If Sweeney, a stubborn bastard, keeps doing this, he will end up back on the first path, and the anger he has suffered before will be in vain. Thinking of this, Brad immediately stood up and stopped Sweeney from talking anymore.
Brad said to Li Hai with a great attitude, "Captain Li, the purpose of our meeting here is to resolve this matter on the spot through friendly negotiation. General Sweeney did not mean a 50-50 ratio.
He just expressed one thing to you, that is, we did not do it unintentionally. You have also seen that none of our sensing equipment detected the existence of the Suiyu 9528 fishing boat. Indeed, this happened without any knowledge.
An unexpected incident.”
After he explained, he saw Li Hai's expression softening slightly.
Le Hai asked, "Can you make the decision?"
Brad was stunned. After a few seconds, he gritted his teeth and said, "I am the captain of the Discomfort, and I can make the decision."
The meaning is very clear. He can make the decision on the navigation situation of the Discomfort. At least he can make the decision on this matter. At this point, Sweeney has also calmed down. Now that the matter has come to this, it is better to face it calmly than to be coy. Anyway, in the end
The results will not change much - they are all fucked.
At this time, Sweeney couldn't help but think of a joke he once saw on a short video platform - sometimes life is like being raped. Instead of resisting, it is better to open your legs and enjoy it.
It’s so cruel and helpless!
Thinking of this, Sweeney immediately added, "Captain Li, you have indeed misunderstood. I did not mean to ask Suiyu 9528 to bear our maintenance losses."
Li Hai didn't give Sweeney a chance to finish what he said. He interrupted Sweeney rudely and said, "Then what do you mean? You have 100,000 tons and I have 300 tons. What do you mean?"
His attitude was very bad. Sweeney was very embarrassed, looked very ugly, and had to apologize.
Brad stopped talking. He could see that Li Hai was forcing Sweeney to express his stance. Judging from Li Hai's appearance, if Sweeney's stance did not satisfy Li Hai, Li Hai would definitely turn around and leave.
Brad kept telling Sweeney not to be impulsive, as impulsiveness is the devil.
He was worrying too much. Sweeney had completely convinced himself and decided to enjoy life.
"Captain Li, we take full responsibility and we will compensate for all losses. How about that?" Sweeney was also single and decided to enjoy life, so he spread his legs without hesitation.
Chang Haizhou immediately stepped forward and said to Li Hai, "We haven't gotten the exact damage situation yet."
They had discussed that if the U.S. took a tough stance, they would use the list of losses Li Hai carried. If the U.S. was frightened, they would contact Chen Qiming and use another list.
The summaries of the two lists are naturally different!
Therefore, Chang Haizhou knew that it was time for him to appear, and he spoke in Chinese.
The American translator immediately translated Chang Haizhou's words in a low voice to Sweeney and Brad. Sweeney immediately said, "Captain Li, you can use our communication equipment to contact your ship. Please send us a list of losses immediately.
Compensation will be based on the price.”
"In this case...that's all we can do." Li Hai thought for a moment and nodded reluctantly in agreement.
From the perspective of Sweeney and Brad, Li Hai probably wanted to do something else, but luckily they blocked his mouth in advance and satisfied him completely, leaving him speechless.
"Lao Wan, please contact me." Li Hai said to Wan Liyang.
Wan Liyang immediately walked to the communication station. Sweeney and Brad regretted that it was too late. They did not object, and the others would not say anything. They all wanted to solve the matter quickly, and then went to the mission area for a walk, and they were there.
It's time to end overseas deployments.
Wan Liyang's eyes were like rulers, and he operated the communication equipment very slowly. He looked at everything he should and shouldn't see. It took him a while to contact Chen Qiming, "Peace Dove, Manta Ray instructions, quickly count the losses and send a detailed list."
Come here, it’s over.”
Dove of Peace? When Sweeney and Brad heard this code name, their faces turned blue and white, and they said in unison: What a big face!
The manta ray is quite fitting!
After making contact, Li Hai came over and took the microphone from Wan Liyang and said directly, "Political commissar, turn on the loudspeaker. I'm here to settle the accounts of the innocent fishing boat representatives."
In the center of the bridge of the No. 53 ship, Chen Qiming smiled, signaled the communications sergeant to turn on the loudspeaker, and signaled Zhang Jiahao to come over, "Comrade Zhang Jiahao, come here and talk to the captain."
"Yes!" Zhang Jiahao stood at attention and strode over immediately.
Li Hai thought about adding it up with Zhang Jiahao. He remembered the long-established list of losses in his mind and said, "Comrade Zhang Jiahao, your boat is at least 90% new, plus a boatload of high-value fish, it can be calculated as five million."
Bar?"
"Ah?" Zhang Jiahao's heart beat violently and he looked at Chen Qiming in disbelief.
Chen Qiming smiled slightly.
