Return to the exciting era of 1999

Chapter 1716 Attitude Change
"Once our cooperation begins, the benefits you will get will definitely be more than three million. It is worth it to entertain the guests with a glass of champagne. Ran Bo, get some of our wine. I am safe here."

Ji Donglai was not afraid of Brown's arrogance. The entire Middle East and Southern Europe were the most chaotic places in the world, a paradise for adventurers. Only angels and messengers from hell came here. Ji Donglai came here to do business between the two.

"Claire is right. You are very special. I am in international trade. There is a batch of scrap steel coming from the Bosbrus Strait. I hope you can take them. We can discuss the price now or after we see the goods."

After staring at Ji Donglai for half a minute, who showed no fear at all, Brown took out his business card and handed it to Ji Donglai.

The name Brown was very common, but Ji Donglai had to pay attention to the other party's address, K Street! A place that could influence the White House's decision-making, the people there were dedicated to building bridges between the devil and the angel.

"Yes, we will do the same transaction as Mr. Claire. We will open an account in this bank and Mr. Brown's funds will be kept in it."

Taking out his business card, Ji Donglai handed a photo of Hu Xinyu's bank account to Brown, who just glanced at it and put it in his pocket.

"Mr. Ji, maybe we can cooperate for a long time. That guy outside is very annoying. You'd better deal with him to avoid being investigated. Some people are very annoying."

Brown stood up and pointed at the sky outside and said coldly.

Ji Donglai stood up and discovered that there was a small black dot about ten meters above the sea surface, and Ran Bo happened to come in.

"Nine o'clock, ten meters high, drone, shoot it down."

Pointing in that direction, Ji Donglai patted Ran Bo on the back. Ran Bo looked up into the sky, then came to the beach, adjusted his watch in the general direction of the drone, and then pressed the button.

"Pfft..."

"What happened? Our drone lost contact!"

"The picture is there, what's going on..."

Three kilometers away from here, in a van, several people wearing headphones were horrified. Inside the surveillance car, the images disappeared and several people heard a harsh sound in their ears.

"Ji, we will work together very well. How much of this weapon do you have? I need it. You name the price!"

Soon, Brown's men salvaged the drone on a motorboat. Looking at the model on it, Brown shook hands with Ji Donglai for the first time and a smile appeared on his face.

"We have as many as you want, including drones. Mr. Brown, just call the number above and say I'm your friend. Our production base is in Saudi Arabia, so there are no restrictions. I will do business with you throughout the region."

"Deal! I think we can do this. I'll pay for your drone with steel, and the weapon with US dollars. I'll set up the account quickly. You're a qualified businessman, different from the conservative people in your country. We can be friends."

After getting Ji Donglai's consent, Brown gave Ji Donglai a warm hug, then immediately took the phone and asked his accountant to open an account for Ji Donglai in a bank in Italy within minutes.

As for the drone weapons, the other party handed them over to his deputy.

Li Dongxin got the information very quickly and made arrangements immediately after being surprised. The sales of drones were not very high at the moment, but the other party placed an order for 50,000 sets at once, and needed to remove the serial number and place of origin. The other party ordered 20,000 sets of infrared laser capture guns.

The means of payment was the material exchange that Ji Donglai often used, with partial payment of funds. Needless to say, this was another deal negotiated by Ji Donglai.

Because of Brown's intervention, Ji Donglai originally had some disputes about the use and development rights of the island that needed to be resolved. However, when Li Dongxin entered the local department again, all the procedures had been stamped, and the leader's attitude had changed 180 degrees.

"Mr. Li, why didn't you tell us that you were a friend of the Speaker when you came to do business last time? If you had told us earlier, our procedures would have been much faster. Fortunately, the procedures have been completed now. I hope that I didn't delay your business. If that's the case, we would feel very sorry. If you need our help in the future, please call us in time. Thank you!"

The fat official in charge was smiling and looked completely different from the people from Yiyuan Intelligence who came to do business the last few times.

Li Dongxin was surprised and quickly responded to the other party's words and shook hands with him politely.

"Ah, our President Ji has told us not to mention this relationship unless it's something extremely important. After all, this is just a small project we invested in locally, and there are still many important things to do later. Mr. Speaker, come back and inspect it in person when the time comes."

Li Dongxin's words almost made the fat man bow 90 degrees, and a thousand "Cao Ni Ma"s ran through his mind.

Since 2004, civil servants across the country have been frequently transferred, and the job they are currently doing is a lucrative one somewhere between important and unimportant.

By guarding the investment of foreigners, you can get some bonuses at any time.

But this is only true if the other party has no local background, so the fat man will always ask the clerk whether he is a relative of a certain leader. Once he knows that he is not, then he is a fat sheep.

That morning, the Speaker personally called to inquire about the progress of Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing Investment. When he heard that it was not completed yet, he started to scold the fat man. The fat man almost died.

"Mr. Li, please rest assured that we are a law-abiding department. I guarantee with my personal integrity that the civil servants who serve you are honest and self-disciplined and can help you solve any problem."

"We will soon provide everything you need. Please trust our ability and efficiency. We will get it done..."

Not showing courtesy at this time would be tantamount to giving up one's career. The fat man made all kinds of promises. When Li Dongxin went out, the other party gave him gifts and helped him open the car door. This treatment stunned people from other countries who came to do business.

Some people also speculated that this was because China had rescued the local economy in the past and now the Greeks were grateful.

"Should I transfer Mr. Wei over here? It looks like we need to build a foundry here. There's no one else with this kind of steel!"

When Li Dongxin returned to the island in the afternoon, several cargo ships had already anchored on the high seas outside the island. The waterline of the bulk carrier had reached the end, and it was towing two unpowered tugboats behind it, all of which had also reached the maximum waterline position.

Most of the scrap metals above are weapon wreckage, ranging from 90mm howitzers to T tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, shell casings, and some mortar wreckage, including fighter jet wreckage.

The other party was too lazy to even press them into blocks, so they were all piled up together.
