Volume 4 Chapter 194 Meiko Nosuke
Among the five counties in the central region, the other four counties are a whole, but this Bintu County is a little special.
A long time ago, Bintu County was also a whole, but since the leader left and never returned, following his instructions, all major and minor affairs are jointly managed by the city lords of the seven major cities. Unless one day, someone comes with the leader's token, then The person is the successor designated by the leader, but before that, the city lords of the seven major cities sit on an equal footing and discuss and manage together.
The leader of Bintu County has a very high prestige. Not only the city lords of the first seven major cities were promoted by him, but also the leaders of the other four counties were more or less favored by him. However, the leader of Bintu County is a martial arts fanatic who is more enthusiastic about studying some mysterious and mysterious things. Moreover, this leader also has a certain connection with the previous dynasty. If he had not left and never returned, would Qin Pingzong have been able to do so? To overthrow the forces of the previous dynasty in one fell swoop requires two explanations.
The leader of Bintu County did not leave without saying goodbye. Instead, he made many arrangements before leaving. In addition to letting the seven city lords discuss and manage Bintu County together, the most important thing was to leave a connecting person behind. Keepsake.
This token was a jade pendant, but it was divided into eight pieces. Seven pieces were given to the seven city lords for safekeeping, while the center piece was taken away by himself. He left a letter saying that once someone comes with a token, that person will be his chosen successor.
Therefore, the position of leader of Bintu County has been vacant for a long time, and the token has never appeared.
The seven major cities of Bintu County, from west to east, are Qincheng, Tangcheng, Songcheng, Hancheng, Yuancheng, Mingcheng and Qingcheng. Hancheng is in the middle and is also the permanent residence of the leaders of Bintu County. The leader's palace is still there. It has been kept in perfect condition.
"City Lord Jiang..."
Meiko suddenly said: "As far as I know, the construction of Daojian Base, including the extension of the outer city wall, will be borne by Daojian. The original agreement also stated that Daojian will not participate in any economy in Seoul in the future. activities, and also provides a certain amount of rent to the City Lord’s Mansion every year, I wonder if it is true?”
"It is indeed true. What do you think, Miss Miko?"
On the way here, Lao Gu and Lao Li explained to Meiko in detail the difficulties currently encountered in the construction of the Daojian base. After all, she is a member of Daojian, and they also hope that she can participate.
"Takami doesn't matter. If City Lord Jiang doesn't mind Meiko's nonsense, Meiko does have some ideas." Meiko looked at City Lord Jiang and said with a slight smile.
City Lord Jiang looked at Lao Gu and Lao Li and saw that they were calm as usual. He knew the importance of the woman opposite them in their hearts. He thought that the conflict had not been resolved for a long time. They wanted to find another way to negotiate with him. What should they say? They happened to meet each other by chance, maybe they did it on purpose. Then, he slowly turned his eyes to Meiko and said with a smile: "Miss Meiko, please tell me."
"Actually, a long time ago, I heard Brother Bai talk about the east side of Seoul. It has been abandoned for nearly twenty years, but Brother Bai did not bargain with you for this reason, and still paid enough sincerity. The east side of the city has been developed again. Although the owner has changed, it is undoubtedly not a good thing for the entire Seoul. City Lord Jiang should also be able to feel it. Since then, the atmosphere near the east side of the city has gradually become more active, sweeping away the past. Haze, this is of great significance to the development of Seoul."
"When it comes to the development of outer cities, I don't dare to make decisions for Brother Bai. I just say
To tell my opinion, everything still needs to be decided by City Master Jiang and the two gentlemen. To be honest, the conditions proposed by City Master Jiang can still be tolerated. However, doing business is about a win-win situation. If you only focus on the present, only focus on the present, and the interests are one-sided, it will be detrimental to future cooperation. Besides, if Knife Point's previous efforts were placed elsewhere, many city lords would surely flock to it. Moreover, we are willing to bear all the reconstruction costs, which also includes the construction of the outer city wall. "
"When it comes to the construction of the outer city wall, it is also based on the overall consideration of Seoul. Otherwise, for the Blade Base, this cost can be taken off. City Lord Jiang, do you think so?"
"Miss Miko is eloquent and what she says makes sense. However, I also have my own difficulties."
"The seven major cities are jointly discussed and managed, but in Seoul, City Lord Jiang must still make the decision. Meiko dares to say that the reason why the other six city lords are obstructing them in every possible way is just because of jealousy. Even if City Lord Jiang is arbitrary, If you don't give them soup, I'm sorry they can't say anything. City Lord Jiang is adhering to the legacy of the leader of Bintu County and advancing and retreating together with the other six city Lords. This is a manifestation of your great benevolence and righteousness, and is worthy of Miko's admiration."
"But Lord Jiang, the construction of the Daojian base is ultimately a matter between Daojian, Seoul and City Lord Jiang. We are neither seeking power nor profit. We just want to give Daojian a home. . Now that the land fees and all compensation have been paid, Daojian and Seoul should have shaken hands and cooperated long ago, and should not be delayed in making a decision due to some reasons."
