Plug-in Players In Marvel

There are quite a lot of people here, and they are all "big shots". Just looking at this lineup, it seems like they are setting up a posture for a serious negotiation.

Actually, it is not the case.

This gathering is just to show their attitude. To put it bluntly, the purpose is just to reach a cooperation intention. As for the specific details, such as how much rent to pay to Asgard, how to arrange the transportation of goods, etc., we have to wait until things move forward and develop to the next stage before we can discuss them in detail.

If we start formal negotiations right now, it would be a bit unreasonable.

You know, the cooperation is not about Asgard begging the Earth, but about several Earth forces headed by Shi Xiaolei wanting to borrow a convenience from Asgard. According to this active and passive relationship, it is reasonable to go to Asgard's territory to discuss this matter.

Let Loki, who represents Asgard, come to the Earth, which is equivalent to an away game, to cooperate with Shi Xiaolei and others' schedule? Just think about it and you will know that this is unreasonable.

In addition, Loki came alone this time, without any other entourage. This situation also reflects the nature of this meeting from the side.

After all, serious negotiations are always carried out in teams, and it is impossible for one person to come to the table alone.

Even if Loki is the second prince of Asgard, he has great autonomy in the area under his jurisdiction and can make a decision on this matter with one word...

Whether it can be done is one thing, and whether it should be done is another.

With Loki's intelligence, it is impossible for him not to understand the principle of "one person's shortcomings".

Let's put it this way, if it is in a formal negotiation, in order to avoid negligence in the negotiation and leave any loopholes in the cooperation agreement that are not conducive to Asgard, Loki will definitely bring a few more helpers to help him check for deficiencies and fill in the gaps.

"If that's all, I think..." Loki glanced around and smiled: "It should be no problem."

"I'm glad to hear you say that." Seeing that Loki had no objection, Norman Osborn also smiled happily: "Now, let's open a bottle of good wine to celebrate?"

"Good idea." Stark was the first to respond. He turned his head and snapped his fingers at Cinderella who was standing beside him in a very familiar manner: "Hey, beauty, do you have champagne? Or open another bottle of fruit wine."

"Please wait." Seeing that Shi Xiaolei did not stop her, Cinderella smiled back at Stark and turned to leave the living room.

From the moment they sat down at the door, everyone had a glass in their hands.

Chatting and drinking can make the atmosphere more relaxed, and talking is also quite saliva-consuming. It is also convenient to have a drink at hand and moisten the throat after a long speech.

This was not the first time she had served such a conversation. She had accumulated some similar experience. With Cinderella's thoughtfulness, she had actually prepared various drinks long ago to meet the needs of the guests at any time.

Champagne was also on the list of drinks that Cinderella had prepared.

"Open it now?" In less than a minute, Cinderella had already come to the crowd with an ice bucket with two bottles of champagne in it.

"Let me do it." Stark stood up and took out a bottle of champagne.

He took the dry towel from Cinderella and wiped the remaining water stains on the bottle. He held the bottom of the bottle with one hand and the mouth of the bottle with the other. With a crisp sound of "bang", Stark had already pulled out the cork and opened the bottle of champagne.

It was not until then that Stark noticed the mark on the bottle.

"Hmm? Locke, is this also the work of Ramiris?" With some expectation, Stark asked Shi Xiaolei while putting his nose close to the mouth of the bottle and smelled it.

"There are many people in my family, and they all have different hobbies." Shi Xiaolei smiled and nodded: "Some people like to drink non-sparkling wine, and some people like sparkling wine. You know, Ramiris likes to be praised the most. In order to get praise from girls who like to drink sparkling wine, she specially made this new wine."

Only wine produced in the Champagne region of France can be called champagne. And the same kind of wine produced in other regions...

Even if the raw materials used are exactly the same and the brewing process is no different, when naming, it can only be called sparkling wine.

In the legal texts of France, the birthplace of champagne, this content is clearly stipulated, and wine lovers all over the world also unanimously recognize this common sense.

Shi Xiaolei didn't know there was this common sense at first, and he heard it from the brewer Ramiris...Speaking of which, when he heard Ramiris say this, he was somewhat surprised-not only because Ramiris knew more than him, but also because he was surprised by her enthusiasm and eagerness to learn.

It left a deep impression, so Shi Xiaolei didn't mention the word "champagne" at all at this moment.

Of course, this is an insignificant matter, and no one present would care.

Or to put it more bluntly, in the current situation, the celebratory meaning of the wine is the key, and even whether it tastes good or not is actually not important.

"Cheers! For the upcoming cooperation!"

"Cheers."

I didn't expect it to taste good, but after taking a sip, Loki unconsciously showed a surprised look.

"What's wrong, is it not to your taste?"

"No, it tastes good." Shi Xiaolei raised the cup. Loki's eyes flashed slightly and he asked casually: "If you guessed it correctly, some special ingredients should have been added when brewing this bottle of wine. ?”

"I'm not sure. Why do you say that? Can you taste it?" Shi Xiaolei shook his head, took another sip curiously, and tasted it carefully.

"The effect is not very obvious. You are not a mage, so you may not be able to notice it." Loki smiled slightly: "Do you remember the potions you gave me? The blue ones."

When he went to Asgard with Stark, he left a batch of mana potions for Loki before leaving as a thank you for his help.

"Mana potion?" Although he came to his senses, after a few seconds, Shi Xiaolei still shook his head: "I didn't drink it, maybe the dose was too small."

"Also a possibility."

"Speaking of which..." Looking at Loki, Shi Xiaolei suddenly laughed: "If you can taste the potion added here, your strength should be much stronger than then, right? I mean, such a subtle fluctuation of magic power , but not everyone can detect it.”

This sentence tickled Loki's itch, and he raised the corners of his mouth quite proudly: "It can be regarded as a slight improvement."