At the center of the bridge of the USS Malaise, after listening to the translator's translation, Sweeney and Brad's expressions did not change much. A fishing boat that can fish thousands of kilometers away is worth five million, which is the going rate.
Li Hai ignored him and continued, "There is also a time cost. For the five of you to go to sea and go back and forth for one month, each of you will get 10,000 yuan per day. Here is 1.5 million."
Zhang Jiahao's mouth opened wide, forming an "O" shape.
Sweeney and Brad frowned slightly. The value of this time cost was too high.
"After such a serious impact, the five of you must have a good rest in the future. The lost work compensation is calculated as 5,000 yuan per day. You must rest for at least a month. Here it is 750,000 yuan."
Zhang Jiahao's mouth opened even wider, as if he could stuff an egg into it.
Sweeney and Brad's expressions changed a bit. The lost work fee actually cost 750,000, which is a sky-high price!
"There is also the mental loss, which definitely needs to be compensated. After all, being rear-ended by an aircraft carrier is not something ordinary people can encounter, and they have to make good adjustments." Li Hai said seriously.
Zhang Jiahao's mouth was so wide that the corners of his mouth were about to split to his ears.
Li Hai pondered for a moment and said, "The mental damage fee is still 8 million, so let's count it as 800,000. Comrade Zhang Jiahao, the total is 8.05 million, how about it? Is it appropriate?"
At this time, Zhang Jiahao finally came back to his senses.
And Sweeney and Brad's expressions were already dark and careless...
The total amount of the previously agreed loss list was just over three million, which was already a huge profit for them. Two million would buy a brand new fishing boat, and five people would divide one million among them. Isn't this more comfortable than fishing?
But now, the total loss given by Li Hai is as high as eight million!
It’s no problem to buy a thousand-ton ocean fishing boat!
"Comrade Zhang Jiahao, are you listening?" Li Hai asked again.
Zhang Jiahao was speechless. He was completely stunned. Chen Qiming could only take the microphone and said, "Comrade Zhang Jiahao said there is no problem. Captain, I think that's what we'll do."
"Okay, then it's settled." Li Hai handed the microphone to Wan Liyang instead of returning it to the communications officer of the USS Malaise. He turned to Sweeney and said, "Eight million and a half million."
"Too high!" Sweeney couldn't help shouting, "Captain Li, we have seen the wreckage, and you admitted before that it was a 300-ton fishing boat. Your asking price is too high!"
Li Hai's face turned cold, "Call a fishing boat of the same tonnage as yours and let me hit it at a high speed of 30 knots. I can clear both sides!"
Brad suddenly grabbed Sweeney's arm, shook his head firmly at him, and then said to Li Hai sincerely, "Captain Li, to be honest, eight million dollars is too outrageous. Take a refund."
Wan Bu said, even if we agree, we don’t have that much money to give you now.”
After a pause, Brad said, "I think you don't want the compensation to be delayed for a long time, right?"
Dollar?
Your father, I am talking about RMB...
Li Hai's brows jumped sharply. It became a habit. He didn't expect that he missed the unit and had such a wonderful misunderstanding.
In Brad's opinion, Li Hai, whose brows were twitching, was thinking about it.
He decided to seize the opportunity to pursue the victory and said decisively, "Captain Li, we have more than five million U.S. dollars in cash reserves. We will pay a compensation of five million U.S. dollars. If possible, we will deliver the goods immediately."
Li Hai looked at Chang Haizhou, Wan Liyang, and Wu Tong. The three of them tried hard not to let their expressions change, and tried their best to maintain a look of bitterness and hatred.
Sweeney also calmed down and said, holding back his anger, "Five million dollars is a lot, and I can give it to you right away."
Brad said to Chang Haizhou, "Mr. Chang Haizhou, five million US dollars is enough to buy a good 1,000-ton fishing boat. This is a good deal for fishermen, and they can get the money right away."
Chang Haizhou sighed softly and said to Li Hai, "Captain, I think..."
"No." Li Hai suddenly shook his head decisively, looked at Sweeney and Brad sharply, and said, "Six million dollars, not even a cent less. Give me a clear answer now."
He did not believe that the combat readiness funds for the huge USS Discomfort were only over five million US dollars. This number should be close to seven million US dollars, which was used to prepare the ships for overseas deployment in case of emergencies.
In fact, before carrying out overseas deployment missions, this amount of money should be tens of millions of dollars. Considering that the Rover has been deployed for several months and has spent more or less, it is absolutely possible that the remaining US$7 million is possible.
.
In this case, of course Li Hai would drain the war preparation funds of the Unfit.
Sweeney and Brad looked at each other in silence. They knew that the money was actually more than six million US dollars, and part of it was the small treasury of senior officers like them, and it was considered their own money!
But compared to being pushed out as a scapegoat, losing a little money is nothing.
Brad's eyes signaled Sweeney to agree.
At this point, Sweeney had no second choice. He nodded slowly, "Deal."
Six million US dollars, equivalent to more than 30 million yuan... ()
