2164_ take a bet

Zhang Feng: "... If I win the bet, you will personally write an article about all the information about the tung tree that you hung the petals on, including but not limited to why you refined the tung tree flower instead of the ice lotus flower this time. Tongmingguo, what rules are followed in the layout of these petals, what is the function of the little ice lotus on the top, the origin of the little ice lotus, what happened between you and Senior Wen Chengzhui in the Gu pool..."

I interrupted: "What does this have to do with Senior Wen?"

Zhang Feng: "Why, are you afraid? Now you're thinking about not being able to pay the bet?"

Yunxiazong hasn't made you cry for so long, you are starting to be arrogant again, aren't you?

Me: "If I win, then our previous agreement will be extended indefinitely. Now and in the future, as long as you inquire and report something related to me, you must get my consent. If I don't agree, you can't report a word. I can make the decision on your own, and I agree to your request; do I need to give you time to ask for instructions?"

Zhang Feng: "The prerequisite is that you can't secretly contact Senior Jiang directly or indirectly to ask him to cooperate with you."

Me: "Oh, do you want to use this one? If I want to secretly contact the elder brother, I will use the Yunxia Sect's internal network and I will rely on Ms. Yunxia's defense power. You will not be able to detect it even if you inquire about it. You may even suspect that I have already contacted you." Eldest brother, then, sign the contract. Sign in front of all the viewers of the live broadcast."

Zhang Feng: "Okay. In fact, not only do I suspect that you will collude with Senior Jiang in advance, I also suspect that when you ask him face to face, or when I ask him and you watch, you will make some secret signals to let Senior Jiang understand your Meaning. Between helping you or helping Bao inquire, he will definitely choose to help you. After all, even if he agrees in front of Bao inquire that all our reports about you are up to you, he can also point you out afterwards. If you don't like it but you need to let us report it, you actually still refer to his opinion when facing specific information, but you just say that you have full power to make decisions. In the end, you can still let your behavior take into account the overall situation, and you won't ask us. Lost face in front of you."

Me: "Wait a minute, the 'bet or not' I said at the beginning meant 'Eldest brother won't embarrass me in front of outsiders', the bet is between me and Bao Daqu, the elder brother will definitely help me Talk. Didn’t you admit it too? Then what’s the bet?”

Zhang Feng: "Then the bet is not fair, what do you think? I only win one column, but you win for an infinite amount of time, and the content of the bet is much more beneficial to you."

Me: "So, what kind of bet would you like instead? The point is, can you make the decision to bet with me and guarantee that you will fulfill the bet if you lose the bet? It doesn't make sense if you are the only one who doesn't report me."

Zhang Feng: "I have contacted my master. He has given me the guiding ideology, so I can make the decision. When we sign the contract later, my master's Linglisi will also come in to do the contract for me. guarantee."

Me: "What do you want if you win? What is the content of the bet?"

Zhang Feng: "If I win, whenever you become the focus of public topics in the future, you have to cooperate with us to do a report. The content of the bet is that neither of us will contact Senior Jiang, and a senior brother who keeps inquiring will contact Senior Jiang." Negotiate, ask him who our report on this tung tree was reviewed by Yunxiazong before it was published, is it you alone, or both of you. If he says it is you alone, you win, if he says it is you I win the two. Do you want to change your request to win the bet?"

Me: "You don't need to change it. If it's related to me, you can report it in the way I agree with you only if I agree with you."

Zhang Feng: "Wait a minute, let me confirm, to what extent is it 'relevant' to you? Doesn't this scope include everything owned by the Yunxia Sect and everything that is not considered a friend of the Yunxia Sect?"

Me: "Then let me also confirm, what is the degree of 'cooperation' in 'cooperating with you in reporting'? Will you also let you know about the important events that should only be archived in the Yunxia Sect?"

Zhang Feng and I looked at each other through the communicator, and we both knew that the upper and lower limits of the connotation of this contract fluctuated too much. No matter who wins, the specific implementation of this contract will be full of back-and-forth.This thing is nothing more than a little advantage for Tugsaw to rely on - the foundation-building period involves the contract of the sect, how binding is it?

Zhang Feng walked up to me in a turbulent illusion that could collapse at any time, and took out a contract paper of Jindan level.

I partially blocked the communication between the two of us. This time, I blocked the live broadcast and the people around me to the same extent, so that neither the content of our speech nor the content on the contract paper will be known to anyone other than the two of us— —The shielding level is directly equal to the Yunxiazong defensive array, Zhang Feng still doubts that I will cheat, so he added another layer of Jindan level shielding cover.

Me: "At your level, even the senior brother can't defend against it alone, let alone ask the senior brothers and sisters in the Nascent Soul stage to help investigate. It's meaningless."

Zhang Feng had a serious face: "Please rest assured."

2166_ Negotiation skills

Me: "Is this bet very important to you?"

Zhang Feng: "If I win, there will be a lot of headlines. I caught the headlines in advance."

