Chapter 579: Concessions
Like Kosang Island, when Ouyang Feng and his fleet docked, the people on the island were already waiting on the shore, and the two sides maintained absolute friendship with each other, helping each other to carry supplies.
When Ouyang Feng secretly told the leader of the remnants of the army to send a doctor to stay on the island, the leader of the remnants was very happy and expressed a warm welcome, but when Ouyang Feng said not to make a statement, although the leaders of the remnants did not know why, they kept a low profile and did not immediately make a statement.
Fenglan Island, this special island is no longer special, and the remnants of the island are also the same as the people on other islands, they will send people to wait for Ouyang Feng's fleet on the beach every day, first, to maintain life supplies, and second, they also want to know the latest news from the alliance, how long will they have to wait before they can leave this isolated island.
After a big circle on the sea, more than a dozen of Li Mu's subordinates were left on several isolated islands, and Karen didn't notice or even if he saw anything wrong about the disappearance of these people.
Back to Qingyuan Island, after Karen and Ouyang Feng and the others said goodbye, they hurried back to find Ai Wen to report the discovery along the way and Ouyang Feng's plan to build a city, Gail, Yaheng and Angelo, and Ouyang Feng went to meet Baker and Hawke, and after receiving a positive reply and generous support from the two, the three of them took the surviving guards to the fishing village on a fishing boat, and then turned to return to Ula by land. In the three cities of Zhongping and Moyun, they will sell their property when they go back, raise gold coins, and organize the evacuation of their families, and also recruit laborers and craftsmen and some unique materials to go to the fishing village to prepare for the construction of a new city.
Of course, Gail is also a big family, and it takes some time to deal with these things. And. The three cities they don't intend to give up so lightly. They will also select competent subordinates to stay behind and maintain daily operations.
This time, he will also go back with them, and he will temporarily transfer the backbone of the Qingyuan Guild and his family to Giant Rock City and Hengshan City, let them open a branch of the Qingyuan Guild there, and wait for the Qingyuan City in the fishing village to be built, and then move there, so as to contain the headquarters of the Qingyuan Guild in Qingyuan City.
Dunbar also left Qingyuan Island shortly after Gale and the others left. His mission was to return to the Holy City, relay the matter to the patriarchs of the other families, and arrange for craftsmen and some supplies to support the construction of Qingyuan City, and Baker and Hawke also invited representatives of other families to come to Qingyuan Island to discuss the sharing of profits from the trade with the sea beasts.
If it was something else, Baker and Hawke, the two Great Elders with transcendent status, could completely make decisions for the other families, and with Ouyang Feng's good relationship, the other families would not say anything.
But this time it's different, a deal with sea beasts. The stakes are too great for Baker and Hawke to assert themselves. It's better to have people from other families come over and discuss it together.
After a short break, the negotiations continued, and this time, the three Gale left, and were replaced by Alger and Rice Bucket to accompany and protect Ouyang Feng, a national treasure. At the beginning of the negotiation, Li Mu and Ai Wen were the same as yesterday, after the simple and unnutritious opening remarks, they sat down at the negotiation table without saying a word, letting their subordinates argue, and the two of them were more determined, watching and drinking tea like no one else.
The deputies on both sides were still arguing about the cause of the matter, and the talk was endless, Ouyang Feng was about to fall asleep when he heard it, and Anna was also helpless, which was completely different from her style of doing things.
At lunchtime, the two sides temporarily 'truce', back to their tent, Ouyang Feng picked up the bowl and chopsticks and sucked a large bowl of noodles, and then put the bowl on the table, and said with an indignant face: "I can't go on like this, if it goes on like this, I don't know when this negotiation will end, I don't have time to waste anymore, and there are still a lot of things to do." ”
Ouyang Feng looked at Li Mu's deputy and said in an unquestionable tone: "Senior, in this way, the afternoon negotiation will be handed over to me." ”
There was still no progress in the second negotiation, and Li Mu was also a little anxious, after all, they didn't bring much supplies, and with Li Mu's approval, the deputy nodded and agreed, hoping that this young man, who didn't know anything and had a great background, could use his alternative methods to make a breakthrough at the negotiation table.
Ouyang Feng turned his head and was about to discuss with Anna how to force the other party to get straight to the point, but Li Mu said to Ouyang Feng with a strange expression: "That, Ouyang Ruofeng, there is something I want to talk to you about." ”
Ouyang Feng turned his head and looked at Li Mu in surprise, he didn't know what was going on with this guy who still didn't smile and kept a straight face all day long, which made his expression so strange. Li Mu hesitated for a long time, and didn't know how to speak, to be honest, Da Da, who grew up in Kunlun since he was a child, has never lacked anything, and he is also a high authority when he comes to the alliance, this is the first time he has asked for someone, but the other party is still a person he didn't like very much before and now.
