Chapter 1109: Negotiation (I)

Even with me and Ansto, there are ten of us, and we can't change the situation.

On the contrary, because of our identities, they do not hide their disdain for us in their eyes.

"All here?" The first inch-haired white-bearded magician was quite arrogant, "Who are you the supreme steward here?" ”

Everyone looked at Ben, Ben Laocheng was serious, of course he didn't look at me, just nodded: "It's me." ”

"So what are you waiting for them to do?" The whitebeard was even more arrogant, "We should have started negotiations a long time ago." ”

"We have three people in charge of Santas, and we handle our day-to-day affairs in a deliberative manner, so even if I am one of the three, I can't make decisions casually until there are enough subordinate members involved." Ben kept a serious expression, but he was inevitably a little uneasy.

"Let's get started!" The whitebeard took out a scroll written in high-quality animal skin from the space ring and slapped it on the table, "This is the trade agreement we brought, you can read it carefully, and if you agree, you can sign the contract." ”

Ben carefully took the scroll and spread it out, and read it carefully with the two Tatu members.

The two members of the Wizards' Guild sat down in their chairs steadily, waiting for a result.

Those of us who are "unqualified" to get up are naturally not invisible, after all, all of us here are legal professions, and we can read the above terms with a little concentration.

Honestly, this is a domineering but "generous" clause.

The gist of it is - don't cooperate with the Persomeda Chamber of Commerce, cooperate with the Magicians Alliance, and cooperate with the Mercenary Union, there are many benefits, first of all, the bid is one and a half times that of Persomeda, which is already a lot, after all, it is not the kind of rich and wealthy people, and the plot of buying three times, five times and ten times, and then, he also "intimately" said that he would not force Santas to break the contract, but according to the original contract with Persomeda, if we sell it to others, we will pay a high amount of liquidated damages, and the Magician Alliance will be "generous" helped us pay the liquidated damages, and in the end, he also said very domineeringly that except for the Wizards Alliance, no other organization would have such generous conditions, and Santas should seize the opportunity to sign the contract with gratitude.

After reading this, the three Tatu members turned their eyes to me.

"Bihon, come and see." Ben said very gently, in the tone of an elder to a junior, "Although it is a matter for the whole of Santas, your farm is the main production of these goods, so I would like to hear your opinion." ”

Of course, he didn't really take me as a junior, after all, my current identity was a Zero Sage, and to be honest, my authority was a little higher than his.

To say this, it is nothing more than to delay for a moment and ask my opinion.

In fact, Taling will also notify Angelica and Frank to come over.

I made a very humble attitude and said, "My Sainz school and farm are also part of Santas, and the contract we signed with the Persimeda Chamber of Commerce was also in the name of Santas, so I believe that the decisions of the three sages and others will be very rational and fair......"

This is equivalent to throwing the pot, Ben was a little embarrassed, but he still said: "Then, the contract was signed by the first sage, and it seems that she needs to be invited to come in person." ”

"Two sages have been contacted," said Taling, "and the contract with the Persimeda Chamber of Commerce is about to arrive." ”

Soon, the contract of the Persimeda Chamber of Commerce really arrived.

This contract is made of our new paper, which is much whiter than the animal skin paper of the Wizards' Alliance, and it is not inferior in momentum.

The covenant was unfolded, and the crowd began to study it again.

The two members of the Wizards' Alliance seemed to be a little impatient, and the white-bearded man said, "Didn't you say that you can decide, Your Excellency?" ”

"We're going to make decisions after deliberation," Ben re-emphasized, "and I'm only in charge of the affairs here for the time being." ”

"How long will it take?" The white-bearded man became impatient again.

"A few minutes...... Well, you don't have time to finish a glass of Strange Dew," Ben gestured to the drink on the table that had been prepared for them.

The whitebeard didn't drink, as if he didn't like it, and only said, "It's better to hurry." ”

Soon, Angelica and Frank arrived.

"Welcome guests from the Alliance of Wizards!" As soon as she entered, Angelica came up to her, and her voice was much higher than usual—to be precise, she didn't need to be dominant, because she was the lord of the place, albeit in name.

Frank followed her like a loyal butler.

The white-bearded man's eyes lit up, and he quickly stood up, as if he wanted to stretch out his hand to perform a noble salute or something, and his mouth was much more polite: "The leader of Santas in the City of Chaos, Your Excellency Angelica, the Staff of Sprouts, is really admired for a long time!" ”

Although he tried his best to hide it, the strange color in his eyes could be seen by everyone present who was not stupid......

