Chapter 327 Negotiation
Yue Yuan's words came out of his mouth, were converted into electrical signals through the microphone, and then translated into electromagnetic wave signals recognizable by the Nair civilization by the interactive system, and finally turned into a language understandable to the Nair people.
The appearance of the voice finally reduced the noise in the Nair meeting room. At the same time, the great governor of the first star region of the Nair civilization also came to his senses, and saw him raising his smooth and dark head. , looked at the big screen where the human was with the pair of compound eyes that could not see emotions, and then vibrated the vocal organ in the abdomen.
"Bennel is the Grand Governor and the highest officer of the Second Star Territory. Here, I would like to extend a warm welcome to the arrival of human civilization. According to our etiquette, we should have held a grand banquet for our guests, but what happened? There are huge racial differences between the two sides, and the food we think is probably not in line with the taste of the guests, so I can only express my regret.”
After saying this, the Grand Governor turned back and raised his chela to issue a warning to the two Nair people in the venue who were still whispering. He heard it. These two people seemed to be surprised that human voices appeared from their mouths.
In fact, the Grand Governor was also quite surprised, because in the home planet of Nair civilization, only those ugly, soft and stupid creatures could make sounds in this way.
However, the Grand Governor also knew that now was not the time to think about such things, so he raised his chela and clicked it a few times to silence the Nair people who were still discussing in low voices in the venue, before continuing to speak in the direction of this human being.
"Well, I'm sorry for human civilization, let's get straight to the point. You can relax about the supply of materials. After receiving the communication notification from the Great Fire Star, we have made some preparations in advance, so now the Pot Cover Planet No. 5 I have already stocked up a lot.
However, we don’t know exactly what kind of materials you need or how much of each material you need, so we ask you to make a detailed list so that we can transport them here to you.
Well, by the way, you are also a civilization that has mastered heavy nuclear fusion, and you have the experience of traveling in the universe. You must also know that energy fuels and various ores are actually not valuable. Of course, our Neer civilization also knows, but even if these things are no longer valuable, Even if they are everywhere in the universe and are worthless, they still cost money to mine. Therefore, we charge the cost of mining and transporting these various mineral resources and common silicate and other stones used as fuel. I hope you can Understand our difficulties. "
The words of the Nair Governor did not reveal any dissatisfaction with the appearance of human beings, but as for the supplementary supplies, he only talked about the fuel and various minerals needed for heavy nuclear fusion, but said nothing about cold nuclear fusion fuel. Not mentioned.
The meaning is self-evident. Heavy nuclear fusion means burning stones, and the fuel can be dug out of sacks. However, cold nuclear fusion requires superb price technology to produce, so he plans to sell the cold nuclear fusion fuel at a different price. mean.
As for why the 'price' standard was not mentioned directly, it was because neither he, the Great Governor, nor other Nair experts and doctors knew what standard should be used for pricing between two different civilizations.
After all, it was all bragging to tell humans that the Nair people had dealt with other civilizations. In fact, they had never seen aliens other than themselves, let alone exchanges and trades.
This is the first time in their history that they have had such contact with humans, but what they said before has been blown out. Naturally, it is impossible for them to destroy their own reputation. They still need to save face.
So he plans to let the humans make a so-called list first. As long as the humans list it, he will have a reference. Then he can exchange his mineral resources or other technologies that he wants to exchange. Set a base price so you can save face.
Of course, it is not just a matter of face. The Grand Governor knows very well that humans must not let humans know that this is the first time that the Nair people have come into contact with aliens. Otherwise, they may be deceived by humans in terms of trade rules.
Because it was real-time communication, it was no different from face-to-face communication. Therefore, Yue Yuan responded directly as soon as the words of the Nair Governor came.
Yue Yuan and everyone present naturally did not know that the Nair people were dealing with aliens for the first time, so they did not think about it. However, they also knew the principle of seizing the opportunity, so he pondered for a while and then said: "There is a charge. It is reasonable. The space exploration fleet of our human civilization has traveled north and south, and has encountered many civilizations, and has also supplied supplies to them. Their practices are the same as yours, and they only charge for mining, processing, and processing of minerals and fuels. The cost of transportation.”
Speaking of this, Yue Yuan smiled and looked at the great governor of the Nair people: "If you can say this, you understand the basic rules of trade between different civilizations. Yes. As you said, we will give you Provide a detailed list of supplies and include a value reference for each resource on the list.
At the same time, I think your Excellency the Great Governor should also be very clear that seeking supplies is only one of the purposes of our coming. In addition, we also want to conduct technological trade with you. Therefore, when we draw up the supply list, we also A list of technologies that can be sold will be drawn up, and of course there will also be some technologies that we want to acquire. "
"As a matter of trade practice, you should also provide us with a list of the technologies you can sell and the technologies you wish to acquire from us while we provide the list. After that, both of us can proceed based on each other's lists. The next round of consultations will ultimately achieve a win-win result.”
After hearing Yue Yuan's words, the governor of the Nell people did not answer immediately, but said "Please wait a moment", then turned off the microphone and discussed with the Nell people from all walks of life who attended the meeting.
Seeing this, Yue Yuan also turned off the microphone, and then asked everyone to analyze the possible answers of the Nell people and the response words of the human side.
After a while, a signal came from the Nell people, indicating that they could continue to open the microphone for communication.
"Your Excellency, the commander-in-chief of human civilization, you are right. We did the same when we communicated with other civilizations before. So we will limit it to three days. After three days, we will each draw up a list and hand it over to the other party, and then enter the next round of consultations." The governor said.
In fact, the governor did not want to agree to make a list, but when discussing with other Nell experts just now, many experts believed that if he did not answer, there might be a risk that humans would discover that they had not actually contacted other alien civilizations. Therefore, after some discussion, he decided to agree.
As for the list and pricing, just leave it to those experts when the time comes. Those experts also said that even if the reference value is unreasonable, it can be said that it was the same in previous exchanges with other civilizations. In any case, they can say that it is a cognitive bias caused by species differences, and there is absolutely no flaw.
"That's great, let's talk about it in three days."
After that, the humans discussed the specific time and the procedures for submitting the list to each other with the Nair people, and then ended this first video call.
