Chapter 273 I won’t play with you anymore
"Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Zuo Xi. Ningguang has been doing regular physical examinations. Thanks to the late emperor, his physical condition has always been good."
Ningguang, who had recovered her condition, decided to return to the topic. Naturally, the reason why she invited the other party this time was to rebuild the Qunyu Pavilion.
Apart from the three key components of building Qunyu Pavilion, the most important thing is the internal mechanical structure. This is the key to Qunyu Pavilion as an aerial fortress.
Regarding Qun Yu Pavilion, Ning Guang did not intend to make any compromises in terms of materials, technology, appearance or structural design. The selection of materials, the skills of the craftsmen, the grandeur of the appearance and the exquisite structural design, she wants the best in everything.
The purpose of the soon-to-be-opened recruitment order is to gather the best materials through collective efforts. She also invited the best construction craftsmen in Liyue. In terms of appearance, the previous design was adopted. The previous shape was the result of her consultation with the top architectural design scholars invited from the Sahabara Academy through a letter written to the Ecclesiastical Council through her connections.
As for the structural design, it was originally planned to use the previous design. Because that design drawing was also designed by relevant scholars from the Order Academy. It can be said that at that time, the entire Teyvat might not be able to find a better design.
But now the situation is different. According to the information she has learned, there is a certain person whose mechanical attainments far exceed that of the Miao Lun sages of Xumi's time, and it is even difficult for anyone to compete with him in the entire history of Teyvat.
And that person is the executive officer in front of him. She didn't know what kind of special abilities the other party used to reach that level of mechanical power, but it was a fact that the other party's creation defeated the gods.
The method is not important, what is important is that the other party does have the strength and has relevant results.
Although the other party has a special status, after learning that there are better options, those so-called "wonderful designs" can only be regarded as make do in her opinion. And Ningguang is not a person who is willing to make do with things, not to mention this is one of the things she values most.
Therefore, the purpose of her inviting him over this time was to let him complete the design of the mechanical structure of Qun Yu Pavilion.
Of course, given the special identity of the other party, some precautions are still necessary. It doesn't matter if she doesn't understand the other party's methods, she just needs to sign a targeted contract. Having a contract as a back-up can at least guarantee the quality of the things designed by the other party, and also prevent the other party from leaving behind.
Ningguang is not worried about the other party's big mouth. She can afford the price. What she was worried about was that the other party would ignore her at all, so she would have to find another way.
In her original vision, it would be the most ideal situation to proceed with normal transactions. If that doesn't work, use confrontation as an excuse to let the other side take action. If that still doesn't work, put the confrontation on the table and let the other party use it as a bargaining chip.
In short, she has prepared many methods, and there is always one that will work.
"That being the case, I won't say much more. Just now Miss Ningguang asked me what you want, right?"
Nodding, Zuo Xi followed the other person's topic and got to the point. After playing the cliché game with each other for so long, it’s almost time for a perfect ending.
"My answer is, Miss Ningguang, your request... I accept it."
"I also expected that you wouldn't agree so easily...you, you just said, did you accept?"
From the meeting between the two parties to now, the expression on Ningguang's face briefly lost control for the first time. Emotions such as surprise, confusion and irritation flashed across her face.
She imagined countless possibilities and designed countless plans for it. The purpose is to be able to deal with the opponent's difficulties with ease.
But the other party agreed directly, which made all her previous preparations come to nothing. She tried all her tricks, but in the end, they didn't want to play with you at all.
Combined with the cooperation of the other party before, this kind of simple agreement now feels like a reward given by an elder to a child who makes him happy, but also like a hasty and perfunctory way of diverting attention after a parent has had enough fun with his child.
Well, I feel comfortable. That's the expression.
Zuo Xi, who caught the change of expression at that moment of condensation, showed a satisfied smile. He spent a lot of effort on the other person's expression in just this short moment.
Should it be said or not, Ningguang is indeed Ningguang. Even in this situation, he can quickly manage his expression, only letting his true expression show for a moment and then recover without any abnormalities.
But just such a moment was enough. What Zuo Xi wanted was to break through the defense in this moment.
The more difficult the challenge, the higher the sense of accomplishment will be after completing it. For a tough person like Ning Guang, the expression on his face when he was tortured to the point of breaking his defense was many times more interesting to Zuo Xi than the others.
"Then, Lord Ningguang, can we talk about your bargaining chip now?"
After satisfying his playfulness, Zuo Xi entered the negotiation mode as a businessman. His temperament changed. Although he still had a smile, his slightly narrowed eyes revealed a creepy light.
He readily agreed to the other party's transaction request, which was a reward and compensation for his expression at that moment. But the reward ends here, and he will not let anything go in the next trading session.
Zuo Xi naturally had an acceptable price in his heart, but the one who wanted to facilitate the deal was not him but Ningguang. As the party taking the initiative, you can better capture the benefits by letting the other party make the first offer.
Bargaining is also a skill, and when the other party is at a disadvantage, he must be careful when making an offer. You can neither give too high at once so that you will be taken advantage of, nor give too low so that the other party will mistakenly think you are not sincere.
At this time, the price given by the other party can reflect the other party's trading strategy and approximate base price to a certain extent.
"My master's mechanical talent is unparalleled in the world, but as the saying goes, it's hard to make a meal without rice. Without the right materials, even if you are a skilled craftsman, it is difficult to create a magic weapon.
The little girl is also involved in some ore business. If there are suitable materials in the future, how about providing them to the husband first? "
Ningguang frowned and considered for a long time, and finally gave the condition with a slight sigh. Whether it was the right expression of struggle on her face or the subtle hesitation in her eyes, they all showed how much concession she had made. Even Zuo Xi couldn't help but applaud the other party's shameless acting in his heart.
This face and acting skills are just as good as my own. As expected of a battle-hardened businessman, he was obviously a free man, but the other party seemed to be surprised at how much concessions he could make.
