While Fahru was speaking diplomatic rhetoric, he was thinking about what Gao Shaoyi was here for. If it was to listen to these diplomatic rhetoric, I'm afraid Gao Shaoyi didn't need to go out personally, he could just find someone to come.
"I want to make a deal with Mr. Ambassador. I don't know what Mr. Ambassador means?"
Gao Shaoyi didn't hide anything, because he didn't have much time, only fifteen days, and he also had to deal with the Western powers, so he had to speed up his negotiations. If he was delayed too long at the first place
If so, I'm afraid I won't be able to complete the task.
Buy or sell?
What deal?
Fahru felt that his mind was blank. Gao Shaoyi's thinking was a bit difficult to keep up with. Although we are not hostile now, since Gao Shaoyi announced that he would take back the concessions in the three southern provinces, the relationship between the two parties has also declined.
It has reached the freezing point, and now we come out to talk about business. What business can we have to talk about?
"The trade volume between your two countries has been rising steadily. I wonder which transaction the prince is talking about?"
Fahru is definitely not pretending to be confused, because this guy really doesn't know what Gao Shaoyi is talking about. The two countries are about to enter a state of war. Don't think that this kind of thing will not happen, as long as the top brass of the Windsor Empire makes the decision.
If the decision is made, the nearby Windsor Empire fleet will immediately assemble, and will also contact several other Western powers. The two sides will definitely be able to fight by then. Why discuss business now?
"The sale of a warship."
Gao Shaoyi smiled, but Fahru was even more confused. The source of the warships of the Suppression Army had always been the Suppression Army that they wanted to care about. In addition to ordering a large number of transport ships, they did not order warships from various countries. This
After a battle, no one knows how many warships they have.
Although the naval warships of our Windsor Empire are the most advanced, they seem to be lagging behind those of the Suppression Army. Can they take a fancy to them?
"I don't quite understand what the prince means. Even if the prince places an order now, our country will not have free slipways to produce warships for the prince. Our country's shipyards are very busy. In addition to our navy's own orders, we are also producing warships all over the world.
I’ve received a lot of orders, so I’m afraid it’s hard to comply.”
Fahru's head was still confused. He didn't know what Gao Shaoyi meant, but he could only take one step at a time. As the conversation deepened, he believed that he could understand what Gao Shaoyi meant.
"What I want to purchase are these warships, which will not occupy your slipway."
After Gao Shaoyi finished speaking, the assistant next to him sent over some information. There were photos and text on it. It could be said that it was very detailed. At the beginning, Fahru's face could remain normal, but it soon became clear.
He showed a surprised expression.
These warships are not ordinary warships. These warships were sold to Dongdi Country by the Windsor Empire, and if it were not for the war zone, these warships would soon be sent to Dongdi Country. Now you suddenly come out and say that you want to
How is it possible to buy these warships?
Warships are different from other goods. It does not mean that they can be delivered to you just after you place an order. Once you place an order, it will take at least two or three years to deliver the order. If you want to expedite it, then
You have to pay an additional amount of money, and the producing country has to look at the international situation.
"This is impossible, Your Majesty. Although we have a good relationship with you, we merchants in the Windsor Empire are all about credibility. These warships were ordered two years ago. If it weren't for you and the Rakshasa Empire, If the fleet is fighting, we have already sent these warships to Dongdi Kingdom."
There was a hint of ridicule in Fahru's voice when he spoke. Although Gao Shaoyi is the prince of the Daqian Empire, he is not much of a threat to the Windsor Empire. You want to seize the warships that others have built long ago, and you have paid for it. The money is still the original price, which is really funny.
Similar things will happen in international trade. For example, a country suddenly falls into a war, but they do not have enough domestic warships, so they can only discuss with the original purchasing country and buy these warships at a higher price. Moreover, the producing country also charges a fee, but now Gao Shaoyi wants to buy it at the original price, which has to be said to be a joke.
What's more, it is absolutely impossible for the Dongdi Kingdom to transfer these warships. If the Dongdi Kingdom transfers, then they will never rise. The Western countries have also reached an agreement and cannot allow the suppression of the captives in the east. They are a single family. Although they have not yet passed an agreement to assist Dongdi, these warships will definitely be handed over to Dongdi.
"Your Excellency, the Ambassador, may not understand what I mean. I did not say to purchase these warships through normal trade. You should still send these warships to the people of Dongdi according to the original plan, except for some special ones. Apart from the commissioners, it is best for the sailors on the ship to be people from Dongdi. What I mean is that I will pay all the money, but you don’t need to hand it over to me. I will grab it myself..."
After Gao Shaoyi finished speaking, all the people present fell silent, and even the sound of breathing could be heard. Gao Shaoyi was really terrible. People in Dongdi Kingdom had already paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to deliver goods in advance. 70/70 of the payment, leaving only 30% of the balance.
Now Gao Shaoyi is ready to pay another full payment, and it is 100%. The people in the Windsor Empire will pretend that they don't know about this matter and only need to reveal the movement of the fleet on the road. Gao Shaoyi will handle the rest by himself.
Except for a few commissioners who came with the group, it can be said that the Windsor Empire has not suffered any losses, but a batch of warships can be sold to two families, and the profit is not small. The total value of this batch of warships in Dongdi Kingdom is 34 million silver coins. Gao Shaoyi is willing to pay 35 million silver coins at this time.
In other words, the guy in front of you only needs to nod, and you can get 35 million silver coins immediately. As for what happens next, it has nothing to do with you.
A total of 35 million silver coins. Even if the concessions in the three southern provinces are very profitable, it will take many years to earn them back.
Fahru finally understood what Gao Shaoyi was thinking? The man in front of him was really bold.
If his proposal succeeds, it will definitely kill two birds with one stone. It can not only solve the threat of Dongdi Navy, but also pull the Windsor Empire onto its own chariot. Naturally, the concession will be returned...
