When Rose and I arrived at the conference room, it was already full, and it seemed that the negotiation was not very smooth, at least the expressions of both sides were not so happy. Seeing me and Rose appear at the door, both sides immediately stopped. Red Moon quickly stood up. "Purple Sun, Rose, you're finally back." As she spoke, she turned to the group sitting across from it. "This is the president and treasurer of our guild."
"Hello." A few people also stood up in the crowd sitting opposite. The one in the middle is introduced. "I am Al, the president of the Imperial Alliance. The one on my right is Eugen, the president of the Eugen Chamber of Commerce, and the one next to me is Sirilisi, the president of the Business Alliance. The one to my left is Michelle, the leader of the Celestial Alliance, and the next one is Boranthal, the president of the Crusaders. β
"Hello." I hurriedly pulled the rose to the conference table, and several guards immediately moved two chairs up.
There were not a few people who participated in the negotiations. Although Al, the president of the Imperial Alliance, only introduced the four people around him, in fact, there was a large group of people sitting behind him. After I sat down, Red Moon secretly told me that the people on my side were actually guild leaders who participated in this gambling, but their capital input was much smaller than that of these five major guilds. We are not the only ones who are involved in the negotiations. In addition to me and Rose and Red Moon, Su Mei, Xiao Yao, Feng Yi Miao, and Ah Xiufu are all here. In the row behind us sat a dozen of our guild's thinkers, including the members of the special unit that General Wu had assigned to me. There were more than 20 people on both sides, and this was the first time we had encountered such a large-scale negotiation. Because Zero's game map is not only modeled after the real world, but also has a lot of special spaces, the actual map is larger than the Earth's area. Because of this, the game is sparsely populated in the mainland, so the contact between guilds is not very frequent, and naturally it will not be like in other games where something can be done all over the server.
After Rose sat down, she immediately turned her head and asked Hongyue: "We were still fighting when we left, and it was only one night, how did it suddenly become the final negotiation?" β
Before Red Moon could explain, Al on the other side replied first, "Miss Rose." The reason why we stopped the war and changed to negotiations was actually driven by interests. You two may not know it yet, but last night, our men had suddenly divided their forces to surround the headquarters city of the Iron Cross and this Isenger of your guild, and in addition, the two big ships in your harbor were also under our control, so ......! β
"Stop." I didn't let Al continue. "Since Mr. Al is here to negotiate, then I think we should first put everyone on an equal and fair footing, and since Mr. Al has no sincerity in negotiating, then I don't think there is any need for us to continue talking."
"Huh?" Al was choked by my words and didn't know what to say. The leader of the Celestial Alliance next to him, Michel, said in a very bewitching voice: "What does President Purple Sun mean?" Isn't it enough that so many of our presidents have come all the way to your territory to negotiate regardless of their own safety? β
"Miss Michelle is talking crookedly. Negotiation means that senior officials should consult with each other, and you presidents should come to talk in the first place, and this cannot be regarded as your sincerity. As for the location of the negotiation in our guild, it is indeed dangerous to say, but in fact it is also a fallacy. You are negotiating envoys, and even if we wanted to, we would not be able to do anything at such a time. Do you think that we are uncivilized savages? If you really think we are barbarians. That means you didn't intend to respect us in the first place. Since you don't respect us, what are you talking about? If you don't think that we are uncivilized savages, then you know that you will not be treated by us when you come here. Since you know that it won't be good if you come, but you take this as a sign of sincerity, don't you think you're a little excessive? β
Michelle was blocked by me for a while, and as soon as Al next to him wanted to continue talking, I rushed ahead of him and continued: "Tell me what Mr. Al said just now. What does it mean to divide your troops to defend the headquarters city of Isenger and the Iron Cross? And also controlled our two super warships? If you do, what's the point? Anyway, you have taken the strategic initiative, and you have all hit our hometown, and you almost pinched us to death like pinching ants. Obviously there is such a big advantage, what else are you talking about? Don't tell me sΓΉ, I'm saying it's for world peace or something. I might be able to believe it in the current world, but it's a game, and don't you think it's ridiculous to use that kind of thing as an excuse? If you don't do what you just said, encircle and control. That means you're lying to us. Since you're all liars, what am I going to talk to you about? Are you willing to negotiate with a bunch of crooks yourself? Let's dig another ten microseconds. Even if you do surround us, it will be in vain. Ichengh's spatial jumping abilities have been demonstrated many times, and there is no need to keep them a secret here. Do you think your man will be able to catch the space-jumping Issinger? As for our battleship Jaws. You may be able to wound and sink him, but it is a dream to capture or capture him. To tell you the truth, if we can build one, we can build a second one. It's nothing more than a matter of money. You can't threaten me yet. As for the headquarters city of the Iron Cross. You can just fight, my Issinger can be space-jumping anyway, if I teleport directly to England or France at any cost. Which of your cities is equipped with a city-level weapon defense system? You should have seen the destruction of the headquarters city of the Beast Alliance, dare to ask, how many of your cities do you think my Issinger can kill at the same time as you destroy the headquarters city of the Iron Cross? Okay, that's all I'll say for now. Give you half an hour to discuss, and if you understand the current situation, then wait here and continue negotiations with us. If you still feel that the situation is in your hands as you say, then leave before I return. After saying that, I stood up and said to the Red Moon, "Let's go, leave this place for them to think about it slowly." β
I walked out of the room with the dazed Red Moon and Ashford, and the look of the Anglo-French guild president on the other side was in doubt. Until there was a bang and the door was slammed shut. They woke up. Before they could begin their discussion, the door suddenly opened again. I stuck out my head and added. "It's only half an hour." After saying that, I closed the door again with a heavy load.
