843: Chapter 848: See You Again If There’s a Chance 843: Chapter 848: See You Again If There’s a Chance Eric was involved in what might be the most niche and obscure business in the world, specializing in selling equipnt needed by spies; this custor base could never be very large.
So Eric’s business might have high profits, but could he make much money?
Indeed, it was difficult.
Moreover, a country’s spy equipnt was definitely not sothing that could be casually sold, and Eric’s business was particularly risky.
From any perspective, the act of secretly selling equipnt that was strictly forbidden by one’s country to be exported was no different from treason, or to put it another way, selling out the country.
A treasonous equipnt dealer couldn’t possibly refuse to sell more goods because it caused greater harm to the country.
Once he embarked on this path, he was inevitably going to follow it through to the end, to the darkness.
So Yang Yi wasn’t surprised when Eric agreed to his terms; if he wasn’t that confident, he wouldn’t have discussed it with Eric directly.
Yang Yi could also tell that Eric was genuinely surprised.
Expanding the custor base was indeed very tempting for Eric.
Then, the matter was settled, and Yang Yi didn’t have to worry about Eric giving him the runaround.
Eric was determined to do business.
“After the deal is done, I can give you the contact details of the custor.
After all, we are not in competition.
You selling more goods has absolutely no impact on .
It’s very normal for friends to help each other out, so why wouldn’t I be willing to introduce the buyer to you?”
After saying this, Yang Yi raised his glass and smiled, “So, let’s agree on that.
Just give a call once you’ve secured the designer, okay?”
Eric shrugged and said in a low voice, “Give two days.
I can persuade him to work in another country, but you must be prepared for the part about taking him away.
For an employee of a sensitive departnt, leaving the United Kingdom isn’t that easy.”
Yang Yi nodded, “We’ll be prepared.”
Eric sighed heavily and said solemnly, “Buddy, that guy is my friend, we’ve known each other for many years.
I don’t want him to get into trouble, and I don’t want him to suffer because of , so you have to ensure his safety.”
Yang Yi smiled, “After spending so much money, my buyers and I certainly won’t be careless.
Rest assured, I guarantee we’ll be able to take him away safely.”
“Let’s leave it at that, hm, do you still need these things?”
Yang Yi had used buying equipnt as an excuse to lure Eric here.
Now that the real business was discussed, if Yang Yi didn’t need the equipnt, Eric would naturally take it with him.
“Of course, I’ll keep the equipnt.
The money should already be in your account.
I’ve added an extra twenty thousand US Dollars as a convenience fee for having you co over.
Buddy, I didn’t explain this beforehand, which was wrong of , but I hope you can understand my predicant.
I apologize again, and hope that this won’t affect our future cooperation.”
Yang Yi apologized sincerely.
Eric chuckled and said, “Of course I understand.
This kind of thing is definitely sothing to be discussed after eting.
This is beneficial for both of us, so why should I be angry?
Alright, I have to leave now.
I will contact you in at most forty-eight hours.
Goodbye.”
Eric stood up, shook hands with Yang Yi, left the briefcase he brought, and departed.
After Yang Yi finished his coffee, he picked up Eric’s left-behind bag and headed in another direction.
Not far from Yang Yi, Anton finished his coffee and followed Yang Yi.
Once back in the car, Anton said in a grave voice, “Did you notice Eric’s eyes?”
Yang Yi sighed lightly, “I noticed.
When I ntioned that I had a business proposition for him and outlined the deal, Eric was very angry and alert.
All he wanted was a safe exit.”
Anton nodded, “He wanted to kill you because what you’re doing really isn’t kosher, but since he couldn’t do it, he just wanted a safe exit.”
“My judgnt is that Eric went through a psychological process of being alert, hesitant, and finally deciding to cooperate.
At first, he refused, but in the end, he genuinely wanted to cooperate, so I decided there was no need to kill him.
Not only could we let him go, but this deal could indeed be completed.”
Anton nodded again, speaking softly, “Eric’s greed saved him.
My view aligns with yours.
He wants to make this money.
Ten million US Dollars is a temptation he can’t refuse.”
Yang Yi pondered for a mont, “What do you think about the value of a designer?”
“Very high.
Even if the designer isn’t the most critical, we can get the most important clues from him.
So we must get a hold of this person.
I think the buyer will be pleased with the initial progress.
If Eric fulfills his promise to send the designer over, then our start is indeed perfect.”
“Perfect?
If the designer escapes, causing the lab that makes caras, or whatever departnt, to take notice and increase their alertness, then it’s a loss not worth the gain.”
Yang Yi was sowhat annoyed.
They definitely needed the designer, but if the designer wasn’t key and his departure made acquiring core technology even more difficult, then it was indeed a loss not worth the gain.
“That’s not for us to worry about now.
What if the designer turns out to be key?”
Yang Yi gave a bitter smile, “Let’s et the designer first and then decide.
If the designer isn’t of much value…”
Anton whispered, “Just fabricate an accidental death, and you’ve completely eliminated the trouble.”
Yang Yi shook his head, “Am I too soft-hearted?
Creating an accidental death is the simplest way to handle it, but I’m sowhat reluctant.
Let’s leave this trouble for the buyer to worry about.
I need to make a call to report the progress to the buyer.”
“I’ll step aside.”
“No, no need.
You drive.
There’s nothing to hide from you.”
Yang Yi made the call, then spoke softly, “Hello, Uncle Wang, I’ve just finalized the deal here.
The seller will send us the designer.
The condition is ten million US Dollars for the seller and three million British Pounds for the designer, plus a job.”
“A designer…
sure, bring him over first, and take it step by step.
After eting the designer, we’ll be able to clarify many things.
The progress is good.”
Yang Yi said solemnly, “The result will co in forty-eight hours, and then I’ll contact you.”
“That’s fine, but don’t contact again.
I have to go back.
I’ll give you a phone number to rember.
You can contact them directly when it’s ti.”
After only one eting, Li Fan was about to leave, and Yang Yi felt an inexplicable reluctance, so he said softly, “Won’t you stay a few more days?
I was hoping to et again for a al or sothing.”
Li Fan replied very calmly, “Maybe another ti…
Goodbye.”
