Chapter 810: Chapter 480 This Business That Comes Knocking on Our Door_3

Craig Davis was happy to receive a phone call from Sean Knight.

Since he wasn’t around, Sean Knight didn’t stand on ceremony and went straight to the point with his request.

"No problem at all!" Craig Davis readily agreed, "Our overseas branch was established because of you guys. Although the business isn’t booming right now, your island is quite well-known now, so there are indeed prospective customers.

So, regarding the construction mission on your island, our leaders said to give it the green light! I’ll give you a phone number; you contact him directly; he’s now in charge of overseas business."

Sean Knight made a phone call to Simon Evans, the new manager in charge of overseas business, and as Craig Davis had said, upon hearing Sean Knight’s construction projects, he readily agreed, stating that he would soon send someone to the island to coordinate and begin construction as quickly as possible.

After sorting out this matter, Sean Knight went to a certain coastal city.

According to Leader Spencer, his comrade in arms was working there, and the main equipment that Sean Knight wanted to purchase could be packaged for sale from there.

Upon arriving at the location, Sean Knight dialed a mobile number that Leader Spencer had provided.

"Mr. Knight, correct? Where are you now? I’ll send someone to pick you up."

The other party was very polite, clearly already aware of Sean Knight’s identity.

Sean Knight and Elijah Hastings were picked up by a car and taken to a large building together.

"Boss, are they discussing the project here?" Elijah Hastings whispered. He used to be a special forces soldier, but he wasn’t involved in these matters and naturally did not understand them.

"I guess so," Sean Knight ventured. "They surely can’t be taking us to the pier to look at the goods and then pick out armed speedboats like choosing cabbages, right?"

Elijah Hastings thought that made sense; indeed, it was not possible.

The two were taken by a person who introduced himself as Little Xu to a meeting room upstairs, where they were served tea and water before he left the room.

Since they had seen a card for a branch of a famous shipyard outside the entrance and with Leader Spencer’s introduction, Sean Knight naturally didn’t fear being deceived.

It wasn’t even half a minute before Sean Knight heard footsteps.

The person who entered was a forty-year-old middle-aged man with a buzz cut and a square face, resembling a certain actor. His face radiated integrity, and he walked like the soldiers back in their early days, leading Sean Knight to speculate he must have come from the army.

"Good day, Mr. Knight, Mr. Hastings, my name is Kyle Mitchell, and I am in charge of sales. Welcome!"

Kyle Mitchell sat across from Sean Knight and Elijah Hastings, holding a stack of documents, and said with a smile:

"I hear Mr. Knight has an island down south that needs some equipment?"

"Yes," Sean Knight, knowing this was a safe place to speak, responded candidly:

"My island is quite large, and we’ve always coordinated with domestic companies for tourism. A few days ago, an incident occurred, and someone made it into the living area, so I think we need to strengthen our defense forces. I also want to form a sea patrol team, so I need to purchase some equipment."

"What exactly do you need? Feel free to let us know. Some equipment we have available for direct purchase, while others can be coordinated."

"You can coordinate? That’s great. Let me think..."

Sean Knight originally thought he would need to look for several vendors to buy from, but now that the other party could coordinate, he was delightfully surprised.

Elijah Hastings was guessing that Sean Knight must have already caught the attention of the relevant departments. His background was surely well-investigated, and it was even possible that some departments were already aware of this incident.

Sean Knight was solid in his dealings, had a clean background, and his attitude was unproblematic too.

So that’s why Kyle Mitchell could so easily coordinate this matter.

There might even already be a special coordination department set up to handle Sean Knight’s case.

As China strides toward revival and glory, it needs the strength and resources from all aspects.

An overseas big island, when necessary, can have unimaginable significance.

"I would like those armed speedboats, capable of firing short-range anti-ship missiles and equipped with small-caliber machine guns, and the armor should be thicker. Of course, Type 22s are good too, but their bullets are a bit big."

Sean Knight had some knowledge of the situation, so he made a comparison.

"How many would you need?" Kyle Mitchell asked after hearing Sean Knight mention Type 022 missile boats, which are active-duty equipment!

"At least eight, I think?" Sean Knight figured his island was large, so it would be best to purchase a few extra.

Kyle Mitchell thought to himself, that’s some audacity!

When China built those boats during a special period, there were only a few dozen at most, and you want eight for just one island!

"That boat is not cheap," Kyle Mitchell mentioned, having been briefed and made aware of Sean Knight’s situation and knowing the attitude from higher-ups.

Currently, because of practical reasons, some Type 022 missile boats have begun to be decommissioned, so if they were to be sold, as long as they remain in trusted hands, it’s not out of the question.

"They can be sold, but firstly, they are not cheap, and secondly, the missiles on them won’t be the current kind..."

"That’s not a problem. If I remember correctly, the Type 022 is equipped with a 6-barrel rapid-fire close-in weapons system, right? Actually, for the sea surface around my island, that should be sufficient.

As for the missiles, reducing the amount is certainly no issue. Substituting them with some ordinary, or even slightly outdated short-range anti-ship missiles would be ok."

Although an incident had occurred on his island, Sean Knight remained optimistic. He believed that if someone truly had designs on his island again, having the close-defense cannon would be quite formidable.

Paired with a few missiles, they could effectively intimidate the surrounding small countries.

As long as they don’t provoke him, Sean Knight has no intention of foolishly causing trouble for others.

Sean Knight’s demands were relatively low.

Hearing Sean Knight speak this way, Kyle Mitchell wondered if he had been too strict and intimidated the buyer?

That surely wasn’t the higher-ups’ intention!

So he promptly said,

"There’s no need to be so cautious. Negotiations for the eight boats are possible, and the weapons can be discussed. Anything else you need, Mr. Knight?"

Upon hearing this, Sean Knight’s spirits lifted, and it seemed that there was indeed room for negotiation!
