Where is it heard of to coerce an answer right from the start?
Negotiations, as Zi Di understood them, could be likened to a war. Language, body language were the main weapons of this war, the ultimate aim being to influence others and acquire benefits for oneself.
The most important part of war's early stages was preparation and intelligence.
Hence, before negotiations, both parties would usually chat about lighter topics, such as the weather.
During this process, Zi Di would probe to confirm the other's physical condition, emotions, interests and even personal values.
