Blackstone Code

The first negotiation came much faster than expected. On the second day after the mission arrived in the imperial capital, and in the afternoon after everyone met with His Majesty the Emperor, the first negotiation started.

It is said to be the first negotiation, but in fact it is not exactly a negotiation, but more like a process of understanding each other's demands.

The Federation came up with a list, and Gaevra also came up with a list and exchanged it with each other. Each item in these lists is their demand for this negotiation, and they also hope that the other party can cooperate.

In fact, these lists are only part of the list, and the real core content has not been revealed. Those are the things that really need to be discussed.

Everyone is reviewing the directory, including Lynch. He is sitting second to last on the right side of the negotiation table, looking through the directory in his hands. From time to time, some very interesting expressions appear on his face.

Gefra is a monarchy country, where people do not yearn for freedom as fervently as the people of the Federation, freedom that they must have even if they die.

People in Gefra are fanatically loyal to the emperor. From elementary school to university, all education systems are constantly instilling these concepts into every student. The emperor is the most important person in the country and the symbol of the country.

There has never been any praise of freedom here, and they even associate "freedom" with "discipline" at certain times. This also makes many people dislike the word "freedom" because it represents a lack of discipline. .

But it’s not that people here don’t like true freedom. Under the national ideology, people will not openly discuss this. They may still have some curiosity and desire for freedom in their hearts.

In the entire cooperation list, there is almost no exchange of any social and cultural aspects, which also reflects the fear of the Gevra ruling class towards the "freedom" of the federation.

They were afraid that the federal stuff would cause unnecessary trouble, so they said nothing about social and cultural exchanges.

The main demands of the Gaevra people are still in military and technological aspects. They hope to cooperate in these fields, including metallurgy.

"What do you think of this list, Mr. Lynch?"

The person sitting next to Lynch, that is, the person farthest to the right of the center, quietly mentioned this issue to Lynch.

People sitting in other places were also discussing, including the people across from them. They saw the federal directory and began to whisper about the nature of some of the contents in these directories.

Everyone was discussing, and the person sitting next to Lynch, who was also the last one on the right, also felt that he should say something.

After all, he was sitting at this negotiation table. If he didn't say anything during the whole process, wouldn't this trip have been in vain?

So he looked at Lynch and asked this question, "I think some of the demands are a bit...unreasonable." He tried to exchange opinions with Lynch.

Lin Qi looked at him, nodded slightly, and motioned for him to continue.

This young man who looked to be only 27 or 28 years old pointed out what he thought were unreasonable demands and gave his own reasons. In short, he was very involved in the negotiation.

Finally, he looked at Lynch expectantly. After saying so much, he actually wanted to seek a sense of participation and recognition at the same time.

"Very good ideas, I think they are very valuable!" Lynch did not hesitate to praise him. "These ideas of yours are very constructive. Maybe you should talk to the group leader privately. Maybe you can Give him some enlightening help!"

"Do you really think so, Mr. Lynch?" The young man chatting with Lynch felt a little flattered.

In fact, there is no need for him to feel this way. He can go abroad with diplomatic missions to negotiate business under the age of thirty. As long as he makes no mistakes, his future can be said to be smooth.

There was no need for him to care about a businessman's opinion. Lynch was not his superior, let alone a government employee.

But he cares very much about Lynch's opinion. This is the characteristic of the Federation. The power of capital is everywhere, even in power!

If officials in the government leave the support of capital, they will not be able to compete with their opponents and will eventually be eliminated by the voters.

Government officials who are not in positions of power are also inseparable from the support of capitalists. Without the help of capitalists behind them, it will be difficult for them to stand out from a large number of government officials who are almost the same as them and become the one who attracts the most attention.

They are even less likely to appear in front of the TV frequently so that people can get to know them and understand their views and ideas so that they can do their homework for future elections.

Of course, the promotion of officials is actually related to the capitalists. The capitalists can lobby high-level officials for them and let them see their efforts...

The federal government and government officials cannot do without capitalists, so when Lynch expressed his approval, the young man showed such surprise!

