The champagne popped with a bang that echoed through the conference room.
Lu Chengwen shook the bottle wildly, spraying champagne everywhere.
"Yeah—!"
"Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah!"
Eric roared, "What the fuck are you doing?! Are you insane?!"
Lu Chengwen handed the champagne to someone else, vaulted over the negotiating table, and landed beside Roger, taking his hand.
"Congratulations, Mr. Roger. You got thirty thousand electric cars with zero down payment, and you won't even start repaying them until three years from now. At bargain-bin prices, too! Your president will definitely be pleased with an order like this."
Roger smiled and patted the back of Lu Chengwen's hand. "It is regrettable that we could not work with Huo Group this time, but President Huo and CEO Lu will always be our friends."
"Friends! Absolutely friends! Brothers for life!"
Lu Chengwen said, "At this price, forget you—I want to buy them myself! It'd be worth it just to resell them! You could cash out several billion directly, run them for three years, then use the profits to pay off the cars in installments. That's a bloody fortune! There really are such good deals in this world! Yeah!"
Roger laughed. "Huo Group and Aimei are both generous enough to value friendship more than profit, which is why I..."
Before Roger could finish, Lu Chengwen had already let go of him.
Roger stood there with both hands empty, looking like an idiot.
Lu Chengwen spread his arms and walked toward Eric.
Eric covered his face. "What are you doing?! Get lost!"
"Eric! My dear friend!"
Eric was utterly stunned. He leaned back, his face full of terror.
A security guard shoved a hand against Lu Chengwen's chest. "Sir, please step back..."
Lu Chengwen dislocated his shoulder with one move and kicked him aside.
