Chapter 272 (1/2)

”The 500000 gold coins you asked for are not unpaid to the boulder family, but don't you think such behavior is damaging the friendship between the two nobles?”

The long table for negotiation is placed horizontally in the room. According to the formal habit of using the table, the theme must be located at one end of the long table, and then the positions are divided by the left and right seats one by one. However, this habit is obviously not applicable to negotiation and diplomacy. Therefore, according to the traditional way, the negotiating parties must sit on the left and right sides of the long table. In order to highlight the friendship and etiquette of the negotiating parties, there is no distinction between upper and lower positions.

However, for their diplomatic missions, there are still primary and secondary positions, so the number is mainly singular under normal circumstances.

Like the diplomatic corps of the boulder family, the nobleman with the title of Earl sat in the middle of the side of the long table facing the window. There were three other people sitting on the left and right sides of him, but only the nobleman sitting in the main seat and two people in the left and right seats were really qualified to speak. The remaining four were basically responsible for sorting out data and relevant written records Data transmission, etc.

In the face of this more formal diplomatic mission, Sean seemed a little amateur.

Because although he was sitting in the middle of the throne, facing the count of the other side, Cecilia was on his left and Neil and William were on his right. So it seems that Neil can also be regarded as sitting on the throne. There was nothing wrong with this little defect, but now the momentum of the boulder family is booming, so it seems that Sean's side is a little short of breath.

At this time, the count sitting on the throne was the one who spoke. His attitude was not tough, but he could definitely be cold: ”Your Excellency may say that the Duke and you are not from the same country, so you don't need to consider friendship. But I believe in a word that more friends are better than more enemies I wonder if you feel the same way? ”

Jazz is not the rank of nobility. If Sean is called jazz, it is not a compliment to a lord, but a derogatory meaning, especially from a man with the title of earl. But if Sean is called Lord directly, it is also not a polite behavior, because it is a barbarian way of calling.

Therefore, your excellency naturally becomes the only choice.

Just like the count, it is really not easy to shout out the honorific title of ”Your Excellency” with a sincere face.

However, Sean is not such a fool. Since the other party uses such words as an opening speech, it naturally shows that he recognizes the rules formulated by Sean in the last negotiation in some way. However, whether there is Duke hatch or some kind of kindness or other meaning of the boulder family, Sean can't guess now, but what he always likes most is playing the ball.

”I agree with you very much, and I have a good feeling for people who know etiquette and respect. Then I don't know... ”

”Ted, Ted boulder.” The count, who was no longer young, immediately said, ”Your Excellency can call me Ted.”

”Well... I don't know how much Mr. Ted thinks it is more appropriate to compensate me?” Sean nodded and finished his words. ”I believe that with Mr. Ted's wisdom, we can certainly make a decision that makes us very satisfied with each other in this regard, right?”

Facing Sean's smile, Ted's eyes flashed a trace of surprise, but it was only a moment. Then he soon recovered, and even pretended to lower his head and cough to hide the surprise in his eyes.

In fact, there is something that should surprise Ted.

Sean's rhetorical question seems to give him the initiative, but in fact it has gained the upper hand and overall control of the whole negotiation. If his next answer can't satisfy Sean, it's reasonable for Sean to cancel the negotiation, and even the boulder family will be cursed for it. Originally, TEDES had prepared several sets of plans, which gave him enough confidence to gradually gain the upper hand and control in the subsequent negotiations, so as to make the negotiations more beneficial to him.

However, he did not expect that the key compensation issue, which seemed to him to be a breakthrough, had in turn become the other party's breakthrough.

TEDES put away the slightest contempt in his heart and calmed his chagrin. Since he ignored this problem, he must never ignore other problems in this negotiation.

”The recipe for making 100000 Ryan gold coins and black steel stone.” When his heart missed him, Ted immediately figured out the key, ”I'm sure you can understand the significance of this formula with your vision. Its value is definitely more favorable than normal gold compensation, isn't it? ”

Although the miracle continent has a wide spread of knowledge because of the existence of the God of wisdom, even ordinary civilians are mostly literate. However, intellectual property such as formula still has high value. Even if it is just a formula for making stone, its maximum value is more than 100000 gold coins. However, in terms of long-term interests, it is indeed more valuable for Sean than hundreds of thousands of gold coins.

Tedders' rapid response is enough to prove the sincerity of the boulder family. If Sean refuses, he will really be unreasonable, and the control and rhythm of the negotiation will completely fall into tedders' hands.

The ball kicked back into Sean's hands again.
