Chapter 387 "Friendly" Negotiation
This is Huadu, the only prosperous place in Wano Country, and it is the former and future capital of the Kurotan Orochi.In the eyes of people in the wilderness, flowers are a dreamy place where they can live comfortably.In the eyes of people in the city, Huadu is a paradise for luxury and money.Even though Wano Country is already dying at this time, Huadu is still playing night and night.
However, today, there is no cheerful atmosphere in Huadu, because the number one beauty in Wano Country, the signature oiran of Huadu, Xiao Zi, was robbed by a strange samurai. The nose said, "The time has come for repayment."
He claimed to be the ghost who came here through 20 years, and claimed to be the remaining will of this land. He showed great strength, and even the transformed snake couldn't stop him from taking Xiao Zi away.This made many people in Huadu afraid. They remembered the prophecy long ago, remembered the name that had disappeared for a long time, and then feared that the time of repayment would come.
Mansfield Valens was very satisfied with the atmosphere in Huadu at this time.Now is the time for him to come on stage.When people panic, when people are overwhelmed, when people lack the information to move on, Mansfield Industries and Jade Brokers are people's best friends.No one can question this.
"It's too ostentatious..."
When Quan Tai heard that the boss wanted to 'negotiate with Orochi', he thought that Mansfield would secretly hand over a letter to Orochi at the banquet or something.But when you think about it, that doesn't seem to be Mansfield's style either.He is more confident than anyone he has ever met, such a confident person, of course he has to use this method...
That's right, this is the way to negotiate with people.
Quan Taizheng was standing on the side of Huadu's main street, watching the men in suits walking in the middle of the main road together with others.God knows where his boss found so many men with almost exactly the same body shape, who can walk in a neat square formation on the street in black suits!
At the head of this incredible phalanx, Mansfield walked there with an unknown super beauty.With his usual confident and professional smile on his face, he waved to the onlookers who screamed at his looks.He's a guy who swaggers everywhere.
Mrs. Quan originally hated this kind of person, but... After communicating with him, I can feel that he is actually a nice person.If anyone in this world is perfect, it must be him.At least it must have seemed.
"The inside of the city and the outside of the city are completely different." Nizhi and his brothers walked behind Mansfield. Now he looked around at the scenery of Huadu, and then remembered the journey all the way from Weaving Li village. Scene, "It's really bad. That's right, this is bad, right? Iji?"
"Ah." If that wasn't bad, what was?Yiji responded, but the difference was that he didn't look around, "Concentrate, Niji. We are working, not sightseeing."
"I see." Ni Zhi curled his lips, and then withdrew his eyes from looking at the residents of Huadu, "Speaking of which, we are going to negotiate, right? Is it really good to have this fighting posture?"
"Negotiation means equal strength." Yongzhi smiled, and he said, "So we have to open up the battle, right? But we are like this, will we fight from the beginning?"
"That's why I picked such a day." Huadu seemed to have just experienced something that dampened people's enthusiasm.Everyone is lifeless.Eager said, "Anyway, Mansfield has the final say, and we just have to listen to him."
that's true.That guy is said to be very smart, and he probably thought of what we thought of.Yongzhi thought it made sense, so he didn't continue the topic, but said: "I thought Youxiang would be there. But I didn't see even a hair of her hair."
"This guy Mansfield... knows how to miss Reiju, and doesn't mention Youxiang at all." He must have done it on purpose!Iji got angry when he thought about it, he looked at Reiju who was walking in front with Mansfield, and said, "After that, force him to speak out."
"That is to say, without incense, I have no energy." Nichi stretched his body, and he said, "This place looks boring. Even the people who monitor us are very poor."
yes.It's also too obvious.Or is it just for us to find out on purpose?Yiji still didn't look around, seeing the big snake city in front of him, he asked his brothers to concentrate, and then raised his hand to signal the soldiers behind him to stop.
"Master Orochi said to meet you, but he didn't say to let you bring the army over."
The person who should be in charge of greeting at the door looked rather dissatisfied. He said, "Only you and a servant can come in."
