"We agree to a purchase agreement of 100 million US dollars and Chinese cabbage. If the Kyushu army encounters the White Tiger Group later, please explain this matter to them clearly."

"Of course, if we don't encounter the White Tiger Group, or if they don't need help, then today's negotiations will be invalidated."

When the minister conveyed President Kim's intention, he did not forget to add this sentence, which could be regarded as leaving himself a way out.

After all, they only heard one side of Hiratajiro's story and could not be sure it was 100% correct. Most importantly, Hiratajiro could not have told the truth and must have concealed something.

If only the Dongshan Army team had to pay a sky-high reward to the Kyushu Kingdom because of their own outrageous actions, while the White Tiger Group was left alone, they would be at a huge loss.

Although it was a spur-of-the-moment idea of ​​the minister, it must be said that at the critical moment, this sentence may indeed have played a decisive role and avoided unnecessary loss of interests for the Simi Kingdom.

Otherwise, if it really came to that, even if Kyushu Kingdom helped, even if the White Tiger Group really didn't need help, it would be hard to explain and the money would have been wasted.

However, Mr. Xu did not intend to ask them to transfer the money immediately. He was currently driving in a straight line. If he encountered one in the middle, he would mention it. If not, forget it.

This sea area is not small, and its scope is surprisingly large both horizontally and vertically. The Kyushu army does not have much time to search one by one.

If other countries contact us later, there will be at least five teams in total, and they really don’t have the time to search and check the entire sea area.

The most important thing is that Mr. Xu is not sure about Yang Xia's attitude, and there is no way to contact him for the time being. If he is very concerned about this group of troops that come to offend his territory and directly launch weapons to attack remotely, then the so-called help will become empty words.

Although Mr. Xu had a good relationship with Yang Xia, he felt that things had not yet reached that point, and he had no reason to stop him from defending his own interests.

The reason for this matter is that Baipu and others were too greedy. If they hadn't coveted the arms dealer's base and coveted the arms, and rashly decided to attack, there wouldn't have been the previous incident, let alone the current predicament.

All of this is their own fault. They are driven by profit. There is nothing wrong with greed, but they must be prepared to bear the consequences.

If it were someone less powerful, the base might have already been taken over by the United States and other countries, and Kyushu would naturally have no chance in the future.

But Yang Xia is strong enough and does not need the help of Kyushu. The effect created by the weather controller alone is enough to scare the military of these countries!
"Okay, we'll contact you when we meet the White Tigers. That's it for now!"

Old Xu nodded in agreement. There was nothing much to say about this. They were not sure whether the White Tiger Regiment was just ahead.

I still say that I won’t go out of my way to search. If I come across it, I will help. If I don’t come across it, I will just ignore it!

"Mr. Xu, why did you suddenly bring up the cabbage issue just now? You even lowered the price from 500 million US dollars to 100 million US dollars. The other party took the initiative to raise the price!"

"Yeah, I don't quite understand it either. It's not that they can't give 500 million US dollars, it's just a little difficult at best."

"Wouldn't it be better to wait until they come to us and ask for our cooperation? This way, we will surely gain more benefits!"

Wang Bo and his friends didn't quite understand, and even though the call had ended, they still looked confused.

Mr. Xu sat down calmly, not like he had just finished an important national-level negotiation, and said leisurely:
"One hundred million US dollars is their limit. They can transfer this amount directly. If it is really five hundred million US dollars, I don't know how long it will take them to pay the full amount."

"If the previous news is correct, before this mission, the Simi country borrowed a large sum of money from the United States for the warship equipment."

"What's even funnier is that after the United States lent them the money, it forced them to buy their own warehouse equipment."

"Combined with what happened before, the Simi Kingdom suffered heavy losses and really doesn't have the ability. If it's something beyond his ability, they can't give it even if they agree, and it's useless!"

After Mr. Xu’s explanation, they instantly understood all the points and couldn’t help but give him a thumbs up, expressing their admiration for his foresight.

