Chapter 14 Negotiation and Cooperation
It is not easy to get the license to operate an 'auction house', even for Zhao Dabao. Don't look at the time when he told the 'Shang King and Young Emperor', he seemed to be full of confidence, as if he was writing with a handle in his hand. But in fact, Zhao Dabao is not so sure.
If you want to get the license to operate the 'auction house', the mayor of 'Chen Yang Town' is the one who can't be bypassed. From Zhao Dabao's knowledge, this town mayor is an unusually determined royalist. The rights and interests of the royal family, in his eyes, are higher than everything else, even if it is his life and death.
In the future turmoil, I don't know how many city lords and county guards have chosen Mingzhe to protect themselves. Either make compromises, make a living, and wait for the opportunity to regain strength and revitalize the rivers and mountains; Or get out of the maelstrom and escape the maelstrom completely. Only a very small number of local governors really fought for the royal family until the last moment and gave their lives.
Among them, the mayor of 'Chen Yang Town' is even more prominent. Not only did he take the lead until he died; Even all his relatives were with him, fighting to the last and to the point of life. Even as his enemy, he had to be moved and shocked by his feelings.
In the entire 'Stone Axe City', there is only one 'auction house', which belongs to a little prince of the royal family who is not very valued. It is almost an impossible task for this determined mayor to divide a part of the interests that only belong to the members of the royal family and hand them over to others, even if it is just a small piece of 'Chen Yang Town'.
Zhao Dabao didn't think about using his identity as an 'inspector', but this is not a desirable path. The 'Inspection Division' is indeed very deterrent and has enough authority in its hands, but it also depends on who the target is. A staunch royalist like the mayor of the town, he had no feelings for the 'Inspectorate' at all. The heart is selfless and the world is wide, and the people themselves are always from the position of the royal family, and they are obviously not afraid to deal with any 'inspection department' that opposes the empire and the royal family.
This is a world of immortals, and many methods of framing will not play any role. I don't know how many magic weapons and secret techniques there are to trace the truth and penetrate people's hearts, and once you do this, the end is often extremely tragic.
The 'Inspection Division' is not a monolithic organization, and the intensity of intrigue is even far greater than that of other types of institutions such as the government and sects. You must know that the 'Inspection Department' is equivalent to a secret service agency on the faΓ§ade. These spies who specialize in all kinds of shady deeds are intrigued, and their methods are not comparable to ordinary people.
After thinking about it for a long time, Zhao Dabao didn't have a practical way to get it to get the license to operate the 'auction house' from the hands of the mayor. There is no relevant and effective information in his memory, and this time, Zhao Dabao is really helpless.
Zhao Dabao, who really had no choice, even wanted to ask his cheap master to make another move and directly control the town elder. However, such an idea found Wang Dayong's refusal. On your own way, you have to find a way to walk it little by little. This is not a major crisis, success or failure, it is just a difference between whether it can be taken to the next level. Wang Dayong naturally did not make a big deal of Zhao Dabao's request and shot again.
This is also expected by Zhao Dabao! If Wang Dayong really responded, this game would not be able to be played by other players. No matter how special Wang Dayong is, the system will not let him wantonly destroy the balance mechanism of the game and create convenience for a certain player.
The final solution of the problem is still thanks to Wang Xiaoqi. This guy is really good, and there are always some good ideas coming up. Relying on his reminder, Zhao Dabao can be regarded as having a feasible way to solve this problem.
"Since the other party is a royalist and everything is in the interests of the royal family, why not let a member of the royal family give orders to him? As far as I know, the young master's friend, Hu Zhuxiong, the head of the 'Inspection Division' of the 'Stone Axe City', has a bad relationship with the little prince who lives in the 'Stone Axe City'. From him to the point where he spoke, the little prince would not refuse. It's a big deal, just share a little profit with him. A character like him, I don't think I can look down on the business of a stranger like you, the young master, you just need to mean it and get by on face, that is! β
Wang Xiaoqi can get along with such a solution, which does not mean that Wang Xiaoqi's wisdom surpasses that of Zhao Dabao, Wang Dayong and others. Zhao Dabao was limited by experience, and he didn't consider it at all. Wang Dayong meant to let go completely, except for some advice he had encountered at the beginning, he never went to visit Zhao Dabao's things again. This also has something to do with the fact that he is not good at this way, and he has already lost some face the first time, and it is reasonable that he is unwilling to pay attention to these.
After all, they are masters, seniors, and there is such a shelf there. His old face is not impregnable, although it is not revealed, but there will definitely be uncomfortable feelings in his heart. A master must have the appearance of a master, a little thing, you can just do it yourself!
The rest is very simple! Using the mirror-like magic weapon that Hu Zhuxiong gave him before they could be connected with him, Zhao Dabao completely detached his needs from Hu Zhuxiong. Hu Zhuxiong didn't hesitate, and even agreed.
didn't let Zhao Dabao wait long, and the results were returned. Hu Zhuxiong came out, and it was really extraordinary. He didn't say anything to Zhao Dabao, just told him that in an hour, he could directly send someone to the town government to get the business license. As for the rest, Hu Zhuxiong didn't say anything.
