Supreme Man

Chapter 72: I Promise You


"Then why did he choose a racing competition?" Ye Hao voiced his question.

Ye Hao's question made Ji Keci a bit embarrassed to say, "Because his specialty is racing. Although his skills don't match those of F1 drivers, he's really impressive in racing. He wants me to marry him, so he can only use his one special skill! Of course, he does this also to show people a democratic side of him. If I can't find a racer better than him and it's exposed in the media, I'll have to comply and marry him. For my Ji Family to find a complete way to return to the country for development, we had to agree to this bet in advance. But, of course, this bet is just a temporary measure; there's no way I would marry him."

After speaking, Ji Keci chuckled bitterly, "Haha, unfortunately, you're not planning to help me..."

Hearing this, Ye Hao smiled, saying nothing, because he had seen such scenarios a lot while wandering in other countries. It's a woman's nature to appear pitiful when asking for help, making a man feel sympathetic...

Although Lin Ruyu wasn't too pleased with Ji Keci deliberately showing this demeanor, she did sympathize with her. However, such sympathy was not enough to let her encourage Ye Hao to help her race. It was because she saw Ji Keci looking pitiful and Ye Hao remaining unmoved that she resolved to help her somewhat.

"Since Miss Ji has said so, if I refuse again, it would seem a bit inhuman. However, I must say, if Ye Hao loses, you bear the consequence yourself, and if Ye Hao wins for you, you must clear all the pressure from the Hall family. I don't want Ye Hao to help you and then attract a group of desperadoes." Lin Ruyu's red lips slightly parted as she spoke from the standpoint of protecting Ye Hao.

Hearing this, a warm feeling surged in Ye Hao's heart; he didn't expect this girl to care about him so much! It seems he also needs to express his own position now! After all, being a bodyguard might be embarrassing, but it's better than losing one's life in a thrilling life.

"Really? Of course! If Ye Hao helps me, I naturally won't let him bear the pressure from the Hall family. Any pressure at that time will be undertaken by my Ji Family. As long as you help me win this race, I will be extremely grateful to you both. As for what reward you want, as long as it's financial, I can satisfy you." Ji Keci said happily to Lin Ruyu but her gaze was fixed on Ye Hao.

Feeling greatly relieved, at least in her view, Ye Hao dared to perform a beautiful drift of hundreds of meters at extreme speed, breaking many records of world experts. Of course, there may be more skilled people than Ye Hao, but definitely not the young master of the Hall family, so at this moment, Ji Keci felt very calm. However, she was even more eager for Ye Hao to agree to her request.

After all, Lin Ruyu's agreement was only verbal; without Ye Hao's consent, she always felt something was missing, so her gaze remained on Ye Hao...

Ye Hao did not nod in agreement just because of her gaze. Instead, after pondering for a while, he said, "I want to ask you, if your Ji Family could get some more advanced weapon blueprints in Australia, could you continue to establish a foothold there? Even stand shoulder to shoulder with several major arms dealers?" After speaking, Ye Hao also looked up at Ji Keci, pondering something in his heart.

"Of course, as long as we have weapons more advanced than theirs, my Ji Family could establish a foothold in Australia, coupled with our century-long connections and partners eager for our hot weapon collaborations, we would surely advance our arms career by another step, maybe even stand equal to other major arms suppliers, or even attract attention from the Australian military. If the weapons were very advanced, we might even collaborate with the Australian military," Ji Keci explained to Ye Hao candidly, holding no expectations.

"Oh? Collaborate with the Australian military? What benefit would you gain?" Ye Hao asked with curiosity...

"The strength of the Australian military lies mainly at sea. If we could develop anti-rust bullets, guns brought out to sea wouldn't suffer seawater corrosion; such weapons would surely attract the attention of the Australian military. Of course, the Australian military also has such weapons, but they hope that Australia's other arms dealers can develop more advanced ones," Ji Keci laughed.

"According to what you said, if you could develop some airborne missiles, might the Australian military pay even more attention? Even beg to collaborate with you?" Ye Hao joked, though deep down he had another thought...

"Haha! Easier said than done. On this entire earth, except for a few powerful countries that can develop missiles, other weaker countries still buy hot weapons from us arms dealers. As for us, if we could develop some rifles surpassing the domestic Type 95, that would be impressive," Ji Keci shook her head, thinking Ye Hao was being too fanciful. How could these small arms dealers develop something like missiles?

"Haha, that's true, but if someone were willing to provide you with advanced arms blueprints, giving you a chance to continue your foothold in Australia, how would you treat the person providing you with weapons?" Ye Hao jokingly asked as Ji Keci didn't take it seriously.

