Chapter 38: Failed Negotiations
This night, Sun Chenghuan slept very unsteadily. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Because of this day, he went through a little bit more.
Had a nightmare at night.
He didn't remember exactly what he had dreamed of when he woke up.
It's just a cold sweat.
In the sky that was not fully lit up, Sun Chenghuan got out of bed and took a shower to wash away the cold sweat on his body because of nightmares.
Then he practiced his sword skills in the courtyard of the post station.
He had let go of this habit for a while, but after yesterday's events, he suddenly felt that it might be much more difficult than he imagined to live......
When you still have a choice, try harder!
Otherwise, it might be too late for him to regret it when he faces an opponent like Eldraine again.
After the exercise in the morning and after breakfast, Erin rubbed her eyes and got up from the bed, still carrying a big puppet who didn't know what kind of creature it was, and asked Sun Chenghuan what time it was, why hadn't he gone out to work yet......
She really looks like a little girl...... It's cute.
After arranging for the person named Selena to prepare breakfast for Erin, Sun Chenghuan followed Suowan and Master to visit the Astrana Mission in the Onica Station.
Only Sun Chenghuan, Suowan and Master are three men together.
They also met with the head of the Astrana Mission, the man named Kasiu, who had a relationship with Sun Chenghuan before.
After a long period of pleasantries, the topic quickly got to the point.
At this time, Sun Chenghuan learned that Master was the plenipotentiary authorized by the Council of Elders to negotiate with Astrana.
When negotiating, it's not like before, everyone has the magic to prevent mental probing on themselves, so a lot of the game is a very time-consuming, laborious and laborious thing.
In fact, it is grinding, testing each other's bottom line, and then fighting for one more point above the bottom line, then the merit of the negotiator will also increase by one point.
Sun Chenghuan is really not interested in this kind of thing.
And it can be seen that Master is not interested either.
As a result, Sovan became the main negotiator in this negotiation.
The angle of the negotiation is also interesting.
"It's hard for me to believe that Jarro will be treated properly when he returns. ”
"What about Jarro, now that you are rebuilding the Presbyterian Church, what is her location?"
"The way she inherited her title should be re-approved by your Council of Elders?Is this the policy of your previous Three Kings Partition? Isn't it a joke?"
"Since you want to ask her to go back and restore the ancestral system, then from the fief to the system, you must return to the way it was before. Now like this, we don't worry about her going back to Astlana and using it as a flag for some people, and tearing it up when she runs out. ”
"Whether or not Jarro wants to go back is not up to us, nor is it up to the elders of Merce, it's up to Jarro herself. You guys, I really doubt she'll be willing to go back to Astrana......"
......
Suowan posed there as a bosom friend of Jarro, and Sun Chenghuan felt ridiculous.
But he just stayed quietly.
Even sometimes when he has already heard the bottom line of the Astrana people on the other side, he chooses to remain silent.
This time, Merce arranged for so many people to go to Astrana with Jarro, and everyone had a division of labor.
I have squeezed Grant out, otherwise today's negotiations should obviously be Grant's task.
Even, maybe the original arrangement was to make Grant Jarro's husband......
He stood up and said these words, it was right!
A morning of negotiations ended up with nothing.
The two sides tested each other's bottom line, but obviously, the people who sat there negotiating, Suowan was young and inexperienced, and Cassiu on the other side was completely a magician and could not negotiate.
It's really better to find two businessmen to talk about it!
When leaving the Astrana Mission, Sun Chenghuan complained silently in his heart.
But he wouldn't say that kind of thing, and he wouldn't be so stupid as to jump out and take over the matter himself.
"Let's come on, I'm really not good at this kind of thing. ”
When Mast, who was also a little bored and helpless when he saw that there was no progress, asked Sun Chenghuan to try to negotiate, Sun Chenghuan replied like this.
"He can't. Master sighed, "This morning, he has already revealed the bottom line of our negotiations several times. If we go on like this, we'll be very passive. ”
"Otherwise...... Sun Chenghuan remembered someone, "let Jessica try?"
