As a special envoy who can be sent out by the pan continental chamber of Commerce, in addition to being kind and tactful, the most important thing is to have a thick face.
But even the special envoy to Ryan, after seeing Sean's behavior, he deeply felt the gap between them. At this moment, he finally knew why those big figures in the chamber of Commerce Alliance wanted to slap Sean to death, because if it were him, he also wanted to slap Sean to death.
In the decades since he began to serve the chamber of Commerce Alliance, he has also experienced many strong winds and heavy rain, but he has never seen a person like Sean who swallowed the gift without changing his face and ordered him to leave. In normal social etiquette, if the main negotiator doesn't want to negotiate from the beginning, he will never accept any kind gifts from the other party.
However, Sean ignored this unspoken rule. He not only accepted gifts from the chamber of Commerce Alliance, but also ordered guests to be expelled completely without rules.
This is simply a bandit like behavior.
For ordinary people, the chamber of Commerce Alliance will definitely let such people spit out more than ten times the compensation as a price.
But in the face of Sean Connery, the special envoy from the trade capital, he was not strong at all. What he has in his heart at the moment is deep helplessness and sadness - he feels pain for setting such a negotiation goal. Similarly, he suddenly understood why the answer given by the chamber of Commerce Alliance shocked him when he asked if there was any bottom line on the side of the chamber of Commerce Alliance.
"You can do it."
In just four words, the special envoy felt that his opportunity had come, and it was entirely possible to climb another step in his official career.
But now, in the eyes of the special envoy, that is the end of his official career.
Of course, if he can successfully persuade Sean at a small cost, he may go further. However, seeing Sean accept the blue crystal without hesitation, and then look as if nothing had happened, as if he had not received any gifts at all, the special envoy knew that Sean was definitely a difficult role - it was absolutely impossible to win Sean at a small price.
Because the initiative is no longer on his side.
If he could, he really wanted to slap Sean to death. But let alone whether he has the strength to kill a duke in a kingdom, even now that the alliance of chambers of commerce is in full swing, he dare not do so recklessly - at least if he does so without justifiable reason, it is tantamount to challenging the ancient noble law. Therefore, even if Sean completely looted the underground point of the whole chamber of Commerce Alliance in the gray shadow black market, the chamber of Commerce Alliance can only force them to hand over Sean by exerting pressure on the Principality of Ryan, so that they can take action against Sean.
In any circle, there will be different rules.
Any act of transgression will incur punishment from the nobility.
In today's world, only one person can live well without scruples about the constraints of any rules and constantly breaking the default hidden rules of various circles.
This man is now the Ryan aristocrat.
Duke of void, Sean Connery.
"Let me introduce myself first." Looking at Sean waving like a fly, the special envoy could only squeeze out a standard smile after all.
However, before the special envoy finished speaking, Sean spoke again impatiently: "who are you and what does it matter to me? I really have nothing to say with the people of your Chamber of Commerce Alliance. Don't think I don't know what you wanted to do to me. If the War didn't come suddenly, do you think I could still sit here now? "
"I think there must be some misunderstanding." The special envoy felt that his facial muscles seemed a little stiff. "Although I don't know why this misunderstanding was caused, I think some things should be well communicated between the two sides, so that even if there is any misunderstanding, it can be properly solved to avoid deepening the misunderstanding and affecting our relationship."
In fact, even the special envoy could not believe what he was saying. It was him who kept exerting pressure on Ryan at the beginning, and at that time, he naturally acted under the orders of the chamber of Commerce Alliance. At that time, the attitude of the chamber of Commerce Alliance was that he wanted to tear down Sean's skin and bones immediately. Therefore, he naturally had a very tough and high attitude towards Ryan's royal family.
However, he never thought that he would one day be reduced to the level of humbling to please others. He even forgot that he had not done so for many years.
However, the current situation forced him to do so.
In the face of the special envoy's low voice, others may feel very superior and cool, but for Sean, this meaningless thing is not good for him at all.
He is a typical rabbit without an eagle. How can such a blue crystal satisfy Sean's appetite?
You know, what big waves haven't Sean seen? He is not even afraid to go to war with the chamber of Commerce Alliance. Will he be afraid of a small expatriate envoy at this moment?
"I have nothing to do with you." Sean disdained his lips. "Don't make us seem to know each other."
"When doing business, you always pay attention to being born twice." The special envoy was also cheeky. He didn't mind Sean's sarcasm at all. He still smiled and said, "Lord Sean, if you are dissatisfied with our previous misunderstanding, you can say it..."
"Oh, you asked me to say." Sean once again interrupted the other party without waiting for the special envoy to finish his words. The rapid response made the special envoy want to slap himself, "the gem you just gave me is actually very beautiful..."
The special envoy rolled his eyes: This is not nonsense!
The crystal of blue is an element crystal as famous as the flame of crimson color, the emerald stone and the steel of black rock. In the hands of some nobles, these gemstones may be high-grade gemstones worth tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of gold coins, but in the hands of magicians and other people, they are powerful magic materials that may be worth millions of gold coins, which is why these gemstones are valuable gems in the hands of the chamber of Commerce Alliance.
