Incredible Insight: Toy Factory Discovers Swarm Drones

Chapter 113...wait, isn’t the price in this contract written incorrectly?Secretary Xiao Zhao was very efficient. After a burst of keyboard clicking, a small device connected to a portable printer spat out several pages that were still warm.

”President Liu, it’s been drafted.”

Xiao Zhao handed the contract to Liu Jianguo.

Without even looking, Liu Jianguo signed his name with a flourish and then slapped the contract heavily onto the desk in front of Li Jiajun.

”Xiao Li, sign it! Once you sign, the money will be in your account immediately!”

His tone was urgent, as if he were afraid that if he were a second late, Li Jiajun would change his mind.

Li Jiajun looked at the procurement contract, which was of the level of a formal government document, feeling delighted.

’One hundred ropes, one hundred thousand each—that’s ten million!’

’I’m really hitting it big this time; it’s even more profitable than selling elderly joys! As expected, doing business with the state is much more satisfying. It’s not like that dead fatty Smith, who even tried to pull some return-and-refund blackmail.’

As he thought happily, he picked up the pen.

Out of a businessman’s instinct, he subconsciously glanced at the amount column before putting pen to paper.

With just that one glance, his hand froze in mid-air.

”Huh?”

Li Jiajun blinked, wondering if his eyes were playing tricks on him because he had stared at the sun for too long.

He leaned in closer and carefully counted the zeros after that long string of numbers.

[Unit Price: 800,000.00 CNY]

[Total Price: 80,000,000.00 CNY]

Eighty... eighty million?!

Li Jiajun stared blankly at the number, his heart skipping a beat.

Wasn’t it ten million?

How did it become eighty million?

Where did this extra seventy million come from? Did it fall from the sky?

He instinctively looked up at Liu Jianguo, only to see him looking back with a kind expression, his eyes full of encouragement, as if saying: ”Sign it, child, you deserve this.”

A sense of unreality enveloped Li Jiajun.

As someone who loved money, he should have been ecstatic at this moment.

But as a normal person with a bottom line—and currently in a state of confusion—he couldn’t help but point his finger at the number and ask weakly:

”Um... Uncle Liu.”

”What’s wrong? Is there a problem?” Liu Jianguo asked with a smile, in high spirits.

”Was this contract... printed incorrectly?”

Li Jiajun swallowed and said honestly, ”The price on here... seems to have an extra zero? No, it’s several times more than it should be.”

”An extra zero?”

Liu Jianguo froze for a moment, then turned to Secretary Xiao Zhao with a slight frown. ”Xiao Zhao, what’s going on? How could you mess up such important data?”

Xiao Zhao turned pale with fright and quickly leaned in to look. Then, with a face full of grievance, he said, ”No... it’s correct, President Liu! Didn’t Factory Director Li just quote one hundred thousand? The current exchange rate is about one to eight. One hundred thousand USD converted to CNY is eight hundred thousand. My calculation is very precise!”

As soon as those words were spoken...

Li Jiajun was dumbfounded.

’What? Exchange rate?’

’USD?!’

He opened his mouth wide, looking at Xiao Zhao, who took it for granted, and then at Liu Jianguo, whose expression was gradually becoming strange. Finally, he realized.

So... when he quoted ”one hundred thousand” just now, these big shots automatically assumed it was one hundred thousand USD?!

’Holy crap...’

He thought to himself, speechless.

’This misunderstanding has gone too far. Am I that kind of black-hearted businessman? If I dared to sell them for one hundred thousand USD each, I’m afraid my dad would come up from the underworld in the middle of the night to take me away!’

At a time like this, if he went along with the mistake and kept quiet, that seventy million would be safely in his pocket.

But looking into Liu Jianguo’s eyes, which were full of trust, Li Jiajun’s mouth twitched, and he ultimately lost to his damn conscience.

”Cough, cough...”

He scratched his head and said somewhat awkwardly, ”Um... Uncle Liu, I think you might have misunderstood.”

”I meant... one hundred thousand CNY.”

”Not USD.”

Silence.

Dead silence.

Liu Jianguo felt his brain buzz, as if he had been struck with a club.

One hundred thousand... CNY?

Meaning, roughly ten thousand-plus USD?

Something that cost a little over ten thousand USD, that Ugly Country company turned around and wanted to sell to them for ten million USD?!

This wasn’t just profiteering anymore!
