Negotiating Business Still Requires Goblins

The cooperation was quickly established. The Wine Immortal Lord (masculine) provided some technical support and some eliminated equipment, and even transferred high-quality technical personnel to Xi Ye (masculine). In return, Xi Ye (masculine) had to provide the Wine Immortal Lord (masculine) with 400,000 tons of Fire Ant Mine (neutral) raw ore every year, selling it to the Wine Immortal (masculine) at 70% of the market price!

After the major cooperation was settled, the Wine Immortal (masculine) bid farewell early. After all, as a lord who could afford to sell Dragon-Level Ferocious Beast (neutral), there were still many things to deal with in a day, and there was not much time to waste on Xi Ye (masculine).

The one who came to discuss the price of shopping materials with Xi Ye (masculine) was a Golden Goblin (neutral) with yellow teeth!

The status of goblins in the Universe Federation (neutral) is very special. They are one of the few ancient races that have existed since before the establishment of the Federation (neutral) and are still active today!

Goblins have a bad impression in the eyes of ordinary people. They are dirty, lazy, have despicable personalities, are ugly, and are almost completely unmodifiable!

In the universe, it is one of the few races that cannot be genetically modified. Whether through surgery or pairing, it cannot be modified. To put it this way, even if a goblin mates with a mother dragon, it will still give birth to a goblin. This genetic dominance is simply powerful!

This also leads to the fact that if you are born as a goblin, you will always be a goblin. Evolution can only evolve in the direction of goblins. The Golden Goblin (neutral) in front of you is an advanced breed of goblin.

In the market, goblins that have evolved to this level are very popular. Golden Goblins (neutral) and Black Goblins (neutral) are essentially different. They have amazing business talent and financial sensitivity. Today, three of the Federation's (neutral) top four business schools were founded by goblins, and two of them stipulate that they only accept goblins!

Many major lords in various forces hire goblins to do finance, investment, and risk assessment!

But for Xi Ye (masculine) now, the negotiation object he least wants to encounter is a goblin, because no one can get any advantage from a goblin in terms of doing business. This is almost common sense in the Federation (neutral), just like lords can only be from the Celestial Race (neutral).

"Oh, Your Excellency Lord Xi Ye (masculine), according to our lord's request, we will provide you with a batch of high-quality mold machine tools, including precision Pickaxe (neutral), mining vehicles, exploration vehicles, and mold machine tools for various daily necessities. Don't worry, we provide the technology of the upper three generations, and you will definitely not be disappointed in terms of production efficiency and quality!"

I believe you!

Xi Ye (masculine) rolled his eyes under his helmet. Technology is measured in centuries, and the technology within three generations is almost the middle and upper level of an existing civilian technology of a force. After all, big lords like the Wine Immortal (masculine) have at least tens of thousands of life planets under their command. Except for the Governing Star (neutral) and a few large trading stars, the colonial planets on the edge of other forces are hundreds of thousands of light-years away from the governing place, and it is already very good to be able to use technology within five generations.

How could they sell things that their own people cannot enjoy to outsiders? Under normal circumstances, if you sell something within ten generations, others will already feel deeply comforted. This goblin is indeed cunning, and everything comes out of his mouth. Xi Ye (masculine) immediately became vigilant.

"Don't bother with the pleasantries!" Xi Ye (masculine) waved his hand and said, "Tell me the price."

"What a generous lord!" The goblin said with a smile, "If the universe were full of lords like you, we errand runners wouldn't have to work so hard." As he said that, he handed over a price list.

Xi Ye (masculine) took it and glanced at it, almost shaking his hand and throwing the price list out.

"So expensive?"

"Which part are you referring to, Lord?"

"All of it!" Xi Ye (masculine) said angrily, "A Pickaxe (neutral) mold machine tool costs 500,000 God Coin (neutral). Are you trying to rob me?"

"Lord, you are being serious. The production of precision Pickaxe (neutral) is very complicated. We use the latest Black Ma Gold (neutral) technology of the Federation (neutral). The Pickaxe (neutral) produced is durable and much more advanced than those Cloud Steel Pickaxe (neutral) on the market. You can say that other equipment is expensive, but this equipment is definitely worth the price!"

