Survival Game: Call Me an Honest Businessman

While Li Zhi was figuring out how to conduct friendly exchanges with the rat tribe, she caused huge disagreements among the high-ranking officials in various districts.

"..."

"I think the plan is still feasible. It's only 3% of a certain mineral. If the news is true, we will have obtained a 97% share, which will immediately alleviate the current economic problems. If it's not true, the investment cost will not be large."

"I agree. We can negotiate 3%, and we can negotiate the entire Dongqi District. What about 1% or certain areas? Cooperation is achieved through negotiation."

"I object. Regardless of whether the news is true or not, people are needed to carry it out. We don't have many people available right now, and everyone has to be used to their fullest potential. The focus should be on exploring the world and the Trial Grounds."

"I object. This person is too mercenary and not progressive enough in his thinking. He is not suitable for long-term cooperation."

"I agree. If there are fewer people, then we'll assign fewer people to fish for cloud minerals. We already had plans for this, so we haven't disrupted the original plan."

"Objection! This is a matter for your District 15; you should resolve it internally!"

"be opposed to……"

The conference lasted for more than an hour, and the leader of District 15 could hardly get a word in edgewise, only able to frequently look at his superior.

He is also currently the highest-ranking finance minister in Dongqi.

The finance minister did not speak, but listened calmly to the opinions of all parties, occasionally taking notes, and his expression showed no bias.

After the argument subsided, he slowly spoke up: "I need to confirm first whether our previously agreed division of labor still counts."

After the merger, the first thing the leaders of each district did was to redistribute different departments and positions according to Lanxing's position and the current situation.

Contrary to Li Zhi's guess, in most of the 9999 regions, no official has stepped forward, and the region has been in a state of anarchy without a leader.

The actual number of high-ranking officials is only in the double digits.

Of these two figures, the highest-ranking administrative official is the former Minister of Finance of Blue Star.

Therefore, this former Minister of Finance of Blue Star directly succeeded as the current Minister of Finance of Eastern Qi.

The moment she opened her mouth, the entire room fell silent.

"To be counted".

"Then I'll make a decision: Zhao Wu and his team will act as negotiators to reach a cooperation agreement with Samsung as soon as possible. But the bottom line is 1% for the entire Dongqi region, or 3% for half of the regions. You can negotiate it yourselves."

The head of District 15 stood up and saluted: "Mission accomplished!"

Li Anquan and the others were already waiting outside the door.

Upon seeing their leader emerge, they all inquired, "Sir, how did it go?"

Zhao Wu said calmly, "The matter is resolved. Let Bai Ge lead the negotiations. Our bottom line is 1% of the entire Dongqi region, or 3% of half of the regions."

"yes!"

Bai Ge and the others held another emergency meeting to rehearse various possible problems and discuss their lines of conversation before practicing with Li Zhi using the "You're Very Safe" panel.

You are safe: [Samsung Five-Fee Comrade, sorry to keep you waiting. We have obtained the right to negotiate. Are you available now?]

Li Zhizheng was preparing to eat.

Pour the tomato and beef brisket sauce over the rice, mix well, then top with the beef brisket, and put it all in your mouth. The satisfaction of eating big bites of meat and big bites of rice came at the same time, and she couldn't help but eat two more bites before replying to the message.

Give me back my 3-star, 5-star rating!!! : [You can tell me when you have time.]

You are safe: [On behalf of the organization, we express our sincerest intention to cooperate with you; however, we may need to discuss some details.]

Give me back my 3-star, 5-cost account!!! : [Safe zone or cloud mining?]

Bai Ge paused, his fingers pausing.

Li Anquan: "Fortunately, we didn't forget that the safe zone hadn't been agreed upon either, and we discussed the details in advance."

Jiang You: "This 3-star, 5-cost player always talks nonsense. Before, when we talked about the safe zone, she brought up cloud mining. Now that we're talking about cloud mining, she's brought up the safe zone again."

Ban Ling: "A very skillful use of deception and packaging tactics; she wants to use cognitive interference to disrupt our judgment. Samsung Wufei must be a master negotiator in real life."

Bai Ge typed the text rapidly.

You are safe: [What are your thoughts on the safe zone?]

Give me back my 3-star, 5-fee rating!!! : [As I said before, my safe zone is for mining cloud ore. I can agree to take in 200 people, and I'll pay them wages while settling them in. I only have one requirement: all 200 must be female. The airship is only so big, and same-sex individuals will save space. I'll give you 100 slots, and I'll choose the remaining 100 myself.]

This was a plan that Li Zhi had already come up with.

Fishing for cloud mines is not physically demanding.

The safe zone is only 300 square meters. The cabin will definitely be arranged with upper and lower bunks, or even upper, middle and lower bunks. Whether from the perspective of management, saving space, or personal interests, she only plans to hire female miners.

Li Anquan: "The commander said we can decide this ourselves."

Jiang You: "Samsung's five-cost strategy was definitely planned long ago. They brought this up first, confident that we wouldn't let this small matter ruin the upcoming cooperation."

Bai Ge: "We really don't."

Banling: "Her idea did not contradict our rescue goal, and of the 100 spots, she only required women and did not emphasize age or physical condition, so we can agree."

Passed unanimously.

Li Zhi anticipated that the authorities would grant her request, and moved on to the second matter without much surprise:

[1% of the total price offered by Dongqi. This is my bottom line, and it should be yours as well. If you agree, we'll sign; if not, we'll leave it at that. This way, we won't waste each other's time.]

Bai Ge and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.

They had made many contingency plans and anticipated that Li Zhi would mention the safe zone, but they believed that no matter what tactics she used, her goal was the same: the share of mineral resources and the area.

This is something that needs to be worked out slowly, and they are prepared for a back-and-forth exchange.

Unexpectedly, Li Zhi did not play by the rules at all. As soon as the safe zone was settled, he immediately quoted his bottom price.

Although it did indeed match their bottom line.

but……

Jiang You: "This is only the first offer, I think we can still negotiate."

Ban Ling: "Don't just think about it. She's already guessed your bottom line. If you keep negotiating, she'll just flip the table. Let's see where you'll cry then."

Jiang You: "Negotiation is a two-way street. Why can't we negotiate? Reaching the bottom line from above is our duty, but securing more benefits for the organization is a merit!"

You are safe: [Okay, let's sign the contract directly.]

After sending the message, Jiang You finally saw it. He froze, his face instantly turning red: "Bai Ge! Didn't you hear what I said? We can still talk!"

Bai Ge: "I led this negotiation and have the authority to make the decision. If you have any complaints, you can report them to the leader."

Jiang You pointed at Bai Ge, "You're harming the organization's interests and the collective's interests!"

Ban Ling frowned: "You can express your different opinions, but please don't start by labeling people harshly, okay?"

Jiang You: "Am I labeling you?"

He glanced at the others. "Don't you guys want to produce some tangible results?"

No one spoke.

Jiang You sneered, "Fine, then I'll wait and see what benefit you'll get from letting her get away with this."

Bai Ge: "We can discuss this later. Now that the contract has arrived, let's go over the terms together."

Both contracts were signed smoothly.

Li Zhi sent a message to the student who had passed the exam:

[We can start recruiting ahead of schedule. As the logistics manager, you can temporarily act as HR and post a job advertisement. We need 100 people, meals and accommodation provided, female applicants preferred.]
