The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman.

"In negotiations and games, there is a concept called 'prime time for maximizing the benefits of taking advantage of the initiative'. Simply put, in a negotiation or a game, the time when you have the maximum initiative is limited."

"You have to use your initiative as much as possible to grab benefits during this period of time. Once you miss this period of time and hesitate to move forward when you could maximize your benefits, the negotiation will be considered a failure."

In the hut outside the woods, Bruce wrote and drew on the table with his fingers, and explained to the two of them in as concise a language as possible why he suggested that Hal must make the lion open his mouth.

"If the price is negotiated between two parties, when you throw out the most advantageous chip in your hand, it is often the time when you have the greatest initiative. The other party will feel moved by your chip. This is actually a kind of emotional judgment. , but as time goes on, reason will gradually gain the upper hand."

"Use the other party's momentary heartbeat, and before his sanity returns, propose the most favorable conditions for yourself. Even if the other party will lower the price later, the final result must be beneficial to you."

"Now, new interest groups want to shake the status of the old military-industrial complex, so they want to cooperate with you. European countries are unwilling to continue to be harvested, and they are pessimistic about the inability to carve up the future of the Soviet Union. This is their emotional moment. At the time, no matter how much you open your mouth, there is room for negotiation."

Bruce's analysis was very clear, and the examples he gave were easy to understand. Hal nodded, thinking that what he said made sense, and Bruce added:
"The CIA has supported many agents abroad. Many people actually know the consequences of being compradors or directly selling out to the country. Therefore, they will take advantage of the time when the United States needs them and try their best to seek benefits for themselves. Everyone is familiar with That's it."

"The helpers don't know Oliver's true identity, and they probably think he is a native of Mexico. As long as Oliver shows a greedy face of seeking money for himself, not only can he relax the vigilance of the other party, but he can also accumulate a lot of wealth in a short period of time. .”

"Those agents who work for themselves will only deposit this wealth in banks or exchange it for luxury cars and mansions for enjoyment. They don't know that the money will eventually flow back to those capitalists. It is the object of the harvest, which is no different from the stupid compatriots in their eyes."

"But if Oliver is willing to invest the money in construction, it will naturally be beneficial to what he wants to do." Bruce sighed and said: "The military-military complex and Congress will use this trick to eat it all over the world, yes Because they think that it is impossible for someone to be unshakable under the huge interests, and this is indeed true, the noble people are always a minority, as long as there is a wavering, it will be riddled with holes in the end."

"No matter what, the benefits they pay are real. As long as those who are willing to do practical things can convert these wealth into permanent assets as soon as possible, and use this to give other people confidence, then the chances of them being shaken can be reduced and a virtuous circle will be formed. .”

The more Hal listened, the more he felt that it made sense, and he almost couldn't wait to go back and tell Oliver. He stood up, shook hands with Bruce, and said, "The matter is urgent now, so I won't say more if I'm polite. I will contact you again."

Bruce nodded and didn't say anything. Hal left in a hurry. On the way back, Clark and Bruce saw Diana looking up to the sky when they reached the door.

Clark frowned, as if he was asking for Bruce's opinion. Bruce stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, you should be a demigod of the Olympus pantheon, right?"

Although it was a question sentence, it was in an affirmative tone. Bruce had rarely spoken in such a Batman tone.

Diana cast her eyes on Bruce's face, but she didn't show any surprise. The people of Amazon have special abilities, and it's no secret in the eyes of high-level officials in the international community. As a small country, Amazon can have such a social status , also depends on this.

But what she didn't expect was that Bruce directly said the name of the Olympus pantheon, and Bruce shook his head and said, "That day, I lied to you when I said that the gemstones on your bracelet would change color, but I didn't It’s not to cheat you, it’s just to make you take the initiative to reveal the bracelet, I saw that the pattern on it has the style of Greece and the Aegean Sea region, so I will naturally associate it with the gods of Olympus.”

"You're a good detective." Diana showed a hint of reminiscence.

Clark stepped forward and said: "You should have seen that the friend who just came to see me and I have some extraordinary abilities. We are doing something that must be kept secret from the outside world, but please believe that it is not a bad thing. So please don't tell anyone."

"It's about Mexico, isn't it?" Diana looked into Clark's eyes, she took two steps to Clark's side, looked at his profile and said, "Actually, it's not hard to guess, Jalisco State The outbreak of the New Democracy Movement, the process is not normal at all, they have won too many battles that should not be won according to common sense, there must be non-secular forces helping."

"Although I also know that I have no position to stop it, and you can't stop it at all, but I have to remind you that using your special ability to participate in the situation of human society is not necessarily a good thing, and it may be counterproductive. "Diana lowered her head slightly, and no one saw the trace of sadness in her brow.

But to the surprise of Bruce and Clark, Diana soon raised her head and said with a firm face, "I don't mean to tell you not to do it. Everyone is responsible for upholding justice, and it has nothing to do with race or ability."

