49. The goodwill of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance
Looking at Sean with a calm smile on his face, Lodeske's cold sweat couldn't help but break out.
"Lord Sean, this ...... It was an accident indeed. Suddenly Lodeske found that the negotiating methods he was good at could not be used against the young man in front of him, because he never played his cards according to reason and was particularly fond of messing around.
The so-called means of commercial negotiation are, in the final analysis, pure deception.
Of course, this kind of flickering will naturally involve many different tricks depending on the individual's understanding of things. But in general, it is to find out the topics or content that the target is interested in through conversation, and then really cut into these topics to brush up on the favorability and impression score, so as to reduce the vigilance of the target, so that the success rate of flickering can naturally be increased a lot.
But as Sean, who is also very good in this regard, how could he be fooled by such a pure businessman as Lodeske with a small profit?
The player is the most terrifying businessman in the world.
"I don't care if it's unexpected, but I'm really upset." With a flick of Sean's middle finger, the golden bill on the table was bounced back in front of Lodeske by Sean, "Do I look like someone who lacks this million?" β
"No, how is that possible." Lodeske swallowed, then smiled, "It's just a way for us to apologize." β¦β¦ Speaking of which, if it weren't for you, Lord Sean, last night, maybe the credibility of our Chamber of Commerce Alliance would have been completely ruined. β
"Yes." Sean smiled, then stood up. "Well, if it's just for this, then I think my attitude should be quite clear. I don't have a crush on your Chamber of Commerce. So all of our previous transactions are voided, so be it. β
"No, no, Lord Sean, we're really, very sincere." Lodeske gritted his teeth, then hurriedly stood up, knowing that he was already a fish on the chopping block at this moment, and any struggle and resistance was pointless. "This million compensation is just a demonstration of our sincerity, and in fact other related compensation is currently going through the process...... Lord Shaun, you should know the truth, even I really don't have the authority to overstep some things. Therefore, some procedures still have to be taken, but I can guarantee that you will be satisfied with the results. β
"Yes." Sean glanced at Lodeske before nodding slightly and sitting back down. "Oh well. I'm going to hear how you're going to make amends. β
"Lord Sean, you specified that you wanted those gems, and there are currently two in stock in the trading capital, which are being shipped, in addition to 50,000 slaves and 1,000 craftsmen who will be coming with you." Lodeske was visibly relieved to see Sean sit back down, and then continued, "These are some of the things we've made to you, and we hope they'll make you happy. β
"I still think you're very insincere." Sean shook his head. But this time, when Lodesque pushed the bill that could be exchanged for one million Pan-Continent gold coins to Sean again, he accepted it unceremoniously. "Doesn't that seem like the content of the negotiations I talked to you about yesterday morning? And, it seems like you're all cutting corners? β¦β¦ In this way, do you really feel sincere? β
"Lord Sean, that's actually the case." Lodeske's face also showed a look of embarrassment, "The recent turmoil in the Savage Land has been very serious, and almost all the slave catchers operating in the Wild Land have been hit extremely hard, so it is really difficult for the slave side to satisfy you. β¦β¦ But as a sign of sincerity, we have equipped these 50,000 slaves with a complete set of standard equipment, which will save you a lot of trouble. β
"What kind of equipment?" Sean raised an eyebrow.
"The standard equipment of the patrol soldiers of the Trade Capital." When Lodesk replied, there was a little more pride in his tone, "A total of 80,000 sets." In addition to the 50,000 sets that can be worn immediately, the other 30,000 sets are used as replacements. β
Hearing Lodeske's answer, Sean's eyes couldn't help but fluctuate a little.
He had to be moved by the seriousness of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance: a big deal.
The Trade Capital is the base camp of all the chambers of commerce on the entire continent, and the individual strength of its patrol soldiers does not matter, but the standard equipment they wear is standard and sophisticated-level equipment, and this equipment is generally used in the equipment of the fourth-level troops. Therefore, these 80,000 sets of fine-level equipment, it is impossible to win without millions, even if it is surplus second-hand equipment from the trade capital, the level of the elite level is still placed, and it is still worth two or three million.
Of course, that also depends on the standard level of the build.
"Standard build?"
"Standard loadout!" Lodesk nodded, "The light infantry is dressed in three pieces, standard light armor and armor. β
The so-called three-piece set of light infantry refers to the three weapons of round shield, handguard sword and spear, while standard light armor refers to one half-body light armor, one pair of iron handguards, one light armor boot, one helmet and one leg guard. There are as many as 80,000 sets of such a set of eight pieces of equipment, and the minimum cost of three million cannot be run. If you count the other two elemental crystals and the one million that honors Sean, then it means that the Chamber of Commerce Alliance has already taken out more than seven million gold coins worth of items.
Sean hadn't done anything yet, but he had already earned seven million, and the Chamber of Commerce Alliance had indeed fully expressed their sincerity as they said.
"50,000 slaves, what kind of slaves?"
