Chapter 277: Hiding a Knife in a Smile

Coming to the Unicorn Cave Mansion, the Tu Shan clan is waiting for it, and the one sitting in it is also the most luxurious lineup of Niu Hump at present.

Among them, of course, are the Nine-Tails Scheme and the One-Horned Fury.

Li Qi's side is a little weaker, after all, Yue Wei and Lan Cai, who came with him, are just filling the scene, and have no other role, because the two of them are facing the royal family, and they only have apprehension and fear in their hearts. Hanying wasn't stage frightened, but she didn't understand that.

After a hypocritical greeting, Li Qi and the others also took their seats.

Li Qi said with a smile: "Li Qi came this time mainly to repair the relationship between our Huaxia Alliance and the Kingdom, hoping that we can coexist peacefully as before." ”

Tu Shan said with a smile: "Where did this really start, I believe you have also heard the announcement issued by our Earth King, we feel very guilty about the harm caused by this war to your second-class race, and we are also duty-bound to do this, we will learn the lesson of this time in the future, and try to avoid any harm to you, you don't need to worry about it." ”

Is this for Richie?

It can be said that absolutely not, this is actually said to all the second-class races, because this war has indeed damaged the image of the kingdom in the hearts of the second-class races, and the kingdom is now going to make every effort to repair this, including aiding the Gu Eagle, which also means this. But then again, it's actually a game with Richie and win those second-class races to his side.

Of course, Li Qi understood in his heart, and arched his hand: "The king of the earth is really broad-minded, benevolent and unparalleled, and Li Qi is very grateful and admired. ”

Speaking of this, he paused, and then said, "In that case, then our Huaxia Alliance hopes to continue friendly exchanges and trade with your kingdom, just like before. ”

The Nine-Tails suddenly said, "If our kingdom doesn't want to have friendly relations with you, why would we invite you here?" But in terms of trade, I think that should be another thing, for example, you have a very good relationship with the peak owner, and you often come to visit, and the peak owner is also very welcome, but if you have a friendly relationship with the peak owner, just to make a transaction, this friendship is not very pure, or in other words, you have a friendly relationship with the peak owner, and you don't have to trade. ”

Your old fox woman, after saying so much, it is nothing more than trying to pit me, it seems that the war will continue, but there is no gunsmoke, as long as there is no gunsmoke, how you want to play, I will accompany you to the end. Li Qi smiled and nodded, and said: "The big producer said very much, cough, let's put it this way, while friendly exchanges, I also hope to be able to establish trade relations with the kingdom, I have always believed that this trade is to take what you need, it can be a win-win situation, and it just so happens that we all need each other very much now." ”

A touch of disdain flashed in the eyes of the Nine-Tails Daji, in her opinion, it was the Huaxia Alliance that needed the kingdom more, and said: "You are right, in fact, Dabei also wants to resume trade with you as soon as possible, but many of the big producers in our country are very opposed!" ”

Tu Shan nodded helplessly.

Li Qi pretended to be surprised: "Why? Don't... Is it because of that war? ”

"No, no."

The Nine-Tails waved his hand and said, "Fang Cai Dabei has made it very clear that that war was our fault, and you must not be blamed." ”

Li Qi was curious: "What is that for?" ”

"You know, in our kingdom, there are two kinds of big producers, and their influence is very great, one is the owner of money, and the other is the owner of transportation, and those who oppose you are those who are engaged in transportation, and they think that if it is open to you, your steam cars will seriously harm their interests, and they are resolutely opposed to continuing to trade with you." Unless....... ”

Li Qi hurriedly asked, "Unless what?" ”

The Nine-Tails said, "Unless you can give up the development of the steam car." ”

Li Qi smiled bitterly: "Although I don't want to mention that war again, but at this time, I can't help but mention it, Dabei, everyone, I believe you all understand why there is a steam car, this is not what we want, mainly because your kingdom restricted the transportation to us at that time, and we were at war with the Yaqi Legion at that time, transportation is particularly important, in fact, the steam car was born under the force of desperation." ”

"I know, I know."

The Nine-Tails nodded again and again, and said: "This is all caused by our fault, so we can guarantee that this situation will not happen again, and we will compensate you, as long as you promise to give up the steam car, our kingdom will immediately open up trade with you, and our transport team will immediately reach a cooperation agreement with you to provide you with transportation, and also reduce the cost of transportation, as for the reduction, I promise that it will not be less than thirty percent." ”

Yue Wei was surprised: "In this case, is there still money to be made?" ”

The Nine-Tails said: "You can rest assured of this, I will not lie to you, because Da Bei has suggested to the King of the Earth that a subsidy be given to the owner of the transportation industry in the southeast, because this is caused by Wang Cheng's mistake, and Wang Cheng should be held responsible." ”

Tu Shan nodded and said: "Actually, our king of the earth doesn't mind you developing steam cars, just because many big producers in the country are very opposed, and we have to take care of them, and I also think it's feasible, we don't let you never be allowed to use steam cars, just for the cooperation between us and us, put the steam cars in the warehouse."

