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

Getting Jiang Chuan's response at least means that there is hope for the cooperation to move forward.

Therefore, the leader of Guyue State immediately issued an order and sent people to the military factory to contact and investigate.

The prerequisite for cooperation is naturally that the military factory actually possesses all the qualifications and capabilities required for cooperation.

Therefore, in the email, the Gu Yue official requested an interview.

Jiang Chuan naturally would not refuse such an opportunity. After a brief email exchange, the two sides quickly reached an agreement and decided to have a face-to-face interview the next morning.

The leader responded quickly and decided to send military representative General Fu Shan to the military factory for negotiations.

Currently, Guyue Country is facing serious threats from chaotic forces in various places.

Once they are able to obtain new sources of weapons, it will play a vital role in helping them balance and stabilize the current chaotic situation.

Therefore, after the meeting, all parties immediately began intensive preparations.

The next day, at dawn, the military representative Fu Shan set off.

In order to fully express the sincerity of Gu Yue State, the government also specially dispatched Deputy Minister of Municipal Affairs Buckley as the official representative to go with Fu Shan.

Under the close protection of a team of armed soldiers, representatives from both the military and political parties officially set off for the military factory.

Compared with the official grand lineup, Jiangchuan seemed relatively casual.

All work in the factory is proceeding as usual, and Zhen Dong is still staying on the assembly line to supervise the work.

The only difference is that all members of the Ghost Team are already standing by the gate, ready for battle.

Since Jiangchuan was not sure of the official's true intentions at this time, he chose to remain vigilant in case of emergency.

As the official representative's vehicle slowly came into view, Jiang Chuan also calmly came to the door to greet them.

Buckley and Fu Shan got out of the car and walked straight to Jiangchuan.

Their first reaction after seeing Jiang Chuan was surprise at his youth. They didn't expect that the boss of this military-industrial enterprise was so young.

Jiangchuan also greeted them politely, and then the three of them came to Jiangchuan's office together.

Barkley went straight to the point and said, "Mr. Jiangchuan, we are representatives sent by the official. This time we come to visit, hoping to cooperate with your military factory." He used the Gu Yue language, which, although similar to the language of the Great Shang Kingdom, was still obviously different.

Jiang Chuan smiled and responded, "I've already said this in yesterday's email. It doesn't really matter whether we meet or not. If you want to cooperate, just pay the money and you'll get what you want." His words revealed confidence and composure.

Fu Shan, who was wearing a military uniform, was more direct and frank. He said, "If we want to establish cooperation, we first need to confirm whether your factory has such strength. Therefore, this visit is also to see in person how much foundation your factory has."

His words revealed his emphasis on strength.

Buckley was obviously not used to Fu Shan's bold and straightforward style.

He was more comfortable with the official style of doing things and seemed a little uncomfortable with this direct way of expression.

However, Jiangchuan was not surprised by Fu Shan's purpose.

He had already figured out the real purpose of the Guyue Kingdom's military and political parties sending people here from these few sentences - they just wanted to see whether there was a need for cooperation with this military factory.

Looking at Jiangchuan, Buckley smiled and asked, "Mr. Jiangchuan, there is something I hope to get your accurate response to. Did you provide the weapons of the Langma Group of Shenglan Country?" His eyes revealed a kind of expectation and inquiry.

Jiang Chuan nodded without hesitation and replied, "Yes, it was provided by my factory. Any problem?" His tone revealed confidence and calmness.

There was a hint of surprise in Barkley's eyes, and he continued: "As far as we know, the weapons obtained by the Langma Group have powerful firepower. It was precisely because of this batch of weapons that the Shenglan Alliance Army suffered a disastrous defeat. I would like to confirm, are these weapons all independently produced by your factory?" His words revealed doubts about the strength of the Jiangchuan factory.

After hearing this, Jiang Chuan had roughly understood the other party's intention.

He said calmly: "Of course, those weapons were manufactured and provided by my factory. You don't need to question the strength of the factory. If the money of Langma Group was in place at that time, it would not be difficult to destroy the entire alliance army of Shenglan Country. Unfortunately, they did not pay the price."

