Negotiation Contradictions

It is not without reason that the Toss civilization thinks this way. The new human civilization is a relatively young civilization. It has not been in the trading market for a long time, only more than 30 years, and the accumulated reputation is not much.

Wouldn't it be a free gift? This is absolutely impossible!

Between civilizations, there are only interests, so what is the friendship in the past?

What's more, the Tuos people are cold-blooded animals, and their feelings are more indifferent than other civilizations. The last thing they believe in is the so-called friendship.

All in all, they didn't have too many expectations. Even if the other party is suspected of fraud, they will not lose anything by running over to try it out. What if...the other party is not a fraud?

As if seeing some thoughts of the other party, Foreign Minister Chen Mu said solemnly: "We do have clues to the curvature technology. Before telling the complete news, we think that your civilization needs to mortgage 5,000 amoeba points in the trading market ."

"If your civilization accidentally leaks this important news, the mortgaged 5,000 amoeba points will be transferred to human accounts. The secret will be kept for 3,000 years."

These are all countermeasures discussed in advance.

"At the same time, we believe that the price of this news is 2000 amoeba points. Your civilization needs to pay 2000 amoeba points after this."

After hearing this, the giant salamander named "Thomas" was taken aback, and immediately interrupted: "Dear human civilization, this is absolutely impossible! We don't know what the news is, it's impossible So pay any sliver of points."

"Perhaps we need Huantai interstellar trading market as an intermediate platform to evaluate this news. If the interstellar trading market thinks that this news is really possible to infer curvature technology, we can continue to negotiate."

"That's okay." Chen Mu nodded and uploaded the prepared information.

Huantai civilization is already a fourth-level civilization, so it is easy to deduce the authenticity of this news.

And for Huantai civilization, this kind of known news is actually not worth much.

After a while, the representative of Huantai civilization, Coco Filiform Wart, said: "I'm sorry, we can't judge this news. Any clues about curvature technology are the core technology of the fourth-level civilization, and this Clues to this aspect are very complex and are contained in every aspect of physics."

"You can infer clues from this little place, and you can infer from that little corner that it's not unique."

"In the trading market, 8,000-10,000 amoeba points are needed just to buy the value of these seemingly correct clues."

"To judge the correctness of a curvature clue and whether it has a chance of success, you also need to pay 1,000 amoeba points. Otherwise, some interstellar civilizations submit their papers for a long time for us to judge their correctness, which will waste a lot of money in our entire trading market energy."

"Then, are you both willing to pay 1,000 amoeba points to let the interstellar trading market intervene and judge its rationality? And serve as an intermediate platform for this fair transaction."

1000 amoeba points!

Everyone's eyes widened, this is really ridiculously expensive, beyond people's previous expectations, the transaction fee in the interstellar trading market will not exceed 0.1% of the contract amount, but this time, it is too expensive.

This is the first time Chen Mu has heard of such a thing, but after thinking about it, it seems to make sense... There is a charge for letting people judge right or wrong with his own brain. Otherwise, if you have 100 million brain holes and let the other party judge 100 million times, you can exhaustively enumerate them by exhaustive method alone!

He licked his dry lips and asked, "Can it be cheaper."

Cocoa filiform wart said: "I'm sorry, but we can't discount our previous friendship. This is a matter of principle. There are also related interstellar conventions between the fourth-level civilizations. Some fourth-level civilizations do not want a large number of third-level civilizations. Obtain curvature technology, because this is the fundamental superiority of the fourth-level civilization... We cannot violate the corresponding interstellar convention."

In essence, the essential gap between the third-level civilization and the fourth-level civilization is the mobility problem brought about by the curvature technology.

The fourth-level civilization can exceed the speed of light, but the third-level civilization can only move near the cosmic string.

As for some other technologies, a longer lifespan, a shorter lifespan, and faster or slower electromagnetic guns will not actually bring about qualitative changes.

Some third-level civilizations with profound foundations can even surpass fourth-level civilizations in certain technologies.

This time, the negotiations fell into a dilemma.

The reputation of human beings is not enough for the Toss civilization to pay points first and then listen to the news.

This is the bottom line of the Toss civilization. 2,000 amoeba points are not a small number. The sum of all their possessions is only six to seven thousand points.

This is the accumulation of 30,000 years!

If you pay first, what you get is a fake news? Even if these Tuos people commit suicide, they are not enough to apologize to their own civilization!

Conversely, if human beings are asked to reveal the news first, and then the other party pays, human beings are unwilling again.

Since the intermediate platform is unwilling to intervene, it is difficult to guarantee the interests of human beings. The other party already knew the news, would they still pay two thousand amoeba points? Can human beings force each other to forget?

Of course not, this is not some rotten cabbage, so what if you regret it?

At most, the two sides will turn against each other, and they will never communicate with each other... They will not communicate with each other forever, and in exchange for a piece of curvature news, it will be a lot of money.

The only thing that cannot be bought in the interstellar trading market around Thailand is force. You can lease battle stars to transport things, you can also rent spaceships from level 4 civilizations to deliver messages, and you can even buy some war weapons from level 4 civilizations, but you can't spend money to buy force and exterminate another civilization.

Maintaining peace is the fundamental condition for the existence of the trading market. At least peace on the surface is needed, otherwise the whole world would have been in chaos long ago, who would come to the trading market to do business? So even if there is hatred, it is impossible to fight in the trading market.

When this happened, everyone present discussed in low voices. Zhang Yuan frowned, and couldn't think of a particularly good solution for a while.

Negotiations are in trouble...

In the past, people thought that under the witness of Huantai civilization, the two parties signed a contract and let the trading market guarantee the execution of the contract.

The million-year goodwill of Huantai civilization should not be greedy for thousands of amoeba points. Goodwill is an intangible asset, which is easy to lose but difficult to earn back. Although there are risks in doing so, people can always bear it.

Now, let this big bug act as a middleman to judge the authenticity of a news, and it will cost 1000 amoeba points! It's so expensive that people simply can't afford it.
