HK1658 Takes the Initiative to Reduce Prices!

.

If the latest arms deal between Andronik and Shi Lei can be completed smoothly, Andronik will receive a profit of US$38.25 million.

Even after taking care of all aspects, Andronik can still make a profit of at least 35 million US dollars. If he had this amount of money, Andronik could retire early, choose a place with beautiful scenery, and enjoy life leisurely.

However, Andronik knew very well that this money was not easy to make!

As long as you are not careful, what was originally a good thing to make money will turn into a bad thing that costs your life.

In order to make money and spend money, Andronik must ensure that Shi Lei will not disclose the details of this arms transaction, especially the information related to money.

But is Shi Lei obligated to do that?

A deal is a deal. Shi Lei spent 500% of the price to buy the Hurricane series full-size missiles. That was the price Shi Lei paid.

If Andronik could resist the temptation, naturally there would be no problem that he is worried about now. But Andronik didn't resist the temptation, so this problem is Andronik's own problem.

You can't let Shi Lei pay a high price to buy the Hurricane series missiles, and at the same time let Shi Lei bear the risk of being investigated by the Soviet Union's National Security Agency, right?

But Andronik had no choice!

Andronik only had the option to ask Shi Lei. He looked at Raphael with a hesitant look in his eyes and spoke.

"Major Li, I hope you can promise me something." Andronik said with reservation. If he said it in advance now, he hoped that Shi Lei could keep the transaction information secret for him. Andronik was afraid that Shi Lei would blackmail him in return. .

Raphael said nothing, just waiting for Andronik to continue. At an angle that Andronik couldn't see. Raphael's right hand was hidden on the side of his thigh, and his five fingers seemed to be tapping randomly, but they were actually sending messages to Shi Lei.

"Phini, wait patiently! We have a saying in the Xia Kingdom that when soldiers come, the water will be covered by the earth. No matter what Andronik needs us to do, we first listen to Andronik's detailed explanation. Then we decide whether to agree to him." Shi Lei passed. LIP lens information processor responds to Raphael.

Since Andronik sat opposite Raphael, Raphael could not speak, even in a silent voice. He could only use his right hand hidden on the side of his thigh to type on the non-existent keyboard with one hand. Yizuer to identify.

‘What if we ask for a price increase? What is our bottom line? ’ Raphael asked Shi Lei.

Shi Lei chuckled strangely, "No! That guy Andro is very smart. He knows how to advance and retreat very well. According to our current situation, we will indeed agree to the temporary price increase. But he also guessed that once we calm down, After the dispute in North Ossetia is resolved, we will take action against him. Therefore, Andro will never do anything stupid." Shi Lei analyzed thoroughly.

If Andronik was a fool, how could he be promoted to colonel in such a complex environment in Soviet Russia?

as expected. Andronik, who was sitting opposite Raphael, was not asking for a temporary price increase. Instead, he raised the issue that worried him the most.

"Major Li, I hope you can keep it a secret about our arms deal. After all, you know. The Hurricane series missiles are full-size missiles. If you sell missiles of this level privately, if the news leaks out, I'm afraid I will Sent to a military court." Andronik said with a bitter look.

Shi Lei watched Andronik's performance through the LIP lens-type information processor worn by Raphael, and he couldn't help but laugh.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Unfortunately, Andronik couldn't hear it, only Raphael could.

When Raphael heard Shi Lei's laughter, a look of astonishment appeared on his face, but when this expression fell in Andronik's eyes, it meant something else.

Raphael did not respond to Andronik immediately, but quickly typed questions to Shi Lei with his right hand hidden on the side of his thigh.

'why are you laughing? ’

Shi Lei chuckled and said: "Fini, we are going to watch a show! Andro is going to perform! However, I didn't expect that Andro would be so greedy and have such great authority."

Through Andronik's words, Shi Lei had already judged quite a lot of information.

For example, Andronik wanted to secretly withhold a large amount of profits from the arms trade. Originally, Shi Lei thought that although Andronik could get something like the Hurricane series of full-size missiles, it would cost a lot of connections and go a long way to get it.

However, that doesn’t seem to be the case now!

As if Andronik had some secret channel, he could use some connections that Shi Lei couldn't guess to create the Hurricane series of full-size missiles without causing a big fuss.

Only in this case would Andronik hope that Shi Lei would keep secret and thus almost monopolize the profits from the arms deal.

