Chapter 48: Bargaining
Looking at the crowded heads in the open space, Liu Yi and the others were somewhat surprised, they didn't expect so many people to come.
Although after some period of hard work, the civil defense organization has recruited many people to join, but now that the catastrophe is approaching, Liu Yi and others thought that most people would only be busy running for their lives, and only a few people are really willing to take up arms to defend their homeland. However, the truth is much more optimistic than expected, far beyond their expectations.
Liu Yi's heart was a little moved, and he looked at Shangguanqi and Ke Rin beside him, only to see that their faces also showed the same expressions as himself.
When the group came to the front of the crowd, several backbone members of the civil defense organization ran over and said: "We have just counted about 2,000 people, and the situation is much better than expected. ”
Liu Yi nodded and said, "Very good, with so many willing to contribute, we have hope of defeating the invasion of the bandits." ”
Ke Rin also said: "With so many people coming, the plan we have made should be fully implemented. ”
At this time, someone in the crowd shouted, "Give us weapons!" We're going to send all those robbers back home! ”
"That's right! Beat these damn bandits! ”
"Let the robbers taste our awesomeness! We Aqiu people are not soft persimmons! ”
The crowd continued to roar with anger, and the people of Aqiu had been full of anger over the years due to the constant incursions of the bandit gate. However, due to the lack of effective organization, the anger of the people had nowhere to vent, and gradually turned into various crimes and law and order incidents, making Yaqiu a place where crime is rampant.
Now with the Yaqiu Civil Defence Organization, many people have finally found an organization to rely on, so while many are busy fleeing, many people still rush to settle accounts with the bandit group.
Listening to everyone's roars, Liu Yi, Shangguanqi and Ke Rin looked at each other, and they all saw excited looks on each other's faces.
Ke Rin whispered to Liu Yi Nunu, "Go up and say a few words." ”
Shangguan Qi also nodded to Liu Yi encouragingly, and motioned for Liu Yi to say a few words to everyone.
Liu Yi was not a person who liked to be in the limelight, but at this time, the enthusiasm in his heart was also ignited, and he no longer shirked at the moment, took the initiative to take a few steps forward, and said loudly: "Everyone is willing to come at this critical moment, which shows everyone's trust in us, please rest assured, we will definitely live up to everyone's expectations!" ”
"Good! You can say that again! Ke Rin took the lead in applauding with a loud voice.
Under his leadership, others also applauded, and the atmosphere of the scene was further pushed to a climax.
Liu Yi continued: "Aqiu City has been invaded by bandits, but from today onwards, Aqiu is no longer a lamb to be slaughtered, we have to fight back, and let the robbers know that the Aqiu people are by no means easy to bully!" We must defend Aqiu with our own hands, so that the robbers will regret their actions and dare not set foot in Aqiu again! ”
"Hit the robbers! Defend Aqiu! The crowd roared at the same time.
Liu Yi's speech completely ignited everyone's passion, and at this time, everyone present no longer had any hesitation, they just wanted to immediately take up arms and go to fight the robbers, and vent their anger and grievances.
"Next, Ke Rin, one of our leading members, will explain the battle plan to you, no matter who everyone is, they must abide by discipline and obey the command, which is not only related to the victory or defeat of the battle, but also related to everyone's life and death, I hope everyone must take it seriously!" After Liu Yi finished speaking, the noisy scene suddenly became silent.
Ke Rin walked up to the crowd, turned on his portable computer, and began to preach to everyone according to the battle plan made in advance.
Liu Yi stepped aside, and Shangguan Qi leaned over and whispered, "That's a good point!" ”
Liu Yi was just about to say a few polite words, when a person ran over and lowered his voice and said: "The security leaders of those large enterprises have sent a call request, asking for a video conference. ”
"Let's go to the room and say, you're here to help." After Liu Yi finished speaking, he pulled Shangguan Qi to a vacant room.
When I turned on the video conference, I saw that the security leaders of those companies were all online, and their expressions were extremely serious, and it seemed that they all knew the news of the imminent attack of the robbers.
Seeing Liu Yi join the video conference, the heads of these security departments immediately couldn't wait to shout: "Mr. Liu, why are you here, you're about to kill us!" ”
"I'm sorry, I was delayed just now." Liu Yi said slightly apologetically.
These people were not polite, it seemed that they were really in a hurry, so they heard someone immediately say: "Mr. Liu, the robbers are coming soon, when will your militia be sent, we only have dozens of security personnel on our side, and we are all counting on your militia to protect us!" ”
"That's it, we've all given money, and now it's time for you to make a difference!"
