From the perspective of the purpose of the negotiations between the two parties, the prisoner of war Clark is the core, and everything else is irrelevant. In other words, the debate just now was a serious digression.
What? Off topic?
Wouldn’t that be a complete nonsense?
Not really!
From a diplomatic perspective, bullshit is an art and a required course. Let’s put it this way, anyone who can bullshit will basically have the upper hand in communication. As for the party who is not good at bullshit,
, you can only follow the opponent's rhythm.
Take the dispute just now, Andre's intention was not to discuss the war in Luzon, but to suppress Qi Yu with a bully and tough attitude, and to use this to redeem Clark by adding more political power.
chips.
Can communication still be like this?
Yes.
If you are really intimidated, you will most likely make concessions and gain practical benefits.
But this time, Andre was self-defeating.
You see, not only did he fail to defeat the opponent in one fell swoop, but he also lost a companion because of his improper pretense. It was really not worth the loss!
However, this matter has been settled, so there is no need to dwell on it anymore. Next, let’s think carefully about how to negotiate.
Qi Yu looked calm and relaxed, sipping tea leisurely there, as if he valued harmony.
Seeing his kind face, Andre couldn't help but feel relieved, and then he asked tentatively: "Master Qi, how do you think Clark's work of facing the wall and thinking about his mistakes has been completed?"
The implication is, can we release him now?
In this regard, Qi Yu neither nodded in agreement nor shook his head in refusal, but said meaningfully: "Mr. An, in our famous sayings in China, there is a saying that once you know your mistakes, you can correct them, and there is no great good; therefore, for those who have
For those who are willing to change their ways, I basically agree to be released on bail pending trial."
Out on bail pending trial?
What does this mean?
Andre looked confused when he heard this, and shook his head to show that he was confused.
Don't you understand?
Qi Yu chuckled, and then made a very vivid gesture of taking out money that is common all over the world.
ah……
Understood……
Although he had known the result would be like this, Andre still felt a little uncomfortable.
Also, whoever it is, would not want to be blackmailed by the same person twice.
"Mr. An, in addition to 'harmony is the most precious', have you ever heard of our Chinese saying 'harmony brings wealth'?" Qi Yu's eyes flashed quietly and he asked.
What was unexpected was that this question really stopped Andre.
In fact, he really didn't know much about this word.
It’s okay if you don’t understand, let’s explain.
Popularizing knowledge is our glorious tradition in China, and it is like being a role model for others.
Therefore, Qi Yu shared his understanding and said: "The meaning of harmony and wealth is that once you have harmony, you must follow it to generate wealth. If you don't get the corresponding benefits, why do you need this kindness?"
If you just read it literally, it seems that it really means that, but if you interpret it carefully, you feel that something is wrong.
Forget it, no matter what it means, as long as Clark can be rescued, the mission of this trip will be completed.
Haha, don’t you just want money?
I give you!
"Master Qi, you are also a cheerful person. Please give me a price."
"Haha, I won't ask you for more. One hundred thousand catties of gold is just what I need."
One hundred thousand catties?
Waterfall sweat!
Why don't you go and grab it?
However, Andre, who had gone through the last negotiation, already had some experience in dealing with it, and was no longer as panicked as he was at the beginning.
Haha, you ask for an exorbitant price, I will pay you back on the spot.
So, Andre shook his head and said: "Master Qi, to tell you the truth, I really don't have that much money..."
Before he could finish his words, Qi Yu interrupted: "Let's not go off topic. Just tell me how much you can give me."
"Uh... up to 30,000 kilograms."
Huh? That’s it?
I do not believe!
Qi Yu's face tightened and he said: "Thirty thousand kilograms is too little! To tell you the truth, the battle in Sarawak cost me dozens of baskets of ammunition. If we add in the supplies, money and food consumed on the way,
It can be said to be a huge number! What are you doing, do you still have to recover some losses for me? "
What?
You...this is fighting to support war!
Andre grinded his teeth angrily, but still made a concession: "Forty thousand kilograms at most, no more."
"Haha, I ask for 100,000 jins, and you bid 40,000 jins. The difference between the two is not big. Alternatively, let's pick a middle number, how about 80,000 jins?" Qi Yu said seemingly sincerely.
Is this your middle number?
How is the account settled?
Andre pretended not to understand, but still said with a grimace: "Master Qi, I really don't have that much, let's do this, I will pay 42,000 catties, what do you think?"
Qi Yu shook his head decisively and said: "Of course not! Well, let's do this. I'll take another step back, 60,000!"
"No!"
"No?"
No problem!
Qi Dalang chuckled, silently stretched his hand to his waist, and then suddenly pulled out the pistol and placed it heavily on the table.
what does this mean?
Suddenly!
A horrifying incident from the past came to mind.
I still remember that during the last negotiation, Qi Yu used this attitude to kill the prisoners of war. In the end, he had no choice but to bow his head and submit.
"Do you think Clark's head is strong enough?"
"ah……"
Upon hearing this, Andrei immediately changed his attitude, and in an instant, he became extremely wealthy.
finally!
Qi Yu received the full ransom as he wished, and released the starving Clark on the spot.
…
As the saying goes, people feel refreshed when happy events occur.
It's true, Qi Dalang is like this today.
You see, not long after landing, we successfully blackmailed a huge sum of money. How can it not make people excited?
How passionate?
The answer lies in Liu Quan's satisfied smile.
After waiting for a long time, I finally waited until today, and after enduring for a long time, my dream finally came true...
Qi Yu, who had accumulated a lot of experience, performed beyond his level. It was not until the sunset that he completed 60% of the familiar postures he had unlocked.
In this regard, he specifically explained that the remaining 40% should wait until the evening and try again, and don't use it all at once.
According to his words, this is like the traditional tea ceremony. Never empty out the best one at once. You must leave some aftertaste for the next brew. Only in this way can the deliciousness continue.
Liu Quan also knew a little bit about the tea ceremony.
You must know that his father Liu Shouye was a tea drinker. Under his influence, even if he could not learn Samadhi, he could still understand it somewhat.
She gently pushed her husband's head away and said, "Ms. sir, we have a can of good tea at home. It is said to be Dahongpao tea produced in Wuyi Mountain. Well, do you want me to brew it for you to try?"
This is a famous tea in the world, so naturally I want to try it.
After Qi Yu nodded, he couldn't help but ask: "I wonder who sent this tea?"
Liu Quan replied: "It's my sister-in-law, Mrs. Huang."
