A few days later, Put finally arrived at the Great Shang Kingdom. After a series of diplomatic etiquette and greetings, they finally arrived at the conference room. However, this so-called negotiation did not have too many twists and turns and suspense.

However, undercurrents were surging. In particular, Liu Zhijun and Director Lin also came to the capital, and their presence undoubtedly added a bit of mystery to this visit.

"You are awesome!" Boss Zhao looked at Franklin with a hint of admiration in his eyes. He knew that Franklin had made a big move this time. However, he also knew that there were both risks and opportunities behind this. It all depended on whether Franklin could seize this opportunity.

For such a small amount of money, you actually asked the leader to cover for you!" one person said in surprise.

"That's right! There is no other way. If Mr. Leader doesn't help, we can't take the money out of the country at all." Another person answered frankly.

Just like that, Boss Zhao handed the bank card to him again with peace of mind.

"Now that your leader is here, there shouldn't be any problems." Someone whispered.

But the higher authorities were having a headache at this time, especially Director Lin, who had no idea how to deal with it.

"Don't say anything. The leader came to the Great Shang Kingdom in person, it must be to cover up for Franklin Yangmu."

"Don't talk nonsense. How could a country's leader be used by businessmen as a cover?" The head of the superior department looked incredulous.

Liu Zhijun had no choice but to recount the case he was investigating in detail, which made the person in charge feel a little helpless.

"So, according to you, you insist that they did it on purpose, right?" asked the person in charge with a frown.

"Yes! Then what do you think we should do? Even if this is the bank's money and the country's funds, if it just flows out like this, we will have to kneel down and thank God." Liu Zhijun said helplessly.

Just when everyone was at a loss, the superior came over and said, "Are you overthinking this? Put did come to the Great Shang Kingdom, but that doesn't mean we are helpless."

Jiang Chuan looked at his superior, not knowing what to do.

"First of all, your bank can only be used on our trading system platform, right?" asked the superior.

"Yes!" Jiang Chuan replied.

“That’s it. No matter whether he wants to transfer the money directly or not, as long as it goes through our platform, we can implement a circuit breaker. If he wants to withdraw the money, whether it is at home or abroad, we can implement a circuit breaker through the financial system. Just report this account to any bank and then enter it into the system, isn’t it? In this way, this card of his will be useless even if he takes it abroad.” The superior leader’s words made everyone’s eyes light up. It turned out that the problem that everyone had been worried about was explained clearly by the superior leader in a few words.

"They just want to take the bank card away during Putin's visit. Don't worry about it. We should just do what we have to do and not neglect any diplomatic etiquette," the superior leader continued.

Jiang Chuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then I can have a good sleep." Jiang Chuan said.

"Not yet. Things are not that simple. When Put comes this time, I may need your help." said the superior.

The situation was like this. After Put arrived at the Great Shang Kingdom, he proposed a suggestion that the two countries could build a real weapons sales platform. Such a thing would not be allowed by any country.

"Actually, you can just refuse directly. Besides, I'm just a businessman. I can't be on the front line like I used to," Jiang Chuan said.

"That's not necessary. They are making their move now. You just need to talk to Franklin. I believe you can reach some consensus. The final result will be very simple, that is, to prevent the establishment of the joint platform for arms sales, right?" said the superior leader.

It turns out that this is a new negotiation. Now it seems that both sides have different bargaining chips, and this idea is said to have come up with Putin on the plane.

In the hotel, Franklin was worried. He didn't know how to negotiate because he didn't have many chips in his hand.

"Oh! I don't know how long I will stay in the Great Shang Kingdom. I heard that Put will not return until three days later. During these three days, I have to negotiate with Boss Xu. With my level, it seems that I can't represent the Atlantis Kingdom at all." Franklin sighed.

When the entourage heard Franklin's complaints, they also joined in.

"Actually, I don't think you need to talk directly. This negotiation can't go on at all. The Great Shang Kingdom is so powerful, how could it possibly follow the Atlantis Kingdom to do such a thing? Don't you think so?" said the follower.

"Yeah!" Franklin said helplessly.

But if the negotiation fails, I won't be able to hold my head up in front of Put. What's more, this visit is just to cover up and take the bank card back.

"In fact, Boss Xu knows whether the negotiation can be successful or not. If the other party keeps making trouble, you can just put the blame for the failure on them." The attendant gave Franklin advice.

"Yes!" Franklin's eyes lit up.

The next day, they appeared in the conference room and Boss Xu did not seem nervous.

"The information I want to talk about today should have been sent to you. What do you think about the joint weapons sales platform between our two countries?" asked Boss Xu.

"If we are going to do it, why only our two countries? Wouldn't it be better if we call all countries to create a joint sales platform together? Are you planning to monopolize it? Especially the Big Bear Country in the north, can't they directly participate?" Jiang Chuan said on behalf of the Great Shang Country.

"They?" Franklin frowned. He knew that the Great Merchants would mention the country in the north. So he took out some documents and placed them in front of everyone.

"If it's the Barley Country, we can consider it, but forget about them. We have an irreconcilable feud with them," said Franklin.

"Irreconcilable?" Jiang Chuan smiled.

"Actually, I wanted to complain today, but I was afraid that some people would get angry when they heard it, so I will just say one thing, you are only allowing the officials to set fires and not allowing the common people to light lamps. My meaning is very clear, if we want to build a joint sales platform, we must bring them with us, this is our bottom line. If you can't do it, then let's not talk about it." Jiang Chuan was firm.

