Chapter 601 Negotiation

"The mission failed. Baxter Enwy escaped."

Hermione looked at the information at hand, then put it aside and placed her next move on the chessboard.

Taylor was expressionless and just nodded: "It's something that was expected. This plan is just a temporary idea. It's not comprehensive at all."

It was just a sneak attack mission, and a wave of sneak attacks was organized based on the information. No additional encirclement and suppression was organized, and only a small team was sent out.

"To be honest, the defense is a bit empty. Although there is no danger on George and Fred's side, the return to defense is still a bit late."

Hermione sighed helplessly. After all, this time is indeed a very good opportunity for them. At another time, they may not be able to catch Baxter Envi again. Although Luke always said this was an unimportant person. But that didn't matter to Luke. For the people below, this can be considered an achievement.

"There is nothing we can do about it. The only countries that have calmed down now are the UK and France. Other countries that should be subversive are still subverting. At least they are preparing for subversion."

Taylor is very clear about the current situation. It's not that they don't want to complete the battle, but that they really don't have enough manpower. So when Luke arranged this task, he only thought about hitting the target with or without dates. To be honest, there is only one Baite Envi running now. It should be said that this task has been completed quite successfully.

"Okay, let's put this aside for now. It'll be fine if nothing happens to George and Fred. Gemma actually let them be used as bait. She was really brave."

Hermione was also a little emotional. Gemma is their senior sister. But if you really want to talk about it, everyone's status in the organization cannot be distinguished. George and Fred were no lower than Gemma.

"It's not impossible to use Luke as bait this time. It has to be taken out for fishing anyway, and Gemma is confident that the bait will not be lost when fishing. This is enough."

Taylor knew very well that Gemma would definitely not make such a risky move on her own. Obviously this decision was made by Luke, and Gemma could only give him a suggestion.

"It's not a bad thing. At least let George and Fred know that the other party is definitely not a good person."

Hermione had a smirk on her face. She had been hanging out with Luke for a long time, and it was inevitable that she would develop a dark undertone.

Taylor chuckled lightly and said: "That's not what I meant. It's just that the two of them have had nothing to do recently. Fishing is also fishing, so why not go fishing."

Having said this, Taylor smiled, placed his next move on the chessboard, and then said to Hermione: "You, have the two of us become Luke's bait?"

Hermione rolled her eyes, then looked at the situation on the chessboard, frowning, undecided.

"If I were here alone, then this place might actually be used for fishing. But you are here too. Then this place is an absolute safe house."

What everyone is researching may not be clear to each other. But everyone basically knows how important our research results are. Let alone others, Taylor's research is definitely the most important one among them. Unless the research has been thoroughly completed and there is no need to improve again. Otherwise, Luke would not really be willing to take his core researchers out to take risks.

"No, it's safe here, not because of me, but because no one knows me."

Taylor looked at Hermione: "No one knows who I am, that's why I'm safe."

Hermione was silent for a moment, then nodded: "That's true."

"Ah, Luke is really a heartless guy!"

Hermione couldn't help but said with emotion.

………………

"This guy is real."

George looked at the kidnappers who were tied up in front of him with some dumbfounding, and rubbed his belly that had been beaten.

Fred held his wand and glanced at the kidnappers lying on the ground, with a serious look on his face: "Fight back? You are really brave enough."

"Who do you think made the decision to fish with us this time?"

George asked suddenly.

"Luke, you still have to ask? Senior Gemma can't make such a decision by herself."

Fred said in a very calm tone. He didn't look angry at all.

"Why did you choose the two of us?"

George smiled helplessly and said.

"Come here, let's have some free time." Fred thought for a moment, and then said, "Everyone else, from Luke to Gemma to Hermione and Tyler, should be busy with various arrangements now. It’s not as valuable to have them out there as bait as it is to have them doing their job.”

"Secondly, we are more attractive." Fred could see it clearly. "Most of the popular products launched by Cat and Snake were invented by us, so many people want to arrest us two." Get up, and then produce these things to sell for money. After all, the opportunity to make a lot of money is extremely precious in the eyes of the nobles."

The reason why many nobles work in gray or even black industries is because gray and black industries make more money. The competition faced by the clean industry is too great. It is basically impossible for them to defeat the great nobles who have been cleansed.

It can't be rolled, it can't be rolled. This is not something they can do with their own efforts. No matter how hard you try, you can't really go against the general trend.

The emergence of the Weasley twins shows how creativity can be exchanged for money. It should be said that the combination of the company's carrier and Gemini's inventions has allowed everyone to see business opportunities. Because of this, although everyone is basically equal in status. But if Luke sends out three decoys now, one is Gemma, the head of the company, one is Luke's core researcher Taylor, and the other is their two brothers, then I guess the enemies will not hesitate to throw them away.

The first target must be the two brothers.

And the two of them can't blame anyone else for the current situation. At first, Luke suggested that they not use their real names on their works. When you go out, you should use a stage name.

But the two of them stubbornly chose to refuse. For them, it is obviously more honorable to give their real names. Not only the face of the two of them, but also the face of the entire Weasley family.

It has to be said that after having no shortage of money, Gemini pays more attention to this kind of thing. At least now, the Weasley family no longer looks so shabby when they appear in front of other families. This is also one of the goals of their efforts.

At this time, George finally understood the cause and effect. Although he himself knew that there might not be Luke's intention to let them put more effort into it.

