Chapter 217 An Exceptionally Smooth Negotiation
When Tang Sect representatives Bei Bei and Huo Yuhao met with Rachel and Yan Lingshu again in a private room at the Mingyue Hotel, Tang Sect indeed offered its own terms.
Rachel took the list, frowned deliberately, and then said, "Gentlemen, we need to discuss this. Please give us some time."
"Alright, we'll await your reply." Bei Bei replied politely, showing no sign of nervousness, but inwardly he was more flustered than anyone else.
Before long, Rachel and Yan Lingshu returned from outside, and said with some difficulty, "These things are really too much. Could you reduce the amount? We have already shown enough sincerity, so please don't make things difficult for us."
Yan Lingshu, standing to the side, also looked troubled and sighed, "This is the result of our team's discussion, so please, everyone from the Tang Clan, don't make things difficult for us anymore. If this is the result, we will have no choice but to give up this cooperation."
Seeing that the other party was about to give up, Beibei reluctantly said, "Since that's the case, then we'll agree to your terms."
…………
And so began a collaboration in which both sides believed they had gotten a great deal.
In fact, this is how Huo Yuhao and Bei Bei envisioned their negotiation going.
Huo Yuhao: The price is too low, we need to increase it...
Rachel: Two kilograms of Tianchen Sand.
Beibei: No, we can't reveal our strength!
Rachel: Two kilograms of rare metals, one kilogram of deep-sea sunken silver.
Huo Yuhao: I...
Rachel: Two purple-gold dragon scales.
Huo Yuhao: You guys understand the value of sparring with me.
Beibei: Okay, deal!
However, in reality, the Sun and Moon Team was clearly not such a fool. After Rachel left the private room, Huo Yuhao and Bei Bei, fearing that the Sun and Moon Team would change their minds, frantically grabbed their things and fled back to the Mingyue Hotel.
Inside the Mingyue Hotel, everyone was waiting for news of Huo Yuhao and Bei Bei. Tang Ya was about to speak when she suddenly heard a rapid knocking on the door.
"Who is it? Could it be Bei Bei and Huo Yuhao who are back?" Xiao Xiao walked over and opened the door. Standing outside the door were Bei Bei and Huo Yuhao.
Seeing Huo Yuhao and Bei Bei return so quickly, He Caitou couldn't help but mutter to himself, "They're back so fast, could the negotiations have broken down?"
"Everyone..." Beibei began calmly, "I have good news and bad news to tell you."
Xu Sanshi glanced at Bei Bei and said, "Don't tell me the good news is that they agreed, and the bad news is that they changed their minds again?"
Tang Ya also came over and asked, "Beibei, stop keeping us in suspense and tell us how it went?"
At this moment, Huo Yuhao stepped forward and slowly said, "Actually, it's not bad. We were just pressured to lower the price quite a bit, but in the end, we still managed to succeed."
Upon hearing Huo Yuhao say that they had successfully reached a deal, the next thing to focus on was the sparring match with the Sun and Moon team.
It was ostensibly a friendly exchange, but in reality, it was an exchange of intelligence.
If it weren't for the Tang Clan's dire situation, BeiBei wouldn't have wanted to make this deal with the Sun and Moon Team.
"We've set the sparring date for tomorrow. The rules are simple: no killing blows, but everyone has to participate, and each person must unleash their first two soul skills. There will be seven matches in total, and the order of appearance is not fixed; we can just do whatever we want." Huo Yuhao spread out the items he had received in the room.
Looking at the pile of metal and soul-guiding materials, He Caitou himself didn't know whether to feel fortunate or painful.
"What's wrong, Senior Brother He? Do you have any questions?" Huo Yuhao asked, looking at He Caitou's ever-changing expression.
He Caitou thought for a moment and then said, "Seven matches, but what about Wang Dong'er? We only have six people now..."
"If Wang Dong'er hasn't returned yet, then let Teacher Tang Ya take over. Consider it a chance for Teacher Tang Ya to practice."
If no one else is available, Tang Ya will take over; it's that simple.
Although it wasn't a good idea, they didn't think Wang Dong'er would be back before tomorrow.
…………
"Captain, they've agreed. We've arranged the competition to take place tomorrow at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy. And, as expected, their price was exactly what you anticipated, Captain. Although they initially asked for an exorbitant amount, in the end, the final price was only fifty percent higher than the list price." Rachel chuckled, seemingly pleased that their plan was halfway to success.
Luo Yu nodded and said, "Since you've accepted our gifts, don't think you can just eat them up so easily. Now, please pass on the message to Mingde Hall and tell the students there that tomorrow we will be playing a friendly match against the previous champion team at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy. We invite you all to come and watch and learn."
"Captain, you're planning to maximize our potential! If we rent the venue and start charging admission, we'll be rolling in money! I'm starting to realize now that you have the makings of a shrewd businessman!" Lu Jiuyu looked at Luo Yu with a greedy expression.
Boom!
"Ah! Hiss—"
A sharp crack echoed as Lu Jiuyu snapped his head back, followed by a cry of pain.
"If you don't mind, I can allow you to crawl around the field twice during tomorrow's competition. This can be offered as a paid activity. What do you think?" Luo Yu looked at Lu Jiuyu very seriously, took out her notebook, and began to take notes.
"This isn't a good idea..." Lu Jiuyu's expression was somewhat unnatural.
Closing the note, Luo Yu said calmly, "So, do you think what you said before was good?"
"Isn't...it good?"
…………
"Captain, don't hit my face..."
Under the expectant gazes of everyone, Lu Jiuyu covered his face with his hands and curled up into a ball.
boom!
A notebook was slapped onto Lu Jiuyu's forehead by Luo Yu. By the time Lu Jiuyu reacted, Luo Yu had already disappeared, leaving only the notebook pages that had slid off his forehead and fallen to the ground.
"This is my analysis of the Shrek Seven Devils. You and Rachel study it carefully. I'll leave the tactics to you and Rachel. No matter how the match goes tomorrow, what I need is for you to improve in this battle. This victory or defeat doesn't mean anything, but you also can't let your guard down."
The sound of falling feathers drifted from afar, but when Rachel looked in the direction of the sound, she could no longer see any trace of the falling feathers.
"The captain is indeed the captain! His speed is amazing!" Just as Rachel was full of admiration, an untimely voice came.
Heavily in debt and the "forever" series.
I had too much homework today, so I only managed to write 2,000 words. I'm going to finish it now...
