Chapter 245 You want to die! (Second update!)
There are three great joys in life.

Long drought meets rain.

Meeting an old friend in a foreign land.

He'll get promoted, make a fortune, and his wife will die.

Hearing your native language in a foreign country should be a joyous occasion, but Amir felt no joy at all.

Because the person speaking was someone he originally thought knew very little about Iran.

He had originally planned to take advantage of the information gap to get something from the other party.

But now, the other person was speaking fluent Persian and was looking at him with a gentle expression.

This doesn't seem like a lack of understanding of Iran at all.

After a few seconds of stunned silence, Amir quickly composed himself, nodded slightly to Lin Yi, and replied in Persian:

"Mr. Lin, it's better to meet you in person than to have heard so much about you. I've long admired you."

He wanted to exchange pleasantries, and Lin Yi was naturally happy to relax as well.

Small talk is nothing more than mutual flattery; if the other party is willing to pay, then you'll just keep them entertained.

Lin Yi led the man into the office and seated him on the sofa. He immediately began to flatter him: "I've been hearing my colleagues talk about Mr. Amir lately. I've heard that Mr. Amir is a general who came out of the Iran-Iraq War. My admiration for him is like a surging river, never-ending."

"I'd like to treat Mr. Amir to a good meal later. I also ask Mr. Amir to give this greenhorn, who has spent his whole life doing research in an ivory tower, a chance."

"An opportunity to learn about the Iran-Iraq War, Iran, and Iraq."

Everyone loves to hear compliments. As Lin Yi praised him, Amir's furrowed brows relaxed, and his smile gradually softened, turning into one of smugness.

His gaze as he looked around held a hint of disdain.

Noticing this subtle change in him, Lin Yi sneered inwardly, lowered his head, and continued making tea.

Soon, Lin Yi brought a cup of sweetened black tea to Amir.
“Mr. Amir, come and try this special blend of black tea.”

"It contains tea leaves from Guizhou Province, sugar cubes from Guangxi Province, and local milk. Under high temperature and after stirring, these three different substances collide to create an unparalleled deliciousness."

Upon receiving the specially blended black tea, Amir fell in love with the aroma the moment he took a whiff.

Adding milk and sugar to black tea is a common practice in England.

Historically, Persia, the predecessor of Iran, was not a colony of England, but it was indeed influenced by England.

After taking two sips of milk tea, Amir put it down, looked up, and stared at Lin Yi with a serious expression:

"Mr. Lin, this time, besides the so-called communication cooperation, we have another idea. I wonder if Mr. Lin has any thoughts on it?"

idea?

No!

The only reason I'm sitting here peacefully with you bunch of idiots is because of money. If I didn't have money, I would have been thrown out the moment I stepped through the door.

He was internally ranting, but Lin Yi didn't show it on his face. He was holding a teapot, and when he heard Amir's words, he stopped perfectly.

After a few seconds of stunned silence, he brought the teapot in his hand closer to Amir's teacup.

The milk tea in the teacup was refilled.

Both of them behaved normally.

After taking another sip of his tea, Amir spoke again:
“We have plenty of money, a hundred million or two hundred million, two or three billion, even hundreds of billions, we can support it.”

“We are willing to do anything as long as Mr. Lin is willing to cooperate with us.”

After saying this, Lin Yi finally put down the teapot in his hand and turned to look at Amir.

The Iranian man had a resolute expression, his eyes fixed on him without blinking, as if he would immediately agree to all the conditions the other party had asked for if he agreed.

When Lin Yi looked at Amir, Amir also looked at him, and their eyes met.

A very pure eye contact.

After a moment, Lin Yi shook his head:

"If you want to die, don't drag me down with you!"

"Our cooperation this time will stop at communication equipment; don't even think about anything else."

"Understand?"

His tone was very gentle, but his words were full of undeniable authority.

After saying this, Lin Yi took out a map and a document from the cabinet next to him and placed them together in front of Amir:
"The document contains detailed parameters of our company's communication base stations. Please take a look."

