Chapter 618 Negotiation
While everyone was living and working as scheduled, on Thursday, the Gange family, one of the vampire families, went through all the trouble to obtain a visa. After many twists and turns, they arrived in the capital of China at noon.
There are four members of the Gange family, led by Count Casio, the patriarch of the Gange family. Casio is a tall, bearded man with a middle-aged appearance, full of strength and beauty.
Casio took three barons with him. When he arrived in the capital of China, he checked into the hotel he had reserved. He immediately sent a meeting request to the Xuanjia and Hua families, the monk families of China, hoping to meet as soon as possible.
Mr. Xuan was too lazy to receive the representatives of the vampire family, but his family did not send anyone to negotiate with the Gange family. He had to reluctantly act as the representative of the Eastern monks. At first, he naturally said that he was busy and would not accept the meeting request. It was not until the evening that the head of the Gange family called in person. Agree to meet and discuss the next day.
The Hua family did not specially send anyone to Beijing, and the young master of the Hua family was responsible for the negotiations. Hua Shao and Xuan Shao had a bad temper, and they made four phone calls from the Gange family patriarch, and only agreed to meet on the fifth time.
Mr. Xuan set a time and place to meet with the Gange family, and called Miss Le in the evening to ask her if she had any special requests.
Le Yun received a call from Young Master Xuan. At first, she didn't think about the vampire family coming to negotiate a relationship with her. She was confused. But after thinking about it, it did have some connection with her. After thinking about it, she made a request happily: " The vampire families used to be nobles. I heard that they have a lot of collections. I am not greedy. I asked the Gange family to send diamonds, sapphires, emeralds, chicken blood gems, and a hundred kilograms each, plus an additional 10,000 taels of gold as compensation. The gems must be of the highest quality. , they are not willing to spend money to consume their money, so let them sign a treaty to allow our monks to freely enter and leave the vampire territory." "
Pfft -" Master Xuan heard the little beauty's excited proposal and couldn't help laughing: "Little beauty , are you sure they will be stupid enough to allow Eastern monks to freely enter and leave their territory?"
Vampires almost all live around the European Alps. The Alps are the largest mountain range in Europe and can almost be said to be the mother mountain of Europe. They have nurtured European countries and are also the land that vampires rely on most. Vampires usually spend their childhood in the mountains. You have to survive and hone yourself until you are able to control your body and strength freely before you can return to a normal life among the crowd. It can be said that the Alps are the territory and cradle of vampires.
Such an important place, as long as the vampire's brain is not infected and necrotic by bacteria, he will not agree to the Eastern monks to play freely in the Alps.
"Theoretically, they generally won't agree. The key point still depends on your skills, Mr. Xuan. Who told them to violate the territory first? It's called courtesy. Naturally, we have to go to their territory to walk around, enjoy the scenery, and pull a few coins by the way. Come back and study the flowers and grasses."
"I'll try my best." Mr. Xuan laughed so hard that the flowers trembled. The little beauty took a fancy to the plants in the European Alps and was ready to take advantage of them.
There was a little beauty who was interested in plants. Mr. Xuan was very amused. After the call ended, he carefully sorted out the negotiation content and added the two demands of the little beauty to the example of compensation requirements.
The Xuanjia and Hua family agreed to meet at the Hua Family Teahouse. The Gange family came to China to negotiate. Of course, the Xuanjia and Hua family had the final say on where to meet and when. They would never let the Gange family choose the place.
The appointment time for the meeting was at 8:30 in the morning. Mr. Xuan went to Hua's house to have breakfast with Mr. Hua in the morning, and then had a small discussion to discuss the content and terms of demanding compensation from the Gange family.
Count Casio found the meeting place half an hour early and confirmed it without a doubt. He walked around nearby and conducted some secret reconnaissance. He was secretly shocked that there were many Chinese monks hidden on the street.
When there were still about ten minutes left before the meeting, Count Casio entered the teahouse with three barons carrying briefcases.
The young people of the Hua family had received instructions from the young master and calmly received the four foreign guests and sent them to the elegant hall upstairs. It was a temporarily adjusted conference-style elegant hall, with two tables in the middle connected side by side and spread with tablecloths to serve as a negotiation table.
The young man from the Hua family led the four foreigners upstairs, invited them into the elegant hall, and seated them at the guest table. Tea was served first, and two young men stood guard at the door.
