Chapter 274: The way of doing business - shameless
"What you said is true. Materials are indeed the most important thing. But since you have already solved my doubts, why do you have the nerve to do anything convenient for me?
How about this? As we all know, there are many strange minerals in the Liyue rock formation area, and the ordinary minerals are also better than other places. I'm really sorry to bother you anymore, so I'll just do it myself. "
Who doesn't know how to be thick-skinned? It's better to be thick-skinned. Zuo Xi has never been afraid of anyone. The White Wolf with Empty Gloves is not exclusive to you Ning Guang. After laying the groundwork, he revealed the next conditions.
"I heard that the Strata Rock Abyss is tending to be unsealed recently. As support from friendly countries, the Fools can explore it first. The troops that were previously withdrawn to support Strata Rock can also be restored.
Since it is assistance, there is of course no reason to receive payment. However, Liyue is known for its etiquette and civility in Teyvat. If word spreads, it may damage your country's reputation.
Let's do this. Just express your opinion. Just half of the mining rights for the Strata Abyss will be enough. "
Zuo Xi's words can no longer be regarded as a lion's mouth. It is almost equivalent to throwing Liyue's face on the ground, then repeatedly rubbing and stamping it in front of Ningguang, and then lifting it up, turning it over and stamping on it.
Even Sky Island could hear clearly what he did with his abacus. It sounds nice to say that it is just for fun and exploration, but after the fools are gone, all the good things will be theirs.
What's more, he also plans to resume the army's garrison. Although in the short term, the Strata Abyss does need military assistance, it is said that it is easier to ask the gods than to send them away. After this wave of turmoil passes, it will be difficult to send these troops away.
This is not over yet. The first two items are obviously beneficial to the fool, but he still uses them as a bargaining chip to exchange for half of the mining rights of the bed rock.
As the largest mining area in Liyue, and even in the entire Teyvat, Zuo Xi, as a foreign envoy, asked for half of it as soon as he opened his mouth. This matter is as outrageous as saying to Pantalone, "Northland Bank gives me half."
"In my humble opinion, it would be better to hand over the full rights to the stratum rock mining to you. This way, there will be less coordination and the mining efficiency will be higher."
Ning Guang was used to seeing this kind of scene. Asking for high prices and paying back the money is the most common negotiation method in business wars. Even if the other party puts forward conditions such as "Didn't Morax die recently? Is this the position of the Rock King? Why don't I sit here?" She will not accept it. Feel surprised.
Anyway, in the final analysis, it’s just oral pleasure, and no one cares about the content of the oral pleasure. If you are serious, you will lose.
"That's very good. I'd like to thank you, Lord Ningguang. Shall we sign a contract now?"
"This is the end of the active atmosphere. Your Excellency Zuo Xi, please make some real conditions."
……
"It's a pleasure to work with you. It's getting late, so I'll take my leave first."
After a very boring war of words, the two finally reached a consensus. Zuo Xi designed the internal mechanical structure of Qunyu Pavilion for Ningguang, and Ningguang promised to give the other party the right to jointly explore the bedrock.
The so-called joint mining means that any mining operations under the layer of rock in winter must be supervised by Liyue official professionals.
And the two parties have reached a long-term cooperation, and the ore mined by Zhidong will be owned by Zhidong after paying part of the tax. The rest will be sold to Zhidong first after meeting Liyue's local needs.
In addition, the two parties are also making a bet on "rebuilding Qunyu Pavilion". If Ningguang wins, Zuo Xi will be asked to make a contract and help once Liyue Port issues a request.
And if Zuo Xi wins, he will still help, but the above conditions become two-way, even if Zhi Dong sends a request, Ning Guang must also respond. At the same time, Qunyu Pavilion had to be renamed "Liuxi Palace" and an official announcement was posted to the entire Liyue.
Overall, Ning Guang is not a loser in any way. After all, regardless of victory or defeat, the conditions she wants can be met. And since it was a private bet, only two parties were responsible.
This means that the condition of "responding to the call for help" applies only to the two of them. Although she is confident, Ning Guang is still very self-aware. Her help and Zuo Xi's help were not things that could be placed on either side of the scale.
As for changing his name...if he really wins, then why not change his name?
But in fact, Zuo Xi was not at a loss. After all, a disaster that could threaten Liyue's life and death would inevitably affect the entire Teyvat. In line with the principle of lip loss and teeth cold, he will also help. It doesn't matter to him how miserable other countries are except Zhi Dong, but there is one bottom line: the country cannot be subjugated.
After all, he didn't dare to bet on whether Heavenly Law would intervene at that time.
All in all, this transaction may be profitable for Ningguang, but Zuo Xi will never suffer a loss.
"Sir, don't worry. The little lady has prepared a dinner. How about having a light meal before leaving?"
Although the negotiation process was overt and covert, both of them did an excellent job on the surface. What's more, in terms of the results, both parties are very satisfied.
As the saying goes, business cannot be concluded without benevolence and righteousness. According to Liyue's rules, whether a cooperation is negotiated or not, they should end by having a meal together. So Ningguang's invitation is reasonable.
"That's not necessary. My companion is a bit particular about food. Of course I believe that Miss Ningguang can satisfy everything, but I still feel sorry for the trouble.
What's more, the competition between us is not over yet. How about we wait until everything is over to get together again? "
"In that case, sir, please go slowly. Ningguang will see you off not far away. Don't forget the little girl's thoughts when you leave."
Of course Ningguang was referring to the two gifts given when they first met, which were the hope for her to vent her bad breath. If the other party didn't take it away, her preparations would be in vain.
"How dare you forget the gift from the young lady? It has already been packed away."
……
"How does it feel?"
After coming out of Ningguang Mansion, Zuo Xi asked Shen He.
"...It's very thoughtful. I shouldn't be very good at dealing with it."
"Oh? Why is that?"
Since Shen He was placed in the guest room when the formal negotiations began, he was entertained by Baiwen. Therefore, her impression of Ningguang was limited to the initial trial between the other party and Zuo Xi.
As I said before, Shen He just lacks common sense and has different emotions than ordinary people. She is not stupid. On the contrary, her mind is very sensitive. Just from the two rounds of testing just now, she can feel that Ningguang's mind is deep and deep.
Perhaps it was due to preconceptions. Although the master's friend next to her was also a very dignified person, he did not make her absolutely "unable to cope with it". On the other hand, Ning Guang made her stay away from him.
and……
"...the people who followed us before were sent by her, right?"
