Xu Shuhua's Francophone is a little jerky, not as skilled as Wang Jianyue, but she has a strong ability to understand, and she even speaks and compares with Alberg, and when she encounters strange words, she simply writes them on paper, and the communication is smooth.

Gu Yunji didn't understand the language of the franc, and he could hear it in a fog. I saw Xu Shuhua talking for a while, and writing on a piece of paper for a while, frowning from time to time, looking like he was arguing with Albert about something.

At the end of the discussion, she looked a little unpleasant, took a deep breath, and slowly sat back in her chair.

Seeing this, Gu Yunji hurriedly asked, "How is it? What's wrong?"

Xu Shuhua's words were tinged with a hint of anger: "Albert said that the 'collection of repair money' mentioned in the Franc machine version refers to the cost of replacing parts when the firearm is damaged and repaired. But they can't guarantee how much it will cost to replace the parts, the market is always changing, and the exact price depends on the situation."

"I asked him if there was any other way, such as paying a little more when buying a firearm and having them repair and replace it, but he didn't agree. He said that the early sales and later maintenance are separated, and that the purchase of firearms is the money for buying firearms, and the maintenance is the money for maintenance."

"I asked him if he could give us some other guarantees, such as a refund or replacement of a firearm if there is a serious quality problem within three to five years. He still disagreed, saying that once a firearm is sold, it will not be replaced or returned, and if you want to repair it, you will have to pay extra money."

Hearing this, Gu Yunji's heart instantly fell.

No wonder this article is only written in the introduction table of the Franc machine version, which is a huge pit at all.

Sales and maintenance are completely separated, which means that once there is a quality problem with the firearm, the government must add additional money if it wants to repair and replace it, and the price is completely determined by the Franco, which is equivalent to giving the weakness to the other party in vain.

If they monopolize the technology and ask for a sky-high price at that time, the government will have little other way to deal with it than to directly abandon these firearms.

To put it more extremely, it is not completely impossible that the Franc machine deliberately used his hands and feet on the firearms before the delivery, specifically thinking about slaughtering the government through maintenance.

"In special cases, maintenance money will be charged", a simple sentence, in a very inconspicuous position on the paper, but behind it there are hidden traps. If Xu Shuhua hadn't been careful enough to discover the discrepancies between the two versions of the introduction table, if the government signed a contract with the Francophone like this, it would definitely have to make a big mistake.

Gu Yunji's expression was gloomy, and he unceremoniously threw the two versions of the introduction sheet back to Wang Jianyue, and said coldly: "I didn't expect a few people to be so impure in their intentions, and they were thinking about how to calculate people from the beginning. We treat you as guests from afar, and treat you with respect, is that what you are doing in return for us?"

It's one thing to collect maintenance money or not, if the other party writes this article clearly, it can be regarded as honest, and the business is still to be discussed. But the reality is that they concealed this article, intending to take advantage of Gu Yunji and others who did not understand the language of the Franc machine to coax the government to sign a contract, which obviously had ulterior motives.

Most of the people who can sell firearms to Gao Shishu and support the Japanese in disguise are not easy to get along with, and Gu Yunji and the others have long been mentally prepared for this. But they thought that after all, the other party represented the royal family of Franco, and when it came to diplomacy, they needed to be cautious and should not easily deal with it.

Even if you can't be friends for a while, it's good to be able to reach a cooperation. However, it now seems that it is difficult for the two sides to maintain even a purely cooperative relationship of interest.

Mei Feng's face was not very good-looking, and his tone was stiff: "Today, we came with full sincerity on behalf of the government, and I thought that the two royal ministers could give it with the same sincerity, but I didn't expect to be treated like this. If you insist on doing so, then there is no need to negotiate the deal."

"When will your caravan be sincere enough, or directly remove the maintenance payment from the contract, and we will talk about the firearms business."

Albert shrugged when he heard this, and didn't seem to take Mei Feng's words to heart: "In this case, then we won't delay the time of the Governor, we still have something to do today, so we will leave first." As for the terms of the contract, I think you can think again, maybe you'll change your mind."

"I'm not done yet, this

Want to go? Someone—"

Seeing Eberg's indifferent attitude, Su Qi became angry and immediately ordered: "Fence this restaurant for me, no one is allowed to go out without my order!"

"Yes!"

Looking at the soldiers holding sharp blades at the door, Alberg finally found it difficult to maintain his composure, and his face changed: "What do you mean by this? It's just a business, we didn't talk about the achievements, we didn't talk about it, and we didn't force you to buy our things, so you won't let you go?"

"Even the laws of Great Xia do not have regulations that force people to do business with the government, and you have no right to detain us. Is China, which has always regarded itself as a country of etiquette, so arrogant and rude?"

Gu Yunji said casually: "Listening to what Mr. Albert means, he knows our Great Xia laws well, since you know Huaxia so well, you should also know what kind of crime it is to collude with thieves against the imperial court, right?"

Alberg's face turned pale, and his confidence was a little insufficient: "...... We discussed this topic at the beginning, and Governor May said that he would give us time to go back and investigate clearly, and if you said it yourself, will you regret it now?"

Gu Yunji sneered: "Fang is the only way, now is the present, at the beginning we had a friendly and sincere attitude, and we didn't expect you to calculate us. In that case, there is no need to go around in circles with you."

"In the name of the Great Xia Dynasty government, we hereby inform you to immediately stop supplying firearms to the anti-thief Gao Shishu, and accept the disposal of the government, otherwise you will bear the consequences."

The anger in Alberg's heart instantly surged up, and he said angrily, "Notify me? Why? You're not in a position to ask me to do that! I am the Minister of the Royal Family of Franco, and I am on a trade voyage on behalf of my Queen, and I have the right to decide to whom I sell my firearms, and this is my freedom!"

"It is also our freedom to expel you from the country and prohibit the Francophiles from trading in China from now on." Su Qi said coldly, "Albert, don't forget, after all, this is my Huaxia territory, even if you can't move the Franc Machine Royal Family for a while, it will be easy to clean up your small caravan."

"The Franc machine is far away in the West, I don't believe that your queen can mobilize troops across the ocean to fight us for the sake of a few of you, and there is a high probability that it will not be able to do so in the end."

"As for you, if you are not at our disposal then, do you think someone will take care of your life or death?"
