Chapter 580: Messing Around
Without waiting for Anna to answer, Ouyang Feng himself said the answer: "It's nothing more than a compromise or Qingyuan City being bulldozed by the two alliances, since this is the case, it is better to compromise as soon as possible, save more people from dying, and maintain a certain friendship with the two alliances, although it is only on the surface, but it is better than being soft after turning your face." β
Anna nodded appreciatively and said, "I'm glad you can figure this out, I'm still thinking about when to talk to you about this, and now it seems that I underestimated you." β
Ouyang Feng looked proud and proud, and said self-righteously: "Of course, I'm not as unbearable as you think." Anna continued to roll her eyes.
The short break after lunch soon ended, and the negotiations continued, this time, Li Mu and his deputy did not speak, Ouyang Feng did not wait for the other party to speak, so he preemptively said: "Everyone, it seems a little late to discuss the cause of the matter now, I said that the matter started because of you, you don't seem to admit it, and in the same way, you said that the matter started because of me, I won't admit it, because it is the truth." β
Aven's deputy, Karen, retorted, "What do you use to prove that what you say is the truth?"
Ouyang Feng couldn't help but be a little annoyed when he saw that this Karen wanted to pull the topic into endless arguments again, and slapped the table fiercely and said: "Enough, it's because you are so unreasonable that the negotiation will go so slowly, have you thought about it, delay for a day, those people on Kosang Island will suffer one more day because of you, what are your intentions?" If you don't want to take them back, you can just say it, we don't need to talk about it, and I won't use the money to sell food to feed them, just explain what happened to them and then let them go back. β
Ouyang Feng glared at him and played tricks, and Ai Wen and his subordinates were stunned. Forthwith. Aven's face was as usual. The others were full of indignation, accusing Ouyang Feng of being unreasonable and disrespectful.
Ouyang Feng smiled contemptuously and said: "Unreasonable, disrespectful, do you deserve my respect? Don't tell me any big truths, I don't understand, and I don't want to understand, I know that the battle was fought with us, and I also lost a lot of people, and the buildings on the island were destroyed." How do you want me to respect you? Stop talking nonsense, make it clear to me now, do you still want those captives?"
Karen was caught off guard by Ouyang Feng's toughness, and didn't know how to respond for a while, there was silence in the field, no one on the side of the Centaur Alliance spoke, but Li Mu and his subordinates were smiling and waiting to see a good show.
After a moment of silence, Ouyang Feng's tone softened a little and continued: "I know what you think, don't you just want to pay a little less price? Why bother so much? The conditions have already been offered, of course, you also have the right to bargain." Don't talk about the previous ones, since you want to get those captives back. Then tell me what you can cost. Declare in advance, don't play any vain temptation with me, I don't have time to talk to you. β
Karen didn't care about Ouyang Feng's threat, and seeing Ai Wen nodding, he hesitated and said, "Your conditions are too harsh, but we can still agree to some of them, such as Ranjiao Island, which is now Qingyuan Island, which we can recognize its ownership and promise not to violate it by force for no reason." Qingyuan Island must also remain neutral and will not participate in the war between us. β
Ouyang Feng teased: "So you want me to quit the Orion Alliance?"
Cullen retorted: "Lord Ouyang Island, I know very well about you, how long will you stay in this plane? And even if you are still here, if our two alliances start a war, do you still want Qingyuan Island or the future Qingyuan City to be involved? Don't you think about those friends of yours? Of course, we have no problem with you and your followers participating in the war, in short, you can't use the strength of Qingyuan Island, especially your sea beast friend." β
What Cullen said was also mentioned by Ouyang Feng at the beginning, Ouyang Feng did not object, looked at Cullen and said, "Go on, what conditions do you still promise." β
Karen continued: "The loss of Qingyuan Island is not small, and our people have also lost a lot, ten Jindan masters, only one went back alive, and the cultivation has been abolished, and the other hundred cultivators in the foundation building period have not returned, these losses are much greater than yours, right? β
Ouyang Feng sneered and said, "Don't tell me about those useless things, do you still want to pull the topic back?" I sue you, your people called, but they all hung up, they are not good at learning, and they deserve it, if our people go to your territory to make trouble and die, I don't have the face to ask for any compensation. My conditions are all here, except for the compensation for those bereavements, the rebuilding of the island, and the cost of keeping your captives these days, altogether"
Ouyang Feng didn't know how much, and looked back at Anna. Anna reminded and said tentatively: "A total of 10 million gold coins?"
