## Chapter 197 – Negotiation Results
William Ruzgard and his lover, Scarlett, were able to meet the president as soon as they arrived in South Africa, thanks to his connections.
“Let’s get the contract stamped within this week and start the facility construction right away. Scarlett, how’s the preparation?”
“All done. We can start construction as soon as we secure the contract.”
“Good job.”
William smiled contentedly at Scarlett’s report. He had already grasped the situation of the other teams through his parents. Their capabilities, and even the cards they could play.
‘They’re all under me. This game is my victory.’
For reference, this competition has a total of three stages:
Exclusive contract.
Infrastructure for mineral extraction and transportation.
And safe transportation.
And what is commonly needed for all of that is ‘cooperation’.
Whether it was signing the contract, laying the infrastructure, or transporting the extracted minerals to their home country, they could only proceed with the work with the cooperation of the respective country.
That’s why William was confident in winning this competition.
‘I’m already on good terms with the South African political circles and the president.’
Receiving cooperation was not difficult at all. It just required waiting for the legal procedures at each stage.
‘Scarlett has already prepared the professional construction personnel and laborers. The moment the stamp is put on, it won’t take long until the first mineral harvest.’
The difference in speed from the other teams, who had to find laborers on the spot, was stark.
Confident in his victory, he strode back to his accommodation when William’s smartphone rang.
William answered the phone casually. But his face stiffened.
“Honey, what’s wrong?”
“…….”
“What’s the matter?”
Scarlett asked, but there was no answer.
William, who had been stiff, twitched his cheeks and suddenly shouted like a desperate man.
“What?! Isabel’s side has already signed the contract?!”
***
Perhaps it could be called the tranquility of someone who has completed a contract. I was enjoying a fairly leisurely life.
Rolling around with Isabel and the black women until early in the morning, waking up the drowsy Isabel and having brunch.
I was enjoying the flex life for the first time in a while when I heard a commotion outside.
“Isabel!”
“Move! I came to see Isabel! Hey, Isabel!”
It was Vivienne and Audrey.
The two black women between my legs looked up at me. I told them not to mind and pressed their heads down, and the two women sucked on my dick and balls.
“Isabel, open the door?!”
In that state, I greedily accepted the fruit that the naked Isabel handed me.
Then, at the moment when I felt like I was about to cum, I shot my jizz into the mouth of the woman who was sucking my dick.
“Gulp. Gulp.”
Since there was a lot, the two women shared it half and half.
“Damn you guys! Don’t just guard the door, go inside and call Isabel!”
Only then did I get up from my seat.
The women the president had assigned cleaned my dick and the seat, and Isabel, who had been serving me food, put on her clothes and sat in the seat of honor where I had been sitting.
Then, when I nodded, one of the women went to the door and opened it.
Quickly!
The two women who came in immediately started arguing.
“Isabel, are you crazy? 100 trillion?!”
“How are we supposed to negotiate if you raise the amount so drastically?!”
It seemed they had heard about the contract with us from the president. They came up to Isabel and questioned her, demanding an answer.
But Isabel just shrugged with a calm face.
“Is that a problem?”
“Of course, it’s a problem! Do you know that the tail wags the dog? The losses are greater than the profits from contracting the minerals!”
“Well, that might be true. But so what?”
“What?”
Isabel looked straight at the two women.
“The essence of this contract is a succession dispute anyway. Negotiation is just a tool for that. And we three are competitors. So what’s the problem?”
“Ugh.”
“If you have the ability to overturn my contract, then go ahead, and if you’ve run out of cards to negotiate, then just leave. If you don’t have money to invest, just suck your thumb. Don’t come to me like beggars and just watch what we do.”
“!!”
[Isabel is imitating you.]
Isn’t it said that if you admire and follow someone fanatically, you will resemble them?
There are many kinds of affection, but ‘fanaticism’ is one of the most bizarre.
Isabel responded to her two older sisters with an attitude that seemed rude at first glance. The women’s mouths dropped open.
“A b-beggar?”
“Did you… just call us beggars?!”
By the way, was I that rude? I didn’t know.
The two women flared up at Isabel’s words and actions.
“Are you kidding me! That measly 100 trillion is nothing to us!”
Then Isabel snorted.
“Then invest. What’s the problem?”
“…….”
They can’t.