"Hmm...... That's fine. Master nodded, "You and Jessica will go to them in the afternoon, and Sovan and I won't go." ”
"Huh? Why?"
"As Princess Jarro, your personal envoy will negotiate!" Master thought for a moment and said, "Let's just say that Princess Jarro wants to be guaranteed......"
"Can the other party believe it?"
"Believe it or not, they are our negotiators anyway, and Jarro is already very familiar with Jessica, and indeed Jessica is also the person who knows Jarro best......"
"Familiar?"
"Well, they're classmates at Third Academy. ”
“...... Is Princess Jarro really a student of the Third Academy?"
"yes, why, do you think it's necessary to lie about this kind of thing?"
“...... How did we become students of the Second Academy, but we became the Third Academy?"
"That's because none of the graduates of the Third Academy this year can be used except Jessica. Master sighed, "They are all a group of people who feel that it is impossible for them to inherit the title, and even if they study hard, there will be no way out, and every day they just go to the people who have the possibility of inheriting the title......"
"Then why isn't this the case in the Second Academy?"
"Because of you!" Master smiled, "You civilian students have really brought the students of the Second Academy to life. You don't know what the dean of the Second College told me before recommending you, he said that he hadn't seen such a vigorous student as yours in decades. ”
“...... I suddenly felt as if I had done something remarkable......" Sun Chenghuan was suddenly embarrassed.
"Don't talk about that, I'll go talk to Jessica and ask her to come with you in the afternoon to find someone in Astrana. "Master was about to end the conversation.
"Well, I'll wait for her to come and come with me in the afternoon. ”
"Okay. Master nodded.
......
"I heard that your negotiations in the morning were very bad?"
"It's not out of the ordinary, is it...... Why are you here? Aren't you in a hurry to get back to Nazaire?"
"I'm here to look for you! although you're fine, but if you say goodbye this time, I really don't know when we'll see each other again, and besides, Ketland hasn't arrived yet!"
Li Yaer sat there smiling and drinking tea with Erin, looking at Sun Chenghuan.
The two of them seem to have become good friends after a morning.
"When will Cutland arrive?"
"I received the letter last night, he and Conina are rushing over, and I guess we will be there tonight......"
"Conina?" Sun Chenghuan was stunned.
looked at Erin.
Erin had a teasing smile on her face.
"yes! She's coming, too. Li Yaer also seemed to know something, and the smile on his face was also weird, looking at Sun Chenghuan.
"Oh......" Sun Chenghuan nodded. "By the way, since you don't have anything to do, can you help come up with an idea?"
"What's the idea?"
"Negotiating! In the future, if I mess up in Astrana, your family will do business, and my territory will collect less taxes. ”
"Yo, this is all about territory?" laughed Lial.
"Just kidding, I'm already a Duke and Lord in Merce, and if I go to Astrana and don't give me a fief, do you say it?" Sun Chenghuan asked rhetorically.
"Yes, big brother, would you like to consider hiring Brother Li Yaer to be your butler?"
"Yes, Lear, are you interested in that?"
“...... You two ......" Li Yaer shook his head a little helplessly, "If it's convenient in the afternoon, take me there, I'll listen to it, and then help you analyze the other party's bottom line or something......"
"I've heard the bottom line. Sun Chenghuan shook his head, "Ya Er Luo go back, all the rules are the same, the Council of Elders is disbanded, in addition to the Liu family, although the other two royal families have been wiped out, there are still some distant relatives and disciples, and you can consider selecting meritocracy from them." However, it is impossible for the nobles' territories that have been divided from the Liu family's territory in the past few years to be returned to the Liu family. ”
"How much territory have you given up?"
"Seventy percent, right? That's about that. ”
"Isn't that a joke? she's not as big as a duke's territory, isn't she?" said Liar.
"yes, so I didn't intend to speak, I don't think they were sincere in negotiating. Sun Chenghuan smiled and nodded.