As the loser, Casio could only accept the arrangement and wait patiently for the heads of Xuanjia and Huajia.
The Great China always keeps its word and promises. Young Master Xuan and Young Master Hua did not break the appointment or delay the meeting because they wanted to show off the Gange family. They entered the elegant hall two minutes before the scheduled time.
Casio brought a baron who was proficient in Chinese to be his translator. When the host arrived, the translator introduced the patriarch of his family to the host.
Xuan Shaohua also has people who are proficient in foreign languages around him, so he is not afraid of their tricks. When they meet, they shake hands politely and greet each other, and sit down separately for the guest of honor.
The young people of the Hua family formally served tea, providing only tea and not bringing anything else to the negotiation table.
The young people of the Hua family and Xuanjia handed the negotiation content documents to the young masters. The young people stood behind the young masters, with four young people beside each person, two inside and outside the door.
The meeting was civilized, with no one from either side swearing or slamming the table. It was as civilized as friends discussing business.
Xuan Jiahua's family pragmatically pointed out that the fact that the vampires broke into the monk's house to cause trouble was a violation of the agreement by the vampire family and a major international problem. They asked the Gange family to give an explanation to the Eastern monks. This is the fact that the Gange family has nothing to do
. He denied that the purpose of the negotiation was only to minimize major issues and discuss them as private matters, and to avoid discussing international issues in conjunction with the contract between the monks.
The two sides talked back and forth, but couldn't reach an agreement. After talking for two hours, they still couldn't find the rhythm of the conversation. The two sides took a temporary break for a few minutes to rest and recuperate before continuing.
After a tug-of-war, we still couldn't reach an agreement at noon, so Hua's family provided lunch, a simple Chinese lunch for each person.
The conversation continued after the meal, and the discussion lasted until mid-afternoon. The Gange family was forced to do nothing, and agreed to compensate the Hua family a hundredfold for their losses, and agreed that Eastern monks could freely enter the territory of the Gange family within a hundred years. The family requested a detailed investigation into why the vampires of the Gange family violated the country or offended the Hua family, and gave a satisfactory explanation to the Eastern monks;
The two clansmen fell into the hands of the Eastern monks, and the Gange family had to accept the Xuan family's additional conditions for compensation for diamonds and gems. Fortunately, through unremitting efforts, the compensation conditions were reduced to five kilograms of diamonds, top-quality bloodstones, and sapphires and emeralds. Ten yuan each. Because the Xuan family could not fully meet the requirements, two Chinese antiques from the Zhao and Song Dynasties collected by the Gange family in Europe and two hundred kilograms of gold were compensated.
Casio, who was forced to accept unequal compensation, was bleeding when he signed the contract. This time the Ganger family suffered a great loss, not only the loss of property, but also the loss of face. After this time, it is estimated that the Ganger family will suffer losses for a long time. Being ridiculed by other vampire families, his right to speak will be greatly reduced.
The two parties reached an agreement, signed the contract, and agreed on when to go to Province A tomorrow, and what kind of transportation to take to reserve the time and place. The meeting ended.
Casio left the meeting place feeling like he wanted to scold his mother. He returned to the hotel where he was staying and got angry. He made an overseas phone call and scolded two of the clan members who were the culprit.
No matter how angry he was, he could only vent his anger by yelling. What he should do was continue. He rushed to the airport at noon the next day, and took a three o'clock flight with the Hua family to Huang City, Province A.
There are relatively few direct flights from the capital to Huang City in Province A. The most famous Yishan Mountain in Province A is in Huang City, so there are direct flights. Most flights are in the afternoon or evening, and the journey takes about two and a half hours.
There are twelve members of the Hua and Gange families. The flight landed at around 6:20 pm. The group did not have any large luggage. There was no need to wait for luggage after getting off the plane. They took their carry-on luggage out of the airport because they had already arrived. It was evening. I went to have dinner before taking a taxi to the village where the Hua family lived.
It was already eight o'clock in the evening when Hua Shao and four members of the Gange family arrived near Huajia Ancient Town. They parked five miles away from the town and asked the taxi driver to wait for their return while they walked to the ancient town.
The group of people stopped when they were two miles away from the ancient town and stood in the darkness waiting for the Hua family to send the two members of the Gange family out of the town.