Franklin didn't expect the negotiation to end just as it began, and the other party's position was very clear: they didn't want to be a joint sales platform. "Then I think there's nothing to talk about." Franklin said, and stood up.

"Okay, in that case, then the negotiations are over today. I will announce directly to the media reporters that we will no longer do joint platform things from now on." After Franklin returned to the hotel, he was very unhappy and called Putt directly. Putt was a little embarrassed when he heard it.

"They really think that we will never do business with those people. Let's put it this way, you just tell them directly that I can accept any country except the Big Bear Country." Putt said on the phone.

The next day, another round of negotiations began. It was obvious that Jiang Chuan never accepted Franklin's proposal. In his opinion, if he wanted to do it, he had to do it on a global scale.

"You are simply kidding. The Great Bear Country has very strong military power in the world. If we want to be a weapons sales platform, how can we bypass them? Besides, if you do this, I think we should just do our own things. And I also believe that the so-called legal platform you mentioned just wants to raise prices. There is no need for that." Jiang Chuan said bluntly.

After two rounds of negotiations, Franklin simply gave up the project. In the evening, he went directly to Put's room.

"It seems that the other party really doesn't want to continue cooperating with us. That doesn't matter. After we return home, we will continue to fight with weapons. Don't you have money now? After this is over, you can just give the money directly to your son, right?" Franklin said.

"Yes!" Put replied helplessly.

Franklin was also very depressed. Although his son was using the money to fill the hole, the funding gap was getting bigger and bigger, which made him, as a father, very worried.

And just like that, a strange visit ended.

After they returned to Atlantis, Put finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Franklin took his bank card to the relevant bank.

"Hello, I plan to withdraw money from this card. I have already made an appointment with you yesterday." Franklin said to the staff.

As a result, after seeing the card, the staff shook their heads helplessly.

"I'm sorry, you can't withdraw money with this card. It can only be used selectively and requires our regulatory approval," said the staff member.

"What does that mean?" Franklin was confused.

"Let me tell you this, this money came into your hands from the Great Shang Kingdom, right? And you came directly to our bank with your bank card. I can tell you clearly that no bank can withdraw this money because it must be transferred through our bank." The staff explained in detail.

Franklin was stunned and sat down in his seat, at a loss. He never expected that he could not get the money after all his efforts.

"This money is not mine in the first place, why don't you give it to me?" he muttered to himself, "I clearly have a legitimate reason, and I even signed the contract."

"You're right. I've read the contract." The staff member's voice was calm and objective. "But there's nothing I can do because there's also a contract between us and your borrower."

As he spoke, the staff member gently placed the contract in front of Franklin.

"This is the English version. I believe that as an experienced businessman, you should be able to understand the problem with this contract."

Franklin couldn't wait to pick up the contract and read it carefully. However, the terms in the contract shocked him and he stared with his eyes wide open in disbelief.

"Are you kidding me? If you don't want to pay, why don't you just say so? I'm speechless."

After leaving the bank, Franklin immediately called Boss Zhao. After a round of complaints, he couldn't help but curse.

"Is it fun for you to play hide-and-seek with me all day long?" he roared.

"Explain yourself clearly. What do you mean by playing hide and seek?" Boss Zhao's voice also rose a few notches. "Did I give you this money? If you can't use it now, that's your problem. If it really doesn't work, you can bring it back to China and we can have a good discussion. What do you think?"

"What are you still arguing about?" Franklin shouted angrily, "You gave me a useless card. I can't use it abroad. I tell you, you must pay me the penalty for breach of contract now, otherwise I will never let you go. Moreover, the penalty for breach of contract must be paid three times!"

Boss Zhao was also stunned. What was going on? If the problem with this card was not resolved now, he would have to face triple the penalty for breach of contract.

"Don't get excited yet, hang up the phone." Boss Zhao tried to calm himself down. "I'll go to the bank right away to ask what's going on. I'll give you a satisfactory answer."

After hanging up the phone, Boss Zhao was extremely anxious and immediately drove to Jiangchuan's company.

"Jiang Chuan, are you trying to trick me?" He shouted angrily as he entered the room. "Since you are willing to do this business with me, you should know the consequences. Now my clients can't withdraw money abroad. What do you want me to do?"

Jiang Chuan looked at him calmly and said slowly, "Boss Zhao, this money is directly loaned to you by us, right? Have you read the contract carefully? I remember I reminded you that this money cannot be used overseas, and you didn't object at that time, right?"

"What?" Boss Zhao was shocked and quickly took out the contract to check it carefully. Sure enough, it was clearly written in the contract that the money was not allowed to be used overseas.

He slumped helplessly in the chair beside him and sighed: "It seems that there is no other way now."

Jiang Chuan shook his head, with a bit of helplessness in his tone: "Boss Zhao, we are old classmates, and I don't want to see you in trouble. But if you really can't pay the other party, you have to pay three times the penalty for breach of contract."

"Three times?" Jiang Chuan's words shocked Boss Zhao again. He stared at Jiang Chuan with wide eyes.

Jiang Chuan stood up, with a bit of anger in his tone: "When you signed the contract, did you consider the seriousness of the problem? What did I tell you at the time? This money must not be put abroad, but you just didn't listen. Now something has happened, right? You still want me to give you the green light? I tell you, this amount of money is unbearable for anyone, let alone my bank."

"What do you mean?" Boss Zhao also became excited. "Speak clearly!"

"Okay, then I'll explain it to you clearly." Jiang Chuan said calmly, "This money is not a loan from me to you, but a transfer from our country through the treasury. Do you know that?" (End of this chapter)
