Chapter XVIII Negotiations
Although it was not clear who the prince was looking for, the fourth prince instinctively felt that something was wrong. The current situation is already very bad, and with the help of someone who can help him, his last hope will be cut off.
"Your Highness, we need to find an ally. The adviser of the four princes said.
Hearing this, the fourth prince was a little impatient, he had long wanted to find an ally, but he couldn't find it to have such a headache, so he said unkindly: "If it's just such nonsense, don't come in the future." ”
After hearing the unkind words of the fourth prince, the strategist only smiled slightly and said, "Your Highness, we currently have a very suitable candidate, Austin. ”
"Austin?" The fourth prince had naturally heard of this name, although it was only a small lord of the kingdom, but because of Xia Feng Chamber of Commerce and Bai Tingyue, he had to pay attention.
"Yes, Your Highness, first of all, he has the formula for gunpowder, although General Bai Tingyue also has it in his hands, but in terms of the gunpowder sold by the Xia Feng Chamber of Commerce recently, it has surpassed the gunpowder mastered by General Bai Tingyue, if he can get the formula of gunpowder from Austin, he will definitely be appreciated by His Majesty the Emperor. Secondly, his Xia Feng Chamber of Commerce has a wealth that rivals the wealth of the country, and finally, he needs the empire to have someone who can restrict the existence of General Bai Tingyue. Mutual needs are the prerequisite for alliances. The advisor said.
After hearing this, the fourth prince began to think, this person is indeed very suitable for an alliance. The hottest gunpowder at present comes from here, if you get the support of such a person, you can indeed get a lot of help, and you can even take this opportunity to win over Bai Tingyue.
"Then send a messenger. ”
Kingdom Town
"Your Royal Highness, we are the envoys of the four princes of the empire, and we are very interested in learning about the gunpowder you have made, and hope to develop and cooperate with you. ”
"Well, as much as I want to say, please talk to Charlotte about this matter. Li Feng said, about the negotiation, because he didn't know much about it, so it was handed over to Charlotte and Karen to deal with, which was a reasonable but correct judgment, but only this judgment made the envoy of the four princes think that he was being treated slowly.
"Do you think we are not qualified to talk to us?" said the envoy of the four princes, dissatisfied.
"Not really, if you really want to cooperate, you naturally have to negotiate in detail...... Wait, now it belongs to the technology monopoly, and if you want to get the technology, you don't have a choice. Li Feng suddenly realized, then looked at the envoy and asked, "What can you provide if you cooperate?"
The envoy handed a gift list to Li Feng and said, "These are the conditions we offer. ”
"Funds, people, materials, technology sharing. After Li Feng looked at it, he felt that the other party's sincerity was still quite good, but he still couldn't make a decision, and it was really more reasonable for Kalian to make a decision for this kind of thing.
"Everyone, please rest for now, and I'll get back to you tomorrow. Li Feng said.
"Hmm"
After Kalian came here, she looked at the other party's conditions and said, "This technique, in addition to us, is also the Nangong family that has been hiding in the organ city. It's impossible for them to know from other places, so we can raise the price. ”
"Haven't you ever thought about the monopoly of technology?" asked Li Feng.
Karene said: "As for gunpowder, we have now successfully improved it, and it is already black powder. So, even if we give the recipe to the other party, there is no threat to us. ”
Li Feng looked at Charlotte, and after Charlotte thought for a moment, she said, "If the four princes cooperate with us, they can restrict Bai Tingyue's peeping on us, which is very suitable." It's just that he may not be Bai Tingyue's opponent, so it's better to mention the conditions higher. ”
Hearing Charlotte and Karen's words, Li Feng nodded and agreed. Then after smiling, he thought, "Sure enough, the true nature of capitalists is exploitation, and this is to trap each other." ”
"The other party should have agreed, but I think they will still talk about the conditions. A messenger said.
The other disagreed, saying, "Will the lord of the other side negotiate for these? ”
"That Austin is still easy to understand. At first, he didn't plan to take care of this matter, he really wanted to take this matter to heart, obviously he didn't take those technologies to heart, so it seems that the result is nothing more than two, the first is that he doesn't know the value of these technologies, and the other is that he has more advanced technology. If it's the first, we can rest assured, but if it's the second, we have to be careful of being pitted. ”
"If it's the second one, how do we guard against it?"
"I don't know, but I guess it's the right sincerity. After all, the palace master meant that it was enough to get such a technique first. So, if there is really a new technology, then use this as a condition and keep the condition down. With the latest technology, the other party will not simply let go. ”
"Hmm"
The next day, the messenger came to the main hall, and there were no guards on the main hall, only four people, Austin, sitting on the top seats, and it was obvious that they did not take this action too seriously.
The one with a gloomy face on the side should be Gray, who seems to be the secret whistle of the power of the master, such a person seems to see through the two of them, which is terrifying.
The woman on the other side is Charlotte, this woman has studied a lot before she comes, and she is the most difficult person.
As for the woman named Kalian, there was no such person in the information before she came, but this person was enough to be in the center of power, and it seems that she still did not have a thorough understanding of the layout of Austin's power.
"Although the other party does not know our technology, as the first technical exchange, it is better to be more formal, so that it is convenient for future reference. Li Feng said, and then looked at Kalian.
Karen nodded and said, "The things proposed by the four princes involve a total of twenty-five techniques from our here, which are ......" Karian began to list one by one, hearing the two envoys dumbfounded, seeing the expressions of the two, Li Feng couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart, originally wanted to lower the conditions, but after listening to these things, after not knowing the powerful things, bargaining was already impossible, and finally after signing all the agreements, it took a long time after leaving the hall before the two came back to their senses, but, they didn't feel a loss at all, but felt that the other party was really full of sincerity, this thick piece of information completely made people feel full of sincerity.
