Chapter 340: Chapter 228: This is Too Awesome! (5000-word Chapter)_2

Yu Qin still appeared confident and nodded, "Of course I know."

"Your price is hard to accept," said Leo, his expression somewhat cold and candid.

"Expensive has its reasons," Yu Qin replied with a slight smile. "Mr. Leo, as you know, the arms business is tough these days. We've put a lot of effort into developing the Remote Box-type Rocket Launcher, taking five years to complete. Of course, our Rocket Launcher isn't just 50 kilometers more in range than the HIMARS M142—it's more powerful and more precise in striking."

Leo was silent.

He stared at the wine glass in his hand, the soft light casting seductive gleams on the red wine, and he really wanted to drink it.

But the wine was too expensive.

Just like Yu Qin's Remote Box-type Rocket Launcher.

The Hass Armed Forces urgently needed to acquire more advanced Rocket Launchers to gain stronger military striking capabilities—a range of 350 kilometers with stronger and more precise firepower was undoubtedly their top choice.

But ten million US dollars was beyond his expectation.

That was just the price of the Rocket Launcher.

Additionally, if taking HIMARS M142 as an example, one rocket costs 180,000, then the ones sold by Yu Qin would cost at least 250,000, even 300,000.

There's also wear and tear, replacement parts, and other miscellaneous charges.

Overall, it was bound to cost 20 million US dollars.

They had originally planned to purchase three sets; that would be 60 million US dollars, far exceeding their budget.

"Mr. Leo, what do you think?" asked Yu Qin, her face still wearing a thin smile, seeming to control the negotiation

Yes, this was her domain.

In arms trade negotiations, she always held the absolute initiative.

"There's really no room for negotiation on the price?" Leo took a deep breath before asking.

Yu Qin shook her head gently, "Mr. Leo, you jest. We've been partners and old friends for many years. The prices I give you are always the most favorable."

Yes, a regular customer.

But the regular still needed to be fleeced!

Business is business, charging a familiar face is only reasonable.

Leo and Yu Qin looked at each other for a long time before Leo finally chuckled, "Yu, we need to carefully consider this cooperation."

He was not just talking about the Rocket Launcher but also about the heavy weapons mentioned earlier.

Yu Qin seemed to have expected this outcome and smiled, "I'm always here waiting for your call, Mr. Leo."

"Goodbye."

Leo stood up, left the negotiating table, and walked out of the conference room.

Without looking back.

His two personal bodyguards followed closely behind.

Bang!

The conference room door was tightly closed.

To the side.

Yu Qin's assistant couldn't help but ask, "Could Mr. Leo have been scared off by our price?"

"Of course."

Yu Qin answered casually.

"Then why did you still..." The assistant wanted to say more but hesitated and dared not ask further.

A sly smile tugged at the corner of Yu Qin's mouth, "You're inexperienced in negotiations. I've already investigated their situation. The Haas Armed Forces urgently need a batch of Rocket Launchers, so they will come back."

"Don't others have them?" the assistant asked.

Yu Qin, with an air of superiority, patted the assistant on the shoulder, "For some reasons, they can't obtain the HIMARS M142 and want a more advanced Rocket Launcher than the HIMARS; only we have it here."

The assistant suddenly realized but still worried, "What if the price is too high for them to afford?"

"When they realize that only I can provide cutting-edge Rocket Launchers, and come back to me, I'll magnanimously lower the price by one to two million, and they'll instantly accept it," Yu Qin replied, then she took a gentle sip of her wine.

Her initial price point started at eight million US dollars.

Even if priced at eight million US dollars, it would still be unacceptable for the Haas Armed Forces. It's better to scare them with a ten million price tag and then lower the price, which makes negotiations much easier.

"Brilliant!" The assistant admired with awe.

Yu Qin confidently proceeded, then added, "Have the blueprints been sent to Keke?"

The blueprints she referred to were of the Remote Box-type Rocket Launcher developed by Sania, sent to Yu Keke through special channels to save her life.

The assistant immediately nodded, "It's all arranged. As soon as Miss Keke's application is approved, she'll be moved to parole and then we can work on changing it to life imprisonment."

"You've done well," Yu Qin nodded her approval.

Then she left the conference room to continue reading her novel.

...

When Leo walked out of the clubhouse, he wore a grim expression and cursed, "Fuck, ten million US dollars, Morgan Group really dares to open its mouth wide!"

"Boss, what do we do now?" asked a staff officer who was accompanying him.

"What else can we do, we find the next one!" Leo said with a chill in his tone.

It's true that the Hass Armed Forces had longstanding arms deals with the Morgan Group, but over the years, there was very little bargaining room with some of Morgan Group's weapons.

There are just a few arms dealers that can supply Rocket Launchers," the staff officer sighed.

Ah— Explore more at M V L

Leo felt resigned, looking up at the sky.

The sky had darkened, with scattered points of light across it; tonight the moon was not on duty, and the air still retained the warmth of the day, making it feel hot.

The few other arms suppliers had received certain directives and refused to provide them with advanced weaponry.

"Do we really have to be fleeced by Morgan Group?"

Leo was not willing to accept this.

His task was to purchase advanced weapon systems, and the Rocket Launcher was crucial to them.

The stance Morgan Group took today clearly meant they were aiming to fleece them heavily.
