Chapter 873 Do you want to see 055?
Facts have proved that Yellen and Mason together are more difficult to fool than all of Zeng Wangcai's previous targets. Zeng Wangcai has talked a lot, but the two remain indifferent.
Of course, Zeng Wangcai himself knew that his actions this time were a bit reckless and too straightforward, so it was normal for him to be suspected.
But the Three Kingdoms War ended with the Russians and the Americans fighting each other to the death. This was the only way to deal with it that was beneficial to their side.
So, no matter how difficult it is, you have to give it a try, right?
Jiang Gan can still trick Cao Cao into a cripple, right?
"You two look like you don't believe it?" Zeng Wangcai said to Yellen and Mason who had been silent for a long time.
"No..." Yellen said after considering his words, "Mr. Zeng, you and I both know that we are not friends. I don't understand why you have such great kindness towards us. Can we not hide it? You know the purpose of our coming here is to persuade you to give me money.
"Now you agreed so easily, and you even helped the two of us do the family's work. To be honest... we are enemies. We thought about kidnapping you before, and we can't understand your actions."
Damn it, if you don’t accept my toast, you’ll have to drink the wine for punishment.
Zeng Wangcai rubbed his face, his expression slowly darkening: "You are so frank, haha... Yes, we are enemies, but we have a very good saying here, you can listen to it, there are no eternal enemies, no eternal friends, only interests are eternal."
"That... makes a lot of sense!" Yellen and Mason said in unison.
Well, you buy into this, right?
Zeng Wangcai continued, "Look, we have common interests now. You don't want to lose what you had before, but I don't want you to go down and then have someone else come from your two families. That would be no good to me."
"Why? I mean, why is there no benefit?" Yellen asked subconsciously.
Unconsciously, Yellen and Mason fell into the rhythm of Zeng Wangcai's conversation.
What Zeng Wangcai wants is their recognition. Even if it is only one point, Zeng Wangcai can start to deceive people based on this point.
Interests have now become a point of common understanding between the two.
"Because I don't believe that the people your family exchanged for are worse than you!" Zeng Wangcai said with a smile, "For me, it is more beneficial for you to stay in your current position, and you undoubtedly don't want to lose your power, otherwise you wouldn't come to Sijiu City, right!"
What do you mean worse than us?
Are we both bad?
Yellen and Mason were obviously angry. They stared at Zeng Wangcai fiercely without saying a word.
"Well... how about we eat first?" Little Leopard's intelligence really exploded today. He saw that the atmosphere was too awkward, so he broke the silence and said, "We just cooked mutton. If we don't eat it, it will get old. Let's eat and then continue the conversation, or talk while eating?"
"Yes, let's eat!" Zeng Wangcai gave Xiao Bao a thumbs up in his heart. He needed to give the two of them some time to digest the food. "You two, this is the most famous mutton in our Sijiu City. Try it and see if you can get used to it. If not, I'll try something else next time."
Zeng Wangcai is now a qualified host in entertaining guests.
His words just now were a bit harsh, which hit the confidence of both of them. Now let's give them some time to calm down.
Zeng Wangcai believes that with Mason and Yellen's intelligence, it is not difficult for them to figure out the key points. Only cooperation can lead to a win-win situation, or they can hope to keep everything they have now.
Unless the two of them are very loyal family members, but Zeng Wangcai has learned through special channels that neither of them is.
Yellen and Mason are not too afraid of the cold weather in the old city, but eating a mouthful of steaming hot pot and nourishing mutton can still make them feel warm.
After eating a few bites of mutton, the atmosphere at the table became relaxed and no one continued to talk about the previous topic.
Yellen asked meaningfully: "Mr. Zeng, you just proposed joint action. Do you mean...you use your own naval forces? I want to know which ones and why!"
"Haha, I'm frank and I won't hide anything!" Zeng Wangcai wiped his mouth and answered as Yellen wished, "The Russians have sent out a lot of ships in their fleet. This time is different from the previous situation. The shipping ships can't run fast and the routes are fixed. I can't guarantee that my fleet can beat them in a head-on collision. This is the reason for cooperation;
"You asked about my power at sea. I know what you want to say... You are right. You guessed it right. It is the kind of warship you are thinking of. We call it the 055 model. There is also a smaller one, which we call the 052 model. I have a total of six warships, including four 4s and two 055s..."
"Six ships?" Yellen was shocked.
Obviously, he has some knowledge of the legends or information related to 055, and knows that the Seventh Fleet fled at the sight of it.
He was a little bit unconvinced. Zeng Wangcai already had six large ships that were able to scare away the Seventh Fleet. Why would he be afraid of those shabby ships of the Russian bear?
Although what Zeng Wangcai said is more in line with the analysis and speculation of the Eagle Sauce military, Yellen's current main attitude is suspicion.
"Yes, there were originally eight ships, and two were donated to the country!" Zeng Wangcai lied without hesitation, "But this time there are only six escort ships, and the ones in China will not be moved. They have been donated, and there is no reason to take them back for use.
"Look, I'm very sincere. If you want, you don't have to rush back. Contact your family first, and I'll take you with me later. Do you want to go up to 055 and take a look?"
"See? Is this okay?"
"Of course, I said, we are now a community of interests. I want to increase your weight on your side as much as possible. You will be the first foreigner to board 055. How about it? Do you want to go up?"
Yellen and Mason nodded frantically.
Only a fool would be unwilling to do something like this that doesn't require any effort.
That’s settled, let’s continue eating.
After the meal, Zeng Wangcai did not continue the previous topic. He sent the two people to the Great Wall Hotel, booked two suites for them, and then left them there.
Zeng Wangcai believed that no matter whether the two agreed or not, the report would be made and they would get on board the ship.
After Zeng Wangcai left, Yellen consciously moved into the same room with Mason.
"Mason, what do you think?" Yellen asked with a squint.
What do I think?
I'll lie down and watch!
Mason sat down on the bed. There was no sofa in this suite. "Let me report first. To be honest, I don't know what he wants to do. It's so weird!"
"No, no, no, we have to make it clear first!" Yellen sat down on the chair and said in a deep voice, "Our report needs to have a focus. I think Zeng Wangcai is right about one thing. We have the same goal now. Although his words are not very pleasant to hear, but... neither you nor I want to lose power, so... there are some parts that we need to discuss and cannot report."
Zeng Wangcai, this big liar, was ultimately partially successful.
As for whether the latter part could be connected, Zeng Wangcai was not sure, so he went to the sanatorium to ask for advice from an expert...