Ouyang Feng nodded and said, "Yes, that's right, it's 10 million gold coins, and not a single copper plate is missing, this is my bottom line." β
Ten million gold coins is nothing to Ouyang Feng, who is in urgent need of money, and he has no intention of embezzling this money privately, but 10 million gold coins is not a small amount, even for the Centaur Alliance, it is not something that can be taken out casually.
Karen looked at Ouyang Feng coldly, and refused without hesitation: "Impossible, if we agree to your conditions, it means that we admit that the war was provoked by us, this is a matter of principle." β
Ouyang Feng smiled coldly and said, "Are you sure?" Karen Shao Yi hesitated, but nodded firmly.
Ouyang Feng laughed and said, "Okay, since that's the case, we don't have to talk about it, Anna, let's go, I'll let those prisoners go." β
Ouyang Feng turned his head to look at Karen and said, "I will disperse them to various regions, so that the rest of your alliance will know how you treat those respectable warriors who are working hard for the alliance below." With that, he strode to the tent door.
Seeing this, Li Mu smiled secretly in his heart, and also got up and said apologetically to Ai Wen and the others: "Since we can't talk about it, then this negotiation will end here, let's go." With that, he stood up and walked outside the tent.
Karen saw that Ouyang Feng and Li Mu actually said that they would leave, not ambiguous at all, and couldn't help but be stunned, Ai Wen frowned, he could see that Ouyang Feng was serious this time, plus the state and attitude of those captives that Karen relayed last night, Ai Wen's heart couldn't help but tighten, if Ouyang Feng really did what he just said, once those captives who were full of resentment towards the alliance returned to the alliance and publicized their own experiences everywhere, it would definitely have a great impact on the unity of the allianceγ
Ai Wen, who had been silent, couldn't sit still, and said loudly: "Ouyang Island Lord, Commander Li Mu, if there is any dissatisfaction, we can discuss it again, there is no need to do things so desperately." Can you give me a face, sit down and talk. β
Ouyang Feng actually didn't want to turn his face, but now that Ai Wen, the person in charge, had spoken, Ouyang Feng stopped, glanced at Karen with disdain, and said to Ai Wen: "Is it really possible to talk? I don't want to sit down and you will be the same as just now." β
Evan still smiled, and made a gesture of please.
Ouyang Feng and Li Mu glanced at each other, and everyone returned to their seats again. Ai Wen smiled and said: "Lord Ouyang, 10 million gold coins is not a small amount, although I am a commander of a war zone, it is not easy to come up with 10 million gold coins, unless you are willing to agree to let us pay in installments, and besides, you give me a reason, a reason not to hurt the reputation of our Centaur Alliance." β
Ouyang Feng frowned, and just wanted to say something, Anna preemptively said: "We won't accept installment payments, seniors, let's just say it, how many gold coins can you come up with?" As for the reason, this is very simple, I believe you also know that we are going to build a city and exchange materials with sea beasts, what about this matter, I believe that the two alliances will not give up, they both want to get some benefits from it, and as a neutral city, we naturally welcome the investment of the two alliances." β
Speaking of which, everyone present understood what Anna meant, that is, let the Centaur Alliance hand over this compensation to Ouyang Feng in the name of investment.
Ai Wen was also very satisfied with this, after all, he had thought about finding an opportunity to talk to Ouyang Feng about cooperation, and now, Anna took the initiative to say it, which can be regarded as a concession, or a threat, Ai Wen naturally will not refuse, without the slightest hesitation, nodded and said: "We will not refuse this kind of investment, of course, in addition to the normal investment, I can take out an extra five million gold coins, which can be regarded as a generous return to you." β
Ai Wen's words were also very tactful, and everyone understood the meaning, Ouyang Feng and Anna glanced at each other, feeling that five million gold coins were acceptable, so they nodded and said, "Yes." β
Alan still smiled mildly and said, "Okay, let's move on to the other requirements." β
With Aiwen's concession and compromise, Karen also knew that this negotiation was destined to lose a lot of money, and sighed slightly in his heart, if it wasn't for the other party to grasp the key that he was most afraid of, things would not have turned out like this, thinking of this, Karen glared at Ouyang Feng fiercely, his eyes were full of murderous intent.
Ouyang Feng saw Cullen's eyes, raised his chin in response indifferently, and provoked with contemptuous eyes, Cullen just snorted coldly and stopped looking at Ouyang Feng.
Cullen thought to himself, "You don't need to be complacent, there are not a few people who want your life now, just see how long you can be proud." β
The negotiation continued, and this time Ouyang Feng did not speak again, drank tea with Alger, Fan Bucket and Li Mu to listen, and handed over the next bargain to Anna and Li Mu's deputy. (To be continued......)