"As long as he could provide advanced weapon blueprints, my Ji Family promises to give him ten percent of the shares. Of course, the majority share is still with my Ji Family," Ji Keci reservedly said, not disclosing that she only offered ten percent of the shares.

"Haha! Only ten percent? Even if someone had such advanced blueprints, they wouldn't plan to infuse them into your Ji Family! Selling to one of America's Five Titans arms suppliers would earn more than your ten percent," Ye Hao laughed, hinting to Ji Keci that if someone indeed wanted to partner with you, offering only ten percent of the shares wouldn't get you advanced weapon blueprints.

Ye Hao also knows the situation of the world's top ten arms suppliers. Five of them are in the United States, while others like Russia and Japan also have several major arms suppliers, but their developed arms are not as formidable as those of the United States!

In order to achieve better research results, arms suppliers from various countries have also promised that as long as advanced weapon blueprints are provided, and after their verification confirms that the blueprints can develop advanced weapons, they will pay twenty percent of the profits from selling the arms. In other words, if a batch of such weapons sells for ten million, the supplier of the weapon blueprint can get two million in profit.

This is undoubtedly a highly profitable industry! If one can provide some of the latest weapons that surpass those developed by national military research groups, then they can live a life of luxury.

However, the arms business is not easy to mix in. With various new weapons emerging continuously, to develop superior weapons within a certain range requires special weapon materials, raw materials for manufacturing weapons, and even nuclear energy...

But even the world's top ten leading arms groups do not dare to venture much into this field.

After all, the power of nuclear energy is so shocking, it's unimaginable. A single mishap might destroy their entire arms research base.

"This is just me talking casually. If indeed there are such powerful weapon blueprints entering my Ji Family arms company, my Ji Family won't treat them poorly. Although we can't offer thirty percent of the selling profits like the top ten international arms suppliers directly to the person providing the weapon blueprints, we won't treat anyone offering advanced weapon blueprints to my Ji Family badly." Ji Keci explained in response to Ye Hao's words.

Ye Hao nodded with a smile and said, "Alright! But regarding the thing I promised you, although I agreed, I can't guarantee I can race for you on time. Of course! If possible, Peng City has Pan Mountain Road, you could try inviting him to Peng City for the race? That way I won't have to run around everywhere after it's done."

Ji Keci, hearing this, seemed to have thought of something, and with a slightly radiant smile, nodded and said, "You are right, racing! Why does it have to be in Australia? He could also come to Peng City, you know? When you win, it could greatly enhance our national prestige." Needless to say, Ji Keci is quite adorable in some aspects.

"Haha! Deal with it as you see fit. If he doesn't come to Peng City, then it will have to wait until I have some free time to race him. As for when I'll have time, that's a question worth asking my boss." Ye Hao said with a chuckle, looking at Lin Ruyu beside him.

Lin Ruyu also understood that Ye Hao was teasing her past words about there being no vacation during his 24-hour hiring period.

Lin Ruyu blushed and glared at Ye Hao, saying, "If you have an urgent matter, you can go ahead and attend to it! It's not like you have to stay by my side all the time."

"Really?" Ye Hao looked at Lin Ruyu with a slightly mischievous smile.

"Of course! What I say goes, even eight horses can't chase me down." Lin Ruyu raised her little head firmly.

"Then didn't you just promise me at the supermarket door? Why did you start asking questions right after we left? I can't compliment your words, girl..." Ye Hao teased Lin Ruyu with a mischievous look.

Hearing this, Lin Ruyu blushed a bit but still glared at Ye Hao, saying, "That was just because I got fooled by someone. Why are you so petty? Such a small issue and you're holding it against me for so long?" Lin Ruyu hummed at Ye Hao.

"Alright! I give up, it's already noon, let's head back, otherwise Uncle Lin will worry," Ye Hao looked at the sun in the sky and then said to Ji Keci, "Notify me when the event is, the key is whether I have time."

Ye Hao finished speaking and then drove away with Lin Ruyu and Su Qing, leaving Ji Keci sitting alone in place...

(Some brothers say that the protagonist is bullied by the heroine without fighting back. Actually, it doesn't matter. A book is a life. If you are always tough and can perfectly solve every problem, that's not a book, that's a record. Maybe seeing the protagonist as a loser is unpleasant, but when you keep reading, isn't it satisfying when the protagonist rises against the tide? So reading a book is a process. Thank you for your support, even if you rant that this book is garbage, it is still the start of a story. Of course, if you rant at me, I'm also happy for you to click it, thank you!)
