Chapter 225 Negotiating

"Every time Su Xiaocai does something, there are unexpected developments, and you guys even picked the gifts."

"I saw someone else's marketing account and thought your fans were the opposite of Tian Gang. It turns out you don't want expensive products, you want poor workmanship."

"You guys are trying to make me laugh to death."

“Although I didn’t get a gift, I made the same one myself.”

"Hahaha, Su Xiaocai is the group's favorite now. So, where did she go?"

"Don't ask where the admiral is going. No one dares to answer you."

"With so many big guys, maybe one of them went to negotiate."

Many people are paying attention to the visitor from the empire. Naturally, this kind of claim-based negotiation cannot allow the public to know the inside story. No matter how much is gained, it is all an internal arrangement.

There are probably only a few things that can be revealed, but sending out some signals in advance will help.

The first negotiation came just five days later.

The empire sent three ministers, one of whom had sharp eyes, a hooked nose, and was obviously ambitious. He was the younger brother of the king of the empire and could make the decisions.

I've met the other two before.

Their aircraft carrier is still on Blue Star. They were able to come here because the Ten Stars arranged an aircraft carrier to pick them up.

There were ten people in total, including bodyguards and nannies. From the moment they came in, they could only move within a small area.

The conversation took place in a conference room. Five people were sitting at the table on the Empire side.

There are also five people on the Ten Stars side.

Su Xiaocai sits on the left.

Among the five faces, she is the youngest, has the most murderous look in her eyes, and looks like the type that can explode at any time.

After all, she is young, and no one would blame her if she suddenly beat someone up, and it does not affect her military position. She is simply a panacea.

She was responsible for playing that role, just so that the empire could discuss things calmly.

Su Xiaocai suspected that the person who gave her the honorary title of general had this in mind.

Su Xiaocai felt a little tired of acting: It took so much effort to get more things!

The Empire opposite sat down calmly, glanced at the person opposite, and saw a girl sitting in a more casual posture, unlike the others who sat so upright.

She played with two heavy jade balls, her nimble fingers controlling the rotation of the jade without making any sound.

Empire introduced himself first, and the translator next to his ear translated simultaneously. Of course, a translator was also provided to prevent translator errors.

The Ten Stars also briefly introduced the staff composition. When they introduced Su Xiaocai, they paused and said, "This is the pride of our Ten Stars, Admiral Su. He is also one of the highest guiding professors in the scientific research department."

Su Xiaocai's hands trembled, and she tried hard to steady the jade in her hand. No one had ever told her that she was the highest instructor professor.

Suddenly I remembered Professor Ai's move to pull people into the scientific research department's private communication platform with ulterior motives.

She was cheated again. All the old guys were playing tricks on her.

Knowing that it would be difficult to achieve the goal by negotiating conditions with her directly, it would be better to lure her with bait. Once she takes the bait, the position will be immediately given to her.

The supervising professor is similar to an honorary general. He is occasionally brought out to show around as a figurehead, and then he can go back.

If Su Xiaocai doesn't like it, the worst that can happen is that she can quit the platform and return her position.

Although this position pays well and has few chores, it does require responsibility. Su Xiaocai lowered her head to check the platform and clicked into her private information.

The virtual title of general with different honors and a monthly salary of more than 200,000 are written in the information.

Very good, it is right for her to take responsibility. Su Xiaocai just needs to clarify the scope of her job when the time comes. Even if she no longer works for the company, she can still live a good life.

After regaining her good mood, Su Xiaocai sat there calmly, with her eyelids drooping, not saying a word.

It gives people a very arrogant feeling and clearly shows disdain for the empire.

The empire loves this. If you are too gentle with them, they will become more arrogant.

With Su Xiaocai in control, the opening was very peaceful.

There was a long list of names that the imperial diplomats wanted to redeem, and several professors were on it.

As if they knew that Ten Star had a big appetite, they offered a very low price at the beginning.

The Ten Stars asked them to redeem all the people, otherwise they would not be able to redeem any of them.

The Empire does not want to pay for the lower-class people who cannot be taken away at all, but the Ten Stars had proposed this redemption principle earlier. Whether you take them away or not has nothing to do with the Ten Star Republic.

After discussing this issue for a long time, seeing that Ten Stars really didn't want to give in, Empire asked for a halftime break and to drink some water to relax.

Su Xiaocai yawned, and the diplomat next to her asked her to hold it in, smiled ingratiatingly, and gave her some snacks.

It would be better to go back and cut wood than to listen to them arguing with each other.

When they came back to negotiate, the people of the empire agreed to redeem everyone, even if they couldn't take them away.

