214: 30 million US dollars a piece? You are too good at technology!

30 million!!! And in USD? You really know your technology!

Xu Lei's breathing quickened; he wanted nothing more than to grab the White Hat Prince and ask: "Why the hell are you so rich?"

"Tell him that he understands technology, and I will report this matter to my superiors."

The appearance of the Double Bone Dragon bomber at the Zhu Hai Airshow was meant to deter the Eagle Sauce Defense Department.

After all, Eagle Sauce has been acting too arrogant in the South Frontier Sea Area lately. If they knew that Dragon Xia possessed a brand-new unmanned bomber that could fly over 30,000 meters and was completely stealthy...

If you were an Eagle Sauce Aircraft Carrier Commander, would you still come to the Dragon Xia sea area to show off for no reason?

Even if you had ten times the courage, would you bet that the Dragon Xia unmanned bomber wouldn't suffer a technical malfunction and drop a bomb?

Upon hearing this, the White Hat Prince's expression became even more interesting.

"I... Prince Abdullah... am a forever friend of Dragon Xia..." the White Hat Prince said in broken Dragon Xia language.

Xu Lei asked in surprise: "He can speak Mandarin?"

"A little bit, but don't worry, he didn't understand the sarcastic remarks from just now," the interpreter said.

"That's good, that's good." Xu Lei breathed a sigh of relief and turned to contact his superiors.

Lu Shenwei watched this scene in astonishment. Is this what arms sales are like? It wasn't as serious or mysterious as he had imagined.

After Xu Lei left the airshow, Lu Shenwei stayed for a while longer before returning to his room to rest. He had come mainly to see the debut of the Double Bone Dragon bomber, and since his goal had been achieved, it was time to return.

"Book the tickets; we're returning to Qinchuan tomorrow," Lu Shenwei said.

Zhou Cun asked: "Are we not taking the Air Force special plane back?"

"We came here on a visitation mission; how could we have the nerve to bother Director Xu for the return trip?" Just as Lu Shenwei was saying this, Xu Lei knocked on the door and entered the room.

"It's all settled. The higher-ups have agreed to sell six Double Bone Dragon bombers to the White Hat Prince." Before Lu Shenwei could even ask, Xu Lei spoke first.

"However, Director Lu, you heard the conversation earlier; I hope you keep it confidential." Lu Shenwei nodded and said: "My lips are sealed. We never publicize things you tell us not to."

"The Double Bone Dragon sold to the White Hat Prince will be calculated at 30 million USD per unit, to be delivered within half a year. Our procurement price will also be correspondingly increased to 20 million longxia currency," Xu Lei said.

If he eats meat, he must give others a sip of soup; this was his consistent principle. However, with tight military funding and many places for the higher-ups to spend money, he could only wrong Julong Steel.

"20 million? That's too much, isn't it? Just giving us 10 million will do," Lu Shenwei said. He couldn't earn money from the military, especially not this much.

"I feel like I'm shortchanging you even at 20 million. If I only gave you 10 million, how would I have the face to see you in the future?"

Xu Lei's words left no room for Lu Shenwei to argue, so the latter had to reluctantly agree, thinking of it as the acceleration fee for the large aircraft analysis.

The Double Bone Dragon bomber sold for a high price, and the Dragon Xia leadership was very satisfied. The buyer, the Desert Camel Prince, was also very happy; ultra-long-range bombers were much more fun than any leopards or tigers.

Just when everyone was happy, the Eagle Sauce Defense Department jumped out again. Green Hair Sister was spouting nonsense, sternly condemning Dragon Xia for exporting weapons of mass destruction to the Desert Camel region, and accusing Dragon Xia of undermining peace and stability in the Desert Camel region.

They also imposed sanctions on Xu Lei, who facilitated the export of the Double Bone Dragon bomber, and carried out their eighth round of sanctions against the suspected manufacturer of the Double Bone Dragon bomber, Julong Steel.

【Is Eagle Sauce at its wit's end? Do they have no new tricks besides sanctions?】

【Julong Steel is quite interesting too; they've been sanctioned eight times, but it hasn't affected them at all; they're actually living better and better.】

【I heard that the benefits at Julong Steel are now higher than those of civil servants directly under the capital city; I want to go and try my luck.】

【They only hire top graduates from 985/211 universities now; even if you go, you might not get hired.】

"Jokes aside, I hope the sanctions don't affect the development of Julong Steel," Brother Qi said worriedly.

【Brother Qi, you are truly worrying unnecessarily. Look at Bai Xiaoying's livestream; the fans have gone crazy.】

【What do you mean? Crazy?】

【Go see for yourself; there's something happening! They're doing something big!】

Many curious netizens hurriedly opened Bai Xiaoying's livestream, only to be dumbfounded. Are Bai Xiaoying's fans really this reckless? Are they trying to get themselves killed?

【@Bai Xiaoying, streamer, don't play dead. Hurry up and post the link for the Double Bone Dragon bomber; I can afford it!】

【Can you list the formation of Longying Drones, the same ones from the airshow?】

【Where is the promised Great Guan Dao? I've been waiting for half a month; why is there still no movement?】

【Is the guy above an idiot? You want to buy a bomber in a livestream? How many heads do you have?】

【Holy crap! Wolong, Fengchu, and Youlin are all appearing in the same livestream.】

"Family, wake up. I don't dare to sell them. Why don't you go directly to Director Lu?" Bai Xiaoying said helplessly.

Originally, after visiting the airshow and gaining a wave of fans, she was preparing to head home. But then she saw the Double Bone Dragon bomber flying in the sky, and her brain was buzzing.

She was just lamenting how a transport plane had suddenly turned into a bomber, only to find the gossip landing on her own head. A large group of fans appeared from nowhere, strongly demanding that she list the Double Bone Dragon bomber. Is this thing something that can be listed? How many heads do I have?

【Xiao Ying, if that doesn't work, listing a model is fine too; just to satisfy the craving!】

【That suggestion is reliable; a model is fine too.】

The next day, Lu Shenwei received a call from Bai Xiaoying. "The netizens want to buy a Double Bone Dragon bomber? This... is absurd, right?"

"A model is fine too? Alright then. I'll find a manufacturer to make a batch later." After hanging up, Lu Shenwei instructed Zhou Cun to contact Nie Erhu.

"Give Twilight Stationery a few photos and have them replicate a batch of Double Bone Dragon bomber models; they need to be made of metal."

"Chairman, are we not giving them the design blueprints?"

"Design blueprints? No, no. They are such a large stationery company; can't they figure it out themselves?" Military fans could buy them, and enemy agents/rebels could also buy them. If a spy were to find clues from the model and leak secrets, that would be bad.

"Figure it out? That might be hard, right?" Zhou Cun scratched his head and said.

"Tell him, if he can't figure it out, I'll turn around and cooperate with Liwang Stationery; after all, Director He has resources too." Lu Shenwei said casually, and Zhou Cun turned to make the contact.

"You're leaving today? Why not stay for a few more days?" Chen Guang asked as he entered the room.

Ever since the Zhuri exercise ended last year, he hadn't had a proper gathering with Lu Shenwei. The Great Leader had said that Julong Steel was a treasure, and he should dig into it whenever he had the chance.

"There are still quite a few things at the steel mill waiting to be dealt with," Lu Shenwei explained.

Chen Guang smiled and pulled him: "Don't be in such a hurry to leave. This afternoon, I'll take you to the shooting range to experience our Army's new 99G tank."

During this year's military commendations, the Army didn't win a single major award, and the higher-ups were very dissatisfied with this. Chen Guang wanted to solve the military region's worries, and that's when he thought of Julong Steel.