After a long time, Li Mu sighed, still let go of his previous pride, and said to Ouyang Feng: "That's the case, I heard that you plan to build a city in a fishing village, I don't know if this matter is true?"
Ouyang Feng glanced at Li Mu's deputy with a smile, and roughly guessed what Li Mu wanted to say, nodded affirmatively and said, "That's right, this matter has just begun to be planned." ”
Ouyang Feng didn't say much, he didn't have much interest in Li Mu, and waited with a smile for Li Mu to beg for himself, he enjoyed such a victory. Li Mu smiled miserably and said, "You should understand what I mean, do you really want to see me beg you? Actually, I don't need to do that at all." ”
Ouyang Feng sighed and said, "Alas, I know that you are for the alliance and for the victory of this war, and I also appreciate you for this, except for your foolishness and the things you have done to me. ”
Li Mu blushed a little and was silent. Ouyang Feng's heart was a little satisfied, and he knew that he would accept it when he saw it, and said: "I've thought about this matter, as a member of the alliance, I naturally hope that the alliance can win, don't worry, such a big piece of fat is not something that we and the Holy City can eat, and the two alliances will inevitably have a certain share." Of course, out of selfishness, I will leave some benefits for the people who are on our side in our alliance, and almost give half or more of it to my own people, and I want to leave this matter to you and the Fire Dragon seniors to deal with. ”
Li Mu pondered for a long time when he heard this, shook his head and said: "This is not good, the current alliance has a gap because of your affairs, if such interests are not worthy of being known to others, there will be greater opinions, if it is used by someone with a heart, maybe the alliance will fall apart, and the result will be unimaginable." ”
Ouyang Feng gritted his teeth and said, "What? Do you still want me to share the benefits with those guys who want to harm me?" Is this fair to me?" Li Mu sighed and shook his head, he knew that it was unfair to Ouyang Feng to do this, but for the sake of the overall situation, he still hoped that Ouyang Feng could let go of the rejection in his heart.
Anna pulled the corner of Ouyang Feng's clothes and whispered: "Senior Li Mu is right, it is best not to form a gang at this time, otherwise if there is a huge disagreement within the alliance, it is easy for the enemy to take advantage of it, think about it, if there is no containment of the Orion Alliance, with the strength of the Centaur Alliance, it will not be able to be deterred by relying on the Holy City alone, will they be willing to get only a little benefit at that time?"
Ouyang Feng pouted and said, "Are you still afraid that they won't succeed?"
Although he said so, Ouyang Feng also knew that Anna was right, if the Orion Alliance was defeated, then no matter how strong Qingyuan City was after it was built, it would not be able to withstand their ravage, and they would definitely turn their faces and snatch it because of the huge benefits of trading with sea beasts.
However, if the Orion Alliance can maintain stability, contain the Centaur Alliance, or even suppress the other party or defeat it directly, even if the people of the Orion Alliance covet this benefit, they will have scruples because Ouyang Feng belongs to the same camp, and they will not do so much.
Thinking about the pros and cons, Ouyang Feng sighed and laughed at himself and said, "It seems that that sentence is right, if you are not strong enough, you must learn to compromise." Well, I'll consider secretly giving the alliance some more benefits. ”
Li Mu smiled and said with a look of relief: "I knew that you were a person who took care of the overall situation. ”
Ouyang Feng rolled his eyes and said, "I don't know if the overall situation is not the big picture, and I can't manage it, so I know that I'm very unhappy now." After speaking, she stood up and walked out of the tent angrily, and Anna smiled apologetically at Li Mu and the others, and followed out.
It was the first time for Li Mu's deputy to see Li Mu talking to someone in such a low voice, and he didn't know that Ouyang Feng had a strong background, so he said a little unevenly: "My lord, is this young man too arrogant, why do you tolerate him again and again?"
Li Mu shook his head with a wry smile and said: "You will know this later, you remember one thing, you can hate him, you can hate him, you can even beat him, but you must not harm him, you know? If something happens to him, you, including me, will have to be unlucky together, I am not alarmist, you must remember this." ”
When Li Mu's subordinates heard this, they became more and more curious about what kind of secret Ouyang Feng had, which would make Li Mu so jealous of him, and nodded yes again and again, and the intention to secretly retaliate because of dissatisfaction in his heart slowly dissipated.
Outside the tent, Anna looked at Ouyang Feng in surprise, like looking at a stranger. Ouyang Feng smiled and said, "What's the matter? Do you think I've become mature?"
Anna rolled her eyes and said, "It's not maturity, it's self-righteousness." But speaking of which, I was surprised that you were able to divide the benefits between the two alliances. ”
Ouyang Feng sighed in frustration as he walked to the beach: "Like I said just now, there is no way, if you don't have enough strength, you have to learn to compromise and make concessions." Everyone knows how much the future benefits of Qingyuan City will be, if they don't give the two alliances some benefits, they can't give up, and when the time comes, they will have to bear the pressure of the two alliances, what will happen in the end?"
