange, your Chinese cultural relics are so worthless? 4.87 million cultural relics to exchange for a sword in Japan?

But after all, Deren was born in the royal family and received a good education, he couldn't ask something like this, which was obviously mocking, and he also knew that if he dared to ask this sentence, the negotiation opportunity with Tang Dou that he had won so hard would be gone.

At this time, He Bin, who was sitting with him, smiled and mended the knife: "Just before Prince Deren came, Mr. Tang also said that the sheep head of one of the twelve beast heads of the Old Summer Palace that will be unveiled at Christie's auction must be one of the exchange items, and that sheep head is what you Japanese plundered from our China at the beginning, and now the Japanese who sent the sheep head to auction is called Sakata Shinsi." However, I have a small personal request for this sheep head as one of the exchange conditions, and I hope that Prince Tokuhito can coordinate with Sakata Shinji to meet my personal small request, for which I will be grateful. ”

Deren exhaled a few breaths, looked at He Bin and said, "If that sheep head is really sent by us Japanese, I can coordinate with the Japanese that Mr. He said." However, Mr. He, Mr. Tang's offer of a quid pro quo is really unacceptable to me, and I hope that Mr. He can persuade Mr. Tang to change to a more reasonable quid pro quo. ”

He Bin smiled: "Is the equivalent exchange, it is the exchange conditions recognized by both the buyer and the seller, if the prince of Deren feels that the exchange conditions proposed by Mr. Tang are too high, you can also put forward your own exchange conditions, and everyone will slowly run in." We have an old saying in China, called business is not benevolent, even if you don't negotiate this business, maybe there will be other cooperation opportunities in the future? ”

Prince Deren has a black line, and he doesn't want to have any more cooperation opportunities with Tang Dou and He Bin in his life, unless the jade seal of China's heirloom suddenly comes into his hands. (To be continued.) )
