Chapter 738: Bargaining
Compared with killing his own compatriots himself, Wang Luochen's attitude of not taking the lives of the tyrants seriously made Qi Zan even more angry.
However, anger is anger, but he did not make a move against Wang Luochen because of this.
He tried to restrain his emotions and said to Wang Luochen: "You earthlings have a saying called 'If you don't do it, you won't die', I don't know if you have heard it? I hope you remember this sentence." Because, one day, you will pay the price for your words and deeds today. Okay, without further ado, I'm here to ask you for someone. Prince Doren personally promised that as long as you put our people back, he would not be held accountable for this incident. Otherwise, when the army overwhelms the border, I'm afraid this little Georgetown will be in ruins, right?"
"I have exposed your evil deeds, ruined your plans, killed your men, robbed your spaceship, and Prince Doron will be so broad-minded that he will let us go as he pleases? Oh, yes, either there are people in our group of captives who are important to him, or because of the uproar this incident has caused on the whole planet, he is afraid that his actions against us will provoke the anger of the whole world, and lead to an unmanageable situation, and it will not end well, right? Of course, maybe both. ”
In the face of Qi Zan's threat, Wang Luochen did not show weakness, and pointed out the reason why the Earth Royal Court of the Overlord wanted him to negotiate.
After hearing this, Qi Zan couldn't help but feel a little surprised in his heart. This is because the young man in front of him can have such vision and wisdom, which is beyond his imagination.
How could he so accurately judge the reason why the Earth Royal Court did not directly send troops to encircle and suppress Georgetown, but only entrusted him to negotiate with them? This is enough to show that this young man is not simple.
Before that, although he had fought with Wang Luochen twice, he didn't look at him at all. But now, after hearing his words, he was immediately impressed by him in his heart.
He felt that Wang Luochen was a character, and if he was allowed to grow up, maybe he would really become a big trouble for the empire. For this reason, he couldn't help but secretly plan in his heart that after solving the affairs of Georgetown, he would find a way to get rid of him.
With such thoughts, the anger in his heart was not as strong as it was just now.
He looked at Wang Luochen coldly, and said to him as if he were looking at a dead man: "Even if what you say is right? The initiative of how to solve the matter is not the same and is not in your hands. I advise you, it's best to do as the Earth Court asks right away. Otherwise, if the Earth Court loses patience, Georgetown will definitely be bulldozed. When the time comes, even you will probably die without a place to bury. ”
Objectively speaking, although Qi Zan's words are not good, they are reasonable. Due to the huge disparity in strength between the two sides, the resistance army of Georgetown and Wang Luochen's army were not opponents of the Berserker Star army at all. If it really starts, Wang Luochen's side will definitely be defeated.
In that case, not only would they not be able to complete their mission to form an alliance with the Blood Clan, but the people of Georgetown would also be harmed.
From this point of view, Wang Luochen is also unwilling to fight this battle.
However, even if this is the case, it is impossible for him to obediently hand over the hostages according to the wishes of the Earth Royal Court.
You must know that once they have no hostages in their hands, it is equivalent to having no bargaining chips to deal with the Earth Royal Court. That would lead them into greater passivity, so that he wouldn't be so stupid.
With this consideration, Wang Luochen naturally couldn't agree to the other party's request.
So, he said to Qi Zan, "Although you talk like a fart, it stinks." But I have to admit that there is still a little truth to this stinky fart of yours. However, your words, while justified, are not entirely correct. Because, who can guarantee that if we hand over the people, the earth court will not repent? If we have no hostages, and they repent, they will send a large army to surround us. Wouldn't we just have to sit back and wait? So, I can't agree to your request. ”
"Hmph! We've made the heaviest promise. If you don't pursue it, you will definitely not pursue it. You don't need to worry about that. If you don't think what I'm saying is credible, we can sign a treaty between us. Qi Zan was bent on completing the task given to him by the Earth Royal Court, regardless of Wang Luochen's attitude, he still tried very hard to persuade him to release him.
"Words have no evidence, but words are proof. It's a solution, but it's still not the best way to solve the problem. Therefore, I still can't accept it. Unless you do what I say, don't want me to release him. If the Earth Court is angry because of this, they will send an army to surround us. Well, I'll just kill the more than 10,000 prisoners of war in my hands first, and then I'll fight you again. ”
Promises can be renegotiated, and treaties can be torn up. I want to use a dead letter to deceive myself and hand people over. Wang Luochen thought that the other party was simply too whimsical.
"Your solution, I'm pretty sure your solution is not satisfactory, but I'd like to hear what you think. So you say it. ”
Negotiation is when people sit together and discuss solutions to problems. Of course, Qi Zan would not fail to give Wang Luochen a chance to speak.
Wang Luochen smiled slightly and said, "If you want to hear it or not, I will tell you my method." Speaking of which, my approach is also very simple. As for people, I can put it. After all, we in Georgetown don't have that much food to feed so many useless idlers. But they cannot hand them all over to you at once, as you say. Rather, it is returned once a year, in batches of 100 people at a time. In the meantime, you can't take any action against Georgetown. Agreed?"
"Partial deliveries are not entirely impossible. It's just that your number is too small. As you say, it will take more than 100 years for you to fully hand over more than 10,000 people to us. So, we have to agree on the number of people and the time for return. In my opinion, it is more reasonable to put all the people back in three years after three years. I don't know what you think?"
Negotiation is the process of bargaining between the two sides on certain issues.
Qi Zan's purpose in coming here was to get people, so when the two sides officially started negotiations, he did not say that he only insisted on his own ideas and did not take care of the interests of the other party. Because if you do that, the two sides will not be able to talk at all.
Of course, Wang Luochen understands this truth. Therefore, he did not insist on the hundred-year plan he just mentioned, but bargained with Qi Zan on this issue.
In the end, after a war of words of persuasion and counter-persuasion. Wang Luochen and Qi Zan finally reached an agreement.