The climate in summer is very hot. Huang City is mountainous, especially in the Yishan Scenic Area. The mountains are green and the water is beautiful. The air is good and it is not hot. The evening breeze brings a pleasant coolness.
The night was cold and Casio was in a bad mood.
After waiting for three or four minutes, a bright light appeared in the distance. The light was swaying. At first it looked like a shooting star, but soon it got closer and closer, and then it drifted closer like a ghost.
When they were still far away, Casio saw clearly that the person coming over there was carrying a dark coffin! Without anyone's explanation, he understood that the two vampires from the Ganger family must be in the coffin.
What shocked him was not those people carrying the coffin, but how could the Eastern monks use coffins to imprison vampires?
Casio watched silently as a group of people approached, and roughly guessed that the two idiots in his family would be captured alive. The Hua family were all monks, and some of them looked very powerful.
Four people from the Hua family carried the coffin, escorted by the head of the Hua family and four clan elders. They only used four flashlights. The four people carrying the coffin were middle-aged people. They were all walking as fast as they could with the coffin weighing several hundred kilograms on their shoulders. The members of the Gange family met and lowered the coffin about three meters apart.
Mr. Hua said hello to the head of the family and the elders of the clan, and then introduced Casio, the head of the Gange family. The Hua family shook hands with Count Casio: "Welcome the count to travel to China. I hope you have a happy holiday." The family translator said to the head of the Hua
family The words were translated into the native language of the country. Casio was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. What kind of trip? Happy shit holiday!
He was so angry that he had to give in under the roof. He had to thank the Hua family for their consideration like a gentleman. In order not to be angry and vomit blood, he returned to the topic: "There are two ignorant children in the family who have unintentionally offended your family. As the patriarch of the family, I feel deeply guilty. This time I came here specifically to take someone back to China. Please leave the two children to me. I will take them home and discipline them well." "
Easy to say." After hearing what the vampire count said he wanted to take away the two unlucky guys, The head of the Hua family is very easy to talk to, so he asked people to open the coffin.
The four middle-aged members of the Hua family pushed open the coffin lid silently, raised the flashlight, and asked the vampire count to test whether it was true or false.
The coffin opened a line, and Cassio smelled the smell of sandalwood that vampires fear. He endured the disgust and walked closer to take a look. There were no other items in the coffin, only two people lying on their backs, with sandalwood sticks stuck on their eyes and tongues.
The two vampires are still alive, but due to the sealed power, they are as quiet as sleeping vegetative people.
When Cassio saw the sandalwood sticks nailed to the clansman's body, his face turned black and blue. The two idiot clansmen were not dead yet, but most of their strength had been lost. Even if the seal was unsealed, their strength had been reduced, probably only to the viscount level. With the power of blood, it would take at least two hundred years to return to the previous level of cultivation through normal means.
The rise and fall of a vampire family almost depends on whether there is a count to support it. Only a family with a count can retain enough resources. If there is no count-level senior vampire to control the family, other vampires will also rob the resources and bully them.
Every vampire family will fall because there are no high-level vampires at the earl level, and they can only rely on other vampire families for protection.
The clan was almost deposed. As the clan leader, Cassio was so heartbroken that he wanted to kill someone. The other one was deposed and he was deposed, but one of them happened to be a count! The Gange family only has three earl-level vampires, and now they have lost one more, leaving only two earls.
The Gange family was willing to accept the treaty proposed by the Eastern monks only because they wanted to redeem a high-level vampire at the earl level. As a result, they signed various unequal treaties to redeem two losers. How can you teach him not to be angry?
When they first negotiated, the Gange family only said that they wanted to ensure that the two vampires were alive, thinking that the Eastern monks did not know how to seal the vampire's bloodline ability, because there were also high-level vampires who fell into the hands of Chinese monks more than a hundred years ago, and were finally able to return to China after negotiation. After training, the bloodline ability quickly recovered. However, unexpectedly, an accident occurred this time. The Chinese monks used strange methods to destroy the foundation of the vampire's bloodline power.
"That's right." Feeling angry and hateful, he could only hold his nose and admit it.
