As the first student in Kassel's history to negotiate conditions with the principal since the school was founded, Gu Bei's sense of proportion was just right.
The three conditions he proposed just hit Angers' bottom line. They were unlikely to be fully agreed, but there was still room for negotiation.
It would not be possible for Angers to directly veto the conditions as soon as he heard them.
And this was exactly what Gu Bei wanted.
Asking for prices all over the place and paying back the money on the ground is the norm when talking about business.
If Ange opened his mouth and agreed, Gu Bei would feel that this guy had bad intentions.
Moreover, in fact, the price offered by Gu Bei was not high, but a few of them were out of line.
And Ange, whose life experience is obviously higher than Gu Bei's, can naturally understand what Gu Bei's three conditions mean.
The first one is that magic can be taught to students in Kassel, but it cannot be obtained by secret parties and mixed-race families.
This is considered the basic condition and the bottom line proposed by Gu Bei.
If a consensus cannot be reached on this point, then the negotiation between the two has completely broken down.
But Angers has no problem with this.
To be honest, leaving aside the members of the secret party, Angers himself did not want the mixed-race family forces to obtain the magic.
Outside the Celestial Dynasty, the main force in slaying dragons is always the secret party rather than the family forces. Those guys wrapped in corpses have never even seen what a dragon looks like. They study every day how to gain more benefits and master more. Much power.
Allowing them to obtain different skills is equivalent to allowing the national football team to obtain Messi, Ronaldo, and the world's best player Pele.
It can only be described in four words: a waste of natural resources.
Let them get the magic, it is better to let the magic fall into the hands of the secret party members, at least they can kill a few more dragons.
However, most members of the secret party also have family support behind them, and giving to them is no different from giving to the family.
Gu Bei proposed that refusing to allow members of the secret party and family forces to learn magic would be tantamount to cutting off the channels for Western countries to obtain magic in various forms.
Although it is a pity that the Secret Party cannot learn, even if it can only allow students in the academy to learn, it is still a profit.
But there is a problem in Angers.
Many of the students in the academy were from families. If the magic was leaked through this channel, Gu Bei's work would be in vain.
Once the magic is leaked, it will be a mixed news for Angers.
The good thing is that more people have mastered the magic, and people have stronger and more diverse powers, and they are more sure of killing the Dragon King.
The worst thing is that the family forces may ban the secret party and become a stumbling block on the road to slaying the dragon in Angers.
So this is critical.
He thought so, so he naturally asked.
After hearing his question, Gu Bei showed a meaningful expression: "Of course I have my own solution."
Just kidding, they are all students taught by me "personally", so I can't leave any tricks behind.
Before starting to study, let’s leave the restrictions one by one.
Now Gu Beixia's restraint methods are becoming more and more proficient, thanks to the 1,300 middle- and high-level employees of Nandotong, as well as regional leaders and temporary workers.
Although currently only the Northeast region of the country has temporary workers (sables).
Ange was a little confused about Gu Bei's answer.
However, although he only got an answer from Mo Hu, Ange felt relieved when he saw Gu Bei's confident look.
Since Gu Bei already had a plan in mind, there was no problem in agreeing to this condition.
Angers thought for a while, then turned on his phone and made a call.
After turning on the hands-free phone, I put it on the coffee table and was connected at the speed of light after just "clicking".
A calm female voice rang on the phone: "Hello principal, college secretary Norma, I'm glad to serve you."
"Hello Norma."
Angers remains a gentleman even when facing artificial intelligence.
When the word "Norma" came out of his mouth, Gu Bei clearly felt the phone in his pocket vibrate, then the screen lit up and light leaked out of the pocket.
With quick eyesight and quick hands, Gu Bei directly locked the screen and shut down the phone, and put the eva subroutine that he had thought of to get some fresh air back into his phone.
I can come out for air anytime, but not now.
Otherwise, if the old guy knew that he had backups of Norma and EVA, and that his authority was one of the highest except for the underlying programs, then Gu Bei probably wouldn't need to learn this.
We don’t even need this research room anymore.
If you steal the secrets of the academy, you will probably have to fight to the death with the old guy.
Although Ange saw Gu Bei's little move, he didn't think much about it. Instead, he directed Norma to work remotely: "Norma, find out the files of Gu Bei, the new student this year. The S-class encrypted one, use my permission."
"Retrieving..."
The indifferent female voice of secretary Norma is completely different from the energetic and girlish voice of Gu Bei and Fingel's backup Eva. Yu Jie is the old gentleman in front of her, but the good-for-nothing senior brother is actually an otome man.
As soon as Gu Bei's thoughts began to tumble, Norma's voice sounded over there: "Your permission has been approved, Gu Bei, December 29, 1992, gender male, number ad0012, class S, has been included in the jam List of colleges."
