Chapter 272 (2/2)
From the corner of Sean's eye, he glanced at Neil's right hand on the table. The index finger of this hand kept tapping the table, so Sean smiled and said, ”of course, this proposal is very good Then let's sign the contract now. ”
”Of course.” TEDES also smiled and nodded. He couldn't see whether he was happy or sorry, but he still didn't get the upper hand. ”I like your serious attitude of one thing to another.”
The contract was drafted temporarily, but neither party had any opinions, so it was signed very smoothly.
After that, the contract was made in duplicate, and each party kept one copy. However, Sean kept not only the original contract, but also a scroll, which recorded the formula of the deployment and production process of black steel stone, as well as a gold exchange roll of Pan continental chamber of commerce with a face value of 100000.
”Well, since both of us can reach an agreement on this matter, I hope the next negotiation will also enable both of us to reach an agreement.” Ted smiled a little, took advantage of this to change his tone and cheer up again, because he knew that the next negotiation was the most important thing. It can be said that the arrival of their whole mission was for this matter. ”For the redemption of Baron lonnis, we are willing to pay a ransom of 100000 Ryan gold coins, In this regard, you can ask for a direct exchange for the gold exchange roll, or you can offer materials with a total value of equivalent In addition to releasing Baron lonnis, I hope you can stop all military actions immediately. ”
William wrote a note and handed it to Sean. Sean looked at it and asked, ”what does the so-called immediate stop include?”
This is formal negotiation etiquette.
Only the three persons in the primary position and the left and right secondary positions are qualified to speak, but under normal circumstances, the left and right secondary positions only remind and refute when the main diplomat is negligent, and even attack some mistakes. Only those who are really qualified to make decisions or even bargain are those who sit in the main position, that is, in this negotiation, only Sean and Ted have the right to bargain. Although the left and right secondary positions of both sides can participate in the discussion, they can't decide anything.
Those who are outside the secondary position are not even qualified to discuss. If they have any questions or questions, they can only be put forward by the person in the primary position by writing on a note. However, under normal circumstances, people who sit outside the second place are generally responsible for the transmission and sorting of records and materials. They have almost never seen anyone submit notes to the main diplomat.
William's move immediately made Ted notice that the people on Sean's side were probably not simple.
However, he quickly replied: ”including the withdrawal of border patrol troops and the return of two occupied territories, and the army under the cabinet shall not carry out any military acts against the participating lords in the next three years.”
”I can't agree to this request.” Sean shook his head and refused as tedders expected. ”The noble coalition was formed by your country first. My counterattack was just self-defense under pressure. Unless the two barons are willing to compensate for this, I agree not to pursue the actions of the two barons in this incident, otherwise I will choose to attack at the time I think appropriate. ”
”The two barons are willing to pay 30000 gold coins each as compensation to the defeated side.” Ted said, ”but I hope you can give me a grace. They will repay it in batches within six months. Of course, if you want other goods equivalent to the equivalent, the two barons also agree to pay.”
These two barons do not have much background in William's intelligence. Unlike lonnis, although they are barons, there is a shadow of the Marquis family behind them. Therefore, it is really stressful for them to collect 30000 gold coins for compensation. However, from this point, it can be seen that the two barons are more sincere in compensation. Sean is naturally not too embarrassed about this. Anyway, the territory of the two barons is not an important place, let alone a place for him to use.
But he can't agree so easily, otherwise it will be disadvantageous to his next negotiation.
Negotiation is war and chess in another sense.
There is no fairness in the negotiation between winners and losers, which is like the gap between an empire and a kingdom.
Therefore, TEDES must argue one by one on the terms of these negotiations. For this reason, it was only about the compensation and apology of the two barons that he finally reached an agreement after arguing for nearly half an hour: the compensation of the two barons would bring Sean a total income of 70000 Ryan gold coins.
Ted gently wiped the sweat on his forehead. He finally found the real difficulty of Sean's negotiating team. The limit of the two barons is 100000 Ryan gold coins, but this includes 60000 gold coins and 40000 materials equivalent to compensation. Originally, he could almost ask Sean to promise to pay 30000 gold coins each. However, he didn't expect that Cecilia caught his braid and bit 70000 compensation because he missed a word, These include materials with a total value of 40000 and 30000 gold coins.
On the surface, the compensation is actually very light. After all, 30000 gold coins were saved.
But in fact, the materials with a total value of 40000 gold coins are equivalent to completely emptying the reserves of the two barons over the years. This value is more valuable than a simple 40000 gold coins. Because the market always determines the price based on the demand, the shortage of materials will only lead to the rise of the price. In this way, it means that the gold coins still held by the two barons will be seriously reduced.
Ted has clearly felt the pressure of the negotiation（ To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly ticket at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