"Is that so?" Xi Ye (masculine) pointed to another item coldly: "The mining vehicle assembly mold also costs 100,000 God Coin (neutral)?"

"You don't know this, but the most outstanding core product of our Pandaria Interstellar (neutral) today is the engine. In the second- and third-tier free markets, the engines of our forces sell no worse than ordinary official products. That is well-known. Lord Norsas (masculine), do you know him? Their battleships are recognized as the best in the Federation (neutral), and they are now cooperating with us. The latest Venom Fang (neutral) series mecha uses our latest developed Pandaria 18.0 Optical Drive Turbocharged Engine (neutral). It's a flagship product, so it's normal to sell it at a higher price, isn't it?"

Xi Ye (masculine) was stunned. He knew Lord Norsas (masculine), who ranked fifth among the top ten lords of the Federation (neutral) and owned the strongest battleship fleet in the entire Federation (neutral). Being able to cooperate with them was indeed a remarkable thing. He had also seen the latest Venom Fang (neutral) series. The engines used by mecha of that scale would naturally not be bad. Being able to provide this kind of technology meant that the Wine Immortal (masculine) senior's forces were indeed developing more powerfully than he had imagined!

But what does that have to do with mining vehicles? Are you trying to say that the engine technology used in your mining vehicle assembly is also that Pandaria (neutral) model?

"What about accommodation? Isn't it an exaggeration to sell one for 50,000 God Coin (neutral)?"

"Not an exaggeration!" The goblin rubbed his hands and said, "This is pure Bronze Race (neutral) craftsmanship. Whether it is stacking, firmness, internal decoration craftsmanship, or design level, it is definitely worth the price..."

"No, no, no..." Xi Ye (masculine) waved his hands repeatedly: "I'm just buying temporary accommodation for ordinary people. I don't need such high-end ones. Just give me Black Iron Prefabricated House (neutral) for 100 God Coin (neutral) each."

"What? Black Iron Prefabricated House (neutral)?" The goblin's copper-yellow eyes looked like they were about to pop out: "How can you let your people live in that kind of thing? Even ordinary people shouldn't be treated so harshly. I always thought that those who can cooperate with our lord are all people with lofty goals. Don't you know that treating your people so harshly is greatly detrimental to long-term development?"

"Uh... this..." Xi Ye (masculine) was a little dazed by the question and muttered, "My people are all hardworking people."

"Listen to what he's saying?" The goblin immediately turned to a few of his subordinates behind him and said, "Is the fact that the subordinates can endure hardship a reason for the boss to be harsh on them?"

The subordinates shook their heads repeatedly upon hearing this.

The goblin nodded in satisfaction, turned around, and continued, "As an excellent lord, you must understand that the kindness of the people is limited, and resentment often accumulates over time. When it erupts one day, you will understand that saving this little bit of money is completely not worth the loss!"

Xi Ye was immediately solemn: What righteous and stern words from a goblin!

"But can't we be a little less extravagant? How will we improve the benefits in the future?" Xi Ye weakly retorted.

"Hmm, to be able to consider this issue, it seems that you are indeed not a shallow lord!" The goblin rubbed his hands and smiled, "How about this, you can keep this batch of Bronze Race crafted accommodation houses as rewards. Once someone performs excellently, you can use them as cadre accommodation to reward him. In contrast, we will recommend you a batch of Treant Accommodations, well-made, cheap and good..."

Well, he said one extra sentence, and as a result, he was swindled again. The key is that they are justified and well-founded, and he doesn't know how to refute them for a while.

Just like that, after being fooled for a while, Xi Ye was dizzy and signed an order of more than 3 billion, which does not include the money for hiring technical employees and raw materials!

At first, he thought he had borrowed too much with the loan, but now it seems that whether this 10 billion God Coins is enough is a problem...

Damn it, when I get rich in the future, I will also hire a high-level goblin to negotiate business!
