Chapter 106: Dr. Hammond
Isla Nublar is much larger than Sun Cheng had guessed, and the terrain is surprisingly diverse.
After leaving the tarmac deep in the canyon, the convoy slowly drove all the way to the island, and after moving away from the mountain forest from the canyon trail and through a jungle, the convoy soon reached a grassland.
"Hammond has a good eye, the environment of this island is first-class, and the area is not small, even if you shout out 50 million dollars, someone will be willing to take over!"
There were two whispering voices in front of him, but Sun Cheng, who had been paying attention outside, noticed that the speed of the car was getting slower and slower.
Soon after, the car deviated from the cement road that had been laid out and drove towards the grassland, and the big guy was wondering, and it was not long before the convoy stopped.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Dr. Hammond will be hosting a banquet here to welcome everyone, please get out of the car......"
As David greeted him, a group of invited investors on the bus looked at each other, and complaints followed.
"Feasting in this place to welcome us? You're not mistaken, are you? ”
The first to complain was a man named Bertram, who is a senior project manager from Sequoia Capital, who seems to have been in the industry for more than ten years and has rich experience in venture capital, so he has a somewhat arrogant personality.
David smiled, "Sir, no! ”
There were some other complaints, but David obviously ignored them, and instead proudly got out of the car first, and after getting out of the car, he didn't wait outside the car door any longer, and walked straight to the other side.
Ida Wang picked up her LV women's commuter bag and followed her and got out of the car.
As soon as the only lady in the group left, the voices of the people in the car paused, and then they also got out of the car.
Sun Cheng's position was relatively backward, so he was the last to come down.
Got out of the car and followed the group to the front, where more than ten meters in front of him, three heavy Mercedes Benz trucks were parked end to end.
After taking a few quick steps to get around the three trucks, everyone's eyes lit up.
It turned out that on a piece of grass behind the truck, on the five barbecue tables that had been built, from beef and mutton to all kinds of fresh vegetables, etc., were skewered into skewers and placed on the grill to burn, an old man with white hair, wearing a straw hat and glasses, and wearing an ordinary casual shirt, was laughing and standing in the open space next to the barbecue table, directing a team of strong laborers to move out the various ingredients, drinks and drinks that had been prepared from the freezer on the truck.
When David and his group approached, the footsteps and the noise quickly attracted the old man's attention, and when he turned around, he smiled and greeted him with a cane, "My friends, please forgive me for not being able to meet you in person when you came......"
The old man was John Hammond, the owner of the International Genetic Technology Corporation, a businessman and scholar obsessed with archaeology and paleontology.
"Dr. Hammond......"
After meeting the owner who sent out the invitation, Brent from Sequoia Capital was the first to stand up and said very politely: "Donald told me that Jurassic Park will make us a lot of money...... However, we have already invested 70 million dollars in you. Instead, they received a lawsuit from the federal government and another $20 million in damages...... Doctor, we need an explanation. ”
The smile on Dr. Hammond's face remained the same, but it was obviously the first time he had seen Brentt, so he whispered to David for a moment before turning to look at him and calmly replied, "Mr. Bront, you will soon have the same faith in me as Donald!" ”
Brent snorted lightly, but in the end he still gave him some face, and did not continue to make trouble.
"Doctor, it's still early, if you can, can you talk to us about a new financing plan?"
Just like her professional outfit, Ida Wang behaved very capably, relying on her female identity to go straight to the point as soon as she came up, and her momentum was aggressive.
"Uh......" Dr. Hammond was visibly choked by her, but he was quick to react and quickly smiled and nodded at her, "Of course, beautiful lady!" ”
"The development phase of the [Jurassic Park] project has been completed and is about to enter the operation period, and I need to raise another amount of funds!"
He waved the crutch he was holding in his right palm, looked at everyone and said directly: "International Genetic Technology Corporation will give up another 12% of the shares, and at the same time, I will personally take out 3% of the shares, and I will ask for at least 1.5 billion US dollars again!" ”
"Hiss......"
Qi Qi inhaled the sound of cold air, Sun Cheng was naturally pretending, not to mention that he didn't have that much money at all, and he didn't even know the specific content of the [Jurassic Park] project now.
"Crazy?"
Brent immediately jumped out again, and the indifference in his eyes and his mouth no longer concealed ridicule, "Doctor, the [Jurassic Park] project is not worth 1 billion if it is all taken out and sold!" ”
"No, no, no, Mr. Brent!"
Hammond still looked at him with a smile on his face, "The [Jurassic Park] project is my life's pursuit, and I'm lucky that I never gave up on it. My company has the world's most advanced genetic technology, and it is not difficult to resurrect long-extinct creatures, but it only takes an opportunity. Luckily, I did! ”
"Did it?"
Brent looked at him in amazement, only to get the unabashedly ostentatious smile of the childlike Hammond.
"Yes, I did...... No, no, no, we should say we did it......"
He held the crutch in his hand high, Sun Cheng's eyes couldn't help but be attracted, and he immediately saw the strangeness of the crutch in his hand.
The orange-yellow ball at the handshake didn't seem to be any ordinary stone or plastic product...... What kind of jade is it? ”
Just as he was looking at it carefully, suddenly, Sun Cheng once again felt an inexplicable throbbing in his body, it was the mysterious spherical space, which jumped out again after reacting to the strange crystal on Ida Wang's collar.
"There's weirdness, there's definitely weirdness in this thing!"
Hurriedly retracted his gaze, and the inexplicable throbbing from the spherical space in his body disappeared again.
Sun Cheng subconsciously glanced at Ida Wang, but unexpectedly found that this beautiful woman was also looking at him, and quickly looked away.
"Why does spherical space react to these two things? Looks like I've come to the right place on my trip to Isla Nublar......"
Glancing vaguely at the unknown orange crystal on Hammond's cane again, Sun Cheng tightened the defense he had been holding in his hand, but he had already made up his mind to steal it after nightfall.
Dr. Hammond, who was laughing, had apparently failed to convince the crowd, and the voices of discussion and questioning him grew louder and louder.
Sun Cheng stood quietly on the side, watching with interest the scene of a group of the world's top investors, fighting for interests here, and at the same time wondering what kind of medicine was sold in this Hammond gourd!
It was noisy when suddenly, a slight vibration came from the ground.
Sun Cheng, who did not participate in the quarrel, was obviously the first to notice the tremor, and he quickly realized something, "Earthquake? ”
But he didn't want to, Hammond, who was surrounded by people and questioned in every way, unexpectedly heard his words, looked at him proudly and replied with a smile: "No, it's not an earthquake, it's a miracle......"
Hammond raised his cane again, pointing in a direction at the side of the group.
The big guy looked at him with his guidance, and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air in unison, "That's ......"
Dozens of meters away, a huge monster that weighs more than 100 tons and is afraid that it must be forty or fifty meters high is very leisurely taking 'heavy small broken steps', walking to the dozen or so big trees not far away without hurrying, and raising its head to eat the most delicate branches and leaves on the trees.
In an instant, everyone who saw it was stunned!
"Dinosaurs?!"
