At the beginning of diplomacy, the demand information of both sides was released on that Internet window.

Humans on Earth don’t know what products they can provide, and can only ask them to show what they have.

On the other hand, they are very clear about what they need.

They list the list on the window, all of which are processed materials used for military industry, and at first glance they are materials used for "(feed) trivial development".

For example, uranium ore.

"This is a very obvious intention, right?"

After seeing their list, Zhengzhijia said:

"It's obvious that they are used to make weapons and equipment. At least they need some products such as food and clothing at the same time, so they can cover it up."

"Are they inherently flawed in scheming?"

Sociologists guessed.

After browsing, the products they display are a bit weird.

"What is this thing, like a flashlight, but has a hole like a spout. What is it for?"

"There are also this, two long small sticks, like the chopsticks of the Tang Kingdom, but why do you make knives and forks at both ends? Is this the habit of using chopsticks to change it to the habit of using knives and forks? Or do you want to change it to the habit of using knives and forks to change it to the habit of using chopsticks?"

"Their products do not involve the electronics field, they are all primary tools, and they do not disclose any of their technological information or technical content at all."

"It's too unsincere. Even if they don't have sincerity, they don't have to act so directly, right? They won't cover it up, just tell us nakedly?"

"Then, do we still want to exchange products with them?"

"You must, for the first time diplomacy, you have to let them taste some sweetness. Otherwise, if you turn them off at the beginning, it will be a big blow to their willingness to diplomatize with us."

"Okay, let's pick these chopsticks and exchange them for our steel. Try to bargain with them and determine the price system."

After the economist finished speaking, he opened the communication interface, selected the patterns of their chopsticks, and then checked the steel items in their demand column, and explained the conversion ratio to the other party in a common language.

International common words, they can be understood.

Or, they have a translation system that synchronizes translation in the background.

Because the entire window website uses an international common language, it can be seen that they have done a lot of effort and have nipped out international common languages ​​in advance and developed a corresponding translation system.

One thousand pairs of chopsticks, replace with a steel plate (the steel plate is ten kilogram units).

After entering this conversion ratio into the communication interface, economists, sociologists, and scholars all waited for the other party to respond.

The communication interface was quiet and the other party did not reply for a long time.

Economists and sociologists and scholars looked at each other.

It is estimated that the other party is also a group of monsters, who are staying in front of this communication interface and discussing strategies for coping together.

Half a day later, a "ok" gesture icon appeared on the communication interface.

"Haha, simple and direct, and no bargaining."

"They can even use facial characters. It seems that they must have learned a deep understanding of the culture and language of our humans on earth."

"Nonsense, when they digest the Donglin people, they also understand the culture and language of our human beings on earth."

"They should be allowed to open invoices..."

...

Next, the economist discussed the demands of both parties with the other party, and the other party's reply shocked everyone.

"One hundred thousand tons of steel?"

"My God, they need so many at once?"

"Tell them that the first transaction does not require such a big surprise. We have a small and long-term business, and we will start our business slowly and grow bigger, so there is no rush."

"I definitely can't agree to such a large transaction volume. Once a hundred thousand tons of steel is handed over to them, maybe we will be built and cannons will come out."

"No, I didn't think so far. I can't let us suffer such a big loss. Think about it, they took 100,000 tons of steel to build weapons, ships, etc., and what can we do if we get 10 billion pairs of chopsticks? It's a waste to send it to Tang people, one pair, and there are 8.6 billion pairs left so many, which is simply a waste!"

"Don't worry, I see that their chopsticks have the shape of knife and fork at the end. I guess these chopsticks are also made of iron. We can melt them into iron and then make them into steel, and they can also be sold back to them."

“They don’t agree to change the demand.”

The economist tried to reduce demand, but the other party replied "no".

"Their service style is very direct, and it seems that they don't like to go around the corner."

"What should I do? Are you agreeing to their needs?"

"Agree. After getting the chopsticks, it will melt them into molten iron, then make them into steel and sell them back."

Next, we will discuss the delivery time and delivery location.

"The delivery time is one month later, and the location is a small island called Liuqiu, far from the coast of Donglin Country."

...

A month later, the commercial department of the International Joint Organization transported the prepared 100,000 tons of steel by ship to a small island called Liuqiu, Donglinhai.

After going to the island, I found that the other party was already on the island.

According to the description provided by Tang Qi, these Donglin people who have been occupied by unknown biological consciousness bodies on the moon have contagious qualities - inactivated crazi viruses, but they need to be a part of them until the full moon.

Tang Qi reminded: It is okay to deal with them, as long as they are not bitten by them, they will not be contagious.

"Hello, I'm venting my life!"

The purchasing agent gave a smile, tried to say hello to them, and went up to shake hands with them.

But thinking that these Donglin people were no longer humans, but alien creatures, the purchasing agent quickly retracted his hands.

There were about a dozen people on the other side, and they didn't say a word throughout the whole process, with a slightly cold expression.

The one they led pointed to the containers on the shore and signaled the procurement officer to inspect the goods.

The purchasing agent also pointed to the container boxes on the ship and signaled them to send someone to inspect the goods.

"Oh my God, what material is this? It's not made of iron. We're fooled!"

The assistant brought by the procurement officer walked to the containers on the shore and opened the box door.

When I started inspecting the goods, I found that the chopsticks were not made of iron, so I immediately exclaimed.

The purchasing agent quickly walked to the container box and saw the inspector pointing at the box of chopsticks and signaling the purchasing agent to go and see.

"It's really not made of iron, it feels like plastic when you start."

The purchasing agent took out a pair from the box and weighed it:

"But it feels a bit heavy. What kind of plastic is this?"

After a knock, it makes a hard iron product sound.

This is very confusing.

The purchasing agent has never seen such a plastic product. It is made of plastic when it feels, but the weight in his hand is similar to that of an iron product, and it has a heavy feeling.

"Do you want to return the product?"

The assistant asked as he looked at the purchasing agent.

The purchasing agent looked embarrassed and looked at the aliens. It was really hard to return their goods in person.

This is the first time that humans on Earth have engaged in diplomatic trade with aliens. They have originally opened the door to diplomacy with "greatest goodwill".

Besides, when I placed an order for them, I didn’t specify what material I wanted!

"It's fine if it can be used."

The purchasing agent took out a pack of jerky from his pocket, and then tried to cut it with the knife and fork at both ends of the chopsticks.

It looked like a plastic knife cut on the tough beef jerky, which was as sharp as a steel knife. It was very clean and neat, and it was cut apart with one knife.

“Huh?”

The purchasing agent and assistant staff couldn't help but look surprised.

This is too surprising! It's too incredible!

"What kind of material is this? It's so hard?"

The assistant who was in charge of inspection just now took a pair of chopsticks curiously, gently stroked the blade on the knife and fork with his fingers, with an expression of incomprehension.

"Bone bones..."

The purchasing agent walked back to the aliens with a happy expression, raised his fingers to them and made a decision:

"Ok! Receive the goods!"

The other party also checked the steel on the ship and said there was no problem.

Next, we used a crane to unload the steel from the ship on the dock, and then lifted the chopsticks from the dock onto the cabin.

The purchasing agent wanted to shake hands with the other party and say goodbye, but immediately shrank his hand and could only wave to them and make a "worship" gesture, carrying the tens of billions of pairs of chopsticks to head towards the coastline of the Bangzi Country opposite the East Linhai.
