Chapter 170 Negotiation (3)

The two sides now returned to the negotiating table. This time Tsunade did not come. The ones in charge of the negotiations were Shikaku and two consultants. The temporary consultants, Hyuga Hiashi and Shirogane Hayama, did not come either.

"Are you serious?"

Shikaku looked at the other party's list and an indescribable feeling rose from the bottom of his heart. He thought about advanced ninjutsu, the share of the mission, or directly negotiate on the funds.

Unexpectedly, the other party's target was Konoha's medical technology.

Seeing that Shikaku looked unhappy, Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En hurriedly took the list over, and their eyes, which had been narrowed into slits, now widened.

"Nonsense! Konoha absolutely does not agree to this!"

Utane Koharu spoke first. She was a medical ninja when she was young, and she knew that medical ninjas played a key role in Konoha's ability to withstand the siege of the four major countries. If this kind of skill was given to other villages, it would undoubtedly be a waste of effort.

"This is Yuyin's condition. If you don't agree, we'll leave."

Xiu Jin followed Ye Lan's instructions and lay leisurely on the chair. It must be said that the workmanship of Konoha's chairs is better than that of Yuyin. It is quite comfortable to lie on it.

Utane Koharu, who was the most impatient, wanted to say something but was stopped by Mito Kado En.

"This condition is indeed a bit excessive, but it is still possible to discuss it."

Utane Koharu looked at her old partner in front of her with some disbelief. The old friend who usually shared the same hatred with her did not help her, but instead seemed to be willing to agree.

Shikaku looked at the list in detail. Although the other party wanted information about medical technology, they only needed the most basic part. What hurt Shikaku was the other party's suppression of drug prices. You know, the Nara family is Konoha's largest drug supplier.

If he agreed to this condition, he would lose a lot of money. On the other hand, he didn't make much money in Yuyin before. The medicines that Yuyin bought from Konoha were quite scarce, and it was only recently that it started to expand its scale.

Even though Lu Jiu understood this, he still felt a little sad, as he could have earned more.

"It's outrageous to cut the price of medical supplies by 70%, and there's also a 50% profit for the factory. I'm sorry to say this is not a fair deal at all."

Lu Jiu shook his head again holding the list. He didn't expect that this seemingly honest Xiu would become like this. What happened in just one day?

"Mr. Shikaku, you can't say that."

Liang first took over Lu Jiu's topic and continued.

"As far as I know, the price of medicine in Konoha is only 30% of that in Amegakure. As partners, it is not too much for us to ask for the same treatment."

Before Shikaku could think of how to answer, Utane Koharu spoke first, "Little girl, everyone here knows how far it is from Amegakure to Konoha. If we really do what's on the list, Konoha won't even get its money back."

This was the sentence Liang was waiting for, a sly smile in his eyes made Shikaku's heart sink.

"Then the transportation part will be borne by us, Yuyin. We can just buy the medical supplies directly in Konoha. Is that ok?"

Although the words sounded a little aggrieved, there was a sense of pride in Liang's words that could not be concealed.

Mito Kado En gave Utane Koharu a displeased look. How many times had he jumped into the trap set by the other party? Where had his usual cleverness in scheming against the Konoha ninjas gone?

Knowing that she had not performed well, Koharu Tsuchiya stepped back and left the mess to Shikaku and his old friend to deal with.

Lu Jiu pinched his brows, resisted the urge to get angry, looked over Liang at Xiu who was as salted as a fish and said.

"Shuu-jounin, if this is really the case, then the cooperation between Konoha and Amegakure will have to end here."

After observing for a while, Lu Jiu realized that this was definitely not the other party's bottom line. The price of the medicinal materials was indeed a little unacceptable to him, but once the factory was built, the various benefits it would bring were beyond imagination. Konoha must not let the other party see weakness now.

"Is this Konoha's sincerity? We purchased directly from Konoha and took care of the transportation ourselves, and you are still not satisfied? This cooperation is a technical support between the two villages. Amegakure has given you the greatest respect by not asking for your core technology."

Without waiting for Xiu to speak, Ye Lan’s words almost choked the other people to death.

Originally, Shikaku planned to ignore the other party as he was a Chunin and go directly to find Xiu, but he didn't expect that this Jonin named Lan Ye would appear and kill him halfway.

"Do you know that in order to research this technology, the entire Rain Village worked hard and spent a huge amount of money. At that time, almost all the steel factories were closed. If it weren't for the full support of Hanzo-sama, these decades of research would have come to nothing. Do you think you can get it so easily?"

Ye Lan spoke clearly and vividly, and his words were full of emotion from time to time, which attracted the attention of the whole audience.

Xiu, who was sitting next to him, straightened his body involuntarily. The others in Yuyin looked at Ye Lan with admiration. Hydrangea was even more stunned, as if this was really the case in the village.

If Xiu didn’t know the whole story, he would definitely believe Ye Lan’s words at this moment.

The more excited Ye Lan's tone became, the uglier Lu Jiu's expression became. He didn't expect that this young and inexperienced ninja would be so difficult to deal with.

"Ahem, we already know how difficult it is to develop this technology in your village. Let's talk about medical technology."

Mizuto Menen knew that he couldn't let Ye Lan continue talking, so he coughed to interrupt him and change the subject. If he continued talking, it would all be Konoha's fault, and how could they display the demeanor of a great country?

Ye Lan also knew the principle of knowing when to stop, so he stopped directly. Talking too much would have a negative effect.

Shikaku also breathed a sigh of relief. If Mito Kado En didn't interrupt, today's negotiations would have to be terminated. He cleared his throat and continued.

"Regarding medical supplies..."

What followed was a tug-of-war between the two sides. In this negotiation table where no force was used, the two sides exchanged sharp words with each other. Xiu also joined the battle, and it was unclear who would win for a while.

Konoha has also paid sincerity, and the medical achievements have also come at a heavy price. There is already a basis for cooperation with other major countries, and Sunagakure is also an ally of Konoha.

They use all kinds of soft and hard tactics, without stopping, with one goal in mind: to lower the price.

Fortunately, Xiu was well prepared and responded calmly. He seemed not to hear the other party's threats. He just kept saying that Konoha was a peace-loving village and that they should be magnanimous.

It's not easy for a small Yuyin village to achieve something. They chose Konoha because of its quality. Their pretentiousness makes the other party feel embarrassed to say harsh words.

Finally, after a day of discussion, both parties reached a price that was barely acceptable to both parties.

Konoha agreed to sell medicines and supplies to Yugyakure at 40% of the original price, but Yugyakure needed to bear the transportation on its own. Books on medical technology were further opened to Yugyakure, and anyone below level B could observe and learn.

Similarly, Amegakure assisted Konoha in establishing two automobile factories and sent technical personnel to provide guidance. Amegakure accounted for 35% of the profits, while Konoha accounted for 65%. At the same time, it also required Konoha to send craftsmen to Amegakure for further training. Amegakure could also send ninjas to Konoha to learn medical ninjutsu.

Seeing that it was over, Mizuto Menen and Utane Koharu didn't want to stay any longer. They glanced at Ye Lan, snorted coldly, and left.

Lu Jiudao still had some composure. He breathed a sigh of relief after it was over and stretched out a hand towards Xiu. This time he witnessed the extraordinary talents of these Rain Ninjas.

Xiu smiled. No matter what, the result was much better than he had imagined, thanks to Ye Lan's outstanding performance. He also stretched out his hand and held the other person's hand.

"Pleasant to work with."
