At the diplomatic level, there is no such thing as good guys or bad guys, and there is no so-called right or wrong.
Both parties in the negotiation have only one ultimate goal, which is to try to maximize the benefits for themselves.
This kind of war of words is a game of wisdom. It depends on which side has a longer-term vision.
For now, the purpose of Franji is relatively straightforward, which is to simply seek wealth and make money.
But Qi Yu's thoughts were in another dimension. In addition to the indispensable profit, he also wanted to take this opportunity to earn something more valuable than money.
what?
Opportunity!
Let’s talk about the present first.
Although Andre's tone when he saw Qi Yu was tough, the flow of words was not completely blocked.
What he just said was, "Francis is not willing to accept the money given to him for free," but he did not explicitly state that the two parties would never have any contact with each other. The rhetoric in this is worthy of careful consideration.
He believes that there is nothing wrong with adding more temptation.
"Master Qi, we are willing to pay a better price to buy Qiongzhou's products..."
"It's not enough to have a beautiful price. I think you should show greater sincerity!"
"Bigger one? Mr. Qi, stop hiding it. If you have any conditions, just tell me!"
"Mr. An is not only refreshing, but also very knowledgeable!"
Qi Yu laughed and said with seeming determination: "If you want to establish diplomatic relations with me, Qiongzhou, you must agree to two conditions. Otherwise, your trip will be in vain."
Andre also smiled and said: "I often hear Chinese businessmen say that if you ask for a high price, you should pay it back on the spot! Now, let me hear your asking price!"
As for Qi Yu's acting style, this ghost guy is very clear about when he can be more serious and when he shouldn't be more serious. He has a lot of experience.
Of course, his experience was tempered from many previous encounters and was not just blind speculation.
If you capsize in the gutter a lot, you will naturally have a longer memory.
Qi Yu started his offer, "Ahem! The Nanyang War unilaterally initiated by your country caused huge casualties to Qiongzhou, and the economic losses were immeasurable. If so, your country is willing to pay some
If the pension is used as compensation, this matter will be over."
"In addition, your country must completely cut off its arms supply to Fusang and no longer support Sarawak in any form."
When Andre heard this, he was stunned for a moment.
He never expected that Qi Yu would offer such weird conditions.
"I tell you, Mr. Qi, your asking price is too high!"
"Is it very high? I don't think so!"
"You have to give in more or less, otherwise, how can I do my job when I go back?"
Huh?
From what I heard, it seemed like there was a way!
Immediately, Qi Yu showed a considerate expression, oh no, a considerate expression, with a hint of playfulness: "Since Mr. An is under such great pressure, how can I suppress it forcefully? I don't understand."
Where’s the style?”
After laughing, he made a direct statement, saying: "The military aid to Fuso and support for Sarawak must stop. This is a matter of principle and cannot be discussed! The only thing that can be compromised is the compensation.
For the sake of our long-standing friendship, I will only charge you one tael of silver for a fallen soldier."
One tael of silver?
Darling, you are indeed affectionate!
Andre was secretly happy, but also felt a little weird.
From a geopolitical point of view, both Fusang and Sarawak are neighboring countries of Dafeng, and it is indeed reasonable to resist them.
However, Dafeng is a powerful country, is it necessary to be so fearful and vigilant?
What is even more incomprehensible is why Mr. Qi insists on collecting this tael of silver as compensation?
This little money is not enough to fill Qiongzhou's finances.
However, for our own side, this is undoubtedly a good thing, and it is better to save a little!
However, for Qi Yu, these three things are all important matters.
Needless to say, the significance of cutting off Fusang’s military supply will definitely benefit Dafengguo.
As for the extortion of compensation, it is also unambiguous. The purpose is not to be greedy for money, but to show the world a so-called gesture: Look, the Francois bowed their heads to our great Fengguo and paid compensation!
This kind of impact is no less than a military victory. Although the money is not much, it can clearly illustrate the problem.
Among the three, the most meaningful one is to stop supporting Sarawak.
Nowadays, Sarawak's political scene has just stabilized, and Leng Qing's plan to steal the country has just been launched. This time, in order to better win over people's hearts, a potato war with Java was specially brewed.
It can be seen that the sacrifice is not small!
However, there are still a large number of pro-France politicians in Sarawak. Once they encounter a suitable opportunity, they will come out and take two steps, bringing hidden worries to the stable current situation.
If their godfather Franco publicly stated that he would never recognize his godson again, do you think those people would give up?
The answer is yes!
Their last remaining hope of "restoring the country" has been dashed, so what else can they hold on to?
The above is the real mystery of this diplomacy.
As for whether they would sincerely date each other in the future, or whether they would be superficial and conciliatory, Qi Yu had his own thoughts in his heart.
At worst, the birds will be hidden and the rabbits will die and the dogs will be cooked.
After the production team's donkeys have finished pulling and grinding, what's the harm in killing them for meat?
However, Andre did not realize the connotation.
Under Qi Yu's nonsense, he agreed reluctantly but wholeheartedly.
However, there are still many details that need to be negotiated, and it is difficult to reach a written consensus at once.
Qi Yu feels that the best way is to write a formal treaty, and then both parties sign and publicly issue a joint statement. Only in this way can it be truly finalized.
"In that case, An will draft a rough draft first, and then formally sign it after both parties have no objections."
"sure, no problem!"
In this way, the two sides finalized the overall framework of diplomacy and prepared to re-establish diplomatic relations.
All details must be written in the contract.
After Andre left, Yu Hai immediately expressed his worries: "Master Qi, these red-haired ghosts have no integrity, there is no guarantee that they will betray you in the future! Today, he can throw himself into his arms for the sake of profit, but tomorrow
, they can also find new love in the same way. This is just like the guests in Wenxiang Pavilion who started to become ruthless after coming out."
Qi Yu smiled faintly and said: "Master Yu is overthinking! It's too early to discuss who is the fan and who is the prostitute! Haha, let's just wait and see!"
