The negotiation table is a waste of time. Since you are wasting time and not allowing yourself to enjoy yourself, the food and drink here are very good. Talking to them about some things in other empires can be regarded as gaining insights.

.

Naturally, there will be some anxious people outside the negotiation room, and that is some local officials from the Eastern Empire. The areas where these local officials were originally were occupied by the Cao Family Trading Company's troops. Since the day they were occupied by the Cao Family Trading Company, they

They were evicted, and they could only take their family and their belongings with them. Many of their family's assets, including some real estate including fields and houses, were in that area. They all hoped that the court could help them.

After getting those things back, the court also gave a positive reply. As long as their things belong to them after the Eastern Empire's army moves in, their empire will not want any of them. They are also nervously waiting for the outcome of the negotiations. If they

If I go to you, I will definitely beat up those negotiators. I have lost all my wealth, and you can still drink and have fun with these robbers here. I really don’t know what you are thinking. The worst I can do tonight.

Go to your house and sleep.

It doesn't matter if you take care of the Cao Family Trading Company from the perspective of your own interests. Anyway, the occupied area is not your own. If you occupy it for one more day, you can get more benefits from these hundreds of cities. The Eastern Empire is different.

These hundreds of cities can produce a lot of things every day. Not to mention other things, even the tax alone is not a small amount. If these are all cheaper for the Cao family business, these compensations will be like paying

It’s twice the same. Thinking of the Prime Minister here in the room and the people in the negotiation room over there, they can’t sit still. Others can waste this time, but I can’t waste this time. The Prime Minister feels it is necessary.

He quickly signed some issues that the two parties had reached consensus on, in case there were changes later. His idea saved the Eastern Empire from losing a lot of things in the future, such as the issue of compensation.

Regarding the issue of compensation, both sides have some consensus, that is, this compensation is necessary. Of course, the Eastern Empire will not admit that it was defeated. Li Cong admitted that he had won, but the other party did not admit that he was defeated, and he was not considered the winner.

What does it feel like? Of course the Eastern Empire will not regard this money as compensation. He can regard this money as trade with you, Li Cong. Li Cong gave them some worthless things and they bought them back at a very high price.

That's right, there are big differences between the two sides regarding this amount. The Eastern Empire is only willing to spend 0 billion silver to compensate for this matter, but as Li Cong said, Li Tong wants the Eastern Empire to spend trillions of silver.

Come to compensate for this matter. The gap between the two parties is as high as 500 times, and this matter has persisted, but the Prime Minister believes that this matter can be solved. The Prime Minister's bottom line is 600 billion silver. It depends on what Li Cong wants to do?

After receiving the instructions from the Prime Minister, the negotiating team members of the Eastern Empire also began to focus on the issue of compensation. More than a dozen people put down their work and began to discuss the issue of compensation with the people of Cao's Trading Company. This time, Cao's Trading Company

Besides Li Cong, the only person who can live here is Boss Cui. Boss Cui is the most familiar with this kind of thing, so Li Cong brought him to discuss these issues. Except for the territorial issue, he can't make concessions on other matters.

Concession. In his heart, Li Cong also wants to end this war quickly. But the bottom line for Boss Cui is to obtain his own maximum benefit. Boss Cui is still very good at weighing this benefit, just like he is now.

It has been seen that the other party wants to reach an agreement on the issue of compensation. The trillions of silver that I asked for is indeed a large amount for them. It is also possible to make a slight concession. It depends on what the other party does.

Thought?

"Everyone, we have reached an agreement on the issue of compensation, that is, the money must be compensated, and the amount of compensation is what we both need to discuss. I feel that you do not have any sincerity in such negotiations. First of all, you

The amount that has not been paid out is really too big. The trillions of silver is equivalent to about one-third of the income of our entire imperial court. Although our income in the imperial court is more than that of the other three empires, the trillions of silver is not enough for us.

It is also very uncomfortable for us. If we take out this money, our court may not have any money in the next few months. Our empire also needs support and money.

One of the negotiating team members from the Eastern Empire patted the table and said, everyone else became quiet. Everyone knew that this was the time to start talking about serious matters. We were not wasting time. Everyone in the Cao Family Trading Company had also lost their focus just now.

If you act lazy, start to deal with it seriously.

"As for the issue of compensation, I don't think my conditions are a bit harsh. First of all, we have occupied a total of 307 of your cities. The average annual tax revenue of these 307 cities is nearly 1,000,000 silver. If you don't use this money

If we leave it to us, we will continue to occupy these more than 300 cities. On average, we will have an income of hundreds of millions of taels of silver every day. This is also a very big loss for you. Besides, we will lose money by taking these places.

It was so powerful that our soldiers lost nearly 50,000 people. Although this number is not very large, our soldiers are all soldiers who use our new weapons. It costs me nearly 50,000 to train a soldier.

Silver, you come and calculate the amount we asked you to eat. It's really not much. I urged the boss to think about it and said, this guy is the best at talking nonsense.

All the senior officials in the Eastern Empire wanted to rush up and beat the boss for his words. How could this guy be so shameless? We didn't invite you to fight. You came to us to fight on your own. Now that you have received losses, you are still...

You want us to compensate you. I really don’t know what to say to you about such a thing. You all continue to do this one by one and you don’t even know what you are thinking. The person just now said, regarding the origin of the war, we should

It is your responsibility. We did not provoke this war. You provoked this war and now you want us to pay so much compensation. This aspect is unacceptable to us. The most we can offer is 50 billion silver compensation.

, If you can accept it, I think we can still continue the negotiation. When we talked toughly about 50 billion silver, Boss Cui snorted coldly. He didn't even get a fraction of what he asked for. If he agreed, he would probably go back.

I had to be skinned by my own brother-in-law.