The special envoy didn't dare to report that he gave Sean a blue crystal. He directly replaced it with the word "highest purity sapphire". After all, sapphire of this level is used as a gift to meet people of Sean's level. It won't be too impolite or too expensive, At least there will be no bad impression in the trade capital.
The reason why the special envoy sent such a blue crystal is actually the idea of saving the country by playing a curve. Because according to the information he collected, Sean attached great importance to Cecilia's sister, and his sister was a real magician specializing in fire - if the special envoy couldn't get a crimson flame, he wouldn't bring a blue crystal.
Anyway, in his opinion, as long as Cecilia is done, Sean can be done.
Although this idea was true, after he heard Sean's next words, he didn't want to slap Sean, but wanted to slap himself.
Because Sean's next words were: "... But it's still monotonous with only one piece. Although I don't know much about gemstones and other things, I also know that such gemstones must have many colors, such as green, yellow and red. If you send me a few more gemstones of different colors, I may forget the misunderstanding between us. "
The emphasis was on green, yellow and red, and it was "such but different colored gemstones". If the special envoy did not know what Sean meant, he would not be qualified to sit in this position.
If he could, he really wanted to slap Sean and scold him: do you think the crystal of high-purity elements such as Fei flame, emerald stone and black rock steel is the cabbage in the vegetable market? Do you want it? Even the blue crystal in his hand was collected and concealed by him. If he could take something of this level as a gift, he would now be one of the presidents of the top ten chambers of Commerce!
"Well, Lord Sean..." however, even if he tried to curse Sean, the special envoy still didn't have the courage, and the continuous sweat on his forehead clearly showed his panic at this time. The smile on his face even turned into a local twitch of some facial muscles, "... This kind of gem is not easy to find, I'm afraid there won't be any inventory in the trade capital... "
"It seems that the misunderstanding between us is still very deep." Sean shook his head reluctantly, "forget it, since you are not sincere, then I am not reluctant You'd better leave. I still have a lot of things to deal with. I'll forgive me for not giving it away. "
"Lord Sean..." the special envoy didn't expect Sean's face to change. He smiled one second ago. This second seemed like he didn't know him. "What can we discuss slowly. You should also know that I really don't have the authority to extract element crystals at the level of scarlet flame, emerald stone and black rock steel. Even the blue crystal you just took away is unintentionally obtained by me and hasn't been sent to the trade capital. "
"Oh." Sean raised his eyebrows. "Your name hasn't been asked, special envoy."
As soon as he saw Sean raising his eyebrows, the special envoy knew it would be worse, but he had to open his mouth and answer, "you'd better call me lodsk, Lord Sean."
Sure enough, Sean soon opened his mouth again and said, "lodsk, you know, in fact, I'm very talkative. Since there is no crimson flame, emerald stone and black rock steel, it doesn't matter But you know, I just finished a war. Now my territory is in a situation of waste waiting for prosperity. I really need some materials. Well, you can just give me rations for the whole territory for three years. Oh, by the way, this force must also be well replenished. Let's have another 100000 slaves. In addition, the destruction caused by the war makes many parts of my territory need to be repaired and rebuilt. Just provide a few more batches of craftsmen and these building materials. "
Hearing Sean's lion's big mouth, lodsk was completely dumbfounded: "Shaw... Lord Sean, this... This, you want my life."
"The Duke is still involved in many affairs, so he won't accompany you." Sean said with a righteous face, then stood up and left directly. Obviously, he didn't mean to continue talking at all.
In this way, lodsk was completely worried: "Lord Sean, don't go. We can still discuss these things. Otherwise, please give me another day or two. I'll go back and ask. After all, what you said involves a lot. I... I can't be the master."
"It doesn't matter, Mr. lodsk. I've said it. I'm very talkative." Sean looked back with a smile. "Then I'll wait for your good news."
Looking at Sean's face changing so freely, lodesk really wanted to paste Sean's face: what kind of NIMA's good speech!? It's the overlord clause!
Even the worst kind of gold coin can buy several slaves, and 100000 slaves are no less than 30000 pan continental gold coins, which is the cheapest on Sean's list. To provide the three-year rations of all the people in Sean's entire empty collar, the cost would not be less than one million pan continental gold coins.
However, compared with the last post-war reconstruction work, the ration worth one million gold coins doesn't matter at all. Because the post-war territorial reconstruction is a really bottomless expense, especially the scale of Sean's empty collar is so large that people are surprised: only tingqi, as one of the key care areas of the war, can't be completed without more than 300000 pan continental gold coins. If you include the labor cost of craftsmen, At least 500000 pan continental gold coins.
And this is just a tinker collar.
In the back, there are more tragic chilav, berbis and yadby in the war coverage area.
The budget estimate for post-war reconstruction alone will never be less than 5 million pan continental gold coins.
However, in the eyes of people who really know the business, the actual cost is usually about 20% to 30% higher than the budget evaluation.
Almost no need to report back. Lodsk knew that the headquarters of the trade capital would not allow Sean to speak up. After all, the value of the materials looted in the gray shadow black market was not much lower than the budget evaluation of post-war reconstruction. Even if they were sold again at some time.
But lodsk also knew that if he did not agree to the sky high price of the empty Duke, he would never be able to pay the job.
Therefore, lodsk really doesn't know where Sean's "good talking" is reflected.
