Chapter 10 How to Negotiate with People
Soon, the night watchman of the motorcade also noticed Ronald’s arrival.
The two awake men on the other side of the fire called to the sleeping one, and all three rose together.
But then.
Except for looking at Ronald, they stopped.
The three people were stuck in place, and after exchanging a few words, they actually started to argue about something.
Very good, it’s really more and more in line with what I want!
Although the rainy night made it impossible to hear clearly the conversation on the other side, Rodner could still see through the movements of these people at a glance.
Simple physical work, you and me saying something is not a heated argument.
As the team kept vigil, they were obviously discussing their identities and how to deal with it.
It takes a lot of effort to decide such a simple question. Isn't it easy to deal with them with your own eloquence?
Based on his language proficiency, he tried to speak a few words of 'local dialect' in a low voice.
Immediately, with a hint of confidence at the corner of his mouth, he came closer to the three of them.
"You three, can you excuse me?"
"."
Seeing that the person they were on guard had already arrived, these three guys finally gave up their useless argument.
Soon, the most muscular person among them stood up and said,
"You, what do you do!"
"Please let me apologize for disturbing your rest."
In order to prevent the other party from unnecessary misunderstandings , Ronald specifically raised his hand to move the edge of his cloak to make sure that the other party could clearly see the kindness on his face, and then he bent slightly to apologize:
"I came out of the town behind and wanted to go to the next town to do some private business. ."
"Because I remember that a motorcade passed by during the day, so I was wondering if I could catch up with you on a rainy day, so that I could take me along." "It's
that simple, gentlemen, please forgive me."
After listening to what Ronald said , the three people immediately started discussing in a low voice.
"You see, this guy has fair skin. He seems to be a noble." "How can a
noble go out on his own in this weather? I think it's because of the cold rain. Besides, can you see clearly with this little light?" "
But He speaks in a polite manner, and he looks like a gentleman at first sight." "
Then what do you think we should do? Don't just drive him back, right?" "Why do
we night watchmen care about this? It's better not to cause trouble and let him go back. Go home."
"It makes sense."
"That's it."
After some whispers, the man who just started to question Ronald spoke again, and this time he had enough confidence to speak because of the support of his companions. Quite a few:
"Your husband, we are just a temporary team. It is impossible to agree to the request of someone of unknown origin at this time." "
In order to prevent some unpleasant things from happening to both of us, please go back." "
After all, The town isn't far away, so it's okay to rent a car at dawn, right?" "
."
Probably noticing Ronald's wording, the guy also changed his title after speaking, but these were still expected reactions.
The way ordinary people think.
This classic rejection technique is really easy to deal with.
Ronald lowered his eyebrows, and there was a hint of request in his sincere tone:
"You three, I..."
"What's going on here!"
Suddenly, a temporary tent erected on the carriage opened a gap, The man's shout also interrupted Ronald's speech.
Ronald could clearly see that this was the carriage that made the wheel marks.
After taking a breath, the people on the carriage noticed through the gap that the number of night watchmen had changed from three to four, and they immediately reacted: "
What's going on? Aren't there three of you watching the night?"
There was someone among the three night watchmen immediately. Ran over.
"Mr. Nessos, this guy said he was from the town behind and wanted to hitch a ride with us." "
Oh?"
Hearing this answer, there was a response from the carriage, and then fell into silence.
Didn't keep anyone waiting.
After a few seconds, the people inside packed up their clothes and jumped out of the tent, then stepped in front of Ronald.
This is a healthy man no more than thirty-five years old, with a moderate build. What is more conspicuous about him is his slightly curly blond hair and a trimmed beard. At this moment, he was simply wearing clothes made of ordinary fabrics, but it didn't look messy.
He should be an experienced trader.
Ronald made his judgment immediately.
In addition to tidying up his appearance to a certain extent, the other party's ability to get out of the carriage so quickly showed that he slept with his clothes on and was definitely not low on vigilance.
When Ronald looked at the businessman, the other party also looked at Ronald's face under the raincoat with his green eyes that had just woken up from sleep.
As soon as he saw Ronald's appearance, the man asked in surprise:
"Are you a noble from the previous town?"
"Sir Ronald!"
Yes, he recognized Ronald!
"Ronald Adler."
"Nice to meet you."
Nodding slightly, a smile that was neither arrogant nor humble appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Ronald admitted his identity in a relaxed tone, and Ronald had already begun to think about the next countermeasures.
Different from those three stupid night watchmen.
This guy who came out of the carriage was someone who you could tell just by looking at him was definitely not that easy to deal with.
The carefully groomed beard is to leave a good impression when talking to others, and the clothes made of ordinary materials are the product of economic constraints. With the carriage exclusive to one person and the attitude when talking to the night watchman, Ronald The thoughts racing through his mind pushed him to the conclusion in an instant.
This is a businessman with average financial status who travels all over the world. The frugal dress does not affect how he dresses himself, which shows that this person understands the impact of external image but also manages his home carefully. Taking the initiative to check out the situation means that he likes to have the situation in his hands.
A shrewd businessman who is cautious and likes to take the initiative.