"Fifty billion silver, I think this uncle is joking. You see in my profile picture, it seems that I am short of a little silver and come here to negotiate with you? I won't say anything else. I can be at this negotiating table.

All of us are at the top of our Cao family business. How much is your annual salary? If I guess correctly, this gentleman should be a high-ranking official, but I think your annual salary is only in the tens.

Around 10,000 taels of silver, plus your other income of more than a billion dollars a year, it shouldn't be too much. All your officials are embezzling at a rate of tens of billions a year. You just compensate me.

How can it be justified to buy 50 billion silver? It is equivalent to a few more officials like you. Do you think we will accept it?" Boss Cui's words made these people blush, you are talking nonsense here.

What? Who embezzled? Who said he would ruin you? Isn’t this fart and insulting?

"Sir, please speak. Please note that we are all imperial officials. We only use our own salaries. We will never touch other money." Another official from the Eastern Empire said. Boss Cui knew that he had just

What I said is a bit excessive. This is all done under the table. If I say it now, if there are officials from the Eastern Empire's Supervision Department, they may be investigated when they go back. The officials of the Eastern Empire are on the four sides.

It is quite good among the big empires. At least on the surface it seems to be very clean. Whether these people have taken the black money is not something I want to pursue. However, after Boss Cui has messed with the rest,

These people also pay a lot of attention when talking. They will not casually say something that is unacceptable to the Cao Family Trading Company. They also know that the person in front of them speaks unscrupulously and will shake things off and suffer a loss.

them.

"Of course, if you don't agree with my compensation plan, in order to make up for our own losses, we will also carry out some activities in our group." The activity he mentioned is not a simple organizational activity.

The officials of the Eastern Empire were also like human beings. They also thought of the local officials outside. They were still waiting for them to help them get back their property. It was certain that some valuable things in the house must be gone.

After being moved away, now the Cao Family Commercial Bank must think about these people's real estate. If all these real estates are sold, they will definitely be worth a lot of money. But who are they going to sell to? This is a big problem.

, the local wealthy businessmen have no money, and they have all been wiped out by the Cao Family Trading Company. It can be said that hundreds of cities are now impoverished!

"Don't misunderstand me, I know what you are thinking now? Those lands and the like are not worth a penny now. Even if I sell them out for a very low price, who will buy them?

?The rich people in your Eastern Empire will not come to buy for the time being. The other three empires are not familiar with this place at all, and of course they will not come to buy. What I want to consider is your heads. Among more than 300 cities, there are

I believe you know better than me how many people there are. With a population of more than one billion, I can take out all of these billions and sell them to the other three empires as slaves. I just don’t know if your Eastern Empire dares to sacrifice this.

Things, what if we sell them all? Although the compensation I want to get is not as much as the bastard I want, it can still supplement us with a lot of funds. If we get a taste of the benefits in this regard

We will continue to attack other counties and cities, and we may get more money by then, so don't regret it." Boss Cui said shamelessly, this guy is probably the only one who can do such a thing.

, and he also said it so grandly, as if he should do such a thing. If you don't give it, it doesn't matter, we will just sell the slaves. This is a good idea.

Boss Cui's flowers immediately dumbfounded these Eastern Empire officials. They had seen shameless people, but they had never seen such a shameless person. They were about to start selling their people. What was going on in this guy's mind?

Is human trafficking something you can do if you want to? Everyone wants to grab this thing on the table and hit this guy directly, and if everyone in the entire empire knows about it, then their

I can't stop thinking. It's very likely that I was killed by some people in the world before I even returned to the capital. Such a shameful thing is really too great. What else can you do if you can't protect the people of your own empire?

? It seems that they should continue to retreat on the issue of compensation, otherwise they will definitely capture these people and sell them. Even if they take those places back for use, it is just a piece of land. Land without people is almost like a dead land. After a while

For more than ten years, it has no other function except growing grass. The losses to the Eastern Empire will be even greater. They will never allow such a thing to happen.

"Things are not non-negotiable. Everything is negotiated slowly. As far as I know, you also obtained a lot of gold and silver treasures after occupying the city. Can these be used to offset part of the compensation amount? If the total amount

I wonder if it can add up to one trillion?" The officials of the Eastern Empire have begun to give in. They have received some information from various aspects. People from the Cao Family Trading Company have robbed hundreds of counties and cities. This

The money in it is estimated to have already exceeded one trillion taels of silver. Even some other valuable things add up to several trillions or even tens of trillions. There may be tens of trillions of silver. After all, the southern part of the Eastern Empire

The coast is a very wealthy place. Just some of their official warehouses robbed may have hundreds of billions of silver. Whether these things can be worth the compensation from the Eastern Empire depends on what the Cao Family Trading Company thinks.

of?

"Sir, I think what you said is a bit one-sided and you don't understand the previous situation. When our army reaches a place, it will never do such a robbery. Such things are simply undisciplined.

It was done by the army. Our army here gets along very well with the people after they arrive at a place. I think there are already hundreds of people from your Eastern Empire outside this building. You can go to our occupied area and have a good time.

Ask them if we have robbed their homes? There is no such thing. For those people we have robbed, you can find them to confront us." Mr. Cui said with a laugh. This is also a characteristic of Li Cong. During the occupation

In all cities, ordinary people are absolutely not allowed to enter their homes. Those who are robbed are those who are not evil and are very rich. No matter how you get your money, if you have money at home, I will get it, and those who

Of course the people will not oppose officials, government warehouses and the like.

The people in the Eastern Empire stopped talking about this matter. What the people from the Cao Family Trading Company said were all true. Basically, none of these people opposed the Cao Family Trading Company. This was mainly because after the people from the Cao Family Trading Company robbed the warehouse, these people
