Take the arsenal to Da Ming

Chapter 120 Fighting Negotiation

"Mr. Tang, we came here with the most sincere sincerity. If you are not satisfied with the terms we offer, then Mr. Tang, you can talk about your terms yourself. As long as they are reasonable, we can consider them."

Jia Long didn't want to increase the price bit by bit, so he wanted to find out Tang Ning's bottom line first, so he threw the question to Tang Ning.

Tangning pondered for a while, then leaned forward, and said seriously, "Your federal province of the Netherlands is a country of merchants."

"Businessman, no matter what you do, the first thing you focus on is profit. Now we are negotiating the same way, it is the exchange of benefits."

"In that case, let's just talk about the exchange of benefits."

As soon as Tangning's words came out, Jialong had a bad feeling, but he had to admit that Tangning's words were very reasonable.

Tang Ning continued, "If the negotiation between us fails this time, then One Piece of the Caribbean will continue to act."

"As long as your business activities in the Far East continue, you will suffer at least 100 million taels of loss every month, or even more."

"This is only the most direct loss. If the Caribbean One Piece cuts off your route, making it impossible for your colonies to communicate effectively, the indirect loss will definitely be greater."

"In addition, the Portuguese have requested to unite with us, and want to take back the colonies that you snatched from the Portuguese, such as Manraga and Ceylon."

"The Portuguese are offering good terms, but we are not sure about working with them yet."

"If we can't reach an agreement in the end, then we are still enemies. In that case, we can only cooperate with the Portuguese."

Sure enough, every time Tangning said something, Jia Long's heart trembled, as if he had been hit by a fatal wound, his expression was cloudy.

Especially when it comes to the Portuguese, the hearts of Garon and others are even more turbulent. If the two sides really start that kind of cooperation, it will definitely be a disaster for the Dutch.

Although the Portuguese are not as powerful as the Dutch in the Far East, the difference is not too great. Otherwise, the Portuguese would have been driven away by them.

But if a strong new army is added, they will gather forces to defeat each other. Except for the strong Batavia, there are a few places that are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and other strongholds will be very dangerous.

Tangning deliberately paused, stared at Jia Long and the others for a while, and then continued:

"If I stop the Caribbean One Piece, and our new army refuses to join forces with the Portuguese to attack you Dutch, the exchange of interests between them, I will offer 1000 million taels, which should be more reasonable."

Hearing this astronomical figure, Jialong almost couldn't help but slap Tangning in the face, but he finally gritted his teeth and held back.

Jia Long tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and tried his best to calmly say: "The annual tax revenue of the entire Ming Dynasty is not 1000 million taels."

"If we pay 1000 million taels and let people wipe out your new army, I believe there will be many people in the Ming Dynasty, such as Zheng Yiguan."

Tangning wasn't frightened at all, but said calmly, "I don't believe it. Our new army is the most capable of fighting in Daming. Zheng Zhilong is not good at it. If he could destroy my new army, he would have done it long ago."

"Besides, even if my Chaozhou capital is captured, at worst I will join the Portuguese to go to Manlaga, Ceylon, or even Batavia."

"There are so many places, I can't go anywhere. I, Tangning, didn't have anything in the first place. I also came from a bandit background. At worst, I'll start over."

Stunned and afraid of violence, fear of death, Jialong has learned what it means to not eat oil and salt.

"You invested so much money in Chaozhou, and there are so many people who support you, I don't believe you are willing to give up. If you withdraw overseas, how many people can you take away?"

"Mr. Tang, I hope you can show more sincerity. We can't solve the problem by intimidating each other."

Tangning was also happy, and said directly, "Okay, then I'll take a step back, 800 million taels, no less."

Jialong was expressionless, shook his head and refused, "You don't have to pay back the 200 million taels you borrowed, and we can pay another 150 million taels."

Tangning immediately yelled, "Don't tell me about the damn 200 million again. That 200 million is just a deposit you gave me. When you sneak up on me, that 200 million has nothing to do with you."

"So, pay me another 800 million taels, this is the bottom line for the negotiation to continue."

Jia Long's voice also became louder: "Mr. Tang, we haven't seen any sincerity in your negotiations. The price you offered is too outrageous. This is impossible."

"I think the exchange of interests, the price is very reasonable, my concession is worth so much money."

"My God, you guy who only knows how to bid at random, do you know that 800 million taels can buy the current city."

"You idiot who only has money in his eyes, you don't know how much trouble 800 million taels can save you."

Hearing that Tang Ning was swearing, Jia Long was no longer polite. He stood up directly, leaning on the table with both hands, and shouted:
"Damn 800 million, can 800 million taels make you, a damn bastard, never appear in the sea where we don't want you to appear?"

"Can you guarantee it? How long can you guarantee it? Ten years? Five years? Or one year?"

"Then you can give me 400 million taels first, and pay 400 million taels a year for the remaining 100 million taels. In this way, it can be guaranteed for at least five years."

"Damn 800 million taels, impossible, impossible, you know what idiot? We will give you another 200 million taels at most, this is the final limit."

"If there is more, we would rather take the money to cooperate with Zheng Yiguan. Together, we are enough to screw your idiot's head off."

Hearing this, Tangning pulled back the chair and walked outside. The moment he was about to leave, he turned around and said, "Since we have such a big difference, there's no need to talk any more. You can leave."

"I'm waiting for you and Zheng Zhilong to jointly attack us, and you should also wait for our joint attack with the Portuguese."

After finishing speaking, Tangning walked out, and Song Yunwan and the others followed suit, leaving Jia Long and a group of people standing there stunned.

"Bastard, idiot, damn bastard, I'm going to screw his head off." A person beside Jialong couldn't bear it any longer, and cursed in Dutch.

Others also began to chatter, all venting the incomparable anger in their hearts.

"If I had a musket in my hand just now, I would have blown his head off."

"One win has already made the damn guy feel like the best, and we have to make him pay for that stupid confidence."

"He's going to regret it, he has to regret it, this guy is so defiant."

"He took the money we lent him, developed his army, and then came and attacked us, we can't do that anymore."

"I don't trust his assurances either, I'd rather throw money in the ocean than give it to him, bloody bastard."

In this way, the Dutch headed by Garon, after scolding for a while, walked out with great anger.