"Of course. These are just new recruits. There is no other meaning." Mansfield showed a beautiful smile. He turned his head and looked at Yiji. Yiji understood what he meant and just waited outside. He nodded too.So Mansfield and Reiju followed Orochi's men into Orochi City.
"Why did you bring so many people here?" Orochi's subordinates were still brooding over this matter.
"Those are just my employees. They just came to work today." Mansfield fooled with the same words, "You don't have to worry, I'm just here today to discuss business with Mr. Orochi."
"Hmph..." You are clearly protesting.The man also understood it very well, but he didn't say it out loud, "Master Orochi is in a very bad mood because of the fact that the oiran Xiaozi was kidnapped. Be careful what you say!"
"Keep in mind."
I'm afraid it's not because of the oiran Xiaozi, but because of the "ghost that has traveled through 20 years".All expected.Mansfield smiled and looked completely harmless.When he walked into the room where Orochi was, the smile obviously changed immediately, from professional and friendly to blatant 'maliciousness'.
Although it was only fleeting, Reiju saw it all.She knew that hidden under this beautiful mask was the ambition and irrepressible passion of a genius.Wano Kun awakened all of this and let him find the happiness he started from scratch a long time ago. It is absolutely impossible for him to let this happiness disappear quickly, and he may even "backfire" for the final climax.
"Oh……"
As soon as she knelt on the tatami, Reiju felt a stare more explicit than Mansfield's ambition.She was quite sure now why Mansfield had asked herself to follow.This is not a fair negotiation at all, but an open asking price from Heitan Orochi.
"Your maid is not bad." Ever since Reiju walked in the door, Orochi's eyes hadn't moved away from her.
"Miss Reiju is my employee, not a maid. Orochi-sama." Mansfield was very satisfied with the effect, and Reiju came here to distract Orochi.He said, "Let's talk business."
"Hmph." Only then did Big Snake really look at Mansfield, and he said, "I've read the letter you handed over. You said that we can be mutually beneficial? I didn't see it. After all, it's you now Come and beg me to let you do business in Wano Country?"
"That's true. If I want to really start making a profit, I have to get your permission." Mansfield raised his eyebrows. He said, "But the business is actually beneficial to you, too."
"Tell me how beneficial it is?"
"Right now, almost two-thirds of the Wano country's wealth is gathered in this flower... or even more. Orochi-sama. You know this very well. But how much of this wealth belongs to you?"
"What do you mean?"
"I understand your mood and your anger. This country is not worth it, Mr. Orochi. Therefore, you just need to spoil it to your heart's content." Mansfield lowered his voice, his eyes and his tone were different It is easy to question the momentum, "Then, why are there so many people who hold too much wealth and power and enjoy the same treatment as you?"
"identical……?"
"That's right. Look at those people in Huadu. The gentry and the rich, they have a lot of money in their hands. Although they must guarantee the most basic operations, do you think they're not working hard enough" Woolen cloth?"
Yeah, not enough.These are not enough.
Wano country's number one beauty, Wano country's number one banquet, Wano country's number one power, are these enough?Not enough, I know, those people are still laughing at me, they secretly look down on me, some of them have enough money in their hands, some have enough factories or men, none of them really respect me .They just want to make money and live a better life than me!
"I can help you...to get the money back from these people." Mansfield's voice was like a devil's slander, he said, "Of course it is by legitimate means. Make them willing to give their energy and money to you Serve."
"What kind of means? Tell me in detail!"
"There is not only one method, but the ultimate beneficiary of each will be... us."
Mansfield slowed down his speech, he said: "Desolate land, idle yard or immature technology, I can help you buy it. You don't have to come forward, no one knows you are involved at this time, take advantage of what they want Catch up to you, outsmart your psychology, and let them cede their fortune to you."
There are many waste lands.There are even more unused yards.It's just that so far there is no good reason for people to buy it.What's more, many places are unowned, and it is not easy to occupy them by yourself, so you still have to have the airs of being the lord.It is not feasible to blatantly collect money, but if you hide behind foreigners like them...
