Chapter 1110: Negotiation (Part II)
"Reputation, that's not how it is calculated," Ben smiled wryly, "Santas is just a small organization, it is rare to be lucky enough to climb a large organization like the Persimeda Chamber of Commerce, and now it is an extremely honorable thing to be favored by the Magician Alliance, but as a small organization, you may not be able to understand the ......"
"Are you against it?" The white-bearded man simply asked.
"I'm not against it, I don't even want Santas to lose such a good development opportunity, it's just, it's just that our situation is really difficult...... "Ben looked helpless.
"Embarrassed? Where is there anything to be embarrassed about? The whitebeard was even more puzzled, "A rare good opportunity, and the reputation will not be damaged, is there anything better than this?" ”
"Well, maybe, that's because I think about things differently......" Ben shook his head.
"Okay, the three masters of the Mage Tower, you only need His Excellency Angelica to take his position!" Inch head white beard.
As soon as he said this, the others were even more afraid to speak.
I stood up and said: "What this sage said is also right, reputation does not mean that there is no loss after compensating for liquidated damages, in this matter, Santas's decision will change or determine the perception of many outsiders and organizations about us, this is Santas's, well, I call it an image, our image, just like a person's impression on others, a person who keeps his promises, and a person who is willing to pay the price after breaking the contract, is not the same after all, So, Santas is the same, our reputation, after all, is irretrievable ......"
The white-bearded man looked at me a little unkindly, and his mouth changed to the previous arrogance: "This is the Bijon Blood Hammer who invented a lot of new goods, right?" Didn't you just say that you supported His Excellency Angelica? What, repentant? ”
"No, no, no! Venerable messenger," I shook my head, "I have only stated my understanding, and as for how to decide, I still believe in the thoughts and foresight of the three sages, whether to use our image in exchange for a high fortune, or to keep my own image and refuse this hard-won good opportunity?" ”
"Hehe, it seems that you are still opposed." The white-bearded man sneered.
"No, I don't disagree," I said, "and I don't approve either." ”
Angelica glared at me meaningfully and quickly.
"If you understand," Leo said, "why bother to show it so obviously, and isn't it a TV series, afraid that the audience won't be able to read the interaction between the two of you?" ”
"Alright, let's ask Your Excellency Angelica to make plans as soon as possible!" The white-bearded man has lost his patience, and there is a sense of "if you don't decide again, Lao Tzu will turn his face".
"Then ......," Angelica looked around and said lightly, "let's refuse!" ”
"Obedient......" Leo smiled.
The white-bearded man's expression froze.
Others were also full of surprise, including the Ann Trustee.
Only Ben, with a helpless wry smile.
"Why, what?" The white-bearded man came to his senses, his face was incredulous, his voice raised a lot, and he glanced at me by the way.
"Frank is right...... Angelica also glanced at me, but the second sage was mentioned in her mouth, "We are magicians, not a group of businessmen, if the Magicians Alliance came to us to study magic together, maybe I would not hesitate to agree, but, business is such a troublesome and laborious matter, I don't think there is such a trouble, in fact, whether it is the Magicians Alliance or the Permeada Chamber of Commerce, there are countless people waiting to cooperate with you every day, we are too insignificant, swaying between you, Nor is it a wise choice......"
"That means you're going to reject the kindness of the Mage Alliance?" The whitebeard already has some threatening connotations.
"That's right." Angelica nodded, "I know, it's really irrational to refuse an invitation from a huge organization, but the powerful alliance of magicians can't deprive Santas of the right to operate in the trading market plane because of this trivial matter, right?" ”
The white-bearded man's face became more and more unkind: "Please confirm again, does Santas want to refuse the kindness of the Magician Alliance?" ”
"Please confirm it too," Angelica's tone became pitiful, "if we refuse, we will lose the right to operate the trading market plane, and we, as we should, will give into......"
"Uh......" The white-bearded man was stunned, but he was choked by these words.
