Chapter 190 Business Negotiations in Heaven
After leaving Essinger Mobile Fortress, I quickly arrived at the teleportation point at Nantianmen. Because there was a direct teleportation array, I didn't waste much time on the way.
At this time, the Heavenly Court was still the same as before. The Four Heavenly Kings were standing guard at the gate of Nantian Gate, but I was discovered by them as soon as I appeared. When the four heavenly kings saw me, they greeted me very politely and then exchanged a few pleasantries. I came here for business negotiations this time, and of course I had to be polite, so I dealt with them for a few words and then passed.
I had just passed the Nantian Gate when I saw the Four Heavenly Kings behind me taking out a special jade talisman, then injecting divine power and said: "Report, Zi Ri just entered through the Nantian Gate. It seems that he is in a good mood, this time It’s probably not here to ask for debt.”
"Okay, got it." The other party responded and hung up. At this time, I had just entered the realm of heaven.
Following the corridor, I soon arrived outside the Lingxiao Palace. Of course, there was no one here at this time. The gods don't hold meetings every day, so how could they always be standing here? So when I got here, I first asked the gods and generals here to inform the Jade Emperor, and then after waiting for a while, I saw gods and generals from all walks of life gathering over.
"Why is President Ziri free to come to us today?" Seeing me appearing in the main hall, the Jade Emperor didn't put on any airs. This guy already knows that I am a soft-spoken guy, and I will do anything if I really piss him off. Based on previous lessons, the Jade Emperor understood that it is better to be more polite to people like me. At least nothing will be lost.
When I heard the Jade Emperor's greetings, of course I responded politely: "Actually, it's not a big deal. I just came to discuss business with the Jade Emperor."
The Jade Emperor was stunned for a moment when I said it so directly. If someone else had said something like this here, I guess some god-general or something nearby would have jumped out and yelled "Bold" and then arrested me directly. However, I now have a bad reputation in heaven. All the gods and immortals know that there is a demon king like me, so they all pretend not to hear what I say.
Of course, other gods can pretend they didn't hear it, but the Jade Emperor can't. However, it was not because of etiquette issues, but because of interests. Since I said we were talking about business. That's a win-win. After all, they don't do business at a loss. Although Heaven is polite to me, it is not really afraid of me, so if I behave too much, they will not buy my fault. After all, Heavenly Court is still a super powerful divine force. Their current attitude towards me is partly because I am not easy to mess with. But it’s more because I can bring benefits to Heaven. And I know propriety. Although the Heavenly Court can shed some blood every time, the Jade Emperor actually knows that he has cooperated with me for so long. Heaven gains far more than it loses, so they don't mind if I do something outrageous occasionally.
"You talk about business? I'm very curious, what kind of business can you and I discuss?"
"The power of faith." I just threw out four words.
These four words are nothing to us players, but the power of faith is extraordinary to the gods, so the Jade Emperor even stood up from his position as soon as the words "power of faith" came out. "What did you say?"
"I said that the content of our negotiations is the power of faith, and it is not a one-time thing."
"It's not a one-time thing?" Of course the Jade Emperor was not an idiot. On the contrary, he had a very good mind and knew what it was as soon as he heard what I said. "You mean you're going to expand territory again?"
"I said Jade Emperor, your heavenly ears and eyes are not good enough!" I said: "It's not that we want to expand the territory, but that we have already finished the war."
"Is the fight over?" After hearing this, the Jade Emperor looked at me in surprise for a long time, and then said: "No wonder I heard that your Frost Rose Alliance has been very busy recently. It turns out that you are busy with this matter!"
In fact, it is normal for the Jade Emperor not to know about this kind of thing. This is not mainly because Heavenly Court does not have the ability to detect. After all, this kind of thing is not a secret. For such a large-scale operation, you can just go out and ask someone casually. There is no need to investigate at all, but After all, Heavenly Court is a divine race and is restricted by the system and cannot interfere too much in human affairs. Therefore, they usually do not take the initiative to inquire about anything. After all, even if you know you can't do anything, then what do you know? Therefore, all the major protoss are actually the same. They only have a general understanding of the players' movements and do not pay too much attention to them. Anyway, paying attention is in vain.
"Don't the Jade Emperor want to know where we occupy?" I asked with a smirk.
Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor immediately said: "I can probably guess this. Although I don't know it in detail, I roughly know that you have been active on the Sino-Russian border recently, so you must have occupied land on the Russian side."
I nodded immediately after hearing the Jade Emperor's words and said, "Yes, the Jade Emperor guessed it accurately. We have occupied a large piece of land in Russia, and are planning to develop it into a colony and incorporate it into our territory."
