Chapter 977: Means
"Negotiation, negotiation, or negotiation!" Zu Qianyue returned to his residence, angrily threw the notebook in his hand on the table, and the table was trembling.
This negotiation has been going on for five days, and many smart people from the Xuanhuang Group joined in, and they followed the rules of the Dayang Group unknowingly, and started a long negotiation.
And during these five days, the plague finally spread to the whole world. Cases have also been found in Hetu World, which rarely participates in outside activities. With the plague, once a case is found, it can basically be determined that the entire area has been infected.
By this point, the plague had become a global catastrophe. The entire Tianyuan star was shrouded in fear. The society began to panic, and the social order was greatly affected and even destroyed. Industrial and commercial exchanges have been affected.
And some monsters began to die in large numbers. Compared with human beings, most monsters only have instincts, and there is almost no way to save themselves.
The plague spread so fast, Dayang Group was also under tremendous pressure. But at this moment, Dayang Group is also the last and only hope of the world.
Dayang Group's microbial technology and Dayang Group's Fairy Zhou Xueyao are everyone's hope.
In addition, Dayang Group's propaganda methods also contributed a lot.
The Xuanhuang Group is also under tremendous pressure, and this time the plague is also inextricably linked to the Xuanhuang Group. However, compared to the Dayang Group, the Xuanhuang Group can only suffer from being dumb for the time being - there is no means of publicity!
In short, in Zu Qianyue's view, things are a mess now, and he is quite worried.
Beside, Zuo Baihong persuaded softly: "Master, we are passive in the current negotiation method. I am thinking, shouldn't we retreat to advance and change the way of negotiation?
Like, let's go straight to the antidote... oh, the vaccine.
During this period of time, I have been in close contact with Zhou Xueyao, and I think it is impossible for a vaccine to be successfully developed in a short period of time. We should take advantage of this time gap to win over some who have opinions on the Dayang Group, and instigate some vacillating ones.
I thought this might be an opportunity. If we can make good use of this opportunity, maybe we can defeat Dayang Group from the negotiating table! "
Zu Qianyue was a little frowning at first, but at this moment, after hearing Zuo Baihong's words, his eyes suddenly brightened. It seems... can be manipulated?
It was just a dead end before!
Thinking of this, Zu Qianyue began to inquire carefully about Zuo Baihong's vaccine research work.
But Zuo Baihong had been with Zhou Xueyao before, and only recently joined the negotiating team.
Relying on the convenience of being a woman, Zuo Baihong would go to Zhou Xueyao's place for a while when she had time, nominally because she wanted to see the 'antidote' for the first time - Zhou Xueyao said it was called a vaccine, but Zuo Baihong and other experts still like it The term 'antidote'.
In short, Zuo Baihong used this excuse, and it was convenient for her to be a woman, so she was basically entangled with Zhou Xueyao. But to be honest, Zuo Baihong couldn't understand Zhou Xueyao's research at all. In fact, she didn't even know those experimental instruments.
Whenever she wanted to ask Zhou Xueyao, Zhou Xueyao sternly refused with the attitude of "interfering with vaccine research and affecting human safety, you are a heinous crime", and asked Zuo Baihong to stand at the door not to disturb the research.
Speaking of which, Fairy Zhou is not a soft persimmon.
Zuo Baihong was fuming with Zhou Xueyao's angry posture, but she still found time every day to stay in the laboratory with a stern look. Although I can't understand it, I have learned some technical terms after watching it for seven days, and I understand that the research on this 'antidote' is not going well.
But it doesn't go well, it doesn't mean that there are no phased results. Generally speaking, there is hope, but this hope lies... in the distance, and it still needs to work hard.
Therefore, seeing that it could not be completed in a short period of time, Zuo Baihong participated in the negotiation.
It was only after the negotiation that Zuo Baihong realized that her thinking was too simple. The Dayang Group had too many chips, while Xuanhuang World had almost no chips, and the initiative to rescue was in the hands of the Dayang Group.
