My Prime Minister is so cute

So Bird finally took action and, relying on the trust accumulated over this period of time, made Misabel agree to Emmaline's request.

And the moment Misabel said that she was selling "Paradise", Emmaline became Misabel's leader, that is, the leader of Bird's leader, and would be affected by the aura of reduced intelligence.

Then the problem will be much easier to solve.

"Acquisition plan?"

Emma Lin was surprised to hear this and said, "Does this require any acquisition conditions? Just name a price and leave, and give me the magazine and social networking."

"Absolutely not," Bird shook his head. "First of all, when it comes to running a magazine, we need to select professional talent. You know that the current success of Paradise is entirely due to the efforts of Editor-in-Chief Misabelle. If she leaves immediately, how can Paradise's continued success be guaranteed?"

"Your Highness, as far as I know, you acquired the magazine to prove yourself. If the situation of "Happy Paradise" takes a sharp turn for the worse after the acquisition, wouldn't that mean you've accomplished nothing?"

“Blah blah…”

[Emmaline Intelligence-1]

[Misabelle Intelligence -1]

[Sarah Intelligence -1]

After a series of exchanges, Emmaline's intelligence was reduced by 30 points.

Although the intelligence seems to have only decreased by 30 points, it should not have much impact. After all, most people have an intelligence of 90-110, and the smarter ones go to 120. A decrease of 30 points is still more than 90.

But IQ is something that can't be judged solely by its numerical value. It's like the frame rate when playing FPS games. Once you get used to the smoothness of a high frame rate, such as 144 frames, and it suddenly drops to 60 frames, you will feel very stuck, and your aiming and operation will be greatly distorted.

At this time, those who usually play at 60 frames are already accustomed to this frame rate and can rely on their proficient 60-frame experience to easily defeat the 60 players who have dropped to 144 frames.

The same applies to intelligence.

If your intelligence suddenly drops by 30 points, your entire brain will become stiff and stuck, becoming extremely uncomfortable.

Unless your intelligence is very high, to the point where a 30-point reduction in intelligence won't have much of an impact, for example, for a 360-frame player, a reduction to 240 frames probably won't feel much.

Emmaline is clearly not a 360-frame player.

After her intelligence dropped by 30 points at once, she felt dizzy and her thinking became stiff. She couldn't help rubbing her temples, wondering if she didn't sleep well last night.

As for Bird's question, she thought about it and felt that it made sense, so she nodded and said, "What you said makes sense. How about this, you and Misabel stay and continue to work for me at the magazine."

"Very good, the first condition has been agreed upon."

Bird smiled slightly: "Then let's talk about the employee work incentive plan."

"Although Editor-in-Chief Misabel stayed and continued working, since the Paradise Publishing House was no longer her property, her work enthusiasm would inevitably drop significantly, and she would be unable to run Paradise to its fullest potential..."

"Is this, this, like this?"

Emmaline stuttered and asked, "Then, then, what should I do?"

The maid beside her looked at her strangely, not understanding why she suddenly stuttered, but thinking that Her Royal Highness the Princess often acted on impulse, she thought that maybe she just thought it was fun, so she didn't say anything else.

"It's very simple, just give equity incentives."

Bird smiled and said, "Give Miss Misabel 30% of the shares and 70% of the dividends. This will not only not affect your status as the boss, but will also motivate Misabel's work enthusiasm."

"It seems, it seems to make sense?"

Emmaline tilted her head and thought for a moment, a troubled glint in her pupils: "But, the dividends, aren't they a bit too much?"

Bird smiled faintly. "With your wealth, Your Highness, how could you possibly miss out on this little bit of money? Rather than earning this little bit of money, you might as well use it to win people's hearts. As the saying goes, a thousand gold coins buy a horse's bones. Knowing your generosity, more people will be willing to work with you in the future!"

Emmaline fell into thought.

Emmaline thought hard.

Emmaline agreed with this statement: "Yes, that makes sense. Anyway, I don't need that little money either."

Bird nodded in satisfaction and continued, "Then the third condition."

"What, more?" Emmaline interrupted, a little unhappy, "Please, don't ask for so much."

"That's the last condition."

Bird promised, "Promise this, Your Highness, and I promise you will have a promising magazine called Paradise, a magazine you can use to prove your abilities..."

"Humph."

Although she was very unhappy, Emmaline still nodded reluctantly: "For the sake of Bersabia, teacher, please speak."

"One last condition."

Bird coughed lightly twice, pondered for a moment, and spoke quickly, "To maintain the internal independence of Happy Paradise, to prevent those inexperienced with magazine management and operations from guiding those who are, and to ensure Happy Paradise operates conscientiously and on the right path, and avoids shortsighted and blind actions driven by profit margins, you must not interfere with the editorial department's well-considered business decisions unless they have unanimous agreement from the editorial staff, including the editor-in-chief..."

Emmaline: “?”

Emmaline fell into thought.

Emmaline thought hard.

Emmaline fell into a state of panic, and her mind gradually stopped functioning.

"Your Highness," Bird reminded with a smile, "Do you understand? Do you need me to explain it again?"

"Oh, of course." Emmaline's eyes sparkled, and she nodded her head seriously. "I, I completely understand. Let's do this. Later, we'll sign the contract."

"There's no time to lose, why not sign it now? I have a prepared contract here."

Bird smiled as he pulled out two prepared contracts from his pocket. After completing some of the reserved spaces, he quickly filled in a string of numbers for the purchase amount and handed them to Emmaline. "Make two copies. After signing, each of you keep one copy..."

