France and Germany suffered the most losses in the war.
Needless to say, Germany would not be able to pay back the reparations until the 21st century.
Although France was a victorious country, the large number of orders they had hoarded could not be sold.
Stacking them in the warehouse would also be a loss.
Therefore, there was no need to be too conflicted when discussing business with them.
On the other hand, the British and American families were big.
If they wanted to scam people, they would definitely do it to the death.
However, when Rowe asked them to meet together, the situation was different.
In order to get this order, they would definitely try their best to lower the price.
This was naturally a great thing for Luo Wei.
As for the United Kingdom and the United States, they naturally knew that this was a fight between the snipe and the clam.
But did it matter?
It didn't matter.
It didn't matter if he could make money or not. The most important thing was to make his opponent unhappy.
"Mr. Taylor, Mr. Shulman.”
Luo Wei chuckled and said," Then, let's talk about the specific price.”
"Of course, my friend!"
Taylor's face lit up and he immediately said," I can give you a domestic quote. The price of a submarine and destroyer is 100,000 pounds, and the price of a cruiser is 200,000 pounds.”
Taylor had wanted to rip Rowe off.
However, with the Americans around, he did not dare to rip them off too much.
Otherwise, Shulman would definitely not hesitate to ruin the situation.
"Heh."
As expected, Shulman mocked Taylor mercilessly as soon as he opened his mouth." A battleship is only worth a million pounds, and you want to sell a few destroyer for the price of a battleship? Are you trying to scam Mr. Luo?”
Taylor's face darkened. Do you know how to do business?
Even if they wanted to tear down the platform, they shouldn't do it this way!
Do you know what business is?
Shulman ignored Taylor's gaze.
Doing business?
What business? I'm here to disgust you on purpose.
He actually saw it very clearly.
There was still a huge gap between America and England.
Whether it was military strength or political status, America was far inferior to England.
Therefore, he couldn't see the reason why Rowei chose America.
In other words, he was already certain that Rowei would choose the English team.
And even though he knew that, he still took the initiative to rush over and ask to compete with England.
He just didn't want English to enjoy this order too much!
Anyway, the US was destined to not make any money.
Since that was the case, it was even more uncomfortable to see others making money than to see them lose money.
Therefore, they had to think of ways to make England lose money.
Only then would there be balance.
"Mr. Luo."
Shulman had this thought in his heart and immediately said," We, the United States, can also make an offer. The destroyer and submarine only cost 350,000 US dollars, and the cruiser only costs 750,000 US dollars.”
"F * ck, why!"
Taylor glared at him. He really wanted to curse.
Was this American really here to cause trouble?
The English offered 100,000 pounds for a destroyer, while the Americans offered 70,000 pounds.
The English offered 200,000 pounds for a cruiser, while the Americans offered 150,000 pounds.
What the hell is wrong with you?
"Mr. Luo, what do you think?"
Taylor's angry gaze made Shulman feel extremely comfortable. He asked with a bright smile.
However, Lowi only shook his head.
"Are you still not satisfied?"
Shulman was stunned.
Although he was trying to make things difficult for Taylor, the price was actually quite generous.
"The two of you."
" As far as I know, a 17,000-ton Dreadnaught-class warship in England only costs 1.7 million pounds, and a 27,000-ton Queen Elizabeth class warship only costs 2.4 million pounds. As for the US,"
Lowi paused and looked at Shulman before continuing," A 27,000-ton texas-class battleship costs only 1.35 million pounds. The total budget for the six battleships being built by the US was only 16.5 million US dollars, and the unit price was only 550,000 pounds.”
Luo Wei was presenting facts and evidence to bargain.
However, when these words fell into Taylor and Shulman's ears, it made their scalps go numb.
There was only one thought left in their minds.
"How did he know?"
How did Rowei know?
Of course, he was asking Du Niang.
Since they were going to do business, they had to know the price in advance to avoid being scammed.
However, this was only for the future generations.
To the future generations, there were no secrets about the past.
However, for the people of this era, the series of data that Rowei had mentioned was a true national secret!
Some of them were even unknown to the two ambassadors!
This was especially true for the Lexington class battlecruiser that Rowe mentioned. That thing was still under construction!
The price that Rowei mentioned was the estimated construction cost of the US Navy!
It had never been announced to the world!
Even the defense ministers of the two countries might not know about these confidential data.
Even the finance minister might not know the exact cost.
However, Luo Wei was able to recite it like it was his family's treasure. What did this mean?
This meant that he had connections in the two governments!
Moreover, these people must be the higher-ups and core members of the two governments!
With that thought, the two of them looked at Rowei with horror.
He colluded with the higher-ups of the two governments and wanted to buy warships from them.
What was the conspiracy behind this?
Or rather, what did this mean?
"Mr. Rowe…"
Shulman felt his mouth go dry. He picked up the glass of water on the table and drank it in one gulp." How did you know?" he asked with difficulty.”
"You don't need to know how I know.”
Luo Wei glanced at him and said calmly," You just need to know that my data is real.”
Shulman smiled bitterly.
Real, of course it was real.
How could the information revealed by the internal personnel of the country not be true?
However, how could they negotiate business with the other party?
One had to know that even they themselves did not know the exact cost. The country only gave a rough estimate.
In the end, his opponent knew everything about this situation.
It was equivalent to him being an open card in front of the other party, with no secrets to speak of.
How was he supposed to play?
"I'll give you a price."
Rowe raised two fingers and said," A destroyer or submarine costs 30,000 pounds, and a cruiser costs 100,000 pounds. How about that?”
Taylor was silent.
Since the other party knew their situation clearly, it meant that the price they offered was reasonable.
However, he did not dare to agree easily.
He believed that it would be the same for Shulman. After all, if anything happened, they would have to bear the responsibility.
He definitely had to stall for time and ask for instructions from the higher-ups.
"Mr. Luo."
Shulman glanced at Taylor and suddenly said," We can accept this price.”
" Huh?!"
Taylor's eyes widened once again as he glared at him. Are you f * cking crazy?
