"In negotiations and games, there is a concept called 'the golden time to maximize the benefits of using the initiative', which simply means that in a negotiation or a game, the time you have to maximize the initiative is limited."

"You have to use your initiative as much as possible to grab benefits during this time, and if you miss this time, hesitate and hesitate when you could have maximized the benefits, the negotiation will be considered a failure."

In the cabin outside the woods, Bruce writes and draws on the table with his fingers, explaining to the two of them in as simple language as possible why he would advise Hal to keep the lion open.

"If the two parties negotiate the price, when you throw out the most advantageous chips in your hand, it is often the time when the initiative is greatest, and the other party will feel the heart of your chips, which is actually a kind of emotional judgment, but with the delay of time, reason will gradually prevail."

"Take advantage of the other party's momentary heartbeat, and when his reason has not yet returned, put forward the most favorable conditions for himself, even if the other party will lower the price later, the final result must be beneficial to you."

"Now, the new interest groups want to shake the position of the old military-industrial complex, so they want to cooperate with you, the European countries are not willing to continue to be harvested, and they are pessimistic about the future of the Soviet Union, this is the time for them to be emotionally upset, no matter how much you open your mouth, there is room for negotiation."

Bruce's analysis was very clear and the examples he gave were easy to understand, Hal nodded, thinking that what he said made sense, and Bruce added:

"The CIA has supported a lot of agents abroad, and many of them actually know the consequences of being compradors or directly betraying the country, so they will take advantage of the fact that the United States needs them to make as much profit for themselves as possible, and everyone is familiar with this set."

"The helper doesn't know Oliver's true identity, I'm afraid that he thinks he is a native of Mexico, as long as Oliver shows the face of greed for his own money, not only can he relax his vigilance, but also accumulate a lot of wealth in a short period of time."

"Those who, for the sake of their own agents, will only keep this wealth in the bank or exchange it for luxury cars and mansions for enjoyment, without knowing that the money will eventually flow back into the hands of those capitalists, and they are still working day labor, still being harvested, no different from their stupid compatriots in their eyes."

"But if Oliver is willing to put that money into construction, it will be beneficial for him to do what he wants to do." Bruce sighed and said: "The military-industrial complex and Congress will use this trick to eat all over the world, because they feel that it is impossible for anyone to remain unshaken under huge interests, and this is indeed a fact, noble people are always in the minority, as long as one is shaken, it will end up in a thousand holes." ”

"But in any case, the benefits they pay are real, and as long as those who are willing to do practical things can convert these wealth into permanent assets as soon as possible, and use this to give confidence to others, then the chances of them being shaken can be reduced, and a virtuous circle can be formed."

The more Hal listened, the more he felt that it made sense, and he almost couldn't wait to go back and tell Oliver, he stood up and shook Bruce's hand, and said, "Now that the situation is urgent, I won't say more polite words, and I'll contact you again if you have any questions." ”

Bruce nodded and said nothing, Hal left in a hurry, and Clark and Bruce were on their way back, and when they reached the door, they saw Diana looking up at the sky.

Clark frowned, as if asking Bruce's opinion, and Bruce took the initiative to step forward and said, "Your Royal Highness, you should be a demigod of the Olympus god line, right?" ”

Although it is a question sentence, it is an affirmative tone, and Bruce rarely speaks in such a Batman tone.

Diana looked at Bruce's face, but did not show any surprise, Amazon's citizens have special abilities, which is not a secret in the eyes of the top echelons of the international community, and Amazon, as a small country, can have such a social status, which is also based on this.

But what she didn't expect was that Bruce directly said the name of the Olympus god system, Bruce shook his head and said: "That day, I said that the gems on your bracelet would change color, I was lying to you, but it was not to deceive you, just to let you take the initiative to expose the bracelet, I saw that the pattern on it had the style of Greece and the Aegean region, and I naturally thought of the Olympus god system." ”

"You're a good detective." Diana gave a look of remembrance.

Clark stepped forward and said, "You should see, I and the friend who just came to me have some extraordinary abilities, we are doing something, we have to keep it a secret from the outside world, but please believe it, that is not a bad thing, so please don't tell anyone else." ”

"About Mexico, right?" Diana looked into Clark's eyes, she took two steps to Clark's side, looked at his side and said: "Actually, it's not difficult to guess, the new democratic movement that broke out in Jalisco is not normal at all, they have won too many battles that should not be won according to common sense, and there must be non-secular forces helping." ”

"Although I also know that I have no position to stop it, and you can't stop it at all, I have to remind you that using your special abilities to participate in the situation of human society is not necessarily a good thing, and it may backfire." Diana lowered her head slightly, and no one saw a trace of sadness in her brow.

