Chapter 113: Chapter 107: This Ragtag Cable, Worth $5,000,000?
Stupid!
No good at all!
This was the sole thought of the viewers in the live stream after the emotional rollercoaster.
"Ahhh, I was ready to lash out, and with one sentence, he shut me up."
"Jerk, can’t be so mischievous anymore; I’ve already sent out the ranting comments, boohoo."
"Crying to death, from now on, those who talk in separate parts deserve to be punished."
...
Caught between great joy and sorrow, Lin Hai’s mouth twitched for a moment, yet couldn’t utter a word.
Ning An looked apologetically at An Ruolin beside him:
"Elder An, this Divine Invitation Incense was only available today; it wasn’t that I didn’t want to bring it out earlier."
Elder An firmly waved his hand, saying resolutely: "I absolutely trust you, my young friend! If not for you back then, I fear I would have been long gone..."
Meanwhile, Lin Hai was anxiously rushing, rudely pulling Elder An out the door:
"Quit your yapping, go light the incense!"
Watching the two elderly folks hustling away, Ning An shook his head with a smile and followed them to the Prayer Hall.
...
And at that moment.
Yingjiang, Washington Suburbs.
"Walt! The quality of this cable is outrageous..."
Looking at the newly generated data, a group of black and white-skinned tech personnel were dumbstruck.
They were currently testing a cable from Dragon Country.
The factory producing this cable was originally a small, obscure plant with poor domestic sales, hence wanted to enter international trade.
The quality control staff didn’t pay much attention to the samples sent for testing, after all, what could a small factory produce?
But when the data came out, it was like an invisible hand frantically slapped all their faces.
The tensile strength of the mooring cable actually reached 1.2 million Newtons!
And that wasn’t the limit of the cable, it was just what the testing could measure.
Who else manufactures cables with quality akin to aircraft carrier arrestor cables!
To know this data, it can directly go on an aircraft carrier.
A man with a sharp face quickly pulled out his phone and made a call:
"Walker, I found a treasure! It’ll definitely make us rich!"
Walker responded weakly: "Come on, the last time I believed your nonsense, that old geezer gave me a hard time. I don’t want to get kicked out of the Ministry of Defense in shame."
The sharp-faced man immediately got anxious, raising his voice several decibels:
"No, this time, it’s real! The quality control agency I was responsible for just tested a mooring cable from Dragon Country, its data beats the aircraft carrier arrestor cables of our navy by a mile!"
"Walt?" Walker perked up, sitting up and speaking in a deep voice: "Williams, do you know what you’re saying!"
Williams nodded calmly: "Don’t worry, I would never dare deceive you in this matter!"
"At first, I didn’t believe it either, but when the data was laid out, it completely won me over, 1.2 million Newtons of tensile strength, that thing didn’t budge at all!"
Being a mid-level officer in the Ministry of Defense, Walker naturally understood what this meant, his tone turned urgent: "What’s its limit!"
Williams scratched his head awkwardly: "This isn’t a military product testing facility; the most we could measure was this, but I guarantee it’s definitely better quality than what our navy uses."
Quickly calculating in his mind, Walker asked: "How much are they planning to sell it for?"
"Forty thousand! Walker, they’re only asking for 40 million US dollars!!!"
Williams shouted nearly frantically: "The internal price of one aircraft carrier arrestor cable for our navy is 6 million US dollars."
"If we take over, the back and forth would mean endless wealth!"
"As long as you nod, this business, you just need to pave the way, I’ll give you forty percent of the profit!"
We’re going to get rich!
Upon hearing this, the only thing in Walker’s mind was the word ’rich.’
Equivalent quality, even far exceeding our production, selling for only 40 million dollars a piece.
And flipping them to our navy at 500 million dollars per unit isn’t too much, is it?
Almost ten times the profit!
Before Walker could react, Williams dropped another bombshell:
"According to the folks at that Dragon Country factory, they have thousands of units in their warehouse."
Opportunity!
A huge opportunity!
Decisively, Walker got excited immediately: "Brother, first keep them steady, I’ll try to contact the navy personnel now."
"Cough cough." Williams lightly coughed twice, dismissively said: "Walker, you’re too rash; we can make money off this, but let’s do it gracefully."
"I’ll start a company, just rent a small office space, and then declare this as our enterprise’s product."
"And you, my good brother, being the Major General suspicious of Yingjiang’s strength, always searching for ways to boost our military strength, stumbled upon our high-quality aircraft carrier arrestor cables purely by coincidence."
Before Walker could speak, Williams shifted the phone, casually lighting a cigar, amidst swirling smoke, he lowered his voice:
"Isn’t your boss a cunning hyena? Get him to step forward, toss him a bone, let him facilitate contact between our navy and me, completing this deal."
"We are a shell company, the supply isn’t stable, so we aim to feast on one deal."
"Whether that Dragon Country factory stops supplying us in the future or the navy wants to backtrack, with your hyena boss taking the hit, you and I can easily cut ties."
"Oh, my dear brother." Walker was so ecstatic, he didn’t know what to say, straightforwardly replied: "Alright, send me the test data immediately; I’ll take a look and go find that old fellow right away."
Soon, detailed data was faxed to Walker’s hands.
Carefully reviewing the data report, while comparing the navy’s data, Walker grew increasingly shocked.
Overall, the parameters of the mooring cables produced by Dragon Country far exceeded those of their production.
Even some aspects were still in their research phase.
Holding the data in his hand, Walker lit a cigar too, puffing clouds, incredulously asked:
"What’s the background of this Dragon Country company?"
"These materials, where are they mooring cables, clearly they’re aircraft carrier arrestor cables!"
"And this is just an unknown enterprise from Dragon Country, sanctions, must sanction!"
"If Dragon Country isn’t sanctioned, I may see it surpass us within my lifetime."
Williams rolled his eyes disgustedly, we’re all filthy capitalists here, what are you spouting sentiments for?
"My dear Major General, rest assured, while the Dragon Country firm can produce carrier arrestor cables, they don’t understand its significance, or else they wouldn’t be unable to sell."
Williams, holding back nausea, exhaled a mouthful of smoke, said calmly:
"Besides, what does this have to do with us?"
"The overweight folks at the Ministry of Defense don’t care; they’re all rotted through."
"Cherish this era, strive to rake in more, who knows if opportunities will come again."