"After you've reviewed the detailed parameters of the communication base station, look at the map and mark the built-up area and population of the cities that need the base station."

"Let me see what the best way to do it is."

Seeing that the topic had been diverted, Amir could only close his eyes and sigh helplessly.

There's nothing we can do. When power is stronger than others, we have no initiative and are naturally at a disadvantage. Others are unlikely to relinquish the initiative to us, as that would be too pointless.

He picked up the document and opened the cover.

The first page of the cover shows the actual communication base station itself. It has an ordinary design and doesn't look particularly remarkable or ugly.

Behind this image is a camouflaged image of a communication base station.

Some were disguised as streetlights, some as large trash cans, and some were simply disguised as billboards.

Looking at these disguised communication base stations, Amir couldn't help but tilt his head and begin to recall the situation back home.

Disguising communication base stations is meant to prevent imposters, but Iran doesn't have that many imposters, so there's no need for camouflage.

That money can be saved.

Purchase more base stations...

Amir's thoughts suddenly stopped, his pale blue eyes fixed on the next page of the document.

The title of this new page is the coverage area of ​​the communication base station.

On this page, Amir saw a number that terrified him.

[Xuanwu Communication Base Station, signal strength increased by 500%.]

The densely populated area has a coverage radius of 2.5 kilometers.

15 kilometers from the average urban area.

Suburbs, 35 kilometers away.

Rural area, 75 kilometers.

Extremely open terrain, 150 kilometers.

As the person in charge of this negotiation, Amir was very familiar with the signal base station and related information parameters.

In telecommunications engineering, when users access the internet through base stations, it's like many people sharing a single water pipe; whoever twists the pipe a little more over their own head will get more water.

The same applies to accessing the internet via a base station.

Whether a place is considered a densely populated area is mainly determined by the flow of people.

If a place can easily gather tens of thousands of people, and these tens of thousands of people are densely packed together and using the internet like crazy, then it is considered a densely populated area.

Otherwise, it can only be considered an ordinary urban area.

In such densely populated areas, where large numbers of people frequently access the internet, the actual signal coverage of a base station is usually only a few hundred meters. However, he now saw a communication base station that could cover 2.5 kilometers even in a densely populated area.

Even in sparsely populated areas, the signal coverage of this device is rapidly expanding.

Let's look at the last one.

More than 100 kilometers!
Are you kidding?
Amir wanted to laugh, but he couldn't, because he remembered the purpose of his trip to China.

Upgrade the communication network.

The thought of having to ask people from other countries for help to upgrade my communication network, from equipment customization to final installation, is unbearable.

Let's turn our attention to Iran.

Nothing can be done!
In that instant, he felt a sense of powerlessness wash over him.

At that moment, I didn't even have the desire to speak.

After staring at the data on the document for a while, until the feeling of helplessness in his heart dissipated, Amir finally placed the document in front of Lin Yi:
"Mr. Lin, could you tell me if the parameters in this file are accurate?"

After saying that, Amir probably realized his words weren't quite right, so he quickly added, "What I meant was, how are densely populated areas calculated?"

"Because it's just too incredible."

"According to the data we have, even low-frequency 2G signal base stations have a coverage range of about 1 kilometer in densely populated areas."

"You have a 3G signal base station 2.5 kilometers away. To be honest, I can't believe it."

"Believe it or not, it's up to you!" Lin Yi tapped his finger on the map beside him, offering no explanation, and continued:

"According to the annotation information I just mentioned."

"I need to reassess and recalculate the required signal base stations."

"Understand?"

After Lin Yi said that, Abier nodded hurriedly, "Understood! Of course I understand!"

An increased coverage area of ​​signal base stations means that the number of signal base stations can be reduced within the same area.

A reduction in the number of signal base stations means a reduction in funding.

Alternatively, the money spent on signal base stations could be used elsewhere.

In short, it was very profitable.

