Father, I really don’t want to be the emperor

Ning Fan first set the tone for this negotiation and put the results on the table.

"Your Majesty, these are the conditions that Miluo Kingdom has to pay. What conditions can we, Dakang, give them? In other words, what kind of transfer of benefits should we make to make Miluo Kingdom agree to us, at the source of their river of life? How about carving out a tributary?”

Ergou looked at Ning Fan seriously.

In fact, negotiation is not an art of language. The real negotiation is the exchange of interests. What benefits can you offer, what benefits can I offer? Both sides see if they can accept the other party's conditions. If they can accept the negotiation, it will be considered a success. .

And Ergou's ability to say this means that Ergou already understands the rules of the game and the underlying logic of this world. This is something Ning Fan is very pleased about.

"Indeed, what I said are the prerequisites for negotiation and the result we want. If we want to reach an agreement with the Miluo people, then we, Dakang, must also show some sincerity. Of course, this is a trump card. It will not be possible until the final situation. It must never be taken out.”

Ning Fan took a careful look, and then Ergou began to teach him carefully. In fact, what Ergou said before about the art of negotiation already showed that he fully understood the essence of it. Naturally, Ning Fan didn't need to waste any more words. He just I told Ergou two things.

The first point is deterrence. The strength of Dakang must be shown. As long as Dakang has enough strength to make the Miluo people throw rat weapons and not dare to fall out with Dakang easily, this is Dakang's most important bargaining chip.

Of course, it is not an effective method to rely solely on force to deter Miluo people and force them to lower their heads to eat shit. After all, although it can scare the Miluo people for the time being and prevent them from taking rash actions, once the country is weak or the country is weak, When fighting the Huns, it is very likely that they will attack from behind.

Therefore, in Ning Fan's view, force deterrence is absolutely not enough. The most important thing is to let the Miluo people get some substantial benefits, so as to appease the Miluo people's manic emotions.

From Ning Fan's point of view, it is of course not possible to directly give money to the Miluo people. The most effective way is to do business with the Miluo people, for example, transfer some of the things and technologies that the Miluo people really want to them free of charge.

"One of the bargaining chips in our negotiation is to do business with the Miluo people. Many of our industrial supplies from Dakang will have priority in entering the Miluo people's market in the future. The second point is also the most important bargaining chip in our negotiation this time. We can give the cement production technology to the people of Miluo for free."

Ning Fan looked at Ergou and lowered his voice.

However, after Ning Fan said these words, Ergou became a little anxious: "Your Majesty, this cement manufacturing technology is a secret among secrets. If it was given to the Miluo people for free, wouldn't our losses be huge? big?"

Seeing Ergou being so anxious, Ning Fan felt a little funny. He shook his head and analyzed it carefully: "The cement production technology is certainly confidential, but for us, this production technology is actually useless. After all, cement is Planting something is very heavy, and it is completely unrealistic to manufacture it and sell it to other countries through trade, because its transportation cost is much higher than its own cost."

"So for us at Dakang, cement production is for our own use and can never be exported to other countries. This determines that cement production technology is of little use to us."

"Of course, at this critical moment, it is most important to use this production technology in exchange for the support and understanding of the Miluo people."

Ning Fan smiled and explained the reason clearly. After hearing this, Ergou's expression softened.

"Your Majesty is wise, I have never considered the issues you mentioned. Now that you have said it, I think this is a good deal. After all, the cement production technology is useless to us."

Ergou finally understood the meaning behind Ning Fan's words. He couldn't help but feel happy, and he also had a clue about this cross-border negotiation.

"In short, I will let you be the leader of the mission this time. You must handle this matter well so that we can prosper and enhance our country's prestige."

After Ning Fan gave some careful instructions, he asked Ergou to invite Princess Lolis.

When he heard that Princess Lolis was also going to participate in the affairs of this mission, Ergou had no intention of objecting and was actually a little happy.

He hurriedly left the palace to invite Princess Lolis, while Ning Fan was finalizing other personnel to participate in the mission. After all, it was Dakang's face to go to another country as an ambassador. If some unsuitable people were found, , is likely to cause damage to Dakang’s external image.

Of course, the mission of the envoy to Miluo Country is one thing, and it also needs to send a security team of not too many or too many people.

It is natural for Jin Yiwei to be the leader of this team, but how many people should be sent and who should lead the team is also a problem for Ning Fan. He must discuss this matter with Yue Ying and see where Yue Ying is. Are there any suitable candidates?

In the process of sending an envoy to the Miluo Kingdom to protect the initial team, they will inevitably encounter various dangers, so it is necessary to select some relatively elite personnel from the Jinyi Guards.

After figuring out the cause and effect, Ning Fan was no longer worried. After drinking a cup of tea, he heard the eunuch shouting loudly outside the palace, saying that Princess Lolis of Dabo Kingdom had arrived.

When I first met Princess Lolis, it was still winter. Princess Lolis looked a little bloated in her cloak and jacket. But now that the weather is hot, Ning Fan's eyes lit up because of Princess Lolis's outfit. Even a little surprised.

This Princess Lolis is wearing hot shorts and a gauze-like gauze skirt on her upper body. She looks like an Internet celebrity hottie from a thousand years later.

This outfit was absolutely impactful in this era, and even the eunuchs on the side had their eyes widened.

However, Ning Fan seemed to be immune to this scene. He just glanced at Princess Lolis and sneered at the style of her clothes.

To say that Princess Lolis is top-notch in both appearance and figure, the clothing designs of this era have far limited Princess Lolis's beauty.

At the same time, it also opened a new window for Ning Fan, that is, designing clothes.

If we can bring people's various aesthetic habits for clothing in the future to this era, I wonder if it can detonate the fashion circle of this era.
