Just as everyone was waiting for the price, Li Yaqi seemed to be deliberately teasing them, stubbornly remaining silent.
This atmosphere lasted for about ten seconds.
Li Yaqi raised her hand, and a blurred seven-digit number appeared in front of the T2 Mastiff-class Medium Interstellar Destroyer’s holographic projection.
First, the ones, tens, hundreds, and thousands digits were revealed.
Five zeros.
The three father and son from the Hurricane Conglomerate held their breath, fantasizing that the first digit of this seven-digit number should be ‘5’ or ‘6’.
After all, if this interstellar warship truly completely surpassed their T2 Hyena, there was only one possibility.
That was, it was extremely expensive!
This was the only explanation they could accept.
The sixth digit began to change.
Sixth digit: 0!
Now, only the last digit remained.
“Sister Su Lan, how much do you think this T2 Mastiff sells for?” Xue Xiaoxiao asked Su Lan curiously.
Su Lan thought for a moment: “Since it’s a newly launched interstellar warship, and they need to recover research and development funds as quickly as possible, the price definitely won’t be too low.
Since Li Yaqi dares to benchmark it against the T2 Hyena, she probably won’t set it too high either.
The price range should be around four to five million.
This is also a price that everyone can accept.
Otherwise, if you’re too expensive, even if your interstellar warship surpasses others in every aspect, its cost-effectiveness still won’t be as good as theirs.
What’s more, theirs is an old model interstellar warship that has been popular for over a decade, which gives it a higher brand trust.”
Zhao Chen listened to their discussion from the side, remaining silent.
Before this, Li Yaqi had discussed this price with Zhao Chen the day before.
Ultimately, the two settled on a price that would take the Hurricane Conglomerate completely by surprise.
If they were going to strike at the Hurricane Conglomerate, they couldn’t give it too much room to maneuver; they had to knock it down with one blow!
Everyone in the Military Procurement Committee seats eagerly awaited the reveal of the last digit.
In the general audience section, some spectators seated in the back, though able to clearly see everything on stage thanks to technology, still couldn’t help but stand up.
President Feng Weihao of the Hurricane Conglomerate had his hands clasped in front of his chin, a gesture familiar to those who knew him.
This was a subconscious action he made whenever he was most nervous.
His eldest son, Feng Dawei, stood beside him with a grim expression; this T2 Mastiff was challenging the T2 Hyena’s Overlord status.
If successful, it would undoubtedly be a huge blow to the Hurricane Conglomerate.
Now, the crucial point lay in this price.
Li Yaqi paused for another full ten seconds, then she snapped her fingers.
The last digit actually began to spin.
This scene made everyone anxious; this woman was truly skilled at manipulating people’s psychology.
The constantly spinning number slowly began to decelerate.
It started to move gradually from ‘9’ to ‘6’.
Everyone could see that the number was about to stop.
Then it changed from ‘6’ to ‘5’.
“Five million star coins?” someone began to guess.
Although five million star coins was a bit more expensive than the T2 Hyena, with its performance advantages, it still had the ability to compete with the T2 Hyena.
Even if they didn’t win this military procurement bid, in the T2 Interstellar Destroyer market, the T2 Hyena would no longer be the sole leader.
Just at this moment, the digit ‘5’ changed to ‘4’.
This single digit change made everyone feel their hearts tremble.
Many people’s gazes became fervent at this moment.
Such an excellent T2 Interstellar Destroyer actually perfectly matched the T2 Hyena’s price!
The smell of gunpowder was intensifying throughout the entire venue!
Feng Xiaowei’s eyes showed disbelief; though somewhat uneducated, he understood the current situation—the position of his family’s Interstellar Warship was being shaken.
“If it’s four million star coins... we can lower our price to three and a half million star coins, or even three million three hundred thousand star coins if necessary.
Although this will have some negative impact on the order clients we currently have.
But no matter what, we must secure this military procurement order.” President Feng Weihao had already begun to think of countermeasures.
He was preparing to further reduce their original price in his upcoming speech.
But just then.
The digit ‘4’ actually disappeared!
Everyone’s eyes widened, and their breathing seemed to stop at that moment.
Impossible!
This is impossible!
This is absolutely impossible!
Everyone seemed to know what was about to happen, but deep down, they still believed it was absolutely impossible.
Feng Dawei could no longer remain calm at this moment; he stood up with a shocked expression.
A number several times larger than the previous six digits appeared before everyone’s eyes.
‘3’!
“Our Northern Goose Group’s T2 Mastiff-class Medium Interstellar Destroyer is priced here at 3 million star coins!” Li Yaqi’s words, once uttered, swept through the entire venue like a solar storm.
President Feng Weihao’s gaze shifted from initial shock to panic, then to anger, and finally to anxiety.
In these brief few seconds, his emotions were incredibly complex.
And everyone in the venue was currently processing this price.
This Interstellar Destroyer, which surpassed the T2 Hyena, was actually priced at 3 million star coins!
This was the lowest price the T2 Hyena had ever had!
“Three million star coins! This T2 Mastiff, which benchmarks and completely outperforms the T2 Hyena in all aspects, is actually priced at only 3 million star coins!”
“The Hurricane Conglomerate is in big trouble now!”
“What’s the background of this Northern Goose Group? After the t1 wolf louse-class medium interstellar destroyer last time, they’ve pulled off such a big feat again!”
“That’s not as simple as a t1 interstellar battleship; this is a t2 star battleship! Its market share is hundreds of times that of the former! And its profit is tens of thousands of times more!”
Everyone was utterly astonished by this T2 Mastiff that had suddenly appeared.
Its incredible performance, combined with this unbelievable price.
The problem was that it also perfectly matched the performance characteristics of the T2 Hyena.
It could be said that customers who were originally considering the T2 Hyena could completely transition to this T2 Mastiff!
After all, what fool would pass up a more excellent yet cheaper interstellar warship!
“I object!” President Feng Weihao suddenly shouted loudly.
Everyone’s gaze in the entire venue fell upon President Feng Weihao by the side of the stage.
President Feng Weihao stood up and said with a gloomy expression: “We, the Hurricane Conglomerate, question the authenticity of the Starship technology presented by the Northern Goose Group!
I suspect that the Northern Goose Group is completely fabricating data out of thin air!”