By nature, the rich are crazy about money.
Even if that’s not the case, the habit of making money is ingrained in them.
So, they fundamentally can’t do things like giving away 100 trillion for free like me.
Even in moments like now, when they have to invest because the position of head of the family is at stake.
They were the kind of people who had to carefully review and check everything over and over again.
‘In fact, giving away money impulsively like me is a thoroughly loser, commoner mindset.’
It’s not a good habit.
How many commoners who won the lottery have gone bankrupt in that way?
From the perspective of the rich, who are armed with habits that can only lead to victory, it was a truly pathetic attitude and method.
‘But sometimes a foolish method can be a very powerful weapon.’
I thought of the president, prime minister, and people who were dancing in front of me yesterday.
-Welcome! You are the benefactors of our country! The heroes of our country and our people!
“Ha!”
At Isabel’s provocation to invest if they were unhappy, Vivienne quickly took out her smartphone.
“You’re quite arrogant, but will the family look favorably on that absurd decision?”
“…….”
“A deal where the losses are greater than the gains is a negative factor. It means you’re not qualified to be the head of the family! Watch closely from now on. What kind of results will your actions yesterday bring!”
Then Vivienne called the family. As if to show off, she put it on speakerphone.
“Please connect me to the head of the family! I want to talk to them directly!”
「…Vivienne, what’s the matter?」
“Head of the family!”
Vivienne contacted the family and told them what we had done yesterday.
“…To pour in 100 trillion without thinking, doesn’t that mean she doesn’t even have the basic economic sense to be the head of the family?”
「That’s why you contacted me about that part.」
“Yes! No matter how greedy you are for the position of head of the family, that’s just not right!”
However, Isabel and I, who were watching the scene, were calm.
「I received a detailed report from Nobu yesterday. And we concluded that there was no problem.」
“Yes…?”
Because Isabel had already made a preemptive move yesterday.
「There is no problem, that’s what I’m saying.」
“No, that can’t be! You just gave away 100 trillion for free, how can there be no problem! Surely you’re not turning a blind eye just because she’s your granddaughter…”
「Vivienne.」
Flinch. Vivienne, realizing that she had crossed the line, immediately apologized.
“I’m sorry, head of the family.”
「It’s okay. I understand your position well enough. But the fact is that there is no problem. The family has not lost anything in this contract.」
“Yes? How?”
「Haven’t you heard yet? That 100 trillion is purely the money of the assistant. Ruzgard has not lost a single penny financially through this deal.」
“!!”
The women who were talking on speakerphone opened their eyes wide enough to fall out and focused on me.
「He highly valued Isabel and used his own money purely to make Isabel the successor. He even swore that he would not demand a single penny for that 100 trillion even if Isabel becomes the head of the family in the future.」
“Th-that’s.”
「So, on the contrary, this should be given a high score. She bought the heart of another person and made it an opportunity without spending a single penny of her own money.」
“…….”
「How was the answer to your question?」
With that, the call ended.
The two women stared blankly at their smartphones with a dazed expression.
Then, they raised their eyes sharply and pointed at me, shouting.
They argued that they could not understand my decision.
“Are you crazy? You poured in 100 trillion of your own money just to get that contract? In this kind of village?”
“Yes.”
“Not even 10 trillion, but 100 trillion?! Are you out of your mind, or are you a fool who’s fallen for this short, flat-chested woman who has nothing but blonde hair?”
Calling our Isabel short and flat-chested. That’s a bit harsh.
Still, I decided to give them advice on negotiation with a generous heart.
“The basics of negotiation are to buy the other person’s heart. If you can add emotion to that, it’s even better. Negotiation is not all about money.”
“That’s bullshit. Then why did you invest 100 trillion?”
“There’s a misunderstanding. What I’m trying to say is that the amount of money is not important in negotiation.”
“Fuck you! What nonsense are you talking about?! It’s always best to have a lot of money!”
Even though I gave them a sincere answer, the women didn’t listen at all.
“Tell me honestly! What’s your ulterior motive!”
“Audrey. This bastard, he made a secret deal with Isabel, didn’t he?”
The women kept arguing.
Their voices were getting louder and louder, and I was wondering what to do. But then, the president and prime minister burst into our place with soldiers.
“Isabel! Taebaek! Are you okay?”
