376. Chapter 376 Annoying negotiation(2/2)
The next few days of negotiations still gave him a splitting headache.
"Mr. Liu, you ask us to ban the sale of weapons and equipment. Are you referring to Fujian alone or to Fujian and Guangzhou as a whole?" Malik asked.
"Of course it means the direction of Fujian."
"So, it's okay for us to sell weapons to businessmen in Guangdong?" Maliko asked with a sarcastic face.
"This... your subordinates are not allowed to resell weapons to Fujian!" Liu Xin didn't know why, but he felt something was wrong.
"How can we control how the next family handles the weapons they buy? Do we have to control how each family cooks the salt we sell after buying it?"
"This... you are using strong words to make sense!" Liu Xin felt that he was a little short of words.
"I'm obviously telling you the facts and reasoning, but where am I arrogant? If you think what I said is wrong, you can point it out and let's discuss it."
Liu Xin calmed down and then argued: "If you can't restrain your family's behavior, then please stop selling weapons in the Fuguang area."
Maliko waved his hands and said: "You mean we are not allowed to engage in arms trade in the Fu-Guang area?"
"Yes, that's what I mean!" Liu Xin said fiercely. He felt that he should have been as tough as he is now a few days ago, and maybe he would have already made the other party surrender.
"Then our selling weapons on Qiongzhou Island will not affect your safety, right?" Malik said with a sneer: "Or do you think that Qiongzhou Island now also belongs to your sphere of influence?"
Liu Xin was dumbfounded for a moment, not knowing how to counterattack Malik. Although the "Eighteen Zhi" was unparalleled in strength on the southeast coast, it was mainly concentrated in the Fuguang area, but it did not extend its tentacles as far as Qiongzhou Island——
Having said that, if even Yazhou could be controlled, how could it be possible to just sit back and watch the Haihan people take root and flourish there and grow stronger.
Moreover, Liu Xin also knew that the Haihan people had great influence in Yazhou, and even the government was clearly on their side. The sea area near Yazhou was also completely controlled by the Haihan people. They included Qiongzhou Island into their sphere of influence.
Liu Xin would not dare to talk nonsense under any circumstances, otherwise it would just add to the laughing stock.
But if you admit that you can't influence Qiongzhou Island, doesn't that mean you admit that the Haihan people have the right to sell weapons on their own in Qiongzhou? If Xu Xinsu can't buy them in Guangzhou, wouldn't he send a ship to buy them on the Haihan people's territory?
First of all, what’s the point of banning sales in mainland China?
"No, no, that's not what happened." Liu Xin quickly sorted out his confused thoughts, waved his hands and defended: "We have no control over your business on Qiongzhou Island. Our requirement is that you cannot do business on Qiongzhou Island.
Anywhere and in any form sell weapons to the Ming Dynasty official army in Fujian."
"Oh... So that's it." Maliko said with a look of sudden realization: "It's okay if we don't sell it to them?"
"Yes..." Liu Xin suddenly felt something was wrong as soon as he said the words, but before he could react, he heard Maliko continue to say: "Then we have nothing to do with others selling it to them!"
This bastard brought his words back again! At this moment, Liu Xin just wanted to get up and beat up the hateful Haihan man in front of him.
Chapter completed!
