Chapter 81 Chapter 81 Negotiations to Join
"Wow!"
"Wow!"
…
Ever since entering the market trading area, Hongta has never stopped expressing surprise, and exclamations of admiration keep bursting out of his mouth.
She looks just like Granny Liu when she first entered the Grand View Garden.
"Sister, isn't this too comprehensive?" Looking at the dazzling array of goods in the market, Hong Ta's surprise was beyond words.
Even compared to their original prosperous market before the storm, this place is more like a paradise-like shopping mall!
Chang Ruijia led the way. Although she witnessed Hong Ta's surprise at the goods, she was too embarrassed to say it. In fact, a large part of the things here came from her supply and marketing.
Some things are better known by family members. After all, they are from the same market, and she is the one who is proud now.
There is more than one street for selling goods in the market, but just walking through one of the streets for selling goods is enough to surprise Hongta.
Look, look! What are these things?
Fruit! Food!
Things that should be treasured on the vast and boundless sea are now just lying around in front of stalls like they are everywhere.
And over there, there were all these delicate and exquisite little things, he even saw a mobile phone!
If Hong Ta hadn't wanted to remain a little reserved in front of Chang Ruijia, he would have rushed to the stall and made a large purchase.
Chang Ruijia looked at Hong Tadong's excited look, and silently glanced at Zhang Rui who was hiding in the crowd and making an OK gesture at her, tacitly approving her cheating behavior.
According to common sense, these things were not originally only found on one street. After all, the market also needed these high-demand items to drive traffic to different streets. But now they were almost all concentrated on the street where she brought Hongta. It seemed that someone had done something "secretly".
Before Chang Ruijia could think about anything more, Hong Ta beside her saw something, and with a roar, he no longer had any reservations and rushed directly to the stall next to him.
"What is this?! Am I seeing this right?"
Hong Ta trembled as he held the little thing in his hand. He looked around in disbelief, and finally turned around to ask Chang Ruijia, "Sister, what is this?"
Looking at the stall owners with bright expressions on the surrounding streets, who secretly winked at her behind them after greeting her warmly, Chang Ruijia held her forehead with her hand. This was simply an open conspiracy!
"Hey, big brother, is this your first time here?" Before Chang Ruijia could say anything, the stall owner next to him quickly took over and said, "This is our market's newest specialty. All you need is a small GoPro lens and a phone, and you can see everything happening under the sea with incredible clarity."
"It's true, it's true!!" The familiar little object almost made Hongta cry. If they had such a thing in their hands when the monster fish returned for the first time, most of their people would not have been lost in the sea.
While Hong Ta was getting excited, Chang Ruijia threatened Zhang Rui, who was obviously the one who came up with this idea, by sniping his neck.
In fact, GoPro cameras are not something that can be found everywhere in the market, and she didn't have many in stock at the time, so naturally they didn't flow into the market in large quantities.
However, the few remaining ones happened to appear right in front of her and Hongta while they were shopping. This was obviously the result of a deliberate arrangement.
Isn't it a bit too obvious? Chang Ruijia sighed helplessly in her heart, what if she really joined and people found out that it was not as rich as she imagined?
Don’t you have it? Although Zhang Rui’s eyes were not obvious, it clearly conveyed this meaning. After all, their market had a golden thigh that was “invincible with me”.
Fortunately, regardless of whether it is an open conspiracy or not, this method is the best strategy as long as it is effective.
Before they could finish walking down the street, when they saw Wu Jin, who had just finished negotiating with Lu Baian and came out to look for someone, Hong Ta let out a roar and pounced on him quickly.
"Boss, big boss, Captain Wu! Look at what they have in this market. Why don't we stay here?" Hong Ta looked at Wu Jin eagerly. "After all, the official is just news. I feel like this place is even better than the official one."
official?
Chang Ruijia and Lu Baian, who was standing behind Wu Jin, exchanged a glance. Wasn't this just another piece of information? They hadn't expected their ultimate goal to actually be heading towards the official base.
Any news from the official base?
This could be considered excellent news. For those who had been drifting alone on the sea for several months and shivering in various disasters, the news from the official base was like a timely rain that suddenly soothed everyone's hearts.
However, Chang Ruijia and Lu Baian did not show much expression.
Even if an official base appeared next to their market, they would still have to consider some things carefully. Didn’t they see that even a small team of a few people had to consider the possibility of joining an unfamiliar market, not to mention that this was a market that supported the livelihoods of hundreds of people.
