Chapter 728: Chapter 310 Pressing Hard_3 Chapter 728: Chapter 310 Pressing Hard_3 Once everyone was seated, Yan Fei got straight to the point, “Ladies and gentlemen, I've reviewed your information, and I know who you are. I believe you know me too, so there's no need to waste time with introductions. Let's get right to the point!”

Yan Fei spoke in Chinese, and then the young woman by his side translated his words into English for the negotiators from the three countries. This young woman was named Huang Lin, and she was the translator specifically assigned to Yan Fei by Lu Pingping; she also doubled as the meeting's recorder.

Besides Chinese, Yan Fei had also mastered English, Japanese, and Italian, languages he had instantaneously learned through the Knowledge Infusion ability of the Drone. When it came to proficiency in these three languages, there was no one in the world more skilled than Yan Fei.

In the current world, English remained the primary language of negotiation, and Yan Fei's English was better than that of anyone else present. However, despite this being a formal negotiation, he chose not to speak in English but in Chinese, and then let his own translator handle the English translation.

The negotiators from the three countries perked up, not expecting Yan Fei to skip the introductory process and dive straight into the main topic. This move also subtly undermined their negotiation tactics, as they had numerous methods for small talk and probing during introductions, which Yan Fei had now abruptly bypassed, throwing off their rhythm. However, since today's negotiation was led by Yan Fei, they had no choice but to constantly adapt to his rules.

Yan Fei stated, “First of all, I need to clarify that you're negotiating with two pirate organizations, 'Blackbeard' and 'Captain Morgan,' not with me, Yan Fei. I'm merely an intermediary responsible only for relaying information between you and the pirate organizations. So, if you have any questions, don't ask me, I know nothing.”

Everyone somewhat despised Yan Fei, knowing full well that those two pirate organizations were fictitious. Yet Yan Fei clung to this narrative, distancing himself completely from the negotiation. However, as they were all diplomats and negotiators, blessed with the same shameless spirit, they actually felt a strange sense of camaraderie with Yan Fei's statement.

A negotiator from Japan took the lead and asked, “Mr. Yan Fei, we can all represent our respective countries in this negotiation, and we have previously submitted our letters of authorization to your reception staff. May I ask if you have the full authority to represent the opinions of the pirate organizations?”

This was a necessary part of formal negotiations–to confirm the identities of both parties.

Yan Fei replied with a smile, “I have already confirmed your qualifications for negotiation, and of course, I can fully represent the pirate organizations in negotiations with you. However, I do not have a letter of authorization.”

The Japanese negotiator awkwardly said, “Since you are Mr. Yan Fei, your status is different, and we all trust your word–there's no need for a letter of authorization.”

Yan Fei continued, “As long as your terms meet the requirements of the pirate organizations, I can immediately announce the success of your negotiation. You will end the state of war with the pirate organizations and naturally will no longer be subject to their missile attacks. But before these negotiations begin, I need to discuss the issues between your three countries and Dream Technology.”

The negotiator from Ghana said, “Mr. Yan Fei, the government department of our country has made the necessary apology to Dream Technology and clarified the safety of your products, as well as lifted the bans on them, as you requested. We have done all of that.”

Yan Fei stated, “Correct, I've seen your sincerity. But you seem to have forgotten one thing–that you must provide economic compensation to Dream Technology. Until now, I have not seen any compensation from you.”

The Australian negotiator said, “Mr. Yan Fei, you did not specify the amount of the compensation, which can only be finalized during negotiations. It's not that we are deliberately delaying the compensation.”

Mr. Yan Fei said, “In that case, let's determine the compensation amount before entering the formal negotiations!”

The Japanese negotiator asked, “Mr. Yan Fei, how should this compensation amount be determined?”

With a wave of his hand, Huang Lin beside him picked up a stack of papers from the table and distributed them to the negotiating teams of the three countries.

Mr. Yan Fei said, “Because your countries have made severe provocative acts against Dream Technology and, due to your provocation, have caused tremendous economic losses to Dream Technology, you must compensate Dream Technology. The data you have received includes a detailed breakdown of the losses suffered by Dream Technology this time and the compensation amount you owe.”

The Australian representative glanced at the figures in the data and was immediately shocked, saying, “Mr. Yan Fei, why should Australia pay ten billion US dollars? How did you calculate this amount? Keep in mind that Australia only sold one and a half billion US dollars of your company's products last year. This time we only banned one of your products and for just one month; it couldn't possibly cause such a major loss to you. So why such a large compensation?”

Mr. Yan Fei laughed and said, “As you just mentioned, that was last year's sales figure. The period when you banned our company's products actually fell during our products' peak selling season. After laying the groundwork for two years, our products were supposed to explode in sales that month, with revenues of at least fifty billion US dollars. Now, due to your ban, we have lost sales of fifty billion US dollars, of which our profit losses are at least twenty billion US dollars. Asking you to compensate ten billion US dollars is already quite reasonable.”

The color drained from the Australian negotiator's face; Mr. Yan Fei's words seemed rather overbearing and irrational. No matter how you calculated it, Australia couldn't possibly sell fifty billion US dollars of Dream Technology products in one month, and thus couldn't inflict a loss of twenty billion US dollars on Dream Technology. According to their economic experts' calculations, because of the ban, Dream Technology's losses in Australia didn't even come close to one hundred million US dollars. With one statement, Mr. Yan Fei had inflated the losses by a hundredfold. He said, “Mr. Yan Fei, I believe a professional should estimate the specific economic losses.”

Mr. Yan Fei's expression changed as he said, “Are you implying that our people from Dream Island are not professional?”

In that moment, the Australian representative felt the formidable pressure emanating from Mr. Yan Fei and became somewhat fearful. He promptly said, “Mr. Yan Fei, that's not what I meant. My point is that we can have a detailed negotiation on this issue between our two parties.”

Mr. Yan Fei said coldly, “If Australia cannot meet my condition, then you might as well not participate in these negotiations. We will not inform the Pirate Organization of your negotiation proposal. Without receiving your proposal, the Pirate Organization will relaunch their missile attack on Australia tonight. However, this time the intensity of their attack will be significantly increased, and the target will likely be the densely populated city of Sydney.”

The Australian representative became anxious and said, “Didn't the Pirate Organization declare a ceasefire for ten days? It hasn't even been three days yet, how can they go back on their word?”

Mr. Yan Fei sneered, “Since they are a Pirate Organization, it means they are heartless thugs. Do you think a bunch of thugs will keep their word? What they seek is lawlessness and freedom. Since you're not meeting my demands, they will feel that you lack sincerity, will feel insulted, and will certainly attack with double the effort. So, Australia, you'd better pray for your luck!”

The Australian representative wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, “Mr. Yan Fei, I request a recess to contact our domestic officials.”
