"I don't believe it! This was impossible! How can you afford it? You're lying to me, right?"
While the audience was still immersed in Luo Wei's big move, Xu Yongqiang could not accept it and questioned it sternly. However, his trembling body betrayed his heart.
This time, there was no need for Luo Wei to say anything.
"Are you an idiot? Even if Mr. Luo was acting, could Mr. Ambassador help him?”
"Why would a dignified ambassador need to put on an act with Mr. Luo just to lie to you?”
"Why don't you take a look at yourself in the mirror? Do you have a duplicate key? You can make a few."
"That one million pounds is real! One million! I heard that the invincible English warship only costs one million pounds, right?”
"What invincible warship? They call it a dreadnought!"
"Pretty much. You can even buy a Dreadnaught, so what's the big deal about buying a small fleet?”
"Easy for you to say! Even if the entire Huaxia Country had the power, there was probably no one else who could afford a fleet like Mr. Luo!”
"Throw him out."
Lu Yongxiang had already endured it to the extreme and directly said coldly.
Immediately, two soldiers stepped forward and dragged Xu Yongqiang, who kept shouting 'I don't believe it' as if he had lost his mind, out.
"Sorry, everyone."
Lu Yongxiang raised the wine glass in his hand with a smile." There was a small incident, but in order not to affect everyone's mood, let's not mention it again! Today, let us raise our glasses and drink together!”
Although Lu Yongxiang tried his best to appear calm, his trembling hands betrayed him.
A fleet!
Was this for real?
He, Lu Yongxiang, had already reached his limit by raising an army of tens of thousands of people. He had never thought that he would have a fleet one day.
After all, in today's world, a fleet was the symbol of a superpower.
Ever since China's defeat in the 1894 - 1895 naval battle, they could not even organize a decent small-scale fleet.
If this was true, then he would be the first person in China to own a fleet since the 1894 - 1895 period!
At that time, so what if others called him a warlord?
"Mr. Luo."
Taylor, the English ambassador, shook Rowei's hand enthusiastically." I think we need to talk about the fleet in detail.”
"Of course."
Luo Wei smiled and nodded.
This was a big business deal involving a million pounds. It was not something that could be done just by touching one's lips.
Now, they had only set the tone. The specific situation still needed to be discussed and analyzed in detail.
"Mr. Luo."
The American ambassador, Shulman, suddenly coughed and said seriously," Actually, if Mr. Luo wants to buy a warship, we are willing to help.”
"Shulman!"
Taylor immediately glared at him.
Is there anyone like you who steals business in front of others?
Ever since America became independent, he had never respected his father, England.
However, England was still the number one superpower in the world.
What right do you have to compete with me, Shulman?
Who gave you the courage?
Liang Jingru?
"Mr. Shulman, I think I will consider it.”
Luo Wei smiled but did not say anything. He neither agreed nor refused.
Because this was exactly what he wanted.
If there was only English as the seller, then the other party was very likely to demand an exorbitant price.
And if there was still a competitor like the US.
Only when both sides played a game with each other could Luo Wei reap the greatest benefits.
"I'm serious, Mr. Luo."
Shulman ignored Taylor's furious gaze and said solemnly," Although America is not as strong as England, America has a greater advantage compared to England-distance!”
"If Mr. Luo orders a warship from the United States, it will be delivered within 20 days.”
"But if it was England, the time would be at least doubled.”
"I will consider it seriously, Mr. Shulman.”
Luo Wei looked at him deeply and spoke slowly.
Shulman deliberately mentioned the time, but it wasn't just about the warship, but about all aspects.
In terms of the production cost of weapons, there was not much difference between the two.
However, the longer the distance, the higher the cost.
If they could establish a good cooperative relationship with the United States, it would definitely be more cost-effective to buy things from the United States than from England.
It was not just England.
The advantage of the US in this aspect was unmatched.
Therefore, even if the cooperation this time could not be negotiated.
However, they would definitely have more opportunities to work together in the future.
At that time, Luo Wei would choose America first because of this 'little reminder.'
"Mr. Luo."
Taylor didn't want to appear too rude, so he restrained the hostility in his heart and said slowly," I think, do we still need to continue the topic from before?”
"Of course."
Rowe smiled and nodded. Then, he looked at the American ambassador." Mr. Shulman, if you don't mind, I'll come to talk to you about another collaboration after I'm done talking to Mr. Taylor.”
"Oh, of course, my friend."
Shulman shrugged and made way." I'll wait for you here."”
"Thank you."
Lowi chuckled and left with Taylor.
"Send someone to send a message to the country."
As soon as Rowe and Taylor left, Shulman narrowed his eyes and whispered to his wife," Report everything that happened to them.”
He was a big spender who could spend millions of pounds at once.
Even if he hadn't done anything, it was enough to shock everyone.
Although they did not know if the one million pounds was real or fake, it was enough to attract the attention of all countries.
If it was real money, then this was a genuine financial backer.
If it was counterfeit, then all the countries would do whatever it took to get it.
This meant that Rowe had the template to mass produce counterfeit banknotes.
It was enough to cause the entire economic system of England to collapse, and it was also enough to make any other country covet it.
"Mr. Luo."
Taylor and Rowe came to an empty room, and Taylor said impatiently," If you don't mind, can you let me see those bills?”
"Of course."
Rowei smiled as he placed the box on the table.
Taylor was the first to step forward to appraise it.
In the end, he received an unbelievable answer.
These pounds were all real notes without exception!
"This is really too shocking."
Taylor said incoherently," I've never seen so much cash in my life. Mr. Luo, what's your family background?”
"In fact,"
Luo Wei chuckled." I earned all of this with my own abilities.”
"Okay, whatever you say."
Taylor shrugged and didn't comment.
Although he didn't believe it, there was no need to get into a conflict with Rowei over such a small matter.
No matter what era it was, the rich would always be the boss.