"But I think Jarro will agree, right?" said Liar, after a moment's thought, "even if there is only a third left, it will still be her territory!"
"If there is no land, there will be no money, no food, no troops, no population...... A prince, how many people are staring at her, and she doesn't even know how to die when the time comes. If she could agree to such conditions, then I would definitely not follow anyway. Sun Chenghuan said very resolutely, "I have no interest in joining the defeated camp." ”
"Then what is the bottom line of the conditions you can agree to?"
"I don't need you to give me what I want, but as long as it is justified, I can grab it, and that's enough. Sun Chenghuan thought about it very seriously and said.
"Rob?" Li Yaer was stunned for a moment and smiled.
"Yes. Sun Chenghuan nodded, with a sincere face, "I don't need others to prepare anything for me, as long as my ability can get it, you don't stop me." You've known each other for so many years, and you still don't know?"
"I know, I know, but it still feels strange to grab the word out of your mouth. Li Yaer smiled and shook his head, "It seems that you went to the second academy, and some changes have also occurred." If you had said anything before, I would do my best to get what I could get, and now you can say it, and if anyone stops me, I'm not a vegetarian......"
“...... When you say that, it seems to be. Sun Chenghuan was stunned for a moment and smiled. "It seems to be a lot more arrogant than before. ”
"It's not hubris, that's good. Li Yaer looked at Sun Chenghuan with a look of self-reflection and hurriedly said. "So even if Conina is not with you, I am relieved. ”
"What's so good about that...... It's easy to get into trouble!" Sun Chenghuan shook his head, "That's not the case with Ketran, he has always been taught by you that he will suffer because of this in the future." ”
"You're not like him, sometimes he thinks about things that he doesn't get or shouldn't get, but you don't, you know exactly where you can go, he can't. Li Yaer sighed, "Did you know that this year he made an organization called the Student Self-Government Committee in the Seventh Academy......
“...... What is he going to do?" Sun Chenghuan frowned when he heard this.
He thought of someone.
The one who came to find him some time ago was also a person from the Murong family.
Cutland wants to do this at the Seventh Academy?
He......
"I stopped him. Li Yaer saw Sun Chenghuan's reaction and smiled, "Yes, it's the same thing as the student union of the Fifth Academy or something." But what is the place of the Seventh Academy? tossing these ...... in there?"
"It's good to stop. Sun Chenghuan didn't have a smile on his face, "This is ......"
"yes! I'm going to have my house raided. Lear nodded, "But because of this, he has some opinions about me, these days, he rarely looks for me, always left alone, and I don't know what he's busy with, just like this time, I can't find him anywhere, and no one knows where he is......"
I know, he's in the Mage Tower.
Sun Chenghuan said silently in his heart.
But he wasn't stupid enough to tell this matter, everyone should have their own secrets, and just because he accidentally found out about Ketlan doesn't mean that Ketlan is willing to let him know......
If one day Kirtlan is willing to speak up!
"Maybe he's just studying magic on his own. Sun Chenghuan snorted, "Ketlan is not the kind of person who is so cautious, and he is not stupid, so he naturally knows that you are for his good." ”
"I hope so...... This time he's coming, you can ask him, and I don't know if he has a problem with me because of this. Lear nodded.
"Hmmm......"
It was at this time that Selena came to pass the word and Jessica came to visit.
"It's time to negotiate in the afternoon so soon?" Sun Chenghuan was stunned.
Glancing at the timer.
No, it's almost two o'clock in the afternoon......
I've been chatting with Li Yaer here for a long time!
"Then you go slowly. Li Yaer smiled and waved his hand to Sun Chenghuan.
"Let's go, let's go together. Sun Chenghuan saw Li Yaer's expression, and he was angry.
"What am I going to do......"
"We're private anyway, so it's okay. Li Junhan smiled and shook his head, "Didn't you have a good conversation with Jessica here before?
“...... You're becoming more and more like Cutland. Li Yaer patted his forehead and smiled a little speechlessly.
