Andre, who was beside him, was also filled with inner turmoil.
These are all old foxes who have been around for millennia, what are they doing playing Strange Tales!
He gritted his teeth, leaned forward, and whispered, "Officer, I think this woman is just trying to ride the wave."
"In my opinion, let’s just have the security personnel escort her out, so as not to spoil the friendship among our countries."
As Andre voiced his opinion, he winked at Walker, who snapped out of it and imdiately stood up as well:
"Yes, officer, regarding those trying to ride the wave, I suggest imdiate expulsion!"
"Everyone knows that our Silicon Valley in Yingjiang Country is a dominant force in global technology. Naturally, there are so dodgy enterprises trying to climb high."
"This woman is definitely like that. I suggest we escort this lady out and let the friends present here take a short rest in the hall we’ve prepared."
Anyone could hear the tandem tone in these two n’s speech. Li Jianye smiled slightly, just about to speak, but was stopped with a gesture and enthusiastic gaze by the Russian Representative beside him.
Li Jianye understood and silently retreated.
If they’re not done playing, then let them deal with the situation themselves.
Anyway, Dragon Country would get its rightful benefits without lessening at all; it just ant less ti in the spotlight for him.
As expected, the Russian Representative stood up abruptly, his tone filled with sarcasm, "I think the matter is probably not like how you describe, is it? Being so eager to drive people away, could it be a guilty conscience?"
"No, I didn’t..."
"Friends from the press, please look this way."
Andre, whose face was flushed red, was cut off mid-sentence by the Russian Representative.
The burly Russian Representative looked at the gathering caras with a slightly inebriated expression, then lightly coughed twice and solemnly declared:
"Regarding the issue of the aircraft carrier arresting cables ntioned by the lady just now, I know a little about it."
"First, I want to express a stance: the viewpoints this lady expressed entirely match the feedback from our procurent departnt."
Wow!
Imdiately, the scene quieted down to the point where one could hear a pin drop.
No one dared to breathe, their eyes wide open, staring intently at the Russian Representative on stage.
"This matter, when recounted, should be considered a perfect misunderstanding."
"As far as we know, a certain Dragon Country company produced this series of aircraft carrier arresting cables. Although their performance is excellent, they couldn’t sell them. After all, everyone knows that for mooring lines, achieving half the quality for aircraft carrier arrest is already the very best."
"As a result, the company thought about whether they could sell them abroad, as they also need to eat. They can’t sell them as scrap tal, right?"
The humor found within the Russian Representative’s bold words incited a burst of laughter at the scene.
More and more caras focused on him.
"And as if by coincidence, once these mooring lines arrived in Yingjiang, Williams noticed them. Upon discovering that the Dragon Country rchants had no idea what these were, he was overjoyed and directly bought out all the aircraft carrier arresting cables produced by this factory."
"Guess what, guess how much he spent per cable."
Looking at the Russian Representative putting on airs, the reporters from various countries weren’t repulsed; in fact, they beca more enthusiastic.
After all, only by interviewing such people can they get more scoops, which helps them earn a living.
Thus, people began to shout guesses in different languages at the scene.
"I guess it’s five million US Dollars!"
"According to the official price, one of these sells for twenty million US Dollars, and would even require adding half a ton of rare earths. I speculate the price wouldn’t be cheap, perhaps seven million!"
"Alright, alright, everyone is being so conservative. Let guess too, ten million!"
...
Looking at the fully engaged crowd, the Russian Representative appeared content.
When the enthusiasm reached its peak, he quietly gestured for silence, leaned forward a bit, and gave a sinister smile: "Everyone’s guesses are so bold, bolder than I imagined."
"Five million, seven million, even ten million! I truly admire you all. I suppose your countries must be wealthy, otherwise, how could you co up with figures several tis over?"
What?
A sudden shockwave spread!
The Russian Representative’s last sentence imdiately set everyone off.
All present had eyes wide open, expressions frozen, mouths agape and unable to close for a long while.
"Hehe, when Williams discovered this business opportunity, he waved his hand and, at a heavenly price of ’four hundred thousand’ US Dollars each, bought out all of the aircraft carrier arresting cables."
"Friends, please rember, it was four hundred thousand US Dollars, not the reckless five million, seven million, or even ten million you imagined."
Andre’s face turned as dark as Bao Zheng, as he stared intently at Walker and Williams.
If what the Russian Representative said was true, then Yingjiang has lost both face and substance.
They’ve got no standing!
They paid forty tis more for sothing acquired at forty thousand US Dollars. Williams thinks he’s a gluttonous beast!
And that’s not the worst part. Money lost can be earned back, but losing international reputation and face deals a severe blow to Yingjiang Country’s established international system.
Upon hearing such explosive news, the dia present couldn’t care less about the host’s expression. They raised their voices, asking for more information.
"Sir, please complete this story for us."
"Yes, we hope to hear the entire story. What happened next?"
The Russian Representative, smiling, said, "As we all know, Dragon Country’s new aircraft carrier is about to be launched, and even better, their combat capability has also upgraded smoothly."
"Originally, this was a joyful event, but unfortunately, their current aircraft carrier arresting cables weren’t strong enough, so they sought internationally for arresting cables eting their paraters."
anwhile, he slightly turned his body and handed the podium over to Li Jianye.
Li Jianye stood up, took the microphone, and continued, "At that ti, while our search yielded no results, Yingjiang Ministry of Defense called directly. They said they had aircraft carrier arresting cables that t Dragon Country’s parater needs."
Beside him, Andre’s face darkened like charcoal. He stealthily moved behind Davis and muttered through clenched teeth, "Officer, they’ve set a trap for us, we can’t remain passive!"
Davis’s expression remained calm, pretending to listen intently, casually saying, "So what if they have? Or what if they haven’t? Our skills are inferior; we have to accept defeat this ti."
"Moreover, this is a global broadcast. If we forcibly stop this now, the negative implications would be even greater. Let’s handle each move as it cos."
The worldwide audience in the livestream rooms was almost stunned after hearing the Russian Representative’s account.
"What the heck? Don’t fool , I don’t read much, you might say sothing casually and I might just believe it."
"Dude, the situation is already clear. Can’t you see? If it were false, would the domineering Yingjiang remain silent at a ti like this?"
"Is... is this like a novel coming true? The global hegemon copying Dragon Country, only to be harshly slapped in the face by Dragon Country."
"So, it turns out these aircraft carrier arresting cables were really made by Dragon Country? Damn, I always said this ancient Oriental country is sneaky! Who knows how many great things they have hidden!"