To be honest, their thinking level is still too shallow, and they don't consider the problem so comprehensively and thoughtfully. Mr. Xu made these proposals on the spur of the moment while negotiating with the other party, and he was frank about this.

However, they need to listen to the explanation before they can connect all the things together. They are really not on the same level and there are still several levels between them.

……

"Dingling bell~"

Before Wang Bo and his friends could finish chatting, another call came in. The location displayed was the headquarters of Maple Leaf Country, and the timing was just right. It seemed that these countries had really colluded in advance, contacting one after another, without wasting time or worrying about encountering busy lines.

Of course, the prerequisite for these communications to come in is that Mr. Xu and Mr. Tao have respectively opened the permissions on the warship to allow calls from unfamiliar numbers.

If permissions are turned off, these communications will not be able to come in, even if there is a way to contact them.

After they finished the negotiations with the Neon Country headquarters, they tacitly opened the permissions. This did not require any discussion at all; it was a subconscious action.

When it comes to the level of Mr. Xu and Mr. Tao, sometimes their thoughts and actions are highly consistent and they have a tacit understanding.

Because their thinking, reasoning, and judgment processes are similar, even if the methods are different, the optimal solution they come up with is also the best one. This is what is meant by different paths leading to the same destination!
"This is the Maple Leaf Country headquarters. I am the secretary of Leader Markham..."

"So, I'll leave the Delta Team in your care. We can offer a reward of 100 million US dollars, as long as you help out."

Secretary Markham's attitude was very low, and he was straightforward and straightforward, without any tricks. Combined with the attitude of the Minister of Simi Country, they probably referred to the situation of the Neon Country headquarters, and none of them dared to do anything fancy.

Indeed, anyone who knew General Xu a little bit knew that he hated these things the most. If you dared to play those tricks in front of him, you would most likely be severely slapped in the face.

Who is Mr. Xu? What tricks and methods has he not seen? It is precisely because he has seen so many of them that he is not very optimistic about them. He appreciates simple and direct methods more.

When dealing with situations, one should at least know how to maintain a moderate attitude, neither arrogant nor overbearing, nor self-deceiving. This is a basic principle.

Compared to the amount of compensation offered by the Simi Kingdom, the conditions offered by Secretary Markham were obviously not attractive enough. One hundred million US dollars, this figure seemed quite considerable, but it did not stir any waves in the ears of Xu Lao and others.

At first, when Wang Bo and others learned about the generosity of the Simi Country, they were indeed quite surprised. However, in comparison, the performance of the Maple Leaf Country headquarters seems a bit stingy. After all, whether in terms of population or economic strength, the Maple Leaf Country is far superior to the Simi Country. Under the premise that the Neon Country has already offered 2 billion US dollars, the Maple Leaf Country only offered 100 million US dollars, which does seem a bit shabby.

This is not because Xu Cheng and others are greedy, but considering the current situation, 100 million US dollars is really nothing. If the situation is reversed, Maple Leaf Country may ask for much more than just this or that. Kyushu Country headquarters knows the truth about the "devil weather", so they naturally have the confidence to make these demands.

Wang Bo and the others snorted indifferently, and the snort reached the secretary's ears before Mr. Xu expressed his opinion. Since it was not a video call, the secretary's dark, embarrassed and awkward face was not noticed by others. He held the receiver tightly, and his hands unconsciously increased the strength. Markham next to him also looked indignant. If it were not inconvenient to speak, Markham really wanted to refute it immediately.

Interestingly, the leaders of both Simi and Maple Leaf did not personally participate in the talks, but they were very concerned about the matter. Perhaps it was because they did not want to lose face. After all, those who participated in the negotiations last time were all shrouded in a shadow, not to mention that they were the highest leaders of a country.