Orochi was a little moved. He looked at Mansfield's beautiful face. The more he looked, the more he looked like the seductive monster in the legend of Wano Country. At this time, the monster said again: "If you can get those riches , I'm afraid even Kaido...will start to be afraid of your power, right?"
Kaido... Orochi's heart trembled.That person is also like a nightmare.He knew that he was just being used by Kaido.Kaido didn't take himself seriously at all, all he cared about was Kozuki Oden, only...
"If you control almost all the wealth of Wano Country, let the most powerful people in this country work for you willingly. If you really become a popular monarch, then...you can also become a 'legend' , Lord Orochi."
"—Like that man?"
"Ah. That's right. Just like the man in the legend. I think that in this Wano country, no one is closer than you. You just need a little help, a little... help from me."
"..." It's black magic!This man must be something... what kind of vixen!He possesses the sorcery of bewitching people's hearts. Knowing so, the big snake has no choice but to be tempted.He knew that he would be abandoned by Kaido sooner or later. He was not only afraid of Mrs. Shi's prophecy, the ghosts of the Kozuki family, but also the evil spirits that entrenched on Onigashima!
And if, if this monster can do something... if he can make himself stronger, so that he doesn't have to fear these things anymore, then...
"Then what do you want?"
"I'm just a businessman, and I only need to draw three achievements."
Then it doesn't hurt to let him do it.
Orochi smiled and said, "Do what you can, merchant. But also pay attention to your identity."
"I am willing to serve you, Master Orochi. I am very glad that we can reach a consensus." Mansfield slightly saluted, "If you can do the paperwork well, I can go to work immediately. I look forward to your summit That day."
"Hmph...hahahaha... you bastard, you sound nice!"
"Beloved."
"I'll send someone to deliver the paperwork to you later. How about keeping the maid for me?"
"I don't have a maid. Miss Reiju is an indispensable employee, so I'm sorry, Master Orochi."
"Forget it, forget it... What a rigid guy! I'll send you some maids some other day!"
"…………Thank you very much."
Having said that, Mansfield immediately turned around and left the room after Orochi waved his hand to back off.He walked out quickly, and after walking for a while, Reiju who was following behind suddenly said, "You hate yourself like that, don't you?"
"Nothing can escape your eyes, Miss Reiju." Mansfield looked uninspired, far less energetic than when he first came to Big Snake City.
"Obviously the negotiation was successful, but you don't seem happy at all." Reiju said, "Mance, it's not a good thing to force yourself all the time? I've told you many times before."
"Although I understand the truth, but..." Mansfield took a deep breath, and he smiled wryly, "However, I always wear such a disgusting mask unconsciously. In the end, even how to sincerely I forgot to smile."
"Then why did you pretend in the first place?"
"Because when the disguise is perfect, people will listen to you, Miss Reiju." Mansfield lowered his eyes, and his smile faded away, "I'm really a bad person... right?"
"........."
"........."
Reiju didn't answer, and Mansfield also paused for a long time without speaking.After a while, he recovered, and said as if he was refreshed: "Since the work is going well, I will cheer up and tell Miss Youxiang the good news in person!"
"Yeah..." The thought of her took off the mask, Mance.Reiju also smiled, and she said, "Let's go find Youxiang and tell her the news."
"How Miss Youxiang will praise me, I'm really looking forward to it!"
"Should be smiling, Youxiang's 'standard smiling face'."
"To be honest, I urgently need to purify that smiling face, Miss Reiju."
"Ask Yongzhi, he should be able to take you flying."
"Go and beg him right now!!"
--------------------
The author has something to say:
Kagawa: Miss Youxiang is in a hurry and needs to be supplemented immediately.
Iji: So hurry up and tell me where Yuka is!
Kagawa: Why are you always thinking about your fiancée?
Iji: (The fist hardened because the question came back again)
The name of the new chapter is "Throne", which refers to the throne where Orochi lives, and also refers to the position of the Four Emperors where Kaido stands, and the position of the founding king of Wano Kingdom in Kozuki Oden's dream.No matter which one it is, it is crumbling or even has long since fallen.
