Chapter 359 - Chapter 359: Chapter 237 Who the Hell Did I Offend? (Seeking Subscriptions) (2/2)

Beep—

“Miss Yu, goodbye.” Yu Qin didn’t respond, and Leo chose to hang up the phone.

Inside the office.

Yu Qin fell silent, her expression darkened completely.

Lucas still had his eyebrows tightly knitted, “Yu, how did the negotiation go?”

Yu Qin’s voice was hushed, “He quoted four million.”

“Four million, is that the total fee for the new weapons training, maintenance, and service?” Lucas keenly sensed that there was something special about this figure.

This price was indeed too low for new weapons training, maintenance, and service.

Wouldn’t it be at least five million?

Yu Qin shook her head, “No, Leo wanted to purchase a ‘Remote Box-type Rocket Launcher’ for four million US dollars.”

Lucas’s reaction was the same as Yu Qin’s moments ago, his eyes widened like bells, his voice raised several notches, “Is he crazy?”

The vast office was empty.

Lucas’s voice echoed and dissipated within it.

The nightscape outside deepened.

The night sky, profound with dimming starlight, occasionally broke with the chirping of autumn night insects, quickly overshadowed by the passing roars of night riders speeding by.

Silent, yet noisy.

Lucas stopped pacing and stood still, his large shadow elongated under the office lights.

Yu Qin’s hands rested on her forehead, elbows propped on the table.

Then, her fingers entwined in her slightly curled hair in frustration, she pulled them out, clenched her right hand into a fist, and thumped it on the table, producing a muffled ‘thump.’

Keke’s ‘death sentence to life imprisonment’ appeal was rejected, suddenly the arms deal with Haas Armed Forces fell through.

A restless sense of helplessness spread over her.

It spread swiftly.

In just a minute or two, it had woven a net over her heart, suffocating her.

Lucas stopped his steps, turned, and said, “Yu, calm down a bit; maybe this is Leo’s negotiation strategy?”

Yu Qin shook her head slightly, “I can tell, he’s truly confident, he’s not pretending.”

Lucas crossed his left arm, propped his right hand under his chin, and pondered, “So, they really found a new supplier of military weapons?”

“It’s not out of the question!”

Yu Qin was reluctant to admit it.

But now, there was no doubt this ‘possibility’ was highly probable.

“You just mentioned Lockheed, Raytheon, Grumman… these companies couldn’t possibly supply them with weapons. Sukhoi, Grumman, Finmeccanica would quote even higher. Does Haas Armed Forces have someone else to choose from?”

Now, Lucas was much calmer than Yu Qin.

“I’m not sure.”

Yu Qin felt defeated.

Having dealt with arms trades for so many years, weathering many storms, and experiencing all sorts of emergencies, still, she felt afflicted.
