Chapter 69: Hidden feelings

I smirked and catered to this guy. "So can we have a formal conversation?"

"Of course, please come with me!" The leader's attitude obviously recognized our strength, so that the subsequent negotiations can be carried out on an equal basis and I can get more things.

When I followed the guy to the springboard, I suddenly remembered something and stopped to say to the girls on the boat: "You guys are good at the boat, don't let these people come up again. If they get close, beat them up for me."

When he said this, the boss of the White Shark tribe remembered to order loudly: "You all come back, let go of our guests, and don't be so unreasonable."

Our players were free, and the soldiers of the White Shark Clan also left our ship. However, the captain of the guard always glared at me, and it seemed that they were not so easy to meet.

After following their boss into the other side's warship, he found that the warship was not actually as small as I thought. On the contrary, this guy's size is really rare. The big guy's shape is a giant shark. What I saw just now was only a small part of the exposed water surface, and the real body was under the water. The thing that was considered a bridge at first was actually just the dorsal fin of the shark. As for what was inside, it was not a bridge anyway.

The entrance of this big guy is a small door on the back of the shark. It looks like this thing is a giant jellyfish. After entering the interior, you have to use a straight up and down elevator to go down a distance. After leaving the elevator, it is a huge space. This is the interior of the shark mothership, which is actually a large port. Many small shark ships stop here. There are waterproof doors similar to Atlantis's mouth, but they are quite huge, allowing the small shark ship to enter and exit at will.

After we got down to this port, we walked backwards, and through several doors, we finally entered a room similar to the living room. The other entourage retreated, leaving only the leader and two women, one big and one small.

I looked at this huge luxurious room and sighed: "It's so big! Such a luxurious warship is so terrifying. Your power seems to be very powerful?"

"This thing hasn't been moved for hundreds of years. If we hadn't received this batch of huge magic crystals this time, we wouldn't have been willing to activate this guy."

I nodded. "But, this time the business is so big, it is the right choice for you to enable it. The mermaids attack our fleet, and it is hard to guarantee that they will not attack you too. After all, as long as you get these things, the ocean will become your pocket."

The Shark Clan leader smiled and said, "Matsumoto Jun is really good at choosing his subordinates. He actually sent such a powerful negotiating expert as you."

"Am I? You read it wrong? I'm not a negotiating expert."

"Your Excellency, don't be so humble. You know that you are not an ordinary person based on your words just now. Besides, Matsumoto-kun himself stayed to delay time, but he sent you, and said you are not an expert?"

I deliberately pretended to be confused and said, "Did I say anything? Besides, I sent me here just because I am the captain of the Sakura, and there is no special reason for this."

"Don't you admit it? Even if you are indeed the captain of that ship, your words are definitely not something that ordinary people say."

"What do you mean? Why don't I know?" I refused to admit it anyway.

"You just said that we should send such a large warship to pick up the goods, and said that we deliberately emphasized that we can dominate the ocean by getting the goods. This is your cleverness."

This old guy is as smart as a monkey. He can see all these tricks. He can't argue with him, so he has to admit it. "Since you have seen it, I won't argue, but I hope you understand that what I said is definitely the truth. And the facts may be more serious."

The little girl-like woman said, "Dad, what else do you say? I can't even understand!"

After all, the little guy is too innocent. The mystery of us old traitors is not something she understands at this age. Seeing that the Shark Clan leader seemed to have no interest in explaining it, I stopped waiting and continued, "Does the clan leader think what I think makes sense?"

He nodded: "Although I don't want to admit it, I have to admit that you are right. The mermaid tribe will not let us be strong. Now they are still afraid of our inventory of magic crystals, but if these magic crystals are robbed by them this time, they will definitely exterminate us in one go. This is too dangerous."

"You understand the current situation and our business will be easy to negotiate." Doing a business means letting the other party know who is the dominant. Now let them know that I am not in a hurry. Magic crystal is a consumable and can be sold sooner or later, and there is no waste. But if they can't get the goods, it's a question whether they can survive. This is the condition. With this environment between the two parties, I can raise the price. Anyway, they have to buy it, but I don't have to sell it. The transaction is not always equal.

"So what price do you want?" This guy was a little weak when I was making him speak. It seemed that he was unsure.

I can't force him to get angry now, so as not to get anxious. "Don't be too nervous. We will have opportunities to cooperate in the future, so we won't ask for a sky-high price."

