Ye Hao quietly thought to himself: Hehe, the data is with the Ji Family, the blueprint is with the military, looks like both sides will have to come to me for what they want!

Qiao Zongheng held the weapon blueprint, and his eyes gradually lit up. The design of this weapon is undoubtedly very novel. Although powerful weapons are studied domestically, none are as flashy as those drawn by Ye Hao. The shoulder guard design alone is perfect.

Xiao Jiu's eyes also shone as he watched, thinking in his heart, could this guy really have come up with this weapon blueprint on the spot? But what about the data? Without data, the blueprint is practically worthless paper!

Thinking about this, Xiao Jiu asked, "This weapon blueprint looks fantastic. If detailed data were added, it would make the weapon even more perfect."

Upon hearing this, Ye Hao smiled and nodded. He knew Ji Keci wouldn't let him share the data, so he pretended that he was about to mention the data and said, "I still remember the data..."

"You don't remember, how could you be so forgetful?" Ji Keci stomped on Ye Hao's foot with her high heel and glared at him.

If Ye Hao were to disclose the data to Huaxia's military, the patents would be hard to claim. Even if Ye Hao provided them with the weapon blueprint, they wouldn't be able to apply for patents over Huaxia, which would definitely hold the sole patent for this weapon.

If this happened, there would be no need for her to collaborate with Ye Hao, and the Ji Family would continue to be oppressed. To end this, she must prevent Ye Hao from sharing the weapon data with anyone else.

"Oh? Forgot about it? I vaguely remember a little bit," Ye Hao played along, acting confused.

"Right, you forgot," Ji Keci, though calm in appearance, felt her heart racing under the pressure from the two major generals.

Xiao Jiu gave Ji Keci a meaningful glance. Qiao Zongheng, despite his nonchalant manner, considered some possibilities: the weapon data was with Ye Hao, but Ji Keci, for some reason, didn't want Ye Hao to reveal the data. However, she looked at the blueprint in her hand with great yearning.

Qiao Zongheng and Xiao Jiu present could be seen as old foxes; while Ji Keci was quite clever, her experience was still too shallow.

Xiao Jiu thought of pausing the topic temporarily and instead returning to discuss thoroughly with his superiors whether or not to grant Ye Hao research rights, and if so, under what conditions!

Their expressions gradually levelled out, no longer hastily concerned. They feared it might backfire, or let Ji Keci obtain the latest weapon blueprint from Ye Hao, or all of the data.

"Forget about it. So, Ye, what do you plan to research?" Xiao Jiu intended to probe Ye Hao's intentions.

"This, it's hard to say! Whatever I remember is what I'll research. Something like aerospace cannon; if I recall, I'd certainly try to research it." Ye Hao's words sounded like a joke to Xiao Jiu and Qiao Zongheng, who both chuckled and gave Ye Hao a glance.

Qiao Zongheng inwardly scoffed at Ye Hao's ambition to research high-tech like aerospace cannon with just a few weapon drawings?

Xiao Jiu also scoffed inwardly, not taking Ye Hao's words seriously at all.

"Alright, I'll wait for you, Ye, to research something like an aerospace cannon, as for your proof... haha, that's not easy. Of course, if the data is complete..." Xiao Jiu left it unsaid.

"Naturally, if Xiao allows me to research, I will try to think of the weapon's data as much as possible." Ye Hao didn't hide further and spoke frankly, reaching this point, continuing to play games would be inappropriate.

"Alright, Ye, wait for our good news. But I hope you don't go too far in certain aspects. After all, you are Hua Xia's soldier." Xiao Jiu, as he spoke, gave Ji Keci a purposeful glance.

Ye Hao understood his meaning, they were simply concerned about him selling the weapon everywhere, while Hua Xia had finished research but the black market sales were already booming, it would provide no advantage to Hua Xia.

"Always remembering I am a Hua Xia soldier, rest assured, Commander." In this matter, Ye Hao acted with clear principles. Since he had already shown his hand, he would definitely provide Hua Xia with better data, and as for the Ji Family's, surpassing the power of common weapons like the AK-47 would be enough.

Exchanging some polite words, Qiao Zongheng and Xiao Jiu hurriedly left, while Ji Keci's eyes were misty as she looked at Ye Hao, scolding softly: "You knew I wanted to collaborate with you, so why did you reveal the weapon blueprint?"

Though Ji Keci's misty eyes were quite lovely, Ye Hao didn't reveal the weapon blueprint to her just because of that.

"How was I supposed to know? Your Ji Family is a major arms dealer, I'm just a student. I might be eaten clean with nothing left by your Ji Family, yet sometimes, I find the national military more reliable." Ye Hao shook off his earlier drunkenness and began eating and drinking heartily.