During the negotiation, Dayang Group will not directly say "If you don't pay, I won't give you treatment." What Dayang Group says is: give priority to rescuing innocent people.
The "innocent" in Dayang Group's mouth is divided into two parts. The first part is the strategic alliance other than Dayang Group. He was helping in the past, but he caused a commotion. No matter how annoyed the Xuanhuang Group was, they had to nod in the face of such a proposal.
The second part is the Hetu World, the Continent of Forming Earth, the Continent of Hidden Earth, and even most of the Continent of Kunlun and all of the Continent of Morning Earth.
The Continent of Morning Earth is the Ming Dynasty. The current relationship between the Dayang Group and the Ming Dynasty is not good. But the Dayang Group made it clear that it would give priority to rescuing patients from the Ming Dynasty.
With such a mind, the representatives of the Xuanhuang Group have nothing to say - they can't say, don't save them, save us first, right?
If you really want to say this, the Xuanhuang Group will stink the street.
But if we really want to follow the operation of the Dayang Group, when it's the turn of the Xuanhuang World, I don't know how many masters from the Xuanhuang Group will be left?
This is what Zuo Baihong is worried about.
Compared with this, Zuo Baihong felt that he should properly agree to some of Dayang Group's conditions. For example, providing research and vaccine production costs.
But Zu Qianyue thought further: this money cannot be paid!
If the Xuanhuang Group paid the money, it would almost admit that the root cause of the plague lies with the Xuanhuang Group. And what's more serious is that once this hole is opened, the Dayang Group will definitely ask for a price, and it is the kind that cannot be negotiated!
Some things can be imagined even if you have not experienced them. Zu Qianyue was 100% sure that when the Dayang Group rescued people, they would definitely quote different prices according to their cultivation level; and for rescue Dharma Prime Ministers and masters of the kingly level, the quotations would definitely be sky-high prices!
The Dayang Group publicly stated that it would provide free rescue; but when it comes to free rescue, the patient is required to sign and acknowledge the cost of the treatment. I am afraid that there is no problem at all-I don't need you to pay, you only need to sign!
On the one hand, the Dayang Group can reap support and gratitude, and on the other hand, it can put pressure on the Xuanhuang Group. Definitely benefit from both ends!
At that time, even if the Xuanhuang Group bears part of it, it will still be a heavy burden.
There is nothing new under the sun, and Zu Qianyue is not an idiot, there are some things that he just didn't think of in the past. Once he thought of it, Zu Qianyue could think of the future after a little thought. After all, as Biyuntian's palace lord, how could he be an idiot.
But... Okay, but on the other hand, this rescue seems to depend on Dayang Group at present.
Although the Dayang Group still hasn't produced an 'antidote', it is the Dayang Group who has the deepest understanding of the plague and what kind of fungus it is.
The second place should be Xinglintang Group, but Xinglintang Group and Dayang Group wear a pair of pants.
Then there are the research institutions of Qixia Kingdom, Tiandu faction, etc., and these forces are almost all internal allies of the strategic alliance.
The reason why everyone can still argue now, and why Zu Qianyue can still support it, is because no one has researched a solution to the plague for the time being.
Zu Qianyue was furious, and finally sat down angrily, frowning and thinking.
After a while, the person in charge of inquiring about the news from the Xuanhuang Group came in and sent an important message: Dayang Group issued a mission in the Mercenary Guild, about the plague.
First, the Dayang Group has released a sealing method, which is specifically aimed at the plague, and those who are at the stage of transformation and above can practice for free; the condition for practice is to receive a rescue mission.
The rescue mission is: once someone is unable to hold on due to the plague, the mercenaries can seal the person and send them to Dayang Group with the consent of the person concerned or his relatives and friends. All expenses will be paid by Dayang Group in advance—yes, it is still paid in advance.