Looking at the two contracts prepared in front of him.

Emmaline had a vague feeling that something was not right.

But she frowned, picked up the contract and looked at the purchase amount on it, and couldn't help but be stunned.

Very cheap.

The purchase price of "Happy Paradise" written in the contract was only 50% of the assessed selling price, far lower than her psychological expectation of 120%. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was given away for free.

Emmaline was delighted, so she signed her name on the contract without hesitation and stamped it.

"This is the price you proposed yourself!" She said proudly after signing. "No, you can't go back on your word!"

"Yes, Your Highness." Bird said with a smile.

Chapter 197 I’m very curious!

Emmaline left satisfied, taking the acquisition contract with her.

Sarah and Misabel sat on the sofa, thinking quietly, their brows furrowed.

Bird glanced at the two men, waved the contract in his hand, and said with a smile, "They're gone now. Do you want to take a closer look at this fair contract?"

[Sarah IQ -1]

[Misabelle IQ -1]

Bird's mouth twitched and he quickly turned off the halo.

There is a disadvantage of the leader's intelligence-reducing aura, which is that it is an AoE that does not distinguish between friend and foe. The intelligence reduction just now also lowered the frame rate of both of them.

Even though the halo is off.

Misabel and Sarah were still in a slump and were wondering what had happened.

After all, everything happened too fast.

It only took a few words to negotiate a contract, and the terms were so... fair?

Theoretically speaking, Emmaline's conditions are more like investment than purchase, exchanging 50% of the market price for 30% of the dividends, and no management investment is required. It is a normal investment for those who are optimistic about the company.

But given the current situation of the two, this kind of justice is not reasonable.

Because "Happy Paradise" is now completely controlled by the other party, and it is only a matter of words to completely shut it down. Logically speaking, the normal outcome is that the entire magazine company should be swallowed up. It is generous of Misabel to stay and work.

Misabel didn't understand how Her Highness Emmaline agreed to such a contract.

She couldn't help but look at Bird.

"How did you do it?" Misabel asked, her eyes burning.

"What?"

Bird asked back.

"How did you get Emmaline to agree to sign this contract?" Misabel asked, bewildered. "I really can't understand how you managed to convince her so easily. Even if an ordinary person were in such a strong position, they wouldn't agree to sign a contract like this."

"It's so unreasonable. This contract is hard to understand."

"It's really not very reasonable."

Bird thought about it and nodded seriously: "It can indeed be sold at a higher price. 50% market valuation is still too low."

Misabel: “???”

【Evaluation: Is this unreasonable? 】

[Reward: 10 experience points/one piece of beaver fur.]

Seeing Misabel's stunned expression.

Bird thought to himself that this was just the beginning.

After her IQ is reduced, Emmaline becomes a coal boss who is stupid and rich.

If possible, he could negotiate a more stringent contract and make Emmaline a purebred victim.

However, considering that the time of IQ reduction is limited, when Princess Emmaline's IQ returns to normal and she realizes something is wrong, the more she thinks about it, the more she feels that she has suffered a huge loss. It will be troublesome if she tears up the contract and regrets it.

This level is just right now.

"In short, Her Highness Emmaline has done something meaningful by acquiring the magazine she wanted. Editor-in-Chief, you can continue to run 'Happy Paradise' smoothly and probably won't have to worry about anyone finding fault with you anymore. Isn't that great?"

Bird smiled and handed the contract to the other party: "Don't overthink it. There are always things that can't be explained. Come and keep this contract."

Sarah, who was sitting on the sofa, also spoke at this time: "Misabelle, you think too much. Since the contract conditions are suitable, isn't it okay?"

"...You're right, I was being too picky."

Misabel thought for a moment, then held the contract in her arms. A pure smile, like the first clear day after rain, appeared on her face. "That's great. Thank you, Mr. Bird."

Everything that just happened seemed like a dream.

really.

When Bird asked her to agree to sell "Paradise" just now, her choice to trust the other party was the right one.

Teacher Bird has once again saved "Happy Paradise".

...No, maybe this time, Mr. Bird is not saving "Paradise", but her.

After all, "Happy Paradise" can function normally without her, but she almost loses the motivation to live after leaving "Happy Paradise".

"correct."

Bird thought of something and added, "To prevent regrets, issue a statement as quickly as possible, praising our generous and great Princess Emmaline Margaret and stating that both parties have reached an agreement on the acquisition."

"We're not being acquired, are we?"

Misabel thought about it.

"It doesn't matter." Bird shrugged. "What's important is to make others think that we have been acquired. That's enough. It can also be considered as giving face to the generous prince."

"Ok."

Misabel held the contract and couldn't help but smile: "Thank you, our generous and great Princess."

......

at the same time.

In a moving carriage, Emmaline's intelligence gradually returned to normal and she realized that something seemed to be wrong.

"its not right."

She looked at the signed contract in her hand and fell into deep thought. "Didn't I come here to acquire the entire Happy Paradise? Why did it suddenly become a stake?"

"And we haven't even verified whether Teacher Bersabia is a little boy or a girl, so why am I leaving?"

Recall the process.

There seems to be nothing wrong, but there also seems to be something wrong.

Emmaline raised her head and looked at the maid who had been with her since she was a child. She asked seriously, "Joey, do you feel that something is wrong?"

Joey recalled: "You stuttered a little bit."
