Business negotiation is the same as a quarrel between husband and wife, momentum accounts for a large factor, if the situation is completely controlled by one party, the other party subconsciously follows one party, then the fight is lost, no matter how noisy you can't win.
Martinez Silva is now completely following Li Mu's rhythm, and the situation is completely controlled by Li Mu, don't look at Martinez Silva is now hard-mouthed, but sooner or later, Martinez Silva will agree to all Li Mu's requests.
"Listen to all my conditions first, and then give me your answer" Li Mu did not give Martinez Silva a chance to speak, and wanted to give Martinez Silva a temptation that could not be refused: "If the right to build and use the Panama Canal is handed over to our Panama Canal Company, all the costs of building the Panama Canal will be borne by our Panama Canal Company, no matter how much money there is, it does not need to be repaid by the Colombian government, and at the same time, I can promise you now, After the completion of the construction of the Panama Canal, during the lease of the Panama Canal by our Panama Canal Company, the Panama Canal Company will pay a lease fee of $100,000 per year to the Colombian government, and the opening of the Panama Canal will bring a steady stream of profits to the Colombian government, so think about it, Martinez, it seems that the time is indeed a little longer, But you have to know that our Panama Canal Company is a commercial company, there is no good thing, we will never do it, and the cost of building the canal will be hundreds of millions of dollars, this money does not need to be borne by your Colombian government, think about it, when after 99 years, your Colombian government will get a canal for nothing, and during these 99 years, the Panama Canal will always help the Colombian government make money."
Li Mu is like the devil in Martinez Silva's heart, breaking Martinez Silva's inner defense line bit by bit.
Of course, this is not enough, in the final analysis, how much money the Panama Canal makes and how much money is lost is the Zebra Canal Company, or the Colombian government, and has nothing to do with Martinez Silva personally, so Li Mu also prepared a big gift for Martinez Silva: "In order to thank Mr.
Martinez for your help to our Panama Canal Company in the matter of the Panama Canal, the Canal Management Committee has decided to give you a part of the shares of the Panama Canal Company to express our gratitude to you." stock It is the Panama Canal Company stock that was speculated some time ago, and everyone wants to get it, which is different from giving money directly, the money will always be spent one day, and the stock will bring a steady stream of dividends.
"I, I need to think about it" Martinez Silva has actually surrendered, but is still holding on on to it.
It does take a certain amount of time to agree to all the conditions of Li Mu, but time is not reserved for Martinez Silva, but for the Colombian government and the Colombian Congress.
As the president's special envoy, Martinez Silva is still only a mouthpiece, and he has no influence on the actual decision.
It can't be said that there is no impact at all, when Martinez Silva relayed the Panama Canal Company's request to the Colombian government and the Colombian Congress, Martinez Silva can still play a role, maybe it is the use of a certain keyword, or maybe the emphasis is emphasized, in short, it is the art of words, and this is exactly what Martinez Silva is best at.
At the end of March, the Senate actually held a hearing on whether to activate the Nicaragua Canal project.
At the invitation of Li Mu, Martinez Silva was also able to attend the hearing.
The auditorium is located on the second floor of the Capitol Building, and you can sit on the auditorium and overlook the entire Congress Hall.
After taking a seat in the auditorium, Li Mu could clearly feel the panic and uneasiness in Martinez Silva's heart.
That's right, it's panic, although Martinez Silva has seen a lot of big scenes and experienced similar occasions, but after all, this is the US Congress, and the topic is about the fate of Panama, so Martinez Silva can't take it lightly.
"Compared with the Panama Canal, the Nicaragua Canal has many advantages, first of all, the geographical location, the construction of the Nicaragua Canal, with the help of Lake Nicaragua and the San Juan River, will greatly reduce the difficulty of construction, so as to save costs, reduce consumption, see the benefits as soon as possible More importantly, compared to the Colombian government, the Nicaraguan government is more welcoming to our investment, they are more enthusiastic, which is in stark contrast to the Colombian government, and I think we have to respond to this enthusiasm.
At the same time, some arrogant guys should be taught a lesson, there are always people who will not be able to do their best", the moderator of the meeting, the new Secretary of State, William Maximiler Evatt, preferred the Nicaragua Canal.
Li Mu's household registration is in Springfield, Massachusetts, if you count it like this, Li Mu and William Elva can be regarded as fellow villagers.
William Elva, who is also a native of Massachusetts, was born into a family of lawyers, received a good education from an early age, graduated from Yale University, and later went on to study law at Harvard University, and served as U.S.
Attorney General during Andrew Johnson's presidency before becoming Secretary of State.
During William Elva's tenure as U.S.
Attorney General, Andrew Johnson was impeached, which was also the first time in U.S. history that a president was impeached.
After Hayes became president, he appointed William Elva as secretary of state, which was also the first time that William Elva made his voice heard as secretary of state in Congress.
It seems that William Elva, as the secretary of state, is not able to convince the public, as soon as William Elva's words fell, the entire political hall immediately became noisy, the Republicans applauded fiercely to express their support for William Elva, and the Democrats were slapping the table and knocking on the bench, they were deliberately making trouble and deliberately embarrassing William Elva.
