Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 338 The equipment of my battalion.
"Sister Bai Ling, is it really not possible to discuss further about whether we can continue to have more comprehensive exchanges and deepen our cooperation?"

"We are truly sincere. If you feel the support is insufficient, or if there's anything you're not satisfied with, just let us know!"

"As long as it's within our capabilities, we'll do our best to meet your requirements without hesitation!"

Yes, even though Ximen Lang has made it clear that the Sijiu City World side will never agree to Xia Yiyi's request under any circumstances.

Faced with unimaginable profits and the interests of her country, Xia Yiyi still wanted to try one more time to see if things would take a turn for the better.

However, some things simply cannot be changed by simply trying.

Especially when it comes to the sovereignty issue of Beijing, which is absolutely non-negotiable and impossible to negotiate.

Even if you talk until you create a hole in the sky, it still won't work!
Therefore, there is no solution to this problem.

Like Xia Yiyi, even though Bai Ling's heart was bleeding, she still immediately reiterated her clear stance and conveyed her bottom line completely.

"We are also very sincere and have a strong desire to have in-depth discussions with you and strengthen cooperation in all aspects."

"But the issue of sovereignty cannot be discussed, and absolutely no concessions can be made! I know that this might give the impression that we are being ungrateful."

"But there's nothing we can do. We can discuss anything, except this! We can compromise on anything, except this!"

"So... I'm very sorry. We have to reluctantly decline your generous offer of assistance. Or..."

Changing the subject, Bai Ling, who, like Xia Yiyi, also felt heartbroken and couldn't bear to see so much aid slip away, couldn't help but say.

"Let's all take a few steps back."

Then, she couldn't continue after only getting halfway through her sentence.

Why?

I'm sorry!

Unlike later generations who lacked nothing and had everything, in the world of Beijing, there were only a few valuable, presentable, respectable, and acceptable things.
In this situation, what can Bai Ling do besides repeatedly lowering her bottom line and giving up more of her core interests, or even sovereign interests?
We can't really treat them like they're running a charity, can we?

The key is that Xia Yiyi looks shrewd; she doesn't seem like a sucker at all!
Furthermore, Bai Ling, Ximen Lang, and even the entire Sijiu City World kept the prospect of a full-scale invasion of Sijiu City World a closely guarded secret, fearing that once they actually entered, they would be out of a job.
Therefore, instead of talking about things that are bound to make everyone feel awkward, it's better to keep quiet, focus on the present, and continue to maintain this tacit understanding.

Just as the conversation reached a stalemate and both sides fell silent.

Feeling that it was finally time for him to reappear in the public eye and return to the center of the world, Simon Lang decisively stepped forward.

The familiar big face immediately took up the entire screen.

Following up on the previous conversation, Ximen Lang not only eased the awkward atmosphere between the two but also offered sincere advice.

"Focusing on the present is a brilliant move, you know? It's not scary to have conflicts and disagreements. Just like Ling said, if there's a problem, we can just solve it."

"But what if the conflict is too big to be resolved in a short time? What should we do then? Same old rule, put it aside for now!"

"Let's leave this issue here for now, and resolve it gradually after both sides have met their respective demands to varying degrees and reached a consensus!"

"As for now... believe it or not, Yi Yi, I actually have a favor to ask you! That is to quickly find a way to get me another full set of guard equipment, I really need it urgently!" Ximen Lang's sudden words really startled Xia Yi Yi, who was completely unaware of what was going on.

The goods had just been transported there, and in less than half a day, the weapons and equipment were all gone.

Xia Yiyi raised her voice eight octaves, finding it hard to keep up.

"What? I also need to get you a full set of equipment for your guard? That's the equipment for an entire combined arms battalion! Connect it to the military network, and with the artillery support from the rear, it'll be a proper heavy combined arms battalion!"

"Even without these things, in a relatively underdeveloped area, it would be enough to easily crush a small country! You say you'll send another one, and then another one comes? What about the original ones? What about the equipment for the battalion I just gave you? Did you eat it?!"

"of course not!"

"No? Then what about the equipment for my entire battalion?"

While seemingly sending an inquiry to Ximen Lang, Xia Yiyi's gaze remained fixed on Bai Ling.

This put immense pressure on Bai Ling.

Originally, Bai Ling was already quite upset because Xia Yiyi was the one who had to ask her for help in so many things in the world of Beijing, which made her afraid to act like a proper girlfriend.

Now, the shrewd and clever girl has seen through it all at a glance.

Although it was indeed true that Ximen Lang acted voluntarily, they still ended up giving him the benefits.

Therefore, Ximen Lang was so stumped by Xia Yiyi's questions that he didn't know how to answer them.

Knowing that she had to give Xia Yiyi an explanation, Bai Ling prayed silently.
"I hope the leaders will have the face to do so."

On the other hand, Bai Ling, who knew that this matter could not be hidden from Ximen Lang, spoke first and answered.

"The equipment from that battalion is still there, but Ah Lang specifically asked me to give it to my elders. It's along with those sets of state guest motorcade equipment that I specifically asked you to help buy."

Now, it was Xia Yiyi's turn to be embarrassed.

Goodness, his face turned a deep liver color from holding it in!

If you look closely, it even has a touch of flush!
Then, thanks to Bai Ling's intervention, Ximen Lang, who had quickly calmed down as if he had found his backbone, immediately picked up where Bai Ling left off and began to exert his strength.

"Yi-yi, although I decided to give these things to our elders, you can't speak ill of them just because of the equipment of this whole battalion! That's absolutely unacceptable!"

"At worst, I'll give you a larger share of the profits in future transactions! I'll give you as much as you want, and you can even do whatever you want with me! But if you dare to speak ill of these elders, that's absolutely unacceptable!"

Xia Yi was so speechless that she wanted to strangle Ximen Lang, that big mouth!

Then, Xia Yiyi demonstrated her stance by taking concrete actions, revealing a scale ten or even a hundred times larger than Ximen Lang had imagined.

"Since it's a gift for our elders, how can we only have one N701?! We need at least two, otherwise how can we manage them?!"