Although I haven't seen the steam car with my own eyes, I also have specific information in my hand, our kingdom transport team is by no means inferior to the steam car, and we also have air transportation, the cost is similar, or even lower, if we cooperate very happily, then it doesn't matter if the steam car is not used. And, if you're not happy with our convoy and have a good reason, you can use it again. I really hope to be able to continue trading with you soon, and I don't want to give up all this because of the steam car. ”

That's right, the steam car is still the steam car that Li Qi knows, but the kingdom's transportation is right, but Li Qi didn't have it in that era, their transport team can easily cross the mountains and rivers, and the white rhino and deer beasts are very spiritual, and they don't need a lot of royal families to escort them, and there is one point, that is, safety, the royal family's convoy, who dares to rob.

Therefore, Lan Cai and Yue did not listen to it, and they all showed hesitation.

It sounds like that, if the kingdom can provide good transportation services, is there any value in the existence of steam cars?

Besides, if it doesn't work, you can use it again.

Why give up the big market of the kingdom because of the steam car.

That's amazing! Li Qi couldn't help but secretly say in his heart.

He knew it was all for him.

The steam car is a great invention of mankind, without the steam car, the status of mankind will decline a lot, currency, resources are difficult to compete with the kingdom, if the transportation continues to be monopolized by the kingdom, it is equivalent to the kingdom still controls the second-class race.

"Logically speaking, I very much agree with Dabei's words."

Li Qi nodded, changed his words, and said: "But in terms of trade, I don't think it's very unfair, because steam cars can generate a lot of profits, and the profits are very huge, and our Huaxia Alliance already has a lot of big producers engaged in this kind of trading." I don't think it makes sense to give up the interests of our transportation owners for the sake of the interests of the transportation owners of your kingdom. ”

Lan Cai and Yue Wei suddenly reacted, and now it seems too late to regret it, because Li Qi's revival plan started from the steam car, and many large producers took out loans, invested in carriages, and invested in transportation, and suddenly stopped doing it, how to calculate this account.

And Li Qi is also very right, you are still bullying us!

The Nine-Tails Daji nodded with a smile, and said: "You have a point, Dabei and I are just making a suggestion, not to force you to give up the steam car, if you think this is unfair, then you have to give us time, we will talk to those big owners again, and see if we can negotiate a mutually acceptable result." ”

Li Qi frowned slightly, muttered a little, and said: "I think time is money, for the sake of one industry, and give up the interests of all industries, I think this is not a wise move, do you see this way, the trade between us, will be fully contracted to your transport team, what the price, no compensation." ”

A smug smile flashed in the eyes of the Nine-Tails Great Plan, and his expression was confident, Li Qi chose to take a step back so quickly, it can be seen that his guess was very accurate, Li Qi urgently needs to trade with them, and the kingdom urgently needs to disintegrate the Huaxia Alliance, and trade with them is also based on this premise, they have the absolute upper hand, nodded and said: "This proposal of yours is very good, I will tell those big producers." ”

But the tone seemed a little perfunctory.

Even Lan Cai and Yue Wei could hear that they were perfunctory.

It can be seen that if trade with the kingdom is to be resumed, the steam car must be abandoned.

Li Qi was a little depressed and said, "We can resume some trade first, and then negotiate slowly." ”

Nine-Tails said: "You have been trading in our kingdom for some time, and you should also know the situation of our kingdom, the last movement was triggered because many royal families were dissatisfied with the status quo, this time we must be cautious, or wait until we convince those big producers, let's talk about mutual trade." ”

Tu Shan nodded and said, "I'm really sorry, our kingdom is very sensitive to this matter. ”

Li Qi sighed, nodded, and said, "Okay, then I'll wait for good news." ”

At this point, there is no need to talk any further, Li Qi said some inconsequential polite words, and then took his leave, you can't say that it was unhappy, at least on the surface the two sides are still very friendly, not to say that it is-for-tat, but there is no result.

After Li Qi left, the Nine-Tails said with a smile: "I have already said before, no matter how smart Li Qi is, he must also build on strength, if he can't bring wealth to the Huaxia Alliance, he, the leader of the alliance, will step down sooner or later, and if he wants to do this, he can't do without our kingdom." ”

"That's right." Tu Shanshi nodded, and said cautiously: "But Venerable Master, we can't be careless, we just ignored him last time, which led to today's dilemma." ”

"I'm not careless." The Nine-Tails shook his head and said, "I'm just full of confidence in the strength of our kingdom. I have seen a lot of very clever owners and traders, and when there is a serious imbalance between their wisdom and strength, they often hurt themselves, and from the attitude of Li Qicai, he is eager to trade with us, and we have the absolute initiative. ”
