Chapter 546 - Mutual Interests (1/2)
Philip wasn’t actually co of Xia Lei’s words The orders he had received were clear — get Annina back to Germany this time, by hook or by crook The reason was siet Annina back to Germany than to leave her in China
Annina seeht, Mr Philip I was only in charge of the y It is useless for you to take o back”
Philip scoffed “Miss Annina, it seeo back to Ger to, or not Even if Gerainst you, you still have to talk and explain all that had happened to you”
“I…” Annina could not speak
Xia Lei spoke up then “Mr Philip, I believe that all business things can be negotiated You have just Annina for a bargaining chip in your hand, but I have what you want My chips are the production technologies of the XL2500 sniper rifle, and the Gust assault rifle I think if our two sides sat down and talked about it, ould surely be able to reach a satisfactory outcome for us both What do you say?”
“We can talk about anything How about this — you state your conditions,” said Philip
“I’d like to be clear about so before I talk,” said Xia Lei
“What is it?”
“I’d like to ask, Mr Philip, if you are fully responsible for this matter, or is it soe, of course”
“Are you sure?”
“Hey!” Philip was getting annoyed “Mr Xia, do you think me unfit to be an ambassador?”
“No, no, no, I definitely did not ise if my words have made you uncomfortable”
“There’s no need for that!”
“What you want is the production technology of the XL2500 and the Gust rifles This is very important to our country However, we are not like you Westerners, who put a technology blockade on us We are willing to share the production technology of the XL2500 and Gust rifles, but youthat is similarly beneficial for us,” said Xia Lei
“What do you have in mind?” asked Philip tentatively
Xia Lei shter Typhoon engine, for exahed all of a sudden
Xia Lei did not speak He watched Philip laugh
Philip said scornfully, “You sure are bold to ask for such things, Mr Xia You want to exchange light weapons’ y for Gerhter Typhoon engine technology? Don’t you think you’re being naive, and ridiculously so?”
Xia Lei had a smile on his face He was not perturbed by this mockery
“Mr Xia, you asked if our ae of this matter I, too, would like to ask what role you have in this latter? Do you have full responsibility for what you said?” said Alida
“I’ve had the authorisation long ago,” said Xia Lei
He had indeed been authorised by Ling Han Ling Han’s status was very special, and it was enough to have his authorisation Furtherer benefit out of the exchange, and he was bold enough to act first, and report later
“It is not possible, even if you have the authorisation,” said Philip “Mr Xia, your conditions for this exchange are too much We just want to take Annina back with us; this is our aieous deal with you”
“Disadvantageous? Heh heh heh” Xia Lei laughed too
“What are you laughing about? You want to have the technology for the Leopard 2 tank, and the Eurofighter Typhoon engine How does this benefit us?” said Philip disdainfully
“Mr Philip, I know that the most advanced lathe you have in Gerineer named Josef made He is also an excellent ent lathe is the most advanced?”
Philip and Alida froze
Xia Lei went on “I’ll be frank It is not just the mechanisy The ent lathe I made uns even if you get your hands on n plans”
“You dare to say that your intelligent lathe is ent lathe?” Philip snapped back to his senses, but he did not believe Xia Lei’s words
Xia Lei spoke casually, “My production workshops are just next door You can go have a tour at any time”
“This…” Philip was undecided He did want to have a tour of the production workshop, but he was not an industry insider, so he had no clue about intelligent lathes It would be useless for him to look at it He was in no doubt of Xia Lei’s words, however This was because the production of guns was not sin plans, but the production line too Lathes were an iral part of the production line too Hoould Thunder Horse Military Factory be able to produce the world’s best XL2500 and Gust rifles without the best lathes for the job?
