Li Xiao's voice was not loud, but all the people who accompanied him were masters and had sharp ears.
Chen Shanhe said, "Let's talk inside."
The group gathered in the living room on the first floor of the main building without even putting down their luggage.
"I've been trying to get this done since I got here, but yesterday they suddenly reneged, unilaterally reneged on the agreement, and refused to sell it to us. You were on a plane at the time, so I couldn't get in touch with you. I was just so anxious." Li Xiao looked ashamed. "Sister Yueyue, I'm so sorry. I couldn't handle such an important matter."
Jiang Shiyue shook her head, "It has nothing to do with you."
Buying an aircraft carrier is not like buying a fishing boat. It may seem like a private transaction, but in fact the country is behind it.
Jiang Shiyue thought about it and made a phone call in public.
After a brief greeting, Jiang Shiyue got straight to the point. "Boris, I need a reasonable explanation. I borrowed money from everywhere to raise enough to buy the boat and came all the way here, and you're saying you don't want to sell it?"
Boris sighed exaggeratedly, "Beautiful Ms. Jiang Shiyue, I swear in the name of God, this is really not what I want. If you are willing to do me the honor, can I invite you to dinner?"
Jiang Shiyue subconsciously looked at Chen Shanhe.
Chen Shanhe nodded.
Jiang Shiyue then said, "Okay, I just flew for dozens of hours. Could you please take the trouble to come to my manor as a guest?"
"Oh, no, although I am very interested in your manor, now is not a good time for me to be your visitor. If you don't mind, can we meet at the restaurant where we first met?"
Jiang Shiyue's gaze deepened as he nodded, "Okay, see you tonight."
After hanging up the phone, I explained to everyone, "Boris is the head of the shipyard on the other side of this transaction. I knew about Mexico selling the ship early because my client wanted to use fighter jets as payment. During our negotiations, this Boris called my client to discuss the price of the ship. But how could he buy a ship when he couldn't even pay for the goods? So I asked him to do me a favor and introduce Boris to me."
Of course, the use of fighter jets as payment for goods has been agreed upon at the instruction of Lao Zheng.
"Boris said his country is desperately short of money, so they're willing to sell this aircraft carrier. We signed a preliminary cooperation agreement, and the negotiated price is $20 million. But..." Jiang Shiyue spread her hands, "As you heard, tomorrow is the transaction date we set, but the other party has reneged. What should we do?"
Chen Shanhe patted Jiang Shiyue's hand twice soothingly. "Don't panic! If the other party suddenly changes their mind, it's simply because someone offered a higher price or some other force intervened."
Lu Zheng speculated, "I feel it's more likely that other forces are intervening. Otherwise, Boris wouldn't be so sneaky, even choosing to meet outside."
Jiang Shiyue agreed: "Yes, he wants to distance himself from me."
Li Yuzheng, one of the special forces members, said, "Everyone's tired from the journey, so let's get some sleep first. We'll know the reason tonight. Anyway, this deal won't go as smoothly as we imagined."
Jiang Shiyue looked at Li Yuzheng resentfully: "If you say that, I will be even more unable to sleep. Is it time that is wasted? It's all my money."
Li Yuzheng: "..."

In the evening, Chen Shanhe accompanied Jiang Shiyue to the banquet.
They were afraid there was an ambush in the restaurant, or someone else.
Jiang Shiyue is just a businessman and Chen Shanhe is her husband. The other party has no reason to touch them.
As for the others, they disguised themselves as tourists or tried to blend in with the restaurant waiters in order to protect Jiang Shiyue.
Boris arrived on time.
Jiang Shiyue and Chen Shanhe exchanged glances.
Boris obviously still had personal freedom and did not look very nervous.
"I'm sorry to have kept the beautiful lady waiting for so long." Boris bowed politely to apologize.
Jiang Shiyue shook her head. "As long as other things don't keep me waiting too long, that's fine."
She meant something.
Boris seemed not to understand Jiang Shiyue's hint and asked Chen Shanhe, "Who is this?"
"Oh, I almost forgot to introduce you. This is my husband, Chen Shanhe."
"I know you," Boris said excitedly. "I've always wondered what kind of man could marry such a wonderful woman. You two are a perfect match. In Chinese, we say 'a talented man and a beautiful woman.'"
The last sentence was said by Boris in his broken Chinese.
Chen Shanhe still didn't say much, nodded, and thanked him quietly: "Thank you."
As the buyer, Jiang Shiyue was not polite to Boris, "Boris, I flew all the way here, not just to listen to you praise me and my husband."
Seeing Jiang Shiyue's sullen face, Boris finally restrained some of his boasting. "We have known each other for so long, and you have helped my brother before, so I won't beat around the bush with you. The agreement between us is invalid, and I can't sell you the ship anymore. Don't worry, I will pay you the penalty for breach of contract."
Jiang Shiyue raised an eyebrow. "So rich? Can you tell me why you changed your mind?"
Boris spread his hands and said, "I'm just an ordinary businessman like you. Everything is the will of the state."
Jiang Shiyue sneered.
Who among ordinary businessmen would sell aircraft carriers?
"Since you're so embarrassed, there's no need to discuss it. I can probably buy what I want from somewhere else with $20 million."
"Don't be impatient!" Boris stopped Jiang Shiyue who was about to stand up, "Listen to me, just because I can't sell it to you doesn't mean you can't buy it."
"What's the meaning?"
"Our country's intention is to sell the aircraft carrier, but not in this way. It must be sold openly."

Main building of the manor, second floor Chaoyang Conference Room.
Lu Zheng frowned. "You mean they want to open up the bidding process and compare prices?"
"This isn't a comparison of goods." Jiang Shiyue shook her head. "This is a comparison of money between three vendors. The highest bidder wins."
Li Xiao angrily said, "How could they do this? They can change their minds after agreeing on something! How shameless!"
"They're selling the boat because they're short of money. Of course, the highest bidder will win." Jiang Shiyue could accept this. "As long as we have enough money, it shouldn't be a big problem."
Chen Shanhe shook his head. "I'm afraid it's not that easy. If I'm not mistaken, it's the Mexican side behind this. They're unwilling to pay for it, and they don't want us to buy it either. So they came up with the bad idea of having Mexico hold an open tender."
Li Yuzheng said: "So, we can't return home for two months?"
Chen Shanhe nodded and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to go back for three months."
Jiang Shiyue was silent for a moment before speaking: "No! We can't be so passive. What if Country M maliciously messes up the bidding?"
You don't have to do anything else, just spending an extra 100 million yuan on her is enough to make her suffer.
Lu Zheng warned Jiang Shiyue: "This is abroad, don't mess around!"
"How could that be? I'm just a businessman, and I only know how to do business."
"What's the meaning?"
Jiang Shiyue shrugged, "Secret."
