The boss of a foreign organization called the police, claiming that he was defrauded by me

"Okay, then 10 billion, plus the electromagnetic pulse equipment, a total of 11.5 billion. We will contact the headquarters later to transfer the money to you." Mr. Xu agreed readily.

This was the largest order deposit ever made! He had a feeling that after the meeting, he would most likely be able to add at least tens of billions of orders.

The people at the headquarters were not fools. For them, this was a sure win. Being able to get weapons that far exceeded international standards at such a price was also a great help to their independent research.

Even if some people disagree, the scholars in the institute will probably argue. If such a good opportunity is wasted, it would be a waste of talent!

In fact, if it were any other partner, without providing a specific weapons list, and directly asking for a deposit of 10 billion yuan, Mr. Xu and Mr. Tao might not agree so readily.

This kind of large order is no joke. Some rogue forces will really try to get something for nothing. They will take the deposit but not do the job. They are just making empty promises.

Even though it is a contract written in black and white, they are just playing rogue. It’s not that they won’t give it, but they just find all kinds of excuses to delay. Who knows how many years it will take before we can actually get it!

Generally speaking, in this situation, the order is almost invalid and it is difficult to hold anyone accountable.

Some persons in charge are replaced every few years. When he takes over, he does not acknowledge the order at all, and he does not collect the money. It is impossible for him to clean up the mess left by his predecessor.

"Okay, let's sign the contract right away! Although neither of us will cheat, it's still better to go through the process." Yang Xia admired the straightforwardness of Mr. Xu and Mr. Tao. He didn't ask any more questions and chose to believe him directly.

Of course! The base will never cheat the Kyushu National Army, ever!

Signing a contract is now very convenient. It is no longer the old routine of signing and stamping. You can directly sign the electronic agreement and record the fingerprint. It will not be lost and you can't default on it! After the cooperation was agreed, Mr. Xu, Mr. Tao and Yang Xia all shook hands and exchanged some polite words.

"Mr. Yang, you are as straightforward as ever. It is worry-free to cooperate with you. There is no need to argue. Just tell me what you need. It is both time-saving and convenient!" Mr. Tao couldn't help but admire. Previously, it was mainly Mr. Xu who contacted him. He often heard Mr. Xu praise Yang Xia, saying that he was a genius that was rare in a thousand years, and his character, talent, and ability were impeccable.

Tao Lao didn't quite believe it at first. After all, Yang Xia had been suspected of fraud before. Although he had deceived foreign mercenaries, his behavior was not glorious after all. In addition, the incident had caused a lot of controversy. He always felt that Yang Xia was too impetuous, too high-profile, and impatient.

But it turned out that he was wrong. Yang Xia's series of operations successfully impressed everyone and confirmed his identity and strength as an arms dealer. The arms he produced were sold out as soon as they were launched on the market.

Yang Xia also spent some time in prison by accident. His handwritten draft paper unexpectedly helped Kyushu Country make new breakthroughs in radar stealth technology.

After that, he continued to actively cooperate with Kyushu Kingdom with a peaceful attitude and without any retaliatory behavior.

Mr. Tao's opinion of him also changed, but he never had the chance to meet him. He just heard Mr. Xu praising him all the time, saying that he was much better than Zhang Guo and others, calm and dignified, and not like someone of his age at all.

Mr. Xu also said that one does not need to be too cautious when talking to Yang Xia, as they can communicate on an equal footing. No matter what is said, he can respond with reason and evidence, without being at a disadvantage at all.

Through this communication, Mr. Tao discovered that this young man Yang Xia was truly extraordinary. He was neither humble nor arrogant, and was very respectful to them, while at the same time maintaining his own integrity.

"No, no, Mr. Xu and Mr. Tao are the most outstanding people I have ever met. I should learn from you. I feel relieved to cooperate with you. I don't have to worry about this or that."

"No matter what, our base is willing to establish a cooperative relationship with the Kyushu Headquarters. We hope to have more opportunities to cooperate with each other in the future."

Yang Xia said modestly.

These words were not just polite words, they were also his true feelings.

