Chapter 114: Eagle Sauce Loses Billion
Levin was eventually forced into using his personal connections.

The first thing he did was contact Li Yunfei.

Li Yunfei, who had just returned from the Equipment Design Bureau, was in a good mood because his own aircraft carrier arresting cable had perfectly passed the official acceptance.

From now on, Huayang Iron and Steel Plant has officially obtained the qualification for civilian-to-military conversion, and I don’t have to worry about Huayang Iron and Steel Plant anymore.

He looked at Levin who was calling, answered the call with a smile, and asked enthusiastically: "Levin, long time no see!"

"Li, let's talk business first. Didn't you promise me before that you would renew the order with Oss Steel?"

“Of course, we signed the contract that day.”

"Li, since you have signed the contract, why haven't you shipped the goods yet?"

Li Yunfei shrugged and said with regret in his tone: "Levin, I'm really sorry, there was a small accident in our steel plant."

"I'm afraid we will default on that order, but don't worry, we will pay the penalty as soon as possible."

"The penalty of 36 million US dollars will be paid to the account of Oss Steel Plant in full when the time comes."

Levin frowned when he heard this and asked, "Li, did something happen at your steel plant?"

"Why did they suddenly breach the contract? Thirty-six million US dollars is not a small amount of money!"

"I know your personalities. You must have steel cables in stock, right?"

At this moment, Li Yunfei remembered the movie "An Actor's Self-cultivation" that he had watched.

At this moment, he seemed to be possessed by an actor, learning everything by himself. He sighed and said dejectedly, "Levin, to be honest, there is a problem with our production line."

"The warehouse where the spare cables were stored also leaked due to improper storage, causing all the stock to be ruined."

"If you want to restart the production line and complete the deal, you have to wait at least half a year."

"Levin, you are also my friend. Can you help me intercede and ask them to reduce the sky-high penalty? Please!"

His voice sounded very tired and hoarse, as if all his energy had been drained away.

No matter how hard-hearted Levin was, he couldn't help but feel sympathy at this moment.

"Li, this is indeed not a small amount of money. I can only do my best."

"By the way, Oss Steel sent twelve assistants to your factory, but they all disappeared. Do you know anything about this?"

Li Yunfei asked in surprise: "Oh, is that true? I can use my connections to ask for you."

The voice he spoke was not fake. The acceptance of the aircraft carrier arresting cable lasted for more than half a month. He and the experts were on site every day exposed to the wind and sun, and were really exhausted.

He was also completely unaware of the twelve assistants at the Oss Steel Plant.

After the two hung up the phone.

Levin began to use his identity to contact the officials on the other side and inquire about the whereabouts of the twelve assistants.

The response we received was that the matter is under investigation and we will notify you as soon as there is news.

You know, it has been half a month since the first assistant disappeared.

Levin didn't believe it at all if the other official didn't know anything about it. He also had a bad feeling in his heart at this moment.

"Robin, the other side really can't produce the aircraft carrier arresting cable. There is a problem with their production line and the inventory in the warehouse."

"But they are willing to pay 30% of the penalty, which is 36 million US dollars." Levin said helplessly.

To be honest, thirty-six million US dollars is already a good compensation.

Although this result is not the best, it is at least not very bad, and it can be regarded as an explanation to the other party.

When Michael Robin heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he slammed the table angrily and roared: "Levin, they breached the contract on purpose, absolutely!"

"Robin, calm down. This is thirty-six million US dollars. They can't afford that, right?"

"You don't understand, where is my assistant?" Michael Robin pushed the female secretary back under the desk and asked.

Now things were heading for the worst outcome. He was eager to know what exactly happened at the Huayang Steel Plant.

Levin shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "I really don't know. Their official reply is that they are investigating and will notify me when there is news."

"Robin, if you want me to help you, then you have to tell me the truth."

"I signed a contract with them officially to export 200 aircraft carrier arresting cables."

"I have some impression of that bidding meeting. What happened?"

"Damn it! If Huayang Steel Plant doesn't deliver the goods, we won't be able to produce those 200 aircraft carrier arresting cables, and we will be in breach of contract!"

"Don't you have any aircraft carrier arresting locks in stock?" Levin realized the seriousness of the problem at this time.

The penalty for breach of contract for military orders is indeed terribly high, and it seems that this matter can no longer be concealed from Congress.

After all, aircraft carrier arresting cables are also a must-have item for our country. If it is revealed that they were imported from the Rabbit country, Congress will definitely investigate it thoroughly.

By then, the Oss Steel Works will be finished.

Michael Robin seemed to have been drained of all his energy. He slumped in his boss's chair and replied weakly, "No, we only have fifty in stock."

“Levin, you have to help me, otherwise we will have to pay 4 billion in liquidated damages.”

When Levin heard this number, he also took a breath.

The current development of this matter is completely beyond his personal scope of handling.

"Levin, can you help me borrow 150 aircraft carrier arresting cables from the U.S. Navy? They must have this in stock."

As Levin listened to what the other party said, he really wanted to pull the other party out of the phone and beat him up in person.

How is this possible?

To put it nicely, it is taking over; to put it bluntly, it is stealing naval supplies. Once the secrets are leaked, the minimum penalty is life imprisonment.

After he refused outright, he asked, "As for aircraft carrier arresting cables, don't your steel mills have the production capacity?"

"Yes, but it's too late. To restart the production line and resume production, we need to start from scratch, which will take at least half a year."

"Hiss, damn it, Robin, you're on your own, only God can save you." After Levin said this, he hung up the phone helplessly.

Although he said it heartlessly, he still ran around for this matter.

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

When the aircraft carrier arresting cable was delivered at the end of the month, several shocking news were exposed at the same time, causing billions of netizens to drop their jaws at the same time.

"Austria Steel Works breached the contract and failed to deliver the aircraft carrier arresting cable, and must pay a sky-high penalty of 4 billion US dollars!"

"Huayang Iron and Steel Plant has been converted from civilian to military and has produced qualified aircraft carrier arresting cables."

"National Security arrested 12 unidentified persons near Huayang Steel Plant who were stealing confidential technology. The case is currently under trial."

"Huayang Iron and Steel Plant won the bid for aircraft carrier arresting cables, and the first batch of 200 aircraft carrier arresting cables has been successfully delivered."

These four pieces of news simultaneously became hot searches on the Internet, which shocked the netizens who had been passionately confronting the kneeling tribe and Runren for a month.

Li Yunfei, whose popularity had dropped a lot because he had not responded directly to the aircraft carrier arresting cable incident, has become popular again.

Countless netizens rushed into the live broadcast room and began to apologize.

"Boss Li, I didn't expect you guys have already built an aircraft carrier arresting cable."

"The clown turned out to be me, who was kept in the dark the whole time."

"Thank you. Please call me the deceiver from now on. It's really hard for you to deceive me."

"You little blacks, come out and speak up, who is the pride of Chinese products? I, Boss Li, am awesome, I really pushed the kneeling tribe to the ground and rubbed them!"
