Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 115: Negotiation skills

Views:

Tian Erhe was not confused by the fancy name, and asked rather weakly:

"What exactly is it?"

Jiang Baimian had already thought about his rhetoric, and replied quite fluently:

"In short, you have to provide the company with the information and books you have obtained, and at the same time, some transactions that are not convenient for some companies to directly come forward may also be placed here.

"In addition, if there are members of the company who need a foothold or some help, you can't refuse.

"And what you get is:

"Better weapons, more bullets, wider knowledge, more productive grain seeds, cheaper cotton, cloth, medicine and salt..."

Hearing the latter paragraph, including Li Zhengfei, all the people in Shuiwei Town in the room were moved.

For a settlement that can barely achieve self-sufficiency in food, weapons, bullets, cotton, cloth, medicine, and salt are all in short supply. Every day they worry about where to buy and trade. thing.

In the past, they mainly obtained it by excavating the ruins of the city, but over the years, countless relic hunters and wilderness wanderers have come and gone, and the necessities of life in the safer ruins have long been removed.

This makes the residents of Shuiwei Town either go to more dangerous places to explore, or go to other settlements to make transactions. The location of Shuiwei Town is hidden, and only a few people who have their trust know how to get there and can complete the business. The number is inevitably limited.

"It's acceptable..." Tian Erhe, who was lying on the head of the bed, looked at Jiang Baimian and nodded lightly, "What else?"

Jiang Baimian said sternly:

"The company will also send an armed team of more than 20 people here to help you train the members of the town guard and make them more powerful."

The expressions of the residents of Shuiwei Town who were present changed at the same time, some panicked, some condensed, and some alert.

As far as they are concerned, whether it is to provide information, help in transactions, or give shelter, they are all things that do not affect their core interests. If a fully armed team is stationed in Shuiwei Town, it means that they have lost the real meaning. dominance.

This is unacceptable to many people.

Before Li Zhengfei spoke, Jiang Baimian smiled and added:

"I have submitted the location of Shuiwei Town to the company."

After dropping this "bomb", she swept across the faces of other people in Shuiwei Town in turn.

None of those people dared to look at her, and lowered their heads one after another.

They secretly looked at Bai Chen with resentment, and complained that she had simply betrayed the trust of the mayor by bringing people from "Pangu Creatures" to Shuiwei Town so easily.

As a result, they have no room for negotiation at all now. A promise is a promise, and they will be forced to agree if they do not.

A big force can't break through such a small settlement

Long Yuehong, who was next to him, was a little dazed, because he remembered that the team leader promised Bai Chen not to tell the company the location of Shuiwei Town in advance, and the report she submitted did blur this point.

Long Yuehong glanced at Shang Jianyao, and found that he moved his mouth lightly and uttered a word silently.

As someone who doesn't know how to read lips, Long Yuehong can only guess what Shang Jianyao is saying based on inspiration.

He should be saying:

"fraud."

Tian Erhe was silent for a while, then coughed violently:

"No, it's unacceptable."

"Yeah..." Li Zhengfei exhaled slowly.

The expressions of the others recovered one after another, and they asked in a hurry:

"Where will they live at that time? There are no rooms in these buildings. We can't let everyone vacate their own rooms, right?"

"Do they bring their own food, or do we provide it, and will they be compensated?"

Long Yuehong was very surprised to hear these questions, as if she didn't understand the current situation.

He was clearly discussing a matter of life and death for a town, so why did he suddenly enter the stage of calculating petty profits

Even if you are forced to agree and can only accept it, there are still many important issues that need to be discussed and confirmed!

When the chaos subsided, Tian Erhe sighed and said:

"Anyway, old man, I won't be able to live for long. When the time comes, I'll vacate this room and the conference room, separate it, and provide it to the people of 'Pangu Creatures'..."

"Mayor, you'll be fine, Pangu has a very good doctor." Bai Chen eagerly relieved Tian Erhe.

Tian Erhe smiled:

"Man, how can you not die?"

"Mechanical monk can..." Shang Jianyao, who was next to him, replied.

Then, Jiang Baimian glared at him and silently closed his mouth.

Tian Erhe was not affected, and looked at the residents of Shuiwei Town in the room:

"You guys, what else do you think?"

Now that the mayor has made a promise, it seems that his own interests will not be damaged, so the others will not hold on to this issue any more, shaking their heads one after another to say no.

Tian Erhe looked at Jiang Baimian again, hesitated and said:

"What's your company's attitude towards those people in the square?"

He was referring to the large number of residents in the middle and lower classes of Shuiwei Town, who were mostly "outsiders".

Jiang Baimian replied without hesitation:

"Everyone is a valuable resource for the company and will not be easily given up."

