Chapter 602 March
"Of course we still need to talk about this matter." Luke said softly: "But next, from what position will you talk to us?"
Luke looked at the embarrassed Samuel and smiled slightly: "We don't have to pretend to be innocent here. Everyone's bottom line and everyone's basic purpose has been found out."
"The people behind Ursula want trade privileges and technical exchanges."
"The main purpose of Revell coming here is to make his reputation sound bigger. So what he wants is your approval and your praise. There must be specific benefits, but relatively speaking, he can put it aside a little bit. put."
Revel coughed twice in embarrassment after hearing this. He said this as if he was putting his own interests above the interests of the country and mankind. This is so ugly to say. Can this be said as the truth?
Luke didn't pay attention to Revell's little thoughts. Don't be afraid to say something if you dare to do it. If you're afraid to say it, don't do it.
"All Liu Nian wants is profit, and he doesn't lack anything else. So we have to leave him a share of everything we discuss here. Of course, we can reduce it appropriately. After all, if he wants to have more varieties, he needs more quantity. Come down to me."
Liu Nian noticed the way Samuel looked at him, so he smiled and raised his glass towards Samuel.
"Lilith also wants more fame. But she also wants benefits, so she has both, but neither to an exaggerated level."
Lilith didn't speak, this was considered an agreed upon matter. She needs a good-looking resume, so she needs to get enough praise at this meeting. In fact, interests are secondary. The high evaluation given by other countries is also something that must be fought for.
"As for the balance of their interests, naturally I used the interests of those represented by Fleur and Chris to balance it."
Samuel looked at Fleur and Chris who looked calm. They didn't seem to think it was too much for Luke to take advantage of their interests.
Finally, Samuel's eyes fell on Luke. The young man now had a slight smile on his face. For some reason, Samuel always felt like he saw a little bit of sarcasm in his polite smile.
"Samuel, I spent a lot of time and energy to get this result that everyone can be satisfied with. I think no matter how much you don't respect other people's interests, you have to respect my efforts. ."
"This meeting itself is a meeting of exchange of interests. Although the people here are asking for it, they will also give you some conveniences accordingly. If the operation is good, the other side may suffer more. And now you are still thinking about letting We relax the conditions.”
Luke leaned his back on the chair, then looked up at Samuel.
"Then how about you talk about it yourself? Or...I want to break through your bottom line, what can you do?"
"Do you need me to withdraw my people from the American wizarding world first?",
Of course Samuel wanted to say, 'There are such good things! 'After all, compared to the Saints, the momentum Luke's men are making in the United States now makes their Magic Congress appear more passive.
But he really didn't dare to say this. After all, being a saint is no big deal. But once Luke's men withdraw, what if Grindelwald can't bear it anymore?
Everyone is really going to be kicked out of the situation.
Samuel took a deep breath, and then said: "Then I understand. I will try my best to coordinate the next thing with the country. And then finalize it as soon as possible."
Luke nodded when he heard this and said: "We are not a burden to you, Mr. Kohaug. Please understand this, we have tried our best to make it convenient for you."
As he spoke, Luke pointed his finger at everyone present and said: "You have to understand that everyone present is a representative of one party or even several parties, but everyone is also a human being and has his own needs. People. As long as their own needs are met, everyone is still willing to spend more time with the forces behind them. After all, although there are conditions above, the conditions are also flexible. "
"So, everyone is trying to help you as much as possible. After all, the Saint is not just your enemy. He is the common enemy of everyone. Therefore, please don't make things difficult for us anymore."
Luke said this sincerely, Samuel nodded naturally, and then took Luke's words as a fart.
The first half of this statement is true. Luke Gunter probably really satisfied some of the personal interests of these representatives. After all, Luke Gunter has a lot to offer. More importantly, people can really make their own decisions.
Samuel initially thought that Luke Gunter was just the owner of a company. It is normal for the owner of the company to be able to do it. And although they are only representatives, they represent the Ministry of Magic of a country, which does not seem to be of the same magnitude at all.
But Samuel soon reacted. Although, no matter how nice what he said, the obedience of the British Ministry of Magic and the French Ministry of Magic was not false. From this perspective. Maybe the Corporation is bigger than the Ministry of Magic?
Will companies from various countries control the power of the entire magical world in the future?
How strange...
Samuel felt that his brain was a bit out of use.
But now Samuel also knew that he had no other choice. No matter how fanciful Luke Gunter said, he could not hide the fact that he simply did not intend to give in.
The meeting finally ended. But no one knows if there are any other tricks behind it. So until the conditions are negotiated but not really put on paper, everyone still has to live together.
After getting along with each other for so many days, everyone has become quite familiar with each other. But they really can't play together enough. Only Luke Gunter can talk to everyone. This guy is now no different from a god in the eyes of these representatives. You can give your own opinion on everything.
But this is also because the representatives’ ideas and hobbies are not too unique. It is nothing more than a basic aristocratic movement. Battle beasts, watch Quidditch and stuff like that. The lives of wizard nobles are much more boring than those of Muggle nobles. After all, Muggle nobles have studied the matter of enjoyment more deeply.
Everyone also knew that no matter what they wanted, Luke Gunter definitely got what he wanted. He transferred a lot of benefits. This only shows that what he wants is not these things. It's not that he is really generous enough and even willing to give up his own interests.
"I originally thought that everyone's negotiations would be more intense."
Fleur sat on the sofa in the room, holding black tea and looking at Luke seriously.