"Include him as a non-staff professor, and give him a separate elective course. The course name is "Abnormal Abnormality," the art of magic. He is with me now. Do I need to confirm it with him? "
"The course "Exotic Skills" has been opened separately, please confirm. "
Angers raised his head and looked at Gu Bei. Gu Bei raised his eyebrows. He felt that he was a little underestimating the old guy's determination, but it was not a loss anyway and he could still be a salary thief from Cassel, so he said decisively: "Confirm."
"It has been confirmed that the elective course "Exotic Skills" is taught by "Non-staff Professor Gu Bei". Please add the course introduction and main outline as soon as possible, and upload it to Professor Cassel's backend course selection program to facilitate students to choose new courses. Your Student performance will be related to your tenure evaluation, so please take it seriously. "
Good guy, do the professors at Cassel College also write like this?
Before Gu Bei could say anything, Ange intervened: "Okay Norma, you have nothing to do here, go and do your work."
"Yes, have a nice day, Principal."
"Goodbye, Norma."
After Angers hung up the phone, Gu Beicai looked at Angers with a half-smile: "You tied me to the chariot in Kassel in such a hurry, so the principal doesn't have any objections to my other two conditions? "
How could you have no opinion?
Let’s not talk about the third item for now, let’s just talk about the second item.
Nadutong established a branch in Kassel, and all students in Kassel who studied different arts were nominally owned by the Nadutong branch.
Listen to yourself, is this human language?
This and China trained white troops in the White House and then incorporated a division of Flying Tigers into Wolf Warriors.
This sounds outrageous.
Decades ago, the concessions were not so ruthless. After all, the troops stationed in the concessions were still soldiers of the country.
To be honest, Gu Bei's condition didn't feel like a condition, but more like a joke.
But Gu Bei was serious.
Angers knew it, but he also knew that there was room for negotiation.
Otherwise, he would not have made Gu Bei his "one of his own" in a resolute manner after negotiating the first condition.
Because he could see that among the three conditions, only the first was the most important, and the other two were just additional conditions.
"Kassel will not allow any organization to establish a branch on campus. Nadutong can choose to exist in the name of a club. Students recruited by the club are members of the club only if they belong to the college, and the club also belongs to Kassel. Serge knows everything."
Ange glanced at Gu Bei, but didn't see any emotion on that overly young face, so he could only continue.
"As for the fact that members who learn different arts must join the Nadutong Club, the college will not force students to do so. We respect the students' personal wishes. In addition to slaying dragons, they can choose to do anything, or they can choose not to do it."
Angers looked at Gu Bei and slowly modified the originally tough terms into something he could accept. But even so, Angers and Kassel College had already made a lot of concessions.
Let’s not talk about anything else, just the issue of establishing associations.
Although it has changed from a Nadutong branch to a Nadutong society and half of the ownership rights have to be given to Kassel, this is already good.
At least half of the ownership rights are still in the hands of Nadotong, and after Nadotong's branch in Kassel was renamed the Nadotong Society, all the members recruited were students from Kassel College.
Just imagine, a little monster from the Dark Empire went to the m78 Nebula to establish an organization, and recruited a lot of Alto Man as members of the organization. At this time, the Kingdom of Light not only did not directly destroy the organization, but instead retained the organization while giving Dark empire-like sovereignty.
is it possible?
That is absolutely impossible.
If he didn't unscrew the little monster's head on the spot, it would be all because of the concave and convex man. If this guy meets Mo De's affectionate Ace, I'm afraid the eight-point light wheel chainsaw will fly from the Tianling Cap to the tail bone.
Gu Bei himself also knew how outrageous this condition was, so he expressed his support with both hands and feet for Angers proposal.
You've already made money anyway, so it doesn't matter if you make less, and this is just the beginning. As long as societies are established everywhere, doesn't Gu Bei have the final say?
When Gu Bei said it was a club, it was a club; when Gu Bei said it was a branch, it was a branch.
As for forcing students who learn different arts to join the branch...
It seems that Gu Bei never said it was compulsory from the beginning. After all, all students who learn different arts will be banned by him, so it makes no difference whether they join any club or not.
This clause was reserved for Angers to negotiate the price, but he did not expect that Angers would make a mistake and acquiesce to this.
Yes, acquiescence.
Although he claimed to follow the students' wishes, according to common sense, Cassel should have intervened to stop it.
Not blocking means allowing.
This is an unexpected surprise.
After discussing these two points, both of them relaxed.
Because compared to the first two points, the third point does not cross the line, and it is also easy to achieve.
In nature, this condition is not a bargaining chip, but closer to the request of a studious student.
After all, Gu Bei can be considered a student of Kassel.
At least that's how it seems to Angers.