Taking the pen from Lin Yi, Amir began racking his brains, trying to recall the population of various important cities in Iran, as well as the approximate population distribution per unit area, while looking at the map.

He wrote one down, and Lin Yi calculated one in his mind.

After visiting several cities, he found that, apart from Tehran, the other cities in Iran were just ordinary urban areas.

Because these cities do not have a high population density.

Even in the capital Tehran, only the core area has a population density exceeding 2 people per square kilometer.

The surrounding area has a population density of approximately 1.2 people per square kilometer.

The remaining cities, such as Mashhad, the second largest city, have a population density that barely exceeds 8000 people per square kilometer.

As for the remaining cities like Isfahan, their population density has just exceeded 5000 people per square kilometer.

Compared to most coastal cities in China, this is nothing.

After calculating the capacity of each base station, Lin Yi tapped his fingers on the table and said softly, "Recalculate the number of base stations you need yourself."

"Let's calculate it first."

After giving his instructions, Lin Yi turned around, picked up the brewed milk tea, poured himself a cup, and then sat down to drink it leisurely.

As for Amir, he used that document to recalculate the number of communication base stations needed on the map.

This calculation took a full two hours.

Two hours later, he calculated the number of new communication base stations.

It's less than previously expected, much less.

If the price of the communication base stations in Lin Yi's possession is the same as the price of other base stations, then they can save at least half the money this time.

The initial budget was about $9 million. If we cut it in half, that would be $4.5 million.

If that $4.5 million were used on the proxies under the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, their fighting capabilities could be further enhanced.

With that thought in mind, Amir composed himself and handed the calculated data to Lin Yi: "Mr. Lin, please take a look!"

After receiving the new list of communication base stations, Lin Yi glanced at it casually and calculated the approximate total price in his mind.

Compared to the total price Hao Jin mentioned, the total price calculated at his own price was about $1.9 million less.

The thought of losing his green dollars made Lin Yi feel uneasy. With a quick thought, he adjusted the ex-factory price of his communication base stations according to the quantity.

After adjustments, the total price of this batch of communication base stations remained at US$8.5 million.

He immediately took out his phone and secretly sent a message to Ji Shuangshuang.

Immediately afterwards, in front of Amir, he pretended to pick up his phone and redial Ji Shuangshuang:
"Mr. Ji, could you please contact the workshop and have them send over a list of equipment installation costs?"

Less than 10 minutes after hanging up the phone, Ji Shuangshuang knocked on the door of the meeting room. She walked in with a stern face, put down the bill in her hand, and then quickly turned and left.

After closing the door, Lin Yi grabbed the expense sheet and checked it from top to bottom to make sure there were no errors or omissions in the procedures before placing it in front of Amir.
"Mr. Amir, this is our equipment installation cost sheet."

"It contains detailed information on payment items, payment amounts, and corresponding procedures. Take a look."

Seeing the thick bill of installation costs, Amir couldn't help but swallow hard.

With trembling hands, he took the installation cost sheet and began to recalculate the cost according to his own needs.

The more he calculated, the colder his heart became.

Another hour passed, and he finally calculated the final total price.

$8.573 million, lower than their initial budget, but higher than the total price Hao Jin initially offered them.

Putting down his pen, Amir turned around and stared at Lin Yi with a serious expression: "Mr. Lin, we can give you this cooperation directly."

"However, we have additional conditions!"

"Our additional condition is that we need something else!"

Hearing this guy say he needed some other things again, Lin Yi rolled his eyes.

He tapped his fingers lightly on the table and said in a cold voice, "I think you really want to die!"

"As I just said, our cooperation is limited to communication equipment."

“Your foundation is weak, what you need now is to improve your foundation, instead of thinking about those irrelevant things all day long.”

"If you want something, I can give it to you."

"But what can you do with this?"

"With your kind of character, would you dare to attack Israel? Would you dare to attack America's aircraft carrier?"

"Don't dare!"

"No, why would you need those things?"

"And aren't you afraid that I'll give you something one minute, and then have America report me the next?"
