Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 315 Even brothers should keep clear accounts!

"The Type 022, that's a Type 022 missile boat that can pose a threat to aircraft carriers, and it involves strategic secrets! It would be a sin to let anyone even glance at such a national weapon!"

"Who doesn't treasure something and hide it away, never showing it to others easily? And you actually have designs on it? Do you think that's going to work?"

In the world of Beijing, at the Special Operations Detachment Command, upon hearing that Ximen Lang's purpose for this trip was actually for such a powerful weapon...

After frowning and thinking for a while, Lao Luo immediately shook his head with a bitter expression, having given up all hope.

Because if you judge others by your own standards, what if you yourself held such a super weapon?
Even if he were his biological father, he would never give this to him for no reason!

I wouldn't even give him a second glance!
Otherwise, it would be irresponsible to the country and the nation!
The world of Beijing was like this, and so it was in later generations.
Not to mention that!
Moreover, this can be seen from their attitude that they would rather spend a lot of money to mothball these Type 022 missile boats, which have become practically useless due to the rapid development of technology, than sell them to others at a high price.

It's simply impossible, so Lao Luo certainly wouldn't have much hope for it.

In fact, Bai Ling shared the same view; she felt the same way.
Unless Xia Yiyi has gone mad, this is basically impossible and not very reliable!

But there's no way around it; the Type 022 missile boat, which can pose a threat to aircraft carriers, is just too tempting!
It smells incredibly good!
Bai Ling had absolutely no resistance to the fragrance!
Even if there's only the slightest chance of it being fragrant, she'll do everything in her power to try it no matter what.

In addition, Ximen Lang himself was also willing to try it out for the world of Beijing and asked Xia Yiyi.

There was absolutely no possibility of refusal; Bai Ling immediately threw herself into the matter with utmost enthusiasm, pushing it forward with all her might.

As for what the losses will be if it fails.
"Really? I don't see any loss. Face? We're so poor, what do we need face for? Compared to the potential gains, what is a little face?"

"Think about it, let's make a bold assumption, what if? What if she really gets persuaded by Ah Lang and agrees, seeing how hard our poor brother's life is? What would our situation be then?"

"It can directly threaten an aircraft carrier fleet! Even in a technologically advanced future, it possesses such power that everyone fears it. Here, it can enter and exit as if it were empty, taking the enemy general's head from among thousands of troops!"

"When that time comes, with J-6 fighters protecting us from above and Type 022 missile boats keeping us at bay, who would dare to take advantage of us? Who would dare to look down on us? We'd scare them to death!"

"If it doesn't work, let's try again! I didn't get a good fight in the past few years, and every time I think of those heroes who sacrificed their lives, it feels like a huge stone is stuck in my heart! This time, I'll beat them until they feel the pain and submit!"

"I'd like to see if they dare to keep whining at us like this!"

After listening to his passionate thoughts, Hao Pingchuan, a spirited young man, immediately stood up.

Ignoring Lao Luo's death stare, he clenched his fist and gave a compliment.

"Bai Ling! Well said! I support you!"

He even retorted to Lao Luo in a completely different way.

"Old Luo, even if you look at me again, I still have to say that Bai Ling did the right thing! Compared to the Type 022 missile boat, what's face worth?!"

As for the astronomical price of 100 million per ship
"Compared to aircraft carriers, which cost hundreds of billions or even trillions of dollars, and compared to territorial waters security and national defense security, is this amount of money even worth mentioning?!"

"Just like Brother Lang said, if we don't spend the money on military spending and national defense, are you planning to save it for war reparations?!"

Old Luo rolled his eyes so hard they seemed to reach the sky, but he didn't refute Hao Pingchuan's undeniably correct but ultimately meaningless statement. He picked up the red phone on his desk and, with one call, reported the situation directly.

While Lao Luo was making intensive preparations for this matter, Ximen Lang was also using his silver tongue to try every means to persuade Xia Yiyi, whose attitude was very firm.

Even Xia Yiyi made no attempt to hide her contempt for Ximen Lang.

They even made a direct statement
"Take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror, see if you're really worthy!"

Ximen Lang remained as calm and composed as ever.

They truly lived up to the saying "turn the other cheek."

Without a trace of anything amiss on his face, he continued to strive for the future of Beijing.

"Look at you, so impatient. Everything can be discussed. If you have any different opinions, just say so. If you have any requests, just make them. As long as they can do it, they'll give you whatever you want! We'll have absolutely no questions asked!"

They really went all out for the Type 022 missile boat.

Ximen Lang patted his chest and further stated his position.

"If you have any complaints or requests about me, just say so! Didn't you want me to stay home and not go anywhere for a while? No problem! I'm all yours to take care of, just let me know if you need anything! As long as you don't go too far, it's all up to you! Is that alright? Is that all right?"

Even after he had said all that, Ximen Lang still wouldn't give up.

He grabbed the clothes next to him and threw them directly at Ximen Lang, who was still posing and preening.

"If you want to show off, go do it somewhere else! Don't disgust people here!"

She stood with her arms crossed, staring at Ximen Lang for a while, but in the end, she didn't say anything more hurtful.

Instead, he reasoned with Ximen Lang, appealing to his emotions and logic, to explain why he disagreed.

"Ximen Lang, the Type 022 missile boat is unlike any other; it truly involves our strategic secrets! Whether it's its superior stealth capabilities or the firepower systems it carries, these are the core of our core, the most secret of our secrets!"

“Those countries outside are hoping we'll open the floodgates and sell them the Type 022 missile, no matter the price. But we absolutely refuse to sell, preferring to keep it sealed up rather than let them have it! Why? Isn't it because we're afraid of these secrets being leaked?!”

"So you just open your mouth and think you can sell this stuff over there? It's not that simple! Tell me, is that realistic?"

This left Ximen Lang speechless.

This finally made Ximen Lang realize the difficulty of the matter.

Xia Yiyi concluded.

"So, Simon Lang, it's not that I'm deliberately holding you back or refusing to sell to you. It's just that you haven't grasped the true magnitude of this matter! You think you can just take our 022 for free? How could that be?! Even close brothers have to keep clear accounts! Don't you agree?"
