295: Chapter 295 You're Tricking Me, Brat

Yujing City is not far from Binjiang; including takeoff and landing time, it is less than a half-hour flight.

"Commander Yan, you are as unscrupulous as ever. You doubled the price of an item worth 2 million the moment you got your hands on it; you really make money so comfortably!" Oriental Chen said with a smile after listening to Yan Zhengping's description.

"Stop with the snide remarks and quickly think of a way to handle this," Yan Zhengping chided.

"What does this have to do with me? I have clearly stated that the Chamber of Commerce does not do business with the military. You trapped yourself step by step; figure it out yourself," Oriental Chen said, unmoved.

"The Speaker did give a reminder; according to the Wartime Armament Regulations, the Parliament has the power to requisition the weapon production lines of the Huatong Chamber of Commerce. Didn't you hear it? This is a reminder, as well as a warning," Yan Zhengping said.

This regulation is actually not problematic.

National security is above all else. When national interests are threatened, any organization or individual should make way for it.

However, in Oriental Chen's view, this precedent cannot be set; if this precedent is set, there is no telling how much trouble will follow.

As the old saying goes, if there is one, there will be two; if there is two, there will be three.

Therefore, this "one" cannot exist.

But since the Speaker has spoken to this extent, it is clear that there is no room for negotiation on this matter.

The Huatong Chamber of Commerce has a very special positioning; it is meant to serve various Settlements. Therefore, falling out with the Parliament is very unwise.

Furthermore, Yan Zhengping raised the selling price, making this matter even more troublesome to handle.

The Chamber of Commerce can no longer agree to this transaction because Oriental Chen cannot do business with the Parliament at a fake price.

So the problem now is that it is impossible for the Chamber of Commerce to agree to the transaction either.

"Commander Yan, you have really given me a difficult problem!" Oriental Chen complained with a smile.

"Stop acting innocent; do I not know you? Tell me, how do we solve it? I don't believe you have no way," Yan Zhengping glanced at him sideways.

He knew clearly that since Oriental Chen could lend this batch of equipment in the name of the Huatong Chamber of Commerce, he had already thought of a way.

Moreover, he even suspected that Oriental Chen did it on purpose.

As for why, he hadn't figured it out yet, but he could tell from Oriental Chen's expression that all of this was definitely not unexpected.

Otherwise, given Oriental Chen's personality, he would have already lost his temper with him.

"Commander Yan, you really have me pegged," Oriental Chen shook his head and smiled.

"Alright, the situation is urgent; the Parliament is discussing taking military action against Ulan Country, so stop holding back and just say it," Yan Zhengping urged.

"The Huatong Chamber of Commerce cannot trade with the Parliament. This precedent cannot be set; once it is set, there will constantly be people coming to cause trouble for the Chamber of Commerce. Although no one can do anything to the Chamber of Commerce, I am someone who really hates trouble," Oriental Chen said.

"Then what do you want to do?" Yan Zhengping asked.

"Then I can only wrong Commander Yan," Oriental Chen said with a smile.

This smile looked a bit cunning, and Yan Zhengping couldn't help but feel a chill down his back.

"What are you trying to do?" Yan Zhengping asked.

"I plan to give this batch of goods to you," Oriental Chen said with a smile.

"Give it to me?" Yan Zhengping didn't understand.

"That's right, give it to you. However, you still have to settle the payment for the goods. The total price of these robots is 7 million crystals; let's just charge you 6 million, and the remaining 1 million will be considered compensation for you," Oriental Chen said.

"Wait, wait. I don't understand. You intend to sell the goods to me?" Yan Zhengping asked.

"Strictly speaking, it cannot be considered selling; it only counts as giving," Oriental Chen said.

Yan Zhengping was stunned. What does this mean? He couldn't understand it at all!

"But isn't doing this just redundant, like taking off your pants to fart? Even if you give it to me, on the surface, the Huatong Chamber of Commerce still did business with the military, right? What is the difference between this and selling it directly to the Parliament?" Yan Zhengping asked.

"No, no, no, you didn't understand my meaning. What I mean is that the Huatong Chamber of Commerce never did business with you at all," Oriental Chen shook his head, looking at him and smiling.

It was that cunning smile again.

"N... no?" Yan Zhengping racked his brain but couldn't figure out what on earth Oriental Chen meant by this.

He could clearly understand every word, but put together, he was truly confused.

"Alright, Commander Yan, when you return to Yujing, everything will be clear," Oriental Chen said.

"No, tell me clearly right now! Otherwise, I won't go back," Yan Zhengping didn't believe his words.

Go back without figuring it out? That was not his style of doing things.

"Alright, Commander Yan, I can tell you. But let's agree in advance, no losing your temper!" Oriental Chen pointed at him and said seriously.

"Just tell me!" Yan Zhengping urged anxiously.

"Chairman Niu has already gone to Yujing," Oriental Chen said.

"What is he doing in Yujing?" Yan Zhengping asked.

"He went to find you," Oriental Chen said with a smile, flashing that cunning smile again.

"He went to find... damn it! You brat, you set me up!" Yan Zhengping suddenly realized that he might have been conned, and cursed with wide eyes.
