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

Chapter 106 The price is too low, it must be a scam!
Zhao Shou pondered for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "We can consider introducing a third-party evaluation agency to evaluate the actual cost of the aircraft carrier arresting cable. Then, we can negotiate a more reasonable price based on the evaluation results."

Ramil raised his eyebrows slightly after listening to Zhao Shou's suggestion. He knew that the suggestion put forward by Zhao Shou did have some reasonableness. However, he did not want to give up his position easily.

The lights in the negotiation room were dim and soft, reflecting everyone's faces. The eyes of Zhao Shou and Ramil met in the air, as if they were engaged in a silent contest.

Zhao Shou sat at the head of the Jiuzhou Kingdom negotiation team, his brows furrowed and his eyes revealing deep confusion and worry.

In his hand, he held a technical data report on the aircraft carrier arresting cable. This report detailed key information such as various performance indicators, material costs, and production processes of the aircraft carrier arresting cable.

"Mr. Ramil, according to the data in our hands, the manufacturing cost of this aircraft carrier blocking rope is far lower than the price you proposed."

Zhao Shou's tone was firm and powerful, and his fingers gently tapped the numbers on the report.

"It is clearly written here that the key indicators such as the load-bearing capacity, wear resistance, corrosion resistance and service life of the blocking cable are in line with our expectations. But the price you proposed is far beyond our budget."

Ramil smiled slightly and folded his hands on his chest, looking like he was sure of victory.

"Mr. Zhao Shou, what you see is only the manufacturing cost, and the price we proposed also includes R&D, testing, after-sales service, patent technology usage fees and other expenses. Please believe that this price is completely reasonable. "

Zhao Shou shook his head gently, an inexplicable anger welling up in his heart.

He understood that Yingjiang Country was blatantly extorting money. But at this moment, he must remain calm and not let his emotions affect the negotiation process.

"Mr. Lamere, we all know that the actual cost of the aircraft carrier arresting cable is far lower than the price you proposed."

Zhao Shou emphasized again, “I hope we can reconsider this price issue based on the principles of fairness and reasonableness.”

Ramil raised his eyebrows and glanced at the assistant Charlie beside him. Charlie nodded knowingly and then took out a more detailed cost analysis report and handed it to Zhao Shou.

"Mr. Zhao Shou, this is our cost analysis report. You can take a closer look. Our prices are completely reasonable."

Zhao Shou took the report and glanced at the data on it. The report details the raw material costs, processing costs, labor costs, R&D investment, testing costs, and patented technology royalties for the aircraft carrier arresting cables.

Although these expenses do add up to a lot of money, Zhao Shou still thinks that the price proposed by Yingjiang Country is too high.

"Mr. Ramil, although this report is detailed, it still cannot convince me." Zhao Shou gently put the document back on the table.

"I'm sure everyone here understands that this price is well beyond our budget. I hope we can find a mutually acceptable solution."

The negotiations continued, with the two sides going back and forth and quarreling with each other. The Eagle Sauce Country insisted that their prices were reasonable, and the two sides were in a stalemate.

At this moment, Xiao Wang, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke: "Mr. Ramil, since we have differences on price, can we consider other aspects of cooperation? Such as technology transfer or joint research and development, etc.?"

Ramil was slightly startled, obviously not expecting Xiao Wang to ask such a question.

He glanced at Binger beside him, and Binger shook his head knowingly, indicating that they had not considered cooperation in this area.

The atmosphere in the negotiation room was extremely tense, as if a war without gunpowder was about to break out.

Zhao Shou sat at the head of the Jiuzhou Kingdom negotiation team, his brows furrowed and his eyes revealing deep confusion and worry.

Ramil smiled slightly and seemed not surprised by Zhao Shou's reaction: "Mr. Zhao Shou, I understand your position. But please remember, there is no absolute fairness in this world."

"The price we proposed is based on our technology and market advantages. If you find it difficult to accept, then we can only express our regrets."