His tone was very calm, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

However, these words made Fu Shan and Barkley look at each other in surprise.

Naturally, they didn't believe Jiang Chuan's big talk.

After all, no matter how powerful a military factory is, it is impossible for it to say such things easily, right?

What's more, Jiangchuan's factory has only been established for a short time.

Fu Shan's face suddenly turned ugly. It was obvious that he had regarded Jiang Chuan as a person who could only talk big and was not reliable at all.

Barkley's face looked quite embarrassed at the moment. He knew very well that if he went back like this, he would not be able to explain to the top management.

Jiang Chuan's words just now filled the hearts of both of them with doubts, but from his words, they vaguely felt that Jiang Chuan did not seem to be a reliable person.

Fu Shan was a soldier with a straightforward personality. At this time, he had already determined that Jiang Chuan was a boastful and unreliable person.

Therefore, he stood up and walked out without caring about his face.

However, as a veteran in the official high-level of Guyue Country, Barkley was well aware of the importance of this trip.

He understood that if he could not reach a cooperation, it would be difficult for him to face the questioning from senior management when he returned.

After all, the top management has great interest in this cooperation.

Buckley then forced a smile and explained, "I'm really sorry, Colonel Fu Shan is very straightforward, please forgive me. I wonder if you can show me around the factory?"

Jiang Chuan had no expression on his face, he just nodded slightly: "Please follow me."

On the other side, Fu Shan left the factory and returned to the car.

However, as soon as he got into the car, he felt several unfriendly glances.

He looked up and found that members of the Ghost Squad were standing at the door, staring at this side with cold eyes.

He was very familiar with this kind of look. Only those who had experienced life and death could have it.

A seemingly ordinary small factory actually hides such a powerful security force.

Who are they?

Mercenaries? Under these gazes, Fu Shan also felt a little uncomfortable.

He looked away, but the doubt remained in his mind.

The soldiers who had followed but had not entered the factory saw Fu Shan coming back and immediately asked, "Sir, are we going back now?"

Fu Shan hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's wait a little longer. Let's go back together after Barkley comes out. If we go back alone, many things will be difficult to explain."

It is not difficult to see from Fu Shan’s reaction that although the military and political parties of Guyue Kingdom are harmonious on the surface, in fact they each have their own ulterior motives.

They did not really reach a consensus on cooperation, but were just completing the tasks assigned by their leaders.

At the same time, inside the factory, Jiang Chuan was taking Buckley to visit the entire factory.

The factory does not occupy a large area, and the number of staff and technicians is not outstanding.

Therefore, although Buckley did not show it on his face, he had already made a judgment about the factory in his heart.

This small factory should be just a third-rate place.

It seems necessary to go back and re-investigate how such an important matter as the source of Langma Group's weapons was traced to such a third-rate small factory.

Barkley was thinking in his mind and didn't even have the desire to continue the tour.

Before entering the gun manufacturing workshop, he found an excuse to stop the tour.

"Mr. Jiang Chuan, although I would like to visit the entire factory, I have urgent matters to attend to and cannot stay for long. I will report everything today truthfully when I go back and look forward to cooperating with your factory."

Jiang Chuan could naturally tell that the official rhetoric lacked practical significance, but he didn't care because he had never intended to cooperate with the Guyue Kingdom from the beginning.

After watching Buckley leave the factory, Jiangchuan waved his hand, and the Ghost Squad members immediately returned to the factory and closed the door.

Buckley went to the side and called the Secretary General to report the situation: "Secretary General, I have taken a comprehensive look at this factory." The Secretary General's voice came from the phone: "How is it? What's the result?"

Buckley snorted coldly and said, "I think there might be something wrong with our intelligence system. How could they lock the huge firepower support of the Langma Group on such a small factory? The owner of this factory is Jiang Chuan, who is just a boastful young man. The factory is small and has few employees. He can't provide huge weapons support at all."

However, after Buckley said this, the secretary general on the phone remained silent.

As an official veteran, Barkley immediately understood that the Secretary-General seemed to have other ideas, so he asked cautiously: "Mr. Secretary-General, what do you think of this matter?"

