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

Chapter 105: Ready for the first negotiation!

The lights in the conference room reflected a faint light on Zhao Shou's glasses, and his eyes were deep and serious.

"Xiao Li, Xiao Zhang, and Xiao Wang, you three are responsible for this matter." Zhao Shou said in a deep voice, with unquestionable majesty in his tone.

The three of them responded in unison, with determination on their faces. They are all elites carefully selected by Zhao Shou. They are not only skilled in skills, but also cautious in their actions. They are absolutely qualified for this task.

Zhao Shou handed them the account information on the dark web and explained in detail the requirements and precautions for the investigation. The three of them listened carefully and nodded from time to time to express understanding.

"Remember, this matter must be kept secret and no one can know about it." Zhao Shou emphasized again.

The three of them agreed in unison, and then took action quickly. They worked together and used the technical means they were good at to track down the account information of the mysterious supplier.

However, the investigation did not go smoothly. The mysterious supplier was obviously a network expert, and his account protection measures were so impeccable that it was almost impossible to trace any useful information.

Xiao Li, Xiao Zhang and Xiao Wang tried various methods, but all failed.

"The protection measures for this account are too tight, and we can't break through it at all." Xiao Li sighed and said helplessly.

"Yes, the opponent's technical level is obviously higher than ours." Xiao Zhang also agreed.

Xiao Wang didn't speak, but his frown and anxious look said everything.

They all know that if the true identity of this mysterious supplier cannot be traced, Zhao Shou's plan will not proceed.

Just when the three of them were at a loss what to do, Zhao Shou walked in. He looked at the frustrated expressions of the three of them, and he already understood something about it. But instead of blaming them, he encouraged them to keep trying.

"I know this task is difficult, but you are the team I trust most, and I believe you will be able to find a breakthrough." Zhao Shou patted Xiao Wang on the shoulder and said sincerely.

The three of them were deeply moved by Zhao Shou's words. They cheered up and decided to attack the mysterious supplier's account again.

However, after some efforts, they still could not break through the opponent's defense. The mysterious supplier existed like a ghost in the depths of the dark web, making it difficult for them to figure it out.

In the end, the three had to report the investigation results to Zhao Shou.

They lowered their heads and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, Teacher Zhao, we tried our best, but we still can't trace the true identity of the mysterious supplier."

After hearing this, Zhao Shou did not blame them, but took a deep breath, thought for a moment and then said.

"It doesn't matter. This result is already within my expectations. Since the other party is able to sell highly confidential products such as aircraft carrier arresting cables on the dark web, it shows that his strength and technology are extraordinary."

"Although we failed this time, we at least verified the other party's strength and technical level. Next, we need to adjust our strategy and investigate this mysterious supplier from other aspects."

So, in the following days, Zhao Shou and his team began to investigate the mysterious supplier from other aspects.

They collect information, analyze data, research technology through various channels, and work closely with and communicate with other teams.

The atmosphere in the temporary headquarters of the Yingjiang negotiation team suddenly became tense.

Mr. Ramil frowned and glanced at each team member as sharply as a knife.

"Gentlemen, I have noticed some unusual activities in the Jiuzhou team recently." Ramiel said in a deep voice, with a hint of ominous premonition in his tone.

Assistant Charlie immediately came forward, holding a report in his hand.

"Yes, sir. Our surveillance shows that they seem to be investigating something secretly. Moreover, their actions are becoming more and more frequent, and they are obviously planning some big action."

Binger also nodded and added: "Yes, I noticed it too. Their team members often gather together to whisper and check some mysterious information from time to time. I suspect that they may be secretly planning something bad for us. action."

Mr. Ramil took a deep breath and let it out slowly.

"It seems that we have to be more vigilant. The Jiuzhou team has never been a fuel-efficient light. They must be planning something secretly. We must strengthen monitoring and pay close attention to their every move, and we must not let them succeed."

When receiving Ramil's invitation to negotiate, Zhao Shouzheng was standing in front of the window of the Kyushu National Congress Building, looking at the busy port in the distance.

Warships shuttled through the port one after another, including some old ships. Their presence always reminded Zhao Shou of the importance of this negotiation.