An hour later, Zhao Dabao, who had obtained the license to operate the 'auction house', used a virtual communication device to contact the 'Shang Wang Shaohuang'. Tell him directly that he has obtained the license, do you want to find a place to negotiate follow-up cooperation? If you want to talk about cooperation, everyone will meet in one place; If you don't want to talk about it, then act as if he didn't say anything.
The recovery of the 'Shang Wang Shaohuang' was very fast, but after more than ten seconds, there was a reply back. The meeting place was set at the 'Shangwang Restaurant', the property of their 'Shangwang family', waiting for Zhao Dabao's arrival.
The other party's recovery is so fast, which shows how eager the other party is. As for whether the cooperation can be reached, Zhao Dabao has a little more confidence. With Wang Xiaoqi and some pills and equipment refined by Xu Shangru and You Yinniang as samples, Zhao Dabao rushed to the meeting place set by the 'Shang Wang Shaohuang', which was located in the west of 'Chen Yang Town' and near the city gate.
When they arrived at the 'Shangwang Restaurant', the people of the 'Shangwang Family' had been waiting at the door for a long time. In addition to the 'Shang Wang Shaohuang', there are two other high-level leaders of the 'Shang King Family' who are among the people who greet them, and will participate in the next negotiation process.
'Shang Wang Feng Shao', a good brother in reality of 'Shang Wang Shaohuang', also has a lot of net worth and background. He is the partner of the 'Shang King and Young Emperor' from childhood to adulthood, and the relationship between the two is extremely deep. This man is a shrewd man with leadership skills. He majored in accounting and was the chief housekeeper of the 'Shang King Family'.
'Shangwang Old Bone', the founder of 'Shangwang Group', and Li Suxia of the father of 'Shangwang Shaohuang'. Because he was not worried about the 'Shang King and Young Emperor', he was sent to the game. It is the think tank of the 'Shang King and Young Emperor', and the development and growth of the 'Shang King Family' is inseparable from his behind-the-scenes planning.
A negotiation touched the three of them at the same time, which shows how much the 'Shang family' attaches importance to this meeting. This is also what Zhao Dabao expected, others are not clear about the strategic ambition of the 'Shang Wang family', but he is very clear. The 'auction house' is the most important and core industrial layout of the 'Shang Wang family', and it is not surprising to have such a negotiation team.
The more the other party attaches importance to it, the more benefits he can get. If the other party didn't even come to the sun, it would be a headache for Zhao Dabao.
Negotiating, the 'Shang Wang Shaohuang' naturally won't let Zhao Dabao know how much attention he attaches to this. He didn't introduce 'Shang Wang Fengshao' and 'Shang Wang Old Bone' to Zhao Dabao, he just hoped that Zhao Dabao would treat them as ordinary family members.
The 'Shang King and Young Emperor' is willing to pretend, and Zhao Dabao is willing to cooperate. Anyway, he already has everything in his heart, so it doesn't hurt to play with you. Maybe you can use this to earn more benefits for yourself.
This 'Shangwang Restaurant' has not officially opened yet, except for a few elite players of the 'Shangwang Family', there are no other players. The 'restaurant' is mainly for the majority of ordinary players, so in terms of decoration, there is nothing eye-catching.
Such a 'Shangwang Restaurant' will be opened to various towns in the future. Although it is not as big as the 'auction house' will bring huge profits to the 'Shang King Family', it is a key step for the 'Shang King Family' to win people's hearts and build a good reputation. Because the price here is lower than that of other NPCs and players of the same level.
Zhao Dabao doesn't have much interest in 'restaurants'. Ten such restaurants are not as profitable as Ma Seventeen alone. He doesn't intend to win people's hearts, and such a restaurant has no attraction to him. After just a brief look, Zhao Dabao brought the topic to the point, and wanted to carefully negotiate with the 'Shang Wang Shaohuang' on the cooperation of the 'auction house'.
This is exactly what the 'Shang King Shaohuang' wants. The construction of the 'auction house' has already begun, and it is almost finished. If you still can't get the 'business license', then the investment will continue to lose money. This is not what the 'Shang King Shaohuang' and the 'Shang King Family' want to see.
If he had known that the business license of the 'auction house' of 'Chen Yangzhen' would be so difficult to obtain, the 'Shang Wang Shaohuang' would not have chosen 'Chen Yangzhen' as the first stop of the 'Shang Wang family'. But it's too late to say anything now, and Jumei regret pills can be sold in this world. Now they can only passively accept Zhao Dabao's cooperation in the nature of blackmail. Otherwise, they don't know how long they will have to delay before they have the opportunity to open an 'auction house' belonging to the 'Shang Wang family'.
The most important thing in a business like an 'auction house' is a reputation. If you can't be the first, it will be a failure for the 'Shang Wang family'. Not to mention that they have to wait for an unknown amount of time, which is absolutely unacceptable to them.
