Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 336 Peace is Paramount!

Originally, after Xia Yiyi's various demands, including those concerning the sovereignty of Beijing, were so decisively rejected, Bai Ling and Lao Luo thought that the plan to import Type 022 missile boats from the future had also fallen through along with the breakdown of the negotiations.

But unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better!
Bai Ling immediately became excited.

"Really? After something like this happened, can we really continue negotiating the acquisition of the Type 022 missile boats? Will she come up with another demand that we can't accept?"

Seeing that Bai Ling was looking down on people by peeking through the crack in the door.

Although Ximen Lang also felt that Xia Yiyi's demand to immediately seize control of almost all the lifelines of the capital city was somewhat excessive.
But let’s put things in perspective!
When someone asks for a high price, their offer is also high!
"Look at the level of support she's providing! You don't have to do anything; you can just lie at home and run faster than Shit-ying and Low-B-mei!"

"With this level of support, go ask around the entire city of Beijing, who else can offer such generous treatment and a fair price?!"

"That's definitely not the case. Not only is it not found in Beijing, but even decades from now, it will still be extremely rare in the world!"

“Yes!”

After saying "yes," Ximen Lang continued.

"The price was as fair as it gets, and there was no bullying or deliberate harassment of you during the process."

"Everything they do is perfectly legitimate. Before I came, they repeatedly reminded me that it was okay if I disagreed!"

"Even if the deal falls through, we can still be friends. It won't affect our deep friendship. We've even prepared several generous gifts to appease you!"

"She's so upright and honest! And you, behind her back, are the first to doubt her character! What am I supposed to say about you?! How can you be like this?!"

Bai Ling was so sprayed that she couldn't even lift her head.

Then, changing the subject, Ximen Lang continued.

"Of course, on the other hand, no matter how inferior the Type 022 missile boat is, it can't compare to the conditions promised before! After all, it's a strategic-level piece of equipment, and it involves our strategic secrets!"

"Just based on this alone, its price will definitely not be cheap! Especially in a place like ours where technology is relatively backward, its value is immeasurable!"

"So, there will definitely be some conditions. But it's much better than constantly involving sovereignty!"

"But just like before when we gave up the seed market in exchange for food security, this is definitely unavoidable. After all, they're not running a charity over there."

"Do you understand what I'm saying?"

Bai Ling and Lao Luo could certainly understand this.

It's not just about understanding; in order to obtain this batch of strategic-level Type 022 missile boats more smoothly from the future, last night, under the leadership of the higher-ups, Lao Luo even convened a group of experts from various fields to discuss countermeasures overnight!

The meeting room lights stayed on until the next morning before the meeting finally came to an end.

Therefore, Bai Ling and Lao Luo were already mentally prepared for Ximen Lang's statement that he would inevitably pay a heavy price.

Even the question of which benefits to concede has been largely clarified after rounds of heated debate.

But as the saying goes, everything has its limits.

If Xia Yiyi doesn't make exorbitant demands, and as Ximen Lang said, the cost is entirely within the tolerance range of the Four Nine Cities world, then it would be best if a deal could be reached in one go and the matter settled as soon as possible. However, if her conditions exceed the Four Nine Cities world's capacity to bear them...
Of course, we have to continue the talks!

In any case, the world of Beijing will not easily miss this rare opportunity to protect its territorial waters!
It's at this time.
Then it's anyone's guess how long it will drag on.

Fortunately, the pressure from the sea is not as great as we imagined.

So, I'm both anxious and not anxious.

Having already built up her anger, Bai Ling patiently continued speaking, following Ximen Lang's train of thought.

"It's alright, that's how business is. Even if brothers are partners in a small business, they still have to keep clear accounts, let alone a business as big as ours."

What if there are disagreements?

"If there's a disagreement, let's work together to resolve it as soon as possible. One of us genuinely wants to buy, and the other genuinely wants to sell; we're both here to discuss cooperation with the utmost sincerity. With this solid foundation, what's a little disagreement? If there's a disagreement, just resolve it, right?"

His positive and optimistic attitude completely dispelled any doubts Simon Lang had.

"It's good that you understand this, Bai Ling! It's good that you understand this! Isn't that right? We're now working together! With this foundation, what problem can't we solve?"

He immediately showered Bai Ling with compliments, making her feel a little embarrassed.

Ximen Lang also took the opportunity to give Bai Ling a heads-up.

"Don't worry, Yi-yi isn't unreasonable, much less someone who takes advantage of others' misfortunes! She's very sensible and would never make unreasonable demands that would put you in a difficult position or embarrass everyone."

"Otherwise, that would be disrespecting you, and disrespecting you is disrespecting me! If she really dares to do that, I will criticize her ten or a hundred times more severely than when I criticized you! I will definitely teach her a lesson, so you can rest assured!"

After saying that, he took out his phone and connected to the network of the future through the small portal that Ximen Lang had specially opened for him, which connected the world of Beijing with the future.

He wrote furiously, taking advantage of the moment when he was chatting idly with Bai Ling and the others, Ximen Lang succinctly explained to Xia Yi the firm attitude of Bai Ling and the others, as well as the series of events that had just occurred.

She truly treated them equally and genuinely didn't want the two of them to develop any misunderstandings or irreparable consequences due to information asymmetry.

He truly used both his hands and his mouth to remind the two of each other again and again that everything can be discussed and that they should never let a few words or disagreements ruin their harmony.

We must always prioritize harmony!

Bai Ling and Xia Yi were so annoyed by this that they couldn't stand it anymore.

Ximen Lang then nervously reconnected the video call between the world of Beijing and the future.

Then, before Ximen Lang could smooth things over or say anything to ease the awkward atmosphere, he didn't even get a chance to do so.

Bai Ling bypassed Ximen Lang and said something provocatively.

"I thought you were really capable, but you couldn't even use your chance. What a waste of my good intentions!"