But to Bruce and Clark's surprise, Diana soon raised her head and said with a resolute face: "I don't mean to let you not do it, everyone is responsible for upholding justice, and it has nothing to do with race and ability." ”

"It's just that you'd better be cautious, don't let your guard down just because you have special abilities, in the world's changes, any individual is very small, even if you are a demigod."

Clark's face slowed down a little, he stepped forward and hugged Diana, and then said, "It seems that you have learned a lesson, but don't be sad about it, there is a generation of people to walk, don't worry too much, we will try to be careful." ”

"Now, we've really exchanged secrets." Bruce stepped forward, looked Diana in the eye and said, "I'm afraid in the future, even if you don't want to be involved, you will have to get involved." ”

"My pleasure." Diana raised an eyebrow, and with the hearty smile she often wore on her face, she turned and walked back into the house, the voices of the three slowly disappearing into the night of the farm.

"I think we get along very well and will definitely become very good friends."

"I think so, Bruce, what about you?"

“…… Probably. ”

With the subtle chirping of the summer insects that gradually woke up in the ridges, another silent night passed, and the next day before dawn, the whole farm suddenly began to run rapidly like a huge machine with a set time.

Rows and rows of tractors drove along the ridges, and the green and primitive land began to be gradually dyed with traces of human labor, the seeds of hope were sown, and the wind carried people's expectations for a good harvest.

With a professional tractor technician as a guide, the vegetable field that Clark specially carved out was finally on the right track.

Bruce, who learned the fastest, first hung up the cultivator and began to plow the land over and over again, because the plot is not large, so it can be cultivated more finely, and the tractor ploughed back and forth four times before starting to sow seeds.

The sowing part was carried out by the most experienced Clarke, and after getting acquainted with the basic operation of this huge tractor, it was difficult for the young man of the small town who had been doing farm work since he was a child, and soon the sowing of this field was completed.

Diana had to drive through the field to see if there was any problem with the density and location of the seeds, and when all the work was done, the day was over, and they returned to the Kent house, where a steaming meal awaited them.

For the next two weeks, all three of them were walking around the farm's field, which was not too big and easy to take care of, and it didn't matter if it could produce crops, so after doing the farm work here, all three would go to the big farm to help.

Wheat and barley are the top priorities on the farm, the most important cash crops, and there is no room for sloppiness, but Lamborghini tractors do help.

The tractor was so big and powerful that Jonathan went to town and borrowed the largest cultivator, which was more than three times wider than the usual cultivator, which meant that the tractor could plough three times as much land in the same amount of time from one end to the other, which greatly saved time for spring ploughing.

Everyone knows that the time for spring ploughing is extremely precious, and thousands of acres of large farms must be sown within half a month.

All farmers know that big tractors are easy to use and can relieve a lot of stress, but not everyone has the money to buy a tractor that costs hundreds of thousands of dollars, and with this money, they can add more and more valuable things to the farm.

But no one will not envy such a big tractor, when Kent Farm began spring ploughing, all the surrounding farmers came, watching Jonathan drive a Lamborghini tractor like a giant beast, dragging a larger cultivator behind him, and ploughing a huge field in less than ten trips, everyone's eyes were full of envy.

Although Jonathan often teaches Clark not to be too fond of being in the limelight, how many farmers have worked all their lives just to show their faces in their hometown, Jonathan has been smiling in his dreams these days, and Martha can't stand his excitement a little.

Another tired but laughing night, Bruce climbed up to the attic on his hands and feet, leaned back on the bed and breathed a sigh of relief, he turned his head to look at his bedside table.

There were a few freshly washed out photos of Jonathan at the end of the day, with his camera on them.

The content of the photos varies, from Bruce sitting in the cockpit of a tractor and turning his head back to stare at the planter behind him, to Clark walking on the ridge with two bags of fertilizer, to Diana holding a newborn lamb like a baby.

Although the content varies, each photo is sunny and high, and everyone's facial features and expressions are hazy and soft, like the wind in Kansas spring.

Bruce flipped to the last photo, where the three of them stood side by side on a ridge with the endless Kent farm in the background.

Standing on the far left, Clark is holding a batcat, wearing sunglasses and a floral shirt, and Diana is wearing a plaid shirt and bib pants, both with smiles on their faces.

Standing in the middle, Bruce wears a sweatshirt with a puppy print on his chest and a straw hat.

Bruce's fingers gently caressed his face in the photo, he didn't even notice it, when the shutter sounded, his expression was so relaxed, if you look at the common sense of human expressions, Bruce in the photo is smiling.

Bruce slowly put the picture down and exhaled softly, lately he had been feeling sleepy, as if he was going to fall asleep at any time.

And today, Bruce fell asleep faster, because he wanted to engrave these sunny days in his memory.

No matter how much sunlight is drowsy, rain and fog in the future, this lonely bat can also guard this lamp and have a good night's sleep.