"Anyway, it's best for the two of us to get busy. At least we won't be so worried about fishing."

Fred saw George's complicated expression and said, "Of course, it's best to put in more effort. I finally understand that if things here don't end, there will never be real peace."

Luke is indeed an ambitious guy. Before his ambition is achieved, he will not calm down the world so easily.

Of course, Gemini also knows very well that although Luke is ambitious, he is trying to make the world a better place. As for the current situation, the two of them are considered nobles, and they are considered nobles without money. This kind of aristocrat can best see how corrupt the system is.

"Okay, okay, I understand. I will definitely work harder in the future."

George waved his hands impatiently, and then looked at the kidnappers on the ground: "Leave them here. The two of us should go to Professor Flitwick to help with research as originally planned. We will talk about the rest later, Now that we have made a plan, we can’t just abandon it halfway, right?”

Fred nodded, which he acknowledged. The thing at hand has entered the final development period. If it is not completed, he will feel uncomfortable and will not have the energy to focus on the research of other things.

………………

The negotiations went extremely smoothly.

Samuel even felt a little incredible about such a success.

It seems that he is not negotiating with representatives of the six parties, but only with one person.

The new representative of France is the eldest lady of the Lestrange family, Chrissy Lestrange. This person also showed acquaintance with Luke Gunter, and could even be said to be quite familiar with him. At least the kind that greets Luke Gunter as soon as he comes up.

The various needs of other countries seemed to have been over-reported to Luke Gunter, and Luke Gunter also stood on the same angle as them to perform basic mediation and integration. In the end, their requests were even They are all within Samuel's acceptance range.

The interests of civilians in the American wizarding world have not been greatly harmed. Although the nobles have to shed some blood, they have not been injured. The Magic Congress will lose a certain amount of benefits, but it is still acceptable.

After he reported the terms he negotiated to Speaker Gladys, Gladys looked unbelieving. She never expected that it would go so smoothly. Even if Samuel had the ability, it shouldn't go so smoothly.

After Samuel told her that there was probably the shadow of Luke Gunter behind this, Gladys understood the situation somewhat. But really speaking, it would be extremely disrespectful for the negotiation to end like this.

After all, everyone should be arguing with each other, rather than simply explaining the situation and signing a contract.

"Since the other party is so happy, you might as well see if you can negotiate further terms."

Gladys certainly doesn't want to give up just like that. Pushing the envelope is not a good habit for politicians. But there is one thing: this trait can be regarded as their basic artistic ability.

Samuel himself was a little nervous. He knew that his conditions were actually quite harsh. It would be good for everyone if the negotiation could be negotiated so smoothly. But Gladys still wanted to make the Magic Congress pay a smaller price.

But Samuel did the math himself. Luke Gauntka's is just too good to be true. It's good to be able to negotiate, but if the interests are transferred, I'm afraid the other two parties will not be able to accept this condition.

and so……

"No problem, I can agree to the conditions you mentioned now."

Fleur said with a slight smile.

Samuel didn't laugh because he saw the amusement on Fleur's face.

"As long as you give up your interests in other aspects, we can talk about this aspect."

Fleur said it sincerely. The others present nodded in unison. Apparently they had already discussed the appropriate countermeasures.

Samuel glanced around. Furong was considered the representative among the representatives at this time, and she was entangled with him here. While others are doing their own thing. Liu Nian was doing his nails, Ursula was knitting, Revell was approving documents, Chris was looking at Luke, and Lilith was frowning, not knowing what she was thinking.

As for Luke Gunter...he was sitting in the host's seat with a smile on his face and no emotion at all. I can't see any ideas either.

Only then did Samuel really feel a headache.

To be honest, dividing them into pieces and defeating them one by one was his initial thought. After all, you only need to figure out the core interests of each company at the negotiation table, and then rely on what you can transfer to join forces with the other party, and exclude those whose conditions are unacceptable to you. In this way, some countries can benefit more and obtain some benefits that they don't care much about. Even if you give more, it won't be such a painful benefit.

As a result, some countries will benefit less. What these countries want are things they do not want to give, let alone cannot give.

The result is good now. Before he can use his ability to combine vertical and horizontal directions, the opponent has become a monolith. This made him really paralyzed for a while, and he could only talk about the bottom line.

Again, it was agreed at the beginning, but now it is unlikely that the other party will give up.

"There are so many things to consider, Mr. Samuel. After all, what you are fighting for now is the interests of MACUSA, which we can all understand."

The smile on Fleur's face was beautiful, but it seemed so annoying to Samuel.

He is sitting here in charge of negotiations not only because he volunteered, but also because he is working hard to promote this negotiation. What's more important is that he can indeed understand the interests and demands of the three parties. First of all, he is a run-down little nobleman who is almost a commoner. Able to understand the interests of civilians. Then he is the son-in-law of the great noble Tripkard and can understand the interests of the great nobles. Finally, he is an official of the Magical Congress and can understand the interests of the Magical Congress.

This is why when it was determined that he was in charge of the negotiations, no one else objected at the meeting, but everyone acquiesced to the result. You know, the conditions that Samuel can talk about here will be the consequences that they need to bear in the future. If Samuel was really unsuitable, no one would remain silent.

Samuel was silent. He didn't know how to continue.

Just then, Luke knocked on the table.