After that, we will officially enter the stage of interest involvement.

The diplomat asked to see the conditions of several nobles, then the professors and mecha masters.

This is what they wished for.

Imperial Diplomat: "We want to talk to them and make sure they are who we want and not imposters."

"You can only talk to three people."

"You can't go too far."

"You are the ones who are going too far. The prisoners are still in our hands. We can do whatever we want. We are just giving you some face. This is the etiquette we give to outsiders. It is not a reason for you to push your luck."

We know exactly what is in everyone's mind. We think of what you think of, and we also think of what you can't think of.

Be strong when you need to be strong.

But once you have promised, you won't regret it.

The three of them talked and let them choose.

Shixing listed the portraits and names of all the key figures, except for the places where they were detained.

Su Xiaocai took a quick look and found the order very strange, with no distinction between men and women. It looked like it was randomly arranged, and yet there was something inexplicably strange about it.

After a while, the Empire discussed and came to a conclusion.

The three captives to be interviewed are two male nobles and one female scientist.

Next, the people from the Empire walked aside, and the people from the Ten Stars handed over the communication equipment.

After they finished talking and confirmed that the Ten Stars were not being harsh on them, they had to sit back down and continue the frustrating negotiations.

"You need to compensate for this list, and also pay the fine for the illegal mooring of large warships..."

Then we need to break down the problems that arise for each civilian, find out how much it costs to solve them, and then we will get the actual redemption fee.

It was the first time that Su Xiaocai saw the list. She scrolled down for more than a minute before she reached the bottom.

This is no longer treating a sucker, Shixing is treating himself as the creditor.

The attitude of the Ten Stars is very clear. Those debtors in your empire do not have to pay back the debts, but those you want to redeem will die immediately. Then they will go to your side in their place, and it is hard to say who will be sent.

But as a creditor, it is only natural to take away valuable things.
The Empire simply wanted to give up the conversation, especially the king's younger brother, who roared and swore, calling Ten Stars despicable and ungrateful.

The people on Su Xiaocai's side were no pushovers either. They cursed more fluently and elegantly.

They said the empire deserved it, and there was no point in being proud of defeat. If you have the guts, you should win. If you lose, you should hold it in. That's the general idea.

It's better than the vegetable market, but not much better. Behind closed doors, people can even fight, let alone verbal fights.

Su Xiaocai stared back and forth with cat eyes.

Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to do this? If you can't reach an agreement, why don't you just walk away for a while?

But since it involves huge interests, no one wants to give in.
Someone next to her tugged at Su Xiaocai's sleeve, raised his eyebrows, and gave her a silent look.

"Oh oh." Su Xiaocai took the jade and wanted to crush it with Qi. She found that the Qi was attached to it, and it was not like using a sword normally, where the Qi could only pass through but could not be retained.

The Qi was taken back and the jade was safe and sound. This was super pure jade. The two clear jades looked like two glass balls, but you could tell they were different just by holding them in your hand.

It was retained but not used. Is it the structure or the material that played a role?
Su Xiaocai couldn't wait to go back and study it.

About two minutes later, the person next to her pulled Su Xiaocai again.

They kept arguing for who knows how long. Su Xiaocai slapped the heavy metal table with his big hands, and the places where he slapped turned into powder.

The room suddenly became quiet as a chicken.

Su Xiaocai picked up a tissue and wiped her hands. "Your Empire is the party at fault and the loser. I hope you can accept the compensation conditions calmly. If you don't accept it, get out."

The diplomats from the Ten-Star Republic were shocked. The process was not like that and it could still be discussed. The ransom plan they offered could even empty out an entire galaxy.

"Okay, you guys continue talking. Give me a new jade ball. I used too much force just now and it cracked." Su Xiaocai felt aggrieved.

She shouldn't have pressed it on the table just now, what a pity.

The ten people present glanced at her table and said, "Very good! She is worthy of being the one to rule the place."

The Empire calmed down, and the Ten Stars also drank some hot tea and talked slowly.

If we can't discuss it well today, we can continue tomorrow. It was all their fault just now because it was too noisy.

We couldn't talk much on the first day, and could only test the waters and make concessions one by one.

Su Xiaocai sat for a whole day and her back became straight.

Just as he was leaving the door, the king's younger brother came up to him and said to Su Xiaocai, "General Su is young and promising. I heard that they are unwilling to let you go to the battlefield. What's the point of being a general? Our empire is different. The strong should get more power, and the inferiors are your property..."

