Simon raised his eyebrows in surprise again.
"Mr. Xi," he looked at Xi Jiu with an inquisitive gaze, "with your status in China, buying R7 from the official design institute shouldn't be hard."
"It's indeed not difficult." Xi Jiu spoke slowly, his large hand still resting on the young girl's soft hair, "but I want Baby to earn money."
Ruan Qi submitted the blueprints to the Chinese design institute, which actually includes a profit-sharing agreement. However, since the design institute isn't a profit-driven organization, the share they can offer is less than that of the wealthy Solomon.
Ruan Qi handed over the R7 to the design institute out of goodwill. But Xi Jiu didn't want her to lose too much personal profit.
He wanted the young girl to earn more money.
"I have too many people under my care requiring a large purchase of R7. Besides, I hope to establish a long-term cooperation with Solomon. In the future, all the weapons my men use will be ordered from Solomon."