Seeing Ye Hao like this, Ji Keci stomped her high heels and elongated her voice, "Ye Hao..."

"What's up?" Ye Hao glanced at her while sipping his soup.

"You know the situation of my Ji Family. We really lack the injection of new weapons. If you can sell..." Ji Keci wanted to directly buy out Ye Hao's weapons. Although her father had said the greatest concession was Ye Hao taking fifty percent of the profits, Ji Keci thought this gave Ye Hao too much, so she wanted to directly buy out his weapons.

"Ten billion." Ye Hao didn't even lift his head as he said lightly.

The furious Ji Keci almost stood up, pointed at Ye Hao, and shouted that he was a bastard.

But business and trading are meant to be negotiated, so she suppressed her anger and held back.

"What exactly do you want?"

Ye Hao glanced at her again, thinking to himself, don't you know what I want? You just want me to propose a price and you press it down again.

Ye Hao ignored her, continuing to eat his meal. When he saw that Ji Keci was also holding back from speaking, he smiled and said, "I have class in ten minutes. Consider whether you want to talk!"

Ji Keci's face instantly turned frosty, but for her family to continue in Australia, she could only snort and say, "Wait for me five minutes."

Then she went to call her father, explaining clearly that Ye Hao wanted to bring in a batch of precise machine tools, which they would handle to ship to Huaxia, openly and legally. Ye Hao would only contribute nine billion, the rest would be paid by the Ji Family, and Ye Hao would give them a batch of 'researchable' new weapons a year later.

Ji Mo fell silent at that moment. He wasn't afraid of losing over ten billion, but he was afraid of causing a scandal. If precise machine tools were shipped into Huaxia under his family name, and Ye Hao caused some big issues, like developing some banned items in Huaxia, others would come after his Ji Family.

They might think the Ji Family was secretly researching in Huaxia, or even take action against them. Once the Huaxia government took action, the Ji Family, even with some status in Australia, wouldn't be enough to withstand the pressure from Huaxia, so he considered these aspects thoroughly.

"Dad, if he can get research approval from the Huaxia military, is it unrelated to us?" Ji Keci understood what her father was worried about, so she asked.

"If there's research approval from the Huaxia military, it's naturally no issue. But the problem is whether he can obtain that approval at all!" Ji Mo didn't believe Ye Hao could get military research approval, even if Ye Hao had private research labs, as Huaxia has always prohibited private companies from researching banned items independently.

"If he can't get research approval, we can delay the logistics operation until he gets it, and then sign off on it, can't we?" Ji Keci thought of a feasible solution.

"This could work, but... we're getting the weapons a year late; we've been suppressed way too much! If he could deliver them six months earlier..." Ji Mo's words meant he intended for Ji Keci to find a way.

"Dad, let me negotiate and see how it goes. If it's possible, then our Ji Family will partner with him. If it really doesn't work, I'll try to get him to deliver earlier, how about that?"

"Okay!"

Ji Keci ended the call and sat down inside, seeing Ye Hao still eating. She couldn't understand what was so good about plain white rice.

Ye Hao naturally cherished his peaceful life now, after spending time abroad, prioritizing eating well every day.

"Can you get research approval from the military?" After watching for a while, Ji Keci asked.

"If they want the blueprints and data on new weapons, they'll naturally give me the permit. If they don't want it, then I can't do anything about it. I might as well not bring in machine tools, since I already have a precision machine tool." Ye Hao didn't know what Ji Keci meant by her words, but he did have a precision machine tool, obtained from destroying the Cyan Snake mercenaries in South Africa.

He wasn't trying to show off, but to tell Ji Keci that if she couldn't get him a batch of advanced weapons, she shouldn't expect to obtain his weapon blueprints either.

"Can you give my Ji Family the weapon blueprints earlier?" Ji Keci didn't want to dwell on that issue and wanted to see when Ye Hao could deliver them.

"Haha, I know your Ji Family is eager to use them. So here's the thing, you buy the precision machine tools for me right now, and I'll give you the weapon blueprints immediately. However, regarding the value of these weapons, I believe your Ji Family has come to a conclusion, so I'd also like some shares. As for how your Ji Family distributes them, I'll let you decide. Of course! If we want to be long-term friends, I naturally hope you can plan carefully..." Ye Hao's words had a dual meaning, namely that he expects the precision machine tools first, then gives the weapon blueprint to the Ji Family. Additionally, he needs shares when the weapons succeed in research and are sold. He will accept whichever the Ji Family decides to give. If they offer a lot, future collaboration can continue; if they offer little or are stingy, there will be no future cooperation.

Ji Keci, though not fully aware of the weapon's importance, remembered her father's instructions and nodded...(To be continued.
