Struggle in the Steam Age

"Ah, I haven't drank it for a long time." After taking out a few pieces of candy from the space bag and stirring them, Lawrence took a big sip, letting the mellow taste spread from the tip of the tongue to the base of the tongue. "It tastes really good, and it's far better than the milk tea I bought on the street in that world."

"This is inevitable." At this time, the little doll was also very lady kneeling on the table and drinking the milk tea in her cup in a more elegant posture than Lawrence. "Whether the milk tea you bought before has milk and tea in it is a problem. Except for sugar, it is probably all flavors. How can it compare with my pure natural milk tea?"

It was not too early after drinking the milk tea, and a tauren knocked on the door to inform them to have breakfast. So Nora took the pile of things piled on the table into the astral plane and the two of them went out for breakfast. In the temporary dining room, he also met the members of the mission who looked a little dizzy.

Although the quality of wine made by tautou people with honey, cassava and some wild fruits is indeed good, and the alcohol content is not as high as distilled wine. But because the atmosphere at the bonfire last night was really good, and the tauren people were really enthusiastic enough. So it was almost inevitable that everyone had a hangover this morning when everyone drank a lot.

Fortunately, the tauren shaman has some special herbs that can solve this problem, and in order not to affect the negotiation and work during the day, all the members of the delegation who drank yesterday except Lawrence drank this dark green like one. Recipe for mass mud. Judging from their wrinkled faces, the potion should not taste very good.

The next two days of small-scale individual contact work. Lawrence negotiated and reached some simple cooperation agreements with the representatives of the Tauren tribe who were relatively close here so they had arrived in time. At the same time, a temporary training class was opened to train the witch doctors and shamans of the tauren.

This time reflects the importance of Lawrence bringing doctors, veterinarians and agricultural technicians. For settlements of semi-agricultural, semi-fishing and hunting peoples like the Tauren tribe, the knowledge held by these technicians is very important to them, and can even be related to the life and death of a tribe.

At the same time, thanks to the help of these technicians, a large number of problems encountered by the tauren people have been solved. In fact, many of the problems they encountered before have become non-issues in the outside world, but because of their previously closed environment so that they do not know the changes outside, they are still troubled by those simple problems.

On the other hand, they have indeed learned a lot of methods from contact with humans in history. It is a pity that a large part of these methods cannot be used at all after leaving the foreign trade. For example, the drugs needed for the malaria epidemic in this area are not available on the island, so even if you know how to treat it, you can't follow those methods.

Three days later, the little class that Lawrence and the others opened stopped. This is not because they have finished teaching all the knowledge, but because the surrounding tauren chiefs have all come together, and the formal contact meeting between humans and tauren can finally be officially held.

The main goal of this meeting is to allow both parties to reach a comprehensive cooperation. After the previous contacts between the two sides, both humans and tauren have a certain understanding of each other. Therefore, both races are eager to deepen cooperation with each other in order to promote the common development of both sides. In order to cooperate, both sides need to determine a lot of things in advance.

The good news is that both parties sincerely hope to cooperate with each other. Therefore, it is very smooth when reaching an agreement. Especially the tauren themselves belong to that kind of very honest race. When they say what clauses reach their bottom line, it will be true. They will not need to negotiate repeatedly to find out where the bottom line is like humans do.

Therefore, according to the different negotiation objects, Lawrence and the human delegation naturally adjusted the method of negotiation. The entire negotiation process was quickly simplified to the fact that the two sides took turns to raise their own questions and then said whether they agreed. If you agree, record it, and if you disagree, you will re-submit your opinion in the next round.

At least 95% of the content of the discussion can be reached in two or three mutual compromises and concessions, and the remaining half is recorded and prepared for detailed negotiations or simply put some non-core disputes on hold, and wait until We will discuss after further cooperation.

Although everything went smoothly enough, the negotiations also lasted for more than two days. When negotiations on the last important issue were over, everyone on both sides of the negotiating table breathed a sigh of relief. Humans breathed a sigh of relief because although such negotiations are fast enough, they are very intense, and sometimes even a matter must be decided within a few minutes. Therefore, everyone's nerves were tense during the previous negotiations, and now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief after the talks.

As for the tauren people, it was enough for them to meet and fight with goblins before, or to reach a verbal agreement after simple negotiations when they faced their compatriots, like these two days to come up with a big deal. It is too complicated for them to look through the very detailed documents of the heap plan and to figure out the contents.

"I swear that I have never seen such a complicated content for discussion in my life for more than 70 years." After the negotiation, as the leader and representative of the group of tauren people, the man has a pair of huge sickle-like horns. The old tauren shaman with white hair all over his body said to Lawrence with a smile, "Fortunately, the spirit of nature told me that these contracts are all fair, so I only need to analyze the superficial meaning of these words."

"Of course, the reason why we have to negotiate is because we want to reach an agreement that can benefit both of us, rather than allowing one side to benefit and the other to lose." Lawrence said this from the heart, and it was true before departure. Some retainers suggested to him to make an agreement that was more beneficial to him, but Lawrence directly rejected it.

On the one hand, the Three Views created by his education in the previous life made it difficult for him to formulate a fraudulent agreement for the innocent. On the other hand, he subconsciously felt that since the tauren was on this island, he was his own person~www.ltnovel.com~ Facing his own scams and abductions, it was definitely a matter of lack of vision.

And now Lawrence feels very fortunate, because he really did not expect this group of tauren people to be able to contact the spirit of nature, and it is impossible to guess that although they cannot understand the important content of these contracts, they can pass some kind of supernatural The power of testing the rationality of these contracts.

The mutually beneficial contract that Lawrence had prepared before was a good return. Even if this group of tauren people had not been able to fully understand the contract that Lawrence gave before. But they now believe that Lawrence is a reliable human being and are determined to reach full cooperation with the group of humans represented by Lawrence.

"It's just that I have a kind of worry now, that is how we can achieve mutual benefit." The tauren chief said with a little worry. "We Tauren have too few commodities for sale, so I am a little worried about the imbalance in trade between the two sides, which will cause various problems.

"What you said is correct, just relying on your current labor output and a small amount of timber exports will definitely not be able to achieve the trade balance between our two sides." Lawrence nodded and said, "but we have now found a new one from you. Once developed, the products will not only satisfy the trade balance between our two sides, but also make you wealthy."
