I smirked at the guy, "Can we have a formal conversation, then?" ”

"Of course, please come with you!" The attitude of this leader is obviously to recognize our strength, so that the next negotiations can be carried out on an equal footing, and I can ask for more things.

When I followed the guy to the gangplank, I suddenly remembered something, and quickly stopped and said to the MMs on the boat: "Watch the boat, don't let these people come up again, if they come close, beat them for me." ”

Speaking of this, the boss of the White Shark Clan remembered and ordered loudly: "You all come back, let go of our guests, don't be so unreasonable." ”

Our players were freed, and the White Shark soldiers left our ship. But the captain of the guard kept glaring at me, and it didn't seem to be so easy to get along with.

Following their boss into the opponent's battleship, I found that this battleship was actually not as small as I thought, on the contrary, the size of this guy is really rare. This big guy is in the shape of a giant shark. The thing that was thought to be a bridge at first was actually just the dorsal fin of a shark, and it's not clear what was inside, not a bridge anyway.

The entrance to this big creature is a small door on the shark's back, and it looks like it's a giant dive carrier. After entering the interior, you must first use an elevator that goes up and down for a certain distance, and the elevator is a huge space. This is the interior of the Shark Mothership, which is actually a large harbor with a lot of small Shark ships parked here. The large shark's mouth has a waterproof door similar to that of Atlantis, but it is larger enough to allow the small shark boat to enter and exit at will.

After going down to this port, we kept walking backwards. Finally entering a room that resembled a meeting room, the rest of the retinue withdrew, leaving only the leader and two women, one older and one younger.

I looked at this huge luxurious room and exclaimed, "That's huge!" Such a luxurious warship is terrifying, and your strength seems to be very strong! ”

"This thing hasn't been touched in hundreds of years, and if it weren't for the fact that we were going to receive this huge batch of magic crystals this time, we wouldn't be willing to start this guy."

I nodded, "However, this time the business is so big, you made the right choice to use it." Merfolk attack our fleet, and we can't be sure they won't attack you too, because as long as you get these things, the sea will be in your pocket. ”

The Shark Patriarch smiled: "Matsumoto-kun is really good at selecting his subordinates, and he actually sent such a powerful negotiator as Your Excellency." ”

"Me? Are you mistaken? I'm not an expert negotiator. ”

"Your Excellency, don't be so modest, you know from what you just said that you are not an ordinary person. Besides, Song Yuanjun himself stayed to delay time, but he sent you here, and said that you are not an expert? ”

I deliberately pretended to be nonsense and said, "Did I say anything?" Besides, I was sent simply because I was the captain of the Sakura, and there was no special reason for that. ”

"Still won't admit it? Even if you are indeed the captain of that ship, your words are by no means said by ordinary people. ”

"What words? How I don't know. "I won't admit it anyway.

"You just said that we should indeed send such a large warship to pick up the cargo, and you deliberately emphasized that you can dominate the sea if you get the cargo, this is your cleverness."

This old guy is as fine as a monkey, and this little trick is all visible to him. I had no choice but to admit it. "Now that you can see it, I won't argue. However, I want you to understand that what I'm saying is absolutely true, and that things could be harsher. ”

The little girl-like woman said, "Daddy, what are you talking about?" I don't even understand! ”

After all, the little guy is too innocent, and the dumb traces of our old traitors are not clear to her age. Seeing that the Shark Patriarch didn't seem interested in explaining, I didn't wait any longer and continued, "Does the Patriarch think mine has a point? ”

He nodded: "Although I don't want to admit it, I have to admit that you are right." The merfolk clan will not let us be strong, and now they are still afraid of our inventory of magic crystals, but if these magic crystals are robbed by them this time, they will definitely wipe us out in one go, this is too dangerous. ”

"You understand the current situation, and our business will be easy to talk about." Doing business is all about letting the other party know who is in charge, and now it's time to let them know that I'm not in a hurry. Magic crystals are consumables, and sooner or later they can be sold, and there is no waste. But if they can't get the goods, it's a question of whether they can even survive. This is the condition, with this two-party environment, I can sit on the ground and raise the price, anyway, they have to buy, I don't have to sell, and the transaction is not equal every time.

"So what price do you want?" This guy is a little weak when I make him talk, and it seems that he has no bottom in his heart.

I can't push him now, lest he jump off the wall. "Don't be too nervous, we still have the opportunity to cooperate in the future, so we won't ask for a price."

