Chapter 51: The Art of Negotiation

On the first day of negotiations, the two sides broke up unhappily.

Because the conditions of the two sides are too different, the elf proposed to exchange a universal spirit bead for the 10,000-year-old ambergris fruit, and also add 100 ambergris fruits or 8 thousand-year-old ambergris fruits.

The condition of the Celestial Dragon Empire was to exchange that 10,000-year-old ambergris fruit for a universal spirit bead or ten precious materials that could only be produced in the only heaven-sent realm. If those materials are used to make veins or veins, they are extremely powerful.

The distance between the two sides was too great to talk about one place, and the negotiation only lasted for a short time, and ended in a hurry after the two sides showed their conditions.

The first round was just a tentative negotiation, and if it was a successful negotiation the first time, it would be interesting. And the representatives sent by both sides are not low-ranked. The elves sent a silver-robed elf named Pilo to negotiate, and the Celestial Dragon Empire was represented by the Wind Knife, the most trusted of the Emperor Zhenyu.

The two sides discussed their respective concessions, and Princess Shelley and Li Haotian were naturally fine. So Li Haotian ran to the queen's palace, and the queen invited the elf princess to play with Li Haotian. Not only did they play in the Queen's Palace, but they also often went outside the palace to taste all kinds of snacks and enjoy all kinds of interesting things, while at the same time, the negotiations continued.

Negotiations are now on their fourth day. The elves' side has lowered the condition to exchange one universal spirit bead for one Wanna ambergris fruit, plus two thousand-year ambergris fruits or 30 hundred-year ambergris fruits.

And the Heavenly Dragon Empire's side lowered the condition to exchange a 10,000-year ambergris fruit for a 10,000-year spirit bead and two precious materials.

However, for the next three days, neither side conceded a single step. And Li Haotian has already recovered his pulse qi after these few days, and he has cultivated his pulse qi to the limit of the peak of the pulse disciple, and after measuring the spiritual vein, he will open the pulse ring with the universal spirit bead.

And when Shelley saw Li Haotian again that day, he was a little depressed.

"Sister Princess, you don't seem to be very happy. Li Haotian said with a smile.

"You and I can't negotiate, but we're having fun. It's like I'm sharing some of my sorrows for my brother. By the way, you are the crown prince of the Celestial Dragon Empire, can you persuade your father to agree to our conditions?"

Listening to Shelley's innocent words, Li Haotian smiled, "Sister Princess, in fact, they all have the bottom line in their hearts, but they are just waiting for the other party to say it first." ”

"Ah, is it so troublesome?" said Shelley, "if I negotiate with you, I will tell the maximum limit I can bear." ”

Li Haotian shook his head, "Whether it is a human or an elf, they will not directly say their thoughts, especially when negotiating with the other party, they are constantly figuring, analyzing, and capturing the other party's bottom line in order to maximize their own interests." ”

"Brother Prince, you know a lot. The elf princess couldn't help but boast.

Li Haotian grinned, and said in his heart My real age is in my thirties, and I have seen a lot more things than you. But seeing that the elf princess was not happy about this, she hurriedly comforted: "Sister princess, don't worry, I believe that soon, your brother and my father will meet directly, and when they can't talk again, there will be a wind dragon vein god who will come out to intercede for you, and my father will sell him a face, and the deal will be reached." ”

"Really?" said Shelley.

"Nature is true. Li Haotian said and suddenly sighed.

"Brother Prince, why are you sighing?"

"Because as soon as the deal is reached, you will leave Yundu, and we will also separate. Li Haotian said.

"Yes. Shelley also lowered her head, because she had been accompanied by Li Haotian in the past few days and experienced the life she had never had. The prosperity of the human world, the deliciousness of human food, and the gentle queen all made her feel tired.

Seeing that the elf princess's eyebrows were lowered, Li Haotian hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, sister princess, you said that elves can't cry and can't shed tears." So let's just sentence them to talk more slowly, and let us play a few more days. ”

"Yes. Shelley burst into tears and laughed.

"I've heard that outside the 5th Ring Road in the west of the city, there is a hawthorn pastry that is very delicious. Sister Princess has always said that she has gained weight, so let's go and try the hawthorn pastry, and we will not gain weight after eating. ”

"Good. Shelley took the initiative to take Li Haotian's hand.

As Li Haotian said, Emperor Zhenyu and Prince Harold personally went into battle to negotiate. So since then, Li Haotian has not been able to get the progress of the negotiations from Fengdao.

Finally, three days later, the Wind Dragon God asked to see the Emperor, and after the Wind Dragon left, the news came that the two sides had reached an agreement.

"What do you say the final agreement looks like?" Li Haotian couldn't help but ask the racket after getting the news.

"Hmph, what can it be, just as Lao Tzu expected. The racket said coldly.

"I mean, what exactly was the transaction, and what price did the two sides pay?" Li Haotian asked, "Could it be that he only exchanged the universal spirit bead for the 10,000-year ambergris fruit?" ”

"Hmph, boy, you're still too tender. The racket sneered.

If others say that he is too tender, Li Haotian will naturally refute it, but it is appropriate for the racket who does not know how long he has been "living" to say so. So he simply replied, "I would like to hear about it." ”

"Lao Tzu knows that you are also a smart person, Lao Tzu debuted the question, and you will understand it by yourself after you finish answering. Let me ask you, which group has the big difference between 1,000 and 500, 10,000 and 10,000 and 500?"

"The difference between the two sets of data is 500, but the number in front of the first group is twice as large as the back, and the second group is still 500 different, but the two numbers are about the same. Li Haotian analyzed it and suddenly realized, "Could it be that Emperor Zhenyu and the Elf Prince each added conditions, instead of cutting each other's conditions?"

"That's how it should be. For tens of thousands of years, the Celestial Dragon Empire only traded with elves through the black market, but the income from that was limited after all. This time, it is rare for the elf prince to come to the door as a messenger, so naturally there will be a big exchange. Besides, what is exchanged is what the other party must have. ”

Li Haotian nodded, not long ago, he had just received the news that Li Haoyun of Nanxiang had also rushed to Yundu City from Tianlun Ranch, and in order to celebrate the successful transaction between the Tianlong Empire and the Tianci Realm, the ceremony of signing the letter of friendship was held on the Tiantai outside Yundu City.

At that time, from the emperor, empress, and prince, down to the civil and military forces above the fourth grade, they will all gather there. Because the human empire is different from the elven worship. Humans worship gods, and for the elves who claim to be descendants of gods, gods are only their ancestors. However, whether it is a human, a spirit, or even a veined beast, they all believe that heaven and earth need to be worshipped, so the ceremony of signing a national letter with the elves is held on the altar of worship. The truth is evidenced by the heaven and the earth.

This day is recognized by both parties as an auspicious day, and the sacrificial platform outside Yundu City is already full of people.

And Li Haotian and the elven prince Harold represented the Heavenly Dragon Empire and the Heavenly Domain respectively, and only after paying homage to the heavens did they officially sign the letter of friendship.

In the midst of everyone's congratulations, Li Haotian couldn't help but look at Shelley. I saw that she didn't seem to be happy, and looked at her side from time to time, quite reluctantly.
