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

Chapter 211 Crying poor
"Enough? How can you be embarrassed?"

Officer Da Mao said this, but he was already happy in his heart.

After all, if he brought this good news back to the military, he would still get a reward of some kind even if he wasn't promoted. But what made him even more happy was that in fact, the entire operation was basically done according to Yang Xia's wishes, and he basically didn't pay anything.

In this way, Yang Xia is very interesting. Isn't this a good thing that falls from the sky?
"I'm sorry, why are you so embarrassed?" Yang Xia narrowed his eyes, "I just ask you to give your various departments, especially the leaders, a few kind words, and say that you hope to purchase weapons from us in the future, okay?"

"Okay, why not?"

The two sides hit it off immediately and shook hands immediately.

But what happened next was indeed beyond Yang Xia's expectations.

A while later, it was said that Major Pishi did convey Yang Xia's intention to Damao. But Da Mao was still wandering between the two sides at first, looking like he was going to make a big purchase.

However, as things went on, they turned out to be thundering but not raining.

"There's no movement from Da Mao?" Yang Xia casually took a photo of the document in the office, "Old Xu, what do you think might be going on?"

Xu Lei bared his teeth and joked about Yang Xia: "I dare not say what happened, but last time I sold them weapons at a 40% discount. Originally, I was careful to taste them first before buying them. But now it seems that they eat them after eating them." , Just burp."

"This won't work. Let's do this first. Let's investigate secretly."

After discussing it, Yang Xia sent several people from the marketing department to wander around Da Mao, seeking information under the guise of selling weapons.

As a result, when these people came back, they were basically crying.

It turned out that they had spent a lot of effort, and the only news they got was that Da Mao was not ready to buy it for the time being, and there was nothing else.

"Not buying?"

Yang Xia didn't know whether to laugh or cry. There is a saying that listening to you is like listening to a speech. There is actually nothing wrong with using this sentence here.

Yang Xia tapped his fingers on the table. After thinking for a long time, he finally made a decision.

Since he couldn't investigate behind the scenes, it would be better for him to ask in person.

"Commander, Wu Gou Shuangxue's Yang Xia is here and wants to see you."

In the commander's office, soldiers opened the door and came in to report.

Yang Xia?

The commander was puzzled after hearing this, but he soon understood.

As the saying goes, don't go to the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble. At this time, the commander not only understood that the other party had something to do, he even knew everything about him by just counting his fingers.

After a while, the soldier brought two cups of coffee.

Yang Xia took a few sips and saw the commander looking at him with a smile, as if waiting for him to speak. He was more direct and asked tentatively: "Commander, I think you have already guessed what I am here for, right?"

"Oh?" The commander smiled but did not answer, "You tell me."

Yang Xia was more direct. He first thanked Da Mao for his previous help in dealing with Yingjiang, and then changed the subject and asked Major Pi Shi if he had conveyed his intention.

After seeing the commander nod, Yang Xia continued to test. Damao stopped the procurement plan. Didn't they encounter some difficulties?
In fact, Yang Xia just asked casually. In his opinion, Da Mao is a country and a world-class power, so there shouldn't be any difficulties that can suppress them.

However, what the commander said made his jaw drop.

"Mr. Yang, you guessed it right." The commander put down his coffee and sighed, "To tell you the truth, you also know that the war between us and Ermao has been going on for two years."

"In the past two years, our domestic economy has been in recession, coupled with sanctions such as Eagle Sauce, so the national treasury is empty."

The commander continued as if he were the leader of the country and worried about the whole country.

But what he meant was that Da Mao really had no money now, so the weapons matter had to be put aside.

"Besides, on the other hand, although your weapons are very good, they are also extremely expensive. We cannot afford them in our current economic situation."

"Oh, I see."

Yang Xia nodded thoughtfully, feeling embarrassed for a moment.

Da Mao has no money?

Lack of money is indeed a problem, but they are weapons dealers. They can't make a loss-making business and discount all weapons at 60% off like before, right?

In order to prove that he was not lying, the commander came up with an idea.

He suggested to Yang Xia that if he didn't believe it, he could take him to visit the military area.

"No, Commander, how could I not believe it?" Yang Xia waved his hand hurriedly, stood up and prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, the commander repeatedly tried to persuade him to stay, and his wishful thinking was rattling. He wanted to let Yang Xia see the situation clearly, maybe this guy would give Da Mao a preferential price.

