Don't want it anymore?
Secretary Xiao was a little confused." Bureau Chief, this…the emissary from the Northern Bear Country has been waiting for almost a month.”
"Is it not good…"
General Sun snorted coldly.
"What's not good about it? Wasn't it enough to spend money to treat them to food, drink, and play here?”
"Chief, we stood up the Northern Bear Country this time. It won't be easy to negotiate next time. What if they ask for an exorbitant price in the future…"
Before Secretary Xiao could finish, General Sun quickly waved his hand.
"You don't have to care about this matter. Do as I say.”
Secretary Xiao was still in a daze when he walked out of the office.
The military supplies purchase plan was ruined.
Most importantly, he had met the messenger from the Northern Bear Nation yesterday. The other party had urged him to speed up the progress, and they were in a hurry to return.
A month ago, after the general direction of the cooperation was finalized, Secretary Xiao thought that it would be as smooth as the previous few times.
Who knew that it would be delayed again and again. The messenger from the Northern Bear Nation had been urging him once every three to five days in the beginning, but now, he was urging him almost every day.
Secretary Xiao couldn't figure out what had happened.
Back then, he was the one who was sent to negotiate the purchase plan. Now, he was the one who was going to discuss the cancel of the purchase plan.
"Sigh."
Secretary Xiao went straight to the guest house.
In the guest house.
Two burly men from Northern Bear Country stood by the window, drinking whiskey and looking down at the pedestrians.
"Bazaar, what do you think the higher-ups of the Dragon Country are thinking? They arranged for us to stay here and provide us with food, accommodation, and drinks, but they're dragging it out.”
"It's not bad to drag it out. If it weren't for the higher-ups urging me, I would have been eager to enjoy life here. Once the contract is signed, our days won't be as happy when we go back.”
"However, I heard that their military supplies application has been blocked. I don't know what's going on.”
"That's good. We can play for a few more days. We don't have to spend money anyway. Moreover, the Dragon Country was definitely in dire need of this batch of armaments. The situation of the Dragon Country's navy is not good now. It won't be able to hold on for a few days. We have to be prepared to go back at any time.”
As he spoke, Bazaha suddenly noticed Secretary Xiao's figure shuttling past downstairs.
"Secretary Xiao is here. He looks like he's in a hurry.”
After a while, Secretary Xiao pushed the door open and walked in.
Bazaar smiled as he walked over.
"There's an old saying in Dragon Country…Right, speak of the devil! Secretary Xiao, we were just talking about you.”
Secretary Xiao squeezed out a smile and shook hands with Bazaha.
"Secretary Xiao, did the higher-ups approve of you looking for us in such a hurry?”
"Looks like our happy times are over. Next time we work together, we'll still acknowledge you as Secretary Xiao!”
As the two of them spoke, they looked at Secretary Xiao, indicating that he could take out the contract.
The military expenditure was allocated, and once the contract was signed, 80% of the deposit would be collected first. The remaining 20% would be paid on delivery.
This was an old rule.
"I'm really sorry." Secretary Xiao smiled and said,"The higher-ups won't approve the military expenditure."”
Bazaar and Bazaar looked at each other, thinking that Secretary Xiao was joking.
"Secretary Xiao, I know you don't want us to leave, but this kind of joke isn't funny.”
"Mr. Bazaar, I'm not joking with you. The higher-ups did not approve of military spending. Therefore, our purchasing cooperation this time ends here.”
"Are you really not going to approve it?"
"Yes, I am. I came to inform you as soon as I received the news. I'm really sorry to have delayed you two for so long.”
Secretary Xiao said directly.
"To express our apology, the two of you can stay in the Dragon Country for a few more days. We'll pay for all the expenses.”
After chatting for a while, Secretary Xiao stood up and left.
Even after Secretary Xiao left, Bazaar and the other two still hadn't recovered from their shock.
"Bazaar, what do you think? Could this be the Dragon Country's plan? Do you think our asking price is too high? You want to bargain?"
Bazaar frowned. He felt that this was very likely.
"Everyone can see the situation of the Dragon Country's navy. They should be playing hard to get! Let's just waste time with him. They're the ones who want to buy, not us!”
After making the decision, the two of them felt relieved.
For three consecutive days, they did not even see Secretary Xiao.
This time, the two of them began to panic.
"What is the Dragon Country doing? This playing hard to get was a little too much.”
"Wait another two days. The Dragon Country should be more anxious than us!"
Another two days passed.
The two of them could not sit still anymore.
Secretary Xiao sent people to entertain them with good food and drinks. He had no intention of meeting them face-to-face.
After the two of them reported the situation, the higher-ups informed them that if necessary, the price could be reduced.
With the approval of the higher-ups, Bazaha quickly called Secretary Xiao over.
"I'm really sorry. I've been a little busy recently and haven't been able to take care of the two of you."”
"Secretary Xiao, have a seat."
Bazaar pulled Secretary Xiao to sit down and said.
"Secretary Xiao, let's not beat around the bush. I know you guys are playing hard to get. I also took into account your actual situation and reported it to the higher-ups. With my efforts, I can reduce the purchase price of 250 million by 3%!”
"Mr. Bazaar, it's not about the price. We don't want it.”
"I've saved you 7.5 million in one go! Isn't that enough?"
Bazaar's expression turned stiff, and he was a little unhappy.
That was 7.5 million, enough to buy a missile.
He felt that Secretary Xiao was a little greedy.
"How about this, I'll make the decision and give you another 2%! There's really no way to discuss any more."
"Mr. Bazaar, it's not about the money. We really don't want it anymore." Secretary Xiao emphasized again.”
"You don't want it anymore? How could you not want it? Why not? The Japanese 88th Squadron will be going to sea next year. What will you use to cover it?”
Bazaar asked a series of questions.
He could not figure it out.
Surrounded by enemies, one more frigate meant more confidence! Not to mention a second-generation ship.
Secretary Xiao didn't want to dwell on this issue. Instead, he found an excuse to leave.
In fact, he did not know the inside story.
Another emissary was furious and cursed,"As stingy as Grandet!"
"It doesn't seem to be a matter of price," Bazaar thought for a moment. There must be some inside story that we don't know about.”
Then, he contacted his superiors.
In the end, the higher-ups were just as confused as they were.
Everyone knew the strength of the Dragon Country's navy.
At this critical moment, he actually didn't need a frigate.
No one could figure it out.
After the analysis of the North Bear Country's think tank, they came to a shocking conclusion.
Free Country had stolen their orders!