"This is a good thing. If there is anything we can do to help, just say it." The Jade Emperor was quite generous this time. After all, this was a real benefit, and of course they would not let it go. Besides, what the Jade Emperor said is just nonsense and cannot be taken seriously. There are only a few things that can mobilize the Protoss. When it is really needed, they can't refuse it at all. And they can't do anything about the things that can't be touched, so saying something like this is the same as not saying anything about it. .
"I don't think we need your help for the time being. We had a big plan to trick the Russians, and their Siberian protoss was also beaten up by us. They are probably hiding at home crying now."
"You are quite powerful," said the Jade Emperor.
"Hehe, it's normal."
"Well, now that everything is over, why don't you come here...?" The Jade Emperor looked at me and asked.
Unexpectedly, he suddenly came back, and I quickly said: "Actually, this matter is not complicated. We are not just a guild for this invasion. We have also invited many other countries around the world to join us. "
"What?" Upon hearing what I said, Taishang Laojun who was standing next to me couldn't bear it anymore. "President Ziri, if you do this, won't all those lands belong to other people's families?"
I looked at Taishang Laojun and said: "We have to do this according to our ability! You also know that your heavenly court cannot help during the attack. We have to deal with Russian players and the Siberian protoss at the same time. Our own strength is simply not enough. How can we stop them without recruiting some allies?”
When I said this, Taishang Laojun had nothing to say. After all, the Gods have an inherent fault in this kind of thing. They couldn't help every time they opened up territories, and after they occupied it, they had to share the power of faith. Of course, they didn't have the confidence to say such things. So Taishang Laojun had no choice but to shut up when he heard what I said.
The Great Sun Tathagata, who had been beside the Jade Emperor, said at this time: "President Purple Sun, since you are occupying land from so many countries this time, the area should not be small, right?" The Great Sun Tathagata didn't want to know this at all. Size of land. He obviously wanted to interrupt me and ask me to stop chasing Taishang Laojun.
Of course, I don’t want to offend Taishang Laojun. After all, Taishang Laojun has a lot of good things in his hands, and he is especially good at refining weapons and elixirs. So I will still have to ask for more from him in the future. Naturally, it is impossible to offend him. I just said that because I didn’t want Taishang Laojun and the others to throw all the responsibility on me. This kind of qualitative matter cannot be taken lightly. Fighting for every cent is the minimum way to deal with it.
"Okay, let's not talk about those things that we don't have. Let's talk about business now."
"I don't know what you're talking about?" asked the Great Sun Tathagata.
I looked at the Great Sun Tathagata and the Jade Emperor. Then he said: "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that I got some business for you."
"You help us get business?" This time all the gods and Buddhas present were stunned. Tianting is not a company, so how can we start talking about this business?
"I know you can't understand, don't worry, I'll explain it to you. This time, we successfully occupied a large area of land in Russia, but a large part of that land was occupied by players from other guilds. And these guilds exist everywhere, and their occupied areas should belong to their own countries. Only the territory of our Frost Rose Alliance and the territories of some other Chinese guilds are the territories from which you can receive the power of faith. But Well, the Russians will definitely not give up. They will definitely fight back. The territories of these countries are all enclaves and are not close to the sea. The gods of those countries have no way to come. Even if they come with difficulty, it is so big It’s a place where the gods can’t stay here permanently, so defense and other matters must be handled by themselves, and the gods can’t count on them.”
"We can understand this, but what does this have to do with us?" asked the Jade Emperor.
I explained: "Here's the problem. Their own gods have no way to provide protection, and they have to share the power of faith, so I thought, instead of taking advantage of those gods, they might as well give it to you."
"Yes, yes, President Ziri's words make sense." The Jade Emperor and the Great Sun Tathagata said in unison.
I smiled and said: "Yes, that's what I thought, so I did it. But, these guilds are all foreign guilds, and they are not under our control! So I can only negotiate with them , and then discussed with them. In the end, we reluctantly reached an agreement, that is, let them all declare cities in the name of our country, and then all these lands will be regarded as our Chinese land, and you can receive the power of faith in these places , it’s definitely a good thing for you.”
"Good things, good things, of course they are good things." The Jade Emperor said excitedly.
Seeing how excited the Jade Emperor was, I quickly added: "However, although they are willing to add the land to our country, they require certain compensation. After all, you are not the gods of their country. Although they are a little shaken because you can provide protection. , but it’s not enough to determine their behavior, so I’m going to discuss with you whether we should give you some compensation or something. If you give them some benefits, they will naturally give us all the land after taking the benefits. country. This way we can achieve a win-win situation, what do you think?"