The secretary-general's voice came slowly over the phone: "What does military representative Fu Shan think?"

Upon hearing this, Buckley said with even more disdain: "The military is not suitable to get involved in this kind of thing. He didn't even have the demeanor of a representative. He went straight back to the car and didn't even visit the factory."

"You didn't even visit the factory?" The Secretary General thought for a moment and said meaningfully, "Don't report truthfully when you report to your superiors." Upon hearing this, Barkley suddenly became serious. He had understood the Secretary General's thoughts.

"Mr. Secretary General, do you mean to facilitate this cooperation?" Buckley asked.

"That's right. Not only do we need to facilitate this cooperation, but we also need to lower the price from the military factory as much as possible and report it twice as high when we report it." The Secretary-General replied.

Buckley immediately laughed: "Don't worry, Mr. Secretary General, I understand what you mean."

After hanging up the phone, he returned to the car inconspicuously and signaled the driver to drive away.

He had understood the Secretary-General's intentions, and this was not uncommon among senior officials.

All the top leaders hope to be involved in the affairs of the military factories because there is profit to be made.

For small factories like this, it is easier to lower the price and make a considerable amount of money without anyone noticing.

As for quality and the like, they don't consider it since it will be used by the military anyway.

After the two returned to the official building, the meeting began immediately and the results they brought back were reported one by one.

Fu Shan expressed his views bluntly:

"I advocate canceling this cooperation. Jiang Chuan is really unreliable. He even claimed that he could destroy the entire Shenglan Alliance as long as the price was right. Such arrogant remarks are too dangerous, and it fully shows that cooperating with this person will bring us huge risks. In addition, I suggest re-investigating the source of Langma Group's weapons to see if there were any problems during this period that led us to mistakenly believe that Jiang Chuan's factory was the source of the weapons."

Fu Shan expressed his views frankly and believed that Buckley would hold the same view.

However, he did not notice the subtle eye contact between Barkley and the Secretary General.

Then, Barkley looked at Fu Shan and questioned doubtfully:
"Colonel Fu Shan, your remarks seem a bit irresponsible, don't they?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Shan widened his eyes in surprise:
"what do you mean?"

Barkley turned to look at the leader and said slowly:

"Mr. President, things are not as Colonel Fu Shan said. I don't understand why Colonel Fu Shan is so hostile to Jiang Chuan, or is he deliberately obstructing this cooperation? Colonel Fu Shan did not fully visit the military factory and lacked a deep understanding of the factory's strength. Instead, he went straight back to the car and waited. Now he made such remarks again, and I can't help but doubt his motives for these words."

After hearing this, the leader looked at Fu Shan in confusion and asked:
"Buckley, what are the results of your investigation?"

Barkley stood up, straightened his suit, and answered firmly:
"My view is completely opposite to that of Colonel Fu Shan. I think this factory has the conditions for cooperation. Although the factory is small, it has complete facilities and many excellent technicians for weapons research and development. At the same time, Mr. Jiang Chuan has clearly expressed his willingness to cooperate with the government."

"Barkley! You..."

Fu Shan was stunned. He looked at Barkley in confusion, not understanding why he came to such a conclusion. But Barkley ignored Fu Shan's gaze and continued firmly:

"Perhaps the military does not have sufficient experience in this area, which led to Colonel Fu Shan's wrong judgment. Based on my detailed investigation results, I strongly agree with this cooperation!"

Fu Shan was stunned. He couldn't understand why Barkley came to such a conclusion. The facts he saw were completely opposite to what Barkley said.

The leader also frowned slightly at this time, and the representatives of the military and political parties came to completely opposite conclusions.

However, as Buckley said, the leaders believed that the military was indeed inexperienced in dealing with such matters and therefore did not give much consideration to Fu Shan's views.

"Your Excellency, the Leader..."

Fu Shan wanted to explain something, but the leader had obviously lost his patience.

"Okay, since this is the result, let's continue the cooperation with Jiangchuan."

A sly look flashed across Barkley and the secretary general's faces. Their goal had been achieved. They would gain considerable benefits from this transaction. (End of this chapter)
