Extraordinary Genius
Chapter 381: Double spy

Zhang Ruiqiang and Chief Lee decided to follow Feng Yu’s plans.

Feng Yu was happy. This was like war. How can one win a war without using some tactics? But why was Zhang Ruiqiang looking at him in disgust? Zhang Ruiqiang seemed like he had been cheated by Feng Yu. Huh? Did I trick him in the past? Maybe. But I had increased the City Government’s tax revenue and the civilians’ income.

Furthermore, Feng Yu had told him that if the talks went on as planned, he would teach him a way to let his fiancée marry him.

……

That night, Ivanov and his team were at the Cultural Palace, watching performances. Even though they do not understand Chinese, they still enjoyed themselves.

They felt that the Bing City Government was more inclined towards Russia. If not, why would Bing City Government prepare such performances for them?

They would return back to Russia after the negotiation was over. They would return with a considerable achievement. Australia and Bing City was too far apart. The climate was also different. They felt that Australia was not a threat to them.

“Xue, do you have any good news for us?” Ivanov smiled and asked. He was very confident that he would win in this negotiation.

Although the Russian Officials were able to offer more than 2,000 USD, the average income of Chinese was meager. Their offer was based on China’s average income at that time.

If they could clinch this deal, their higher-ups will close one eye and let them off. After all, they were doing this for the good of their motherland.

If he agreed to his demands now, then will he ask for 200,000 USD tomorrow for another information?

“5,000 USD. This is the final offer.” Ivanov tested him.

“Wait, 10,000 USD!”

“Fine. I agree.”

“But I will only give you 10,000 USD first. After hearing your information, I will decide if I shall pay you the rest.” Ivanov added a condition.

“Full payment of 100,000 USD. I will tell you once I receive the money.”

“You are not afraid that I will tell your leaders about you receiving money from us?” Ivanov threatened him.

Ivanov looked at his assistant and said: “Go and get the Rubles.”

“I said that I want USD. Only USD. Once I received the money, I will leave China.”

“Fine. Are you not curious why Mayor Zhang did not appear for this afternoon’s talks?”

“I thought he had some urgent matters to attend to?”

“That’s right. He was attending to some matters. But did you know where he went to? He went to Shenzhen to meet with the Australian’s agricultural ministry’s team!”

“What? The Australian’s agricultural team is here too?”

Ivanov was shocked. That means China had a backup plan. So tonight’s welcome celebrations were not to foster relationships with, but it was to stall time.

“But so what? We knew about this in the afternoon. This information is not worth 100,000 USD!” Ivanov furiously said.

“What if I told you that Bing City’s actual target is Australia? The talks with Australia had started since last year. They are only using you to pressurize them. The conditions offered by the Australians were much better than yours. If you are going to let this opportunity slip away, then just treat this trip as a short holiday for you and your team.”

Ivanov was shocked. We are……s only the second choice?
