District 9

Jiujiang, inside a well-known Western restaurant.

Jianfei stepped in and looked at Coco and asked, "Drink some wine?"

"Sorry," Coco waved her hand, "I don't drink during work."

"Oh, today is a private communication. We are sitting at the dining table, not at the negotiation table." Jianfei smiled and replied: "This does not count working time. Come on, I will pour you some."

"I'm sorry, I really can't drink. We have to talk about things when I go back tonight." Coco refused again.

Jianfei looked at her, put the decanter aside, and said a little frivolously: "I heard in Nanhu that the only person who can make Miss Yu drink willingly is probably Mr. Qin from Sichuan Mansion. Fengjiang Great official, pretty lady in pink, hey, Master Qin’s life is the envy of our generation."

"Your negotiation style won't be based on chasing rumors and spreading rumors about men and women, right? Haha." Coco replied lightly.

Jian Fei was stunned and wanted to talk, but Shen Fei changed the subject: "Today is not a table negotiation. Let's relax and have a casual exchange."

Coco held her little hands in her hands and didn't reply.

"Representative Yu, how can we put it, we have cooperated in the old triangle area." Shen Fei raised his wine glass very elegantly: "I drink, you drink water, let's drink one."

Ke Ke raised his glass when he heard this: "Representative Shen has taken good care of me in Pu Department, I respect you."

After speaking, the two raised their glasses and clinked their glasses. Shen Fei drank the red wine in the glass and said softly: "Representative Yu, this negotiation has reached a deadlock. What do you think of the future situation?"

"Tell the truth?" Coco asked.

"I want to hear the truth." Shen Fei nodded.

"From my perspective, if we cannot get our core interests, we will definitely have to fight." Coco replied with a serious face: "But from my personal standpoint, I don't want any conflict to happen. .”

Shen Fei was a little surprised by this point of view: "Why?"

"Our Yu family is a business family. If the Sichuan government wants to go to war, we have to be the first to pay." Coco chuckled and replied: "So, I don't want any conflict to happen. This will be very harmful to the industry, the company, and the family." It’s not a good thing.”

When Shen Fei heard this, he nodded slowly: "Then why don't you advise Master Qin?"

"My job responsibility is not to persuade, whether to fight or not to fight, that is a matter for the division to decide." Coco replied very rationally: "In Sichuan Mansion, senior officials only need to handle the matters in their hands. Talking too much is overstepping your authority.”

"Actually, from my personal point of view, I also hope that this negotiation can completely resolve the Salt Island issue." Shen Fei replied softly; "A war will not do any good for our three major regions."

"Yes." Coco nodded.

Shen Fei pondered for a while and asked again: "Do you think it is possible for the negotiation to continue if we give up part of Yandao's economic interests?"

"It's unlikely." Coco still shook his head: "You also know that the economic interests of Yandao are not the most important. The right to build the port, garrison the troops, and manage the sea area are what can make the regional departments Heart-warming point.”

"In other words, you will never give in on your core interests?" Jianfei interjected.

"Yes, from my perspective, the Eighth District will never cede its core interests." Coco nodded and said, "The most they can accept is to divide interests according to equity."

"Then there's probably no need to talk about it." Jianfei replied with a smile: "Haha, if things go wrong, one day we and the Sichuan Army will really meet on the battlefield."

Coco said nothing.

"But if there is a fight, I don't think the situation will change." Jianfei continued: "Even if Gu Tai'an, Chen Faction, and Sichuan Faction are all mobilized, it is impossible to end the civil war in a very short period of time. Fight five If we fight for ten years, I don’t think you can afford to delay it. By then we won’t be able to get the equity, and the issue will still be on the negotiation table.”

Coco looked at Jianfei's expression: "Are you really prepared to do this?"

"Let me tell you clearly, if we can't get our core interests, this battle will definitely be unavoidable." Jianfei intervened and replied: "Because we can't lose no matter what! District 9 has formed a strategic alliance with us. The difference in strength is very close. We just can't win, and we can drag Gu Tai'an to death. But if you can't get the holding line of Yandao, you will never be able to touch this piece of cake. After a few years of fighting, you will eventually have to return to the negotiating table. Come on, listen to our conditions."

After hearing this, Shen Fei immediately reminded him: "Brother Jianfei, what you said is a bit radical."

"It's okay." Jianfei waved his hand and replied, "Didn't Representative Yu just say that from the standpoint of many families in Sichuan, they don't want to go to war, so I have the responsibility to tell her the pros and cons of the matter!"

Shen Fei took over the conversation and continued to talk to Coco: "I still hope you can persuade Mr. Qin to be a little more rational on the issue of Yandao, and divide the core rights 50-50 between the two parties. In this way, it can also be done Avoid war and avoid putting your family in an uncomfortable situation!"

From the moment Coco entered the room, she had no intention of arguing with the other party. She had always been very gentle.

"Okay, I will persuade him. As for whether it will have any effect, it's hard to say." Coco paused and replied.

Today, Shen Fei and Jian Fei played a bad role and one played a bad role, but they did not achieve any substantive results, because no matter what the two said, Coco would not accept the move, just like an outsider, trying to reason with them. Analyzing.

The private banquet ended quickly, and Shen Fei personally sent Coco back to the reception venue.

"Thanks for the hospitality, see you later." Coco waved to Shen Fei after getting out of the car.

"Please give me more advice, Mr. Qin," Shen Fei replied with a smile, "See you later."

"Okay." Coco turned and left.

On the way back, Jianfei frowned and loosened his collar: "Damn, this woman is too slippery. She is tit-for-tat with us at the negotiation table, but in private she is easy-going. She will do whatever you say."

After thinking for a long time, Shen Fei said: "Yeah, I can't understand now what the other party is going to do. They don't seem to be in a hurry at all. This is not normal..."

…

Inside the residence building of the Sichuan delegation.

Lin Chengdong entered Coco's room and said softly to her: "There's a reply over there, we can move together."

Coco took off her coat and hung it on the wall, and replied with a serious face: "They have already shown off their cards with me, saying that District 7 is very determined to fight. As a result, we will not have much time left. . I am now very afraid that the other side will start military friction and test our attitude. Once the weapons are fired, the situation will be difficult to reverse."

"you mean……?"

"No more waiting, please notify the outsiders and we can collect the bets." Coco thought for a moment and replied, "We will move here the night after tomorrow."

"Have you thought about your retreat?" Lin Chengdong asked.

When Coco heard the sound, he immediately took out his tablet, pointed at the map on it and said, "After everything is done, we will go here."
