Chapter 515 Negotiation, the ousted Demon Soul Tribe Lord!
The guests at the banquet were said to be from the top ten exchanges, but there were far more than ten people sitting in the middle hall.
At a glance, there were at least more than thirty people, and the formation was extremely huge.
At this time, some people sitting in the center could still hold back their composure and watched coldly as Somo entered step by step.
But those sitting on the outer edge are not so patient.
They stood up one after another and uttered some harmless words of condemnation.
I want to stop Soma from behaving so rudely.
However.
When the smoke dispersed, Somo's entire figure appeared, with a frightening murderous intent in his eyes.
These people seemed to have been choked by someone, and fell silent instantly.
“As expected of one of the top ten exchanges, it’s so prestigious!”
"I think this Liberty City won't be called Liberty from now on. Let's just call it Shifang City. What do you think?"
He walked out carelessly.
Scanning from the first person's face to the last person's face, Sumo showed a hint of ferocity.
Compared with these people's meaningless rebuke, his words were heart-breaking words of "treason and injustice".
Naturally, the lethality is no longer on the same level.
"Hal, we invite you here with sincerity. At this time, you must know better than us what kind of situation you will face in the future."
"I know you can come here, and I have guessed what we want to discuss with you. Don't worry, whether you agree or disagree today, we will help you pay off your debt."
"Just think of it as an apology for the rudeness just now!"
Hal and Turner's loan still amounts to nearly fifty thousand.
One day ago, for the two of them, this figure was an astronomical sum that was unimaginable and even cost them their lives.
In order to repay the loan, they even took the risk of being discovered by the depression and went all out to collect information.
But unfortunately, the dead Hal will never know.
Just one day passed, and it seemed that ordinary people would not be able to repay this amount in a lifetime, but they were actually compensated in the form of an apology.
Of course, he won't know either.
When your strength reaches a certain level, whether it’s money or contribution points, it’s just a number.
Hal today.
In the eyes of these people, the value is far higher than this number, even ten times this number.
This resulted in the current results.
"Very good. I feel everyone's sincerity. I, Hal, am also a reasonable person."
"As for the purpose of coming today, whether the negotiation can be successful depends on whether everyone is as sincere as now!"
In the imprint, news of loan erasure has come.
The fifth-level thorn tree man cards, houses, and other bits and pieces that were pledged earlier no longer have the word mortgage in brackets.
Seeing a smile on Somo's face, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and quickly instructed others to make way for Somo to enter the middle of the "encirclement".
He hung the hammer behind his back and sat down with his golden sword.
As the person who spoke before coughed again, the idle people in the venue began to slowly retreat, and finally only thirteen people were left with Somo.
"Hal, let me introduce myself first. I am the owner of the Skydome Exchange, the exchange with the highest turnover in Liberty City, Leivos."
"Who is this"
From left to right, Leivos began to introduce the strangers in an orderly manner.
It can be seen that the ranking of the top ten exchanges is not randomly ranked.
Starting from the third person, everyone named by Leivos will laugh sarcastically, and starting from the seventh person, they will stand up to show respect.
In this.
Sumo mainly remembered the information of three exchanges.
The Sky Exchange, located in the first place, is mainly responsible for templates and resource transactions, firmly controlling the two most important categories in Liberty City.
The Demonic Exchange, located in the third place, mainly deals with weapons, armor and other military supplies. As long as the New World is not unified for a day, there will be no shortage of large orders.
And the ninth one, Maha Exchange.
Compared to the previous ones, this ninth one doesn't seem to have much strength, and its development potential is not that good either.
But it is in charge of what Somo considers to be extremely important.
Exotic!
In their exchange, they not only sell some weird private collections of other races, but also some technological items that were found in underground ruins.
Because of their reserves, their turnover is not high and they rank ninth.
But in terms of strength, there is no way that Maharashtra Exchange can sit firmly in the top five!
"Shop Manager Leivos, where are these three? I don't want to introduce them!"
Seeing Leivos about to sit down after introducing him as a person from the exchange, Somo smiled and passed his hand across the three of them seemingly unintentionally.
Compared with the ten "big guys" here.
Of these three people, two of them are high-level transformers, and their whole bodies exuded an intimidating metallic sheen.
As for the other one, he looked like a standard human being, with a round face and no distinguishing features.
"Oh, I forgot about that!"
"This is the manager in charge of developing our external channels, Stone Ninja."
"These two are the managers of our branch in Guangming City. They are responsible for selling and purchasing some specialties that we cannot buy."
The faces of the two transformed people were covered in a hazy light, making it difficult to see what their faces underneath looked like.