The assistant carefully handed over the invitation letter from Yingjiang Country. Zhao Shou took it and looked at it, frowning slightly.

He knew very well that the purpose of the Eagle Country's invitation to negotiate this time was simply to make a fortune in the supply of aircraft carrier arresting cables.

However, the modernization process of the Kyushu Navy cannot be separated from these key equipment, so this negotiation is imperative.

At this moment, Xiao Wang and Xiao Liu hurried in. Xiao Wang is the young backbone of the team, he is full of energy and quick thinking; while Xiao Liu is an experienced veteran, he is calm and sophisticated, and good at grasping the overall situation.

Xiao Wang glanced at the invitation and said excitedly.

"Mr. Zhao Shou, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! If we can successfully negotiate this deal, the strength of the Kyushu Navy will be greatly increased!"

Xiao Liu was relatively calm. He frowned and said, "Xiao Wang, don't be too happy. Yingjiang Country is not that easy to deal with. Since they dare to offer such a high price, it shows that they have enough confidence." . We have to deal with it carefully.”

Zhao Shou nodded, agreeing with Xiao Liu's view.

"Yes, this negotiation is both an opportunity and a challenge for us. We must be fully prepared to ensure that we can obtain the best interests for the country."

He turned to his team members and said, "It looks like we have a tough battle ahead of us."

The team members looked at each other, and they all knew what Zhao Shou meant by "tough battle."

The gap in military technology between Kyushu and Taikado is obvious, and the outcome of this negotiation will be directly related to the future of Kyushu's navy.

On the way to the negotiation venue, Zhao Shou and his team members rode in a black car.

The atmosphere in the car was solemn, and everyone was silently thinking about the next negotiation strategy.

Zhao Shou sat in the back seat with his eyes slightly closed, as if he was resting his mind. But in fact, his brain was running rapidly, thinking about how to deal with the various conditions and requirements that Eagle Sauce Country might put forward.

The convoy passed through the bustling urban area and drove to the Yingjiang Country negotiation venue in the suburbs.

The street scenes along the way flashed by outside the window, but Zhao Shou and his team had no intention of enjoying these scenery. They knew that the outcome of this negotiation would be directly related to the national interests and national dignity of Kyushu.

After arriving at the negotiation venue, Zhao Shou and his team members got out of the car, tidied their clothes, and then walked into the negotiation room with firm steps.

They saw Ramil sitting on the chairman's seat and the Eagle Country negotiating team standing behind him. The eyes of both sides met in the air, as if they were engaged in a silent contest.

Zhao Shou took a deep breath and sat down in his seat. Xiao Wang, Xiao Liu and others also found their own seats and sat down. They all knew that the negotiation on the aircraft carrier blocking cable had officially begun.

The atmosphere in the negotiation room of Yingjiang Country was extremely tense.

The portraits of past leaders on the wall seem to be staring at this contest involving the interests of the two countries.

Ramil, the negotiator of the Eagle Country, sat in the chair with an indescribable majesty in his eyes. He was wearing a crisp suit, and every detail showed how seriously he took this negotiation.

Opposite Ramil, the negotiating team of Kyushu Kingdom was ready.

They all looked solemn and frowned, obviously worried about the outcome of the upcoming negotiations.

The leader of the Kyushu Kingdom negotiation team is Zhao Shou, an experienced, calm and sophisticated diplomat.

He is well aware of the importance of this negotiation, because the purchase of aircraft carrier arresting cables is directly related to the improvement of the combat effectiveness of the Kyushu Navy.

The team members around him are also tensing up and preparing to face the upcoming challenges.

However, just as the negotiations were about to begin, a member of the Eagle Country negotiating team suddenly let out a mocking laugh.

He glanced at the Kyushu Country negotiating team and said disdainfully: "Look at these Kyushu people, do they really think they are qualified to negotiate terms with us?"

Another member of the Eagle Country also echoed: "That's right, they probably don't know that only our Eagle Country in the world can create a real aircraft carrier blocking rope. If they want it, they can only pay for it." "

When Zhao Shou and the members of the Kyushu Nation team heard these mocking and humiliating words, their faces suddenly turned ugly.

