Chapter 273 (1/2)
Negotiation is war and chess in another sense.
This sentence is a famous saying deeply rooted in the bone marrow and soul for any diplomat. Because any little mistake, compromise and concession will bring almost permanent trauma to his family and country.
The compensation of these two barons will make the materials in the territory very poor in the next few years at least. It will be a long time to really recover. The result of this is that the two nobles attached to the boulder family will become a burden and burden to the boulder family, but due to the long-term development policy of the boulder family, it is naturally impossible to abandon the two nobles.
So if you don't want these two nobles to end up in such a situation, the boulder family will bear all the compensation results.
This is also a difficult outcome for Ted.
But fortunately, at least one negotiation problem was solved. He braced himself for the next negotiation: ”since both sides have no opinion on this article, let's work it out.”
”Yes.” Sean nodded.
Of course, he should give TEDES some confidence. If he just makes a strong attack without letting people slow down, the string that is too tight will break. Therefore, the proper relaxation rhythm is the real secret to master the rhythm of a negotiation, especially when it is forced to exceed the other party's psychological expectations and force the other party to nod and agree, it is necessary to give the other party a little sweetness, so as to better grasp the rhythm.
Otherwise, once you are beaten by the other party, it's hard to say who controls the rhythm.
Of course, Sean doesn't know any negotiation skills at all. He just relies on Neil's gestures to determine whether the current situation is good for him.
When Neil knocked down his index finger, it was acceptable; If you knock down the middle finger, it means rejection; The ring finger represents that we can strive for greater interests; The tail finger pretends to think for three minutes. With this series of actions, of course, Neil and Cecilia will also speak at an appropriate time to achieve the role of reminding and pertinence. With the cooperation of these three people, TEDES alone will not get any benefits.
You know, even though TEDES is good at negotiation, he has only one person, and his opponents are two opponents whose skills are not under him at all. In particular, Neil is still an elf. For a long time, he has seen a lot of human cunning and aristocratic hidden rules. Therefore, as long as Neil takes the initiative at the negotiation table, it is equivalent to William opening the perspective of battlefield God.
As for Cecilia, she really only made up for and picked up the leak.
When Neil focuses on one aspect, he often ignores other considerations, so some terms can't be so accurate. Cecilia has no obvious advantages and disadvantages, but the identity of a magician makes her extremely intelligent, and her memory and thinking ability are also excellent, so many details can be captured by her immediately, which gives TEDES a headache.
At this moment, Ted had guessed the origin of Cecilia.
But what if you know?
TEDES could only curse in his heart: ”it's really a luxury to let a magician participate in the negotiation!”
Not all magicians are so idle.
After reaching an agreement on the compensation of the two barons for this article, the subsequent negotiation of the treaty will be much easier and the progress is obviously much faster. However, having learned the terrible of Sean's team, Ted naturally won't have any time to relax. His high concentration makes him feel a little tired, but that's just the work of negotiation.
”Then next, it is about the two territories currently occupied by your army.” TEDES continued, ”I hope your excellency can withdraw the general immediately. After all, this is the territory of the kingdom of dabion. Of course, your army, as the victor, can also receive a corresponding compensation. The specific amount of this compensation is the full income of the two territories in the next year. ”
”I have exactly the opposite opinion with you on this point.” Sean shook his head. ”Whether it's the chilav or the Dayi, it will be officially incorporated into my territory, which can't be changed. So nominally, I would like to protest against you, because some time ago, an army belonging to your country broke into my territory under the Dayi leadership. I hope you can immediately stop all actions of this army and withdraw from my territory. Otherwise, I will regard it as an act of declaration of war. ”
