Chapter 3344: This Lad Is So Shrewd (4)

“This Divine General is very clear of the value of these illustrations now, and the allied armies definitely want to get these drawings. But…”
Mu Mingjiang paused and looked straight into Huang Yueli’s eyes before saying, “Young Master Li, as you know, the allied armies military expenses are very limited each year because there are a lot of expenses incurred at various places. So even if your illustrations are extremely useful, we can only purchase them at a reasonable price. I hope you can understand this.”
Huang Yueli rose an eyebrow. Towards what Mu Mingjiang had said, she wasn’t particularly dissatisfied or surprised.
No matter what, it wouldn’t be normal if the buyer didn’t try to bargain during a purchase. Moreover, this was such a huge transaction!
She replied calmly, “Of course I understand! I always emphasize on fair trade, and I will sell my illustrations at a reasonable price. Please do not worry about this!”
Her reply left Mu Mingjiang slightly surprised.
His gaze towards Huang Yueli became even more solemn. Besides being guarded, there was a slight trace of admiration.
On one hand, it was because even under a Dao Profound Realm top exponent’s suppression, Huang Yueli retained neither servile nor overbearing attitude from the start to the end. On the other hand, it was because of the message revealed in Huang Yueli’s words.
The “reasonable price” that she referred to would surely be a far cry from the allied armies’ “reasonable price”.
Apparently, Huang Yueli had already seen through the allied armies’ intention to bargain but she did not immediately haggle over it. Instead, she spoke with a calm attitude and tone to express her firm stand.
This also meant that she was experienced in bargaining. She would probably be a tough opponent.
Mu Mingjiang originally assumed that Huang Yueli, at her tender age but with such exceptional skills, would definitely be like most Spiritual Armament Masters who were ignorant about things outside the arts of Spirit Armaments.
But in reality, things were different from what he had imagined.
In this manner, Mu Mingjiang couldn’t say whatever he had planned initially!
From Huang Yueli’s laughing eyes which seemed to have seen through everything, Mu Mingjiang felt that if he said certain things, not only would it not help in this situation. It might even embarrass him, this Divine General!
He pondered for a while and said, “Since Young Master Li is such an understanding person, then This Divine General will not waste time on superfluous words. Why don’t we be more direct? I wonder how much is Young Master Li intending to sell these? If possible, can you give me a figure, and I’ll do my utmost best to apply for it with the Headquarters?”
Although he had already reported to the Headquarters about the new situation involving these illustrations, the allied armies’ side would probably need to discuss it further when they received the news. That would take time, so it was impossible to find out about the conclusion right now.
Huang Yueli smiled upon hearing that.
“Great, I like such a direct and efficient style! Since that’s the case, I will say out my price. I won’t dupe you as well. The price of one illustration is… 300 thousand low grade jade quartz and 30 thousand military merits! What do you think?”
Hearing that, Mu Mingjiang’s eyes lit up. He almost thought that he had heard her wrongly!
Because the price that Huang Yueli offered was simply too reasonable! It was so reasonable that he didn’t dare to believe that she was so understanding.
Originally, the allotted price he was authorized to deal with was one illustration at 300 thousand low grade jade quartz or 30 thousand military merits. But that was before they found out that Huang Yueli’s illustrations could save thirty percent of the materials!