They clenched their fists, their hearts filled with anger and humiliation. But they also know that at this moment, staying calm and rational is the most important thing.

Ramil did not stop the members of the Eagle Country from taunting him, but instead showed a proud smile.

He paused deliberately, and then slowly spoke: "Mr. Zhao Shou, we are willing to sell 300 aircraft carrier blocking cables to the Kyushu Kingdom. But the price of each one is 20 million eagle coins."

His voice was calm and firm, as if he was saying something ordinary.

However, this price exploded like a bomb in the Kyushu Country negotiating team.

Zhao Shou and the team members looked at each other with expressions of disbelief on their faces. They all know that this price far exceeds the actual cost of the aircraft carrier's arresting cable and is simply extortion!
They know it's outright humiliating. Zhao Shou took a deep breath and tried to calm down the anger in his heart.

He stared into Ramil's eyes and said word by word: "Mr. Ramil, are you insulting our IQ? This price is simply ridiculous!"

Ramil was unmoved. He shrugged and said lightly.

"Mr. Zhao Shou, you should know that there is no free lunch in this world. The price we have proposed has been carefully considered. If you find it difficult to accept, then we can only express our regrets."

Zhao Shou clenched his fists and his nails dug deeply into his palms. He knew that this negotiation was not destined to be easy.

But he also firmly believed that no matter what, he could not let Jiuzhou Kingdom lose in this contest.

The atmosphere in the negotiation room became more tense. The members of the Kyushu Country negotiation team stared closely at everyone in the Yingjiang Country, as if they wanted to pierce through them with their eyes.

The members of the Eagle Sauce Nation still maintained a condescending attitude, as if they were the only ones to win the negotiation.

Zhao Shou took a deep breath and decided to investigate the clues on this matter closely and strive for more benefits for the Kyushu Kingdom.

Just as the two sides were at war with each other, the door of the negotiation room was suddenly pushed open. A uniformed waiter came in and served tea to both parties.

This small episode broke the tense atmosphere in the negotiation room and gave both parties a brief respite.

Zhao Shou picked up the teacup and took a sip. He knew that the next negotiations would be more difficult.

Zhao Shou glanced at the team members around him and secretly planned the next negotiation strategy.

"Mr. Ramil," Zhao Shou finally spoke, "this price seems a bit unreasonable. As far as I know, the actual cost of the aircraft carrier arresting cable is not high, and the price you proposed is obviously beyond our budget."

Ramil smiled slightly, as if he had anticipated Zhao Shou's reaction.

"Mr. Zhao Shou, you should know that nothing in this world is absolutely reasonable. The price we proposed is based on a variety of factors. If you find it difficult to accept, then we can consider other ways of cooperation."

Zhao Shou frowned, knowing that Ramil was deliberately making things difficult.

He took a deep breath and decided to investigate the clues on this matter to gain more bargaining chips for the subsequent negotiations.

At this moment, a member of the Yingjiang Country negotiation team laughed contemptuously.

"Haha, isn't the Kyushu Kingdom rich? Why can't it even afford such a low price?"

Another member also echoed: "Yes, hasn't Kyushu Country always regarded itself as a military power? Why can't you even part with this small amount of money?"

Zhao Shou's face turned livid instantly. He clenched his fists, trying to contain his anger.

He knew that these ridicules and humiliations were tactics of the Eagle Country negotiating team, with the purpose of making them lose their minds and thus be at a disadvantage in the negotiations.

"Mr. Ramil, we attach great importance to this opportunity for cooperation. However, we also need to ensure that the cooperation is fair and reasonable. I hope that we can jointly find a solution acceptable to both parties." Zhao Shou's tone was firm and powerful.

Ramil looked at Zhao Shou, a look of appreciation flashed in his eyes. He knew that Zhao Shou was a difficult opponent and this negotiation was bound to not be easy.

He nodded and agreed with Zhao Shou's proposal: "Very good, Mr. Zhao Shou. I also hope that we can find a solution acceptable to both parties. So, do you have any specific suggestions?"