"Less." Mr. Xu spoke a word indifferently in Kyushu Mandarin, not caring at all whether the other party could understand. For them, there was no need to deliberately accommodate these countries and use the common Mandarin. Kyushu people naturally had to use Kyushu Mandarin. If the other party couldn't understand, they could just ask for a translator. This had nothing to do with them directly. After all, the other party was asking for help, so this factor should be taken into consideration when making this call.

The attitude of the Kyushu army was firm and strong, and they would never compromise or back down in the negotiations. This was evident from their insistence on speaking their own language. Secretary Markham was at a loss when he heard this. He asked Markham with a pleading look how he should respond. The situation was urgent, and the Maple Leaf Country called almost on time. Time was running out and there was no room for delay.

No one could predict what would happen in the next second. A few minutes of delay could affect the entire subsequent rescue work. If it was their team's turn to have problems, the consequences would be something no one could or would be willing to accept. For the Maple Leaf Country, the position they drew was not bad, with considerable room for response, which also played a certain role in promoting the smooth progress of the negotiations.

Markham was extremely depressed. One hundred million dollars made his heart bleed. This was one hundred million dollars, not Japanese currency or Kyushu currency, but real money! In his opinion, this price was ridiculously expensive. Generally speaking, large-scale international rescue operations would not be so expensive. This price was really absurd.

However, when it comes to the "devil weather" and the unspeakable secrets of their joint army, it is difficult for Maple Leaf Country to condemn Kyushu Country in the international community. This is also an important basis for Xu Lao and others to be so tough. In the final analysis, this is their own fault, and they cannot blame others. They can't openly go to the international community to accuse Kyushu Country of "extortion". Other countries are not fools. If they really analyze the reasons, they are not right.

Moreover, the fewer people know about this, the better. This is also the reason why the United States and other countries have done their best to block the news. They also want to save face. The last joint activity suffered such heavy losses that they didn't even touch the shadow of the base, but were caught off guard by the weather and were completely wiped out. It was so funny and ridiculous, just like running to someone's door to provoke, but fell down before getting close, and then went home in disgrace.

Of course, Kyushu does not have to help. It all depends on the attitude of the headquarters and elite teams of the United States and other countries. If they do not ask for help, Kyushu can come to rescue and investigate the real situation. This is not a particularly difficult thing. It is not impossible for the two powerful countries of the United States and the United Kingdom to really put together a rescue army.

Taking a step back, it is not impossible for Maple Leaf Country and Indian Country to make some preparations and send some warships to support. The real difficulty is the Simi Country. They really can't send a complete rescue team, and they are also very clear about their own strength, so they asked for 500 million US dollars at the beginning. In fact, 500 million US dollars is also a rather difficult number for them.

It is ironic that Maple Leaf Country only offered 100 million US dollars. This may be a relatively high number in their minds. If it were not for Neon Country as a comparison, they would not even be willing to pay 1 million. If it were not for Kyushu Country's strength, attitude, and skills, and its absolute advantage, it would be possible for the other party to take advantage of it.

If it is a country that is not strong and has no say in the international arena, let alone actively negotiating, it will probably be directly ordered or threatened to "help". As for the reward, I'm sorry, there is nothing. It's good enough that we didn't attack you!
Markham understood these principles. He raised his hand and made a two. If possible, he would only give a million, not ten million. However, this was not an auction after all, and there was no limit on the price. As it involved matters at the national level, he reluctantly added twenty million.

However, the secretary misunderstood him and thought he meant 200 million US dollars. He was surprised and exclaimed: "200 million US dollars, no more!"

Hearing this amount, President Markham almost choked on blood. His eyes widened as big as copper bells and he glared at his secretary. This look was so emotional that the secretary didn't understand what he meant. He even wondered if he had missed a zero.

Two hundred million US dollars, double the initial offer, but still much less than the compensation offered by Simi Country and Neon Country. "Not enough!" Old Xu calmly blocked it again, being so stingy that he didn't even want to say a single extra word. This is also the most infuriating part. (End of this chapter)