"Thirty thousand Northland barbarians, probably twenty thousand barbarians, and ......," Lodeske's voice was almost so small that only he and Sean could hear each other's words clearly, "Fifteen demonborns." β
Sean's pupils shrank suddenly.
Although Lodeske's voice was very slight, there was still an unconcealable arrogance in his tone, and he was obviously very proud of Sean's attitude.
If the sincerity of the previous seven million has made Sean feel the wealth of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, then the fifty thousand slaves that Lodesk said at this moment. It made Sean feel as if he had opened the door to the New World Realm, and then he was as shocked as seeing gold everywhere.
Of the 50,000 slaves, 30,000 Northland barbarians were not worth much at all. It's just to make up the numbers; Only the fifteen thousand barbarians are worth a little money, but that also depends on where these barbarians are captured, if it is the Western Continent, it is undoubtedly the highest value, followed by the barbarians in the Wild Land, and the last is the Barbarians on the North Continent.
However, even if it is the Western Continent, there are regional divisions. For example, the Golden Valley Barbarians are the most valuable.
But even if it was a Golden Valley barbarian, it couldn't be compared to the demon descendant at all.
The so-called Demon Descendants refer to a powerful human race living in the Underworld Realmβthe ancestors of this race. They were once the sons of the gods on the continent who were obsessed with the study of magic, and their magical abilities were extremely amazing, but it was precisely because of the destruction of these people who were once qualified to participate in the Ragnarok War that the arrival of the Age of Ashes was finally accelerated. Therefore, when the gods fell one after another, they fell asleep. They became the first victims and eliminators of the Age of Ashes and had to hide underground.
Over time, such an evil existence called the Demon Descendant by the humans of the surface world was born - of course, the human race will not recognize the identity of the same race as themselves, and directly classify them into the classification of the Demon Descendant, which is also the origin of the name Demon Descendant.
But in any case, the Demon Descendants are indeed human beings by nature. However, by now, the people of the Demon Descendants have almost completely degraded their ability to sense the elements of magic. This has to be said to be a great irony and joke; However, due to the cruel and harsh living environment in the underworld, any demon descendant has a very terrifying fighting instinct and fighting ability.
If you want to use Warcraft's parlance to make proportions. Then every adult demon descendant has a strength that is almost equal to that of the upper silver.
Therefore, in the slave market, the Demon Descendants generally do not sell them, but must be purchased through auctions. According to the information that Sean has learned, at present, in the world realm, the lowest transaction price record of the demon descendant is 300,000 pan-continental gold coins.
The Chamber of Commerce Alliance gave Sean fifteen demon descendants in one go, not to mention how many gold coins these demon descendants are worth, just their strength is fifteen high-ranking silver masters. And the growth limit of the demon descendants has never stopped at gold, that is to say, if Sean is willing to spend hard work to cultivate, plus if these demon descendants have enough luck and will not die too early, this is almost fifteen Sanctuary-level powerhouses.
However, the chances of survival of the Demon Descendant in the Surface World Realm have never been higher than seven percent.
"I do feel your sincerity." At this moment, even Sean couldn't find anything wrong at all.
Hearing Sean's words, Lodeske could finally breathe a real sigh of relief. But soon, his heart rose to his throat again, because Sean said the most classic twist in the negotiation sentence-
"But ......," Sean said in a deep voice, "I have one last request. β
"Speak, please." Lodeske swallowed, praying inwardly that Sean's request would not go too far, otherwise he would really give the headquarters the impression that he was not doing a good job. Originally, when Sean opened his mouth yesterday morning, he already felt a very headache, but fortunately, Jairo offended Sean by mistake last night, so he was able to take this opportunity to clear all the responsibilities.
Looking at the actions of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance this time, Lodesk knew that the Dao Headquarters was serious about this action, and it could almost be said that it was imperative, otherwise he would not even send out the fifteen remaining demon descendants in one go, because he knew very well how these fifteen demon descendants came about.
"About the Mystery Auction Item in Your Auction......"
Lodeske's heart chuckled.
ββ¦β¦ I'd love to know what the Tao is all about. β
Hearing this, Lodeske's nervousness finally relaxed a little, he was afraid that Sean would be eyeing these things. Although he didn't know exactly what was going on, as the envoy of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance on Lane's side, he knew very well that the headquarters was playing a big game of chess now, and he was only responsible for cooperating. If Sean has his eye on other things at the auction, he can still call the shots, and if he sees these mysterious auction items, then he will really hurt his eggs.
At the moment, fortunately not, just to satisfy the curiosity in advance.
If that's all there is to it, Lodeske feels that he can still make up his mind and uncover the mystery in advance. After all, some nobles would feel that it would be a special shame if they could know about such mysterious auction items in advance.
"If it's something I want......"
Lodeske's heart, which he had managed to let go, suddenly rose to his throat again.
ββ¦β¦ I'd like to be able to buy it early. Sean said with a smile on his face, "Of course, I promise you will be satisfied with the price." β
This time, Lodesk really wanted to cry without tears.
If there really is something that Sean takes a fancy to, does he dare to take the money? (To be continued......)