"So, my lord the envoy," Angelica looked like a little girl searching for the waves, "is it true that we are really going to be disqualified?" ”
"If that's the case, we'd better say yes!" The trustee suddenly stood up and said, "Losing the right to operate the trading market plane is an unbearable blow for us, if the future of Santas declines because of us, we can't afford it, if you feel embarrassed, we also agree to sign a contract, we have to take responsibility, we will bear it together!" ”
"Yes!" Another steward also stood up, "Reputation is important, but in the face of survival, reputation is nothing, and if we can make a deal with the Magician Alliance, our reputation will not be seriously damaged......
"Yes, Angelica Sage!"
"Angelica Sage ......"
The rest of the people also took a stand.
"Angelica Sage ......" Ben couldn't help but say, "I take back what I just said, let's agree......"
"Ha, hahaha!" Leo laughed, "This old boy, you don't need me to change your words!" It seems that I have a tacit understanding with the big beautiful girl! ”
"Isn't it my acting skills?" I say.
"Don't put gold on your face." Leo said.
The white-bearded man listened to us and said yes, but his face turned gloomy.
"You guys!" He grimaced, "What do you think of the Mage Alliance?" Is the Wizards' Union an organization that bullies the weak in your eyes? ”
"Well, we didn't say that......" Ben looked innocent.
Angelica continued, "The Wizards' Alliance is certainly not an organization that bullies the weak! ”
"But you! Me, when did I say that the League of Wizards would make fun of your shopkeepers? "The white-bearded man is almost angry.
"Oh, that means we won't cancel our franchise?" Angelica asked.
"Of course!" The whitebeard eased slightly, "This is not the same thing as doing business in partnership!" ”
"I see...... Angelica patted her heart, "then I'll be relieved." ”
"So, did you say yes?" The whitebeard began to improve his mood.
Angelica had a smile on her face that even I thought looked good, and she said word by word: "We, refuse!" ”
The whitebeard's expression froze again.
"You're kidding me!" He finally got angry.
"No, no, no, we don't have the guts!" "We're just scared of losing the right to run the market. ”
"I repeat, it's not about the right to run the store in the market!" Whitebeard reiterated, "Why do you still refuse? ”
"Because we won't have to cancel the right to operate." Angelica took it for granted, "The Wizards Alliance just wants to cooperate with us, and it doesn't force us to cooperate, so we have the right to choose independently, and we just exercise this right." ”
"Do you know the consequences of doing this?" The whitebeard gritted his teeth and said.
"It's just a little less money," Angelica said, "For the Magician Alliance, this amount of money is insignificant, and we are not greedy, after all, such a trivial matter as doing business is not worth mentioning in front of magic, of course, we are still very grateful to have such an opportunity, if there is an exchange with the Magician Alliance, we will definitely agree without hesitation, please, you must truthfully convey our thoughts to your superiors, please!" ”
"You! What the hell are you talking about? Do you really want to refuse? This time, the whitebeard finally panicked.
"Of course," Angelica said, "although we are only a small organization, we also have our own plans, if the Wizards Alliance has to force us, we will still give in, but since it is not forced, then let's do what we want, presumably, the Wizards Alliance will not embarrass us, will it?" ”
"Of course...... Won't ......" The white-haired white beard is no longer so aggressive, and even seems to be a little weak-hearted, "But, can you bear to miss such a good opportunity?" ”
Angelica shook her head: "We are not greedy, and we don't need so much monetary income, if this is a test for us by the Wizards Alliance, I believe we have successfully resisted the temptation of wealth, you say, isn't that so?" ”
The white-bearded man rolled his eyes for half a circle, understood, and said as if threatening again: "In this case, I can only go back and report truthfully." ”
"Then there will be the Messenger of Labor," said Angelica, "and I hope that the League of Magicians will feel Santas's sincerity." ”
"In that case, we'll take our leave!" The whitebeard unceremoniously waved his hand, and the skin paper rolled up directly, flew into his hand, and then disappeared.
Then, another person followed, and under Angelica's "retention", he left angrily.
There was a sudden silence in the reception room.
"Well, it's a bit of a whisper." Leo said.
"If you put them in the maids, shouldn't you humiliate them, be so angry that they will smoke, and you have to get some benefits and drive them away?" I say.
"At the very least, you should be tough." Leo said.
Angelica suddenly turned around and asked me directly: "This matter will not end so easily, have you thought of a countermeasure?" ”
"Well, I'll figure out how to deal with it." I say.
