After Zhang Fan left, a subtle silence instantly enveloped the room.
This middle-aged man was no ordinary person; he was the general manager of Xia Guo's foreign arms sales and also the head of the military products department of a certain Li Group. At this moment, he was sitting upright by the coffee table, holding an exquisite teacup tightly in his hand, but his eyes revealed an undisguised confusion and suspicion.
His gaze kept sweeping over the draft order on the table marked "one hundred million per set, thirty sets in total," and he muttered to himself: This is simply a fantasy!
One hundred million for a set of equipment, and he's offering thirty sets right off the bat? This kid is either insane and talking nonsense, or he has connections and audacity that are beyond the reach of ordinary people.
But then he thought, how could he possibly have gotten to know those wealthy and demanding big clients in the Middle East? The middle-aged man simply couldn't understand the logic behind it.
The middle-aged man took a small sip of tea, trying to calm his inner turmoil, a half-believing, half-doubting smile playing on his lips.
After all, having been in this industry for many years, I've long since learned to remain calm in the face of the unknown and wait for things to develop.
Since the client is about to arrive, let's put aside our doubts for now and treat this as a wonderful performance.
So he exchanged a knowing glance with his companion, and the two tacitly chose to remain silent, waiting to see how things would develop.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and every passing second was filled with unknown tension.
Finally, after less than ten minutes of waiting, the door opened slightly, and a man dressed in traditional clothing and wearing an exquisite headscarf strode in.
Upon entering, he warmly extended his hand and shook hands tightly with the middle-aged man and another companion. His smiles revealed both anticipation for the upcoming cooperation and curiosity about this unexpected transaction.
As the middle-aged man shook hands with his Middle Eastern client, his bewilderment only intensified. He secretly pondered the client's intentions and the secrets hidden behind this seemingly unbelievable transaction.
Is it a coincidence? A trap? Or is it really as Zhang Fan said, that there is a vast, untapped market waiting for them to explore?
"Our country has recently had a dispute with a neighboring country, and we need to purchase Dongfeng XX missiles from Xia Country. The total cost is 3 billion, and the price is 100 million US dollars per set. After we sign the agreement, we will pay 50% of the payment first. After your people arrive in our country and set them up, we will pay 30%. The remaining 20% will be paid after you teach us how to use them."
The messenger was in a great hurry.
"oh?"
"This transaction requires a deposit. This is our account number. It's a deposit of 100 million. If you decide you don't want it later, the deposit will not be refunded."
With a single glance from the middle-aged man, the man next to him took out a corporate bank account from his briefcase.
A deposit of 100 million?
That's quite a lot.
The messenger called the prince directly, which required him to transfer the funds.
The other side didn't say anything, but a deposit still had to be paid, otherwise what if they tried to fool people later?
In less than ten minutes, an overseas payment was transferred in.
The assistant next to him whispered something in the middle-aged man's ear, and it was obvious that the middle-aged man's expression was not right.
He stood up and shook hands with the messenger again.
This is truly a major client from the Middle East; it's even a special envoy of some prince.
It seems that kid isn't mentally ill.
No wonder someone called me and asked me to come over, saying there was an arms deal involved.
I initially thought it was impossible, but now I completely believe it!
It's only 100 million US dollars a set, isn't this a rip-off?
I don't cheat people.
Didn't that kid want a kickback?
Of course I can give it to you.
However, we can't use a certain company's payment method; we can have the customer pay for it.
"Given the friendly relations between our two countries and the fact that this is our first collaboration, the price of 30 sets of weapons at 100 million Xia Guo RMB each is a huge discount we are offering. However, you will have to pay the referrer's fee."
The middle-aged man looked at the messenger.
"So cheap? Is there something wrong with it?"
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man nearly vomited blood in anger. "You get what you pay for."
"The items we purchase from Guoqiang Steel Plant are all of high quality; price is not an issue."
The envoy gave a special instruction.
"No problem. Our Xia Kingdom guarantees it, so there won't be any issues. Don't worry. This is our first time cooperating, and we're working together to ensure deeper cooperation in the future."
The middle-aged man quickly got up and led the envoy out, wanting to go down to visit the armory.
Since the customer has a need, we can buy other things too.
Dongfeng can definitely be sold, and so can the others.
Is this time the deal really going to go through?
The middle-aged man was puzzled. Who was that kid? How could he close such a deal and offer such a high price to the client?
The key issue is that the customer doesn't seem to be willing to haggle.

At this time, a certain bank.
President Yu hurriedly went out.
Yun Yao watched as President Yu walked out. Recently, a new department general manager came to the bank. She heard that he had returned from overseas and had a very powerful background.
"You just froze a customer's account like that? Who gave you that right?"
President Yu was furious. Zhang Fan's customer account had just been unblocked by the higher-ups, and a sum of money had been deposited into it, but it was frozen by the new colleague.
The new female manager in front of me held a cup of milk tea in one hand and smiled slightly.
"It's what the higher-ups require. Ah, the kid's account was suddenly unblocked, so there must have been funds coming in. Now that a huge amount of money has come in, we'll freeze it and then transfer it to compensate those who suffered losses. President Yu, it's what the higher-ups at UnionPay and the anti-organized crime office require. Can I not follow the rules?"
The new employee picked up a lipstick from the table and started applying makeup in front of President Yu.
Yun Yao heard it all.
However, I'm about to go bankrupt myself, so I don't have the mind to care about those things.
"Don't you know why someone can suddenly unfreeze something?"
The bank president personally unlocked the account, and he received a call from a certain company in Beijing. What does that company do? They sell weapons!
Now that money is coming in, which may involve arms payments, freezing other people's accounts is just asking for trouble.
What kind of anti-gang office or municipal bureau can be as powerful as Mouli?
Does this new female employee want me to join her?
"Untie it right away!"
President Yu immediately made the request.
"It's already been transferred by the anti-gang office. President Yu, you're getting old, always afraid of this and that. What are you afraid of?"
The female employee still looked disdainful.
Then she took out an eyebrow pencil from her LV bag and started applying makeup in front of President Yu.
Am I getting old?
Although I am old, I am not senile!
"If something happens, you'll be held responsible!"
President Yu was so angry he almost fainted!
This female employee, how come she still doesn't realize she's wrong?