The White Shark Clan leader wiped his forehead, and he was sweating nervously. "Thank you, then, in return, I can give you a small warship in my personal name. Our warships are fast, have a long battery life, and have advanced technology. They are very different from the underwater warships you built."

I shook my hand. "I don't need kickbacks. To be honest, I am the major shareholder of the guild. Taking kickbacks is equivalent to harming your own interests, so you should concentrate the benefits in the transaction, right?"

"Of course." This guy's momentum was worse than the momentum of the first meeting. My repeated suppression has made this old guy more and more haggard. Grinding away his momentum and consuming his sharpness is the second key point in business. Once your negotiating opponent is defeated by your momentum, he can only follow you. The party leading the negotiation can often get more benefits, and this is the truth.

"That's it." I said: "You will first introduce the items or technical information that can be traded."

"Okay." He quickly turned around and took out a bunch of documents from a cabinet. "This is a technical information directory, and I have brought it all. If you have any needs, you can choose it yourself. And this is our warship information, you can choose some as trading items. If you don't like it, we have this." He took out a small herald. "This is a seal of the ocean, which can ensure that the sea water is absolutely calm and will not cause a sound of sailing."

"I don't want the seal protection. Do we have similar equipment and warships? To be honest, I don't like any of them except this big guy."

"This big one can be sold. Anyway, this thing used to be used for ocean-going combat. Now we are in danger in our local area. Don't consider ocean-going. Keeping it is a waste. Besides, can we still build it if we need it in the future!"

"You guys are selling this guy too?" I just said that I didn't want to use a boat to check out, not that I wanted this boat. But this guy actually said it could be sold! It's hard for me to refuse! Think about it carefully, this thing is not very useful, and it doesn't seem to be a loss when I buy it. Anyway, I used the Japanese magic crystal stone to exchange for the White Shark tribe's things, and 60% of them were fake and shoddy products! "I can say first that this thing is an antique with hundreds of years of history. It's not as good as a new boat, and it can't be charged much debt."

"I understand, please think about it!" This old guy was completely decadent.

"No." The little girl suddenly jumped out. "I don't agree."

"Linlin, don't make trouble."

"No! The Great White Shark is our pride and a symbol of race. How can we betray it?"

The older woman pulled the little girl and said, "Linlin, don't mess around. If there is no magic crystal to replenish our energy barrier, will it collapse? If the sea water rushes down, we will be finished. Your father is also for everyone's survival! Speaking of which, this is a royal ship, and the one that feels most distressing is your father!"

"But...but...!" The little girl suddenly stood up and walked up to me and said, "Why are you so bad?"

This question is level! I thought for a while and said, "Am I bad? It seems a little." Suddenly, I looked up at her and pointed at the cover wrist on my left wrist. "Do you see the little star on this? This is an evil mark, and it is only issued to the most evil people. You can get one of this things for every 1,000 lives killed. Count how many are there?" The little girl covered her mouth in surprise and retreated. Hehe, my red name value has all reached the sky, and the display on the cover wrist has long been as numerous as the stars in the sky. "Do you know why I am so bad?"

"He is a devil!" The little girl was so scared that she hid in her mother's arms.

I said to the old guy, "Let's go ahead?"

"Oh! Hum!"

"Although this warship is a little older, it is very large and seems to be very well-armed, right?"

"Yes. Yes. With the construction of the Great White Shark, it is relatively old, but it is well maintained and fully armed. The most important thing is that many of the components are replaceable. If there are any problems, you can replace them directly. It will be very easy to upgrade the technology in the future."

"That's fine." I nodded. "How about this ship counting as a quarter of your cargo?"

"Isn't it too little?" the middle-aged woman asked carefully.

"Not many. Although this thing is very big, it does not have much practical value. In terms of speed, it cannot escape surface ships, and in terms of firepower, it is not very powerful. In terms of defense, it is even more average. The most important thing is that this thing is older than me and is almost scrapped, so many things are already quite large." I feel like the pawnshop owner is exploiting honest people who are being used as things.

"So please check the technical manual, please tell us what else you need."

I only took more than ten minutes to read the information. This White Shark Clan is definitely not an honest person. This information is very watery, many of which are just peripheral technologies on the edge, without core technologies at all, and the genealogy is very complicated. Even if the whole book is taken back, it cannot produce actual things. It is really cunning. I felt a little sympathy just now. It was a waste of emotion!