Second, the Dayang Group issued a reward. Anyone, organization, etc., as long as there is a way to deal with the plague, even if it is just a little to curb the symptoms, the Dayang Group will give a reward;
Thirdly, Dayang Group's preliminary research found that practicing high-level real fire can effectively curb the disease.
To practice True Fire, at least the Golden Core cultivation base is required; and this time the plague only affected the Golden Core Stage; the Foundation Establishment Stage and below were not affected, at least for the time being.
The Dayang Group directly disclosed more than a dozen advanced real fire cultivation methods in the mercenary guild—as long as the mercenaries promote a real fire cultivation method, they can practice for free, and they will also get corresponding points for completing tasks.
For the time being, the Dayang Group has released these three tasks, but the three tasks are very interesting. They are all tasks to do good deeds and encourage others to do good deeds. Responsible for guiding practice.
After Zu Qianyue finished listening, he jumped almost instantly, "Shameless, especially shameless! How can Dayang Group do things so shamelessly!"
Yes, Zu Qianyue understood Dayang Group's insidious intentions in an instant - Dayang Group refreshed its moral high ground again! Vigorously refreshed his sense of social responsibility!
Now the whole world knows that Dayang Group and Xuanhuang Group are engaged in intense negotiations, or wrangling; This is enough to win the hearts of the masses!
Compared with the Dayang Group, the actions of the Xuanhuang Group are a bit chilling. Compared with the Dayang Group, the performance of the Xuanhuang Group in the eyes of outsiders is: patronizing wrangling, shirking responsibility, but not taking responsibility, too Selfish.
Zu Qianyue's complexion changed for a long time, and finally he gritted his teeth and said, "Telegram back, let the group prepare 5 million high-grade spirit stones... 10 million, and send it to the Mercenary Guild. Also prepare a beautiful article and publish it in newspapers from all sides superior."
Zu Qianyue almost gritted his teeth and said this. The current mercenary guild is basically the white glove of Dayang Group. However, Dayang Group's series of methods forced Xuanhuang Group to express itself.
Zu Qianyue knew very well that the tens of millions of high-grade spirit stones might be lost.
But after hearing this, the messengers muttered in a low voice: "But the Dayang Group has just issued a statement saying that it will inject 3 billion spirit yuan/high-grade spirit stones into the mercenary guild to deal with the plague.
The Kingdom of Qixia immediately stated that it would inject 300 million spiritual yuan into the mercenary guild, which was also dedicated to the plague.
I think the rest of the holy lands and countries in the strategic alliance will also express themselves, and the capital injections of all parties are probably more than 100 million Lingyuan. "
Zu Qianyue gritted his teeth. Well, it seems that 10 million top-grade spirit stones are really not worth it. But the landlord's family has no surplus food.
The current situation of the Xuanhuang Group is that everything is waiting to be rejuvenated, and it is all supported by the family, and the family has also consumed a lot.
Since the Dayang Group discovered the Xuanhuang World, the Xuanhuang World has spent a lot of money and has a shocking trade deficit; but its own income has been pitifully small.
Especially with the recent continuous wars and the need to build an industrial foundation, the current Xuanhuang Group is really stretched.
In addition, the value of the top-grade spirit stones in Xuanhuang's world is actually higher, which invisibly increases the burden on Xuanhuang Group.
But no matter how difficult it was, Zu Qianyue couldn't help expressing it at this time. Moreover, the Xuanhuang Group advertised that it was not weaker than the Dayang Group. Then this money... can't be too little!
After thinking about it, Zu Qianyue said with blood dripping in his heart: "In this way, we will first inject 100 million high-grade spirit stones into the mercenary guild, and announce to the public that we are raising the next batch of funds. As for the value of the next batch of funds, just say something Count, don't exaggerate. As for the time, just procrastinate, if you procrastinate, you will fall down."
This is a typical blank check. Xuanhuang Group naturally supports them, but will Dayang Group let them go?