Yang Xia couldn't refuse, mainly because he was quite curious, thinking that you said he was poor, but I wanted to see how poor a country like Mao could get.
The car left the headquarters, and under the leadership of junior officers, the two went to a military area near Damao.

After the car stopped, everyone entered the warehouse area.

"Open!"

Arriving at the first warehouse, the commander ordered someone to open the door.

As the warehouse door was slowly opened, the weapons inside gradually appeared in front of Yang Xia's eyes.

Looking around, I saw that although the entire warehouse was full, it was all old-fashioned equipment. For example, T-series tanks, Katyusha rocket launchers and so on during World War II.

Many of the weapons even looked rusty, which made Yang Xia wonder whether they could be sold as junk.

"Let's go and look inside again."

The commander discovered the secret in Yang Xia's eyes and guided him to continue walking inside.

As he continued to walk in, Yang Xia felt shocked.

He asked the commander what purpose these weapons were going to be used for. The commander smiled awkwardly and said that although the performance of these weapons was far inferior to contemporary weapons, they could still be used to deal with some local wars and small countries.

For example, not to mention, in the war with the Ermao, they used similar weapons to suppress the local rebellion on the Ermao side.

Yang Xia walked inside and asked the commander various questions. For example, whether these equipment will be disposed of in the future, and how likely these weapons will be used in the future, etc.

When he reached the end of the weapons warehouse, he was thinking, and gradually an idea was brewing in his mind.

The next morning, the two visited all the warehouses in the Damao armament area.

The commander looked at Yang Xia who was thoughtful, and seemed to be somewhat confident that Da Mao would benefit from the next step of cooperation between the two parties. But as everyone knows, Yang Xia's inner thoughts are similar to his, and he also thinks that he can benefit from subsequent cooperation.

"Commander, the banquet is ready."

As soon as everyone reached the gate of the military area, their subordinates came over and said this.

The commander turned to look at Yang Xia, smiled and asked if you were interested in a drink?

"Then I would rather obey your orders than be respectful."

The commander thought that Yang Xia would refuse, but unexpectedly he agreed directly.

In fact, the commander had already arranged a banquet when the two of them visited, but the purpose was nothing more than weapons.

He might not have thought that Yang Xia agreed so readily because of this incident. The two of them have their own thoughts and are determined to win the other side. I am afraid they have already decided who will lose and who will win.

When he arrived at the door of the restaurant, the commander used the excuse that someone was looking for him and asked his subordinates to take Yang Xia in first.

After a while, he came to the hotel conference room alone and answered a phone call.

"How are things going? Are you sure?"

On the other end of the phone was Mao's defense minister. It turned out that the commander's move was not a flash of inspiration, but an arrangement by the defense minister.

Just when the two of them were visiting, the commander secretly gave a report to the Minister of Defense, explaining the matter and his thoughts. The Minister of Defense deeply agreed with this idea and suggested that he use this method to purchase Yang Xia's weapons with as little money as possible.

"Minister, from my observation, Yang Xia seems to be touched. I am ready to give this idea a try."

After hanging up the phone with the Minister of Defense, the commander walked into the banquet hall calmly.

"What are you doing standing there, not pouring wine for Mr. Yang?"

The commander sat opposite Yang Xia, pointed at his subordinates and ordered.

Soon Yang Xia's wine glass was filled. After seeing this, the commander stood up and pointed the wine glass at Yang Xia: "Here, for the sake of our cooperation, I will help myself to a glass first."

After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp and showed Yang Xia that his glass was empty.

Yang Xia was flattered that such a high-ranking officer as the commander was so polite, and he hurriedly drank it all.

Both parties were so polite, and the atmosphere in the room quickly became heated.

The commander tried every means to get close to Yang Xia, and every word he said revolved around weapons. The purpose was already very clear.

"Alas, the wine is good, the food is good, and the people are good. It's just... alas!"

After drinking a few glasses of wine, the commander sighed heavily as he spoke.

Upon seeing this, Yang Xia already guessed what the commander wanted to say, so he simply smiled and asked him why he said this?

Seeing that the time had come, the commander hurriedly began to cry for poverty.

He started from Yingjiang and the West's containment of Da Mao in recent years, to the war with Er Mao, and then to Da Mao's empty treasury today. In the end, he settled on himself.

