Something is wrong!
I did use some means to achieve important negotiation results and made Kalan Trade make concessions to me, but were these concessions a bit too much?
Chapter 2023 Tragic Victory06-30-12 00:02:
The current situation made Miss White Wolf realize one of her weaknesses.
Although she can always make the calmest decisions under pressure and crisis, this is not the case in victory and joy. These things will blind her eyes and make her ignore the crisis hidden behind.
Enthiotis is a man who is good at setting up chain traps, and a failed trap is part of another clever trap.
Miss White Wolf looked cautious, but not discouraged at all. She understood her own shortcomings and strengths. Although she might be weak, she would always learn from stronger people. She had a good enough learning ability.
Every person and every opponent she met in her life taught her something different: her adoptive father, Tallulah, Platinum, Hellagur, the Business Federation, Kal'tsit, the Marquis...
Now, the name Enthiotis will be added to her list of mentors.
She looked at Enthiotis seriously and listened attentively. She wanted to see clearly the whole process of herself falling into the trap and how the other party was trying to close the net. She would also deliberately make the necessary struggles to see how the other party would respond.
These are the things that she cares about more than winning or losing.
Silver Gray said in a calm tone, "Full cooperation means that Ice Stone will have to deal with Kjerag's industrial system, so the product route will naturally move closer to the industrial field. This further means that Kjerag will make new demands on you. Specifically, in terms of products, it means multiple models of industrial-specific energy cores."
Miss White Wolf nodded.
Silver Gray continued to speak, his facial expression unchanged: "Khelag's industrial system is under the overall control of Kalan Trade, and industrial energy is also under the control of Kalan Trade. Therefore, Khelag requires that the production plan of Icestone's various types of products in Khelag's factory area be also controlled by Kalan Trade. Icestone's warehouse reserves and industrial product planning will be determined by Kalan Trade."
Having said that, SilverAsh paused for a moment, silently waiting for Olisia's reaction.
Beside her, Miss Hatsuyuki's face had turned pale. Those present could understand the meaning of what Yinhui said after a little thought. This request, which could not be described as excessive, was actually stated so directly.
While everyone was still immersed in astonishment, Miss White Wolf looked at Silver Gray calmly:
"Mr. Enchiodis, I understand your emphasis on national industry, and I have also said that I will respect Kjerag's internal situation, but why don't you consider another possibility? Must Kalan trade be controlled rather than negotiated?"
"Miss Olivia, I want to tell you a story."
"With great pleasure."
"Long ago, there was a country that had gone through a catastrophe and needed to be rebuilt. No matter nobles or ordinary people, they all eagerly hoped for the country's revival. In order to achieve the goal, the rulers boldly handed over various industries in the country to specialized talents for full control. As a result, the corresponding talents established corresponding companies, and the country achieved fantastic development."
"However, many years later, the company suddenly controlled and hollowed out the country, oppressing and ruling all those who had once been eager to serve the country, using them as tools for profit. People might wonder how this is possible, knowing that the power of the company is limited. Yes, the power of the company is limited, so they united and formed a business association."
"Ms. Olicia, the country that is in need of reconstruction is Casimir. Their disaster is the war with your motherland Ursus. You said that the Trade Union is our common enemy. For you, the Trade Union is just an encounter, but for Kjerag, he has caused this country to suffer for many years. We are much more vigilant against him than you are."
"Now, Miss Olicia, I want to tell you in the clearest possible way that in the field of national industry, Kjerag wants control, not negotiation."
Olicia looked at Silver Gray coldly: "You want to make Ice Stone a tool for Kalan's trade?"
"That's understandable."
The air at the meeting was almost frozen, dull and depressing, and everyone's heart was in their throat. Nosis and Platinum's bodies were tense, and Miss Hatsuyuki clenched her right hand tightly. She wanted to help Miss Olicia, but at this moment she couldn't speak no matter what.
Olicia's brief silence seemed to last a century in the eyes of everyone.
