During the pause, after seeing that Viscount Norris still didn't take a sip of the tea in front of him, he nodded slowly and responded with a smile again: "Sounds really exciting...... Alas, but I can only refuse the kindness of His Excellency the Viscount. I seem to have been born with a dislike of money. Instead of raising the price like this, I'd better manage my one-third of an acre of land well. ”

Rejected again, the smile on Viscount Norris's face finally dimmed slightly. However, this did not seem to surprise the other party, he took off his top hat and handed it to the entourage next to him, and laughed coldly: "President Arrow, I seem to have missed a point. It's not so much a collaboration I hope to have with you...... It's better to say that the 'advice' I gave you is a little better, right? ”

Arrow shook his hand holding the teacup slightly, and asked with the same smile, "Excuse me, what does this mean?" ”

"Meaning, this is the best option for President Arrow. Of course, compared to what President Arrow did in the capital, I would better accept my advice. ”

Gently, a drop of tea swayed out of the cup, wetting Arrow's fingers.

He looked up, his eyes constantly surveying the viscount in front of him, trying to see something in his smiling eyes.

However, the man was unmoved, and there was no indication in his eyes that he knew much about things.

From an economic point of view, in the process of negotiation, the other party thinks that he has a lot of information about the other party and can greatly suppress the other party's asking price, which can be regarded as a threat, but it often has a very good intimidation effect.

Oh, yes...... If, purely from an economic point of view.

Arrow put the teacup on the table, clasped his hands on his thighs, and said with a smile, "That's really thanks to His Excellency the Viscount for his kindness." But I really don't know what the capital has to do with me? Therefore, I can only reject this suggestion of yours. Ah, since we are talking about cooperation, then I also have some ideas on my side, doesn't Your Excellency the Viscount want to learn how to run a guild? Then why don't you let the guild under your name be managed by our Mermaid Song first, and I thank you for being able to command your guild operation remotely in Pelican Town? I don't need the cost of the 100 gold coins, so how about I get paid for 10% of your guild's income? ”

Finally, the smile on Viscount Norris's face disappeared completely.

Now he began to constantly look at the opponent in front of him, trying to see something in the eyes of the short man.

After a long time, Viscount Norris finally retracted his gaze, exhaled a little, and said, "Actually, I really don't want to come this far. Since President Arrow won't help, let's put this topic aside and talk about the next project. ”

This made Arrow a little surprised, so there was a next hand?

"President Eero Garcia, from the best of things, I appreciate your talent. But since you won't cooperate with me, then I'll have to settle for the next best thing, hoping to buy your guild, Merfolk Song. ”

As soon as this proposal was spoken, the members behind it all exploded one by one! Especially Coco had already seen that this viscount was unhappy, and immediately shouted loudly: "What do you mean?!" Do you want to get rid of us from here?! ”

Viscount Norris just smiled, and waited until Coco was pulled behind by Cream to cover his mouth before he said slowly: "It's said that it's an acquisition, but in fact, everything in the whole Mermaid Song is business as usual after the acquisition." You can continue to manage the guild as well, and all guild members here will not change in any way. Of course, if President Arrow wants to reduce or increase the number of personnel, I don't care. Even if you, President Arrow, want to resign yourself, I don't have any opinion. ”

Hearing this, Coco in the back quieted down.

"But on the other hand, I want to be able to get 67 percent of the Mermaid's income, which is two-thirds. And in the future, I hope that you will fully respect my side of the opinion on some major guild decision-making issues. ”

"Correspondingly, I won't be stingy with the purchase price, judging by the current value of your guild...... In addition to you, there are four guild members on your side, each member has two hundred gold coins, and I will pay for the acquisition of eight hundred gold coins, how about it? ”

If everything can stay the same, but there are 800 more gold coins in one breath, it will be like a dream!

