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, and that 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, Franji's purpose 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 make it clear that the two parties would never interact with each other until death. 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 say it directly!"
"Mr. An is not only refreshing, but also very revealing!"
Qi Yu laughed and said with seeming determination: "If you want to establish diplomatic relations with 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! But now, let me hear your asking price!"
This ghost guy is very clear about Qi Yu's acting style. He knows when to be more serious and when not to be more serious.
Of course, his experience was tempered from many previous encounters and was not just a blind guess.
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 you are 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.
"Master 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 so much 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 old friends, 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 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’s worth saving a little!
However, for Qi Yu, these three things are all important matters.
Needless to say, the significance of cutting off Fuso'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 begun. 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 within Sarawak. Once they encounter a suitable opportunity, they will run out and take two steps, bringing hidden worries to the stable situation.
If their godfather Franji 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 "restoration" has been shattered, 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 for the sake of face, Qi Yu had his own thoughts in his mind.
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 without any distractions.
However, there are still many details that need to be negotiated, and it is difficult to reach a written consensus for a while.
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 determined.
"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 general 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 loves 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!"