The stone ninja who was in charge of external channels was more straightforward.
Seeing Su Mo look over, he nodded kindly like others.
"There are also external channels, which are good and good. We in Liberty City should really vigorously develop external channels."
"We have the advantage of diplomacy. It is best to vigorously expand some specialties from other places. By then, we will not only improve our own strength, but also seize the opportunity in the face of disasters."
After nodding and saying hello, Somo almost instantly withdrew his eyes and looked at Leivos.
If an acquaintance were here, they would definitely be surprised to see Somo like this.
But to these strangers.
Sumo's expression is very much like that of a "businessman" who wants to get into the topic urgently.
Therefore, as the "master", Leivos was not surprised and quickly got to the point.
"Hal, I guess the escort promised you a lot of benefits yesterday, right? You must know that they want to take back the pricing power of our top ten and put it under their own management."
"But they forgot that their military expenses, equipment expenses, including templates are all provided by our exchange. If they take all of them, it will mean nothing to us!"
As soon as he came up, Leivos opened his mouth to bombard him, not caring that his words would spread.
And these words happened to be the thoughts of everyone here. Once they were said, they all nodded.
"Hal, the conditions they give you, our top ten exchanges can also give you."
"In the past, your business mind was buried among the ranks of ordinary people. It was indeed a big loss."
"But now, we are willing to admit you into the top ten, making you the eleventh exchange with pricing power in Liberty City, and among all categories, we can also give you a third-level category, and others
It will give you great convenience in this third-level category.”
"As long as you agree to stand in a neutral position at the critical moment and put aside the requirements of the escort for the time being, we can complete everything else!"
I finally figured out some of Somo's temper.
In his words, Leivos spoke very simply, directly stating everyone's requirements and the conditions that would be given.
Compared with the official one.
The top ten exchanges have indeed spent a lot of money, not only dividing their rights, but also reluctantly cutting off a piece of meat and giving away the chicken that can lay unlimited eggs.
However, sitting in the center of the crowd's attention.
Sumo didn't show any emotional expression on his face.
On the contrary, he still maintained the same smile as before, and there was no sign of any ups and downs in his mood.
Half a moment.
It wasn't until the atmosphere became slightly depressed that he slowly spoke:
"Neutral position? There is nothing neutral or neutral in this free city. It is nothing more than an exchange and compromise of interests."
"The Guards want to take back their rights, and everyone wants to protect their own interests. In this natural conflict, how can I, Hal, sit firmly in the neutral position?"
"However, since Shopkeeper Leivos said this today, it seems that he wants to force me Hal to join the team today. Why, you are not afraid that the escort team will lose me Hal and find Shuer, Moore, and Huer.
come out?"
I didn't agree, and I didn't refuse in a hurry.
Hitting the back of his left hand with his right hand, Somo's words were delivered in an unhurried and unhurried manner, accurately reaching everyone's ears.
It's the same as Somo said.
The current situation is not at odds with each other. It is very possible that this is just a small test by the escort team.
Even if the Xinhuo Exchange is gone and Hal is gone, the Guards can still use the same method to create a brand new exchange, a brand new "Hal".
Then when the time comes, I want to break the situation.
Unless it is the same as now, some benefits are once again divided and given to new people to draw them into the camp.
Otherwise, there will be no possibility of long-term resistance to the authorities.
"No, Hal, you are wrong. You underestimate your influence and talent."
"There will never be another freak like you in this city. With all due respect, your marketing method today is simply unbelievable."
"We don't need to break up with the escort for a long time, as long as half a year, no, only three months, as long as we can maintain the current situation until three months later."
"At that time, I believe the guards will know exactly what is right and what is wrong!"
Pointing to the door, he pointed to the mark on his neck.
Leivos didn't finish the second half of his sentence, obviously he had something to hide.
Seeing this, Sumo was not surprised. He nodded calmly and immersed himself in thinking.
"You mean there will be an accident in three months?"
Leivos: "Yes! It affects the entire continent!"
"Then how can you guarantee that they will not use coercive force to demand us?"
Leivos immediately shook his head: "You can rest assured about this. We need the escort team, and the escort team also needs us. No one will kill them all. This is not in the interest."
"Anyone can be missing from this city, but we, the merchants who maintain the market, and the escorts who maintain the force cannot be missing."
"You underestimate our real influence in the city!"
After speaking, Leivos subconsciously looked at the expressions on other people's faces.
What he saw on Somo's face was still a calm smile.
What can be seen on the faces of other traders are nods of approval and affirmation.