After hearing this proposal, Coco, who had been hostile since just now, finally melted her eyes, she looked at Viscount Norris in great surprise, and said softly: "Is this person really a good person?" ”

Cream also frowned, pinched his chin and said, "I don't know." But so much money? In addition, after the acquisition, we will be able to continue to operate regardless of the increase or decrease of our members...... How do you look at it, how do you think it is so beneficial? ”

Brad touched the back of his head, looking confused: "Hmm...... I don't really understand, do you think that's good? Parfay, you and I are both worth two hundred gold coins at once, it should be a good thing, right? ”

Parphy quickly opened her cloth bag and said with a happy face: "Are you going to sprinkle pollen and celebrate?" ”

For this, Arrow does not blame his own members.

After all, they were all happy from the bottom of their hearts that the guild could make money, so Arrow understood their current feelings.

But from another point of view, Arrow now has to face the viscount in front of him head-on.

"Eight hundred gold coins...... If it's a thousand gold coins, I'd consider it. ”

The corners of Viscount Norris's mouth twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but laugh: "President Arrow, are you bargaining with me?" Don't be offended, I have a bad remark, it stands to common sense that the Mermaid Song is far from worth that without the High Priest's presence. What's more, the success of the previous guild war was also due to this high priest, right? ”

Airo lightly clasped the table, the expression on his face did not change, and continued to smile: "If you really want to buy, then I can also sell." How about 1,000 gold coins, no two prices? ”

For this price, the viscount's expression clearly showed his refusal. To be honest, this expression surprised Arrow. After all, there is only a difference of two hundred gold coins in the middle, and he can show such disgust?

Could it be ......

"President Arrow, I'm here to do business with you. 800 gold coins, I also have the same price. Then, I don't care how much money you have in your Mermaid Song account, and when we sign the acquisition agreement, I'll take it out and go back to me. I think that's a great way for you to do that, because you can spend as much money as you can before we sign a formal acquisition agreement, and the more you spend, the more you earn, and that's the biggest concession I can make. ”

It seems that this is really non-negotiable.

Eero exhaled slowly, turning his head to look out the window at the sky. He poured himself a new cup of tea and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, you see that the weather is really good now, although our Pelican Town is small, there are also some interesting and interesting things to eat and play. Why don't I show you around our town? ”

On the other side, Viscount Norris's complexion also gradually softened. He looked up and down at Arrow for a long time, and as if he had received some answer, he nodded slightly: "The scenery of your town is indeed good. The air is fresh and the townspeople are welcoming, and it's really laid-back to use as a holiday destination. President Arrow, I thought you might be able to get involved in building your Pelican Town? After all, apart from the laid-back atmosphere, your town doesn't have any unique scenery. ”

Arrow laughed and said, "Oh? That's a really good proposition. Thank you, Your Excellency, Viscount, I will consider it. ”

The Viscount also smiled, he glanced down at the tea on the table, shook his head slightly, stood up, and put on his top hat again: "In that case, then I won't trouble President Arrow." Lagoon City still has a lot to deal with, so I'll get ahead of the curve. ”

Ai Luo also hurriedly got up and stretched out his hand to greet: "Ah, then please have a good trip!" Brad, come and see off Your Excellency. ”

Brad hurriedly answered the call and ran over, and together with Arrow, he and the two of them saw off the viscount into the carriage. After another greeting between the two sides, both of them had smiles on their faces, until they galloped away under the curtain of the carriage.

After the carriage had completely disappeared from view, the smile on Arrow's face relaxed slightly. Correspondingly, his brows were furrowed tightly, looking very embarrassed.

It looks like he's been remembered.

Although judging from the development of things, Arrow felt that sooner or later he would also go head-to-head with this lord. But according to his vision, this head-to-head confrontation would occur at most when the second guild war was held this winter.

But I didn't expect that this was just entering the spring, and trouble came to the door.

And most importantly, the viscount was so determined about the difference of two hundred gold coins that he didn't even have the slightest room for bargaining.

Some ominous thoughts drifted through Arrow's mind, and for a moment, it was as if he felt the cold breath of winter come again.

I just want ...... It's all just an illusion that I'm thinking too much.

Shaking his head, Arrow turned. Seeing that the members were all looking at them with very puzzled eyes, they couldn't help but smile, sat back on the chairs in the rest area, and said, "It looks like you have a lot of questions." Well, what's the problem? As long as I can answer it, I will answer it well. ”