Finally, she raised her cold face, and the indifference in her eyes was enough to scare anyone: "Sir Ensiodis, you are well-versed in history and modern times, so you must understand the pride of an Ursus Empire noble."
Hatsuyuki looked at the two of them in despair. The sticky air made it hard for her to breathe. Sadly, her despair was meaningless in such matters.
Olicia paused, staring at her enemy for a long time, the cold flames suddenly fell silent, and she spoke as if it was a final verdict: "Ice Stone, I agree to your terms!"
After saying this, Olicia fell silent and did not take the opportunity to make any additional requests, as if she was simply agreeing to a condition.
SilverAsh sighed inwardly once again, and was secretly glad that Olicia had chosen to come to Kjerag and become his ally. He stood up and bowed slightly to her.
"Kalan Trade thanks you for your trust. You will see the sincerity of Kalan Trade's feedback in the subsequent agenda."
Did he win?
He won.
He, Enthiodis Shivaash, had never won so tragically with such thorough preparation.
Nosis quietly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. From now on, he would no longer regard Olicia as his own kind. In comparison, he could almost be called a simple-minded researcher. People like Olicia should be dealt with by Silverash.
However, at this moment, another wonderful thing happened. Miss Olicia also stood up and saluted the moment after Silver Gray bowed.
After the ceremony, Miss Olicia, in front of everyone, suddenly couldn't help laughing and covered her mouth with her hands, smiling sweetly, like an elegant and beautiful iris blooming after the cold winter.
"I'm sorry. I just lost my temper. It's my fault. My fault. I apologize to everyone."
She blinked, her bright eyes searching everyone's gazes, and when she found that everyone had good intentions, she was sure that the atmosphere had been eased.
Yes, Miss White Wolf's purpose was very simple, which was to ease the atmosphere. After all, after what happened just now, if no one came to adjust the atmosphere, it would be difficult to continue the subsequent negotiations.
President SilverAsh is a very capable person, but he doesn't seem to be good at adjusting the atmosphere. Miss Hatsuxue was made very nervous by her, so she had to come by herself.
The effect is quite good.
Little did they know that although the atmosphere had eased, some people's mentality had changed drastically.
Nosis glanced at Silvergray nervously, and only breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that the other party was still calm. After being stunned for a while, Miss Platinum immediately fell into a state of near panic.
If Miss White Wolf continues to play this trick a few more times, her list of enemies will be so long that it will be impossible to write them all down.
Chapter 2023 Sacrifice 07-01-12 00:02:
As the negotiations reached this point, both SilverAsh and White Wolf gradually realized the fact that their opponents possessed capabilities that were beyond their own expectations.
If they insist on fighting at the negotiation table, it will most likely result in a lose-lose situation. Not only that, it may also damage the harmony between the two sides and have an adverse impact on future joint efforts to resist the Chamber of Commerce.
Taking advantage of the lively atmosphere, the two of them changed their negotiation strategies at the same time. Miss Hatsuyuki, who represented the neutrality, became the medium of the negotiation and participated more in the consultation.
Although Chuxue had always wanted to help Bailang before, that was when her brother was plotting to bully others. In the subsequent negotiations, Yinhui put away his aggressive attitude, so she happily acted as a middleman.
Chu Xue was clear in her mind. She knew that it was not that her brother suddenly had a change of heart and wanted to negotiate peacefully, but that Miss Olisia's strength forced her brother to negotiate peacefully.
It seemed unbelievable to tell others about this. Some time ago, if someone had said that her brother would be forced to make concessions in a business negotiation, she would have scoffed and would not have believed it at all.
It was not until she met Miss Olicia that she realized there were such wonderful people in the world. To Miss Olicia, all this was normal.
As if her expectations had been met, she was happy for Miss Olicia from the bottom of her heart.
In this way, she handled the task of the middleman with a smile, communicating back and forth between her brother and Miss Olicia, and from time to time she recalled the unrealistic dream in her heart - how great it would be if she was not a saint.