These gods didn't believe me at all about giving some benefits to those guilds. At least the Jade Emperor and the Great Sun Tathagata both had an open mind and knew that this was actually what I wanted. Of course, the Tathagata Tathagata and the Jade Emperor were not stupid, so of course they couldn't tell them face to face. It would be nice to know this kind of thing. As for my request... they actually don't reject it. After all, if they get this land, their power of faith income will indeed increase, and the power of faith generated by the increase in this territory is not a one-time thing. As long as this land is still our Chinese land, it will continue to flow here. The power of generating faith is provided to Heaven, so this is equivalent to a mining area that will never be exhausted, which is of great significance to Heaven.
It is precisely because of this additional land that it means so much to Heaven. So the gods here don't have any resistance to my words. Compared with the little benefits given out, what they got was long-term meal tickets, and they could still calculate the account.
The Jade Emperor just exchanged glances with the Great Sun Tathagata for a moment and then immediately said: "We agree in principle to your request. After all, this is a benefit for our heaven. So it is not too much to give you a little reward."
"Not for me. It's for them," I corrected.
The Jade Emperor immediately said: "Yes, yes. I said it wrong. It's for them. We don't mind giving some benefits, but we need to discuss the specific benefits. In addition, do you have the area of the occupied area this time? Information? I don’t know how much land we can get this time, and it’s not easy for us to measure your contribution!”
"I've prepared this for a long time." I said and handed over the map I had made before. Taibai Jinxing ran over and took the map and handed it to the Jade Emperor.
The Jade Emperor and the Great Sun Tathagata came closer, and then they opened the map and looked at it. At first they didn't take it seriously, but when they opened the map and saw the marked part on it, the two masters were shocked.
"This, this, this... are all the parts that come out of the red circle?" The Jade Emperor's voice began to tremble. It's not that the Jade Emperor has never seen the market, or that he's not calm enough, but because this area is really scary.
Russia is not a small country like Japan. It is the largest country in the world, and the part we are attacking this time is the eastern region of Russia. This part is vast and sparsely populated in Russia, and our tactics are confinement tactics. , so it is equivalent to making a direct cut on the Russian side, cutting off a large area in the east from the west. Because the two sides are cut off, and Russian players and NPC forces are all concentrated in the west, although the vast land in the eastern region has not yet been included in our country, it is actually no different from what is in the pocket. After all, this It has become a large enclave. As long as we deploy a large number of space blockers in our occupied area, we can block the connection between Russia's teleportation arrays on the east and west sides, so that they will completely cut off contact with the east. In such a vast land, the eastern region of Russia has less than one-tenth of Russia's total population. Such a small number of people cannot stop our invasion at all. Therefore, although this land is not ours yet, it is actually ours.
We cut off almost one-third of Russia with this knife. Such a large area is the largest even in the whole of China, so even the Jade Emperor and the Great Sun Tathagata were so shocked that they almost popped their eyes out.
The expressions of the Jade Emperor and the Great Sun Tathagata made the gods and Buddhas below look anxious. Seeing such an exaggerated reaction from even their boss, they could guess that there should be something special about this land. It was either a good location or a large area. Anyway, there must be something special, otherwise the Jade Emperor and the Great Sun Tathagata would not Such a big reaction. It's a pity that they don't dare to grab the map in the hands of the Jade Emperor and the Great Sun Tathagata now, so they can only worry.
Fortunately, the Great Sun Tathagata and the Jade Emperor are not the kind of people who have never seen the world. Although they were frightened by the size, they reacted quickly.
"Purple Sun! This land has been occupied by you?" The area is so large, and the Jade Emperor and the Great Sun Tathagata are not fools, so of course they can't believe me directly.
"Indeed, not entirely." My answer made both the Jade Emperor and the Great Sun Tathagata stunned again.
I said at this time: "Look carefully. There is a piece of paper pasted on the occupied area I drew on the map. You can tear it off and take a look."
The Jade Emperor followed his instructions and tore off the sticker, and then discovered that the occupied area was actually divided into two colors. I continued at this time: "The occupied area you see now is divided into a red area and a pink area. The red area is the area that has been completely occupied by us. You can also see the pink part, which is the same as the western part of Russia that was occupied by us. It’s completely cut open. The population of Russia is almost entirely concentrated in the west, and the east is no-man’s land. These places are now all no-man’s land, and they have been separated from the main areas of the country. Under such circumstances, It’s only a matter of time before we occupy this area, what do you think?”
The Jade Emperor nodded and said: "This makes sense, but this area is no man's land. What we want is not land, but the power of faith!"
"The most worthless thing in the world is human beings. As long as you have land, you can live as long as you want." I said and turned to the Great Sun Tathagata and said, "Although Guanyin was taken away by me, don't you still have gifts over there?" Zi Guanyin? Don’t be stingy and give more! With such a large land, let’s build a few more cities, and you can let those ordinary people have a few more children and they will have everything.”
"That's a good idea." Sun Tathagata nodded.
I smiled and said, "That means you have acknowledged the size of this land, so can we talk about the price now?"
