#382 - Chapter 382 Bailiji also wants to earn crystal cores
"Are you busy or not?" Yan Zhengping glared at him and asked.
"Alright, alright! I won't tease you anymore. Come sit down, I have something to discuss with you." Seeing Yan Zhengping getting impatient, Bai Liji didn't want to joke around anymore.
"Speak, what is it?" Yan Zhengping got straight to the point after sitting down, not wanting to waste a single word with him.
"President Valetov of the Oros Republic visited a few days ago, you know about that, right?" Bai Liji said.
"Get to the point," Yan Zhengping replied.
The whole council knew about this.
"He wants to purchase a batch of ultrasonic emitters and combat suits," Bai Liji said helplessly, having to get to the point as he requested.
As soon as Yan Zhengping heard this, he understood. No wonder Bai Liji was being so agreeable today, he needed his help.
"No problem. As long as the crystal cores are in place, we can supply as many as you want." Yan Zhengping would never pass up crystal cores. He would naturally do business if there was a deal to be made.
"The problem is, they don't have crystal cores," Bai Liji said somewhat awkwardly.
"You want to freeload? Bai Liji, are you out of your mind? Are you trying to be a good Samaritan to foreigners?" Yan Zhengping exploded, standing up and scolding him.
"Tsk! Watch your mouth! Let me finish!" Bai Liji pulled him back onto the sofa.
"Speak!" Yan Zhengping's anger hadn't subsided.
"They plan to trade with gasoline," Bai Liji said.
"What am I going to do with so much gasoline?" Yan Zhengping was still unwilling.
Gasoline was indeed a scarce commodity now, but it couldn't be eaten. To him, gasoline would soon be useless; crystal cores were a better deal.
"I can exchange crystal cores for your gasoline!" Bai Liji explained.
The meaning was that he would use crystal cores to buy the combat suits and then use them to exchange for gasoline with the Oros Republic.
"You? Forget it! You still owe me the crystal cores for the 60,000 simulation spider robots from last time," Yan Zhengping shook his head.
The council owed him too much; he was worried he wouldn't get it back.
"It's okay to have more debts…"
"Huh?"
"Oh, no, I mean, this isn't many crystal cores. It's just a drop in the bucket for the entire Hua Nation!" Bai Liji almost wore out his tongue trying to explain.
"No, I don't trust you. You can have the goods, but you need collateral!" Yan Zhengping said.
"Fine, name it!" Bai Liji glared at him and said.
"A transport plane for 100,000 crystal cores," Yan Zhengping said.
A transport plane for 100,000 crystal cores was a bit too risky. Before, when other military regions purchased ultrasonic emitters, a plane could only be mortgaged for around 15,000 crystal cores.
However, transport planes were scarce; there were only so many in the whole country, so they couldn't be measured by price alone.
"Old Yan, you're too ruthless! Even if I mortgage all the transport planes to you, it wouldn't be enough!" Bai Liji was unwilling.
"Then there's nothing to talk about!" Yan Zhengping got up to leave.
"Hey! No, no, no! Listen to me, I mean, you can exchange something else," Bai Liji humbled himself.
"How about this, I won't waste any more words with you. After the gasoline is transported back, it can be temporarily stored at my place, but you'll also need to arrange ten more transport planes as collateral. Once you pay off the crystal cores, I'll return the goods and the planes to you," Yan Zhengping said, stating his final plan.
"Okay! It's a deal!" Bai Liji agreed readily.
In fact, Bai Liji had also been racking his brains about this matter.
Valetov's visit was mainly to learn from Hua Nation's experience in preventing viruses and eliminating zombies.
During the meeting, Bai Liji focused on introducing two things: ultrasonic emitters and combat suits.
Ultrasonic emitters could ensure that the settlements were not harassed by zombie animals, and combat suits could prevent soldiers from being infected by the virus.
Valetov was extremely excited after hearing this and immediately hoped to purchase a batch from Hua Nation.
Bai Liji's mind immediately started working.
That's right! Yan Zhengping was in charge of the Hua Nation military's channels and was making a fortune. If he sold them abroad, wouldn't he also make a big profit?
As for whether foreign countries would be able to imitate them, he wasn't worried at all. Because domestic experts had been researching for a long time, and they hadn't even scratched the surface yet.
The final result could only be that after buying a batch, they would want to buy another batch.
It was precisely because of such a huge profit motive that Bai Liji was so patient in talking to Yan Zhengping.
Yan Zhengping naturally hadn't thought of these things, nor did he care.
After the matter was settled, Bai Liji immediately informed Valetov to prepare to transport the gasoline.
There were several direct railways between Hua Nation and Europe, among which the Hua-Europe Western Passage could directly reach Yundu City, the garrison of the Southwest Military Region.
It should be noted here that the several Hua-Europe passages currently in use do not pass through the Ulan Nation. Otherwise, it would be questionable whether their gasoline could be transported to the country.

Binjiang Underground Main Base.
"Commander, Fanghua is requesting a call," Xiao Lin reported.
"Connect!"
"Hey, boss, my dad just asked me to ask you, will our ultrasonic emitters still work if we sell them to the Oros Republic?" Yan Fangfang asked.
Yan Zhengping was nearby, so Yan Fangfang didn't directly call Dongfang Chen "Commander." Otherwise, her dad would be jealous.
"The Oros Republic? I'll reply to you later, I need to do some testing to know," Dongfang Chen replied.
"Okay, then I'll wait for your news."