"Just because you still want to touch her?" Leo said quietly, "Do you really think of yourself as a thing?" ”

Angelica didn't give him a chance to touch it at all, and her voice changed from the clarity just now to a slightly low question: "Don't you know, Your Excellency, the City of Chaos is not the official name of Santas?" ”

The white-bearded man with a small head couldn't hold his face a little uncontrollable, and said with a haha: "Ah, is it? I'm sorry, but I didn't do a good job of preparing when I came, I hope you don't get me wrong, we came with sincerity! ”

"Is it that little thing about the Persomeda Chamber of Commerce?" Angelica took the white paper contract, swept her signature and imprint, and looked at the vellum paper.

Half a minute later, she said, "It's really surprising that the Magicians Alliance was alarmed for such a trivial transaction of goods, I wonder why the Magicians Alliance is so interested in our transaction with the Persimeda Chamber of Commerce?" This small trading volume is not as good as a day's income of the mercenary union in a month, right? ”

"This, I don't know," the inch whitebeard said, "I'm just a small representative, representing the decision-making of our alliance, coming to negotiate, I personally feel that this is Santas's opportunity, forgive me for taking the liberty of it, the Wizards Alliance really didn't pay enough attention to Santas before, and some people were still prejudiced, but now it's different, the attitude of the new adults towards the alien race has changed a lot, whether it's Santas, or the El Federation, we have sent representatives to cooperate, so, This time, we also came with sincerity, and I hope that Your Excellency Angelica will consider it carefully and give us an answer as soon as possible! ”

Angelica looked at the terms on the vellum paper and said, "Well, one and a half times the income, paying liquidated damages, is really generous." ”

"Of course," said the whitebeard with some smugness, "that's our sincerity!" ”

"Since it's sincerity, why don't you add more points and count it as double?" Angelica turned to look at him.

"Well, that's what happened beforehand," Whitebeard paused for a moment, then explained, "There is a similar contract with the El Federation, so I gave you the same treatment, but if you think twice as much is better, I can call the shot......s."

The other person next to him seemed to want to say something again, but couldn't help but say nothing.

"Twice as ......," Angelica repeated in a low voice as if she were talking to herself, "and it seems pretty good." ”

"So, please give me a reply as soon as possible!" The whitebeard with a small head became a little proud, "Such an opportunity is also rare......

"What do you say?" Angelica suddenly turned to look at me.

"Hah, kick back!" Leo laughed.

"Me?" I was stunned for a moment, "Well, it still depends on your opinion, ah no, it's everyone's opinion...... After all, I'm just an ordinary member of Santas. ”

"Ordinary?" Leo smirked, "You're kicking too hard this time!" ”

Angelica paused visibly.

Ben asked me for my opinion, and it was for the sake of me that I had become a sage, but now that Angelica is here, and I are playing ball again, it is a bit interesting.

"Your Excellency Angelica," Whitebeard said again, "I don't know much about how you Santas operate, but I think that at this time, you should make the decision. ”

"So, what about you?" Angelica turned to everyone as if she hadn't heard him.

At this time, Frank suddenly said, "It's ...... to interrupt my research for the sake of boring business transactions Forget it, you guys take your time to make up your mind, I'll be on Angelica's side, no matter what you decide, I'm in favor, okay, two distinguished guests, and everyone, I'll go first! ”

With that, he walked straight away.

The white-bearded man was a little displeased, but he disguised it well.

"This is an opportunity for us," Ben said, "but when we signed a contract with the Permeda Chamber of Commerce, we promised to cooperate exclusively, so that Santas's reputation would be damaged......

He sort out the pros and cons, but the far-fetched reason of "reputational damage" is the same as when I rejected Ginya...... Perfunctory.

"Reputation? Isn't reputation all about keeping promises? "The contract between Santas and the Persimeda Chamber of Commerce doesn't contain a clause that is absolutely not allowed to be violated, right?" Obviously, they just proposed a certain amount of liquidated damages that are a little higher than you can afford, as long as you can pay the liquidated damages, Santas's reputation will not be damaged at all, and besides, this liquidated damages are paid by us, and they are not counted in the amount of cooperation, so what do you have to worry about......"