The room exploded, and the heads of the Anglo-French guilds chattered and discussed together, and the scene was much more lively than just now. The demonic-looking Michelle complained, "This is trouble. Originally, we had almost deceived them by beating and suppressing them, and as soon as the president came back, it was all a mess. β
Al also nodded and said: "This purple sun is indeed a task, don't eat soft and hard!" Deterrence does not work at all against such people. I could tell from the look in his eyes that he was really capable. And we are dead and broken. β
There was a heated discussion in the room, and there was no end to it outside. I pulled out the wind and the asford. This will be discussed in breakout groups. Rose whispered to me, "Why do you say so much?" What if they really have the backbone and we have a hard top? β
"I'm afraid they won't be hard topped." I laughed and pulled the rose over and slapped her on the head. "Your genius brain turned out to be inferior to me!"
"Cut, don't say pull down."
"Hey, say, of course I'm going to say. Don't you say that you are not looked down upon by my beautiful wife? Actually, I'm thinking about the big picture. It is not impossible to really negotiate with these people, the key is to take the maximum advantage. If we continue to talk about it like this. The interests have been scraped by them, and we are still a fart? So, instead of that, it's better to be tough on them. If they don't have the backbone, then our guild will be rich, and we will be able to reap a lot of benefits from it. But if they have the backbone, then really get their hands dirty. What do you think they will do if their guild city is destroyed? β
"Of course, it cost money to fix it. Oh...... I understand! "Rose's little head melon is still very smart, and it can be understood at one point." I understand that these guilds will go back to repair the city, destroy some of our forces, and escalate the war. It costs money to build cities and wage war. The money played in the game is definitely not enough, and the only way is to come in from outside the game and then buy strategic materials from the players and the system store. The system store is equivalent to the store opened by the dragon's edge, although some of the resources in the player's hands are dropped when fighting monsters, but most of them are dug up by finding minerals. These mines are nothing more than spawned by the system. It doesn't actually cost Dragon's Edge money, but players who dig will love the game more because they profit from it, increasing the popularity of Zero. At the same time, these players also have consumption when mining, which is the money that Long Yuan can actually earn, as well as the taxes generated by his in-game transactions, and the further consumption that these people promote after they have money. The money flows through different channels, and in the end, it will still come into Long Yuan's pocket. So, those British and French will really fight. The money went into the pocket of Long Yuan, and if they didn't fight, the money went into the pocket of our Frost Rose Alliance, and the result was basically the same. Entering the Frost Rose League Pocket and entering the Dragon Edge Pocket are not both in your pocket, the difference is only that one goes into the left pocket and the other goes into the right pocket. Poison, really-poison! β
"What are you two nagging about?" Ashuford ran over and asked anxiously, "Ziri, why were you so tough just now?" It's really pushing them into a hurry, your Isenger can run, but my city won't move! β
"Don't worry! They won't fight. β
"How can you be so sure?" Ashuford asked uneasily.
"Don't understand this?" I pointed to the lounge next to me and motioned for everyone to go in first and wait for those people to discuss slowly, while explaining, "Think about it yourself, the battle has been fought so far, and the situation is already very clear. Since the British and French guilds will come to negotiate, it means that they have reached the point of exhaustion. This battle had nothing to do with them, the gambling was opened by themselves, and they did it if they didn't win the bet, and now they found that they couldn't fight and came to negotiate again, which was equivalent to touching in their faces. If the British and French will have backbone. It shouldn't have been mixed in the first place. It is understandable that the purpose of opening a gambling plate is to make money, but if you lose the bet, you will join the war by yourself, which is already a spineless table. The bookmakers themselves play the game, a move that has already lost their face and credibility. If this can be considered a temporary struggle, then this time they came to negotiate with us, it is definitely an act of bullshit to treat self-esteem as bullshit. They have already torn their faces, and they are embarrassed to crawl over to negotiate, such an act can only be done by a completely spineless group. So, it's a guarantee that they have no backbone, and even if I am tough this time, they won't puff up their chests and fight us. β
"But you shouldn't take any chances! In case they ......! β
"First, there is no contingency. The plan I predicted was 100 percent, and there was absolutely no chance of saving zΓ i. Second, Rose and I have just gone online, and we don't know anything about the specifics, so we need to talk to you first. I said that I gave them half an hour to think about it, but in fact, I needed time to understand the situation. Third, since their behavior is actually begging with their tails wagging, there is no need to leave them names. A beggar should behave like a beggar, and beg sincerely with a pitiful appearance, and as for whether he is willing to give alms, that is our business. You guys are so bad that if I hadn't shown up in time, it looks like you're going to finalize the result with them. The whole negotiation is completely guided by the other party, and you are actually discussing with them as if you were talking about business. This kind of thing is in our hands, what to discuss with him? Set out the conditions, promise to agree, and if you don't agree, we will leave the negotiating table and continue on the battlefield. β
Rose also helped me and said: "The point of negotiation is to highlight one's own strengths and find out the weaknesses of the other party, always press the other party to talk, and control all the topics in your own hands." Now these Anglo-French guilds have no advantage at all, and you don't have to be polite to them at all. β
"Well, that's the way it is. Luckily, we came back and stopped it in time. Now tell me about the situation. Half an hour later, I went back to continue to talk to them, and this time I won't be called Ziri if I don't squeeze them out of their bones. β