Looking at all the alchemy-related documents and secrets in Kassel and the Secret Party, this kind of thing is just a matter of nodding with excitement from the principal of Kassel and the leader of the Secret Party.
As for finding someone proficient in alchemy to explain it to Gu Bei...
If Angers remembered correctly, the old cowboy on the bell tower should be the most powerful alchemist in the world, and he seemed to have inherited the name of Nicholas Flamel.
The old guy drinks and watches movies in the bell tower every day, so it's time to find something for him to do.
The two of them were sitting and drinking tea, each having their own concerns, but overall the atmosphere was much more harmonious, without the tense atmosphere at the beginning.
Angers was considering the person who could fulfill Gu Bei's third condition, while Gu Bei was pondering a question in his mind.
Neither said anything about the third condition.
There's nothing to talk about. Just like buying things costs money, the knowledge of alchemy is the currency Angers uses to buy technology like magic.
As for the other two, there are additional conditions.
In fact, if Gu Bei wanted to learn alchemy, there was a more direct and effective way.
Norton.
The Dragon King named Bronze, the king of alchemy, the first alchemy, and the ancestor of alchemy.
In terms of alchemy, no one in this world can surpass Norton.
If Gu Bei wanted to learn alchemy, asking Norton to teach him would be the best way.
But there are several problems here.
First, Gu Bei and Norton couldn't trust each other.
Gu Bei tricked Norton so much that now Old Tang became the King of Bronze and Fire, while Norton lost his body, was ordered to be bound in the sea of consciousness, and was forcibly turned into a worker.
Although Gu Bei also kept his soul immortal, the relationship between one man and one dragon was finally forged.
Asking Norton for alchemy lessons, let alone whether Norton was willing to teach him, even if he was willing to teach, Gu Bei wouldn't dare to practice it.
Second, there is the issue of identity.
Gu Bei and Chu Zihang are about to enter school. As the Dragon King, Old Tang sneaks into Kassel, the headquarters of the dragon-slaying army, and goes deep into the enemy camp to kill the enemy generals. This sounds very passionate, but one thing needs to be clear.
Although Old Tang has the body of a dragon king, he has a human heart.
In terms of classification, Old Tang is a mixed race, and Norton is the Dragon King.
So there is no problem for Old Tang to enter Kassel.
But once Kassel Academy has a technology similar to that used by Nadutong to detect the identity of the Dragon King.
Oh ho, just cool down.
Gu Bei didn't think Old Tang could survive in the dragon-slaying army.
Even if we take a step back, none of the above things have happened, but there is a problem that must be solved first.
How should a man like Old Tang, who is in his twenties, looks like he is in his thirties, and has a temperament like he is in his forties, enroll in school?
Be a professor?
Therefore, it was very difficult for Lao Tang to enter the school.
Then someone here asked, can't we just bring Norton's soul?
OK.
But for Norton, Old Tang's body can nourish his soul; for Old Tang, Norton can possess him and protect him at critical moments.
These two are in perfect harmony.
For Gu Bei, no matter who he carries around, it is a burden.
So these two and two other Dragon Kings were sent by Gu Bei to work as temporary workers.
Gu Bei suddenly realized that if the temporary workers were all Dragon Kings in the future, that Sable guy might be laid off.
There are exactly eight divisions and eight dragon kings.
Just kidding, Sable doesn't have to be laid off, Norton is a temporary worker in the North American branch.
As for why he didn’t learn alchemy from Norton, there was actually a third point.
That is, Norton's alchemy is too advanced.
But Gu Bei learned alchemy purely to expand his own route and increase the development direction of Divine Machine Bailian.
The magic weapon refining method is the core.
As the saying goes, more is worse than essence.
Alchemy that is too advanced not only requires a lot of time to study, but also is not in the same system as the weapon refining method, which is prone to conflicts and will actually lower Gu Bei's weapon refining level.
Therefore, what Gu Bei needs is not technology, but the wisdom accumulated by the vast number of human alchemists over a long period of time.
What he needs is inspiration and ideas, and then he uses his own methods to realize them.
At this point, Norton couldn't help him.
In the research room, another pot of tea bottomed out.
The negotiation has ended. Although Ange still wanted to taste it for a while and try to analyze what kind of tea Gu Bei brewed, it was already getting late.
Angers stood up to say goodbye.
Gu Bei sent Ange out of the research institute and watched Ange open the door of a Martha before Gu Bei asked the question that had been lingering in his mind.
"Principal Angers, I want to ask you about someone."
Angers stopped in front of the car and turned to look at Gu Bei: "Inquiring about someone? Who?"
Gu Bei was silent for a moment, then spoke carefully.
"I don't know if you've heard of it..."
"...the name Chu Tianjiao?"