Luke's expression was relatively calm, and he said calmly: "The negotiation should actually be very intense. After all, if everyone stands on an absolute national stand, then there are many interests that are irreconcilable."
Fleur nodded. Comparing the conditions she offered with those offered by other countries, the British wizard might really call her a traitor. But it didn't matter to her. After all, she was a French girl.
Moreover, these conditions were all imposed by Luke, and they really didn't have much to do with her.
"It's important to distinguish between the negotiator and the forces behind the negotiator." Luke said seriously. "Everyone has their own selfish desires. When they complete their tasks, their selfish desires may not be fully satisfied. But Working with us is different. Working with us, we can customize to satisfy all selfish desires. On this basis, we will not make their tasks too ugly."
"So, in the end they often choose to cooperate, and then you can direct the results to what you want to see?"
Fleur did understand Luke's operating logic. But I still can’t learn this. First of all, it is impossible to learn how to judge what the other party wants. Then whether we can give the other party what they want is another question. What's more, you have to make sure that the other party doesn't have the courage to trick you. This means that you have to be strong enough.
But to be fair, people or forces with such abilities have many means to achieve their ideas even without negotiation. Negotiation has become one of the options.
all in all……
"This is not an experience at all..." Furong complained ruthlessly, "Such an experience has no effect on people whose eyesight is not up to standard. Not everyone can be like you and can easily see through other people's emotions. It can also make everyone take action. It can also provide benefits that satisfy everyone."
Luke grinned when he heard this: "I'll just think you're complimenting me."
Fleur shook her head helplessly. If she really wanted to say it, she was really praising Luke. After all, these things are true, and Luke did. All I can say is that comparing people to each other makes people angry.
"What are your plans next?"
"I have no plans. We are just waiting for news now. Although we have agreed a lot now, the idiots in the Ministry of Magic of various countries must still want to modify the conditions at all times. Do you think that only the MACUSA has proposed modifications to the existing conditions? ?How can it be……"
Luke sneered: "It goes without saying that those politicians are greedy and shameless. They will not give up easily until the last moment. They will also euphemistically call this 'political uncertainty.' It's really true. Shameless."
Luke hated this way of changing things day and night to cause trouble to others. However, he also knew that the politicians' appearance was normal. After all, it is a good thing to pay every penny for diplomatic interests.
Because of this, Luke knew that he could definitely be a good politician. But I definitely don’t want to be a good politician.
"No one else mentioned it."
Fleur said suspiciously. Not that she doubted Luke's correctness. But I wonder if others have other ideas.
"The benefits given are enough to make a living. And the few people present are not workers who can be suppressed by just any superior. Ursula has the lowest rank and the lowest backer. But she is very tough. No matter what I say, as long as If I go against the Saints, then she will support me.”
Luke said calmly: "Only a group of people like this can talk about their dignity in front of the leaders. Otherwise, the process of this meeting will be even more tortuous."
Fleur nodded, finally understanding the truth behind these things. Although she was familiar with this thing from the beginning. But the understanding of the essence of this thing is really not as clear as Luke said.
"There is news from outside that the capture plan seems to have failed."
Fleur changed the topic to their own affairs. Luke nodded and said: "It's normal. It's not that easy to catch. The results seem to be good. It deserves recognition."
If catching Baxter Enwy was really that simple, Grindelwald wouldn't really worry about Baxter Enwy making trouble outside alone. But with such an attack, Baxter Envi could rest for a while. Although the plan is still going smoothly. But it has to be said that the people under Baxter Envi are like a swarm of flies, annoying people all the time.
After this operation, the progress of the plan should be accelerated a lot. This is a good thing. And Luke was satisfied enough.
"As long as you think it's OK." Fleur didn't really care about this, so she pulled Luke to chat about other trivial matters. Luke didn't stay bored and talked to Fleur. The communication between the two was pretty good.
………………
Things really don't go according to common sense. Representatives from all parties withstood the pressure. And Samuel quickly took care of Gladys and others. Again, although the current conditions are painful, they are not so severe that all parties are hurt.
Although they also realize that the current situation will definitely make the American wizarding world an absolute soft persimmon in terms of overall strength. But they were originally soft in this regard. They were just a little softer, which really didn't delay anything.
So eventually, after just one day, Samuel called another meeting. But this time, the negotiated terms were finally settled on paper.
Luke stretched, then stood up and stamped his seal on the three pieces of parchment on the table.
“With this, the witness is complete.”
........................
According to common sense, the specific actions after the negotiation will involve a lot of interests. But this time, everyone moved out surprisingly quickly and in a surprisingly unified manner.
Auror troops from all parties had been assembled within a week. They arrived in the American wizarding world at about the same time. Then he came to the front line against the Saints in an orderly manner.
The Aurors on the front line were very happy to see it, and their spirits finally rose.
The Auror Combined Forces were sharpening their knives and could engage in a massive battle with the Saints at any time.
In other words, they will bulldoze the last bastion of the Saints.
After all, the difference in numbers is really too big.
"The current situation is very unfavorable to us. Although everyone took a break before. But if the protective circle is activated again, the effect will not be as good as before."
Orson said helplessly: "And the opponent's current number of people has exceeded the defense limit of the protective circle."
After all, this is just a family used to defend against enemies. No noble wants to be the enemy of the whole world and be surrounded and suppressed by the entire wizarding world.
Orson really has no choice now. A clever woman cannot make a meal without rice, and the simple difference in numbers prevented him from thinking of any better operation plan.