Me: "You don't think about my winning?"

Zhang Feng: "To be honest, even if you don't make that request, we don't dare to report too much on you Yunxia Sect disciples. We haven't come out of the trembling shadow of being educated by Huiguda, Elder Pei, and Elder Qi. And senior Jiang Weixiao is really difficult to deal with."

Me: "Oh, so if you win, you will make a lot of money, and if you lose, you will lose very little."

Zhang Feng: "It's you who didn't change the winning requirements of the bet, and the bet is still more beneficial to you now, because you know Senior Jiang better, and it's easier to guess his reaction to things about you, and we are in public Sign the contract, even if you abide by the content of the contract and don't tell or hint to Senior Jiang in any way before the bet is won or lost, he may still guess something because of what he knows about you and Bao Inquiry."

Me: "Then it depends on the speaking skills of the senior you selected to negotiate this matter with the senior brother."

I wrote in the first sentence of the contract that I will not contact the senior brother to expressly or implicitly affect the outcome of the bet.

Zhang Feng asked to add: "Senior Jiang took the initiative to contact you and mentioned the contract, you can't give him hints. Although we may not be able to find out the communication between the two of you, but with so many viewers, someone will find out .”

Me: "Eldest brother, if there is a communication, can I not accept it? I don't think I can hide it from him when the elder brother brought it up."

After discussing with Bao inquiring about other people, Zhang Feng agreed: "Then don't answer the communication."

Later I learned that when Zhang Feng and I were just starting to write the contract, Bao contacted him to inquire about the case of Jindan at its peak—the way I learned about it was that the elder brother showed me their communication records .

At that time, after the communication was connected, Gao's case got straight to the point: "We will definitely do a large-scale report on the fortune-teller competition, in which Pei Lin, especially his tung tree, will occupy a prominent position. Are you watching the live broadcast too? Our family Junior Brother Zhang Feng is discussing with Pei Lin the specific content that can be reported, and I want to ask you, after the two of them have reached an agreement, will our report follow what they talked about, or will you check it out?"

The eldest brother said: "I will think about it."

Case Gao: "Could it be faster? You know, the reports are hot. It's best to let the readers who want to watch buy the reports as soon as the fortune-teller's competition is over, because after that time point, they may lose interest. , I don’t want to buy it. Other sections are easy to talk about. In fact, we have collected and organized almost all the information. It’s no problem to send out the report when the illusion collapses. Only Pei Lin is the only one. To be honest, you, Elder Huigu, Elder Pei Staring, we don't dare to talk nonsense, we have to read it for you, so, give us a convenience and make a decision earlier? Or I will pass the information to you now, and you and Pei Lin will read it at the same time? This can save half the time. "

2167_ think about it

Gao An: "Or if you just say that you don't want to watch it, we will only focus on Pei Lin's side, and we will deal with other matters along the way, without considering you, which will save trouble. Otherwise, this is the first time that Pei Lin is so big. For a wide and long public appearance, Elder Pei also needs to take a look at the report before it comes out? Then I really beg you to tell us quickly, or the time will not catch up. Sigh, I should have communicated with you earlier, but I didn’t think of Pei Lin beforehand. I was able to have such a sense of presence in the fortune-teller competition, but I was so busy collecting and sorting out the information later that I lost my head, and now I realize that I didn’t confirm it. It was a mistake in our work, I’m sorry, but I can only trouble you to reply to us as soon as possible.”

Big brother: "I'll think about it."

Gao An: "What exactly are you thinking about? Since when have you been so indecisive in doing things?" Gao An's cultivation level is slightly higher than that of the senior brother, and he can be a little less polite when speaking, which is one of the reasons for choosing Gao An for this matter. One—this kind of communication cannot be done by the elders of Bao Diao, and the peak of Jindan is the highest cultivation that Bao Diao can choose.

Senior Brother: "Junior Brother Pei doesn't like others making decisions for him."

Case Gao: "Then you can ask him now. Although the communication signal with the Illusory Territory is very poor, you should still have a way to contact Pei Lin?"

Big brother: "I know what kind of answer I will get when I ask him."

Gao An: "Then what's the problem?"

Big brother: "His answer will be, if necessary, let me decide."

Case Gao: "...Isn't this very good? It's reasonable. And I think you should really check this matter. Pei Lin doesn't know what will be triggered after our report is released. As far as I know, he sees things in a simple way. .”

Eldest Brother: "But I'm still thinking about whether I really need to check it out. Although Junior Brother Pei sees things as simple, sometimes, the simple way can get straight to the point."

Gao An: "Then you don't need to be careful, he has the final say on everything."

Eldest brother: "But this time, there are too many involved. Can 'simple' cut the mess quickly?"

Gao An: "Jiang Daoyou, are you kidding me?"

Big Brother: "How come? I'm just a little hesitant."

Gao An: "Isn't this just playing me?"

Eldest brother: "You don't understand, Junior Brother Pei has a special place in my heart, I can't help but think more about his affairs."
