91: Chapter 91 Please pay with RMB

Lin Heng was still the same as always; if someone wanted to gain an advantage from him, they had to pay a corresponding price.

Providing the other party with free oil was naturally impossible.

Zhao Kai quickly swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

He knew very well that if he didn't pay this money, he might be dealt with by the local Warlord.

Given Lin Heng's relationship with these African Warlords, who knew when he might end up dead in some auspicious location.

He coughed lightly, and Zhao Kai quickly inquired,

"Mr. Lin, don't you think this price is fair?"

"To be honest, we only earn hard-won money; we truly don't have extra funds to pay for the oil?"

Hearing this, Lin Heng instinctively frowned.

"No money, no money, then why did you come to buy oil?"

Lin Heng muttered dejectedly.

He hadn't expected that losing money while doing business domestically was one thing, but now he had to lose money doing business abroad too.

He wondered if he was possessed by a 'Loss-Making Sacred Body'!

Why did he keep running into things like this?

Zhao Kai scratched the back of his head awkwardly but dared not say much more.

He was afraid that if he wasn't careful, the other party would 'take him out'.

Zhao Kai quickly patted his chest: "Mr. Lin, please rest assured, we will definitely give you this money."

"If you really don't trust us, you can come with us to the Middle East first. Perhaps we can exchange some dollars there..."

Hearing this, Lin Heng frowned slightly.

"Dollars?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Kai's expression instantly became ugly.

This Chinese descendant mixing with the African Warlords seemed to have some unspeakable aversion to US dollars?

But these were the only things they had on them, and weren't dollars supposed to be universally accepted?

"If that really doesn't work, we still have a little bit of gold, but only a tiny bit. It probably won't be enough to cover your payment."

Zhao Kai stammered, not daring to say anything more.

He was terrified of provoking Lin Heng's displeasure and being killed with one slash right there.

The previous leader of the African Warlord hadn't gotten any benefit from Lin Heng.

This was enough to show how terrifying Lin Heng was.

Moreover, with so many people present, they seemed quite attentive to Lin Heng.

Even if they didn't listen to the African Warlord chief, they would listen to him.

He really didn't know how Lin Heng managed this.

Just as Zhao Kai was trembling, Lin Heng faintly shook his head.

He opened his mouth with disdain:

"Sorry, we don't accept dollars here anymore. We only accept Renminbi."

Huh??

After hearing this, Zhao Kai froze completely.

Although he had long perceived the strength of the motherland, he hadn't expected it to be powerful to this extent.

When did they develop all the way to Africa??

Could it be that during the previous development of third-world countries, Africa was already listed as a top priority for support??

Was this the reason for this sudden change?

Zhao Kai's mouth twitched slightly. He hadn't expected the motherland's pace to be so fast.

He hadn't even managed to react.

"I wonder if there will be a discount if we settle in Renminbi?"

Zhao Kai subconsciously asked this question.

Lin Heng nodded faintly.

"Of course. You also know that exchanging for paper currency now requires a handling fee. You might as well give it to me directly. I'll waive that discount for you."

If the system didn't only accept Renminbi, Lin Heng probably would have agreed to US dollars.

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Kai's expression became even uglier.

He hadn't expected his guess to be true.

"What's wrong with you? Don't tell me you don't even have Renminbi?"

At this moment, Lin Heng showed a look of contempt on his face.

Zhao Kai quickly forced a dry laugh, "Yes, yes, we have it, please don't worry. We will gather the Renminbi when we go back; it will be enough."

"I'll send someone to go back with you."

"Otherwise, I'm worried you'll be very endangered on the way back."

Lin Heng waved his hand and said casually.

Zhao Kai tremblingly agreed.

"Then thank you very much, Mr. Lin."

After speaking, Lin Heng immediately called over a dark-skinned man holding an AK-47 and pointed him out to Zhao Kai.

The other party quickly understood.

He nodded, immediately walked to Zhao Kai's side, and chattered a string of words.

Zhao Kai didn't know what it meant, but the 'big brother' understood that he was being told to go get the money.

He felt a mix of laughter and tears internally.

But at this moment, it was better to quickly get the Renminbi to buy the oil and then leave quickly.

Zhao Kai quickly left.

Lin Heng directed the people present to continuously engage in afforestation.

At the same time, he held a wheat planting technology manual in his hand, constantly studying it.

Meanwhile, Zhao Kai had already returned to the ship's cabin.

After explaining everything that had happened to the people on the bed one by one, their eyes widened in disbelief.

"Damn it, Lin Heng, haven't you lost your mind? You believe that?"

"I suspect that person is purely trying to scam you out of Renminbi, and later he'll intercept all of us and take the money back to the motherland to live lavishly."

"Zhao Kai, you're not a kid anymore, how could you be fooled like this? Do you have no brain?"

Soon, everyone in the cabin started clamoring, all thinking that Zhao Kai's brain must have been floating at sea for too long and gone haywire.

It turned out that Zhao Kai found it difficult to explain the situation back then. His expression was extremely grim.

"Brothers, please stop laughing at me. At this point, it's better to quickly gather the money. We should buy the oil and leave as soon as possible."

The others whispered among themselves, but none were willing to put up the money.

Even the crew and the captain weren't angry with Zhao Kai.

Seeing this, Zhao Kai directly sat down heavily on the deck.

"If you guys are really going to do this, then I won't go. It's not like I'm the only one leaving."

"At worst, we all die here. If we die, we die together!"

"Don't blame me for not warning you!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone quickly sobered up.

They quickly apologized.

"Oh dear, we were just afraid you were being scammed. We were just being kind-hearted for a moment; we never meant to stop you from paying."

None of them dared to wander around among the African Warlords; who knew when their old lives might end up on the line.

So, everyone quickly pooled their money and threw it into a package for Zhao Kai.

The total amount everyone had on them added up to several hundred thousand.

Honestly, this might not be enough to refuel a cargo ship.

But they truly didn't have any more Renminbi.

When traveling abroad, especially drifting on the sea most of the time, who would carry such things!

Everyone habitually carried dollars.

Soon, Zhao Kai gathered the package, let out a cold snort, and hurried off the ship.

His retreating figure quickly disappeared from the deck.
