231. Buying technology
231. Buying technology
Before I knew it, it was the end of September.
Outside, the autumn is getting crisper and brighter, the sun is bright, but there is no heat at all, and the temperature is pleasant to make people want to shout.
Bai Huang lay on the hammock, squeaked with the purple clay pot, and put the teapot on the small tree platform beside him.
Around his hammock, Bai Huang used the skill of quiet art to create a small hanging coffee table and two branch nets for teapots. I usually lie on it, use my laptop to read movie pages, and eat a little refreshment, not to mention how cozy it is.
And through a month of busyness, his force of nature has also accumulated as many as 10,000 units.
Yes, the number 1 is followed by four zeros, ten thousand units of force of nature.
It's just a stone's throw away from upgrading to a level 4 druid, and it's only 5,000 units away!
However, this is not all good news, because according to the hints of Nature's Intelligence, it takes 85,000 units to get to level 4 druids to level 5, which is an absolute geometric increase.
This Nima, this damn druid system, is definitely developed by a Chinese online game company in the future world - of course, the stick is also possible, and the experience value setting is simply disgusting.
And this is not it, the only thing that gives Bai Huang a headache, his grandmother doesn't know what nerves he had, so he just recognized Miao Zizi as his goddaughter! And of course, he also has an extra godsister to come out.
As for this, even if I want to do good deeds, I will sponsor her every month, and I have to recognize a relative.
But fortunately, this girl is also tough, although she is well-behaved and lovely in front of Bai Huang's grandmother, she still doesn't pretend to Bai Huang. It can be seen that the last time the druid mentioned her aunt's family, it hurt the little girl deeply.
So at Miao Zizi's own strong request, Bai Huang threw her to the No. 2 nursery.
This little girl doesn't want to go to school, but she is quite interested in garden work. But she didn't want to meet Bai Huang, so she simply went to the No. 2 nursery to be the queen.
Of course, there were also two old janitors who went over together, as well as Ah Kun and Xiao Jiu. Although Bai Huang was unhappy in every way, he was more worried about being nagged by his grandmother.
With this cat and dog, no matter how remote it is, there will be no major problems.
The force of nature, the force of nature, when I was chased by a wild boar, more than 20 units of the force of nature were able to squeeze my head out, but now there are thousands of people who open and close their mouths.
Bai Huang sighed deeply, and then picked up the purple clay pot again.
"Boss, boss, someone is looking for it! There's a gringo looking for you! Just as Bai Huang was enjoying the beautiful autumn light, a babbling voice suddenly sounded, causing many workers to look up.
No one is happy to be interrupted when they are relaxing, and Bai Huang is the same.
glared at the reckless guy under the tree, and snorted with a black face: "Haven't you seen the foreigner?" Isn't there a foreigner nursery this summer? β
The worker gasped and shook his head desperately with his hands on his knees: "Yes, but this time there are a lot!" Three or four big noses! β
Three or four big noses? Shouldn't it be Wang Bochuan and his family?
But Bai Huang thought about it and felt that it was unlikely, he had already made an appointment with Wang Bochuan, and when the two pure-blooded ponies came over at the end of October, they happened to be on the same road as the old man.
So who could it be now?
Bai Huang rolled his eyes, in general, he didn't like to deal with foreigners very much. If it's an ordinary person, it's more or less naΓ―ve and direct, but once it's a business person, it's either rigid or cunning. This was already experienced when he was in the UK.
But everyone else is coming to the door, and you still have to receive it, of course, it's best to mess around with the tourists who come here, and maybe you can kill a fortune.
Bai Huang had just gotten up here, and before he could get down from the tree in a hurry, a group of people had already come over at the gate of the garden.
There are a total of six guys in suits and leather shoes, the middle four should be the main ones, and the two yellow-skinned next to them are all translation-type characters.
Alas, clearly not tourists.
Forget it, let's go down and see.
Walking all the way down from the tree, these two big banyan trees are transformed by Bai Huang, and along the main trunk are aerial roots parallel to the ground, just like natural steps, no one needs to climb up and down at all.
