Chapter XIV Negotiations

The reply from the Warring States was delayed on the other end of the phone, and Shen Ming took the opportunity to pressurize: "I'm afraid, not only you, the marshal of the navy, will be sprayed with blood, but even the prestige of the entire navy among the member countries of the world government will be greatly affected." ”

Sengoku's twisted beard trembled, and he didn't know what to say.

"What's wrong with you?" Like an old urchin, Karp picked up a piece of fairy shell and stuffed it into the mouth of the Warring States and said with a smile: "Eat a piece of fairy shell, it's delicious." ”

"How about it, do you want me to do the way for the heavens, and instead of you to execute this sinful general Akainu?" Shen Ming used the method of agitation against the Warring States.

Warring States spit out the fairy shell at once, gritted his teeth and said, "Don't, calm down!" ”

Karp punched Sengoku very unhappily, and was about to say something, when Sengoku put down the microphone and roared at Karp almost with all his might: "Don't make noise!! ”

Karp was stunned for a moment. In the past, he was like this, and the old guys of the Warring States would not bother with him. At this time, he realized that he was afraid that something had happened that would have a great impact on the entire navy!

"What do you want to do?" Sengoku was in a terrible mood.

In negotiations, the most taboo is to let the other party know their bottom line at the beginning. Because in that case, the outcome of the negotiations will often be very unsatisfactory. This is the same as the principle of bargaining in a cheap shop, generally the stall price is a few hundred yuan, but as long as the customer haggles a little, he can cut more than 100 yuan, and the aunt with iron teeth and copper teeth even cuts dozens of yuan against the sky. If the price is only a few dozen dollars at the beginning, it will often be cut to nothing!

"How much should a general be worth?" Shen Ming muttered without answering.

Warring States couldn't figure out what Shen Ming was thinking at all, which made him very uncomfortable, "I apologize to you on behalf of the Navy and Akainu, and when Akainu comes back, I will definitely punish him severely!" ”

"Tsk! I've heard that the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, Ace's bounty is 550 million Bailey. Shen Ming seemed to be rambling and said, "Is Ace a little stronger, or is Akainu more powerful?" ”

"Enough!" As a naval marshal, a big man who rules the world's seas, how could Sengoku have ever been played with like this? He yelled, "Stop going around the bush, what do you want to do?" Say it! ”

Shen Ming didn't give him any face from the marshal, and asked the Warring States coldly: "Is this your attitude towards negotiating with me?" Hmph, that looks like our conversation could be over. As the price for him to threaten, intimidate, and almost kill the king of a country, the Draconians, the Red Inu will be buried in the land of Alabastan forever! ”

"Don't, don't!" Zhan Chinese's tone softened suddenly, and his face was pale, and fine cold sweat even broke out on his forehead. "I apologize! For this incident, all members of the Navy apologized very highly! Don't get excited! If you have something to say, haha, it's all a family of the world government! ”

"That's pretty much it." Seeing that Sengoku's temperament was almost worn out, Shen Ming finally revealed a little of his scheme: "An apology from the empty white fangs, I want to redeem Ace, who has a bounty of 550 million Bailey, and the admiral Akainu, who is stronger and more important...... Marshal of the Warring States, I have to say, you are really scheming! ”

"Cunning fellow!" After the Warring States secretly pondered, he said in a tone that almost nodded his head: "Ha, where can this be?" A verbal apology is just a gesture, but of course, there is some compensation for the offense and fright. ”

At this point in the negotiations, the initiative has been completely in the hands of Shen Ming. The rule of language in high-level negotiation is that it is best not to let yourself say your own interests, but to guide the other party to say your own interests from the other party's mouth, so that the other party will more easily agree with the interests that are led to come up with the interests. This is the standard practice to maximize benefits. Whether it is in negotiation, or in job hunting, courtship, or sales, this principle is universal: it is always easier to achieve one's goals than to impose.

Shen Ming was secretly happy, but on the surface, he looked indifferent, and even a little disdainful: "Compensation? The dignified navy would care about the idea of my little king and compensate me? The majesty of the Celestial Dragons, the life of the king, can a little compensation be made up for and saved! ”

"This ......" Warring States rolled his eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "Of course not." The majesty of the Draconians is supreme, and the life of the king is worth more than ten thousand gold. Apologizing and making amends is just my marshal's personal attitude, and it does not mean that I want to use them to make you forget about it. When Akainu returns, I will punish him severely and make him apologize to you! ”

"I'm not an unreasonable person." Shen Ming got cheap and behaved, and said reluctantly: "Since this is the case, I will listen to your attitude, how much sincerity there is." ”

Sengoku was in a nervous mood. Sincerity? This is saying, what compensation will I give him?

"What compensation do you want?" Sengoku asked cautiously.

Shen Ming looked unwanted and said, "Did I beg for compensation?" Actually asked me what compensation I wanted? It seems that you are really insincere, and there is no need for this conversation to continue! ”

Warring States was so angry that he almost wanted to scold his mother: This is not it, that is not it, what do you want? Apologize for saying empty mouth and white teeth, make amends to you, you don't care again, what do you want? How does Lao Tzu know what compensation will make you feel sincere?!

"Don't! Wait for me to think about it. Despite this, the Warring States on the phone still looked good-tempered and said: "How about I send a warship with a lieutenant general and three captains to patrol the vicinity of the Great Sui Dynasty all year round to ensure that the Great Sui Dynasty is not invaded by pirates?" ”

To be honest, the sincerity of the Warring States was enough. If this proposal had been placed in other countries, the king would have been happy. After all, this level of power, unless it is a top pirate such as the Seven Martial Seas and the Four Emperors, or some pirates appear, otherwise generally speaking, no pirate can beat this warship! And those sea pirates generally only appear in the New World, and in the first half of this great voyage, this power is almost invincible! This is tantamount to putting the kingdom in a safe, and it can almost be said to be a peace of mind!

Shen Ming was dissatisfied and said: "A lieutenant general and three captains want to change to a general?" That's a good thing for you. Besides, my Great Sui has the ability to capture the Red Inu, and I still need your warship? ”

Sengoku felt like he was going crazy. Why didn't I find out that this Nephilutari clan was so difficult to talk to? The former king of Alabastan, Kobra, was a very knowledgeable and amiable king!

"That...... What do you think I should do? "Warring States really don't know what Shen Ming is thinking.

Karp was stunned.

Who is the person on the other end of the conversation? It can make Sengoku so low-voiced! Even the strongest man in the world, Whitebeard...... It's simply impossible to make Sengoku look like this!