"This..." City Lord Jiang looked confused.
"Of course, we won't make it too difficult for City Lord Jiang. Today, I dare to make a decision for Brother Bai. Let's do this. According to what we discussed before, we will settle all the unpaid fees in a short time. Let's make a rule. As far as the land area is concerned, all construction costs including the outer city wall will be borne by us. I heard that City Lord Jiang also wanted to take this opportunity to extend the south and north walls of Seoul by 500 meters. We will also cover this matter. Not only did they provide people, but they also provided money. In addition, on the basis of the originally proposed amount, the tip of the knife will be increased by another 10%, which can be regarded as providing some help to City Lord Jiang in easing the conflicts between him and the other six City Lords."
"City Lord Jiang, what do you think of Meiko's proposals?"
After saying that, Meiko stared at City Lord Jiang intently.
"Lao Gu, Lao Li, is this also your opinion?"
City Lord Jiang did not doubt Meiko's identity, but he still couldn't help but ask Lao Gu and Lao Li. After all, the fee proposed by Dao Jian was very considerable. An increase of 10% on this basis would be huge, not to mention, The north and south city walls extend outward for 500 meters, which is no small project.
"This is not our opinion..." Lao Li, who had been silent until now, said first: "However, as a member of the Blade's Edge, Miss Meiko has the right to make any decision. What Miss Meiko just said, although a little biased, is more like It’s just for the sake of City Lord Jiang, but we can still accept such a price, all because City Lord Jiang is a friend worthy of our friendship.”
"City Master Jiang, since the words have come to this, I will also express my position. As long as you agree, I won't say anything more." Lao Gu took over.
City Lord Jiang was a little excited and couldn't help but glance at Deputy City Lord Wang who was silent and saw that he was slightly agitated.
Lost my mind, I don’t know what I’m thinking about.
This negotiation between the two parties actually came with a bottom line.
The difficulties mentioned by City Lord Jiang are not difficulties at all, they are just an excuse for him to seek more benefits for himself. Of course, it is true that there are some verbal disputes between him and the other six City Lords, but as Meiko said He said that hundreds of years after the Bintu County leader left, even the city owner changed several times. No matter how much they respected him, many things had changed. If he really wants to have his own way, the other six city lords really can't say anything. He looks forward and backward, and as Meiko said, he is indeed not a despicable villain.
"Okay then, it's settled."
After pretending to think for a while, City Lord Jiang finally made the decision.
"Miss Meiko is indeed an eloquent person. I just regret that you showed up a little late, otherwise, we wouldn't have to worry about this anymore. Come, cheers to our cooperation!"
"It is Meiko's honor to be able to solve Lord Jiang's problems." Meiko also raised her wine glass.
The five people's wine glasses clinked together, which meant that the negotiation, no, the date was successfully concluded.
City Lord Jiang and Deputy City Lord Wang sent the three people out of Dayuan Building. Deputy City Lord Wang whispered a few words in City Lord Jiang's ear. City Lord Jiang nodded to express his understanding, and then waved at Lao Gu, Lao Li and Meizi. He waved his hand, thinking he had something important to do, so he got in the car and left first.
"Two gentlemen, I still want to walk around." Meiko said to Lao Gu and Lao Li without getting in the car.
"Miss Meiko, I'll ask Xiao Wei to pick you up when the time comes," Lao Gu said.
"No need, I'll go back by myself while you two gentlemen walk slowly."
"Okay then! Goodbye, Miss Miko."
"Goodbye gentlemen."
Lao Gu and Lao Li were a little excited. You must know that they came with a bottom line. Of course, they did not hide it from Meiko, otherwise Meiko would not have said those words at the wine table. They did not expect that Meiko would make a fuss about the extension of the north and south walls of Seoul, but their bottom line was a full 30%. Meiko rambled here and there, and it seemed that none of the words were the key point, but it seemed that every sentence was the key point. In the end, the three of them cooperated tacitly and finally took down this difficult bone. The extension of the north and south walls of Seoul does require a huge amount of money, but compared with the 20% of the previously negotiated cost, it pales into insignificance, no, not even 10%. In this way, Meiko saved more than 10% of the cost of the knife tip, which they did not expect.
Lao Gu and Lao Li had a lot of follow-up matters to arrange. Meiko's original intention was to go out to relax, but when she heard that she didn't want to go back with them, she stopped insisting.
Meiko watched the car go away, raised her hand to brush the hair around her ears, and walked forward slowly.
Not far away, a little boy walked past her and put a paper ball into her hand. Meiko took a look at it, put the paper ball into her pocket carelessly, and continued to walk forward slowly.

After wandering around for about an hour, Meiko only bought a popular women's sun hat in a clothing store, and then continued wandering around.
It wasn't until evening that she slowly walked into an alley, looked back and forth, and saw no one around, then she gently knocked on one of the doors.
Here is the address written on the note.