However, dreams are just dreams after all and will never touch reality.
On that dark and cold night many years ago, when she climbed the holy mountain alone and vowed to sacrifice everything she had, she was only left with the right to dream, and what she longed for must be out of reach.
This is the price of sacrifice.
Passionate young boys and girls always make decisions on impulse, but only the long-lasting sorrow brought by time can give sacrifice a truly heavy meaning.
……
The negotiations gradually entered the second half, and the internal business of Kjerag and Icestone had been basically negotiated. Icestone Technology would be Kjerag's exclusive energy supplier in the future, and Kalan Trade would also be responsible for most of Icestone's commercial routes.
The focus of the latter stage of negotiations is on the business associations, because as long as external business is involved, confrontation with the business associations is inevitable.
Miss Hatsuyuki had limited knowledge about the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce, so she waited and saw most of the time, while Miss Platinum's frequency of speaking increased sharply.
Although Miss Platinum insisted that the people of the Chamber of Commerce had done a good job of keeping secrets and that she had not obtained any important information, she had been in close contact with the directors of the Chamber of Commerce for several months anyway, and often a casual word from her could benefit SilverAsh and White Wolf.
As the negotiations progressed, everyone present became more aware of the importance of Miss Platinum. Seeing that the time was ripe, Bai Lang took advantage of the opportunity and spoke out his long-planned plan:
"Mr. Silver Gray, you must remember one thing. Platinum has been in contact with Director Durul of the Business Federation these days."
Silver Gray expressed his approval: "Duruer is a very tough opponent. Miss Platinum, please go ahead and act. If necessary, Kalan Trade will try its best to provide all the help it can."
Miss Bailang was waiting for the other party to say this, and smiled slightly and said, "There is indeed a place where I need help. Director Duluer has assigned Bai Jin several tasks, one of which is to find out the information about Kalan Trade. Our previous strategy was to delay it..."
Before White Wolf finished speaking, Silver Gray understood what she meant: "That's not necessary now. Miss Platinum can satisfy Director Durul's request."
"Are you going to take this opportunity to provide false information?" Bai Jin asked.
Miss White Wolf shook her head slightly, and Silver Gray answered for her: "It's not fake news, Miss Platinum. You will get really useful information due to an accident, and an important transaction of Kalan Trade will be disrupted."
SilverAsh said the second half of the sentence while looking at White Wolf.
Miss White Wolf said meaningfully, "Director Durul was previously in charge of Rem Billiton's business. This is his first time dealing with Ice Stone and Kalan Trade. He takes this mission very seriously and even came to the vicinity of Kalan City in person. I think he now really needs to make achievements that will attract the attention of the entire board of directors to prove his ability and prove that he is suitable for dealing with Ice Stone and Kalan Trade."
Silver Gray easily understood the other party's hidden intention and said lightly: "The transaction that will be disrupted will be the one that Director Durul directly participated in. Not only will he disrupt the transaction, he can also take the opportunity to seize one of the southern trade routes of Kalan Trade."
"On behalf of Icestone, I would like to thank Kalan Trade for its contribution."
"This effort is worth it. Miss Platinum will definitely play a vital role in the fight against the Business Federation."
Miss White Wolf sighed inwardly. Although what SilverAsh said was not wrong, her real purpose was actually to protect Miss Platinum.
The logic of the Commercial Federation is to treat people as chess pieces that can be valued. The more important Platinum is in Durul's heart, the less likely it will be abandoned. When the value reaches a certain level, she has no doubt that the Commercial Federation will provide guards for Platinum.
In order to achieve this goal, she had to get the real cooperation of Kalan Trade, and it was not enough to rely solely on her own recommendation. So in the second half of the negotiations, she kept trying to get Platinum to speak and to increase the other party's value in SilverAsh's mind. Her goal was obviously achieved.
As for whether Miss Platinum can play her due role after gaining the deep trust of the Chamber of Commerce, she doesn't care at all. What she cares about is always Miss Platinum herself.
