347: A wonderful misunderstanding

“The total is 570 million dragon country currency. Is that all right?”

“No… huh?”

“Wait a minute?”

Hearing this price, Xiao Yun and Vanderbilt were both stunned.

Xiao Yun was instantly bewildered. Was that the price he had said?

He had said 30 million dragon country currency per barrel. For two barrels, after the discount, it should have been 57 million dragon country currency.

Did George make a mistake with the decimal point, writing 570 million?

That was a tenfold increase, and the contract was already signed. Wasn't he just getting a huge bargain!

However.

Xiao Yun also knew that this kind of bargain wasn't something to be taken lightly.

With the price almost ten times higher, Vanderbilt wasn't a fool. Would he agree to it?

Thinking of this, Xiao Yun quietly turned his head, observing Vanderbilt's expression.

“Sigh… Alright.”

Vanderbilt was first surprised and shocked, but he seemed to quickly realize that George might have misunderstood.

It should have been 57 million Lighthouse Country currency, which would be about 420 million dragon country currency.

As a result, due to George's slight misunderstanding, the price was raised by 150 million.

However, this was not Xiao Yun's fault.

Even if there was a misunderstanding, two barrels of rocket fuel were, after all, very rare. 570 million dragon country currency was within an acceptable range.

Thinking of this, Vanderbilt also silently sighed, choosing to accept this clever misunderstanding.

After all, he knew how Xiao Yun treated him. Not only did the two barrels of oil not increase in price, but they also had a 10% discount. This was a sign that Xiao Yun wanted to be his friend.

Since the other party was willing to spend so much money to make friends, when the opportunity fell to Vanderbilt, he naturally chose to seize it.

According to George, Xiao Yun's team had the potential to break world history and create miracles, a team of the future.

Spending less than 200 million dragon country currency more to make this friend was worth it!

“Alright, then let's go with this price. Deal.”

Thinking of this, Vanderbilt's mood was very pleasant. He took Xiao Yun's hand and shook it tightly.

“Although there might be some misunderstanding regarding the price, Mr. George, since I chose to make Mr. Xiao Yun my friend, I am happy to pay this amount! But if you plan to sell top-tier materials in the future, please don't forget me, your friend.”

“Hmm… Huh?”

Listening to Vanderbilt's words, Xiao Yun felt a warmth in his heart, but beyond that, Xiao Yun felt more shocked.

This transaction, it was just completed like this?

Wait… this, this isn't right, is it?

This tenfold price, Vanderbilt actually accepted it directly?

This was a tenfold price!

If it was really as he said, just spending “this amount of money” to make a friend, then why did he look like he thought it was expensive just now!

Xiao Yun immediately caught this contradiction, and his brain was frantically thinking.

Soon, he came up with an answer: could it be that from beginning to end, the price he and the other party were talking about was not the same?

As soon as he thought that the other party was from Lighthouse Country, Xiao Yun immediately understood.

So, what Vanderbilt was talking about was dollars!

“Did I misunderstand? Uh… But it should be this price, right?”

And looking at the expressions of the two, George was instantly a bit stunned.

This… what's going on?

Looking at their confused and surprised expressions, why did it feel like he was not on the same wavelength as them?

Could it be that the price they were discussing was in another currency system? Was it Bitcoin? That's not right either!

“It's alright, Mr. George, this is just a wonderful little misunderstanding.”

Seeing George starting to doubt himself, Vanderbilt was also very magnanimous in understanding him.

After all, the transaction had been completed. It was useless to go back on it now; the best choice was to accept.

“Alright, alright, I heard that the best Michelin restaurant in Jinghai City has booked a banquet. I see that everyone still has things they want to discuss. When the time comes, why don't we have dinner together?”

At this moment, another boss nearby also came out to ease the atmosphere.

Everyone silently nodded at his arrangement.

Both George and Vanderbilt indeed had many things they wanted to talk about with Xiao Yun.

And since this was the private room of the Museum auction house, discussing business here was not ideal. It was more suitable to talk about other things at the dinner table.

However.

The other few people all nodded, but only Xiao Yun did not respond.

“Mr. Xiao Yun? Is this convenient for you?”

Seeing this, that boss also asked him specifically.

“Convenient, of course, it's convenient. It's just that this transaction isn't over yet.”

Xiao Yun smiled faintly and said.

At this moment, he had only traded the two barrels of oil to Vanderbilt. He still had a pile of big red materials hidden in his warehouse!

In the past, when he traded with those research institutes and domestic companies, they were often limited by insufficient funds and generally couldn't take too many materials.

However, these three people in front of him were different.

Vanderbilt was the heir of a century-old family from Lighthouse Country, and the two people next to him were certainly not simple either; none of them lacked money.

If he could package and sell all the big red items at this time, that would be for the best.

But Xiao Yun was just thinking about it. After all, they didn't buy everything; they would definitely only buy what they were interested in or needed.

However, even if he was sure to interest the three, Xiao Yun still had several items in his safe.

“Don't worry, Xiao Yun, Mr. Vanderbilt has a domestic account and funds. The payment will be very fast, and this transaction will definitely be completed before tomorrow morning's assessment.”

George said with a faint smile.

At this moment, he still simply thought that Xiao Yun was only worried about the rocket fuel transaction.

After all, this transaction went through him as an intermediary, and he felt that Xiao Yun might still have some doubts.

However.

What they didn't know was that Xiao Yun wasn't talking about these things.

“Mr. Vanderbilt, the things I have that can interest you are not just rocket fuel.”

“You mean…?”

Looking at the smile on Xiao Yun's face, Vanderbilt's heart suddenly felt a little flustered.

This guy, he wouldn't be hinting at something strange, would he!