As a native of Jiuzhou, he must have feelings for the headquarters. Being able to cooperate with Mr. Xu and others can not only make money but also help Jiuzhou improve its strength. It is a win-win situation.

Moreover, he still has concerns in Jiuzhou. Xia Qing is still studying at university. Only when the country is strong can she study and work without worries.

His base is quite far away from Kyushu, so if something really happens he might not be able to take care of it in time, so he would have to trouble them to take care of the girl.

He didn't even need to say anything about this, as Mr. Xu had already arranged it, and the defense level of his alma mater had been raised to the highest level.

This is also because of his identity. Many people know that the arms dealer of Kyushu State is from this school. Some people want to get closer to him and deliberately make trouble for him, and there are also people with ulterior motives among them.

The school has tightened control, and outsiders are not allowed in without an invitation. Those who try to find out about Yang Xia or get her contact information will be blocked from entering. The defense department will also keep a close eye on these people to prevent spies.

"If you have the chance, the Kyushu National Military Department will always welcome you, including Price and his men. If you have any needs, please feel free to ask. You're welcome!"

Mr. Xu extended the invitation again. What he said before was not polite, but he sincerely hoped that Yang Xia could come over to play.

Moreover, if he needs anything, Mr. Xu will try his best to help. With his status, he can provide a lot of convenience for Yang Xia.

"Okay, when I'm done with this, I'll take Price and the others there. I'll definitely go."

"By the way, the ordered weapons will take about two months, and some finished products will be available in the meantime. Let's keep in touch then."

"You can tell me what you think after receiving the finished product. The base can also customize weapons and equipment in the future. It all depends on what you think."

Yang Xia made it very clear that he was not the only one who was going to sell the weapons, and the Jiuzhou headquarters also had the right to choose. This meant that Xu Lao and his team could first state what they wanted, and the research and development would be done directly according to their design ideas, creating special weapons and equipment for Jiuzhou.

"That's more convenient. I should be the one in charge of communication in the future. We keep in touch often, so we can just use the old mailing address."

"But..." Mr. Xu stopped talking halfway. The base's communication system was a real headache sometimes. It was really troublesome that we couldn't get in touch at all.

He himself was not sure of the specific reason. It might be that there was something special about this sea area, which caused the communication to be unstable from time to time. Just like when they first arrived, they could not get through.

"It's okay, just call directly. It was my personal problem that I didn't get the call before, but it shouldn't happen now." As soon as Yang Xia heard Mr. Xu start talking, he knew what he was going to say. He touched his nose and explained, feeling a little embarrassed for some reason.

This was really not intentional. Xu Lao and the others might think it was because of the base, but the actual situation was only known to Yang Xia herself, and of course, the members of the task force and the Black Rose Women's Special Operations Team also knew it.

In fact, it was not just Mr. Xu. Yang Xia was so focused on research and development that he could not care about anything outside. His attention was entirely on arms. Captain Price also often could not contact him.

Besides, he doesn’t live close to the other members, so sometimes there’s really no way to communicate or contact them right away.

Yang Xia admitted that this was his own fault. The system would not kindly remind him, and he himself was immersed in R&D and innovation and could not take care of anything else.

However, Yang Xia planned to change this habit, but he didn't need to tell Mr. Xu how to change it. He only briefly mentioned the reason why the communication was not connected.

Sometimes, it's good to keep the truth a little mysterious. Not all truths are so glamorous, at least the fact that he couldn't get through the communication is not a "glamorous" thing!
After Mr. Xu, Mr. Tao and Yang Xia finished their business talk, they all relaxed. They simply sat together and drank tea. Although there was a big age gap between them, they chatted very well and there was almost no barrier between them.

There are many things that Yang Xia and Price cannot communicate about because they have different ideas and ways of thinking, as well as cultural differences. Even if you explain it to them, they may not understand.

But Elder Xu and Elder Tao are different. They have worked hard since they were young and have experienced a lot of things. They have also witnessed the strength of Jiuzhou. Their vision and views are not comparable to ordinary people.

When Yang Xia was communicating with the two old generals, he kept to the point. Some things didn't need to be said again after a short paragraph, and both sides could understand each other's meaning.