"Yes, we paid to prevent this, you guys send someone over quickly, my immediate boss is going to flip the table!"
Listening to these people shouting nonsense, Liu Yi always smiled and did not speak, looking leisurely and comfortable. Liu Yi had expected the video conference to be a spectacle, and the heads of the security services would be eager to get the militia to send people to protect the company.
However, Liu Yi had already made up his mind in his heart, no matter how noisy these people were, they must not be led by the nose, which would only lead things to the worst outcome.
Liu Yi patiently listened to the noise of these people and did not make any rebuttals, and finally these people found that Liu Yi did not take their words seriously at all, so they gradually quieted down.
"Mr. Liu, you have something to say! What does it mean to say nothing? ”
"Are you done?" Liu Yi asked.
"Say...... ......"Everyone looked at each other, but they didn't understand what Liu Yi meant.
"Since you're done, I'll say a few words as well."
"Please."
"I know what you just said, but I can't agree to your request. Not only will I not be able to accede to your request, but I also ask that you all send me some men and obey our unified arrangement, so that we can keep the city of Aqiu, otherwise it will ......"
"The surname is Liu! Are you crazy? Someone interrupted Liu Yi with a roar.
Although the others did not speak, the expressions on their faces already spoke for themselves, and they were all very angry at Liu Yi's words.
Liu Yi was not angry, these were all within his expectations, if these people were not angry, it would be abnormal.
"Please listen to me first, and then you decide whether you want to be angry or not." Liu Yi said calmly: "First of all, I want to ask you, what is the purpose of your participation in this plan? Isn't it to protect the security of your business? ”
The people who participated in the video conference looked at each other and didn't understand what Liu Yi meant.
Liu Yi continued: "Since it is for the safety of the enterprise, then I have to ask, if Yaqiu City is occupied by bandits, can your business still be left alone?" Even if we send the militia over, will this alone be able to withstand the attack of the bandits? ”
"What the hell are you going to say? I don't care what happens to other people's families, in short, our company's property must not be damaged! We spend money, you have to keep the contract! ”
"Did I say I didn't keep the contract?" Liu Yi shrugged and said: "What is written in the contract is to ensure the safety of the enterprise, but it is not written that troops must be sent to guard the enterprise to ensure safety, right?" ”
"You...... You're a strong word! ”
"It doesn't matter if it's strong words, the important thing is that only by repelling the bandits' attack can Yaqiu City be safe, Yaqiu is safe, and your business can be safe, you should be able to understand this truth, right?"
At this time, Yan Feng, who had been silent, spoke, Yan Feng was the most prestigious in this group of people, and he was also the first person to participate in the civil defense plan, as long as he could recognize Liu Yi, most of the others would follow suit.
"Liu Yi, I probably understand what you mean, but I don't know if you can do it." Yan Feng said very seriously: "You should know about the affairs of the government army, so many mecha have been defeated in the hands of bandits, and with only those weapons of your militia, I think there is very little hope." ”
Liu Yi nodded and said: "Just looking at the strength on the surface, this is indeed the case, I don't deny this." However, the defeat of the government forces was not due to the disparity in weapons, but to a poor strategy. Therefore, our plan is completely different from that of the government army, and as long as it is strictly implemented, it is not hopeless. ”
"Can you elaborate on that?" Yan Feng asked.
"Not now, and there's no time." Liu Yi said: "If you want your business not to be looted by robbers, then trust us, as long as you drive out the robbers, your business will be safe." To that end, I want you to be part of our operations, and holding on to the business will not drive the robbers away. ”
After Liu Yi finished speaking, everyone fell into deep thought, in fact, they didn't understand this reason, they were just worried that they would not be able to explain to their superiors, but at this juncture, there was no room for them to bargain.
Once they break up with Liu Yi, not to mention the previous money, the company is likely to suffer a lot of losses in the future, and they don't want to do it at that time.
"Well, now we have no choice but to gamble on you!" Yan Feng quickly figured out the key to this problem, and said stubbornly: "We can send about a hundred people to support you, and we can also support you with some vehicles and weapons." ”
"Lao Yan, why did you agree? He's blackmailing! Another said in surprise.
Yan Feng said helplessly: "Old Hu, there is no other choice now, otherwise we will all be unlucky, and the only hope is to gamble." ”
Seeing that Yan Feng had already expressed his position, the others also expressed their willingness to follow Yan Feng's approach and give some assistance to the militia.
Although they were reluctant in their hearts, time was pressing, and there was really no room for bargaining, and the blame could only be blamed on the fact that the government army was defeated so quickly and completely, leaving no time for these big companies to react.