'Blackmail' cooperation is naturally only the view of the 'Shang family'. In Zhao Dabao's view, the cooperation method he proposed is very fair and reasonable.
The number of eyeballs that an 'auction house' can attract depends not on how many auction items it can offer, how high the auction amount it can create, and not so much on the number of people who participate in the auction. What really determines the eye-catching index of an auction is the number and value of its fine products. Only the real boutique is the decisive factor for the status of an 'auction house'.
In the cooperation conditions proposed by Zhao Dabao, he is responsible for providing such high-quality products. Compared with the role he can play, he only asks for a profit of 30%, and Zhao Dabao still feels that he has suffered a loss at this time. If he hadn't valued the future of the 'Shang Wang Family', he wouldn't have squeezed his profits like this.
The reason why the negotiations will be carried out and the reason why the cooperation will exist is that Zhao Dabao can come up with the license to operate an "auction house" in 'Chen Yang Town'. Therefore, before really starting negotiations, the 'Shang Wang family' naturally first has to verify whether Zhao Dabao can really get it, and the authenticity of the business license he has taken out.
In business, it's not about trust. Zhao Dabao naturally would not refuse the request of such a political party as the 'Shang Wang Shaohuang'. Signaling Wang Xiaoqi behind him to hand over the permission to the 'Shang Wang Shaohuang', Zhao Dabao didn't say a word, and looked at the other three with a smile and carefully checked the paperwork.
Sunk Quan naturally won't have any problems. After confirming that the license was genuine, the 'Shang Wang Shaohuang' and others returned the license to Wang Xiaoqi. The cooperation has not yet been formally reached, and no matter how much you want to get it, the 'Shang Wang family' will not do anything unpopular.
"Brother Shi is really good! We, the 'Shang Wang Family', worked hard and didn't get the permission for a few days, but Brother Shi only got it in half a day. Brother Shi's method of reaching the sky, the young emperor admires it very much! β
"Brother Shang praised it! Little brother is also lucky, where can he deserve the praise of the business brother! Now that the license has been confirmed, is it possible to talk about our cooperation? β
"As it should be! However, Brother Shi, in business, I don't want our cooperation to be negotiated in the end, but ......."
"Brother Shang, what are you talking about? I'm confident in our cooperation! Brother Shang, if you say so, can the younger brother think that you don't plan to cooperate with the younger brother? β
Without waiting for the 'Shang King and Young Emperor' to finish speaking, Zhao Dabao hurriedly interrupted him. He is not a professional businessman, and he doesn't have so much time to accompany the 'Shang King Family' to grind so hard. Talk, yes! But it must be in his Zhao Dabao's rhythm, not as procrastinate as they were used to before.
"If Senior Brother says so, then Little Brother won't be able to say anything more! The senior brother looks like a lover at first glance, and he won't do that kind of small-bellied chicken intestine behavior when he thinks about it. In that case, then I have something to say. β
"Cooperation is possible! However, Brother Shi's conditions are still a little unacceptable to us. You must know that our 'Shang Wang family' is not just opening such an 'auction house' in this 'Chen Yang Town'. Although the Xikequan provided by Brother Shi is precious, how can we just take away 30% of the net profit from the auction of our 'Shang Wang Family' for nothing with such a piece of paper, right? β
As soon as the 'Shang King and Young Emperor' said this, Zhao Dabao understood that the other party didn't take the other two conditions he offered to heart at all. However, this was also expected by him, and he would not have believed that there was a player who could do the next two things he said.
But that's fine, originally he was a little reluctant to pay for the third condition he proposed. At the beginning, it was just a quick mouth, and the words shrank there. Now that the other party doesn't believe it, it's more in his mind to take it back. Even if there are only two conditions, he is sure to take away 30% of the net profit of the other party's auction business, plus the right to supervise the finances.
As long as the right to supervise, Zhao Dabao made the final decision after some careful consideration. Not to mention whether the other party will agree to share the other party's management rights, just wanting to gain Jiang Yibai's allegiance is not something that can be done in a short period of time. Although Zhao Dabao already has a way, he is still unable to set a time limit.
In this way, even if he really won the full strength of business management, he did not have such manpower. Rather than that, it would be advantageous to simply fight for a financial oversight. Anyway, he didn't plan to really participate in the operation, and when he wanted to win such an all-out effort, he was just afraid that the 'Shang Wang family' would play some tricks behind his back and use some small tricks.
With his strength, he doesn't care what the other party does. Therefore, it is completely sufficient to monitor the finances and ensure that your earnings are not lost.
The right to supervise finances is itself a right that you should have as a partner. Even if the other party doesn't want to give it, as long as he first obtains part of the right to operate and manage as a precondition, and then takes a step back, the other party will not refuse.
As long as he takes out his hole cards, it is impossible for the 'Shang King Family' to refuse to cooperate with him. Zhao Dabao has the grasp of this point. Otherwise, there would be no need for him to negotiate with the other party.
