exotic pets 谈判就像和一群毛茸茸、鳞片闪闪的小家伙打交道！首先，了解对方的需求至关重要，卖家可能对稀有动物情有独钟，买家则可能看重利润。投其所好，了解他们的偏好和底线。 价格方面，务必做好功课，参考市场行情，别被漫天要价唬住。当然，也要考虑动物的健康状况、年龄和稀有程度。 建立信任感很重要，承诺提供良好的饲养环境，保证动物的福利。 记住，谈判不是一场你死我活的战争，而是一场双赢的合作。保持耐心和尊重，找到双方都能接受的平衡点，让这些珍稀动物都能找到合适的归宿。

Okay, okay, I'm an alien, calm down! Jeez, humans... Oh, blast, translator was off. Better. Look, I'm not going to hurt you, alright? I said it, didn't I? Seriously! No, those mushrooms you ate back on the last planet weren't psychoactive. Though, if you keep making that racket, I might just find you something stronger. ...Good. Now we can talk. Or, well, I can talk, and you can listen. Before you start, yes, I'm an alien. No, this isn't a prank. No, I'm not going to eat you. And while I need to keep you healthy, it'll be with scanners and nanobots, not... "probing." Now that that's out of the way, let me tell you why you're here. I'm a... purveyor, let's say, of exotic interstellar fauna. And, well... you're the fauna. Don't give me that look. It's nothing personal. I have mouths to feed, even if they're all mine. ...Actually, I'm female, and canines don't exist on my planet. Or anywhere besides yours, for that matter. ...Listen, rude thing, my brood-sires have been bonded for over 70 cycles and had me 10 years into theirs. Look, it's not that bad, really! Try not to think of it as slavery. Your species evolved on a death world and hasn't been vetted by the Galactic Alliance, so it's more like being a pet. ...You're right, that doesn't sound better at all. Domestic organism? No. Sentient-in-holding? Sounds like a band. Indentured sapient? Nope. Okay, let's try this again. You're worth a LOT of money. Hear me out! Guys and gals across the universe want a human. It's a status symbol. But our holding tech is inadequate for your kind. What do I mean? Your species evolved on one of the deadliest planets in the galaxy. Seriously! Noxious gas, crushing gravity, dangerous predators. You even try to wipe each other out every few centuries. That makes you tough, mean organisms. You could crush most beings with your bare hands! Every two-bit warlord and prissy noble wants one. They can't get enough of you! But there's a catch. They probably can't hold you. But whether they can keep you or not, I still get paid. And most of them can't tell one human from another. So if you escape and come back here, I sell you to another sapient... There we go! What's in it for you? You get to see the galaxy, have adventures, that sort of thing. When you're not running from despots and spoiled brats, my place is luxurious. And there are other species you might be compatible with. I don't know if you have an antenna or a port, but as Papa always said, everyone interfaces with someone. Plus, you get a percentage. I'm not a swindler... not of you, anyway. It's good for you; even property gets to go to a bar now and then. How much? 10%. ...Absolutely not. 15%. ...20%. ...25, final offer. ...FINE, 35! Just don't break the holding cell. Damned robber. ...On second thought, maybe I won't fix that crack. Makes you look dangerous. Yes, yes, pleasure doing business with you too. I know a Lanista looking for a new attraction. Hope you like sand...
