Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

"Your Highness, if you want to buy an armored cruiser from our country, it's not impossible, but you also know that the current Arrogance-class and Gayden-class armored cruisers are some of the best warships in the world."

"So, this price..." Before Andrew could finish his words, he was interrupted by Lin Yi with a wave of his hand.

"Dear Ambassador Andrew, it seems that you haven't figured out the situation yet."

"The current batch of warships are all prisoners of my Daxia. According to the usual practice, I can not pay a penny for these warships!"

"It's just that because of the good reputation of John and Gaul, I am willing to pay this amount of money. I hope Ambassador Andrew will consider it carefully before making any decision." Lin Yi raised his head and looked at Andrew.

When Andrew heard what Lin Yi said, although he was so angry that he wanted to beat Lin Yi to death, he also knew that now he could only choose to be manipulated by him.

"Prince Rui is joking. I just want to say that our two countries are friendly. How about these warships be priced at [-] million imperial silver dollars?" Andrew said with a smile.

When Lin Yi heard the price, he remained calm on the surface, but his eyes looked at Li Fu beside him intentionally or unintentionally.

At this time, although Li Fu's face was still calm, Lin Yi could see the surprise in Li Fu's heart from his eyes.

Li Fu turned his head slightly, lowered his voice, and said in Lin Yi's ear: "Your Majesty, this offer is nearly [-] million imperial silver dollars cheaper than our normal purchase."

Lin Yi curled his lips when he heard Li Fu's words. He had just checked the cost of the Arrogance-class and Gayden-class armored cruisers through the system.

Not to mention other ships, the two largest warships cost only 280 million imperial silver dollars, and the two ships together only cost 560 million imperial silver dollars.

As for the entire coalition fleet, except for these two battleships that can be put on the table, the rest are just old and small boats.

With such quality, you dare to sell it to yourself for [-] million imperial silver dollars? Have you really taken yourself for granted?

What's even more irritating is that this Li Fu seems to have gotten a huge advantage and is extremely happy.

However, Lin Yi seemed to have forgotten that Daxia did not have strong shipbuilding capabilities. All warships before Daxia were purchased from Western countries, which also made Western countries habitually take Daxia as their scapegoat.

If you don't double or triple the price of a better, newer warship, who will sell it to you?

A new warship that has just been launched will be sold by other shipyards unless the price is increased tenfold?

A Barbarian-class armored cruiser costs 280 million imperial silver dollars to build. If I don't sell it to you for 2000 million imperial silver dollars, it will be a loss!

Now Andrew is packing two new armored cruisers to Daxia for only [-] million imperial silver dollars. It can only be said that he has a conscience.

But Lin Yi didn't know all this. He only felt that in the system, the cost of building a brand new Barbarian class was only 280 million imperial silver dollars.

No matter how sinister a businessman is, he can just sell it at double the price, unlike Andrew, who directly sells it several times.

As a result, Lin Yi slapped the coffee table in front of him and looked at Andrew with an angry expression.

"Mr. Andrew! Do you think this king is stupid? Like those idiots responsible for purchasing military supplies?"

"One of your brand-new Arrogance-class ships only costs 280 million Imperial silver dollars. How much does two ships cost? Now you want to sell me [-] million Imperial silver dollars for some scrap metal. Do you think I'm a fool?"

"Or, Mr. Andrew, are you challenging my bottom line? Do you believe that I will give an order now to let all the people in the prison camp go to see God!"

"Yes! Mr. Andrew, you did this to my brother! The worst is, I, Daxia, will fight to the bitter end with your John and Gaul kingdoms!"

"I, Daxia, have hundreds of millions of people! I don't believe that you, John, and the two countries of Gaul can eat them!"

Although the prince Zhao Xi on the side did not understand these things very well, he understood that his cousin was angry. As a cousin, he had to support his cousin no matter what.

Hearing what Lin Yi and Zhao Xi said, the three people present, whether it was Andrew, Alex, or Li Fu, were all stunned.

Andrew and Alex even looked at each other and confirmed that the price they had just quoted was fifteen million imperial silver dollars, not fifty-five million.

Li Fu on the side quickly reached out to Lin Yi, then leaned against Lin Yi's ear and said eagerly: "Your Majesty, let's not make trouble, the price is already very low."

"According to the previous price, these battleships cannot be bought even for [-] million imperial silver dollars!"

Hearing Li Fu's words, Lin Yi turned his head in surprise and looked at Li Fu.

"So expensive? I heard that the Barbarian-level cost only [-] million imperial silver dollars."

"Oh, my lord, the construction cost is the construction cost, and the selling price is the selling price. How can anyone doing business in this world use the construction cost as the selling price?"

"Besides, the Arrogant class and the Gayden class are the latest armored cruisers from both countries. These are good things that even money could not buy before."

"Although the Barbarian level has some damage, it is not difficult to repair. We can repair it in Daxia."

"As long as these things are repaired, they will become two battleships, which can greatly strengthen our coastal defense power in Daxia!" Li Fu said eagerly, fearing that Lin Yi would lose his temper again and end up not selling John Kingdom. .

When Lin Yi heard Li Fu's words, no matter how thick-skinned he was, he still felt a little hot.

Lin Yi didn't know that the cost was not equal to the selling price. In his mind, he had already doubled the cost of the Barbarian level and regarded it as the selling price.

But now after hearing Li Fu's words, he realized that this kind of technological crystallization that requires a very high industrial foundation really cannot be bought with money.

It can be said that the blockade of these things by Western countries has gone to the extreme.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi could only lament that Daxia's industrial foundation was too weak to build such a large warship by himself.

However, Lin Yi is also confident that Daxia will have these things. He believes that Daxia will return to the top of the world sooner or later with a man like him with a system.

However, these words are a little far-fetched. The most important thing now is to buy these battleships.

Although Lin Yi already knew that Andrew did not quote a high price, it could even be said that he was selling those warships in a package.

But Lin Yi didn't plan to increase the price. He still felt that [-] million imperial silver dollars was a bit expensive.

"Mr. Andrew, you have to know that these battleships are in my hands now. Originally, I didn't have to pay a penny."

"But who said we are friendly states? We can't let our friends from Daxia accompany me and yell at Daxia for me."

"In this way, I am not a stingy person. You said [-] million imperial silver dollars are not unacceptable, but I need you to keep some officers to train my people for me."

"Of course, I am willing to pay them, what do you think?" Lin Yi looked at Andrew and said slowly.

Although Lin Yi's expression was casual, Andrew knew that since Lin Yi said this, he would not be allowed to refute.

In other words, if you agree, you agree. If you don’t agree, you have to agree!