There was a trace of indignation in Zhao Shou's tone, "However, since you insist that this is a reasonable and fair price, then let me also propose a price that we think is reasonable and fair - fifteen million eagle coins per root."

As soon as Zhao Shou finished speaking, a burst of laughter broke out from the negotiating team of Yingjiang Country.

They seemed to think Zhao Shou's proposal was ridiculous, even a little ridiculous. Ramil also shook his head, with a mocking smile on his face.

"Mr. Zhao Shou, are you kidding?" Ramiel's tone contained a hint of contempt.

"Fifteen million eagle coins? This price can't even cover our costs, let alone R&D, testing, after-sales service and other expenses."

Zhao Shou was not swayed by the other party's ridicule, he still remained calm and firm.

There was a hint of firmness and undoubt in Zhao Shou's tone, "We understand the importance of the aircraft carrier arresting cable and its manufacturing cost. However, we must consider the country's budget and actual needs."

The air in the negotiation room seemed to be frozen, and the tension was breathless.

Zhao Shou sat at the head of the Jiuzhou Kingdom negotiation team, his brows furrowed, and his eyes revealed deep confusion and helplessness.

He glanced at the Yingjiang Country negotiation team opposite and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

At this moment, Xiao Wang suddenly received a mysterious message, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He looked down at the message content on the phone screen, then looked up at Zhao Shou, with an indescribable expression on his face.

"Mr. Zhao Shou, I received a mysterious message." Xiao Wang's voice was trembling, and it was obvious that this message was of great significance to him.

Zhao Shou was stunned for a moment, and his brows relaxed a little. He looked at Xiao Wang with a curious expression on his face: "What's the news? Tell me quickly."

Xiao Wang took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down: "The news claims that someone has an aircraft carrier blocking cable, and only needs two million eagle coins for one."

"What?!" Zhao Shou stood up suddenly, with an expression of disbelief on his face. He stared at Xiao Wang with wide eyes, as if he wanted to read something from his face.

Mr. Ramil, the negotiator of Eagle Sauce Country, sneered, his face full of ridicule and disdain.

"Hahaha, two million eagle coins? You people from the Kyushu Kingdom are too naive! This can't even cover a fraction of the cost, it must be a fraud!"

Zhao Shou's face became a little ugly. He glared at Ramiel, then turned to look at Xiao Wang: "Is this news reliable? Are you sure it's not a scam?"

Xiao Wang shook his head, with a bitter smile on his face: "I don't know if it's reliable, but I think we can give it a try." "Try it? What are you trying on? This is a major matter related to national interests. , How can it be a child's play!" Zhao Shou's tone became stern.

Xiao Wang was speechless by Zhao Shou's words. He lowered his head, his heart filled with frustration.

He knew that his proposal was indeed risky, but he was really unwilling to be led by the Eagle Country.

The negotiation room fell into silence again, and there was an indescribable sense of depression in the air.

Zhao Shou sat down, closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He knew that he could not be impulsive and must think calmly about countermeasures.

At this moment, Mr. Ramil, the negotiator of Eagle Sauce Country, broke the silence: "Mr. Zhao Shou, I think you should consider our proposal carefully. Twenty million Eagle coins per piece is the lowest we can accept." price.”

Zhao Shou opened his eyes and looked at Mr. Ramil, with a firm expression on his face.

"No need, Mr. Ramil. Although our Kyushu Nation needs aircraft carrier blocking cables, we also have our own bottom line and dignity. Twenty million eagle coins? You should keep it and spend it for yourself!"

After speaking, Zhao Shou stood up and was about to leave the negotiation room. Xiao Wang and other members of the negotiation team also stood up and followed him.

The negotiating team of Yingjiang Country looked at their leaving figures with proud smiles on their faces.

Mr. Ramil shrugged, with a disdainful smile on his face: "It's up to you, we have plenty of time anyway. But I want to remind you not to be blinded by some unrealistic fantasies."

Zhao Shou didn't say anything else. He stood up and motioned for the team members to leave with him.