"Mr. Yang is not afraid of your jokes. You said that I am a great commander, but I can't do anything in the face of this situation. Am I a useless commander?"

"Commander, this is wrong." Yang Xia comforted him and then turned to test, "Actually, I know that you guys are short of money to buy weapons, but there is no way to solve this problem."

After hearing this, the commander first snickered and then was surprised.

To be honest, he realized that Yang Xia had been tricked, but he didn't expect that the other party would actually take the initiative.

However, Yang Xia's words aroused the commander's interest, and he immediately gave Yang Xia a puzzled look and expression.

"That's right, Commander," Yang Xia pointed in the direction of the armament area, "Don't you have a lot of treasures over there? Why do you still say you have no money?"

baby?

The commander was stunned after hearing this, and it took him a while to realize what Yang Xia meant.

He immediately laughed and said, how can that pile of scrap metal be called treasure?

I didn't know what kind of medicine Yang Xia was selling in the gourd. The commander laughed awkwardly and explained that the pile of weapons was actually close to being scrapped and had no use value at all.

If they could be used, why would they be stored there?

"Oh, you don't mean..."

Speaking of this, the commander seemed to realize something. At this time, Yang Xia nodded and asked the commander in a joking tone, if they thought it was a pile of scrap copper and iron, could they sell it as junk?

"Okay, okay, you go on."

The commander's appetite had been completely whetted by Yang Xia, so Yang Xia simply stopped covering it up.

He asked the commander if these weapons could be given to his military factory as junk, as a gift for future cooperation between the two parties. Of course, they won't ask for it in vain and will give some feedback to Damao.

Seeing that the commander was becoming more and more interested, Yang Xia finally said: "Let's do this. If you give us these weapons for free, we will treat them as part of the money and directly give you some of the latest weapons from the military factory."

"You also said that these weapons are just junk. If you trade some junk weapons for some new equipment, you won't suffer a loss, right?"

Wait, exchange?
After hearing this, the commander was completely stunned, and the other officers on the table were also dumbfounded.

They all looked at each other with complicated eyes, thinking that Yang Xia was joking.

After all, their original intention was to gain Yang Xia's sympathy by crying about poverty, and then achieve the purpose of purchasing weapons at low prices. Now, where is Yang Xia's concession? It's just a gift, right?

"Uh, Mr. Yang, you...you're not joking, are you?"

The commander was the first to react and asked with a slight cough.

"How could this be a joke?" Yang Xia couldn't help but laugh. "You are from the Great Mao Military Department. No matter how courageous I am, I wouldn't dare. Besides, do you think I'm stupid?"

"commander-"

Although everyone knows that there is no such thing as pie in the sky in this world, but if it does happen, who wouldn't want such a good thing to happen to them?
The commander came back to his senses only when an officer next to him shouted and stepped on him.

He immediately laughed at Yang Xia: "Yes, of course, but... can you tell me why?"

He had some scruples in his heart, mainly because he knew that Yang Xia must have a reason for saying so much. The commander asked cautiously, and the original 'you' even became 'you'.

"Don't worry about this for now," Yang Xia took advantage of the situation and pursued him, "Just say it's okay, right?"

"Okay, that's great."

The commander was so excited that he walked up to Yang Xia and held his hand.

But after holding it for a while, the guy suddenly rolled his eyes and asked Yang Xia if he could sign an agreement on this matter.

Seeing that Yang Xia was a little puzzled and unhappy, the commander explained very politely, saying that this matter seemed like a child playing house, and it seemed that it was too informal to say so.

Besides, for such a big matter, even though I am the commander, I can't just say this. He must ask his superiors for instructions. When the time comes, he will have a document or something in his hand to explain to his superiors more safely.

"What's wrong with that?"

Yang Xia agreed happily. In fact, he understood what the commander was thinking.

These guys are just worried that with such a good deal, Yang Xia will wake up and regret it.

It's better to sign an agreement like this and put it in black and white than when they regret it and everyone can't explain it, right?

"What are you doing standing around? Go and make the documents."

The commander yelled at the officer next to him, and the guy came back to his senses.

Everyone continued to sit down and drink, and within a few glasses of wine, the document had been produced. The commander looked at it carefully and then showed it to Yang Xia again. After both parties decided that there was no problem, they signed and pressed their fingerprints.

After the documents were signed, everyone continued to drink. Both parties firmly believed that they had taken advantage, so the room was filled with happy voices.
