No one knew who had previously sworn their friendship was friendship, and some things were a matter of principle, not to be done.
Everyone looked at Kalena speechlessly.
Women, indeed, were capable of changing their minds in an instant!
"I agree to the patent transfer. We can talk about it slowly when we have time, in our private space," Kalena gave Wang Yu a captivating glance.
However, Wang Yu paid it no mind. He nodded in agreement and then turned his gaze to the others present.
The people from the Ice Bear Kingdom present were all filled with curiosity, their eyes fixed on the documents in Kalena's hand.
What was in the stack of documents Wang Yu had given Kalena that made this notoriously difficult woman agree so readily?
But since neither party intended to say, Kalena had been very secretive when reading the files and had immediately stuffed them into her embrace after finishing. They couldn't just go and take them, could they?
However, one thing was absolutely certain: what Wang Yu had offered must have been extremely valuable for the shrewd Kalena to agree without hesitation.
With Kalena dealt with, Wang Yu shifted his gaze to the others.
Following the examples of Makarov and Kalena, the others no longer concealed their intentions. They each brought out what they considered valuable bargaining chips and directly named their prices, hoping to sell them at a good price.
Yet, Wang Yu pointed out problems with their equipment and technology one by one, cutting their prices accordingly.
If the previous negotiations were like a small knife cutting flesh, then Wang Yu was now wielding a dragon-slaying saber to directly slash prices!
Prices that didn't even amount to a fraction of their worth left the people of the Ice Bear Kingdom looking paler and paler.
But even so, they gritted their teeth and agreed.
After all, they truly had no other options at the moment.
Developed countries wouldn't cooperate with them, and developing countries lacked the financial strength for collaboration. Only someone like Wang Yu, who was neither the best nor the worst, was their best choice!
Never mind, a child selling his father's land doesn't feel the pain. The equipment and technology accumulated by their predecessors seemed insignificant in the face of the problem of survival.
Thus, everyone reached various transaction agreements with Wang Yu at prices comparable to cabbage, along with a large number of orders that could also be considered low-priced.
...
"Gentlemen, it's been a pleasure doing business with you."
After all negotiations were concluded, Wang Yu finally showed a hint of satisfaction.
He had exchanged hundreds of advanced equipment, a large amount of technology, and patents from the people of the Ice Bear Kingdom. For this, the 10 million he won from the bet with Qinglu Group was all spent, along with nearly a hundred million in future installments.
Unknowingly, he had achieved Wu Lingling's small goal. Tsk tsk!
"It's been a pleasure doing business with you!"
The people from the Ice Bear Kingdom also managed to force smiles. Regardless of anything else, although Wang Yu's price negotiation was fierce, it at least gave their factories a chance to survive.
"Our next batch of orders has already been arranged for production at our domestic factories and will be delivered again soon.
When the planes return, they can be used to purchase food and clothing for direct transport back, which will save a lot of time and effort," Makarov said to Wang Yu after some thought.
So that was the reason they directly used combat transport planes?
Wang Yu looked helpless, but their country was in dire straits, so he couldn't say much.
Besides, since they had a way to get approval from their country, what else could Wang Yu say?
Wang Yu thought for a moment and decided to arrange for some of his subordinates to help them purchase and transport food and clothing, offering some assistance.
Both sides were pleased and parted amicably, leaving the conference room.
As soon as Wang Yu stepped out of the conference room, he saw the crowd eagerly waiting for him.
"Haha, it seems Wang has something else to attend to, so we won't bother you further," Andrei said to Wang Yu with a smile, then turned and left with the group from the Ice Bear Kingdom.
Judging by their demeanor, they were likely heading to clear out the stock of Old Bai Gan.
Wang Yu looked at the crowd before him and smiled slightly.
"Everyone, let's talk again."
It was still a conversation, but this time the attitudes and positions of both sides had changed dramatically!
...
"Damn it, do you people have any respect for me as the factory director?"
In the steel mill's director's office, Yang Song was furiously venting his anger. Several factory cadres of various levels stood before him.
Yesterday, Wang Yu and Yamazaki's disregard had infuriated Yang Song.
He was the director and head of the steel mill, holding the power of life and death over everyone. What right did Wang Yu, an outsider, have to make decisions and fulfill the bet agreement with Island Tianyi Steel Company on behalf of the steel mill?
This was overstepping his bounds!
Who did Wang Yu think he was? What authority did he have to make such decisions and take such actions?
Yet, the people from Island actually agreed with Wang Yu, this illegitimate fellow!
He didn't know that the people from Island didn't care if Wang Yu's identity was legitimate to represent the steel mill. They wanted to make an example of him, to punish those who opposed them. It didn't matter who fell into their sights for this purpose.
Yang Song didn't dare to blame the people from Island, so he could only vent all his resentment on Wang Yu and his subordinates.
A string of curses followed, leaving the steel mill personnel present to watch him rage helplessly, all of them lowering their heads in silence.
With the future of the steel mill uncertain, they could only feign loyalty for now. As for anything else... Yang Song could curse all he wanted; it wouldn't hurt them.
After a while, Yang Song finally finished venting. He glared at everyone present, took a breath, and opened his mouth to say something.
But before he could speak, the office door was abruptly pushed open, and a group of people entered.
"Who are you? You want to..."
Yang Song's words were cut short because he realized that the newcomers were all members of the Public Security Bureau!
And at the forefront, in the center, was Liu Lu, who had been missing for several days!
Upon seeing Liu Lu, Yang Song's heart sank. He knew that Liu Lu had previously stumbled upon his misdeeds, and he had bribed people from the Red Moon Ballroom to chase her, get her back, and collect debts.
Then Liu Lu got wind of it, fled in advance, and disappeared. Yang Song had simply used her absence as an excuse to fire her for being absent without leave.
But now, why had Liu Lu suddenly reappeared? And with members of the Public Security Bureau? Had the matter of him bribing the Red Moon Ballroom been exposed?
Yang Song was anxious but maintained a calm exterior, plastering a smile on his face towards the Public Security Bureau members.
"Comrades, may I ask why you..."
Before Yang Song could finish speaking, he was directly interrupted.
"Yang Song, you are suspected of using your position to resell equipment and land, misappropriating government compensation funds, fabricating debt disputes, and other issues. You will now come with us for investigation."
Hearing the words of the Public Security Bureau member, Yang Song felt as if he had been struck by lightning, standing there in a daze.
