17: Restlessness

But they found small loopholes within those rules.

"What? Didn't you hear correctly?" When the subordinate heard this, his eyes widened, and his face was filled with disbelief.

"What did you say? They still want to buy a few more? And asked if our supply is sufficient?" The subordinate looked at Qin Liang with a blank expression.

Qin Liang was also stunned when he heard the subordinate's relay.

In this day and age, there are actually people rushing to buy old machine tools?

Although it was unbelievable, how could he refuse money that was being delivered to his doorstep?

Qin Liang thought for a moment, then instructed the subordinate: "Tell them we have 50 units in stock. If they buy a large quantity, the price is negotiable."

The subordinate relayed Qin Liang's message verbatim, but the other party's response left him dumbfounded again. He stammered as he repeated it.

"Wh-What? You... you want all 50 units?"

As soon as these words came out, Qin Liang suddenly stood up, his face full of shock.

"What trick are they playing?" He paced back and forth, feeling uncertain.

"What kind of show are they putting on?

But last time we sold 10 units at 600,000 each and made 6 million. This time, there are 50 units. Even if we lower the price by 100,000 per unit, that's a full 25 million!"

"With so much money, not making it would be a terrible waste!"

Just thinking about the golden mountain shining before him, Qin Liang's hand holding the tea trembled with excitement.

He snatched the phone from the subordinate's hand and spoke into the receiver.

"Hello, you want all 50 units? I can give you a discount of 100,000 per unit, but we have to ship in batches."

"We'll ship 25 units this time and the rest in two weeks."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, then a response: "Okay, but you should be aware that delayed delivery requires double compensation."

Qin Liang said with a chuckle: "Of course, we'll write this clause into the contract shortly.

If there are no issues, it's settled. I'll send you the contract later. Once confirmed, you can make the payment and we'll ship."

Seeing that the other party had no objection, he slowly hung up the phone.

The subordinate standing nearby quickly stepped forward and asked curiously: "Boss, don't we only have a little over twenty machine tools?

How did it suddenly become fifty units?"

Qin Liang snorted, displeased: "Xiao Liu, why don't you understand yet?

You've been with me for so long, how can you still be so slow-witted!"

"What did I want you to do by sending people to those two completely closed factories?"

"Was it to move those CNC machine tools back?" The subordinate answered tentatively.

Qin Liang lightly tapped the subordinate's forehead, "You blockhead, I'm asking you what you plan to do after moving them back?

Not what you were going to move!"

"Uh... move them back, isn't it just to resell them and make a profit?"

Seeing Qin Liang's face darken again, the subordinate's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Ah, Boss, I understand!

You want me to wait by the entrance of those two factories, and when they are eager to clear out their inventory, we'll seize the opportunity to pick up bargains and get all that good equipment, right?"

Hearing this, Qin Liang's raised hand slowly lowered.

"Hmph, eat more walnuts to improve your brain in the future."

After saying this, Qin Liang sat back down on the sofa and continued to sip his tea.

The subordinate quickly stepped forward to refill his tea, his face full of smiles as he flattered: "Boss, you are truly amazing! This method of getting something for nothing is simply invincible!"

He suddenly thought of something and cautiously asked: "But Boss, what if they don't sell to us?"

"Not sell? They can't even fix those broken machines themselves. If they don't sell, are they going to keep them for the New Year?"

"Besides, in a few days, the military production licenses of those small military factories will be revoked. Whether we can even get the second batch of goods by then is a question."

"If they really are going to close down, you push the price down hard. Without military production licenses, even if we push the price down to 100,000, they'll have to beg us to buy!"

"Yes, yes, yes, Boss, you are wise and brilliant! Your wisdom is truly..."

"Stop flattering me, hurry up and draft the contract for me!"

Looking at the sycophant in front of him, Qin Liang couldn't help but get angry and kicked him on the backside.

The kicked subordinate endured the pain, not daring to make a sound, and obediently went to draft the contract.

After being busy for most of the day, everything was finally settled.

And Qin Liang's eldest disciple, Liu Shan, also went to Longhai City along with the goods.

According to Boss Qin Liang's instructions, he had now disguised himself as a second-hand goods dealer, loitering around the entrance of the 316 Military Factory all day, ready to go in and negotiate acquisition matters at any time.

However, as time passed, Liu Shan increasingly felt that things were not as simple as they seemed.

Seeing the date for the second shipment approaching day by day, the busy figures of construction workers around and the constant roaring of cranes were truly perplexing.

How could a factory that was about to have its license revoked still be carrying out such extensive construction and continuous expansion?

The rumored date for license revocation had passed more than a week ago, but there was still no sign of it. What exactly was going on?

At first, when he mentioned this matter to Qin Liang, he was severely reprimanded by Qin Liang.

However, as time passed, even the steady Qin Liang began to appear somewhat restless and uneasy.

"Still no news today?" Qin Liang's voice came from the other end of the phone, clearly revealing a hint of urgency and impatience.

"Boss, the factory here is still expanding vigorously. Haven't those small military factories received the license revocation notice yet?" The subordinate Liu Shan finally couldn't help but ask.

Silence fell on the other end of the phone. Qin Liang was also full of doubts.

According to the information he had received, other military factories had already received notices and were facing the fate of closing down or being merged. Why was there still no movement from this one in Longhai City?

To ensure the accuracy of the information, Qin Liang spared no expense and made inquiries through various channels.

"You continue to keep watch there. Report to me immediately if there's any sign of trouble."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Liang paced back and forth, his brows furrowed, his doubts deepening.

"What exactly is going on?

The source of the information was clearly very reliable. Could it be that this factory was truly not on the license revocation list?

This is impossible. It is said that only the four major military industry groups will remain in the end."

"Longhai... Longhai..." This name echoed in Qin Liang's mind, but he could never match it with the information in his memory.

"I can't wait like this any longer. I must go there myself!"

Qin Liang made up his mind and immediately drove to Longhai City.

...

After Liu Shan hung up the phone, he hesitated for a moment, but still decided to go to the 316 Military Factory again to find out what was happening.

Time was pressing, and since Boss Qin Liang didn't have any new instructions, he could only rely on his own efforts to uncover the truth.

When he arrived at the entrance of the 316 Military Factory again, he saw the familiar old gatekeeper.

He smiled and stepped forward to greet him: "Old Master Wang, how are you? I'm here again."

After several interactions, he and the old gatekeeper had become quite familiar with each other.

"Why are you here again?

Xiao Liu, I told you not to waste your effort.
