My Pokémon Player

Andy didn't understand the hidden meaning of Locke's words. He thought Locke was praising him.

"It's not hard work. This is the result of the joint efforts of the two of us." Andy shook his head and said.

"The two of us? Master Andy, what do you mean by this? I haven't been able to help you much in discussing cooperation this time."

After listening to Andy's words, Locke looked very complicated, with both surprise and a bit of hesitation.

Andy's words clearly meant that he wanted to share the credit for negotiating the Poké Ball deal with him, and was showing goodwill to him.

He really needs this credit to make up for the mistake of losing the pharmaceutical cooperation. After all, he signed the contract personally, and the main responsibility lies with him.

This credit not only allows him to make up for his past mistakes, but may even allow him to go one step further, which makes Locke unmoved.

But as a businessman, Locke knew very well that if you want to get something, you have to pay the corresponding price.

Baron Lane has a good saying, there is no such thing as a free lunch, and Andy cannot give him the credit for nothing. This young master is trying to gain his support, but Locke doesn't want to wade into this muddy water.

While Locke was still hesitating, Andy said:

"I have no other intentions. This cooperation was negotiated between the two of us. If you hadn't trusted me and were willing to hand over the seal of the Chamber of Commerce to me, I wouldn't have the confidence to negotiate with Baron Lane, so we can negotiate a cooperation this time. It’s indeed your fault.”

"Don't think too much. I want your support, but I won't use credit to coerce you. The credit that belongs to you is yours, and no one can take it away."

"It's just that I hope you can help me more when I get involved in the Chamber of Commerce business. If you are willing, I can tell my father that you have also participated in the cooperation negotiations, so as to add another credit to you."

"Of course, you can also refuse, but I will still truthfully report your credit."

Locke looked at Andy's sincere expression and felt a little shaken in his heart.

Andy is right. As long as the cooperation is negotiated, then he, the main person in charge, will get the credit, but the credit will be big or small, it all depends on how they explain the situation to the president.

If they reported truthfully, most of the credit would go to Andy, and the credit he received would at most make up for the mistakes he made.

If he reported like Andy said, his contribution would be almost the same as Andy's, and it would help him accumulate capital for his upward climb.

The price he paid was just to help Andy get in touch with the Chamber of Commerce business. Even if Andy didn't mention it, the president had already ordered it, so he didn't pay much.

Thinking of this, Locke no longer hesitated. He bowed and said to Andy:

"When you return to the Chamber of Commerce, I will take you to contact the Chamber of Commerce's business. This is also my responsibility as a director of the Chamber of Commerce. It is not a help. You can report the situation truthfully. There is no need to share your credit with me."

Locke said that no credit should be given, but Andy would be a fool if he believed it. He smiled and said to Locke:

"What are Director Locke talking about? Isn't the real situation that you and I are negotiating cooperation with Baron Lane? You are the main contributor to this negotiation!"

Locke's eyes flashed with joy when he heard this, and he quickly thanked Andy:

"I would like to thank Master Andy for this. I really deserve this credit. Please rest assured that I will help you get familiar with the Chamber of Commerce business as soon as possible."

Andy helped Locke up: "I should thank you. Without your help, I am really helpless and don't know where to start."

What he said was pure nonsense. Although he had not had much contact with the business of the Chamber of Commerce since he was a child, he still had a certain understanding of the business of the Chamber of Commerce.

Even if you can't handle the business in an orderly manner from the beginning, you don't even know where to start.

Besides, he had just concluded the Poke Ball deal, and his future focus would definitely be on the Poke Ball auction, so he wouldn't have to worry about any business at all.

The reason why Andy gave Locke the credit and asked him to help him was to win him over to his side.

You must know that Locke is one of the few directors of the Chamber of Commerce. He has a high status in the Chamber of Commerce. Moreover, he is not too old and has room for improvement in the future. His father also thinks highly of Locke and is of great win-win value.

Andy naturally wanted to win over Locke. Unlike the old directors, he never participated in the succession disputes and was only loyal to the president.

