Chapter 219: Accepting a New Challenge
Originally, Mason was jealous of Wu Tao's Chinese background, but now that he found that he didn't care about the deal, all the doubts in his heart faded, and then he said: "Deal!" ā
"Ok, deal!" Wu Tao stretched out his hand and shook hands with Mason. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Mason added with a smile: "Wu, the first batch of ten multi-legged intelligent robots, if the application effect is satisfactory, our base should continue to order in the future." ā
"Oh, nonono!" Wu Tao reminded with a smile: "Lieutenant General Mason, the price will not be so low for the follow-up order." In fact, each of these 10 multi-legged intelligent robots costs as much as $3 million. So this deal, I didn't make a profit from you. This is just a useful attempt for our two sides to cooperate, and I thank Lieutenant General Mason for his trust. ā
"Really?" Mason shook hands again rather unexpectedly and said, "Thank you so much, Wu." ā
Wu Tao secretly wondered: 'Of course it's fake, if you don't say that, how can you be so grateful to me? ā
Then the two sides immediately began to negotiate the contract, and Mason first said: "Wu, I must remind you that so many retired military helicopters can only be used as civilian helicopters within the territorial scope of the Hawaiian Islands. ā
"Of course!" Wu Tao said without hesitation: "I will register all of them under the name of Tianyu Engineering Construction Company, and use them only in Hawaii State." However, you must provide training in piloting skills, and the intelligent multi-legged robots we provide can only be used for the overhaul and maintenance of the Pearl Harbor aircraft carrier group, and are never allowed to be provided to Tianyu's competitors for research and use. ā
Mason's blue eyes flashed with a twinkle, and he laughed: "sure!" ā
Half an hour later, the contract was officially signed.
The contract stipulated that as a deposit, the Pearl Harbor base would first provide 50 speedboats to Tianyu Engineering Company. As for the remaining helicopters, they will be professionally overhauled and maintained by its manufacturer, Sikorsky, and will be provided to Tianyu Engineering Company after the intelligent maintenance robot provided by Tianyu arrives.
In addition, the helicopters provided at the Pearl Harbor base have at least a 10-year civilian lifespan. And the service life of a speedboat can be a little shorter, but it must also reach five years. This is a requirement for the quality of the exchanged items, in case of a scrap copper and rotten iron back, a minor repair in three days, and a major repair in five days, it is better to buy a civilian helicopter directly to cost-effective.
After agreeing, Wu Tao got up and left. After saying goodbye to Lieutenant General Mason, accompanied by Simon, he left the base building.
The convoy returned to the agreed place, and not long after, the film crew returned. Judging by the expressions of Angel and Lu Nan, there should be no problem in the negotiation of movie location.
So the group got in the car and returned to the Honolulu villa.
At Wu Tao's suggestion, the crew members restrained themselves from going out, but chose to nest in the villa for vacation.
Fortunately, the facilities and views of the three villas are excellent, not only can they see the endless sea view, but also have a large heated swimming pool, and the villas have everything you need to drink and eat, but it will not be too monotonous.
After dealing with technical solutions and company affairs in the study for several hours, Wu Tao came out near evening. The large-screen TV in the living room is broadcasting the news in turn, and the grandstand is Kiku TV.
Outside the terrace, Leng Wei, who was wearing a purple one-piece swimsuit, and Liu Bei, who was wearing a red one-piece swimsuit, were lying on a beach chair, as if they were in the middle of a sweet dream.
Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared on the TV, and Wu Tao, who came back from a bottle of water from the bar, was immediately attracted.
I saw Eliza say with a stern expression: "Ladies and gentlemen, this station has just received news that the Ebola variant from Africa has been infected in many countries around the world. The infected people who were found died within twenty-four hours without exception, and medical experts predicted that the mortality rate would be more than ninety-five percent! The World Health Organization has urgently upgraded the Ebola variant to level 3! ā
Wu Tao felt a pang in his heart, since the media has made it public, it means that the epidemic is so serious that it can't be contained.
The next moment, the TV camera turned to the voice of the male anchor who was broadcasting behind the scenes: "According to incomplete statistics from the US Health Organization, more than 100 infected patients have been found in the federal territory. These people are currently scattered across the state, and all of them have recently traveled to Africa or come into contact with Africans. ā
āā¦ā¦ In response, the state government of Hawaii has long taken precautionary measures and conducted strict screening management of passenger flow in and out of the country. Therefore, if you are classified as a suspected infected patient, please actively cooperate with the work of the state government and consciously accept treatment, observation and isolation. ā
I don't know when, Liu Bei has already stood behind Wu Tao, and said very happily: "Boss, thanks to your reminder, everyone didn't go out." ā
Wu Tao said apologetically: "It's a pity that I can only grieve everyone to nest in the villa for recreation." ā
"It's okay, it's just like the resort, it's not boring at all." Liu Bei's face was happy.
Leng Wei's graceful figure walked in from the terrace and said, "Of course you are not bored, I am suffocated, and I can only be your old mother in the villa." ā
Liu Beiyan smiled and said, "Sister Wei, Wenwen can't cook, it doesn't mean that I can't either!" So I'll make dinner today, so you can sit back and wait for it to be tasted. After speaking, he turned to Wu Tao and said, "Boss, what kind of cuisine do you want to eat today?" ā
"Yo-ho?" Wu Tao was surprised: "Listen to this tone, you can do any cuisine!" Let's have a Sichuan meal, I haven't tasted it for a long time. ā
Leng Wei glanced at Liu Bei and said, "Dead Nizi, why don't you ask my opinion?" ā
Liu Bei had an idea and said, "Sister Wei, I also want to eat Sichuan food." So the three of us obey the majority, two to one, and let's make Sichuan food. After saying that, he ran away.
Leng Wei looked at Liu Bei's back, shook her head lightly, turned around, looked at Wu Tao and said, "Have you seen enough?" ā
Wu Tao withdrew his reluctant gaze from the other party's bewitching figure and said, "No." ā
Leng Wei stomped lightly and said in a low voice: "You tossed all night last night, haven't you been fed yet?" The thought of the intense and incessant screams from upstairs last night made her feel tingling all over her body for no apparent reason. Immediately, the delicate body twisted back to the room, and thought as she walked: "Could it be that people who engage in scientific research are so energetic?" ā
The TV news moved on to the next one, but it was still related to the Ebola variant.
āā¦ā¦ Ladies and gentlemen, many national biomedical laboratories and well-known university laboratories in the United States have announced the launch of research on the Ebola variant, hoping to overcome this tenacious virus as soon as possible. ā
Just then, the phone rang. Wu Tao picked it up and heard that it was Mia, and immediately instructed: "Mia, tell everyone to keep a distance from outsiders when they go on vacation, so as not to be infected with the Ebola variant." ā
"Boss, Gavin thinks that many of the new colonies we've isolated from the magma might bring new inspiration to the Ebola variant. So we've gone back to the lab and started taking on that challenge! ā
Wu Tao's eyes lit up, although this possibility is not large, it is a useful attempt. Besides, other laboratories dare to make such a high-profile announcement, and it doesn't hurt to try it in the future.
