Resurrection Empire

Chapter 650 - 244 Negotiations, Weak Countries Have Diplomacy

The anticipated negotiation demands came quickly, even faster than the rebuilding work in the town.

Ren Zhong had just reached a good consensus with two collaborators about continuing with the next steps when the Mengdu Group’s Liao Yuan Branch Company submitted a communication request to his corporate communication code.

Regarding the reasonable demand from the other side to return the Legion Beast unconditionally, Mr. Ren only replied with two words: "Hehe."

Then he hung up the phone.

He won the war within the rules and in a way that was fair and reasonable.

He was the "victorious country," and there was no reason to return the spoils of war for free.

In fact, the definition of "victorious country" is not absolute.

Even a weak country, if victorious, holds little sway in negotiations.

Strength alone can decide everything.

If someone else dared to be so arrogant, the Mengdu Group would surely invoke special laws and come down hard.

At this moment, Ren Zhong was like an ant, while the Mengdu Group was like a towering tree.

The strength of both sides was completely incomparable.

But behind Ren Zhong, this "weak country," were two "great powers" of equal standing with the Mengdu Group supporting him.

Under certain conditions, even a weak country can have diplomacy.

Ren Zhong was now surrounded by many halos.

A new super internet celebrity, a historically talented mining engineer, the initiator of a new Ruined Beast hunting management model, a talented warrior mastering Consciousness Upload ahead of time at the Third Level...

Behind each of these identities was a group of people whose eyes were focused on him, making the Mengdu Group hesitant to act rashly and face challenges.

He was no longer an ordinary character that could be easily erased.

Another half an hour passed, and while Ren Zhong was leisurely drinking tea and relaxing in his office, the head of the Mengdu Liao Yuan Branch Company called again.

"Mr. Ren, name your terms. This stalemate is not the way. I know the medical resources in Starfire Town are quite abundant, but you can’t leave us hanging without supply forever, can you? This time we’re serious; you won’t be able to buy a single pill from anyone else, not even on the black market."

"My medical resources can last more than half a year, I’m not in a hurry. My terms are simple. First, ten times compensation for my economic loss. Second, increase the compensation for casualties from 1,000 points to 100,000 points per deceased person and 50,000 points per injured person, after taxes. Third, loan me a Molecular Regeneration Device for free with a lease term of five years. Fourth, 20 billion in compensation for emotional damages. Fifth, I want all Special Citizen Credit Points held by the Mengdu Group."

Last timeline, to buy the Molecular Regeneration Device, he offered 10 billion, equivalent to giving Mengdu Group a free 5 billion.

This time he wanted it for free.

On the other end: "..."

The silence on the other end of the communication lasted for a full thirty seconds before the other party responded through gritted teeth, "Are you crazy? You want to become a Level Nine Citizen directly?"

Ren Zhong: "Huh?"

"You’re crazy! You must be crazy!"

Ren Zhong laughed loudly, "Yeah. So what? I’m just a small character who only became a citizen a few months ago, but I’ve managed to defeat Mengdu Group’s multi-billion dollar research team head on. I’m indeed insanely happy, can’t I be?"

"Idiot!" The other party hung up the communication again.

Not long after, Ren Zhong’s "old son," Ma Shu, the deputy manager of the Tanggu Group’s Yangsheng Branch Company, also called.

Ma Shu was there to act as a mediator.

With Mr. Ren’s previous habits, just hearing Ma Shu’s voice would inevitably prompt him to say "I’m your dad," but considering that Ma Shu also helped coordinate some resources, Ren Zhong softened his tones slightly, simply telling Manager Ma to give up hope, as his mind was set, and not even the Emperor could change it.

Before long, another true ally, Ma Dafu, also came by to inquire about the matter.

Afterward, old comrade Ma could only leave shaking his head with a helpless smile.

Eventually, even Sun Miao came around.

Brother Sun received a plea from his former superior, hoping he could offer some advice.

Brother Sun advised, "Damn it, these fools should really be taught a lesson."

Ren Zhong: "Well said, Brother Sun!"

Sun Miao: "Don’t worry, the whole world is watching us now. I’ll bet those hypocrites at headquarters wouldn’t dare to play dirty. Don’t rush, let’s negotiate as we are."

Ren Zhong: "Hmm."

"Also, I think you’re not using the point about leasing the Molecular Regeneration Device well, you should just ask for it outright. This thing has all kinds of wonderful uses beyond your imagination. You’ll regret only asking to use it for five years. Demand an exorbitant price and compromise later. Besides, the cost of a Molecular Regeneration Device is only 5 billion, much less than the emotional damage compensation you’re demanding, so maybe they’ll capitulate here first."
