But soon the two of them understood why the other person wasn't good at speaking English.

Because the guy who answered the call wasn't a customer service rep at all; he was actually the owner of the gaming company.

Their company had already gone bankrupt, and he was the only one left dealing with the remaining assets.

No wonder he was up at eight in the morning working.

If it were a real Parisian working-class customer service person, you probably couldn't reach them before noon.

Otherwise, if they actually thought the workers in the old revolutionary area were mere cattle, they should consider the glorious achievements of their unions in the past.

Luobu, frustrated by the other person's lack of fluency, became increasingly anxious and couldn't help but throw in some German.

It turned out that while the guy wasn't good at English, he was actually quite fluent in German.

So Luobu simply started communicating with him in German.

The communication immediately became smoother.

Soon enough, they were discussing the price.

"The guy said, the 3D panoramic modeling of the Paris Goddess Temple is unique in the world. This model is why their company went bankrupt. If you want to buy it, it'll cost at least 200,000 Euros."

"Nonsense, with 200,000 Euros I could just hire someone to go to Paris and make one myself."

Chen Yiyang replied, "Tell him I don't have any Euros, only US Dollars. Will 100,000 USD work?"

"The other side countered with 130,000 USD."

"Alright then," Chen Yiyang calculated that 130,000 USD was less than a million RMB.

The US Dollars in his overseas account had been sitting there for a while, unspent.

This time, he'd use it to buy this model.

"How will he deliver it? How can I be sure that after selling it to me, he won't copy and paste it to sell to others?"

"The guy said, the whole 3D panoramic model requires hundreds of hard drives for storage. If he has to transfer it online, it might take over ten days. If you're willing to pay, he can pack the hard drives into boxes and arrange for an air courier to fly it over to you. But the shipping isn't cheap, it'll be over 100,000."

"Over 100,000 Euros?" Chen Yiyang was startled.

"No, over 100,000 RMB, I converted it automatically."

Germans are really good at math.

Chen Yiyang thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Having already spent nearly a million, he didn't mind an extra 100,000 or so.

Moreover, the guy was right.

This entire 3D panoramic model, if transferred online, might lose packets.

And it would take a lot of time.

Currently, the fastest global data transfer is still transporting hard drives on large trucks directly.

A plane would be even faster.

Seeing that Chen Yiyang agreed, Luobu communicated with the other side.

Soon enough, both sides had reached a complete agreement.

Chen Yiyang would first pay a ten percent deposit, and the other party would send him the air courier invoice to pay.

After the hard drives were loaded onto the plane, Chen Yiyang would pay thirty percent more.

The remaining balance would be paid after Chen Yiyang inspected the goods and confirmed they were correct.

Due to being separated by almost half the globe,

this transaction was purely a gentleman's agreement. Neither side had a way to counteract if the other played tricks.

But the guy on the other side was also a gaming nerd, and they shared common topics with Chen Yiyang and Luobu.

After chatting for a while, the three of them even agreed to play games together that night.

The French guy was quick to act.

After Chen Yiyang sent over the ten percent deposit, he quickly found a flight that was about to take off.

He packed the hard drives into two full large boxes and loaded them onto the plane.

After receiving the invoice, Chen Yiyang paid the shipping fee.

Before the evening, the Paris Goddess Temple 3D panoramic model that Chen Yiyang wanted to buy was already on its way.

So after Chen Yiyang, Luobu, and the leather-jacketed girl had dinner,

the leather-jacketed girl went home, leaving Chen Yiyang and Luobu at Chen Yiyang's apartment to turn on the computer and run games with the French guy across the ocean.

Chen Yiyang played until around eleven at night.

Then he received a call from Natasha.

So he went from the living room to the bedroom to take the call.

"There's news from Gena's side. He said the mobile phone parts you sent over are too outdated. Even Russians wouldn't use such outdated parts to assemble phones."

"Alright, I see." Chen Yiyang nodded.

He didn't have high hopes for this deal anyway.

Although he didn't know much about mobile phone parts, the factory district bosses mainly focused on making phones for the elderly.

You can imagine how outdated their technology is.

It's normal for the Russians not to need them.

So how should he respond to Yang Chengru about this?

Chen Yiyang was pondering when he saw a pop-up on his phone with today's bargain news.

Today's news: A mobile phone company in trouble — Shan City's Chuanyin Mobile Phone Company's business expansion in Africa encountered troubles. The shareholders are seeking to sell six percent of Chuanyin Company's shares. Buying these shares within 50 million is considered a bargain.

50 million for six percent of the shares?

And this is considered a bargain price?

What kind of company is this mobile phone company?

Chen Yiyang thought for a moment; he seemed to have never heard of this company.

And he'd never seen this mobile phone company's products in the country.

However, Chen Yiyang remembered the leather-jacketed girl mentioning that Luobu worked as a technical support engineer for a mobile phone company in Shan City.

So he went back to ask Luobu, "Do you know a local mobile phone company in Shan City called Chuanyin?"

Luobu was at that moment making a choice for her Paladin character.

Chen Yiyang's shout made her hand slip, and she chose the wrong option.

Broken oath!

So she looked at Chen Yiyang with a dejected face and said, "I work at that company."

"Is your company facing some trouble recently?" Chen Yiyang asked curiously.

"It's my off-duty time now." Luobu replied, even more displeased, "We Germans don't work overtime, okay?"

"As if employees of foreign companies in our country also work overtime," Chen Yiyang said, sitting beside Luobu, "I'm just asking casually."

"I guess so," Luobu said, "It's all those pesky French causing trouble. Our company was selling phones too successfully in Africa, and they got jealous. So they got a bunch of environmental groups to claim that our phones have environmental issues and that they would cause permanent harm to the local environment after being discarded, planning to ban our sales in African countries influenced by France."

"Hey there, I heard you guys say France in Chinese. I just learned how to pronounce France in Chinese on Google," the French guy yelled through the headphones.

"We were discussing World War II," Chen Yiyang searched for how to say this in French and recited it to the French guy.

Suddenly, there was silence on the other side.

"Go ahead with what you were saying," Chen Yiyang turned back to Luobu.