Andronik, who was sitting opposite Raphael, saw a look of astonishment on Raphael's face after he made his request.

This was originally just Raphael's puzzled reaction when he heard Shi Lei's laughter, but Andronik thought that it meant that Raphael did not intend to keep it a secret.

Andronik smiled bitterly in his heart, thinking about what he had to do to get Raphael to keep it a secret for him and to hide the information about this arms deal.

"Major Li, I'm not joking. If this matter is publicized, it will not only be me who will be unlucky, but even you will be involved." Andronik tried to put pressure on Shi Lei.

However, after Shi Lei heard this, he immediately snorted coldly and said to Raphael through the LIP lens information processor: "Fini, ignore him and just say it directly, you have no interest in spreading these things everywhere. But you can't either. Guarantee, this matter will not be publicized. The only thing you can guarantee is that you will not reveal any information." Shi Lei said with a smile.

Although the words Shi Lei ordered Raphael to speak were meant to be kept secret, Shi Lei knew that Andronik would not believe it.

The most common mistake human beings make is to judge others by oneself!

Human beings always like to use their own character to speculate on the character of others, as if what they would do would be what others would do.

Andronik put himself in his shoes and thought, what would he do if he were Major Li?

After some consideration, Andronik felt helpless. He believed that Major Li would definitely seize this opportunity and blackmail him severely.

This is what is called using yourself to save others!

In fact, Andronik speculated that Shi Lei's idea of ​​revealing the details of the arms deal was Andronik's attempt to save others. If Andronik hadn't asked for help and asked Shi Lei to keep the details of the arms deal secret, Shi Lei wouldn't have gone around promoting their arms deal like a talkative woman.

After all, it was an arms deal!

Shi Lei didn't even think about publicizing it everywhere, nor did he think about revealing the details of the transaction. That was all Andronik's concern.

It's completely Andronik's performance of using himself to save others.

Raphael repeated what Shi Lei told him. Just like Shi Lei's analysis, Andronik didn't believe it at all.

Andronik took a deep breath, looked at Raphael, and finally sighed, "Major Li, I am willing to pay some price to let you keep the secret."

Raphael still said expressionlessly: "What price?"

"Major Li, I think there should be a history of friendly cooperation between us, right?" Andronik did not directly explain the cost, but instead tried to build a relationship between the two parties.

Raphael nodded.

The two parties do have good cooperation in the past. Although there have only been two cooperation transactions, Andronik is very disciplined and the goods he promised to deliver are arriving one after another, and there are no troubles.

"Major Li, I also think that we can cooperate for a long time, right?" Andronik asked again.

There is an old saying in the Xia Kingdom: A rich family is not as good as making a penny every day.

Andronik developed a plan to cooperate with Shi Lei for a long time. After all, long-term cooperation is less risky and more reliable than a one-time deal.

"What do you mean?" Raphael asked confused.

Andronik smiled and explained, "Major Li, to borrow a saying from your Xia Kingdom, we plain people don't speak secretly. I hope to cooperate with Major Li for a long time. If Major Li needs any munitions, I can do it." Sell ​​it to Major Li at a relatively favorable price. At the same time, we guarantee that we will never trace the use of the weapon, and we will not leave any trackers or other things in the weapon. Major Li, what do you think?"

"Promise him!" Shi Lei ordered Raphael inside the LIP lens information processor.

Mirui Technology Group's technology is indeed very powerful in some aspects, but it is not an all-around player. It's impossible for Shi Lei to research and produce missiles by himself, right? It’s also impossible to research and produce full-size armed helicopters on your own, right?

Just in case Shi Lei needs this, Colonel Andronik would be a good candidate!

A smile appeared on Raphael's face, and after nodding, he responded: "No problem! Colonel Andronik, I agree to long-term cooperation."

Andronik breathed a sigh of relief, then laughed loudly and said: "Major Li, in order to celebrate our happy cooperation, I have decided to reduce the total selling price of this batch of Hurricane series missiles by US$30 million!"

Listening to Andronik's words, both Raphael and Shi Lei were stunned!

Because the total price of this batch of sixteen Hurricane series missiles was US$42.5 million, Andronik reduced the price by US$30 million in one breath, which was equivalent to a 30% discount!

'what should we do? ’ After Raphael woke up, he immediately asked Shi Lei.

Sometimes, you can’t be greedy for cheap!
