From the gate of heaven

Chapter 117 [Methods of Negotiation, share with you the story I just made up]

According to Lin Ze's original intention, what he needs to do now is to develop in a low-key manner.

But the reality is that Lin Ze has already been noticed by the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

And this is something that cannot be avoided. If Lin Ze wants to move safely in another world, he cannot avoid the use of thermal weapons. It will be a matter of time before he is noticed.

It is impossible for him to give up food due to choking or give up his martial arts in order to hide.

Yesterday, Lin Ze's idea was to use the firearms technology trade to make good friends with the Zhou royal family and pave the way for the development of his own power.

But after actually understanding the manufacturing process of firearms, Lin Ze knew that the production of firearms was not that simple, but represented a complete industrial system.

The current situation facing Lin Ze was that the Zhou royal family needed firearms technology, but they could not afford a price that would satisfy Lin Ze.

Lin Ze had three choices at this time.

The first option is to explain to them the difficulty of making firearms, and then tell them that he can only sell guns and cannot teach them how to make guns. The second option is to half-sell and half-give away to bring the two parties closer and help the Zhou royal family establish an industrial system.

The third is to reject this transaction and wait for the next opportunity to make good friends with the Zhou royal family.

The second option was directly eliminated by Lin Ze. A complete industrial system was extremely precious. It not only represented more advanced productivity, but also represented the authority to develop resources in the entire world. Choosing this option meant a lot for Lin Ze. The cost is too high and the expected future gains are too small.

Lin Ze is not so generous yet, to help the royal family of Da Zhou free of charge.

The third option was also ruled out by Lin Ze.

After rejecting this transaction, the other party's methods in order to obtain firearms manufacturing technology will not be as gentle as they are now. By then, Lin Ze's industry in the other world will face a fatal blow from the local royal family, the largest force at any time.

In the end, the only thing Lin Ze could choose was the first path, explaining to Ji Kan, a representative of the Zhou royal family, the difficulty of making firearms.

There is also a skill in persuasion. If you just say it with empty teeth, the other party will most likely not believe it.

It was impossible for Lin Ze to tell Ji Kan that he had the Tianmen and came from other worlds.

From the perspective of the Zhou royal family, they did not know that Lin Ze had the support of a world's industrial system.

So you will feel it.

You alone can produce such sophisticated and useful firearms. We have already planned to accept you into our ruling class and everyone will make a fortune together. If you don’t dedicate your technology to our royal family, do you have resentment?

Therefore, Lin Ze decided to deliberately not speak politely during the negotiation process to trigger a conflict between the two parties, taking the opportunity to show his tough attitude.

Anyway, Lin Ze still had a way out. If the negotiations failed, he could run away at any time. The Zhou Dynasty court lacked the key means to control Lin Ze.

In this case, it is better to be tougher and establish a relatively equal cooperative relationship, so as not to be regarded as a soft persimmon cash machine by the Zhou royal family later.

In terms of personal combat power, Lin Ze is indeed very weak.

Even with the blessing of thermal weapons, Lin Ze is still no match for any peerless master.

But he has the All Heavens Gate and all the heavens and worlds that he can use as his retreat.

If the bottom line is abandoned, Lin Zeda can take the people he cares about from the other world on the side of the Zhou Dynasty, and then sit in the main world and operate drones, use Zhutianmen to link various human settlements in the Zhou Dynasty, and release chemical poisons , biochemical viruses, and space-based weapons.

He can attack the Great Zhou Dynasty, but the Great Zhou Dynasty has nothing to do with Lin Ze.

Given Lin Ze time, he could even kill everyone in a world.

It's just that Lin Ze doesn't want to do that.

First of all, he is a person, not a beast with no bottom line.

Therefore, Lin Ze chose to gain reasonable benefits for himself as much as possible without harming other people.

But this does not mean that Lin Ze has no way to counterattack when he is cornered.
-
Listening to Lin Ze's plain words, but with great confidence.

Although Ji Kan didn't know what trump cards Lin Ze had that allowed him to dare to ignore peerless masters and even masters of heaven, Lin Ze's attitude made Ji Kan understand the importance of a full set of firearms manufacturing technology, which may not be what he thought before. So simple.

