Don’t panic if you get scammed, give him a Desert Eagle instead.

But at the same time, we must also be wary of Franklin's disruption.

During the day, Franklin tried to poach clients everywhere, but except for some small clients who were just starting out, no big clients were willing to follow him. Even those small clients were not worthy of Jiang Chuan's attention.

"Everyone!" Jiang Chuan raised his glass and said loudly, "Tonight's cocktail party specially invites you to bring your wives with you. Staff members are not allowed to participate. The purpose is to provide a broader space for communication for all the bosses."

Franklin came alone. His wife unfortunately died in a car accident three years ago.

"Mr. Jiang!" Franklin walked straight towards Jiang Chuan.

"First of all, congratulations. You have managed to arrange such a grand event so well. If this happened in Atlantis, I'm afraid there would have been a lot of problems."

"Haha, everyone has their own difficulties. I believe that if your family were to host it, it would be both safe and grand!" Jiang Chuan responded politely.

On the surface, the people around him looked like Franklin was chatting and laughing, but in their hearts they all knew that he had bad intentions.

"Look at them, all of them are beaming with joy, but in fact, they are all thinking about how to kill each other. This kind of drinking party is really exciting."

"That's right. What can we do now? We don't know their background. This may just be the beginning."

"For us clients, we will just go with whoever pays. Besides, Franklin is a gangster. Who dares to do business with him?"

The clients were talking about it, all curious about what Franklin would do at the party.

"Okay, Mr. Franklin, let's give the right to speak to others. They have come from far away, not just to watch us perform. We should still communicate well. After all, you are here to take some clients away." Jiang Chuan spoke bluntly and revealed Franklin's intention in one sentence, catching the other party off guard.

"Oh, no! We came here hoping to reconcile with you. Wouldn't it be better if we could benefit each other?" Franklin quickly denied.

"Then I don't know. But since you are here, you are all guests to me. If you want to cooperate, we can have a good talk." Jiang Chuan responded calmly.

Although Mr. Xu was not present in person, he had been closely following Franklin's every move through surveillance. He found that although Franklin seemed dull, he was actually keeping an eye on those small clients who were hesitant.

Just then, he walked over to a few minor figures who were looking around.

"I heard that you came here to look for opportunities?"

"Are you Mr. Franklin?" the other party asked.

Franklin saw an opportunity and nodded quickly. "That's right. In fact, we have heard of your name for a long time. We just want to find a reliable businessman to cooperate with us and provide us with weapons. As you know, we are now restricted in many ways internationally."

"Don't worry, if you cooperate with us, we will never treat you unfairly. But we still need to discuss in detail about high-end weapons and equipment." Franklin made a promise.

Jiang Chuan saw it all.

He has always been wary of these small customers. Although they appear as representatives of countries or regions, Jiang Chuan does not trust them.

"Jiang Chuan, don't be anxious. These people don't look like good people. You just need to grasp the key points and stick to your principles." Old Xu reminded through the headset.

"Don't worry, if he dares to do anything out of line, the organizing committee will directly ask him to leave." Jiang Chuan responded.

At this time, several big bosses came over.

"Mr. Jiang, I never expected this. When we first started working with you, you were just a small arms dealer. The preferential policies back then were much greater than they are now. We also know that you are getting bigger and bigger, so we are also adjusting our strategy." said one of the bosses.

"Haha!" Jiang Chuan smiled, his mind clear as a mirror.

He knew that these big customers wanted to restore the previous prices.

"If you want the previous goods, I can arrange for the factory to produce them. But you also know that we have now eliminated traditional firearms and turned to the development of laser weapons," Jiang Chuan explained.

He knows that laser weapons represent the future and that current laboratory research is based on this.

"We know that you have stopped producing artillery shells and bullets. But your weapons cannot be used in many remote areas now. You see, Franklin is taking advantage of this loophole, so you have to think it through carefully," another boss reminded.

"Yeah." Jiang Chuan nodded.

"If you are free tomorrow, you can visit my laboratory factory. I have already communicated with my superiors, and they agree to your visit." Jiang Chuan made the invitation.

The bosses were delighted to hear this, as they wanted to see how these weapons were produced.

"Aren't you afraid that Franklin will see these devices and start studying and copying them?" someone asked.

"Let them be. With their current level of scientific research, it will take them at least ten years to catch up with us. By then, we will have been upgraded." Jiang Chuan said confidently.

He was already prepared to deal with it.

"And we plan to sell laser weapons at a very low price through technological innovation," Jiang Chuan added.

The bosses finally felt relieved, as this was their first opportunity to enter the core area of ​​Jiangchuan.

"Everyone!" Jiang Chuan took the opportunity to gather everyone together. "Tomorrow morning, the leaders of each of your delegations will receive this thing from me. Please be sure to carry it with you. Because tomorrow I will take you to visit my scientific research factory."

Everyone's eyes lit up, especially Franklin, who was ecstatic. He never thought that he would have the opportunity to directly enter the opponent's core base.

In fact, this plan was proposed by Mr. Xu. He hoped to humiliate Franklin in this way and make him realize his own strength.

After the cocktail party, Jiang Chuan returned home. Xu Jiajia was puzzled. "What on earth are you two talking about? Tell me quickly, how can you let people visit your core department casually?" Xu Jiajia asked.

As a police officer, she knew the importance of security, but she couldn't understand why sophisticated equipment was displayed openly to others.

Old Xu nodded, he knew that Xu Jiajia would definitely ask this question.