What he meant was that the admiral of the empire was not the highest position, and there was still one more step to take, where one could enjoy all the resources of the empire and govern the country together with these superiors.

The power they can grant is very great, so great that they can decide the life and death of many people at any time.

Su Xiaocai spoke slowly: "In other words, we have to fight to the death and share the benefits with despicable people like you who lie flat on your back."

The collective expressions of the Imperial personnel fell.

How can they have the nerve to speak with such eloquence?

It's good enough for her to just lie down and take three thousand, at least she can feel at ease.

I really feel sorry for the soldiers of the empire. Their lives are about to be lost, but they still have to protect a bunch of idiots.

The ten-star official saw this and sneered at her, saying that she would not eat the power that was put in her mouth.

Will you go to the empire to work as a laborer to support you nobles?
"It's not impossible for you to win me over to the empire. The first step is to take off your king's head and become the queen myself. It's the survival of the fittest. I'm the strongest, and I deserve to wear the crown." Su Xiaocai looked at their grim faces, turned around and walked away humming a song happily.

No one thought she was lying, but the people in the empire were embarrassed.

Admiral Bai watched their negotiation from outside. He rubbed Su Xiaocai's head vigorously and said, "Good job, you are so arrogant."

"I feel so childish." Su Xiaocai prepared herself mentally for a long time before saying these words.

When dealing with people from the empire, you don't have to be too gentle, just be provocative.

In their opinion, Su Xiaocai is the strongest. If they give her the opportunity to grow, she will become even stronger.

Countries that advocate the use of force are actually very easy to control. If you are strong enough and suppress their arrogance, they will naturally submit.

"How long will it take?"

"About ten days."

Su Xiaocai: "Change, change, I have something important to do."

Once she got there, she couldn't leave. General Bai came personally the next day to drag her back to her seat yesterday.

Su Xiaocai was full of resentment throughout the whole process and didn't like anyone.

The translator next to her prepared a lot of jade balls for her and said with a smile: "Play with them." She sat down obediently and served as a presence.

The subsequent processes were similar, and after several days of discussion, we finally confirmed all compensation resources.

Finally, Su Xiaocai asked to add one more item: jade, a large amount of high-quality jade.

In addition to the things mentioned above, she also wanted jade.

High-quality jade is worth some money, and no one thought she wanted to enter the jewelry industry, so they all wanted to know why she liked jade.

Who knows what Su Xiaocai wants to bring?

Adding jade would not cause much impact, so her request was met.

The big guy is tinkering with things, so let her do it. Maybe she can even come up with something fanciful and tinker with god-level weapons.

Don’t think that the matter is over once you’ve discussed compensation. You also need to discuss how to pick up the person and leave.

The people were deliberately dispersed, naturally because they didn't want to be rescued by the empire. If they could save one, how could they save a second one?

Before picking someone up, compensation must be in place.

The Empire wanted to take them back one by one, but the Ten Stars did not allow it.

Ten Stars was given a year to prepare, with a quarter paid first.

If the delay lasts for a month, the compensation amount will increase by 10%. Don’t underestimate that 10%, the interest will compound. If the delay lasts for a long time, the Ten Stars will be able to justifiably demand a star system from them.

The rest is really not something Su Xiaocai can talk about. She came here just to eat melons, but she didn't eat the melons before she started working.

After these days, I thought the melons were gone and prepared to return.

Hu Ping ran over and handed Su Xiaocai a tablet, which was showing a video of a fierce fight between two gangs.

Ji Heng behind him also came. He was wearing a military uniform, tall and handsome, holding a bouquet of flowers and handed it to her.

The flower language represented by this flower is eternal love and it is usually given to relatives.

Su Xiaocai chuckled and held the bouquet, "You guys are quite good at it."

Hu Ping massaged Su Xiaocai's shoulders. "Surprised?"

"Is this a live broadcast or are you guys going to calm the scene down."

"Of course it's live. Instructor Fan didn't dare to come to you, so we had to come." Hu Ping pulled over a stool and sat next to Su Xiaocai. "Last time I sent the photo of me pretending to kiss you to Brother Ji, hehe, sure enough, he couldn't help it. Please call me to assist the little prince."

Hu Ping held his chin up, holding his own nonchalant and handsome face, and leaned closer and said, "Master, praise me quickly, I succeeded in helping you kidnap your mistress."

"Thank you, but we're not together yet." Su Xiaocai patted his face, "You'd better behave yourself, or you'll probably get beaten up the next time you see Ji Li."

"Can he beat me?"

"I'll fight for him."

Hu Ping was speechless and said that if they were not together, she would beat him up for him. (End of this chapter)
