Every time I come home, my wife is making garbage

Chapter 301 Negotiation with Humans

Atayi was a little surprised to find that it was a huge fishing boat.

What's the purpose of making the fishing boat so big and made of iron?

Moreover, this ship actually uses machinery to collect the nets, not manual labor.

Officer: "What are they doing? Why are they using a mechanical net?"

Atayi, on the other hand, was well-informed and guessed the answer after only one glance: "Because the net is so big, so big, it is impossible for the elves' delicate hands to catch it, so they use a mechanical winch."

Officer: "Elves look delicate, but they are actually very powerful. They also know all kinds of magic, so it's no problem for them to strengthen themselves."

Atayi: "I'm afraid... even if we strengthen our power, it won't work. Once the fishing net is out of the water, it might scare us."

The winch on the fishing boat was still turning vigorously, pulling in the net rope...

Then, the robotic arm stood up and pulled a huge fishing net out of the water.

As soon as the fishing net emerged from the water a little bit, everyone on the Desert Kingdom merchant ship was frightened.

What a big net!

A large number of fish are jumping in the huge net...

Then the net was pulled higher and higher, leaving the water surface, allowing people to get a clearer glimpse of its entire appearance. When the entire net was completely hoisted in the air, Atayi and his men were all stunned.

In the huge net in front of them, countless fish were bouncing.

"This... this... this net must weigh tens of thousands of kilograms! My God, tens of thousands of kilograms."

Atayi almost jumped up. "What kind of fishing technique is this? Oh my God! I've always heard that the elves have the best knowledge and the most powerful technology in the world, but I didn't quite believe it. Now I see it with my own eyes. Oh my God! How can you starve when fishing like this?"

Everyone on the Desert Kingdom ship was stunned and doubting their lives.

In fact, they were not the only ones who were dumbfounded. The 12 elf ladies around Zhang Jingyi were also a little dumbfounded. They did not expect that this trawler was so powerful that it could catch tens of thousands of kilograms of fish in one net.

Oh, Heaven and Earth, how many people would it take to finish this net of fish?
In the distance, the lizardmen working for Zhang Jingyi were also dumbfounded: "It turns out that Mr. Zhang's boat is so good at fishing that he doesn't need us at all. Then why does he want us to work for him and pay us? It's obvious that he wants to give us benefits."

As a large group of people who were already dumbfounded watched, a huge mechanical arm moved the fishing net to the ship, opened the net, and dozens of tons of fish were dumped onto the deck. Then, they were diverted into various fish tanks... and quickly cooled down and frozen for storage.

Zhang Jingyi found a big fish in the corner of the deck, held it in his hands, and asked the elves, "What kind of fish is this?"

The elf girl smiled and said, "This is a spiny pomfret."

"Spiny pomfret?" Zhang Jingyi: "I seem to have vaguely heard of this fish's name."

He began to think hard and hard, and finally he remembered that he had seen it in the supermarket. The retail price of smaller spiny pomfret seemed to be more than 200 yuan per kilogram, while the huge spiny pomfret could be sold for about yuan per kilogram.

What he caught on this boat were all giant spiny pomfret, the retail price should be around 200 yuan per kilogram, and the wholesale price is about 3% to 5% off.

Assuming the wholesale price is 80 yuan per kilogram, 20 tons would be... 160 million.

Zhang Jingyi calculated the bill and felt it was okay. He was counting on his fingers when he saw a large merchant ship from the Desert Kingdom approaching. A man on the ship, with a jeweled head and a merchant's coat on his body, saluted from a distance to his ship: "Noble elves, I am an envoy from the Desert Kingdom, my name is Atayi, and I am here to discuss a business deal with you..."

The elf ladies were still immersed in the joy of catching a lot of fish and didn't even respond to his greeting.

Zhang Jingyi smiled and waved at Atayi: "Hi, hello! My name is Mr. Zhang."

Atayi: "Huh? You're not an elf, you're a human."

Zhang Jingyi touched his ears with his hands: "Yes, there are no pointed ears."

Atayi couldn't help but think in his heart: The defeated army came back to report that the enemy formed a multi-racial coalition. This doesn't seem like the style of the elves, so it must be the style of humans. The human race has the talent of [diplomacy] and is born with the potential to be a leader. And the man in front of him, judging from his position, looks like he is giving orders on the ship, and the elves on the ship all listen to him.

Atayi quickly got straight to the point: "Mr. Zhang, can you make the decision here?"

"Sure." Zhang Jingyi smiled: "The chiefs of the various subhuman tribes have entrusted me with the responsibility of doing odd jobs, so you can come to me for any chores here."

Atayi was overjoyed. In fact, he was a little afraid of dealing with the elves and doing business with them, because the elves were famous for their elegance and nobility. It was difficult to grasp the other party's pain points when doing business with such a race.

Just like Elizabeth and Antonio, they couldn't find a way to impress the elf. They even took out a modern compound bow, but were still turned away. Let alone talk business, the elf didn't even want to talk to him.

Atayi was really afraid that he wouldn't be able to find something that could impress the elves.

But he is very good at negotiating and doing business with humans. Humans are a race full of flaws, and every human has his or her own weaknesses.

As long as you can grasp the other party's weakness, business will be very easy to negotiate.

Atayi instantly put on a businessman's smile.

Coincidentally, Zhang Jingyi also quickly put on a businessman's smiling face.

"Hey hey hey!"

They both laughed...

"Let's go, let's sit down and talk at the edge of the village. It feels weird to talk about things on the sea." Zhang Jingyi made him a special invitation.

Atayi also wanted to see the current condition of the prisoners, so of course he had to go.

The two ships, one in front and one behind, sailed towards the elf village.

Atayi immediately discovered that Zhang Jingyi's big iron ship, without sails or oars, could actually sail on the sea, but there were constant white splashes of water near the tail, as if there was a huge tail behind the ship paddling.

It also ran faster than its own sailing wooden boat.

Atayi turned his head and took a look, and saw that the sailors were desperately maneuvering the square sail, fore and aft sails, and constantly using the sails to catch the wind, so that their wooden boats could barely follow behind Zhang Jingyi's boat. He couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

The officer came over and whispered in his ear, "Look, our ships are no match for the enemy's ships. Not only are they smaller, but they are also less maneuverable and less fast than the enemy's. We will be at a complete disadvantage in a naval battle."

Atayi: "I will report the truth to the king! If it is not a war crime, the king will not punish you."
