Chapter 778 Cannon Fodder in the Real World (24)
"Mr. Shi is ill, and the situation is not very good now. In front of us is Baron Bay, and our ship has to pass through it.
There has been serious armed internal strife in Baron Bay recently, and any ship passing by needs to dock for negotiation.
Mr. Shi had made arrangements before, but the Baron reactionary alliance opened fire again tonight. Now the mouth of the inner bay is in chaos, and we need to dock for further negotiations.
Mr. Jiang, I wonder if you can represent Mr. Shi..."
"Well, okay."
The assistant breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's good, then you have to prepare now. The ship will dock soon. What to do next is up to your command."
Leave it to your own command.
How sick is Shi Yubai?
"How is the situation, Mr. Shi?"
"The doctor said it was acute gastroenteritis and required anesthesia. When we found out, Shi always fainted from the pain. I really had no choice."
Jiang Lai nodded.
"I understand. Let people take care of Mr. Shi and leave the rest to me."
Jiang Lai has done business in this area. Although he had negotiated on the computer before, he still had experience.
When she disembarked, she found that all crew members had donned body armor and boxes of weapons had been moved onto the deck.
Jiang Lai also put on a body armor, and the assistant handed her a gun.
"Mr. Jiang, under normal circumstances there will be no problem, you just need to sign.
After signing, we set off immediately. ”
Just as he was about to set off, he heard footsteps behind him, followed closely by Jiang Xun and Jiang Zhuan.
"Let's go together too."
As soon as the assistant heard this, he started to dissuade him.
"There may be unexpected situations during the negotiations. It would be better for you two to wait on the ship."
Jiang Zhuan spoke firmly and looked at Jiang Lai with a wary expression.
"We want to go together."
Jiang Lai smiled.
These two boys are worried that they will collude with each other and attack their goods secretly.
Two idiots.
"If you want to leave, hurry up."
Jiang Xun and Jiang Zhuanlian quickly put on their body armor.
Jiang Lai got on the yacht and took the brothers and several crew members ashore.
There are container-style houses on the shore. From the outside, it looks dark inside.
The car was already waiting at the shore. It was the person arranged by Shi Yubai and the company's staff in Balong.
"Mr. Jiang, we have already made an agreement with the alliance leader, you just need to sign it."
Jiang Lai was surrounded and walked to the first container.
A group of well-armed Union soldiers saw them and went in to report.
After waiting for about three minutes, a man wearing sunglasses and a local military uniform walked out with a cigar in his mouth. He looked Jiang Lai up and down, and then said something to the soldiers beside him.
The local Baron language is quite complicated and difficult to understand, the translator whispered to Jiang Lai.
"This is the deputy leader of the Alliance Army. He just said why Mr. Shi didn't come."
"Well, tell him that I am Mr. Shi's sister and one of the people in charge of this business operation."
The translator went over to negotiate with the other party.
The two of them spoke loudly and very fast, and Jiang Xun laughed and whispered in a low voice.
"What are these two talking about?"
At this time, the translator came over and told Jiang Lai.
"Mr. Jiang, they said that the anti-alliance forces now control a section of the bay. If our ship wants to pass, we need to pay them a sum of money so that they can protect us from crossing the bay."
"If I remember correctly, the money has already been paid. If you want it now, you have to find a legitimate name."
Jiang Lai's attitude was relatively calm.
It's okay to ask for money, but you have to find some tricks, otherwise you'll treat her as a big grievance.
Jiang Xun on the side looked at Jiang Lai in disbelief.
"What are you talking about? You've already given me money and you still say something like this. If he really wants to find another name to ask for money, do you really want to give it to him?"
Jiang Xun always thought that Jiang Lai was a smart man with some brains.
Listening to her say this now, she doesn't sound like a sane person.
Jiang Lai looked at him.
"So, you have a better way? If you have a better way, that's fine, you go and negotiate."
Jiang Xun shook his head and stood next to her.
"Are you kidding? I am Party A. How can Party B ask Party A to do the work? Hurry up and negotiate quickly and don't waste time. If you delay for one more day, you will lose hundreds of thousands more."
Jiang Lai ignored him.
"Tell him that we can deal with the anti-Alliance forces outside by ourselves. What they have to do now is to open the mouth of the bay as agreed."
The translator chatted a few words with the leader again.
When the other party heard this, his eyes suddenly became more ferocious.
At this time, the translator turned around and whispered to Jiang Li.
"They said that the civil war needs financial assistance, and you have to give them money before they can let you go."
Jiang Lai looked at her and raised the corners of his mouth.
"These coalition forces were not so greedy before. Are you sure that's what they meant?"
The translator hesitated for a second, then nodded without changing his expression.
"Yes, the other party's attitude is very determined, and now they have more people and we have fewer people. I suggest you agree to their request and leave here as soon as possible."
"Oh, where did you learn Balong?"
When the translator heard this, he was stunned for a second, then calmed down and said without changing his expression.
"I have lived in Balong for ten years. Don't worry, I will never make a mistake in translation."
"There will be no translation errors? Then why do I feel that what you said to him and what you said to us have different meanings."
"Mr. Jiang, I don't understand what you mean."
"Well, it's okay if you don't understand..."
After speaking, Jiang Lai walked directly to the leader with a smile, then folded his hands on his chest and bowed.
When the translator saw it, his expression suddenly changed.
This gesture is a greeting gesture only used by the Balon royal family. It is impossible for people who have not lived in Balon to know it.
But it's also possible that Jiang Lai did his homework in advance.
The language in a place as small as Balong is so obscure and difficult to understand. People living in three languages can be found in one area. It is not that easy to communicate with these people.
She may be deceiving herself...
In a state of nervousness and panic, what Jiang Lai said next directly broke her last bit of luck.
A string of fluent Baron came out of her mouth.
In an instant, everyone present was shocked.
Even the leader raised his eyebrows in disbelief.
Jiang Xun behind him stared at Jiang Lai in surprise, hearing her speaking Baron as fluently as her native language and couldn't believe it at all.
Not long after, Chief Balon laughed heartily, then shook hands with Jiang Lai and nodded.
From this look, you can tell that they have reached a consensus.
Jiang Lai turned around and saw that the female translator just now had been controlled.
Seeing Jiang Lai coming over, she said in a panic.
"I was forced. Someone forced me to do this, but I couldn't help it!"
"Well, it takes a total of five minutes to walk from here to the boat, so you have five minutes to explain today's situation to me." (End of Chapter)