"Oh my God, I've already believed the tweet, there's definitely magic out there! Just look at these two big trees, I can only call them miracles! When a gringo saw Bai Huang coming down like a flat foot, his eyes widened and he exclaimed in a low voice.
"Frondo, watch what you say and do!" One of the gringos in the middle turned around in displeasure, whispered a reprimand, and then looked back at the tree.
In fact, in his pupils, there was also a flash of surprise, but he covered it up well.
When Bai Huang got off the tree and greeted him with a smile that was not too enthusiastic, he had just spoken out to reprimand the young ghost's big nose, and took the initiative to stretch out his hand very gentlemanly: "Hello, young gentleman, are you the boss here?" β
Another guy who can speak Chinese? In these years, Chinese has become a must-have skill?
Bai Huang stretched out his hand very suspiciously, nodded to the man, and said, "That's right, I am, may I ask if you have found something?" β
Dressed so formally, I'm embarrassed to come out to meet people, brother. The druid muttered while secretly guessing the intentions of these people, after all, in his main business, there are basically no projects to set up with foreigners. It can't be a horse race, and a group of horse owners who invite themselves to be riders?
"That's right, we are Syngenta's representatives in Greater China, and we are here to negotiate with you on the introduction of Xingcao." The big nose is very good at observing words and feelings, and when he saw Bai Huang's face full of doubts, he directly explained his intentions straight to the point.
"Star grass?" The druids were stunned, how did these guys know?
Logically speaking, this thing is only initially promoted in Xijiang, and not many people know it except for the bigwigs of the municipal party committee and government, as well as a few group CEOs who have outsourced pollution control projects.
It's good now, Xingcao hasn't even left Xijiang* City, and the foreigners have been brought over.
Snorting, Bai Huang didn't answer directly, but shrugged his shoulders and said curiously: "You are the first to ...... First...... What company is Xianzheng? Well, how did you know about Star Grass? β
Seeing that Bai Huang didn't remember the name of his company, the ghosts behind him looked at each other, more or less unpleasant.
But the one who had been talking at the head was like someone who had nothing to do, laughing and saying heartily: "What, you don't know yet?" About your company's star grass, those Greenpeace volunteers have been circulating on Twitter for a long time, and it is very popular, more popular than Hollywood and NFL stars. β
In line with his language, Big Nose made an exaggerated expression.
"Twitter?" Bai Huang was even more speechless, how could this matter get to Twitter?
"Yes, it's Twitter, and it's going to die!" The big nose shrugged his shoulders and did not hesitate to give his flattering expression: "Very remarkable technique, in some certain circles, your star grass has been enshrined as the gospel of God." β
Bai Huang thought about it, but still couldn't understand how this matter could be stabbed on the special push.
So he didn't bother to bother anymore, and looked at it very bluntly: "Thank you for the compliment, but in fact I think so too." I don't know how many people want to cooperate with each other this time? Buying finished turf outright? β
Hearing this, the big nose did not change his smile, but his two hands waved again and again: "I'm really sorry, your proposal is not in our company's plan." In fact, we came with the intention of introducing technology. β
The ghost guys in the back obviously couldn't understand Chinese, until the translator next to them explained it in a whisper, and then they frowned and looked over.
Technology introduction?
Hehe, you guys have a good plan, but my brother has no skills at all, so he sells hair.
Bai Huang pursed his lips, and then expressed his refusal very tactfully: "I'm sorry, about the cultivation technology of Star Grass, this is the core secret of our company, and it is impossible to sell it." β
The druid's reaction had long been expected by Big Nose, and if he casually agreed to sell technology, then it was called a ghost.
However, they did not come rashly, but had already done their homework: "As far as we know, the yield of your amazing plant seems to have been low. We, Syngenta, are the top biotech companies in the United States. As long as you are willing to come up with the technology, coupled with our strong scientific research department, then you will definitely be able to achieve a breakthrough in production. At that time, even Moretz of Sequoia Capital is likely to take the initiative to find us. β
Bai Huang was silent.
Just when the big noses exchanged glances with each other, thinking that Bai Huang was moved by what he said, the druid suddenly scratched his head: "Sequoia Capital, I seem to have heard of it, who is that Mo or something?" Awesome? β
A group of people were all stunned, they couldn't believe that this young and promising kid in front of them didn't know the top investors on the planet!