But now, the most important thing is to keep such a team with good combat effectiveness.
"Since Captain Wu wants to have a good talk, why don't I gather our partners together?" Lu Baian said with a slight smile after seeing that the two people over there had calmed down.
"Okay," Wu Jin nodded in agreement. Although the final destination was slightly off, wasn't this the purpose of their trip?
Perhaps because Zhang Rui and the others had tipped off, within a few minutes of the gathering message being sent out, the place that had been designated as the gathering point was already full of people.
After all, choosing a market to inspect is not a trivial matter. In addition to himself, Wu Jin also brought two people who were used to giving him advice, one of whom was Hong Ta.
"You have quite a lot of partners," Hong Ta said with some surprise, looking at the young and old gathered in front of him. "It's like the United Nations."
"Don't mind it, he's just a little blunt, he doesn't really have any ill intentions," the person who came with Wu Jin quickly explained as his face changed when he heard Hong Ta's thoughtless words.
"It's okay, it's no big deal," Shifang didn't notice anything and waved his hand indifferently, indicating that he didn't take it to heart.
On the other hand, Yu Jianyi, who was pulled over to listen to the explanation, smiled at the person who was explaining, but the expression in his eyes was hard to tell.
While several people were getting to know each other and greeting each other, the main persons in charge, Lu Baian and Wu Jin, did not say anything. They just watched the two sides collide with each other, waiting for an opportunity to pause.
After all, making any decision is not a trivial matter. Other people may not need to worry about it for the time being, but for each other's managers, getting along still depends on the feelings conveyed to each other.
"Alright," Lu Baian interrupted as he watched the two groups gather on two floating objects, watching as the two groups made initial contact. "Everyone, let's do a brief introduction. You should all be aware of the specifics of this gathering, and you can bring forward any ideas you have now."
"My name is Hong Ta," Hong Ta spoke first, touching his head a little embarrassedly. "I didn't mean what I said just now. I'm just a rough guy, and sometimes I don't understand the intricacies of the rules. Oh, by the way, my float is made of small floral fabrics, which can be used to make fabric products."
"Brother Hong, I heard Sister Xiao Chang mention it, and now I finally see it." Zhong Yuan on the side responded with a smile.
Regardless of whether Chang Ruijia had mentioned this matter to them before, it was better to say something nice now than to just flatter them coldly.
"Hahahaha, my sister mentioned me to you guys before." Hong Ta laughed. "Don't worry, don't worry. I may not be able to tell you anything else, but as long as I can help, I will definitely not refuse."
Perhaps the conversation between Zhong Yuan and Hong Ta eased the atmosphere on both sides, and the subsequent self-introductions between the two sides seemed much more friendly.
Finally, both sides ended by introducing themselves as important people. Compared with the casual self-introductions of other members, these two seemed particularly formal.
"My name is Wu Jin. I was a professional armed police officer before I came here. Now I am here to negotiate with you as the captain of a broken team."
"My name is Lu Baian, one of the current market talkers."
When all the self-introductions were finished, the atmosphere in the entire conference area fell into an eerie silence. After all, it had been a long time since anyone had heard such serious introductions to each other.
"Ahem, um, what are we supposed to discuss?" Shi Fang started the conversation first. Seeing the people on both sides coughing uncomfortably, he said, "We can't just do this without any reason, right?"
Speaking of this matter, Wu Jin and the others had already made a plan.
"If we really want to discuss things like investing or joining your market, it's a bit unrealistic given the size of our companies," another person behind Wu Jin said awkwardly. "What we want to know most is how we'll be treated if we choose to join your market."
"Of course, it's the same as the other free people in the market," Shi Fang replied without hesitation. "Although we have established a market, we have always only provided a relatively free and safe space for dozens of other people. As for the rest, there are no major restrictions."
This probably wasn't what Wu Jin and the others wanted to hear, and they fell into silence again after hearing Shi Fang's answer.
"If we want to join any market as a free man, then honestly, any market we come across on the way will do the trick," Wu Jin shook his head. "This can't be a condition for us to join. Mr. Lu, I think you should understand."
After hearing Wu Jin's words, Lu Baian looked at the person behind him and immediately understood what the other person wanted to say.
Doesn't this mean they want the freedom to leave at any time, but also the preferential treatment given by the market? This seems a bit greedy. Currently, only the security team directly under the market can have such conditions.
However, after the other party asked the question without any reservation, Lu Baian and the others understood the scope of their negotiations. Now it was time to demonstrate their negotiation skills.
