"Lord Earl, the Xiangjiang Merchant Group has jointly sent several negotiators to sue for peace with you."

Luo Zhengdao, who was meditating in the captain's room, how to get out of the current predicament, was disturbed by a knock on the door, and when he heard the news that the merchant group had softened, he showed a calm expression that I expected, and said:

"I'm going to change my clothes and let them wait in the conference room."

"Yes, Lord Count."

Luo Zhengdao was hung in the conference room for half an hour in one breath, and the group of negotiators who came to negotiate with the pirates did not dare to complain out loud, no matter in which world, big fists are the last word, and it is an indisputable fact that winners take all. Nowadays, the mercenaries and private armies under the merchant group are facing the terrifying mental pressure of the giant cannons of the pirate fleet named one by one, and they have long been unmotivated and have no fighting spirit, and they just want to find a way to survive for themselves. Nima, whoever dares to stop these Qiuba, they will never be polite to you.

How tricky things are is obvious, everyone understands in their hearts that the seemingly prosperous Xiangjiang Port is just a fat pig raised by the Second Goblin Empire, and the final outcome is not to slaughter the pirates for meat, then it must be fattened and killed by the goblins.

Knowing that the truth is so unbearable, people with a little shame will not fight to the end for the sake of the alien race, no matter what the reason, the merchants of Xiangjiang who have always spared their lives have not fought with the pirates to the last soldier and carried out the noble consciousness of the scorched earth war of resistance, they simply hope to spend money to buy peace.

When Luo Zhengdao, who was belated, stepped into the conference room, the negotiator Xi who was sweating profusely stepped forward as if he had been given a treasure, and he said in a pleading tone that was almost collapsed:

"Lord Earl, we are willing to pay 100,000 gold coins in exchange for your security guarantee."

Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao laughed and said:

"One hundred thousand gold coins? Do you think I'm a little thief stealing a wallet on the street? ”

Seeing this scene, another negotiator immediately showed a flattering smile, and he groveled and said to Luo Zhengdao:

"Your Excellency, please do not misunderstand our sincerity, this is a hard work for you. If you can immediately order a halt to the attack and evacuate the fleet to a safe distance, we are willing to pay another 300,000 gold coins, which is not a small amount. ”

Without Luo Zhengdao opening his mouth, the other party took the initiative to raise the price to an astonishing amount of 400,000 gold coins in total, even the early assistance given to Luo Zhengdao by the Yaling Empire was nothing more than that. In all fairness, when it comes to bargaining business negotiations, the Xiangjiang businessmen who have been in the business world for a long time are naturally not laymen, but no matter how successful or bad the business was in the past, it was nothing more than a small matter of how much money was made. The current situation is completely different, they are using their own net worth and life as bargaining chips, and accidentally losing the bet is a big problem for their heads to move, and their attitude is naturally not tough in negotiations. In the final analysis, the merchant group is a group of businessmen, not martyrs who regard death as if they were at home, and it is understandable that they will tell some nonsense that is completely substandard under the pressure of being overwhelmed.

Some time ago, the price paid by the Yaling Empire to buy Luo Zhengdao, an agent, if all the aid materials were converted into cash, the total amount would only be more than 200,000 gold-garnet gold coins.

It is true that there are some sensitive items such as high-grade Yaling battleships, which represent the highest achievements of Yaling civilization, and are not special commodities that can be traded in the market casually, and are not easy to convert into market prices. If it is judged according to the black market transaction price, a relatively reasonable price range can be roughly delineated, and the premium part is counted as 100,000 gold coins. Regardless of asking, it can be seen that in order to protect their own safety this time, the Xiangjiang Business Group United is indeed ruthless, and even Luo Zhengdao can't help but be moved when they hear their offer, these guys are really oily and water!

In order to hide the violent emotional fluctuations in his heart, Luo Zhengdao turned around and took out a bottle of rum from the wine cabinet in the conference room, poured himself a glass, and poured himself a drink.

Seeing this scene, the negotiators who were in their throats were all looking at Luo Zhengdao, and after a short silence, he turned around and looked at the negotiator with a smile, and said with a smile:

"It's a good thing that you're willing to pay, but we need more than just money!"

"Oh, no problem, whatever supplies you need? Devil's cloth, sea driftwood, stone pine powder, and metal ingots, as long as you ask, these conditions are negotiable, and definitely not a problem. ”

After losing the will to resist, today's merchant group is like a cowardly guy who has been kidnapped by bandits, trembling and excessively generously waving the checkbook, they really hope to exchange money for a way to live, after all, money is something outside the body, and if they die, there is nothing, and leaving Wanguan's family wealth is also cheap.

Upon hearing this, Luo Zhengdao restrained his smile slightly, and said seriously:

"I don't want what you say you ......"