Seeing that many people in the room showed disdain or dissatisfaction, she said with a smile:

"The company will also give several places every year to reward those who have made great contributions or have outstanding talents, and let them become regular employees of the company and enjoy corresponding treatment.

"Just like us."

Seeing these bright outsiders, the residents of Shuiwei Town who were present were obviously excited.

They felt that those few places were prepared for them.

How can ordinary townspeople have the opportunity to make great contributions

As for how good it is to become a regular employee of "Pangu Biology", they can't imagine for the time being. They can only intuitively see the gap from Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao.

"That's good, that's good..." Tian Erhe breathed a sigh of relief, a little smile on the corners of his brows and eyes.

His body seemed to shrink down a little:

"do you have anything else?"

"That's about it." Jiang Baimian did not stimulate the nerves of the residents in Shuiwei Town. "If you want, we can send someone to help you design a new management system to improve labor efficiency and prevent people from being lazy."

She deliberately put this matter in the direction of how to manage other townspeople.

Seeing that no one had any objection, Tian Erhe said with a little difficulty:

"Then it's settled.

"Zhengfei, what do you think?"

Li Zhengfei thought for a few seconds and replied:

"I'm OK."

Seeing this, Jiang Baimian immediately turned his head to Long Yuehong in order to avoid long dreams at night:

"You and Shang Jianyao go and get the radio transceiver."

She didn't directly instruct Shang Jianyao, because she was worried that the certified mental patient would reply, and the current situation is obviously not suitable for doing so.

"Okay." Long Yuehong is very active when she rarely plays a role.

After He Shang Jian Yao left the small building, he glanced left and right, and said in a low voice:

"The team leader said just now that he has reported his position to the company, is he lying to them?"

Take the initiative to take the initiative to negotiate!

"Is he lying to you?" Shang Jianyao asked rhetorically.

Knowing that she guessed right, Long Yuehong retorted slightly happily:

"That's not impossible."

"If she wants to lie to you, you won't find out at all." Shang Jianyao glanced at his companion.

"...Yes." Long Yuehong couldn't deny it.

In Tian Erhe's room, after seeing Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong go out, Li Zhengfei asked tentatively:

"Should we convene everyone now and announce this matter?"

Tian Erhe glanced at him, coughed and said:

"Need not.

"You just agree.

"When the 'Pangu Creatures' team arrives, it will not be too late to announce it."

"Yes." Jiang Baimian agreed.

She was worried about an accident.

Although the conditions for the opening of "Pangu Creatures" will not cause any substantial harm to the townspeople in the middle and lower classes of Shuiwei Town, but instead will bring them a lot of benefits, but similar promises are always made before they are truly realized. Suspect.

Moreover, huge changes will inevitably lead to fluctuations in people's hearts, and they are not stable enough.

In this case, people will be very sensitive and prone to irrational behavior. If a few ambitious or extreme people take the lead, the situation will often spiral out of control.

When the team of "Pangu Creatures" enters, under the pressure of powerful firepower, everyone will definitely not dare to have "opinions" for a while, and they can watch the promises are realized little by little in a stable manner, and life is slowly getting better. I can sincerely accept this.

The words of Tian Erhe and Jiang Baimian made many townspeople in the room feel completely at ease, feeling that their status would not be shaken and would not be on the same level as those in the square.

It didn't take long for Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong to bring up the radio transceiver.

Jiang Baimian immediately wrote the contents of the telegram and showed it to everyone here.

The above is mainly to say that Shuiwei Town has agreed to sign the terms of friendship and cooperation, and the company can send people over.

At the end of the telegram, Jiang Baimian described the condition of Erhe Shimoda, and asked the company to find a doctor and follow him with the corresponding medicine or equipment.

There is no objection to this telegram.

When converting it into a telegram, Jiang Baimian secretly added two sentences, namely the location of the entrance to Shuiwei Town and the pre-agreed password.

After filming, they quickly received a call back.

The content of the call back is very simple, only two words:

"receive."

Tian Erhe, who watched the whole process, turned to instruct the townspeople in the room:

"You all go back to rest, you are flying here to accompany me."

After everyone else left, Bai Chen said to Tian Erhe:

"Mayor, do you want to eat something and sleep for a while

"People from the company may have to arrive tomorrow afternoon or evening."

Tian Erhe shook his head and said with a smile:

"I don't need it for the time being, the needle you gave me is really good, and I'm not sleepy at all.

"Girl, we have known each other for many years, how about calling me grandpa?"

Before Bai Chen could respond, he deliberately pretended to be pitiful and coughed a few times:

"Look, none of my descendants are left..."

Bai Chen pursed his lips and shouted in a small voice:

"grandfather."

"Haha." Tian Erhe laughed, and then said to Bai Chen and the others, "Tell me and Zhengfei about the 'Pangu creatures'."