Unlike those old directors, knowing that it would be difficult for him to improve his position, he frequently expressed goodwill to his eldest brother, hoping to invest in the successor appointed by his father in advance to keep his position as director.

Even if Andy wants to win over these old directors, they will ignore him and only focus on his eldest brother.

Locke has never shown goodwill to his eldest brother and has always acted impartially. His eldest brother has tried to win over Locke many times, but Locke politely refused. This is also an important reason why Locke is valued by his father.

Andy knew in his heart that his father was actually very dissatisfied with these old directors.

I haven't officially chosen my successor yet, but you are all circling around my son. If I really choose my successor, you won't have to force me to abdicate!

His father didn't say anything, but in fact he was secretly suppressing these old directors, slowly taking away their power and business, and promoting new directors at the same time.

Locke was promoted under this background. He knew very well what he relied on to be elected as a director, so he was very loyal to the president and never participated in Brother Andy's small group.

This also gave Andy the opportunity to win over him. Although Andy knew that Locke was unlikely to join his camp, he just needed to make his elder brother feel that Locke was on his side.

His eldest brother has always been suspicious. As long as he learns that he and Director Locke have negotiated a cooperation together, and that Director Locke is still helping him contact business after returning, his eldest brother will definitely be suspicious of Locke.

At that time, he only needs to add fuel to the flames to make Locke and his elder brother stand on opposite sides.

After offending his eldest brother, Locke had no choice but to choose his side.

In the past, he was able to stay out of the matter and only be loyal to the president because he did not participate in the succession dispute and could not offend anyone. Even if Brother Andy inherited the position of president, nothing would be done to him.

But if Locke offends Andy's eldest brother, the situation will be different. He has to think about his future. If Andy's eldest brother becomes the president, he will definitely not end well, so he can only help Andy win the heir. Location.

This is Andy's conspiracy. He wants to use Locke's desire for credit and his elder brother's suspicious mentality to force Locke to side with him.

Locke would not have agreed to Andy so easily due to his caution, but his desire for credit and improved status overcame his reason and made him fall into Andy's plan.

He couldn't wait to take the transaction contract from Andy's hand and began to browse the contents. The more he read, the more delighted he became, until he saw the pricing terms.

"Master Andy, what does this pricing mean? How can you agree to such an exaggerated request?"

Locke frowned, seemingly dissatisfied with the pricing.

"There is no way. Baron Lane insisted on the price and refused to let me go. He didn't give me a chance to negotiate. As soon as I opened my mouth, he got up and left. He also said that he wanted to talk to Director Gavin and the others. Do you think I can What should I do? I can only be forced to agree to it."

Andy said with a wry smile.

When Locke heard this, he also recalled Ryan's difficulty. The last time they discussed the price of the medicine, he was tricked by Ryan and revealed his lowest price.

It was difficult for him to deal with Ryan, let alone the inexperienced Andy. It would be good if they could negotiate a cooperation, but it would be unreasonable if the price was unreasonable. Anyway, they still made money, and the Poké Ball had other more important values.

Although Locke had already accepted the pricing in his heart, he still wanted to take this opportunity to teach Andy.

"Master Andy, I know you are under a lot of pressure when negotiating, but as businessmen, no matter how much pressure we have, we must strive for more benefits for ourselves."

"You shouldn't agree to Baron Lane's request so easily. You should at least try to lower the price."

Locke said earnestly.

When Andy heard this, he almost couldn't help rolling his eyes at Locke.

He thought it was easy for you to say it, but they didn't give you a chance to lower the price at all.

Ryan took those few steps very quickly, but if he hesitated for a moment longer, Ryan would really leave the reception room, and then you might blame me for being indecisive again.

Of course, Andy would not say what was in his heart. He said to Locke apologetically:

"Sorry, Director Locke, I have never experienced negotiation and don't know how to negotiate. I just thought that you said you could pay some price if necessary, so I agreed to Baron Lane's request. I didn't expect that the Chamber of Commerce would lose its interests. This It's my responsibility."

Locke was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and he asked Andy cautiously:

"You think the price I said is to give up more benefits?"

"Isn't it? Then what price are you going to make me pay?"