The scene cooled down, and the big nose led by Bai Huang looked at it again and again, and after making sure that this guy was not teasing himself, he swallowed with difficulty: "This, Sequoia Capital is the most legendary in the world, and it is also the investment capital with the highest rate of return." And Moretz is ......"
"Oh, financially, not interested." Bai Huang shook his head and interrupted: "Finished turf, 200,000 US dollars per square meter, no counteroffer." β
Before he could say anything, he turned several times in his big nose and throat before he was swallowed back unwillingly. Then the ghost guy who led the way widened his eyes: "Mr. Bai, we are very sincere." β
"I'm also very sincere!" Bai Huang also emphasized: "If I am not sincere, then the price will be 2 million per square meter." You can't be such a big person, you can't tell the difference between good and bad, right? β
Despite the fact that the bearded man who spoke was always smiling, despite the fact that from the beginning to the present, the guy's attitude was friendly......
But behind this deliberate friendliness, Bai Huang smelled a strong covetousness.
Because these people are businessmen, it's a bio-enterprise, not a volunteer organization. Talking about joint research and joint development, isn't it actually just for one word, money. And after these people get the technology, it is a certainty that they turn their faces and don't recognize people, and whoever believes them will be stupid.
"But $200,000 per square piece of turf, are you robbing?" Bignose protested in surprise, but also tried his best to maintain his attitude so as not to show too fiercely.
"Didn't you do a survey on the Star Grass? Why hasn't it been investigated? Bai Huang hugged his arms and stared at the big nose with suspicion on his face: "One square of turf can remove about twenty square meters of pollution, which is a complete eradication!" The cost of pollution control of 10,000 US dollars per square meter is not too high even on your side, right? β
Looking at the big nose's hesitant appearance, the druid smiled and hugged his arm: "In this case, I doubt your sincerity." β
The middle-aged ghost guy hurriedly denied it: "This ...... The cost is not all, the most important thing is that our company is quite optimistic about the technology in your hands, since there is a win-win option, why not try it? β
"Well, it's hard work to talk to you." Bai Huang let out a long sigh, and after his eyes rolled twice, he suddenly moved smartly and suggested: "I said, since you are the top biological company, you can just buy my star grass back and clone it, and you don't have to pay me the patent fee when the time comes." β
As soon as Bai Riguang said this, the face of the big nose immediately became wonderful.
Does this yellow-skinned monkey who should be on the gallows really think he is a fool?
This guy's star grass can't be copied by existing means at all!
In fact, these Syngenta personnel stationed abroad had come to Xijiang* once as early as a month ago, but at that time they were not here to negotiate, but to steal plant samples.
Just like Bai Huang said, as the top biotechnology company, as long as they have a sample of a certain biological at hand, gene extraction is not much more difficult for them than drinking plain water.
That's what the big-nosed ghost guy at the head thinks.
He still remembers the ecstasy when he first got the star grass, and his endless contempt for the Chinese's sense of secrecy.
It was only after the samples were sent back to the company's headquarters, all research projects were halted, and all the researchers were fully engaged in extracting the genetic sequence of Xingxingcao, that Syngenta's top management realized that they seemed to be overjoyed.
On this seemingly inconspicuous grass, there is actually a genetic self-destruction program?
Ahahahaha!
Muel, the chief researcher at Syngenta and the former head of the chromosome structure direction of the Cold Spring Harbor laboratory, burst into laughter three times when the final result was determined, and the whole person was Spartan.
Just a little bit closer, Bai Huang almost killed a top scientist in Citigroup.
After he finally came to his senses, he immediately put forward the following requirements to the company's senior management - to obtain the cultivation technology of Xingcao and the implantation technology to obtain the gene self-destruction program.
"It's an unimaginable miracle, especially when a controllable gene self-destructs, you know? With it, we are the gods of this world! The real Jehovah! β
Because of the importance of the technology, Syngenta did not make a big noise, but sent a strong negotiation team as soon as the test results were available.
And they were already standing in front of Bai Huang at this time.