[The president, hearing the news of Vivienne and Audrey’s intrusion, brought people to protect you and Isabel.]
‘Those are some reliable people.’
Seeing them, Audrey turned away from me and went to the president.
“If you’re going to be so dirty, then I have an idea too! Mr. President!”
“Yes?”
“Then we’ll make a new offer. If you contract with us, we’ll install 110 trillion worth of infrastructure for you.”
“110 trillion?!”
At that moment, everyone in the room opened their eyes wide.
It was a whopping 10 trillion more than the amount I had offered.
For reference, 10 trillion was Madagascar’s budget for five years.
“That’s interesting. Then I’ll add another 10 trillion to that and install 120 trillion worth of infrastructure for you.”
“!!”
It was Vivienne.
She joined Audrey’s side and made the offer.
Audrey glared at Vivienne and raised the amount again.
“Then I’ll promise 130 trillion.”
“Then I’ll do 135 trillion.”
“140.”
“145.”
The price was rising rapidly.
An amount that far exceeded the budget of a country was ballooning.
“155!”
In an instant, the amount exceeded 150 trillion.
But every time that happened, the expressions of the people of Madagascar grew darker and darker.
Instead, a calm emotion lingered in its place.
“176.5!”
“177!”
The president said to the two people who were in the middle of a bidding war.
“I’m sorry, but even if you make such an offer, we will not contract with you.”
The two women opened their eyes wide.
“Why?”
“Why would you make such a stupid choice?”
“We have decided to work with Taebaek and Isabel. That thought will not change.”
“But why! We’re offering more money!”
The president shook his head.
Vivienne and Audrey looked at the prime minister and the others. Their reactions were the same.
“Why…?”
“Those people willingly gave us a huge sum of 100 trillion when we had nothing. When you were planning to exploit us somehow by offering 1 trillion and attaching unfair promises.”
If the contract was concluded within a predictable range, it was just a contract.
A common contract.
But what if, just maybe, someone proposed an amount that you couldn’t even imagine without a moment’s hesitation?
[The people of Madagascar still haven’t forgotten the way you showed during the negotiation.]
-Instead of that, let’s go big and go for 10 times that amount. Let’s just go with 100 trillion.
-If you contract with us, we will install 100 trillion worth of infrastructure in Madagascar for free. To ensure reliable credit, I will put my Taebaek Distribution on the line.
What if I had been calculating in my head and trying to recover the money like Vivienne or Audrey?
What if I hadn’t been able to propose it with confidence and hesitated even a little?
-Welcome! You are the benefactors of our country! The heroes of our country and our people!
-Do whatever you want in this land! Me and our people will all follow you! Hahaha!
Would they have been able to show the same reaction as yesterday?
Would they have been able to reject a better offer, saying that they would work with me like they are now?
‘There’s no way.’
You can’t buy hearts with a half-hearted attitude.
You can’t impress people by doing what everyone else does.
Only when you do what no one else can do do people move their hearts. They become enthusiastic.
“We’ll give you more money!”
“I’ll give you twice what that bastard promised! I’ll give you 200 trillion!”
Still, the president shook his head.
The rest of the people were the same.
Just as I had chosen without looking at the money, they were choosing me without looking at the money.
[The people of Madagascar have a very high level of favorability towards you.]
Maybe it was because they were so poor, because it was a rural country that hadn’t been tainted by capitalism yet, because it was a country where violence existed but romance was still alive.
“Th-that’s.”
Vivienne and Audrey staggered with an unbelievable look on their faces and collapsed.
The negotiation was over.
The two were confirmed to have lost.
And that was only two days after the competition had started.
Isabel, who had been looking down at the two people who were in shock and half out of their minds, said to the people.
“Can you all leave for a moment? Vivienne. Audrey. Sisters, can you see me for a moment?”
The president and prime minister took the people out, and I lay down on the huge bed and closed my eyes.
[Using 〈Omniscient Observer’s View〉.]
Soon, I could see the three young ladies of Ruzgard facing each other in the inner room through my vision.
Isabel looked at the two who had completely lost their spirit and said.
“Sisters, I’m going to give you a chance.”
“…….”
“Don’t think too hard. I’m just giving you one more chance to come back to life.”
“…What does that mean?”
“I heard from the president that there are several mines here. If you want, I can give you the opportunity to contract for two mines.”