"Then what do you mean ......"

The more they couldn't figure out what Luo Zhengdao was doing, the joint representatives of the merchant group instinctively sensed a sense of crisis, and they looked at each other, this big pirate shouldn't want more, right?

"Well, you guys listen up, I want a population."

When they heard Luo Zhengdao say this sentence with a smile, the negotiators shuddered in unison, privately trading people to pirates, this matter is not trivial, and when they turned back to the goblin empire to know the inside story, those green skins had to be killed and skinned alive!

The special status enjoyed by the port of Xiangjiang was strictly restricted by the Second Goblin Empire from the beginning, and one of the unspoken rules was that human exiles were not allowed to defect overseas through Xiangjiang, so the merchant group united spared no effort to squeeze and exploit those human refugees who flowed into Xiangjiang, and finally made them impoverished and unable to leave. Those who could not be dissuaded stubbornly demanded to flee to sea, and as a result, they either fed the fish on the way because of a leak in the bottom of the boat, or unfortunately ran into a goblin patrol boat in the open sea and sank it directly. Over time, the secret is not a secret, even idiots can taste it, and everyone just knows it.

The negotiator Xi who was on the verge of mental collapse was sweating like rain, and his chubby round face couldn't even squeeze out a smiling smile at the moment, he took out a handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat that he couldn't finish wiping, and continued to say to Luo Zhengdao:

"My lord, this matter ...... It's not easy to do! You know, we're businessmen, and we're not in charge of municipal affairs! ”

Seeing this scene, a sneer appeared on the corner of Luo Zhengdao's mouth, even if he didn't know what tricks these businessmen played, his request was not to be refused, assuming that these guys who wanted money and didn't want to die dared to play tricks with Luo Zhengdao, then he would never mind letting the other party continue to taste the wonderful taste of that level cannon like a soul.

It is useless to talk too much about the matter, and he has already held an unchangeable firm belief, Luo Zhengdao is too lazy to explain anything nonsense to the other party, and immediately said in a straightforward and irrefutable tone:

"Enough, listen to me, I want civilians, men, women and children, all of them. If any of you dare to refuse my terms, then there is no need to talk about anything, please turn around and get out of here, and let us continue to exchange our differences of opinion with our cannons! ”

Xiucai met Bing, it is unreasonable! The merchant alliance is indeed very sincere in reconciling with the pirate fleet, and they can't stand Luo Zhengdao's high price making them in a dilemma. I never expected Luo Zhengdao's attitude to be so tough, and the collateral requirements he put forward happened to be harsh conditions that the merchants could not accept, what should I do next, and the several representatives present thought of their difficult situation, and they were immediately soaked in cold sweat with their richly decorated silk clothes.

"Well, we need to go back and discuss this, you know, we're negotiators, and the final decision is not in our hands."

Hearing the other party's words, Luo Zhengdao was not surprised, he waved his hand calmly, and said nonchalantly:

"Well, I'll give you an hourglass time to discuss, and I haven't had a satisfactory answer by the time. Hmph, at your own risk. ”

After that, Luo Zhengdao, whose face was as cold as an executioner, made a send-off gesture to his subordinates who were standing in the conference room and cheering, and then a few specially selected from the pirates, with a body as thick as an orangutan, and a fierce appearance appeared in front of any stranger, and the other party would have an inexplicable impulse to take out his wallet and hand it over to them to keep on their behalf. I saw that these scaring pirates stepped forward, and they pushed and shoved several negotiators from the merchant group out of the conference room, and the empty large room immediately fell silent, leaving only Luo Zhengdao to continue to pretend with his back to the door.13

Sariel Byrne, who had been standing behind Luo Zhengdao, looked at him curiously, as if he was a little puzzled by Luo Zhengdao's overly tough attitude, and the Yaling Overseer asked rarely:

"Your Excellency, are you sure that the Merchant Union will definitely compromise?"

Luo Zhengdao was also very strange, why did this Yaling beauty, who had always held a cold attitude of watching from the sidelines, suddenly ask, at this moment he didn't bother to figure out how the other party felt, and said without thinking:

"Hmph, a bunch of guys who only have interests in their eyes and can buy and sell anything, will they sacrifice their lives for the benefit of the goblins? Don't make me laugh! Even if a glass of poisoned wine is in front of them, they don't want to die right away, and that's why I'm going to do it. ”

"Why don't we agree to the pirates' terms! These guys can do anything. ”

"No, absolutely not. We can't agree to the pirate count's terms, and there's news from the military department that we're actually bait......"

Leaving the Avenger in a hurry, the negotiators and their entourage returned to the joint headquarters building of the merchant group and briefed the bigwigs on the negotiations.
