346: Transaction completed

“You actually have a second barrel of rocket fuel!???”

“Didn’t you just participate in the professional assessment? Did you also bring this out of the forbidden zone today?”

“My goodness!”

Seeing the supplies Xiao Yun took out of the big red envelope, Vanderbilt and the other two bosses were all shocked.

Moreover, what puzzled them even more was that Xiao Yun carried such valuable supplies in two tattered backpacks. Wasn't he afraid of something happening on the way, or being robbed midway?

However, thinking that this was Long Nation, the three of them silently put away their doubts, sighing that the public security was truly good.

“Xiao Yun, you only participated in two assessments, yet you brought out two barrels of rocket fuel from the forbidden zone?”

Seeing the second barrel of rocket fuel, George, as the General Examiner, was also somewhat shocked.

Isn’t this rocket fuel a top-tier resource exclusive to Aerospace? When did it become so easy to obtain?

If it’s according to Xiao Yun’s drop rate of one barrel per game, what would Old Ma of Lighthouse Country monopolize? The goods he alone produces could directly break the monopoly.

After all, although Old Ma is rich, with one barrel per game, he can’t possibly acquire every single barrel!

“Just good luck, both games were just top-secret difficulty.”

Regarding everyone’s shock, Xiao Yun only smiled faintly.

To be honest, he himself didn't expect that today's two assessments would yield so many valuable big red supplies.

He even found the africa heart in the forbidden zone!

Strictly speaking, a large part of this was due to Lu Xueqing being in the team, influenced by her good luck.

Otherwise, even with the drop rate at top-secret difficulty, the output wouldn't be this exaggerated.

And at this moment, it wasn't just Xiao Yun thinking this way.

The other few people also felt that the game’s drop rate was incredibly high.

“Even at top-secret difficulty, this drop rate is too… outrageous, isn’t it?”

General Examiner George rubbed his eyes in disbelief, looking at the two barrels of rocket fuel on the table.

However, compared to his shock, Vanderbilt, who was next to him, felt incredibly excited at this moment.

“Mr. Xiao Yun, are you really willing to trade both barrels to me? We’ve only just met, I didn’t expect to have such an honor!”

Vanderbilt was extremely agitated at this moment, completely lacking the composure a world-class capitalist should have.

However, people from Lighthouse Country seem to be like this, their emotions are openly displayed.

Besides, even if Vanderbilt had seen many storms, what was before him could change the fate of their entire Morgan Family, so it was impossible for him not to be excited.

“Honestly, if I had known you had a second barrel, I wouldn’t have haggled with you before. Even if you didn’t give me a 10% discount on this second barrel, I’d be willing to pay 10% more!”

“There’s such a thing?”

Hearing this, Xiao Yun’s expression suddenly stiffened.

The second barrel not only doesn't get a discount but even has a price increase? What does this mean?

Is a price increase for the second barrel normal business logic? How is it different from selling things at my local convenience store!

Thinking of this, Xiao Yun looked at George next to him with a confused expression.

Currently, it seems that among everyone present, George is the most honest. What he says is basically the truth, mainly because he has no direct conflict of interest with the people present, only a relationship similar to an intermediary, so he doesn't have as many ulterior motives.

Indeed, George nodded silently.

“Yes, after all, this is a monopoly-breaking material. Two barrels are definitely worth more than one. Even if each barrel increases by 10%, it’s not excessive.”

“That’s right, after all, in terms of Aerospace, although our group has made some preparations, we haven’t started practical application yet. The power energy provided by one barrel might be consumed during the R&D process, but with two barrels, I estimate it can at least ensure the successful launch of the first three spacecraft.”

Vanderbilt silently calculated in his mind, his excitement never stopping.

At this moment, he seemed to have already seen a civilian rocket named Morgan One successfully launch, orbit the moon once, and then leave a trail of smoke rings named “Morgan Era” in space.

Of course, this was just a fantasy of a rich layman who didn’t understand technology or science.

“If you put it that way, then I won’t give a discount on this second barrel.”

Xiao Yun said jokingly.

Although his tone at this time sounded like a joke, he was actually truly regretting it internally!

If he had known that bundling two of these things could increase the price, why would he give a discount?

Not adding 10% to the price was already letting him make a huge profit!

One barrel is 30 million dragon country currency, two barrels are 60 million. If he added 10%, he would earn an extra 6 million.

As a result, his operation went awry, he didn't earn 6 million, and even lost 3 million.

This back and forth, he lost 9 million!

However.

At this moment, Xiao Yun was deeply troubled, but what he didn't know was that at this moment, neither Vanderbilt, who was about to trade, nor George, who had been maintaining the atmosphere, were using the same currency system as him.

“Hey! No, no, no, let’s just make friends.”

Hearing Xiao Yun say this, Vanderbilt also broke into a sweat.

Although the two were about to reach a deal, due to a series of misunderstandings, the transaction price he believed it to be was vastly different from what Xiao Yun thought!

One barrel was also 30 million, but the currency he was using here was Lighthouse Country Currency!

30 million, that’s dollars!

A 10% discount on the second barrel would be 3 million dollars, equivalent to over 20 million dragon country currency!

Vanderbilt wanted to cry knowing the extent of this discount.

This Xiao Yun, from a foreign land, truly treated him like a brother, truly treated him like a friend!

“Alright, alright, Xiao Yun, Mr. Vanderbilt wanted a discount earlier and you didn't agree, so now it makes no sense to retract the discount you yourself offered. Let’s finalize the deal at the price we discussed earlier and with the discount you gave.”

At this moment, George also quickly came out to mediate.

At the same time, he immediately appreciated Xiao Yun even more. This kid definitely wouldn’t not know the importance of these two barrels of rocket fuel.

He was pretending not to understand the market and deliberately giving a 10% discount; this was playing the long game to catch a big fish!

Although Xiao Yun might be an existence that will lead the world in the forbidden zone, at this moment, he is still young. He hasn't accumulated much capital, whether in reality or in the forbidden zone.

The reason he can now negotiate face-to-face with Vanderbilt and the other two is mainly due to the africa heart in his hand, and George’s connections.

And if he, through this transaction, gives a concession to Vanderbilt, who is backed by the entire Morgan Family, and successfully makes this business friend, his future path will be much wider.

The reason he is now haggling back and forth over the price is to hide his true abilities!

George couldn't help but sigh, this Long Nation culture is truly profound.

Xiao Yun has mastered the art of human relations perfectly!

However.

How could George have known that all of this was merely his own conjecture?

In fact, Xiao Yun simply hadn't expected that these two barrels could even have a premium!

“Alright, then it’s according to the price we just discussed.”

“Mm, okay, no problem. Since Mr. George is also here, let him be the intermediary.”

For such major transactions, it’s usually either cash on delivery or requires a reliable intermediary.

Since Vanderbilt was from Lighthouse Country, he didn't bring that much cash, and writing a check from a Lighthouse Country bank was inconvenient.

It would be more convenient to directly transfer the money to a Long Nation card and give the card to Xiao Yun for him to transfer or withdraw later.

And this requires a reliable intermediary to complete the transaction process.

So George quickly took out a template contract, filled it out swiftly, and handed it to the two for signing and fingerprinting.

Throughout the process, Xiao Yun and George had no doubts and quickly completed the signing of the contract.

“Mm, so according to the price agreed upon by both parties, after deducting the discount… it’s a total of 570 million dragon country currency, no problem, right?”

“No… huh?”

“Wait a minute?”

However.

After both parties signed the contract, when George reconfirmed the price, both of them suddenly froze.