In the midst of the opposition, Winfield Scott Hancock's voice was particularly loud: "We should not have started the Nicaragua Canal plan, if I remember correctly, just a month ago we decided to launch the Panama Canal plan, and if we now turn our target to Nicaragua, then what authority does our Senate decision have" Winfield Hancock's speech was met with loud applause from the Democrats, and this time it was replaced by Republicans slapping the table, who made a huge noise, again for the sake of opposition.
"The problem now is that the Colombian government has begun to engage with the French, so we have to make our voices heard, the Americas are the Americas of the Americans, and the Americas are the Americas of the Americas, and we have to be firm and make everyone understand that the decisions of the American government are beyond question, let alone changeable.
Elva's usual radical, aggressive attitude was evident in his speech.
"As you said, the Colombians have already started to engage with the French, and if we start the Nicaragua Canal now, it will be a joke, and we should let the French who are not able to do it themselves, and when they can't finish it, we will take over, which is the best thing to do in the interests of the United States."
Winfield Hancock was equally insisting.
Despite being a Republican, William Elva, like the vast majority of Democrats, is a standard nationalist.
Historically, the Chinese Exclusion Act was enacted by William Elva.
Winfield Hancock, a Democrat with a strong Republican background, was a Northern Army general during the Civil War, served in the Army for 30 years, fought in the Mexican-American War, presided over negotiations with the Indians, and earned the nickname "Hancock Excellence" in the Civil War.
Last year's election defeat finally forced the Democrats to face reality once again, and this time the Democrats are keenly aware that if they don't change, they will never be able to defeat the Republicans.
So after the election, the Democrats quietly changed their approach and recruited more fresh forces to join, and Winfield Hancock was one of the achievements of the Democrats.
In fact, Winfield Hancock is right, if you stand on the side of the US government, then waiting to take over the French talent is the best choice.
However, for Li Mu and them, this choice is obviously terrible, so William Elva must firmly state his attitude: "We are the United States, a country favored by God, and my honor requires me to do things above board, so we can't pin our hopes on the failure of the French, we should show our own ability and build a canal that belongs entirely to the United States." ” This is the true face of politicians, who, in order to prove their justice, can ignore the facts, can be unscrupulous, and speak with great grandeur.
"I don't think it's good" Martinez Silva kept wiping his sweat, obviously it was only March, but it gave Li Mu the feeling that summer had arrived early in Martinez Silva.
"So, there's not much time left for you, and there's not much time left for us."
Li Mu is in a good state of mind now and can face this matter calmly.
With the presidential palace as the backing, it feels different, looking at William Elva on the stage with a righteous face, fighting for the interests of Li Mu, and then looking at Winfield Hancock, who is at a disadvantage in the audience, but is fearless, Li Mu feels like drinking a bottle of cold beer in summer.
This is what it's like to be the boss behind the scenes, except for Li Mu and his gang, who else can incite the dignified US Secretary of State to stand up for them "If you can't start the Nicaragua Canal, if you can't start the Nicaragua Canal, that's going to be a disaster," Martinez Silva muttered to himself, which was exactly the reaction Li Mu wanted.
"If the Colombian government backtracks, then we can adjust our goals and target the Colombian government, instead of starting the Nicaragua Canal, which is costly and costly, which is not the right way to deal with it."
Winfield Hancock has been a soldier for half his life, and he is not so easily convinced.
"The Colombian government will definitely learn a lesson, but until then, we should pass on our attitude to the Colombian government unambiguously, which will reduce a lot of our troubles.
In Elva's opinion, if he can fight without defeating the army, that is the best choice.

Li Mu sat on the second floor, looking at Martinez Silva, who was pale and sweating profusely, and couldn't help but feel ridiculous.
In the hall of Congress, a group of people are discussing against the Colombian government, but Martinez Silva, who is a Colombian, can do nothing about it and can only passively accept it, which is simply ridiculous, if it was Li Mu, I am afraid that Li Mu would have been unable to help but explode.
The two-and-a-half-hour meeting, almost a century long for Martinez Silva, felt his legs tremble as he walked out of the Capitol.
Li Mu asked the driver to send Martinez Silva back, but he didn't get into the car, and Martinez Silva needed time to digest the information he got today.
When William Elva came out, Li Mu immediately greeted him.
"Mr.
Secretary, your performance today is truly impressive.
Elva was commended for his efforts.
Considering that it was William Elva who single-handedly formulated the Chinese Exclusion Act in history, Li Mu felt very uncomfortable when facing William Elva, which was similar to how Li Mu felt when facing the Japanese.
Now Li Mu can also do it, see people talk about people, and talk nonsense when he sees ghosts, although he has a bad impression of William Elva, Li Mu can still hide his emotions very well.
"Mr.
Ream, it's all about work, it's just a matter of duty.
Facing Li Mu, Elva is completely free of arrogance and rudeness in another time and space, and the smile on his face is very mature, which makes people feel cordial, but also reserved, and can do it so skillfully, it must be practiced in front of the mirror.
After all, Hayes was single-handedly pushed to power by Li Mu, and William Elva was appointed as Secretary of State by Hayes himself, so Li Mu is the boss of William Elva's boss, which makes William Elva face how hard can Li Mu get up