The patriarch of the White Shark Clan wiped his forehead, and his nervous sweat came down. "Then thank you, and in return, I can give you a small warship in my personal name. Our warships are fast, have a long endurance, and have advanced technology, which is very different from the kind of underwater warships you build. ”

I shook my hand, "I don't want rebates, to be honest, I am the majority shareholder of the guild, and taking rebates is equivalent to harming my own interests, so you better concentrate the benefits on the transaction!" ”

"Of course, of course," this guy's momentum is not as good as it was when they first met. My repeated repression has made this old guy more and more emaciated. Demonizing his momentum and consuming his sharpness is the second point of business. Once your negotiator is defeated by your momentum, he will have to follow you. The truth is that the party that leads the negotiation often gets more benefits.

"Well," I said, "first of all, you can introduce the number of items or technologies that can be traded." ”

"Okay, okay," he turned around and pulled out a pile of essays from a cabinet. "This is the technical number jΓΉ directory that I have brought. If you need anything, choose for yourself. And this one, this is our battleship profile, you can choose some as a trading item. Or if you don't like it, we still have this. He took out a small coat of arms, "This is the seal of the sea, which can guarantee that the sea is absolutely calm and will not affect navigation." ”

"I don't need the seal, we have similar equipment. Battleship! To be honest, I can't look down on any of this big guy. ”

"This big one can also be sold, anyway, this thing used to be used for ocean-going warfare, and now we are in danger even on the mainland, so don't think about it in the ocean, it's a waste to keep it. Besides, if we need it in the future, we can still make it! ”

"You sell this big guy too?" I was just a euphemism to say that I didn't want to use the boat to settle the bill, not that I wanted the ship. But this guy actually said that he could sell it! It's hard for me to excuse this, but if you think about it, this thing is not very useful, and it doesn't seem to have any loss to buy it. Anyway, it's to exchange the magic crystal of Little Japan for the things of the White Shark Clan, not to mention that 60% of them are fake and shoddy products! "Let me start by saying that this thing is already an antique that is hundreds of years old, but it is not as good as a new ship, and it can't be repaid with much debt."

"I understand, you can look at it!" This old guy is completely decadent.

"No," the little girl popped up, "I don't agree." ”

"Don't mess around."

"No! Jaws is our pride, a symbol of race, how can it be betrayed? ”

The older woman pulled the little girl and said, "Don't mess around, if there is no magic crystal to replenish our energy barrier, the energy barrier will collapse, if the sea water rushes down, we will all be finished, and your father is also for everyone's survival!" Speaking of which, this is a royal ship, and the most distressing thing is your father! ”

"But...... But......! The little girl suddenly stood up and walked up to me and said, "Why are you so bad?" ”

No way! There is a level to this question! So he pondered: "Am I bad? Kind of a little. Suddenly looked up at her, and pointed to the ground on his left wrist to cover the wrist chakra, "See this little star on it?" This is the mark of evil, awarded only to the most wicked. You get one for every 1000 lives killed, count how many are here? The little girl covered her mouth in surprise and retreated. Hehe, my red name has gone up to the sky, and the display on the obscuring wrist chakra has long been like a star in the sky. "Do you know why I'm so bad?"

"He's the devil!" The little girl was frightened and hid in her mother's arms.

I said to the guy, "Let's go ahead!" ”

"Oh! Kindness! ”

"This ship is a little older, but it's big. And it seems to be well armed, right? ”

"Yes, yes, with Jaws being built a little older, but well maintained and well armed. The most important thing is that many parts are replaceable, if there is any problem, you can directly replace it, and it will be very simple to do technical upgrades in the future. ”

"That's fine." I nodded, "How about this ship count you as a quarter of the cargo?" ”

"Isn't it too little?" The middle-aged woman asked cautiously.

"It's a lot, but although it's big, it doesn't have much practical value. In terms of speed, it can't outrun surface ships; In terms of firepower, it's not very powerful either; In terms of defense, it is even more so-so. The most important thing is that this thing is older than me, and it is about to be scrapped, so many are already a lot. "I feel like a pawnshop owner, an honest man who is exploiting things.

"Then please take a look at the technical manual, and tell us what else you want."

It only took me ten minutes to finish the count, and this white shark clan is definitely not an honest person. This book has a lot of moisture, many of which are peripheral technologies on the edge, there is no core technology at all, and the pedigree is very complicated, even if you take the whole book back, you can't produce actual things. It's really cunning enough, and Gangjun still sympathizes with them, what a waste of feelings!

