Chapter 47 Negotiations
This is a palatial conference room, the floor is covered with a whole Victoria Bay wool carpet, people walk on it, both feet seem to sink into the ground, and in the corner of the wall are several bronze statues of equal height, seemingly ordinary heroic statues, but those eyes that radiate red light like red agate betray their true identity - battle golems, alchemical monsters with extremely strong combat power.
There is a crystal magic lamp installed on the ceiling, and the energy of expensive magic stones is consumed all the time under the delicate lampshade, which is much higher than the ordinary magic lamps that can shine in the sun.
In the higher places, the red, blue and yellow ribbons are the protagonists of the decoration, all of which are made of Sun Valley long-staple cotton and woven by hand, while in the lower places, the paintings of many master painters have found their home. Some of the paintings depict scenes from the Dawn War, and the cold murderous aura of the painter's exquisite craftsmanship stimulates the nerves and makes everyone who comes here tense their attention.
It is here that the negotiations of the Pearl Chamber of Commerce and the Polaris Chamber of Commerce take place. This is the large conference room of the City Lord's Mansion of Boulder City, which has been borrowed by them at this moment.
The City Lord's Mansion of Boulder City often accepts this kind of negotiation between two large chambers of commerce, and this large conference room can be said to be specially prepared for such negotiations.
"The meeting room is ready and you can enter. โ
The people on both sides had already entered through two doors and sat in their respective positions, and the long mahogany table was filled with people at onceโthe first one was sitting Brother and Hua, the city lord of Boulder City, and below Brother and Hua were Grigham, the head of the Pearl Chamber of Commerce in Boulder City, and Hegel, the head of the Polaris Chamber of Commerce in Boulder City. The people on both sides sat in the subordinate positions of their respective bosses distinctly, glaring at each other.
Hegel, the witch of Grieg, was an old rival, and his men did not give in to each other, and the two of them were even more glared so that their eyes were almost protruding, one was discharged, and the other was on fire.
The lightning and the sparks got closer and closer, and finally they almost came together. Grigham made a bad move, kicking Hegel's leg under the table, and in an instant, Hegel's face slammed into the mahogany table with a "thud" sound.
"Hmph. Grigham snorted disdainfully and sat back in his seat.
The people of the Polaris Chamber of Commerce helped their boss up, and Hegel was not injured, but this loss of face was great, and the composure and embarrassment of both sides were in stark contrast.
In the small confrontation at the beginning, the Pearl Chamber of Commerce took a small advantage.
"Ahem," Brother Hehua coughed twice, cleared his throat, and everyone's eyes turned from sharp confrontation to this city lord, "Since everyone is already sitting here, why don't you talk openly and honestly about the benefits of cooperation." You are all businessmen, and there should be a lot of common language, so I won't say much about it as a layman, and I'll leave the rest of the time to you. After speaking, Brother Hehua stopped talking.
What kind of atmosphere will it be, from the temporary calm just now to another gunsmoke.
"I'll start with that," Grigham began, "our Chamber of Commerce feels that the main responsibility for this incident lies with you, and it should be no problem for you to give us a little compensation." โ
"How can we be blamed for the main responsibility? we don't even know it!" said Hegel angrily. Although he said this, the matter in his heart was very clear, and Joseph's body was not found at the scene. Now this guy may be in the hands of the Pearl Chamber of Commerce.
Grigham sneered and stared at Hegel, who had a ghost in his heart, and his hair was straight at him, but years of business management had made him develop a good city government, and he was still very calm on the surface.
"Since you think so, then we don't force it. I have some information here, and I hope you will read it before you make a decision. Grigham reached out to his men, and the assistant sitting at the end immediately passed the paper bags one by one to Grigham. Grigham stretched the paper bag forward and handed it to Hegel, who was sitting across from him.
Hegel's heart sank, he knew that the "main dish" was on the table, and the Pearl Chamber of Commerce began to challenge them to the Polaris Chamber of Commerce, but he didn't know what was in this bag?
Opening the paper bag, Hegel took out some documents from it. He flipped it roughly, and this one was so good that Hegel could not sit still at once, and he blushed and passed on the information to the next one.
As soon as Grigham looked at Hegel's face, he knew that it was done.
After reading it, the next few qualified negotiators of the Polaris Chamber of Commerce also sat in their chairs silently, their faces terrifying.
Brother Hehua sat in the first place, closed his eyes and rested. This information is a trade secret, not something he can know, and he is just sitting here to express the fair and just attitude of the City Lord's Mansion towards both sides.
"Now that you've read the information, what do you think of our previous conditions?" asked Grigham.
"We can think about it. Hegel said with a dark face.
"Good. In this case, this is a list of the compensation that we need from the Pearl Chamber of Commerce, and you can check it out. Seeing that the timing was almost there, Grigham slowly handed over another document. Then, he lit a grim cigar and looked like he was winning.
Hegel had a whispered discussion with several other qualified negotiators of the Polaris Chamber of Commerce before finalizing the outcome.
"Based on our review of your required compensation, we agree to indemnify you in this matter, but we require the destruction of these documents and all attachments to them. Hegel turned his head and said.
"There's no problem with that, we only have one copy of our documents, and you can take them with you. Grigham smiled.
The credibility of the Pearl Chamber of Commerce can still be trusted. Since Grigham said that there is only one, there must be only one, and Hegel did not doubt this.
Both sides signed the three annexes to the compensation document in the smile of Grigham and the gloom of Hegel. The Pearl Chamber of Commerce and the Polaris Chamber of Commerce each kept one copy, and the remaining third copy was handed over to the City Lord's Mansion for safekeeping.
This is also done to ensure fairness and justice.
"It was a pleasure to work with. Grigham nodded with the papers, and walked away with his men. This negotiation really made him raise his eyebrows, and the whole person seemed to be ten years younger.
"Damn. โ
Hegel slammed his fist on the table.