Andy's eyes revealed confusion.

"Ahem, yes, I mean to make you compromise on your interests."

Locke looked a little embarrassed. Only then did he realize that he had thought wrongly. Baron Lane had no such intentions for Andy.

It's strange how his mind has become so unhealthy and he has such thoughts.

It must be under the influence of those fallen nobles. It is better to have less private contact with them in the future.

Locke placed all the blame on other nobles.

And Andy always felt that Locke's behavior was a bit weird, and his eyes were evasive when he looked at him, as if he was hiding something.

He glanced at Locke with searching eyes, trying to figure out what was going on in Locke's mind.

Seeing this, Locke quickly changed the subject. He pointed to the clause in the contract [Lane can decide the currency style during the transaction] and said:

"What does this clause mean?"

"I'm not sure, but Baron Ryan said that he would explain it to us and the Blue Ocean Chamber of Commerce during the dinner. He also swore in the name of the family that this clause would not affect the transaction, so I agreed to write this clause."

Andy opened his mouth to explain.

After Locke heard the explanation, he was also confused. He did not understand the meaning of this clause for the time being.

"I heard that some nobles like gold products and will smelt gold coins privately. Maybe Baron Lane also has this hobby, or maybe he needs a lot of copper coins to hire civilians to build various facilities?"

Locke expressed his guess.

"That may be the case, but it doesn't matter. Our Yaojin Chamber of Commerce has sufficient reserves of gold, silver and copper coins, which can fully meet the needs of Baron Lane."

Andy is still very confident in the currency reserves of the Yaojin Chamber of Commerce.

Locke also felt that what Andy said was reasonable, so he did not take this clause to heart.

What he was thinking about now was how to return the humiliation he had just suffered to Gavin. This guy not only took away the potion cooperation he signed, but also mocked him wantonly. This made the usually calm Locke a little unbearable.

Locke can't wait to find Gavin immediately and smash the trade contract in his face. What's the point of taking away the potion trade? We have a new cooperation, and it is a sealed treasure that is more precious than potions!

But Locke finally endured it. He wanted to hide the news about the Poké Ball so that he could catch the Blue Ocean Chamber of Commerce off guard.

So he specifically asked Andy not to spread the news.

Andy also knew Locke's intention and naturally nodded in agreement.

"Oh, I'll let you be proud for a few more days. Once the Poke Ball comes on the market, your good days will be over!"

Locke whispered that even if Gavin stole the potion and cooperated with him and had merit, the fault of allowing the Yaojin Chamber of Commerce and Ryan to reach a Poké Ball deal was enough to outweigh the merit, and he would definitely be punished by the president.

At that time, I must taunt him severely and step on him a few times to relieve the hatred in my heart!

As for the resentment towards Ryan, it disappeared the moment he saw the trade contract.

Now Ryan is his reborn parent!

Locke secretly made up his mind to maintain his relationship with Ryan. This baron had a very deep background. He took out potions and elf balls one after another, and there might be good things in the future.

The most important thing is that he really sells out the good stuff!

In the evening, Ryan held a banquet and invited the two directors to thank them for the meeting gifts.

The two directors visited Yinghuo Town this time, and both achieved their goals. They prevented the other party from dragging Ryan into the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and also had preliminary cooperation with Ryan. Naturally, they were very happy, and they kept patting Ryan at the banquet. Flattery.

Ryan got a little annoyed after listening to a few sentences, so he went straight to the topic.

He took out a few elf coins, asked his servant to hand them to the two directors, and then said:

"Both directors must have noticed a special clause in the transaction contract. The clause stipulates that I will decide the currency style during the transaction, and what I need is this currency called Elf Coin."

As soon as these words came out, the two directors had different reactions.

Locke looked down at the elf coin in his hand, thinking that what Ryan wanted was not the gold, silver and copper coins, but this elf coin.

But what is this elf coin? He has never heard of it before. This piece of iron can also be used as currency?

Gavin looked at Ryan and Locke in surprise.

No, when did you two sign the contract? What have you done behind my back? ! (End of chapter)
