Chapter 254 Signing a Contract
Evelyn didn't believe Lu Chen when he said he didn't want to buy Lieqi Shipyard. She said:
"Honey, you can lie to others with this statement, but you can't lie to me. With your petty personality, you must want to kill Mitchell. Just tell me how you plan to deal with Mitchell, maybe I can help you."
Lu Chen rolled his eyes at Evelin, then said:
"If you want to help me, you'll have a chance tomorrow."
Evelin blinked and asked, “What do you want me to help you with?”
Lu Chen said, "The Lieqi Shipyard will also come to sign the contract tomorrow. I need you to help me sign the purchase contract with Mitchell."
Evelin was stunned, and then said with some confusion:
"Why do I have to go and sign a contract with Lieqi Shipyard? Can't you just go there yourself? I know you might say that if Mitchell finds out it's you, he might not sign a contract with you, but you're wrong. If you give him the order, he will definitely not refuse it. He won't refuse money."
After thinking about it, Lu Chen gave Evelin a brief introduction of the order, letting Evelin know that the two frigates Lu Chen ordered to Lieqi Shipyard were not in Xiao Rizi's order, but were two frigates Lu Chen ordered for himself using the extra price difference.
The impact of this order in the United States has been huge. The signing of the contract will definitely be reported in the newspapers, and Xiao Rizi will definitely get the news. If Xiao Rizi learns that Lu Chen has also ordered two frigates, he will definitely suspect that Lu Chen has made a lot of money in the process. And according to Xiao Rizi's stingy character, he will definitely send someone to check the price. In this way, Lu Chen will definitely not get so many benefits from this order. So Lu Chen thought of letting someone else sign the contract on his behalf. He wanted to use this to paralyze Xiao Rizi. Of course, deceiving Mitchell to make his subsequent plans smoother was also Lu Chen's idea.
After Lu Chen finished explaining to Evelin, he looked at Evelin and asked:
"So, would you do me a favor?"
Evelin thought for a moment and said, “Okay, although I know you must have more than one purpose, but you are my dear. I will reluctantly agree to it.”
After struggling for a while, Lu Chen asked:
“Evelyn, let me ask you again, is it possible for Mitchell to know that you are my girlfriend? This is very important to me.”
Evelin rolled her eyes at Lu Chen and said, “I’m not familiar with Mitchell.”
Hearing Evelyn's answer, Lu Chen felt relieved. It seemed that Mitchell probably didn't know about his relationship with Evelyn. But just to be on the safe side, Lu Chen planned to have Xiaorizi make an official announcement after signing the contract, clearly announcing that only two battleships and two cruisers were being purchased. In this way, Mitchell would definitely not doubt it anymore.
The next morning, Lu Chen asked Locke and Martin to drive him and Evelin to the state capital. Lu Chen left first, and Evelin arrived half an hour after Lu Chen.
Lu Chen rushed to the state capital and met Franklin. He immediately asked Franklin:
"Mr. Governor, are all the representatives from the several shipyards here?"
Franklin looked at his watch and said, "You're here too early. It's only 8 o'clock, and the signing ceremony will start at 9:. The shipyard representatives haven't arrived yet, and they'll probably arrive at the state capital around o'clock."
Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that he was too late.
After Franklin finished speaking, he asked Lu Chen:
"By the way, where is the person who signed the contract with the Lieqi Shipyard on your behalf? Has he arrived yet?"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "I was just about to tell you about this. The person who signed the contract with Lieqi Shipyard on my behalf this time is Ms. Evelin. My people will drive her over here in a while. When the time comes, please take her to sign the contract with Lieqi Shipyard."
Franklin smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Lu Chen, I will arrange someone to lead Ms. Evelin.”
On the other hand, Mitchell was very upset after receiving the notice from Franklin. He didn't expect that the other party would choose the frigate among the several plans designed by the professional designer. Two frigates, but only an order of 600 million. What's the use of this to him? He was eyeing the two battleships.
He originally thought that his design for the two battleships would definitely win the order. Just based on the 430 knot speed, this design has already beaten all battleships. Not to mention the mm main gun. With such a battleship, he believed that he would definitely get the order.
He felt that he was definitely being targeted. How could he not get the order with such an excellent design?
So he didn't want to attend the signing ceremony. Or rather, he didn't want the order now. But his father called him yesterday and told him to pay attention to the signing ceremony. He told him to leave a good impression on Franklin. Because according to the current situation, it is certain that the next president will be Franklin. They bet on the wrong horse this time. They must not leave a bad impression on Franklin again. Only in this way can they avoid being targeted by Franklin during his term.
Although Mitchell was very unhappy, he still left his company with a few subordinates and headed to the state capital because of his father's instructions. But to show his dissatisfaction, he arrived at the state capital at 9:. It was neither early nor late.
As soon as Mitchell arrived, the staff immediately took him to a hall.
Evelin had been waiting in the hall for more than half an hour, and Mitchell hadn't arrived for so long, which made Evelin very dissatisfied, so Evelin's face was also very ugly at this time. Seeing Mitchell walk in unhurriedly, Evelin was even more angry.
Mitchell was in a better mood when he saw that the girl he signed the contract with was actually a beautiful girl. He smiled and walked forward, just as he was about to get close to Evelin. Unexpectedly, Evelin spoke first.
Evelin looked at Mitchell who was coming with a dark face, and when Mitchell approached, she immediately said in a yin-yang tone:
"Hey, the big shot is finally here. I thought you weren't going to sign the contract today."
Hearing Evelin's words, Mitchell's smile froze. He could hear the dissatisfaction in Evelin's words. This instantly ruined his originally good mood. He thought to himself, you are still dissatisfied, but I am still dissatisfied. If it weren't for Franklin's face, I wouldn't have come today.
But he was well-educated, and he did not show his emotions on his face in public. With a formal smile on his face, he said to Evelyn:
"I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting."
When the host saw Mitchell coming, he did not delay any further and immediately presided over the signing ceremony.