"It's just that you'd better be cautious. Don't let your guard down just because you have special abilities. In the midst of world changes, any individual is very small, even if you are a demigod."

Clark's complexion slowed down a little, he stepped forward and hugged Diana, and then said: "It seems that you have learned a lesson, but don't be sad about it, a generation has a way to go, and don't worry about it." Too worried, we will try to be careful."

"Now, we really exchanged secrets." Bruce stepped forward, looked into Diana's eyes and said, "In the future, even if you don't want to participate in certain things, you will have to participate."

"My honor." Diana raised her eyebrows, and then revealed a hearty smile that she often wore on her face. She turned around and walked into the house. The voices of the three slowly disappeared into the night of the farm.

"I think we hit it off very well and will definitely become very good friends."

"I think so too, Bruce, how about you?"

"……probably."

Accompanied by the subtly chirping of summer insects gradually waking up on the ridges of the fields, another silent night passed, and before dawn the next day, the whole farm suddenly began to run rapidly like a huge machine with a preset time.

Rows of tractors drove along the ridges of the fields, and the green and primitive land was gradually stained with traces of human labor. Hopeful seeds were sown, and people's expectations for a good harvest came from the wind.

With professional tractor technicians as guides, the vegetable field that Clark specially marked out was finally on the right track.

Bruce, who was the fastest to learn, hooked up the tiller and started plowing the land over and over again. Because the land is not big, it can be plowed more finely. The tractor plowed back and forth four times before starting to sow.

The sowing part was carried out by the most experienced Clark. After being familiar with the basic operation of this huge tractor, sowing was difficult for the young people in the small town who have been doing farm work since childhood. Soon, the sowing of this field It's finished.

Diana was going to check the entire field by car to see if there was any problem with the density and location of the seeds. After all the work was done, the day had passed, and she returned to the Kent family's house, waiting for their It is a steaming meal.

In the next two weeks, the three of them will be walking around the field of the farm. This field is not too big and easy to take care of, and it doesn't matter whether it can produce crops, so after finishing the farm work here After that, all three will go to help on the big farm.

Wheat and barley are at the heart of the farm, the most important cash crops, and there is no room for sloppiness, but the Lamborghini tractor really helps.

This tractor is very big and powerful. Jonathan went to the town to borrow the largest cultivator, which is more than three times wider than the usual cultivator, which means that the tractor can drive from one end to the other. Three times as much land can be plowed in the same time, which greatly saves the time for spring plowing.

Everyone knows that the time for spring plowing is extremely precious. A large farm of several thousand acres must be sown within half a month. After the optimal time is exceeded, the amount of crops may be reduced by half every night and day. It is not just a proverb that people are exhausted from busy farming.

All farmers know that big tractors are easy to use and can reduce a lot of stress, but not everyone has the money to buy a tractor worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. With this money, they can add more and more valuable things to the farm.

But no one would not envy such a big tractor. When the Kent Farm started spring plowing, all the farmers around came to see Jonathan driving a Lamborghini tractor like a monster, dragging a bigger cultivator behind him. , A huge field was plowed in less than ten trips back and forth, and everyone's eyes were full of envy.

Although Jonathan often taught Clark not to be too pushy, many farmers worked all their lives just to show their faces in their hometowns. Jonathan was always smiling in his dreams these days, and Martha couldn't bear his excitement.

It was another night full of exhaustion but still laughing and laughing, Bruce climbed up to the attic on hands and feet, leaned on the bed and breathed a sigh of relief, he turned his head and looked at his bedside table.

There are a few newly developed photos on it, which were taken by Jonathan with the camera at the end of the day.

The content of the photos varies, some show Bruce sitting in the cockpit of a tractor, turning his head back to stare at the planter behind him, some show Clark walking on the ridge with two bags of fertilizer, and some show Diana hugging him like a baby. with newborn lambs.

Although the content is different, every photo is sunny and the sky is high and the earth is wide. Everyone's facial features and expressions are hazy and soft, just like the spring wind in Kansas.

Bruce turned to the last photo. The three of them stood side by side on the field ridge, with the endless Kent farm behind them.

Clark, standing on the far left, is holding a bat cat, wearing sunglasses and a floral shirt, and Diana is wearing a plaid shirt and overalls. Both of them are smiling.

Bruce, standing in the middle, was wearing a sweater with a puppy pattern on the chest and a straw hat.

Bruce's fingers gently caressed his face in the photo, and he didn't even notice that when the shutter sounded, his expression was so relaxed. According to the common sense of human beings about expressions, the Bruce in the photo is smiling.

Bruce put down the photo slowly, and exhaled lightly. Recently, he always felt sleepy, as if he was about to fall asleep anytime, anywhere.

But today, Bruce fell asleep even faster, because he wanted to engrave these sunny days in his memory.

In the future, no matter how many times the sun is dim and the rain and fog are lingering, this lonely bat can also guard this lamp and have a good night's dream.