He can say to others in the future that "Mr. Lynch is very supportive of my views" or "Mr. Lynch's ideas and mine are highly consistent on certain issues."

Then in his future work, in view of "Mr. Lynch's influence", when selecting officials for promotion, he will be more likely to be the lucky one - because he knows Mr. Lynch and Mr. Lynch looks like him The relationship is good, and his superiors also have the opportunity to get in touch with Lynch because of this subordinate, and seek cooperation at a higher level, or seek help.

As he spoke, the group leader coughed slightly, and people's attention was attracted to him. He put the directory of the Gefra people on the table, pointed at one of the favorite items and said, "This item is not within the scope of our consideration." Inside."

Lynch took a distant look. In the metallurgical category, he opened the file in his hand and found that page. He also saw the project that was refused cooperation, the special metal formula.

Seeing Lin Qi's expression a little strange, the young man next to him turned into an embodiment of knowledge and explained a little for him.

The special metallurgical formula that the regiment leader denied is the submarine shell metal currently in service in the Federation Navy.

This kind of metal needs to have high hardness, but at the same time it must have enough toughness and scalability to be able to face various situations and extreme environments. In short, it is very important.

Lynch is not very clear about the metallurgical formulas. Many of them are core secrets of various countries. It is certainly impossible to carry out in-depth cooperation and development on formula issues.

The team leader's tone changed again, "But we can provide these metal products at low prices and send engineers to guide you in processing the finished products..."

In the process of raising objections from time to time and giving another method, this negotiation that was not a negotiation came to an end before dinner.

Everyone behaved very gentlemanly, and the Gefra people even invited the federal delegation to have dinner with them, but Lynch came out first.

Because Genia came to him again.

When he saw this woman, Lynch knew that his plan was probably successful.

In fact, he knew from the beginning that this woman approached him for a purpose, as if she wanted to find out something he knew.

And his willingness to play a few friendly matches with this woman also has a purpose. He needs this woman to help him convey some words to the ears of those who collect information.

Now that she has appeared again, it means that she has completed the first phase of her mission very well, and has been entrusted by the people behind her with the second phase of the mission. After saying goodbye to the group leader, Lynch and Genia left.

"There is a very special restaurant in the imperial capital. I made a reservation there." Genia naturally took Lin Qi's arm. She smelled very fragrant. It was not the kind of perfume that people could clearly tell was chemical. The fragrance of the blended product is a natural fragrance, a fragrance that comes from nature.

The royal family and some nobles in Gefra still use the oldest method to make their bodies smell fragrant. They will put the clothes they need into the aromatherapy room the day before, and then extract the plant fragrance through various methods. Comes out and attaches to clothes by steam.

This kind of fragrance is very natural, but the disadvantage is that it does not last long.

But for the royal family and nobles, this is not a problem. It is the most normal practice to change one set of clothes every two hours. Sometimes during a dinner, they will change three to four sets of clothes to cope with different times and different occasions. process.

Lynch stretched out his hand to twist a strand of hair. Genia looked at him and asked, "What's wrong?"

"You smell very fragrant..."

After hearing this, Genia did not say "you hate it" like those shy young girls, but asked generously, "do you like it?"

Lynch nodded, "I can't wait (I hope time can fast forward to the next stage)."

"Your mouth is so sweet!" Genia was in a good mood. Being complimented by such a handsome and wealthy young man also proved that she was still a very attractive woman. "But we have to eat first!"

Soon they came to the restaurant that Genia said was very special. What surprised Lynch was that the owner of the restaurant was actually Genia's uncle.

In other words, the operator of this restaurant is a member of the royal family or the emperor's uncle.

"Not everyone is obsessed with power!" Genia explained to Lynch while sitting at the dining table, "For example, I like movies very much and I like to play roles in different stories. Playing different roles and experiencing different lives is what I pursue."

"As for my uncle, he likes cooking very much. It is said that when the last emperor, that is, when my grandfather was still alive, he only ate the dishes made for him by my uncle."

"I actually envy him. He has been pursuing his hobbies from beginning to end. He lives a more free and easy life than anyone else!"

Lynch did not give any comment on this. Whether it is free and easy or helpless, only they themselves know!
