Chapter 13: Bad Compromise

Chapter 13 is not good at compromise

For the sake of this breath, is it worth it?

Li Jie was a little shaken by Zeng Pei's questioning.

In this era of advocating individuality and demonstrating freedom, many people, especially young people, are unwilling to be "wronged", especially at work, because there are many young people who leave their jobs with one or two sentences or even a look.

Now for the sake of this breath, risk yourself and your family, just for a herd of cattle in the game that almost completely cost nothing? Is it really worth it?

Here, I have to say that Li Jie's persistence is not surprising. In their bones, Chinese people don't like to compromise. The most obvious manifestation is that the Chinese people do not like to negotiate.

Throughout the ages, the vast majority of Chinese people have not had the upper hand in negotiations with foreign countries, or even unwilling to negotiate, and even worse, they have been forced to the negotiating table with a gun to the back of their necks.

And the results of the negotiations speak for themselves.

What is lacking is the ability to find a balance and achieve a win-win situation in the contradiction of interests of both sides, or in other words, the lack of this kind of thinking.

Li Jie's silence eased Zeng Pei's emotions: "Husband, I believe in you, think about it, we don't have to use violence to solve the problem." ”

"Uh-huh......" with a low sigh, Li Jie pinched his nose with his hand to relax as much as possible, but his brain began to spin rapidly.

The conversation with Zeng Pei really woke him up. It stands to reason that he should have understood this a long time ago.

You have to learn to compromise and look at things from a different perspective......

What angle......

Being spied ...... Trading Fuel ...... The other side needs a herd...... Fuel shortage......

One thought after another spun in Li Jie's mind.

There seems to be a way, but it only vaguely exists somewhere in my mind, I can feel it, but I can't grasp it.

What is it!

What is it?

Li Jie took a deep breath a little anxiously, exhaled slowly, inhaled deeply, took a few deep breaths, gradually calmed down, slowly stood up, and moved back and forth a few steps, what is it......

Trade... Trade... Fuel oil!! That's right!! Fuel oil!!

Since they are short of fuel, then, changing the trading model can not only make them feel weak, but also can strive for the greatest interests for their own group, and more importantly, can give both sides a perfect step!

Yes!

Thinking of this, Li Jie clapped his hands excitedly, turned around and patted Zeng Pei's face: "Good wife!" How smart!! ”

"I, I've always been smart!" Zeng Pei was stunned for a moment, then deliberately smiled with a smug look, and then asked, "Then what did you think of?" ”

"Keep trading." Li Jie said with a smile.

"Huh?" Zeng Pei was a little dumbfounded. Dare to say it all in vain just now?

"Well, since the other party is unwilling to trade fuel, then I will re-propose a condition acceptable to the other party, and give them the cattle **, so that we don't have what they need, and the crisis will naturally be resolved." Li Jie is colorful.

He didn't say one thing, all of this is based on the fact that the base of the university town still has a basic bottom line.

Although according to the previous judgment, this university town base, although because of the shortage of fuel, but also wanted cattle, and put his group under house arrest, but in general, the reason for doing so is to develop the base and breed cattle, rather than satisfy the selfish desires of individual people. And up to now, there is a bottom line in doing things, and he has not taken forced confessions, and even threatened his family to force his own group.

Only such a base with a bottom line can it be possible to fight for interests, otherwise, if it is the kind without a bottom line, Li Jie will not struggle much, just take people to find cattle.

So, the question is, how to get the maximum benefit for yourself and not break through the bottom line of the university town base has become the key to the problem.

If you want too much, or if it is precious, and the other party is unwilling to give it, it will be as deadlocked as fuel.

If you want less, or too easily, you will seriously damage your own interests. So, what do you want......

Li Jie thought, slapped his thigh, there is!!

What is the best and most powerful thing in this and the base?

Planting!

I vomited when I ate potatoes! We can ask for fresh fruits and vegetables!

As long as there is nothing in the space, we all want one! This kind of renewable resource, and the regeneration cycle is not long, the base is completely acceptable.

Thinking of this, Li Jie became a little excited, in addition to ready-made crops, he can also ask for condiments and seeds for various crops! We will have a chance in the future, and we can plant it when it is stable!

Trade fresh fruits and vegetables and grain vegetable seeds!

……

There are often times when solving a problem doesn't have to be done with your fists.

Waiting for Li Jie's new transaction request, it was not yet 30 minutes before he got a reply, and it was approved by the base leader as soon as possible, according to the reply of the panting Mr. Huo: "The original words of the base leader are, as long as the base has planting, you can take what you want!" There is no limit, and several of your cars can be fully filled! As long as we have the seeds, we can give you a copy! The cars you came to, including the RV, were filled with gas!! As for the seasoning, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar or something, take it in the warehouse! ”

Mr. Huo couldn't wait to announce the trading permission of the base, and he was relieved.

Not only because of avoiding a possible conflict, but also for the sake of Li Jie's family, but also for himself, for everyone in the base, and even for all the survivors.

Many in college towns do not agree with the use of force to seize the resources of other survivors. They believe that this will fundamentally ruin the future of humanity.

Today you can force Li Jie to hand over the herd, and tomorrow you can force Wang Jie, Zhang Jie, or anyone else to hand over all their supplies! Just because other people, or most people need it!

Then once this happens, personal property is not protected, and this will be a huge problem!

Fortunately, this hidden danger was eliminated, or rather, at least temporarily, and the scar, covered by a hard scab, was not revealed.

The two sides reached an agreement, and Mr. Huo couldn't wait to find the herd as soon as possible to prevent an accident in the herd. On the one hand, I am really anxious, and on the other hand, there is no lack of temptation.

Since it was decided, Li Jie didn't plan to play tricks, nodded and promised to finish lunch, rest for a while, and leave on time at 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

Then the next problem is how to get the herd out without a trace and not be seen by the people at the base.

The people at the base will definitely follow him, Li Jie thought to himself, he must find a way to act alone, or at least have some space, in order to extract the herd. After thinking about it, I have an idea.
