178: The fainted Sakura

At the same time, at the Sakura signing ceremony.

Seeing the Central District Representative stop signing, the Xiao Yinghua Responsible Person’s smile, which had just bloomed on his face, instantly froze. He said with a cold face, “What do you mean by this? Do you want to breach the contract?”

“Haha, what are you talking about? The contract hasn't even been signed yet, so where does breaching the contract come from?”

The Central District Representative chuckled and said unhurriedly, “We just feel that buying a mech is such a significant matter, so we need to be cautious. We need some time to re-examine the contract.”

The Xiao Yinghua Responsible Person snorted lightly and stated directly, “You want to wait for Shangxia’s reply, right?”

After speaking, without waiting for the Central District Representative to reply, the Xiao Yinghua Responsible Person said proudly, “It’s absolutely impossible for Shangxia to build the kind of mech shown in the promotional video. We have hundreds of years more history in researching mechs than they do. We can tell you with certainty that it’s absolutely impossible for them to make such a mech!”

“At this critical juncture, they released such a promotional video, which is nothing more than an attempt to disrupt our transaction. You must not fall for it!”

The Central District Representative was slightly stunned, somewhat not expecting Sakura to be so direct.

In the current situation, everyone was well aware of the situation. The best approach for both parties was to simply come up with a high-sounding reason to temporarily suspend the signing ceremony.

Afterward, whether they continued to sign or not, at least on the surface, it would still be acceptable.

But the Central District people did not expect Sakura to be so direct in stating the matter clearly.

Stating it clearly on the spot was undoubtedly a very strong attitude.

This was almost telling them that if they did not continue to sign, then they should not expect to purchase any mechs from Sakura in the future.

This put the Central District Representative in a difficult position.

In fact, currently, worldwide, it was a buyer's market, and as major players, they, the super buyers, had always held the initiative.

Under normal circumstances, if Sakura was so disrespectful, they would definitely turn hostile on the spot.

But now, mechs were rare and valuable, and Sakura was well aware of this, which was why its attitude was so strong.

This was forcing Central District to choose one or the other!

Seeing the Central District Representative still hesitating, the Xiao Yinghua Responsible Person spoke again, “We understand your desire as buyers to compare goods, but building mechs is not that simple!”

As he spoke, he stared into the Central District Representative’s eyes and said faintly, “If Shangxia had such technology, it would have announced it long ago. Why wait until now? What is its intention? I think there’s no need to say more, right?”

“They are deliberately trying to destroy our friendship!”

“We guarantee, in the name of the empire, that currently no country worldwide can build the kind of mech shown in the promotional video!”

“Shangxia is just trying to gain popularity!”

Upon hearing this, several Central District Representatives immediately began to communicate and discuss amongst themselves.

Because, the Xiao Yinghua Responsible Person’s words made some sense.

And the Xiao Yinghua Responsible Person threw out another sentence:

“Although we also very much want to reach a deal with your esteemed party, if your esteemed party truly cannot decide, then this transaction will end here. In the future, our side will no longer sell any mechs to your esteemed party. You had better consider carefully!”

If it was just an insinuation before, now, Sakura was directly threatening them openly.

The Central District Representative’s expressions were not very good.

As the worldwide benefactors, they were always revered wherever they went.

Even if they didn't buy, it wouldn't make them lose too much face.

Sakura’s current threat truly made them unhappy.

One of the Central District Representative couldn't help but retort, “Are you so sure Shangxia can’t build a mech?”

“Haha, we just said that we can guarantee, in the name of the empire, that it’s absolutely impossible for them to build such a mech!”

The Xiao Yinghua Responsible Person swore confidently.

“Currently, in worldwide mech technology, only our Sakura Empire is the strongest!”

He looked proudly at the Central District Representative: “If you continue to hesitate, then I guarantee you will regret it!”

Then, he even directly took out his phone, tuned it to the domestic official live stream, and once again scoffed and emphasized, “Shangxia, it’s absolutely impossible to build a mech!”

“If you don’t believe me, let’s wait and see. It’s absolutely impossible for them to show you the physical mech. They simply cannot have it…”

However, in the next instant, before this guy could finish speaking, his entire expression suddenly changed, and then he stared at the phone screen as if he had gone mad, shouting:

“No! This is impossible! How could they actually build such a mech?!”

In the live broadcast screen, at some point, a…

Real mech appeared!

Yes, that’s right.

A real mech, identical to the one displayed in the promotional video, appeared in the live broadcast screen.

It was demonstrating its various capabilities in all aspects.

The Central District Representative looked at the mech demonstrating its capabilities in the live stream, and even directly stood up: “Sorry, we have decided not to purchase your mechs anymore!”

After speaking, they all hurriedly ran out of the venue and got into their cars, ordering their subordinates to reach the airport in the shortest possible time, and then go to Shangxia!

The originally lively venue instantly became deserted.

The Xiao Yinghua Responsible Person couldn't bear the sudden change, his body stiffened, and then his eyes went dark, and he actually fainted directly on the ground.

“Quick, call an ambulance!”

“Quickly go to the hospital…”

The venue, which had just been filled with joy, instantly became chaotic.

…

At the same time, domestically, in the Great Science Academy official live stream.

Looking at the physical mech that suddenly appeared in the frame, Netizens were in an uproar.

Just now, the wealthy patrons from Central District were frantically sending gifts, asking Zhao Zizhen if it was possible for China to build a physical mech.

But Zhao Zizhen had not immediately expressed his stance, and Netizens had originally thought there was no hope, believing that the mech in the promotional video might still be in the conceptual stage.

But they did not expect that the mech would directly burst in.

Yes!

It burst in!

Because at the moment the mech entered the live broadcast screen, everyone could see the astonishment on Zhao Zizhen’s face.

That kind of genuine shock and pupil contraction could absolutely not be faked.

Clearly, Zhao Zizhen himself had very likely not seen the physical mech before this.

This made Netizens, while shocked by the direct appearance of the mech, also start to tease him.

“Hahaha, it seems Dean Zhao hasn’t seen this thing before!”

“He definitely hasn’t seen it. That shocked little look in his eyes, it’s absolutely not faked. If it’s faked, then I declare that the next Golden Man award definitely belongs to Dean Zhao!”

“I study acting, and I can tell everyone with certainty that Dean Zhao’s momentary shock and awe just now could not be acted out, not even by a Film Emperor. That was the most primitive instinctual reaction of a human body!”

“It seems the confidentiality work was really well done, they didn’t even tell Dean Zhao.”

“Exciting! It’s truly too exciting!”

“Look at our stuff, this is what you call a mech! What kind of junk is Sakura’s pile of scrap metal?”

“Hahaha, let me interject with some breaking news: the signing ceremony for mech purchases between Sakura and the Central District patrons has been canceled! The Central District patrons rejected the signing on the spot and ran off!”

“Not only that, I’m on site, and that Xiao Yinghua Responsible Person even fainted directly from the shock and has now been urgently sent to the hospital!”

“Fainted? Are you sure he just fainted?”

“He didn’t directly die of anger? I’m not very convinced.”

“Good brother, watching horror movies is just for fun, but you’re the real living King of Hell.”

“…”

Sorry, I have a bit of a cold today and slept all day after taking medicine.

One update today, I will make up for it tomorrow, sorry sorry sorry!

I'll kowtow to everyone!