Mr. Xu and Mr. Tao were also surprised. Many of the things they talked about were beyond the reach of ordinary people. Without a certain level of knowledge, it would be impossible to say those things.

But when Yang Xia expressed his opinion, he did not hesitate at all. He directly said what he thought, and his unique insights shocked the two old generals.

He has such excellent knowledge and insights at such a young age, which is really different from those who follow the rules. The gap between the two is too big, and they are not on the same level at all.

The three of them chatted very harmoniously. Yang Xia personally took them on another tour of the base, this time taking a different route.

The same tour of the base, different people leading the way is different. No one knows the base better than Yang Xia, so along the way he told a lot of things that Price and others didn't know.

Including how each part of the base is divided and constructed, what new projects will be built later, etc. What really shocked Mr. Xu and Mr. Tao was that everything Yang Xia conceived was prepared, not just thinking about what he saw, but a step-by-step process.

From what he said, we can see that the entire base has had a clear plan from the beginning, and subsequent adjustments have been carried out step by step. The base will become better and better, there is no doubt about it!

Yang Xia is not satisfied with the status quo. As long as there is something new, he will try to add it and never stop innovating. It is precisely because of this idea that his inspiration is like a spring, which never runs dry.

It was the first time for Mr. Xu and Mr. Tao to learn so much from a young person. Yes, they were not teaching Yang Xia what to do, but instead they gained a lot of interesting ideas from him that were worth trying.

He has the active thinking of young people and the overall view of old people like Xu. If such people are not successful, then what kind of people can succeed!
The second visit to the base was much shorter, after all, they had already seen it once. Finally, the three returned to the control room.

As soon as Mr. Xu and Mr. Tao entered the room, they noticed the huge display screens around them. It can be said that the entire room, except for the control panel in the middle, is a large screen.

"This is the monitoring center of the base. I usually work here. There is also an operating table in the middle, and all the codes are typed here." After Yang Xia finished speaking, he took the two old generals to the central area and motioned for them to take a closer look at the operating table.

The one-meter-long operating table is densely packed with keyboard keys. Surprisingly, there are no labels on these buttons, making it difficult to know their functions. Imagine having to remember the positions and corresponding functions of hundreds of buttons. This is much more complicated than the more than 100 keys on a computer keyboard. Just looking at it makes people's scalps numb and their hearts tremble.

The center console adopts black and white color scheme. The simple and elegant design style blends with the entire room without any unnecessary decoration.

"With so many keys, how can two hands handle them all? Mr. Yang, can you really remember the function of each button? That's amazing!" Mr. Xu couldn't help but praise him again. He didn't like to say such compliments, but what Yang Xia did was so good that he couldn't find any other suitable words except praise.

Mr. Tao also nodded in agreement. In the short time they had spent together, they had already witnessed Yang Xia's talent and knowledge in R&D, design, decoration and other aspects. He seemed to be a walking encyclopedia. As long as a topic was brought up, he could explain the whole story clearly without any ambiguity, which showed that he was knowledgeable and had a deep understanding of what he had learned.

Yang Xia smiled slightly. In fact, these keys are not as complicated as imagined. When Price and his friends first saw it, they also cried out in surprise, thinking that it was simply against the will of heaven to remember so many keys. But in fact, when you actually operate it, you will find that there are only a hundred keys that are often used. The arrangement of these keys is not random, but designed according to coding habits, and it is very convenient to use.

He gently pressed a button, and a silvery-white light flashed, and labels immediately appeared on all the buttons. It turned out that these labels were not absent, but were hidden.

"Those are the ones that are commonly used. It's not difficult. Once you get familiar with it, you'll find that this design is actually simpler. The reason why there are so many keys is that we not only use binary encoding, but also hexadecimal, base 64, etc."

Yang Xia personally demonstrated several input methods. When he input in base 64, his fingers flew across the keyboard at a speed that was even faster than the beat of "Flight of the Bumblebee" played by a famous pianist from Kyushu!

Mr. Xu and Mr. Tao were dazzled by what they saw, and they could only hear a series of regular "ding-dong" sounds coming from the keyboard. It must be said that this sound sounded like a beautiful piece of music, very pleasant to the ears. (End of this chapter)
