In today's world, there are many companies that can produce freighters, but only a handful that can produce gunboats.

Because gunboats are warships, their production and manufacturing must undergo extremely strict scrutiny, and most of them are manufactured by state-owned enterprises, although there are exceptions.

And some countries do not have enough economic power and have to sell these military weapons to second-hand arms dealers, who then resell them to earn a price difference.

But no matter how you look at it, anyone who can deal with this kind of thing is a force to be reckoned with!

Li Tianran stroked his chin, his mind racing.

Is it worth offending such a powerful opponent to save resources?

After a few seconds, he gritted his teeth and stomped his foot!

Damn it, so what if it's a warship? I'll eat it anyway!

Come and get me if you dare to cross the border!

He asked Qin Yiming to discuss the price with the other party, while he silently considered the plan.

This kind of transaction definitely can't be within Yanhuang, and it can't be too far from Yanhuang either. Once it gets too close to the other party's territory, it will be difficult for him to get away after double-crossing them.

"Boss, before the Destruction Era, the price of these three helicopters and the gunboat added up to about 100 million EU coins, which is less than two-tenths of the price of our equipment! But now the situation has changed, the price of weapons has increased several times, and the price of construction equipment has fallen a lot."

"The other party is using this as a reason to demand that we acknowledge that the prices of both sides' chips are equivalent, and that we hand over all the equipment to them before they will complete the transaction!"

Li Tianran smiled when he heard this.

As expected, there is nothing good on the dark web, only criminals and profiteers.

Even if his equipment has depreciated, it shouldn't have depreciated so much. Even if the other party's weapons have risen in price, it's impossible for them to have increased so many times!

According to Li Tianran's estimation, half the price of his equipment would be enough to offset the other party's weapons.

But... it doesn't matter, Li Tianran isn't a good guy either!

Anyway, no matter how much the other party wants, Li Tianran doesn't plan to give them anything.

"Press him on the price..." Li Tianran said in a deep voice. Although Li Tianran really wanted to agree quickly, it was obviously not in line with common sense.

The other party would definitely suspect that he had other plans.

Who would agree to such a price without even negotiating?

"The other party should also be testing the waters. The psychological price he can accept should be 70% of the total price of our equipment..." Li Tianran said softly, "Let's talk to him according to this price, and slowly lower it. Don't agree too quickly, it will arouse the other party's vigilance."

This is a very boring and tedious job.

He could clearly agree casually, but he still had to pretend to be a normal transaction and haggle over the price like a tug-of-war.

So, in the next thirty minutes, Qin Yiming and the other party had a long negotiation.

Moreover, Qin Yiming pointed out some of the defects and shortcomings of the other party's batch of goods based on his understanding of military weapons, and cited some examples from actual combat, explaining it extremely professionally, and several times he made the other party speechless.

This level of professionalism obviously made the other party believe more and more that Li Tianran was a real buyer.

Otherwise, who would spend so much effort to understand these things?

In the end, the other party only left a sentence, saying that he was going to apply to the higher-ups and would reply in half an hour.

"Do you think the other party will agree?" Li Tianran asked softly.

"Definitely no problem! Their equipment is not the world's top equipment, and the price we are offering has far exceeded the market price... but the transformation space of these equipment is very large, and it is durable! If we really get these things back, after my transformation, I can increase their firepower by more than 30%!" Qin Yiming's eyes showed an excited light. Obviously, he had a fervent love for these military weapons.

Li Tianran nodded silently.

Time passed quietly.

Twenty minutes later, the other party replied again: "If you give us all the equipment, we will add two more gunboats for you!"

Li Tianran raised his eyebrows, the other party's attitude was very positive!

"Okay!" This time, with the previous groundwork, Qin Yiming agreed very readily.

"Let's agree on a transaction location." The other party replied again.

Soon, the two sides agreed on a transaction location, a no-man's land on the edge of the border between Myanmar and Yanhuang.

The time is... three days later.

After doing all this, the other party proposed to find a middleman to guide the transaction. Both parties would hand over the goods to the middleman for inspection and transportation. In this way, the security of the transaction could also be improved.

Li Tianran agreed very readily.

What the hell is a middleman? It's just something to be dealt with along the way!

As a huge underground trading market, the dark web has many "middleman" roles. Even the controllers of the dark web have launched some "official" candidates for the trading parties to choose from.

This is the underground rule, and both parties to the transaction will abide by it.

Soon, the other party chose a candidate. In this person's profile, he had rich experience as a middleman.

Li Tianran did not express any objection, and the matter was settled extremely smoothly.

…

Myanmar, in a villa.

A man in his forties, wearing a neat suit, looked at the conversation on the computer screen, with a smug smile on his lips.

"Finally, a fat sheep has been hooked!" He laughed loudly.

He was the one who talked about the transaction with Qin Yiming before, and he also had another identity... that is, the "middleman" of the dark web!

He didn't have any warships or armed helicopters at all. He just wanted to swindle Li Tianran's equipment away!

Moreover, he had already found a buyer for these equipment. It was a big warlord in Myanmar. He planned to abandon his identity on the dark web, use this identity to do one last big deal, get Li Tianran's equipment and exchange it for resources, and then take these resources to the EU to live a happy life!

As a local in Myanmar, he had a lot of influence locally. He believed that he could perfectly complete all of this.

"Sorry, this time, I'm going to violate my professional ethics..." He looked at the dialog box on the computer screen, with a smile on his lips: "But there's no way, you're too easy to deceive! I asked you to choose someone, and you really chose someone! I asked you to trade in a certain place, and you really just refuted it a few times... The rhetoric I carefully prepared was completely useless!"

He was laughing loudly.

This transaction is destined to be extremely strange and unexpected.

Two villains who are both preparing to get something for nothing both think they have met a fat sheep.

What kind of expressions will they have when they know the truth?

No one knows.

Time is passing slowly, and only when the day of the transaction arrives will everything be revealed...
