76: Something else

The next day, a knock came from outside Xu Ning's office.

"Please come in."

Xu Ning raised his head.

Entering were Tang Ziwei and an uninvited guest who followed closely behind, Iraq's Ambassador Hassan.

Although he had anticipated it, he didn't expect the other party to appear so quickly.

Hassan looked exhausted, with dark circles under his eyes and a pale complexion, as if he could collapse at any moment.

He quickly stepped forward, tightly grasped Mr. Xu's hand, and said, almost in tears, "Mr. Xu, why didn't you answer my call last night?"

"I was worried about your safety all night."

"Fearing something might happen to you, I immediately took the earliest flight to rush here."

Xu Ning seemed a bit awkward, thinking to himself, 'It's only been a little over a month, how did this Ambassador become so good at flattery?'

Standing behind Hassan, Tang Ziwei had a look of surprise, secretlyRejoice she hadn't bet with him.

Hassan's words just now also sent a chill down his spine.

Xu Ning quickly explained, "Master Hassan, this is a misunderstanding.

My phone malfunctioned last night and hasn't been repaired.

"So I couldn't receive your call, but please rest assured, I am perfectly fine, and you can leave at ease."

Saying this, Xu Ning gestured for him to leave.

This action momentarily stunned Master Hassan, leaving him at a loss.

He quickly explained, "Uh... Mr. Xu, actually I came to see you."

Xu Ning put on a surprised look, "Oh? Is there something else?"

Master Hassan looked at his expression and couldn't help but start doubting if he had misunderstood something.

However, whether true or false, the main business still needed to be discussed.

Master Hassan cleared his throat and said seriously, "I came to inquire about the new weapon mentioned yesterday."

Xu Ning showed a look of sudden realization, then slightly furrowed his brow, "Oh dear, Master Hassan, you've really come at a bad time, because I didn't just call you yesterday."

"Someone has already placed an order now."

He spread his hands and continued, "Our 'Cloud Crossbow - I', which is the anti-aircraft missile specifically for dealing with Apache helicopters that was mentioned yesterday, due to its favorable price, the orders are already scheduled until next year."

"What? Next year?"

Master Hassan's eyes widened in disbelief, almost unable to believe his ears.

"Yes," Xu Ning sighed, "I know you might find it hard to believe, but the workshop supervisor, Mr. Chang, can confirm this."

Saying this, he gestured to Tang Ziwei who was standing by the door.

Master Hassan immediately turned to him, his gaze locked tightly.

Tang Ziwei, who was about to leave, was stunned by this sudden stare.

"Uh..."

After being flustered for a few seconds, he quickly calmed down and nodded solemnly, "Yes, what Chairman Xu said is true, the orders for 'Cloud Crossbow - I' are completely full!"

Master Hassan stared at him for a while longer before turning back to Xu Ning.

Tang Ziwei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This guy, he didn't even notify me in advance about cooperating with the performance.

Moreover, the production line hasn't even been built yet, and he's saying it's fully booked.

What kind of strategy is this?

Tang Ziwei was momentarily bewildered by Xu Ning's actions.

Meanwhile, Xu Ning casually avoided Tang Ziwei's questioning gaze.

He still had a performance waiting for him.

He quickly put on a helpless expression and said, "Master Hassan, you've heard it.

I am truly sorry."

Master Hassan stumbled slightly, involuntarily taking a step back.

At this moment, he felt a chill in his hands and feet.

If he went back like this, he would likely face a severe reprimand.

He really wanted to slap his past self a few times.

Hassan, oh Hassan, what exactly were you trying to prove?

He quickly asked, "Is there really no other way? I can pay more!"

Xu Ning's face immediately turned serious.

"Master Hassan, you've misunderstood me."

"Do you think I am the kind of person who would abandon my principles for money?"

Seeing that Xu Ning seemed genuinely angry, Master Hassan quickly apologized.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong."

Seeing that there was no room for maneuver, he could only sigh and prepare to leave.

"Since that's the case, I won't bother you any longer."

"However..." Xu Ning suddenly spoke.

Although the voice was not loud, to Master Hassan, it echoed in his ears like gospel.

Xu Ning continued, "Although the Cloud Crossbow I production line is at full capacity."

"But we still have the Cloud Crossbow II and Cloud Crossbow III, and their production lines still have capacity."

"I wonder if you are interested?"

"What?"

Master Hassan could hardly believe his ears.

"Only a little over a month has passed."

"You have already launched the Cloud Crossbow II and III?"

Master Hassan's eyes darted quickly in their sockets as he fell into deep thought.

This cunning guy isn't trying to bluff me, is he?

But if they are tiered products, their performance must be different.

This kind of thing can't be hidden; a comparison would expose it.

So, perhaps it's true?

He couldn't help but marvel inwardly.

The research and development speed of Shanhai Industry is already so astonishing?

Xu Ning explained unhurriedly, "That's right, because customer demand is the driving force behind our progress."

"So we have strengthened our research and development efforts, which is why the Cloud Crossbow series has been able to upgrade in a short period."

Although Ambassador Hassan felt that something was a little off, he didn't have time to think carefully and quickly asked Mr. Xu, "If I purchase this batch of goods, when can they be delivered?"

Mr. Xu replied, "Within one week at the latest."

Master Hassan's face immediately showed an expression of pleasant surprise upon hearing this.

But Mr. Xu quickly added, "However, Master Hassan, there is one thing I must tell you first."

"Because these are new models of the Cloud Crossbow series, the price will be a bit higher than before."

"Considering the value of the Apache, our system is very cost-effective."

Master Hassan's eyes lit up, but then he frowned again.

He calculated in his mind: one set is sixty thousand USD, a thousand sets would be sixty million USD, and ten thousand sets would be six hundred million USD.

Due to the already large war expenses, especially the costs with Mr. Xu including the oil field fees, over ten billion USD had already been spent.

After thinking for a moment, Master Hassan asked, "Mr. Xu, can the price be more favorable?"

Mr. Xu suggested, "We have a package deal.

Would you consider it?"

"Package deal? What is that?"

Mr. Xu explained, "The package deal is simple.

You only need to pay one hundred thousand USD to get one set of Cloud Crossbow III plus two sets of Cloud Crossbow II.

This way, each package can save twenty thousand USD."

As soon as Master Hassan heard this, he immediately understood the benefits: not only did it save money, but the quantity was also guaranteed, which would greatly help his work.

"Deal! I want five thousand packages."