The head of the Gange family verified that the vampires were members of their family. The head of the Hua family did not hesitate and had the two unlucky vampires taken out of the coffins and placed on the ground. He also handed the two vampires' luggage bags to the Gange family. , when two vampires were arrested in the Hua family, the Hua family found out where the two vampires lived and went to the B&B in the ancient town to pick up the vampires' luggage.
The Hua family is the village chief of the ancient town, and what they say is more convincing. The Hua family said that two foreign friends and their young people were studying bats and ran away in the middle of the night. They will not be back for a while. They will help take care of the luggage. The Hua family Guarantor, the villagers naturally had nothing to say and handed over the passengers' luggage to the Hua family for safekeeping.
After returning the backpack, the head of the Hua family put on gloves and personally collected the sandalwood sticks that sealed the two vampires, pulling out the sticks one by one, and finally pulled out the stick from their navels.
An elder of the Hua family took out a glass bottle from his bag, poured water into it, and put the sandalwood sticks stained with vampire blood into the water to disinfect and remove evil spirits.
The head of the Hua family released the seal on the two vampires, took off his gloves and took out a bag, took out two pieces of medicine with cut parts, gave each of the two vampires a small piece to put in their mouths, and then calmly handed the vampires to the Gange family.
Casio had a dark face to do the handover work with the head of the Hua family. He signed and fingerprinted a contract for taking hostages. The two parties completed the handover of the hostages. The Hua family led the clan members to carry the coffin back to the town, and Young Hua and the guards also returned to the Hua family.
When the Hua family walked away, Casio gave the two idiots a kick with a dark face, and then asked the tribesmen to help the two idiots who had already failed to deal with their injuries.
The third baron of the Gange family wiped away the blood of the two clansmen, covered their eyes with gauze, carried them on their backs, and carried them back to find a taxi.
There was no one else around, so he used his vampire power and ran as fast as lightning until he was not far from the taxi. Then he changed to slow driving, found a waiting taxi, returned to Huang City, and found a temporary hotel to check into.
The two vampires were released from the seal, took medicine, and finally woke up at dawn the next day. They were as weak as ordinary people after a serious illness. When they heard that the clan leader had redeemed them, they were so frightened that they didn't dare to say a word for a long time.
The two of them had no choice but to go see the Earl of Cassie District. The baron of the Gange family sent the injured clansman to see the clan leader.
Even if they stayed temporarily, the Gange family stayed in a big hotel. Casio lived in a separate room. When the tribe sent two idiots, he had just washed up and was sitting in the room smoking sorbet.
The baron sent the two weak vampires to the count and stood quietly on one side.
The two idiots didn't say a word for a long time, and Cassio roared impatiently and worriedly: "Ada, give me a reasonable explanation! If you and your son don't give me a reasonable explanation, you will never want to return to the Ganger family again."
The old vampire Ada was blinded and could not see anyone or anything. She could only sense the location of Count Casio. When she heard the roar, she trembled slightly and explained with difficulty: "Your Excellency Count Casio, I...have A reasonable explanation is that I was invited by Mr. Edela of the Lesemba family to look for someone in China, so I came to China." "
You idiot, why didn't he come by himself when he wanted to find someone? He was afraid of the agreement and didn't dare Come to China and use you as a spearman. You idiot, you really came to the Eastern Monk Family to kill people. Is this shit in your head? I don’t want to see you now. Go back and write out the story carefully. Give it to me, the Queen of Bells." Cassio already wanted to kill Ada. If this wasn't the Chinese Kingdom, he would really suck Ada dry to prevent the Gange family from being implicated by that guy.
After being scolded, Ada did not dare to say anything more. She followed the clansman who brought her back to the guest room, and obediently recorded how she was found by Count Edela and invited him to be a guest, and then asked him for help, and how she came to China. Presented in text.
His eyes were gone, but his feelings were still there, and his writing would not be too messy. He could write down a story. He did not dare to see the earl again and handed it over to his fellow clan members.
Casio got Ada's notes and put them away. After breakfast, he went to the airport to take a flight back to the capital of China. Because two people were injured, they were almost caught during the security check on the plane. The Gange family claimed that two people fell in danger while exploring the wilderness in Mount Yi. Injured, they came to take the person back to China as an explanation, and called the Hua family for verification before they were able to board the plane successfully.
Casio ransomed his tribe and returned to the Chinese capital for only one night before returning to Europe on Monday morning.