"This one doesn't have the number jΓΉ we need, I think there should be a second number jΓΉ." I slammed the table of contents down on the table, "I don't want to waste my time if you don't plan to talk about it." I'm sure the merfolk want these things more than you do, and they should pay a good price. I got up and was about to leave, when the old fellow and her woman rushed up and pushed me back into my seat.

"Don't worry! Hold your horses! The old guy grabbed me and said, "It's us who is wrong, it's us who is wrong, you are angry." He winked, and the middle-aged woman immediately took out another book from a secret compartment in the back, "Please take a look at it this time." ”

I took the information and said, "This is the last time, if you can't find a suitable one, I'll leave immediately." ”

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, you will definitely be satisfied this time."

I opened the information and looked at it, and sure enough, it was all core technology, but I found a strict zhΓ²ng problem. The techniques of the White Shark Clan, the mermaids, turtles, and the octopus clans, many of which are duplicated! Just like the current country, they all know some of each other's technology, but the level is somewhat different. It's the same with this white shark clan. There is not much difference between the races on the seabed, and it is not easy to find too many duplicate technologies. After turning over for a long time, there are only two satisfied, but the problem is that these two technologies don't seem to be worth the remaining three-quarters! I opened the two chapters in the material and said, "I really don't know what else to take other than this oscillation restraint technology and this space configuration technology. But these two technologies seem to be worth a quarter at most, what do you think about this? ”

The patriarch gritted his teeth and said, "Is the production technology of the great white shark good?" A buyout that guarantees that you can produce your own ships like the Great White Shark. ”

"I'm interested in this, but if that's the case, I seem to be at a loss!"

"But we really don't have anything to exchange!" The woman said helplessly: "There are so many skills, you don't want a boat, we can't help it!" ”

"Use me." The little girl suddenly stood up, "I'll go with you and make up for the rest." ”

"No," cried the patriarch and her wife.

I looked at the little girl, "Do you have any value?" Our trading is not a simple point or two! Besides, what do I want you to do? Give me a reason why you're worth so much. ”

"The little one is not sensible, you don't pay attention to her." The patriarch tried to distract me from it.

The patriarch's wife hurriedly dragged the little girl outside, but the little girl always resisted awkwardly. When she was pulled to the door, she suddenly grabbed the door frame and shouted, "Take me away, you won't regret it." ”

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Her mother tried hard to pull her out, but she wouldn't let go.

I looked at her clutching the door frame: "Do you have zΓ i value?" ”

Two lines of tears flowed down her face, and she nodded firmly. "I'm royalty, I can make zuΓ² underwater monitors, and all creatures and metals that come close will react."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Her mother wrenched her hand and dragged her out with all her might, but she clung to the door frame and looked at me with a wistful look. "Please, they'd die without the Crystal. Man, Helfa, Luna, and so many others, they're all going to die! Then she couldn't stop crying.

Now my head is a little confused, is this a scam or what? If it's a play, then this little girl's acting skills are too exaggerated! But if it is true, then there are many places where there is a strict conflict with the previous perception. If you think about it, the problem may be in Atlantis. In the description of Atlantis the Great, the White Shark is very brutal and evil. But these situations in front of us are obviously very different from the original statements of the Atlantis people. I didn't see any evil or brutality, but I was rude to our behavior at first. At the moment, all I see is a race struggling to survive, and where else does it look like the invaders described by Atlantis the Great.

I know that it is not right to waver, it is not right to doubt allies, however, I have already begun to waver. There is clearly something wrong with the words of Atlantis the Great, but for what reason? Could it be because of a purely hostile relationship? Just like us and the Americans, they say all day long that China threatens the world's arrangement, and we also criticize the United States for starting a war, but in fact, it is just because we are in two different camps.

The relationship between the White Shark and Atlantis is likely to be similar to that between China and the United States, except that the contradictions are more intense. Both sides simply do not want the other to be strong and threaten their own people, and there is nothing really evil or not.

Am I trying to help them? Saving the White Shark means that you may offend the merfolk and withdraw technical assistance, or die directly with us. But in this way, you can get the technical support of the White Shark Clan, and the technical strength of the two sides is almost the same, and everyone is about the same. If you don't help the White Shark Clan, of course, you won't offend the mermaids, but the problem is that the White Shark Clan is very pitiful, and they were indeed the most powerful undersea race, and they are more useful than mermaids.

It's painful, how do I decide?