This is a secret of higher value that Lin Ze would rather risk the annihilation of his entire business and his own displacement to protect.

Compared with this level of secrets, the sword technique, the prescription, and the big cake they just gave out to make him a prince in the future really seemed like they were taking advantage and humiliating Lin Ze.

In this case, Lin Ze did not kill them directly, and was even willing to talk at this moment, which was already a sign of extreme restraint. On the contrary, they had to be more aggressive.

After thinking about this, Ji Kan, who had been cold-faced just now, became much softer.

He took a step back and apologized: "Don't blame me, Ziyi. I am reckless and do not know the true value behind the production of firearms. Please believe that I come here with sincerity and want to form a firearms army to sweep away the alien races." .”

"Since we can't sell a complete set of firearms making skills, please give Ziyi a way to meet our needs for forming a firearms army. Please make it clear what materials are needed and what the restrictions are."

The strong combat power that Lin Ze showed not long ago made Ji Kan dare not underestimate Lin Ze anymore, but regarded him as a being who could talk to him as an equal.

Yes, he is protected by a peerless master and is not afraid of Lin Ze threatening his life.

You can even try to kill Lin Zege directly on the spot, but how to deal with the unknown existences hidden behind Lin Ze?

The imperial power known to the world is supreme and the god who rules the world.

But if the people in charge of the imperial power really think so, they are not far from destruction.

A thousand-mile embankment is destroyed in an ant nest. In many cases, it can be resolved peacefully but it is not appropriate to offend more enemies. The royal family is only the number one force in the world, not a truly invincible force that can suppress everything.

On the side, Ji Qingyan did not speak, but quietly watched the two negotiating.

But the look of approval on her face clearly indicated that she agreed with Ji Kan's handling method at this moment.

"Although I can't sell you a complete set of firearms production technology, I can still help you form an army of firearms to sweep away the alien races."

Lin Ze spoke first, setting such a tone and completely easing the tense atmosphere just now.

Then he said: "I also ask your two highnesses to sail this ship into the center of the river, and then clear out all the people around. What is said next is the secret of our sect and should not be known to too many people."

Ji Kan nodded.

With an order, the many armored soldiers originally guarding the ship, as well as the eunuchs and maids serving the two nobles, all disembarked.Only some boatmen were left to drive the boat to the center of the river, and then left in a small boat.

Soon, only Ji Kan, Ji Qingyan and Lin Ze were left on the boat, plus an unknown old eunuch.

"There is no one left."

This peerless master closed his eyes and took a closer look at his surroundings before speaking.

Then, he stopped avoiding and just stood aside to listen.

Lin Ze didn't care about his existence. With his perception, even if he disappeared from sight, it wouldn't prevent him from hearing his speech, so he simply didn't need to care.

At this time, Lin Ze opened his mouth and shared the story he had just made up with the people present: "Everyone knows that I come from a hidden sect."

This opening statement caused several people to nod.

Later, Lin Ze continued: "The name of our sect is [Truth]. Since the founder of the sect, we have been implementing the concept of exhausting all truths in the world and passing it on. It has been developed for thousands of years, and it has also accumulated in our sect." He has gained a lot of knowledge that is far beyond ordinary people.”

"These knowledges cover astronomy, geography, mathematics, and other principles that govern the movement of all things in the world. Many people who are not talented enough will not be able to learn any of them in their entire lives. Even those who are extremely intelligent will need 40 to [-] years to catch up. The knowledge learned by the predecessors is then used to innovate based on the predecessors.”

"But the geniuses in this world are often unreasonable."

"About 100 years ago, a senior with the greatest talent in the past and present came out of my door of truth. In just 20 years, he not only learned the knowledge of a subject to the peak, but also taught me the truth. All the collections of books left by the predecessors of the sect are fully integrated."

"Then he spent ten years on this basis to develop the [Tiangong Treasure Box], which embodies the sect's comprehensive knowledge. The firearm in my hand is one of the products of the Tiangong Treasure Box."

Speaking of which, in order to increase the persuasiveness.

Lin Ze took out his silver revolver and shot the old eunuch beside him in the arm.

The bullet fired at more than twice the speed of sound arrived at the old eunuch's arm almost the moment it came out of the boring machine.

