Such a coward actually coveted his wife. If they were not at Commander Liang's house, he would have beaten Gu Yanqi severely.
Gu Yanqi was reluctant to take his eyes off Ji Xia, but he also saw the annoyance in Ji Xia's eyes. He only thought that Ji Xia must have been temporarily bewitched by Qin Xiao, the rough guy, and once she saw his gentleness and elegance, she would change her mind.
When a village girl is suddenly noticed by an officer, she will inevitably be moved and fall in love with him.
But in fact, Ji Xia's eyesight was still too shallow. Qin Xiao alone could make her so obsessed with him that it seemed as if there were no more good men in the world.
"Captain Qin, I am first and foremost a researcher. Although I am also a soldier, my way of defending our country is different from yours. I am a civilian."
He gave Ji Xia a deep look and said, "In a sense, Ji Xia and I are the same kind of people. We are both skilled workers!"
Ji Xia couldn't help but laugh. "Researcher Gu, you said you and I are the same kind of people. Are you worthy? How about we have a competition in the snow cross-country race tomorrow?"
Gu Yanqi felt a little embarrassed and a trace of resentment arose in her heart. She was just a village girl. Maybe Qin Xiao taught her a few martial arts skills, and she thought she was great after beating Qiu Suquan.
"Ji Xia, I am a graduate of the Russian Military Academy after all. The reason why I occasionally miss some training is because of my civilian work. Are you sure you want to compete with me?" Gu Yanqi decided to conquer Ji Xia with force. He knew that everyone admires the strong. If he could conquer her, Ji Xia would naturally look at him differently.
"What, you don't dare?" Ji Xia leaned on the sofa and challenged casually.
"Okay!" Gu Yanqi said, "I accept your challenge, but if I win, you will divorce Captain Qin!"
Qin Xiao stood up suddenly and rushed towards Gu Yanqi with his fist. Gu Yanqi was hit by the punch unexpectedly. He was furious and said, "Qin Xiao, how dare you hit me?"
“老子揍的就是你！”秦骁正要冲过去，被季夏拉了一把，她好笑地看向顾言蹊，“顾研究员，你是哪里来的这么大一张脸觉得可以赢我？还有，我这个人从来不拿自己亲近的人打赌，父母，我自己的生命，我的爱人，所以，你这个赌注我不接受！”
She looked at Gu Yanqi nonchalantly, "So, if you really want to bet with me, how about changing the bet? If you lose, you run naked around the military camp three times. Of course, I allow you to wear a pair of underwear."
Gu Yanqi's face turned pale. "Alright, if you lose, Captain Qin will have to run around the barracks three times like me, and you're allowed to wear only one pair of underwear."
"Sure!" Ji Xia was certain she wouldn't lose, so she agreed. After she agreed, she felt something was wrong and asked Qin Xiao embarrassedly, "Husband, is this okay?"
Qin Xiao was so moved by her calling him "my love" that his internal organs seemed to be soaked in a hot spring, soothing him that he held her hand with his backhand and said, "Okay, you have the final say!"
Ji Xia said, "That's it!"
Although Gu Yanqi was punched, Liang Zihua felt that Qin Xiao did not hit him lightly, but he really didn't want to lose face in his own home.
The dishes were served on the table. Fang Jingzhou stewed the goose that Ji Xia had brought. "Xiao Xia, I don't have anything special to treat you. Just make do with what you have!"
Gu Yanqi interrupted Liang Zihua just now, and he didn't have time to say what he wanted to say. He took out some wine and drank with Qin Xiao and the others. He persuaded Qin Xiao, Shao Hongwei, and even Qiu Suquan, but skipped Gu Yanqi. It can be imagined how much he disliked him.
"Xiao Xia, I came to you this time to ask you, what price should we set for exporting our machine tools?"
This was the main purpose of Liang Zihua inviting her to dinner.
Ji Xia ate a piece of big goose. She had to say that Fang Jingzhou's cooking skills were really good. It was rare that the goose was so delicious even with less oil and various seasonings.
After swallowing, she said, "We want the payment in US dollars. One lathe costs six million US dollars."
Liang Zihua and the others gasped, "Is the price so high?"
Ji Xia said, "Of course, what we're selling isn't products, it's technology. We made quite a fuss before, and many countries are watching us. So, as long as we say we're selling CNC machine tools, many countries will definitely come to buy them. If we don't kill them now, when will we do it?"
Liang Zihua calculated that one machine costs 6 million US dollars, so 2,000 machines would be 1.8 billion US dollars.
At that time, the country's foreign exchange reserves were less than 100 million.
They can earn 1.8 billion in one go. What does that mean?
Liang Zihua's hands were shaking with excitement.
He was still in a daze when he heard Ji Xia say, "This is the ex-factory price, not including shipping costs. We can set up a port right here at the East Pier, and the delivery location will also be here. Don't worry about the rest."
"Xiao Xia, what do you mean?" Liang Zihua asked in confusion.
If I help with transportation, can't I make some extra money?
"We're worried about other countries messing around! If we help with transportation, they might hijack the goods or attack us mid-transit. That's not worth it," Ji Xia said. "There will be plenty of opportunities to earn foreign exchange in the future. If we maintain a high profile now, everything will be easier and hassle-free in the future."
"Comrade Ji Xia, are you sure that other countries will buy it? Even if they want to buy it to study our industrial level, there is no need for them to buy so much at once!" Gu Yanqi felt that Ji Xia was too naive.
Liang Zihua's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. Was $1.8 billion in foreign exchange going to be wasted? Could they guarantee a 50% cut?
