"Although it is perfunctory, there will be more things that need to be operated in the future."

Seeing off Werther, Douglas tapped his fingers on the table as he coordinated the next step... Compared to three years ago, the Boys' Army now has a certain strength, but there is still no room for carelessness in working with dangerous people like Capenbergi.

"President, that..."

After Werther left, there were only two left, Lily and Douglas, in the conference room, and the secretary hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help but speak. However, as soon as she met Douglas's gaze, she cowered and did not dare to continue.

Douglas: "If you have any ideas, just say it, but it's not just about letting you sit in on the negotiations today just to give you the ability to block bullets. ”

Lily: "Yes, President... Maybe I didn't think about it well, but can the plan just mentioned by the president really work? ”

"Why do you ask?"

"Forgive your subordinates for their ignorance, although the practice of differential quotas may indeed cause contradictions among those who have unequal profits, will those bigwigs with huge resources really fall for the scheme?"

Lily shook her head slightly, and said, "In my opinion, the other party will soon guess your true purpose, and if they join forces to put pressure on us, wouldn't it be self-defeating?" ”

Calculations and struggles are often the same, and the conspirators and victims change only in a single thought.

Lily's worries are not unreasonable, but Douglas has long been aware of the mystery in this game, and what really makes him happy is that the girl, who is the future head of the intelligence department, also sees this layer.

This shows that she still has the potential to improve, unlike most of her other companions who have followed Douglas and have no awareness of it.

"That's a good point, thinking about it means that you already have the most basic planning skills, but the more times like this, the more you have to think about it more deeply."

Douglas stretched out his right hand, and without saying a word, held out a finger.

"Listen up Lily, there are three principles in the negotiation that must be followed at all times."

"First, never follow the other person's rhythm."

"Second, never expose your own hole cards."

"Third, never state the true purpose."

Douglas adjusted his tone and continued, "Now you might as well think about it, what is the purpose of our meeting with Witt today?" ”

Lily: "A partnership with the Capones? ”

Douglas shook his head, "It's just scratching the surface. ”

Lily groaned for a moment, her fingers subconsciously rubbing the folder in her arms, and said, "Is it to earn enough money?" ”

"To be precise, it is to expand the power of the organization and accumulate wealth, and it is also to climb higher in the Osiris family."

Douglas didn't give Lily much time to digest before continuing to speak: "So, why do you think Werther is here to negotiate today, or what is the purpose of the Capone gang?" ”

"It's... The reason why they sent a negotiator today is because the president mentioned in a previous letter that he planned to provoke the infighting of the five major gangs in the West Sea, and they wanted to start a big war between the mafia. ”

"Here's the problem," Douglas nodded, "and that's why even though the plan I just proposed had such obvious loopholes, Witt still chose to accept it - for Capenbecki, whether the plan was discovered or not, the difference was only between the other four gangs fighting and the joint crusade against Osiris, which was really no different for him. ”

"So Werther doesn't care if my plan can be carried out smoothly, he just needs to push forward the discussion on the sale of gold dust, and naturally there will be a war to get what he wants."

As Douglas parsed the game between him and Werther, Lily's frowning brow gradually relaxed.

In the past three years, she has always been by Douglas's side, and she has experienced many such "sudden realizations", so that now the way of thinking about problems is very close to Douglas, and naturally she quickly understands the key points in this negotiation.

But the clever girl didn't stop thinking.

Lily admits that Douglas was quite clever in inducing Capenbeck to officially cooperate, but when you think about it, why did the president go to so much trouble to pave the way for this stranger whom she had never met?

Even, if this plot continues, the Osiris family itself will be drawn into the quagmire of war, which is not a good thing for the boy army that is currently a part of it...

Their current power is completely dependent on the Osiris family, and if something happens to the main family, all of them will be implicated!

Isn't this contrary to the purpose of strengthening one's own strength?

Lily couldn't figure out what else was going on, so she had to ask Douglas again.

But this time, the boy did not answer her question directly.

Douglas: "You now understand that the success or failure of a plan and the achievement of the ultimate goal are two different things, but the truth is that the struggle between human beings is much more complex than a negotiation. ”

"From time to time, there is a line of Tibet, a moment of counter-control can be used, a moment of auspiciousness can be a murder... Everyone is constantly calculating and guessing, and they are making moves on the chessboard of fate."

"In this game, the trap compromises the trap, the conspiracy is the foreshadowing of the conspiracy, and no one can find a shortcut to victory, but... Scold. ”

Douglas chuckled, but he didn't finish, Lily couldn't fully understand the meaning of his words, but at that moment, the girl seemed to see the whole world in those ice blue eyes.

…

Two days later, the rich area of Crescent Island, Osiris Manor.

As a member of the family, although Douglas has a low position, it is not the first time he has entered and exited this magnificent mansion.

While part of this is due to the fact that he has been working on the West End for the past two years to generate income for the family, everyone in the mansion knows that it is Miss Freira's favor that really makes Douglas enjoy this privilege.

Adolescent girls always have all kinds of wonderful fantasies.

Since the use of Haier's rebellion three years ago to plant the seeds of ignorance in the eldest lady's heart, the teenager only used a dozen letters exchanged in a few months to firmly grasp Freira's heart.

And with the growth of the Golden Rose Travel Company, the eldest lady has also traveled with the boy on various routes in the West Sea several times in the name of travel in the past two years, and it is even rumored that the two have made a private agreement for life, this little ghost from the slums, will soon propose to the godfather's favorite daughter!