Then, before the bullet hit the old eunuch's right arm, a left hand stretched out to clamp the bullet.

boom!
At this time, gunfire spread in the surrounding space.

Anger appeared on the old eunuch's face, and just as he was about to fight back, he saw that Lin Ze had put away the pistol, and a metal cylinder appeared in his hand.

Facing this metal cylinder, although the old eunuch didn't know what it was, he felt a little danger from Lin Ze's expression. He didn't need to guess to know that this was a more powerful firearm than a firearm.

With his own skill, even if he was not injured, he would still be in a state of embarrassment, so he stopped his body that was about to attack. After all, Lin Ze did not attack his vitals just now, and the other party was his master's guest.

"The power of this firearm is pretty good, no less powerful than a strike from a warrior at the artistic conception level, and it is as powerful as thunder and extremely difficult to resist."

The so-called artistic conception level warrior is a symbol of Yun Shen realm, and it is also the actual manifestation of super first-class combat power.

The old eunuch spoke in a slow tone and slowly dropped the deformed warhead in his fingers to the ground.

However, from the slightly burnt skin of his fingers, it can be seen that he did not take it lightly this time, and his defense was already broken.

But that's about it.

It is roughly equivalent to a big BOSS with dozens of health bars, with a level of -1 popping up on his head.

In the short time he spoke, the charred skin had faded away, revealing the old eunuch's fair and rosy new skin.

"My father-in-law is very skilled, but I don't know your father-in-law's surname?"

Lin Ze praised, lest this peerless master would be angry.

"Miangui, my surname is Hua, just call me Mr. Hua."

The old eunuch spoke.

"I offended you just now, and I hope Mr. Hua can forgive me. I just wanted to test the power of firearms and had to make this decision."

Lin Ze nodded and apologized for his deliberate display of force.

Then he continued: "After the senior who developed the Tiangong Treasure Box completed his proud work, he prepared to record his results as usual and leave them to future generations for further study. But at this time, this The senior died of heart failure."

"In the past time, he worked too hard to master this knowledge, so much so that he exhausted his energy. He didn't even have time to leave the production drawings of the Tiangong Treasure Box and the principles contained in them. died."

"So in recent years, many seniors in our sect have no choice but to devote their energy to studying the Tiangong Treasure Box, trying to decipher the many knowledge contained in it, but so far they have not been able to achieve their goals."

"Currently, our sect is able to produce such excellent firearms as I am using now, thanks to the power of the Heavenly Treasure Chest. I cannot agree to the full set of firearm manufacturing technology that His Highness said. Because of this, this will cause our sect to be unable to obtain The knowledge contained in the Tiangong treasure chest."

"If we wait another 20 to [-] years, after we crack the Tiangong Treasure Box, it will be easy for His Highness to acquire a complete set of firearms manufacturing techniques."

After a pause, Lin Ze continued: "Because I'm still young, lacking in knowledge, yearning for the bustling world of mortals, and unable to settle down to learn to help crack the Treasure Box of Heaven's Art, I was sent out by the sect to accumulate money for cracking the heavenly treasure chest." It is used as a treasure chest."

In a short speech, Lin Ze explained the reasons why he could not present the firearms production technology and his own origin.

At the same time, he did not reveal the fact that he came from another world.

Under normal circumstances, others would probably only listen to Lin Ze's words as a story, especially the peerless master present. The two Tianhuang nobles even regarded Lin Ze's words as farts and did not believe even a single punctuation mark.

But after the previous performances and foreshadowing, everyone saw firearms technology that was far beyond this era. Even if they still didn't believe it, they could only believe this explanation now.

Otherwise, how do you explain this firearm that appears out of nowhere and can allow a second-rate and a super first-rate to face the enemy head-on?

At the same time, Lin Ze's words have another effect. It's not that I hold on to the firearms production technology, but that this thing really can't be sold casually for the time being.

If you are willing to wait, this thing will be sold to you in a short time, so there is no need for you to do anything to make the situation extremely uncontrollable.

Like a goddess fishing for a spare tire.

Although the method is a bit clumsy, it is very effective and fundamentally solves the potential crisis that may exist.

And by the time the agreed time comes, Lin Ze will have grown to an unknown extent.