"Let me ask you, was our pursuit and interception useful at the beginning? Wasn't my daughter Xu Yuanwei still controlled by spies? Some things are hard to guard against, so it's better to show them openly. Even if they want to learn, they will only learn the basics." Old Xu explained.

Xu Jiajia was convinced by Mr. Xu's words.

"You mean well, but our decisions are based on facts. We have already conducted rigorous assessments, and we are only opening conventional weapons manufacturing factories this time. Do you think we will share our cutting-edge weapons technology? Especially our space fighter program that we are upgrading, will we easily tell those businessmen?" Mr. Xu explained further.

It suddenly dawned on Xu Jiajia that they were only partially open to show their sincerity.

Sometimes you really have to stop and think about the context of everything. However, considering that you are a girl and you are pregnant, I will not argue with you for the time being.

The next morning, the door of the experimental building slowly opened, as if welcoming some important moment.

A group of scientists who were ready to go had already been waiting outside. They were full of expectations, but at the same time they were confused by the boss's decision - why would he open these core areas so readily?
"Everyone, I know you have questions in your hearts, but please listen to me and keep it confidential afterwards." Jiang Chuan looked solemn, with an unquestionable firmness in his tone.

After a detailed explanation, everyone finally understood and the mystery in their hearts was solved.

"Please rest assured, boss. We know what to do. After seeing this, those bosses will definitely think about copying it, but they will definitely encounter many difficulties after returning home." A scientist said confidently.

"That's right!" Jiang Chuan smiled slightly, with wisdom shining in his eyes. "We just need to do our own job well, and let them deal with the rest."

At this time, several buses drove in slowly. Franklin got off the bus first and was amazed by the experimental base in front of him.

"You are really rich. Such a huge scientific research center is also a national-level existence in our country Atlantis." Franklin couldn't help but sigh.

Jiang Chuan did not respond directly, but took everyone on a tour. In the experimental base, there were all kinds of machine tools and experimental equipment that had never been seen before, which made people dazzled.

"Mr. Xu, these machine tools look quite ordinary. How can they produce so many cutting-edge weapons? I thought you would have some high-end equipment!" a customer asked curiously.

"The key lies in technology." Jiang Chuan explained patiently, "Without key talents, even the most advanced equipment is just a decoration. Most of our team members are elites trained domestically, and of course there are some outstanding people who returned from Atlantis. Our talent pool has never been interrupted."

Then, Jiang Chuan mentioned Bais, the former leader of Atlantis: "I am very grateful for Bais' help. Without him, I might not have achieved what I have today."

As soon as these words came out, the whole place burst into laughter. Only Franklin stood there awkwardly, looking a little unnatural.

"Baith is also my good friend, so you should be careful when you speak," Franklin reminded.

"Oh, sorry, I forgot you were still here." Jiang Chuan pretended to apologize, "Don't worry, I will pay attention next time. But, having said that, our cooperation still needs to continue, right?"

The bosses present did not think much about it, they felt that everything was expected. However, Franklin felt a little aggrieved. He understood that all the arrangements today were aimed at him.

"This guy is so insidious. He deliberately embarrassed me." Franklin cursed in his heart, "After this carnival is over, I will make our leaders pay attention to it and increase the research efforts on weapons and equipment."

However, the members of the delegation disagreed with Franklin's idea. They were well aware of the country's financial situation and understood that Putin could not fully control the bank.

"Does our country have the financial resources? Besides, can Putin help you?" a member questioned.

"That's true. We originally wanted to come to the Great Shang Kingdom to seek help, but it turned out like this." Another member sighed.

"It's not good to return home early. It's too rude. How about this, let's not go out for the next few days and just stay at home."

The entire delegation was in despair. They had expected to gain something from the carnival, but ended up with nothing and a cold reception.

A few days later, the carnival finally ended. Franklin could not wait to take his team on a flight back home. In the Little White House, Putt was also shocked after hearing about Franklin's experience at the carnival.

"You..." Putt was speechless for a moment.

"I don't care. I must study these weapons and equipment. If you don't give me money, at least you have to let the bank lend me money. This is the bottom line." Franklin said angrily.

Put sighed helplessly. He knew that the bank was not completely under his control, and it was still unknown whether he could get a loan.

"Don't sigh in front of me. It won't work on me. My meaning is very clear. Either you get me a low-interest loan from the bank, or you find other ways to increase the defense budget," Franklin said aggressively.

This made Putt feel very embarrassed. Although Xiaobailou had a precedent of cooperating with arms dealers to develop weapons, it was only in special times. The current situation is completely different.

In desperation, Put had to bite the bullet and find the speaker. After Franklin returned to the country, he immediately set about using the existing funds to set up a research department. However, this move caused concern among family members because everyone knew that the family's funds were not sufficient and most of the funds were taken away by Franklin Jr.

"Our family is really out of money. If all else fails, let Franklin Jr. come back. At worst, we can breach the contract and refuse to pay the penalty." A family member suggested.

Franklin was also extremely helpless. He knew that he was under great pressure, and the money could be used for emergency. If all of it was squandered by Franklin Jr., once the overseas support plan was not completed, both plans would fail.

"Dad, are you kidding me? I finally convinced you and we are ready to start building our project building locally. Now you say you want to withdraw the money..." Franklin Jr. said anxiously on the other end of the phone.

"What do you mean? Don't tell me you've already made a deal with them." Franklin asked in surprise.

"Yes! It really took a lot of effort! I finally managed to negotiate with those people in the shantytown, and I also borrowed some money locally to settle the matter." Franklin Jr. said helplessly.

Franklin was speechless after hearing this. He knew very well that his son was acting according to the results of their discussion, but now he was in such a passive situation. (End of this chapter)
