"That's how it is."

Leo pretended to be troubled, but in reality, he was elated, "Is it still the price of 10 million US Dollars?"

"Leo, we've been partners for many years, and I know that the Haas Armed Forces have been going through tough times recently. Even when customers were clamoring for our products, I couldn't bring myself to give it to them first. So, I wanted to consult with you guys first. As for the price, can we talk about it a bit more?"

Yu Qin was an old hand at business negotiations.

In her speech, she effortlessly took the initiative into her own hands.

— At least, in her view, that was the case.

"Yu, I appreciate your kindness."

Leo said with a smile, "As for the price, what kind of discount can you offer?"

"Shall we set a time to meet and discuss?"

Yu Qin asked tentatively.

This was a routine part of the negotiation process, but to her surprise, Leo outright refused, "Sorry, Yu, I have an emergency right now and can't meet with you to discuss this collaboration in person. Could we first talk about the price over the phone?"

Yu Qin's expression faltered—she hadn't expected to be rejected, "Over the phone, it's not as convenient as in person."

"No matter, it's a bit of a hassle, but at least we can still talk."

On the other end of the phone, Leo spoke with a smile lacing his words.

Yu Qin looked up, her gaze meeting Lu's across from her, but he was unable to offer her any help.

With gritted teeth, she conceded, "Alright then, since you have an emergency, let's talk about the price over the phone for now."

Through this conversation, Yu Qin sharply realized that she might have lost the initiative and fallen at a disadvantage.

This was a big taboo in negotiation.

But the exact reason, she couldn't fathom.

"The price is too high; we can't afford it," Leo's straightforward voice came through the phone.

Yu Qin pursed her lips and said, "Leo, we invested a lot of money and time developing this 'Remote Box-type Rocket Launcher.' The cost was huge, and the price is already very favorable. However, to give benefits to a long-standing customer, I'll make the biggest concession. Lowering it by one million, just 9 million US Dollars, what do you think?"

On the other side,

Leo chuckled.

He had been in Anling for several days, and aside from negotiating the partnership, he spent his spare time watching online live streams, including some that featured sales.

Suddenly, he realized that Yu's pitch was very much like that of those live stream sales.

If she were to add "my dear friends," it would be the icing on the cake.

"9 million is still too expensive!" Leo replied without hesitation.

"Leo, it might be expensive, but its only flaw is its price. I believe that once you buy it, it will be unrivaled," Yu insisted.

"Can it be lowered further?" Leo asked.

Yu took a deep breath, clearly struggling, "8.5 million!"

"8.5 million..."

Leo pondered, "Can't it be lowered any further?"

"Mr. Leo, do you really have the intention to buy?" Yu asked seriously.

"Of course."

"Then, a flat rate, 8 million!" Yu lowered the price again. Compared to 10 million US Dollars, she had already dropped 2 million, believing she had shown enough sincerity.

This was also her estimated bargain price.

"The situation of Haas Armed Forces, you are well aware of it. We truly cannot bear this price. This collaboration of ours..."

Leo didn't finish, but his meaning was clear.

Yu's eyes widened in surprise, her face showing deep confusion. By that logic, did Haas no longer need weapons?

War wasn't like life; you can't just throw in the towel!

Or was it that Haas had genuinely found a second weapons supplier?

In a short amount of time, Yu couldn't think too much.

After a brief silence, not wanting to lose this order from Haas, Yu bit her lip, "Mr. Leo, how about this, you name a price, and I'll see if I can talk with headquarters."

8 million was indeed a bit pricey.

The market price for the 'Remote Box-type Rocket Launcher' should be between 7 and 7.5 million US Dollars; if Leo's offer fell within this range, she could accept it.

Then, she could recoup some profit elsewhere.

In short, they wouldn't be at loss, just earning slightly less.

"May I state my ideal price?"

Leo raised his eyebrow, asking.

"Of course," Yu responded, "Mr. Leo, please speak freely."

"Well, my ideal price is 4 million."

Leo threw out a bold and crazy price!

Upon hearing it, Yu's eyes nearly popped out, and she stood there, stunned, "Are you out of your mind?"