The two people opened their eyes wide. They soon glared at Isabel with suspicious eyes.
“Why are you helping us?”
“Well, does that matter now? What really matters is how desperately you want that job.”
“…….”
“I’ll give you a chance if you want.”
“Really?”
“Of course.”
Then Vivienne and Audrey, who had thought it was all over and were completely dead, regained their energy.
Their two eyes rolled around and stopped abruptly.
They asked Isabel.
“Then what do you want?”
“How are you going to give us that mine?”
Isabel shrugged and said.
“It’s simple. You know my assistant, right? He boldly spent a lot of money for me this time. So I’m thinking of giving him something in return.”
Well, he did spend 100 trillion. Vivienne and Audrey nodded, saying that they understood well enough.
“So what do you want us to do specifically?”
“Become my assistant’s bed slaves for 3 days. Then I’ll give you the contract opportunity.”
“!!”
Vivienne shouted at Isabel.
“You crazy bitch! Are you telling us to sell our bodies?!”
“That’s right.”
“You bitch!”
Thud. Vivienne kicked Isabel down, and Audrey grabbed Isabel, who had fallen, by the collar and pushed her against the wall.
‘Should I help?’
I had that thought for a moment, but I soon gave up after seeing Isabel’s face. Even though violent violence was pouring down, Isabel’s expression was calm.
[To her, who has spent a long time under Emma’s violence, this is nothing.]
Of course, that’s not the only reason.
[The nano suit is offsetting all the damage.]
It blocks bullets, so there’s no way it can’t block a kick from a twenty-year-old woman.
“Is that it?”
“What?”
“Have you asked everything you wanted to ask?”
“!!”
Even though she had clearly used violence, Isabel didn’t even blink an eye and stared blankly with emotionless eyes, which made Vivienne and Audrey flinch and step back.
Isabel stared at them for a moment and dusted off her clothes.
“So what are you going to do? Are you going to do it, or not?”
“…….”
“Honestly, aren’t you disappointed? The others are just arriving in Africa, but you have to end up having come faster than anyone else and having the contract right in front of your eyes.”
Vivienne and Audrey bit their lips.
It was true. Right now, they were feeling like they had been robbed of their prey at the last minute.
But the two women couldn’t answer easily and frowned and pondered.
They had very prideful faces.
‘It can’t be helped.’
Right now, the Ruzgards are like royalty in the Middle Ages.
They were of a status comparable to princesses.
But the moment they responded to Isabel’s offer, they had to become slaves. To an ordinary commoner, no less.
They were ashamed of the fact that they had to be laid down by someone from a slave background and moan like bitches.
‘But the reason why they can’t easily refuse is clear.’
If they get the contract right away, they will be faster than the other 10 teams.
Not only that, but they can start again on the same starting line as us, who are the fastest.
It was worth responding.
Vivienne clenched her fist and said.
“Okay, I’ll do it.”
“Me too.”
Audrey answered as if she couldn’t lose to Vivienne’s answer.
“Damn it, it’s only 3 days.”
“Yeah. I just have to endure it about 10 times.”
Well, will that really be the case?
I smiled and dismantled [Omniscient Observer’s View]. Soon, the three women came out of the room.
However, they looked quite different from when they went in.
Brown wavy hair Vivienne.
Green hair Audrey.
The two beauties were following Isabel naked.
They had dog collars around their necks, and Isabel came to me and put the leashes in my hand.
“From now on, these kids are Taebaek’s slaves for 3 days. Enjoy them to your heart’s content.”
When I gave them a look, Vivienne and Audrey lowered their heads and blushed.
Isabel nudged their legs and said.
“I taught you. Report.”
“…I’m Vivienne, a slave who will serve in Taebaek’s bed for 3 days. I’m twenty-six years old… and I’ve had 3 male experiences.”
“I’m Audrey. I’m twenty-five years old… and I’ve had 4 male experiences.”
Then they spread their bare pussies with their hands.
Perhaps because they had only used it a few times, the shape of their pussies was still quite pretty. As expected of white women, their areolas and pussies were pink.
I nodded and pulled the leashes hard.
Cough. They immediately fell to the ground in front of me, as if they were being pulled by the leashes.
I gestured to them.
“Then, like slaves, start by sucking my dick, you Ruzgard bitches.”
