"Oh, it''s really difficult."


    The heated talks entered a break. Although the venue of the party turned back to the dock and the dishes of Chinese food were basically complete, it still took time to set the table and set the plate after all.


    Carmen is aiming for this little bit of free time.


    Taking advantage of the gap, Lorraine and tussela, who are facing the wheat awn at the tip of the needle, are finally artificially separated. Carmen accompanied Lorraine to stand at the end of the plank road, looking at the boundless Atlantic Ocean and listening to Lorraine''s rare juvenile complaint.


    However, in fact, there is nothing to complain about. Knowing the fundamentals makes the confrontation easily show the essence of bargaining in Lorraine''s eyes. Everything is a means, and the arguments are all performances.


    After complaining for a while, Lorraine took a deep breath and calmed down.


    Carmen took a step closer and whispered, "Sir, we insist on buying back land as the premise of setting up a town in Miami. If we don''t give in, maybe today..."


    Once again, "too stingy to pull out a hair," he said, "I am not a mere person." Lorraine and a double breath, "but a successful transaction requires both sides to pay. Unilateral concession is not business, but beg to surrender."


    "The old man is too greedy. The municipal administration, customs, taxation, public security, justice and perhaps defense. If I want to completely eliminate the political disputes in Miami, I have to give him all these."


    "What does the transfer of these rights represent? If converted into land, it is the whole Hekou Town, more than half of Miami Beach, and the whole line of South Biscay islands, which is geographically important."


    "Captain..." Carmen hesitated for a long time. "I must remind you that if this negotiation fails, we will not have a chance to stand again until the new governor arrives with the stubbornness that Sir tussela has always shown."


    The warm wind is gentle.


    A breeze came from the end of the Atlantic Ocean and wrinkled the sea. In the distance, flying fish leaped out of the water, groups and strings, glittering silver in the sun, forming a beautiful ribbon.


    "So we can''t give in," Lorraine said faintly.


    "Florida... 30 years ago, it had the best chance to rise. Ms. Oakville of the office told me that at that time, Fort Moses began to take shape, Spain''s policy towards blacks moved the Indians, and the racial hatred that lasted for hundreds of years came to an end."


    "Three times in a row, Spaniards, blacks and Indians joined hands to guard St. Augustine and jointly repulse the British attack. This common hatred atmosphere made Spain see the prospect of developing Florida, and Europe once set off an upsurge of immigration."


    "However, Spain''s economic structure is too bad. Before this upsurge spread to the capital field, the Spaniards lost the seven-year war in 1763 and were forced to hand over Florida to Britain."


    "The development momentum of Fort Moses was suppressed, the Indians thought they had been betrayed, and the British got the coveted Florida, but they found that their domestic interest in this land was even less than that of cold Canada."


    "There is nothing here except fish and savages. This is the evaluation of Florida by the first British governor. His words have dealt a devastating blow to the already few enthusiasm on the British island. The reason why we can win the whole Miami area with the support of the authorities is that this land is worthless in their eyes."


    "Then, now. The independence of the United States finally brought Spain back. They took Florida back, but they found that things are different."


    "Most of the patriarchs who supported them in those years are dead, and a few who are still alive are old. The new generation of young people are still wary of whites."


    "The culture is complex, the people are distracted, and the racial contradictions are sharp and mean. Britain''s 21 years of inaction has destroyed the painstaking management of the Spaniards for hundreds of years. Even its domestic yearning for Florida has disappeared because of the recent deterioration of the economic environment."


    "The Spanish dignitaries know that they have lost the best chance to develop this land. As the new governor, sir tucera and his followers must also understand the reason why they won the election among a group of competitors."


    "They are excellent soldiers, self disciplined and arrogant. Under their leadership, the Florida army is also a worthy elite in the Spanish army system in the new world."


    "But they have no talent for local business. In 1784, the total tax revenue of the six towns in Florida was less than 30000 pounds, 50% of the local tax was cut off, and the annual revenue of the governor''s office was less than 15000 pounds."


    "What about our Miami? Since Miami Beach opened its port in April 84, the transaction tax in the first eight months was 3362 pounds, and there are 26 days to end in the second eight months. The transaction tax has reached 8957 pounds. It is certain that the total revenue will exceed 10000 in 1785."


    "Miami has a free port system, no customs, and the commercial tax is 3 points lower than Florida''s standard, only 4%. Even under these conditions, I am still confident that Miami''s finance will reach the total of six towns in Florida within three years."


    "That''s the difference between businessmen and soldiers!" Lorraine bited heavily at the end. "Is tucera''s offer higher than that of building a town? To be honest, it''s not high."


    "Among the four towns in operation, Hekou Town, Xueyuan Town, Hanya town and Miami Beach, only the college and Hanya town are really closely related to the development of the chamber of Commerce. Hekou is an immigrant Town, and who is in charge has no impact on us. Miami Beach is a port area, and the administrative income is not worth mentioning in our whole profit system."


    "Even if we add the other six towns in the plan, we need to retain the dominant power. In fact, only the two manufacturing towns related to industry."


    "The chamber of commerce is not a kingdom. We don''t need extra land to raise our people and grow food. We don''t need to work hard to produce all the raw materials by ourselves."


    "Putting aside the downstream self-sufficiency is a stupid decision for the chamber of Commerce. From the perspective of cost performance, it is not worth the loss to operate a comprehensive big city independently."


    "However, this does not mean that we can hand over the land we have obtained to the Spanish."


    "Tutsela is a soldier. The essence of a soldier is insatiable. Getting it easily will not make him grateful to us. It will only boost his appetite and make him think he can take anything from us. This is an illusion that must be avoided for long-term cooperation in the future."


    "But he''s too poor..." Lorraine''s expression couldn''t express his depression. "How much money can he give? How much land can he buy back? He doesn''t want to take the next political risk if there is less land, and there is more land... Let''s go back to the previous question."


    "This is where I''m upset. The old thing splashes on the ground regardless of his face and pushes all the problems to me!"


    "Can you imagine that Spain''s great chivalry can cultivate such scoundrels! Just now I really wanted to bring Katrina here and let her see with her own eyes what the country she loves has degenerated into!"


    Carmen burst out laughing. Lorraine''s childish side really made her never tire of seeing it.


    "Captain." Carmen smiled and hooked Lorraine''s little finger. "Katrina can''t get out of bed now. And even if her injury recovers, she probably can''t hear the Jazz''s code?"


    "I can break it up and explain it to her like I did just now."


    "That should be very difficult..." Carmen pouted. "I remember when the ten town plan came out, the most excited thing on the board of directors was Katrina."


    "Her knight''s mind is full of opening up territory. I''m sure I can''t understand why we want to exchange the land we have for an empty mayor."


    Lorraine glared at Carmen angrily: "I''m not going to let you comfort you by killing your companions."


    "I''m telling the truth." Carmen songkailorin''s hand stepped back under his skirt. "Captain, I have an idea."


    "Huh?"


    "I never made a major attack when we worked together. I think today may be a good opportunity."


    "Are you going to attack?"


    Lorraine''s mind immediately showed a picture of Carmen wearing blinding high heels, opening the folding fan and stepping on the governor


    Although it must be the imagination of the stream of consciousness, Carmen''s desire to attack in the negotiation field is really too strong than Lorraine, which also makes her unfit to preside over the situation from a weak position. Carmen and Lorraine know this.


    Carmen volunteered


    Lorraine''s eyes lit up: "what do you mean... Feint?"


    "I wish I could make trouble with Huanglong, but if the other party is a rogue governor, I don''t think it will be so smooth?"
