Chapter 347 Regret

Lin Wanxia lied calmly, "I overheard someone talking when I visited the aircraft carrier that day."

Liang Gong was half-believing and half-doubting.

Would anyone discuss such an issue on an aircraft carrier?

But he had never seen the drawings, and there was no evidence to prove that Lin Wanxia was lying, and the numbers Lin Wanxia gave were too specific, so Liang Gong could only remain skeptical.

Jiang Sinian made a prompt decision: "I will report to the organization and send more people to support."

Lin Wanxia shook her head, "No! You know it's not possible."

Chen Manshu disagreed, "Although I understand your idea of ​​​​keeping us out of danger. But, it's really not possible."

They came to buy an aircraft carrier, and every money from the registered company to the company's account was traced back to its source.

After confirming again and again that Chen Manshu's money had nothing to do with the country, they agreed to let them come to participate in the bidding.

If a small group of Chinese people were to gather here at this time, it would definitely attract the attention of various countries.

It would be difficult to transport the drawings.

Jiang Si sighed: "I know that asking for help from the country is the worst option. But it is difficult for just a few of us to transport dozens of tons of paper silently."

Paper is a very fragile thing.

It can be burned clean by a fire.

Before everyone could discuss the reason, the butler knocked on the door.

"Young Master, Mr. Angus who came last time is here again."

Several people looked at each other, stopped discussing, and dispersed as if they were familiar with the place, leaving only Chen Manshu and Lin Wanxia waiting in the reception room.

Angus was stunned after being led in by the butler, and his eyes subconsciously searched around.

"No need to look, there is no one hiding. There is no need to hide anyone." Lin Wanxia said.

Angus understood what Lin Wanxia meant, smiled embarrassedly, and sat down on the single sofa.

In terms of country, this is his territory.

In terms of room, this is their territory.

The relationship itself is one of mutual distrust. There are as many secret guards outside the manor as there are traps inside the manor. This is purely meaningless and pretentious.

As a guest, Angus didn't even dare to drink a sip of water in this room.

In this case, there is no need for greetings.

Angus said directly: "Our leader agreed to your request. As long as you are willing to pay us $25 million, we will give you the drawings."

Chen Manshu asked: "Do you provide after-sales service?"

Angus: "???"

Lin Wanxia explained: "I just want to ask you, if we spend $25 million, will you send the drawings back to us?"

"How is this possible?" Angus seemed to have heard a joke. "You all know very well that this is a shady deal. Not to mention helping you transport the drawings, even if you are discovered on the way, we will just say that our drawings are lost. I thought we have reached a consensus on this point."

Chen Manshu shook his head. "We came to your country, it is already a long and dangerous journey. You made things difficult for us even when we bought an aircraft carrier. If you don't cover after-sales service, then we have to renegotiate the price." Angus was

angry: "How can you go back on your word?"

Lin Wanxia spread her hands innocently: "You didn't say you didn't cover delivery at the time?!"

"Then..." After a brief silence, Angus asked, "How much do you want to reduce?"

Chen Manshu held up two fingers.

"Minus two million?"

Chen Manshu raised his index finger and shook it, "Minus twenty million!"

Angus stood up suddenly, "Are you kidding me?"

"Don't get excited!" Lin Wanxia stood up and slightly turned sideways, "Do you think we will go to great lengths to trick you? We just considered the risks after buying the drawings."

Jiang Sinian outside the window knew that this was a standard defensive posture.

Lin Wanxia's position was right between Chen Manshu and Angus.

She wanted to protect Chen Manshu.

Angus' face was livid and he didn't say a word.

His face used to be quite pale, but now it was gloomy and dark.

"What do you mean?"

"The drawings are just copies to you. You will definitely not give us the originals. Even if you give them to us, you will have backups, right?"

Angus did not object.

No one would believe it even if he objected.

How could drawings weighing tons not be backed up? !

"Isn't it a bit too much for you to want to buy tens of millions of dollars for a few tons of paper?"

Angus couldn't help it any longer: "What do you mean by tens of tons of paper? Those are aircraft carrier design drawings."

"Then do you dare to say that to the outside world?" Chen Manshu asked back.

Angus was silent.

Of course he didn't dare.

Lin Wanxia continued: "For you, the cost is actually not high. The really high cost is the transportation cost. You should know that it is an impossible task to transport tens of tons of drawings from country W to our country, and you have to avoid the difficulties of various countries.

Even a fire can make tens of millions of dollars go to waste."

Angus did not deny it.

Paper is very fragile and afraid of fire and water.

"The most important thing is that we don't even know whether the drawings are real or fake."

"Of course they are real, you can verify it." Angus said anxiously.

Lin Wanxia asked with a smile: "How to verify it?"

Angus opened his mouth and closed it again.

Country Z has no experience in building aircraft carriers. They can't tell whether it is real or fake just by looking at it.

If you want to know whether it is real or fake, you have to build an aircraft carrier to try, or let a knowledgeable designer take the drawings to the ship to match them one by one.

But if you look at it once and meet a powerful designer who remembers the key structures, the drawings will lose their due value.

After a while, Angus shook his head and said firmly: "No matter what, this price is impossible!"

He had lived for so many years, and he had heard of people bargaining for the last digit, but he had never heard of bargaining for the whole number.

However, even the last digit was bargained by one third.

This price was simply impossible.

Lin Wanxia looked at Chen Manshu.

In the eyes of outsiders, Chen Manshu was the boss who made the final decision, and Lin Wanxia was the assistant.

"If cooperation with the country is impossible, what about cooperation with you personally?"

Angus was stunned, "What do you mean?"

"You see, there must be a lot of people at the national level to share the money, and there will definitely not be much money in each person's hands. What if you keep the two million US dollars for yourself?"

Angus took a breath: "How is it possible? I am loyal to Country W, how could I do such a thing?"

"What kind of thing? Did we let you be a spy or commit treason? Selling drawings is not a public matter, and this money cannot be put into your treasury. Drawings are such a replicable thing, who knows whether they can be lost or not?"

Angus wanted to refuse firmly, but he opened his mouth but did not say the words of refusal.

Seeing this, Lin Wanxia advised: "This is a shady business. For us, it doesn't matter who we cooperate with, but for you, it's a big difference, right?"

After Angus left, Lin Wanxia immediately turned to look at Chen Manshu, "Are you sure he can agree?"

Bargaining is not something that was discussed in advance.