When Bai Jin was very young, he lived alone in Casimir, and was later forced to become an assassin. She didn't know how much hardship she had to endure. She wanted him to realize his dream, to be lazy every day, bask in the sun, fish, not be bullied, and live a comfortable life.
In this sense, she deceived Kalan Trade. The purpose of Kalan Trade was obviously to help her create a qualified spy, but she put her personal feelings above the spy mission.
However, Kalan Trade will not lose money. This is equivalent to her owing a favor to Kalan Trade, and she will naturally make compensation in future cooperation.
She turned her head to look at Bai Jin, but found that he lowered his head. Perhaps he noticed her gaze, and Bai Jin asked in a strange, slightly hoarse tone:
"That will help you, right?"
"Yes." White Wolf nodded.
"That's good, I'm glad I can help you."
Miss Bai Jin lowered her head again, and suddenly picked up the cup to drink water in a hurry. Her fingers were shaking. She drank too fast and choked on her throat, causing her to cry.
"I'm sorry, I choked."
Miss Bai Jin turned her face away, as if she was afraid of being laughed at, hiding her embarrassment and hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Chapter 2023 Allies 07-02-12 00:03:
After the little incident of choking on water, White Wolf and Silver Gray continued to communicate, while Miss Platinum fell into trance-like thought alone.
When a person watches his dreams turn into bubbles and the happiness that is within reach fly away before his eyes, and is suddenly hit by too strong a sadness and disappointment, he will enter a similar state.
She had an urgent idea in her mind, which was to make it clear to Miss White Wolf: she hated the Chamber of Commerce, she wanted to leave there forever, and she wanted to be with you.
When she tried to conceal and suppress her emotions, she was not only trying to curb her sadness, but also to restrain the urge to make everything clear.
This is a negotiation venue, she won't say anything, she doesn't want to do anything that would hinder White Wolf in the slightest.
Even now, she still felt guilty about the encounter with the Black Knight. How could she cause trouble for Miss White Wolf a second time?
If we really need to explain, we will have to wait until the negotiations are over.
But after the negotiations are over, will I confess to Miss White Wolf?
Sadness itself has the answer.
In Casimir's law of survival, people without value will be abandoned.
She knew that Miss White Wolf didn't care about these things, and that what Miss White Wolf cared about was her herself. But the more she understood these things, the more she couldn't accept her efforts with peace of mind.
She must do something to prove that she has the right to stand by Miss White Wolf's side. She began to hate her previous dream. She absolutely did not want to be a lazy person who only knew how to sleep and bask in the sun, leaving Miss White Wolf to suffer alone.
When she was in the Chamber of Commerce, she decided to return to White Wolf. The reason she convinced herself at the time was that she felt she could not obtain any meaningful information and it was pointless to stay in the Chamber of Commerce. It would be better for her to find an opportunity to help Miss White Wolf.
During this trip to Kjerag, after several communications with Director Durul and the important negotiations tonight, she finally realized the fact that made her feel complicated - her previous thoughts were wrong, and her importance far exceeded her expectations.
If it's useful to Miss White Wolf, what's wrong with staying in Casimir?
Can she really make a difference after she arrives at a scientific research company like Bingshi Technology?
Even if she can make a difference, will she play a greater role in the Chamber of Commerce?
She had the answer in her heart, so she knew that even if the negotiations were over, she would not tell Miss White Wolf her true thoughts.
No, that's not right. Leaving with Miss White Wolf is no longer her real idea. Her real idea is to go to the Chamber of Commerce and willingly walk into the cage that imprisoned her and which she hated for half her life.
……
Humans often exhibit extremely complex natures.
Faced with the tough and cruel order of survival, Miss Platinum can choose to deal with it passively and handle the various instructions from her superiors in a lazy and casual manner. Although she is in a cage, freedom is always with her heart.
Until one day, she encountered a harbor of freedom and met a liberator who brought her happiness and freedom, and then she began to lose her freedom completely.