As one of the businessmen and holders of the power to form the team, I must treat this guy carefully.
After a brief analysis of the travel business background, the corresponding conversation strategies were also developed along with the first trial.
If I remember correctly, the sincerity in the eyes of the vigilante who called him Nassos before
did not diminish at all. Ronald's tone was serious and friendly:
"Mr. Nessos, as a well-informed businessman, you must have heard some news when you stayed in my town before." "
I came out in a hurry and didn't carry too many coins with me. "
But if you are willing to help, the money can be used as a deposit."
As he spoke, Ronald had already taken out all the coins except three silver coins from his pocket, expressing the full sincerity of his words.
According to the actual situation, his country still uses a large number of graded metal currencies. Based on the general value of precious metals and actual social conditions, it is barely enough to serve as a deposit.
"Deposit?"
Although he was mumbling Ronald's words, the merchant named Nassos didn't pay much attention to the coins. Instead, he pretended to observe the coins and looked at the palm holding the coins in front of him.
Seeing this, Xing Shang's attitude instantly changed 180 degrees.
Through the experience of walking outside, he knew that this person was a real nobleman.
Although the coin is only a copper nard of low value, this palm is very interesting. There are no calluses at all on the tiger's mouth and palms, and the ten white and slender fingers only have a small amount of dirt stained by the rainy night.
Especially nails!
All ten fingers are neatly trimmed. This is something that ordinary people or bandits and bandits will not take into account at all. If you look at the appearance through the campfire, there is a high probability that the person in front of you is not lying.
So the person standing in front of him was Ronald Adler, a nobleman who lived in the town he passed by before.
So what the other party calls 'message'...
I understand!
Turning his eyes, Nessos recalled the news he had heard in the town before:
Although the nobles living in the town had a strong family background, they have now fallen into decline. On such a rainy night, he was in a hurry to go to the next town, and the coins in his hand also gave off an aura of poverty. The reason for the other party's presence here was most likely due to financial problems.
The purpose is to save the family's distressed situation. In order to save face, the nobleman in front of him wants to go to the next town on a rainy night and do something that is not very convenient on weekdays!
Having his own estimate of the situation, Xing Shang quickly waved his hand.
"It turns out to be Mr. Ronald."
"I heard about your good name when I passed through the town before. I also wanted to find an opportunity to visit you, but I was busy with trivial matters and couldn't do it." "
Now that we can meet here, It's really the queen's blessing!"
"And how can I charge a fee for helping a gentleman?"
While being polite, Nessos also took the initiative to salute and let the way into the carriage circle:
"If you don't mind, , you can come and rest together in my tent, this rainy day is not a comfortable day."
There was no shirk on his face, and Ronald immediately nodded and followed.
"Thank you very much."
Following the enthusiastic Nassos, he climbed into the carriage, and he was already convinced of his good luck.
Most of the time, the key to dealing with people is not the words, but the way.
Sometimes, even smarter people are not invincible.
In the brief conversation just now, Ronald hinted that he was in trouble in a relatively tactful way, and only produced a small amount of coins to support this hint, without directly pointing out any clear reasons.
In this way, the imaginative space left in the words was filled in by Hong Shang's cleverness.
A poor nobleman -
traveling alone on a rainy night -
to the next town -
shrewd people tend to like to analyze the situation on their own, while those with a strong desire for control will take the initiative to offer opinions.
In this way, Nassus was invisibly guided by Ronald's thinking.
What he thought about for himself was actually what Ronald wanted him to think about.
Once the guidance is successful, the next thing will be simple.
Normally, people don't doubt themselves.
This is 'the truth I inferred'!
There is nothing more persuasive in the world than using the person's own reasons to convince the other person, whether in conversation or debate.
Afterwards, the shrewd merchants naturally did not mind forming a good relationship with a local noble.
His desire for control will also lead him to proactively offer advice from his peers.
It was entirely natural for Ronald to accept the offer himself.
——It’s great to communicate with humans.
Compared with the previous troubles when facing the soft-hearted 'Veranika', this is the benefit that can be brought by choosing the right way to talk to people.
And along with the exchange of taking out the coins, Ronald also specifically observed the other party's eyes when he saw his belongings - there was no disturbance at all.
This small detail can provide you with three pieces of information.
First, the value of the coins in his hand will not be too high, otherwise the businessman will not have any reaction, and if he plans to maintain his own life in the future, he will have to find ways to make money.
Secondly, Mr. Nessos is not short of this small amount of money, and he will not do anything irrational in a short period of time.
Third, Nessus still had this attitude towards a nobleman without money, and Ronald thus confirmed his identity as a noble class in this world.
Even if you don’t have money, you are down and out.
But the status of a noble is still something that ordinary people need to be jealous of, or at least envied.
The world, or the means used by the ruling class in its own region to control the people, is fully reflected from this point.
Bloodline supremacy!
Overall, Ronald was quite satisfied with his experience during this period.
He left the mansion and the strange town safely and safely, and then found a place to stay within a limited time. He even got more useful information through a brief exchange.
During the rest of the journey, your dietary problems can also be solved in the caravan.
very perfect!
Excellent!