"There is no information we need on this, I think there should be a second information." I closed the catalog and threw it on the table. "If you don't plan to have a good talk, I don't want to waste time. I believe that the mermaids want these things more than you, and they should give a good price." I stood up and acted to leave, and the old guy and her woman rushed up immediately and pressed me back to the seat.

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious." The old guy grabbed me and said, "It's our wrong, it's our wrong, please calm down." He winked, and the middle-aged woman immediately took out another book of information from a secret compartment behind. "Please check it out again this time."

I took the information and said, "This is the last time. If I can't find a suitable one, I will leave immediately."

"Yes, yes, yes. You will definitely be satisfied this time."

I opened the information and looked at it. It was indeed core technology, but I found a serious problem. The technical information of the White Shark tribe is repeated with many things from the mermaids, sea turtles, and octopus tribes! Just like the current countries, we all know some of the technology between each other, but the level is somewhat different. The same is true for this White Shark tribe. The technologies at the bottom of the sea are not much different. It is difficult to find too many repetitive technologies! After searching for a long time, there are only two satisfied ones, but the problem is that these two technologies seem to be worth less than three quarters of the remaining! I opened the two chapters in the information and said, "I really don't know what else to get except for this oscillation constraint technology and this space configuration technology. But these two technologies seem to be worth at most one quarter? What should you do when you see this?"

The patriarch gritted his teeth and said, "Is the production technology of the Great White Shark possible? I bought it out at one time and guaranteed that you can produce warships like the Great White Shark yourself."

"I'm a little interested in this. But if this happens, I seem to be at a disadvantage!"

"But we really have nothing to exchange!" The woman said helplessly: "There are only so many skills, and you don't want the ship, so we can't do anything!"

"Use me." The little girl suddenly stood up. "I'll follow you and compensate for the rest."

"No." The patriarch shouted with her wife.

I looked at the little girl. "What value do you have? Our transaction is not simple one or two points? Besides, what do I want you to do? Give me a reason why you are worth so much."

"The little guy is ignorant, don't pay attention to him." The patriarch tried hard to interrupt me and wanted me to divert my attention.

The patriarch's wife quickly dragged the little girl out of the room, but the little girl was always resisting awkwardly. When she was pulled to the door, she suddenly grabbed the door frame and shouted, "You won't regret taking me away."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Her mother tried hard to pull her out, but she just let go.

I looked at her holding the door frame: "Do you have value?"

Two lines of clear tears shed on her face, and she nodded firmly. "I am a royal family, I can make underwater monitors, and any creatures and metals that are close to me will react."

"What are you talking nonsense?"

Her mother pulled her hands hard and pushed her out, but she grabbed the door frame and didn't let go and looked at me with a pleading look. "Please, they will die without magic crystals. Xiaoman, Haierfa, Luna and many others will die!" After that, she was already crying.

Now my mind is a little confused. Is this a scam or something? If it is a scene, then this little girl's acting skills are too exaggerated! But if it is true, there are many places that have serious conflicts with previous cognitions. Think about it carefully, the problem may be in Atlantis. The white sharks' performance is very cruel and evil in the description of Atlantis, but the situations in front of me are obviously very different from the original Atlantis' statement. I did not see any evil or cruel performance, but I was just a bit rude in our behavior at the beginning. What I see is just a race that struggles to survive, so how can there be the appearance of the invaders in Atlantis' description?

I know that it is wrong to shake, and it is even more unfair to doubt allies. But I have already started to shake. There is obviously something wrong with Emperor Atlantis's words. What is the reason? Could it be because of a simple hostile relationship? Just like us and the Americans, they say that China threatens world security all day long, and we also criticize the United States for launching a war, but in fact, it is just because everyone is in two different camps.

The relationship between the White Sharks and Atlantis is likely to be like Sino-US relations, but the contradictions are more intense. Both sides simply do not want each other to be strong and threaten themselves, and there is no real evil or not.

Should I help them? If I save the White Shark tribe, it means that it is possible to offend the mermaid tribe. At the very least, it will withdraw technical assistance, and at the worst, it will die with us. However, this will get the technical support of the White Shark tribe. The technical strength of the two sides is almost the same, and it is almost the same for anyone. If you don’t help the White Shark tribe, of course you won’t offend the mermaids, but the problem is that the White Shark tribe is very pitiful, and they were indeed the most powerful undersea race, which is more valuable than the mermaids.
