Volume 5 Chapter 108 Not prepared

More and Sandy’s negotiations couldn’t last that long.

After getting the clear conditions of the elves from Sandy, More immediately left.

Sandy was right, there was a deadline for using the fertilizer. If they missed the best period for fertilizing the spring planting, the Sack Kingdom will miss that spring planting.

According to the information from the Lampuri Kingdom and the Stantine Duchy, farms that used fertilizer had their output increased by several folds.

If they could use the fertilizer in this spring planting, the Sack Kingdom’s grain yield this year might increase again and they might even be able to become completely self-sufficient.

Of course, he didn’t leave Banta City, which was chosen as the place of negotiations with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce this time. He used another channel to send this information back to the Sack Kingdom.

While patiently waiting for the final response of his majesty and the parliament, he needed to keep inspecting Banta City and working hard to learn more things from this shocking city.

However, More never thought that as soon as he left, there was someone who he had never expected to come that entered the negotiations room.

Seeing this person walk in, Sandy’s expression changed from being ice cold to having a full smile.

“Chairman Xu, what do you think of my performance just now? Did it meet the negotiations requirement you mentioned?”

Xu Yi turned to look at More who was quickly leaving before turning back to Sandy with a faint smile as he asked, “What do you think?”

Sandy was in a daze for a bit before shaking her head with a discouraged look, “It seems like it wasn’t good enough. Chairman Xu, the human negotiation skills you mentioned are just too hard, I can’t learn it no matter what.”

Xu Yi gave a laugh before patting her shoulder, “Actually, you don’t need to learn our human negotiation skills. If we’re talking about results alone, what you did just now was already quite good. Look, because of your performance, this chief More will think that there isn’t a chance to bargain back and forth with you, so they can only accept your condition in the end.”

“He didn’t accept it, he just said that need time to consider it.” Sandy said in a surprised voice.

“Believe me, they will accept it in the end.” Xu Yi said in a confident voice.

“Is that so?” Sandy thought about it before revealing a smile, “That would be great. That way the elder can achieve her wish and our tribe can have another space to survive in.”

Seeing Sandy’s happy appearance, Xu Yi slightly knit his brows.

“Actually…..Sandy, I still don’t understand why elder Lisanya insists on getting this piece of land. The Sack Kingdom has a strong need for fertilizer, so just like More said, they could agree to any conditions that you have. Why didn’t you take this chance to get better conditions from them?”

Sandy shook her head, “I’m not too clear, but I feel…..The elder wants our tribe to get a piece of land that truly belongs to us.”

Xu Yi fell silent.

After thinking for a bit, he suddenly understood.

Perhaps it was because the elves didn’t have any land that completely belonged to them in the thousands of years after the race wars, so they had a strong longing for this kind of land.

For example, when the Azshara Tribe negotiated with the Rudson Kingdom, their first condition was to let the Rudosn Kingdom give them a piece of land.

For the Rudson Kingdom, this land was already a wasteland and was occupied by the Azshara Tribe. Even if the Azshara Tribe didn’t want it, it was still controlled by the Azshara Tribe, so it only belonged to the Rudson Kingdom in name.

Compared to gaining actual benefits from the Azshara Tribe, this ownership in name wasn’t important.

Even if many humans cared about this, the Rudson Kingdom had ten thousand ways to solve the problem of who owned it in name.

Now that the Moon Shadow Tribe had put forth the same request from the Sack Kingdom, the Sack Kingdom would finally agree in the end after carefully considering it.

After all, the piece of land that the Moon Shadow Tribe was also useless for the Sack Kingdom and using it to get the most important fertilizer meant they didn’t suffer a loss at all.

Thinking of this, Xu Yi thought of the Night Song Tribe.

The Azshara Tribe needed territory, the Moon Shadow Tribe also needed territory, but the Night Song Tribe that Xu Yi had met first didn’t make the same request.

Of course, perhaps this was because of the Night Song Tribe’s population of just over a thousand, so they didn’t have an urgent need for territory.

“Right, chairman Xu, can I ask you for a favour?” Sandy suddenly said.

“Un? What is it? Tell me.”

“You’re going to the Magic Sedan race in a bit, right? You should meet the elder, right?”

“Yes, what about it? Do you want me to help you report the results of the negotiations with the Sack Kingdom?” Xu Yi asked.

“Un. Something happened at the factory, so I can’t go. Can you tell the elder about the results?”

“No problem.” Xu Yi nodded and paused before saying, “You have indeed been busy during this time. If nothing unexpected happens, the Sack Kingdom will agree to your conditions. According to the estimates, the Sack Kingdom will need to buy at least a hundred thousand tons of fertilizer to plant all their wheat, so this will be a lot of pressure for your current production capacity.”

“Yes……” Sandy nodded and revealed a difficult smile, “Chairman Xu, I wanted to discuss something with you. Our fertilizer factory wants to order another set of processing equipment, it would be best if it could be delivered at the end of the month. Otherwise, even if the Sack Kingdom accepts this condition, we might not be able to produce enough fertilizer.”

Xu Yi gave a laugh, “Sandy, if I told you that the new fertilizer processing equipment is already on the way, would you be very surprised?”

Sandy’s eyes opened wide in shock, “Really? That is great! Chairman Xu, you are really too…..intelligent!”