He knew that there was no point in this negotiation anymore and they needed to go back and re-evaluate the entire situation and find other reliable suppliers as soon as possible.

Just when Zhao Shou and others were about to walk out of the negotiation room, Mr. Ramil suddenly stopped them again.

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Zhao Shou, if you really find an aircraft carrier blocking rope worth two million eagle coins, you might as well tell us. We would really like to see what kind of miracle this is."

Zhao Shou did not look back, but simply replied: "If we really find it, we will notify you as soon as possible." After saying that, he led his team members out of the negotiation room without looking back.

After returning to the hotel, Zhao Shou immediately called his team members for an emergency meeting.

In a conference room of the hotel, the negotiation team of Kyushu Kingdom sat around a long table, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

Zhao Shou sat at the head of the table, his brows furrowed, and his eyes scanned the faces of each team member.

He took a deep breath and tried to keep his voice calm: "What do you think of the news about this mysterious supplier?"

As soon as the words fell, a team member couldn't wait to speak.

"Mr. Zhao Shou, I think this is probably a trap. Yingjiang Kingdom has been secretly monitoring our actions, and they may have deliberately released this news to confuse us."

"I agree with this view." Another member echoed, "This price is too low and simply unreasonable. We cannot easily believe such information from unknown sources."

However, there are those who disagree. One of the younger team members hesitated, then mustered up the courage to speak.

"Although this news sounds a bit bizarre, I think we can try to contact this mysterious supplier. After all, we are in urgent need of aircraft carrier arresting ropes now, and the price offered by the Eagle Country is too high. If we can find other A reliable supplier, that would be a huge breakthrough.”

Zhao Shou listened to everyone's speech and weighed it secretly in his heart. He knew that this decision was very important and related to the future of Kyushu's aircraft carrier construction.

He pondered for a moment, and then said slowly: "I have heard everyone's opinions. Indeed, we cannot believe this news easily, but we cannot ignore it completely.

I decided to send a member to the dark web to make initial contact with this mysterious vendor to see if we could uncover more information. Xiao Wang, this task is left to you. "

Xiao Wang was stunned when he heard this, then straightened his back and nodded solemnly: "Yes, Mr. Zhao Shou! I will definitely handle this matter."

Zhao Shou nodded with satisfaction and then turned to the other team members.

"During this period, everyone cannot be idle. We must continue to study the technical parameters and market prices of the aircraft carrier arresting cables and be fully prepared for the subsequent negotiations."

Everyone responded in unison and expressed that they would go all out.

However, one afternoon passed, and Xiao Wang never received a reply or message from the mysterious supplier.

He sat anxiously in front of the computer, constantly refreshing the chat window on the dark web, but the other party never responded.

Xiao Wang couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. He was worried that he had missed some important information, or that the other party was simply a liar.

At this moment, Zhao Shou walked into the room. He glanced at Xiao Wang's anxious expression, and he already understood something about it.

He patted Xiao Wang on the shoulder and comforted: "Xiao Wang, don't worry. You can't rush this kind of thing. The other party may be considering our proposal, or there may be other things that delay the reply. Let's wait and see. ”

Xiao Wang nodded, feeling a little more settled. He knew that Zhao Shou was right, this kind of thing really couldn't be rushed.

He took a deep breath and decided to continue waiting for news from the mysterious supplier.

At the same time, he also secretly made up his mind that once he received a reply from the other party, he must handle the matter more carefully and never let Kyushu Country fall into greater difficulties.

At night, the sleepy Xiao Wang sat in front of the computer, and the screen in front of him reflected his tired and anxious face.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm down his emotions. At this moment, the chat window on the computer screen suddenly flashed, and a new message broke the tranquility of the air.

The mysterious supplier finally responded! Xiao Wang perked up and immediately clicked on the message.

The other party claimed to be Liu Shan, a name that sounded quite ordinary, but it caused waves in Xiao Wang's heart.

Xiao Wang began to have a conversation with "Liu Shan" on the dark web. He carefully probed the other party's details, feeling both nervous and expectant.