As for the manager in charge of external channels, as well as the two shopkeepers from the Guangming City branch, they also had similar approval on their faces.
No one refuted his words.
Everyone also understood what he said.
Liberty City only needs the Chamber of Commerce and the Guards, the others, even the so-called lords, have to step aside!
In the face of capital, only violence can compete with it!
"What you said does make sense."
"But I want to hear what Manager Shi has to say."
"How about you analyze the current situation in Liberty City from an external perspective, so that we, the authorities, will not be confused and the onlookers will be clear."
Nod.
The first half of the sentence affirmed Leivos's wonderful performance, but in the second half of the sentence, Somo suddenly changed the subject and directed it to the stone ninja who had no sense of existence.
At this moment, everyone's eyes suddenly changed their angle and suddenly focused on the face of the stone ninja.
"Haha, Master Hal seems to want to test me, so I will show my shame today and talk about my thoughts."
Being stared at by everyone.
The stone ninja trembled with a smile on his face, looking slightly nervous.
Then, just like Leivos said just now, the stone ninja basically summarized everyone's thoughts and did not put forward any innovative suggestions.
From the future development trend of Liberty City to the importance of the top ten exchanges.
In the future, when trade routes in the New World are opened, Liberty City will have its location advantage.
Seeing that Soma was still staring directly at him, the stone ninja was not afraid and kept talking like a barrage of firecrackers.
"Okay, Stone Ninja, everyone understands what you mean."
"Let Hal make a choice now."
Hearing that this stone ninja was going to talk about the earth-shaking changes that would happen to Liberty City in two years, everyone present could not help but feel dizzy.
The next moment, after Leivos interrupted forcefully, everyone's attention shifted again and came to Somo sitting in the center.
Until now.
The situation has changed subtly again.
Sumo did not forcefully reject everyone's proposals, nor did he directly agree.
But in the eyes of these people, not refusing means there is room for maneuver.
As for the space, it is just the size of the price paid.
There are no high-level experts in the Xinhuo Exchange. As long as you get through this level, the benefits that everyone has handed over can be recovered in the end.
It's just like a loan, it just changed hands and lost some liquidity.
"Let me think about it for a few days. This matter is very important and I have to discuss it with my brother Turner."
"How about we wait until we have discussed it before I get back to you?"
He didn't agree directly, but he saw that Sumo was already tempted.
The businessmen present did not pursue him fiercely, but instead all breathed a sigh of relief.
"So good!"
There was no betrayal in person.
Leivos had a little satisfaction on his face.
Then, as he clapped his hands, the fox girls who had already been ambushing the door began to carry the plates with food in an orderly manner.
Tables were also moved one by one by a mountain of strong men and placed in the center to provide food.
I kept eating for more than an hour.
After the guests and hosts had enjoyed themselves, everyone reluctantly got up and sent Somo out with a smile on his face.
Compared with when we came here, after a face-to-face communication, the "emotion" between everyone was much better.
Even some of the actors with more exaggerated acting skills reluctantly tried to persuade them to stay.
"I will think about it carefully when I go back."
"Think clearly, I will give you an answer as soon as possible!"
After shrugging and nodding goodbye to everyone, Somo slowly walked out of the courtyard gate.
The sun sets in the west.
The remaining light shone on Liberty City, covering most buildings with a golden glow.
After walking to the end of the street corner and making sure that no one at the main entrance of the courtyard could see him, Sumo turned his head and took a deep look at this unique antique building.
"Interesting, I didn't expect that the first lord I met in the New World would be in such a situation."
"However, it is unprecedented to be ignored by one of our own people to such an extent."
Only in the morning did I hear the voice of the demon soul clan lord in the sound of the wind.
did not expect.
In the afternoon, as soon as Somo entered the door, he heard a sound similar to it.
During this period, in order to ensure the identity of the other party, Sumo even took the risk of letting the other party speak, opened the system panel to play synchronously, and completed the confirmation again.
"From this point of view, I'm afraid that the power of this escort team is not in the hands of this stone ninja, otherwise he would not be so humiliated and bear the burden and associate with these ordinary businessmen."
"It's interesting, it's really interesting. In order to defend their rights, the merchants turned against the guards. The lord wanted to use the merchants' hands to kill people with a knife and take back his control of the city to promote reform. So."
"This escort, what do they want?"
Unlike these people who have completely fallen into the vortex.
Even now, Sumo is still considering the relationship between everyone as an outsider.
Half a moment.
He didn't raise his head until the Xinhuo Exchange appeared at the end of his sight.
And, an idea so bold that it makes people tremble.
As Somo's smile reappeared, it suddenly appeared in his mind!
