7: Chapter 7: Negotiations to be arranged in three days

After resting for a moment, Mannila hurriedly contacted Li Yi.

At this time, Li Yi was still preparing documents for various offshore companies.

There weren't many documents, but they required filling in all sorts of details, which was quite tedious.

With no one to help, he had to do it all himself.

After connecting the call, Mannila's heavy Iran accent came through.

"Manager Li, I am currently in Syria, and I have already contacted the person in charge of the overseas headquarters of the Persian Lion State National Guard."

Li Yi hurriedly asked, "Is there any result? Does the Iran military need the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile?"

"They have an intention to purchase, but they need to negotiate with you in person."

Li Yi knew that for an arms deal like this, it was impossible to settle it with just one phone call.

In-person negotiations were unavoidable.

However, he hadn't finished setting up the offshore company yet, so there was no way to complete the arms deal right now.

After considering for a moment, Li Yi said, "Where do you plan to negotiate?"

"Can you come to the capital of Syria, Damascus?"

"Could we change it to Beirut? The situation in Syria is not very safe right now."

Beirut is the capital of Lebanon, a neighboring country of Syria, and it is not very far from Damascus.

Mannila understood Li Yi's concern about the situation in Syria.

"I need to communicate with the person in charge from Iran before I can give you an answer."

Li Yi also gave the time he would arrive, saying, "I will arrive in Beirut in three days. I hope to arrange the negotiations as soon as possible."

"I will contact you after I coordinate everything."

Mannila was quite satisfied that Li Yi was willing to come so quickly, and the next step was to communicate the negotiation matters with Major General Rahim.

The next day, Li Yi rushed to the office location of the Shenzhen branch of Ruifeng Business Consulting Company early in the morning.

The office space rented by Ruifeng Company was not large, only occupying more than half of the floor.

The rest of the floor belonged to another company, which was in the foreign trade industry.

After Li Yi contacted Lin Shan, she quickly went to greet him, saying as they walked, "Business at the Shenzhen branch isn't very busy right now. Since you came today, we can prepare the paperwork for those two offshore companies very quickly."

Li Yi looked at the personnel in the entire office area; there weren't many, and there was no scene of busyness.

It seemed the poor economic situation had also affected Ruifeng Company's business.

In the conference room, Lin Shan and her two colleagues checked various documents Li Yi had prepared, while Li Yi watched them work while sipping tea.

After a while, Lin Shan said, "The documents are basically complete. Manager Li, do you wish to process this through the normal procedure, or do you want to expedite it?"

"How long does it take to set up an offshore company through the normal procedure?"

"It takes about half a month, and at most no more than a month."

Half a month was too long; Li Yi did not want it to take that long to finish setting up the offshore company.

"If expedited, what is the shortest time it can be completed?"

"The shortest time is three days. Of course, opening a bank account needs to be done after the offshore company is established, which requires a longer time."

"Then let's expedite it."

"If processed through the emergency procedure, the fees will be higher. For Hong Kong, it costs 20,000 yuan, and for the Cayman Islands, it costs 80,000 yuan."

"The cost is not an issue." Li Yi only needed to complete the offshore company registration faster now.

Lin Shan took out several agreements, declarations, and other documents, handed them to Li Yi, and said, "Please sign these documents, and after you go pay the fees, we will be basically done."

Li Yi took a look; they were various power of attorney forms, agency agreements, etc. After carefully reading them, he found no issues.

Under Lin Shan's guidance, Li Yi finished signing all the documents and then went to pay the required fee of 100,000 yuan.

After being busy for half a day, Li Yi finally let out a sigh of relief, having finished everything.

Lin Shan was quite happy to have secured this business.

During this time, she also wanted to introduce Li Yi to the person in charge of Ruifeng Company's Shenzhen branch, but Li Yi had no interest and declined.

After all, the arms trade he was engaged in was just using the offshore company as a cover; he wouldn't actually conduct business on a large scale through the offshore company.

Over the next two days, Li Yi used the Multiverse Arms Trading System to familiarize himself with the various operational skills of the Tianlei Type IV Anti-Aircraft Missile.

The Tianlei Type IV Anti-Aircraft Missile is equipped with a ground-based radar, which can warn and track incoming fighter jets or missiles, and can also participate in ground-to-air communication with the launched missiles to change the locked attack target.

The entire anti-aircraft missile launch vehicle can provide transportation, protection, and launch missions for the missiles.

The ground-based radar and combat control system are integrated together, allowing for the convenient launch of anti-aircraft missiles.

It can be said that the Tianlei Type IV Anti-Aircraft Missile can achieve rapid target searching, has strong tracking capabilities, a very short reaction time, and can quickly lock onto targets and shoot them down.

Li Yi watched the simulated operation process; basically, three to five people could complete the missile launch mission.

If preparations were made in advance, one person could complete the operation, it just wouldn't be easy to relocate in time.

Mannila communicated with Major General Rahim. Major General Rahim wanted the arms dealer to come directly to the Glass House for negotiations, but after Mannila laid out the pros and cons, he dispelled this idea and agreed to negotiate in Beirut.

As the capital of Lebanon, Beirut had relatively good relations with Syria, so there wouldn't be too many issues regarding safety.

Major General Rahim was quite reassured about sending people to Beirut, as long as concealment work was done well.

Major General Rahim entrusted one of his deputies, Lieutenant Colonel Haidari, to go with Mannila for the negotiations, and required Lieutenant Colonel Haidari to report the negotiation situation to him in real-time, allowing him to decide the direction and progress of the negotiations at any time.

After Mannila verified the specific time and location of the negotiations with Li Yi, both sides began to make various preparations.

Li Yi was going alone; after all, he had no one else he could trust right now.

Since the Multiverse Arms Trading System provided a teleportation function that could teleport directly to any place on Blue Star, Li Yi directly avoided the trouble of exiting the country.

He didn't need to process various procedures for going abroad, and didn't need to show up at the airport to expose himself.

Of course, the most critical thing was not having to waste money buying plane tickets.

Li Yi had already spent 300,000 yuan, and his savings were about to hit bottom.

He didn't need to prepare anything else.

Anyway, he had already provided the Tianlei series documents to Mannila, so preparing another set of detailed documents now would suffice.

At most, he would just learn about the anti-aircraft missile situation in Iran, and adapt on the spot to judge the urgency of the Iran military's demand for anti-aircraft missiles.
