Chapter 60: The Verbal Pact The Deal
"I wonder where your taxpayers' taxes are going to be wasted, oh! Maybe it's for that smelly, long name. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
"You want to know what we're spending our taxes on. Okay, I'll tell you. We're spending our tax money on the aftermath of you guys with superpowers who mess around all day. If you want to see a tax bill that can be published in front of the public, I think it's better to be honest and be a playboy. β
The dispute between the two men is still escalating, and it is already fierce to a certain extent in terms of words alone. Phil. Coulson already regretted following Maria a little. Hill came along. She is not here to talk about cooperation, she is definitely provocative.
For Nick. Fury's request was successfully fulfilled, and Coulson had to step in between the two.
"You two, can you control yourself a little bit?" As he said this, Coulson stared straight at Commander Hill. In this matter, she did not do what she was supposed to do, and also pushed things in an unpredictable direction. This is an absolute mistake for a qualified agent.
Maria. Hill also knew that he had made a mistake in this matter. But getting her to admit her mistake in front of Zhou Yi was even more difficult than killing her. She folded her arms, put on a silent look, and threw the rest onto Coulson.
And this, that's what Coulson wants. It has never been difficult for him to communicate with people.
"Mr. Zhou, I think my companion is a little emotional. If I may, I'll talk about our cooperation in her place. β
"Of course! That's for the best. Zhou Yi, who was so noisy that there was some smoke in his throat, picked up the teacup, it was the first time he had become so angry with a woman. In a way, the two of them are definitely rivals.
"If you join us in thinking differently, then we can put this topic on hold for now. We have a plan that you can take a look at. Coulson directly skipped the previous topic, took out a document from his briefcase, and handed it to Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi took the document and looked at it. The content of the document is a special plan for the formation of a combat squad, and it is specifically pointed out that all members of this tactical squad are made up of special, talented guys. And Zhou Yizhen is really one of the invitees in their plan.
This document is the most important and profound prototype of the Avengers in Zhou Yi's memory. Although, now this so-called prototype does not even have a little shadow.
"What is this, your Superboy program? And is it a plan that doesn't even have a basic structure? Due to the previous quarrel, Zhou Yi did not use mockery very politely on the floor of the conversation.
In the face of Zhou Yi's poisonous tongue, Coulson performed much better than Commander Hill. He directly ignored all the offensive elements in Zhou Yi's words, and responded very clearly.
"If you join, you're the first member. And soon we'll be able to populate new members into it. β
"Are you kidding? If so, I don't think your joke is funny at all. Looking at Coulson's eyes, which can be described as sincere to the extreme, Zhou Yi pulled out a smile that was not very good-looking. The others could tell at a glance that he was smiling rather forcefully.
"I'm serious!" Coulson continued to use his demagogic smile.
"Excuse me! I've already said that I don't want to work for someone else. There is no department in this world that can afford my salary. β
In this case, Zhou Yi decisively chose to refuse. Being hooked up with the current Avengers doesn't do him any good. He wouldn't choose to be a part of Tony until those guys joined.
Not for anything else, but because I don't want to get involved in the secrets of the Territorial Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Bureau.
Everything in this department is a ** annoyance. Before the problem in his hand is solved, he doesn't want to have anything to do with these ** annoyances at all.
"This squad is not affiliated with an organization under our department, it is independent." Coulson ignored Zhou Yi's refusal and continued to persuade. A lot of things need more communication to have further development.
"We're just in charge of assembling this special squad, and it's your own business to manage it. We're not going to get mixed in. And we'll share it with you! β
The intelligence of the Territorial Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Bureau is not an ordinary bargaining chip. Since the establishment of this department in World War II, the Bureau of Homeland Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support has encompassed most of the occult information in this world, and they have kept so many secrets that they themselves are not entirely clear.
However, Zhou Yike didn't believe that they would be so kind. This kind of sharing of information does not need to be thought of, and it is absolutely one-sided.
"If you want to convince me to join, I'm afraid you don't have enough chips." This time Zhou Yi's words were not so resolute, there were many dangers facing this world, and it was impossible for him to completely dissociate himself from the Territorial Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Bureau. The rejection just now was just a temptation. He had already guessed their intentions, and naturally wanted to get more information if he could.
"Don't have enough chips?" Coulson rubbed his chin, he felt that Zhou Yi was not the kind of person who couldn't communicate at all, but it wasn't so easy to come up with something that could move him. "Can you make that clearer? Mr. Zhou. I don't quite understand your definition of this chip. β
"It's very simple, an empty shelf can't get me into it without thinking about anything." Zhou Yi leaned back on the sofa. "If you want me to join, you must at least have a member who can handle it. I'm not a babysitter and I don't want to train you guys. If I were to be part of such an organization, the least I had to do was that it would play a bigger role than I could do alone. β
"If I can't do that, I don't need to join at all."
"I see!" After listening to Zhou Yi's request, Coulson said clearly. It's not good news for him, but it's not bad news either.
It's not entirely impossible for the Dawn Knight to join in. However, it is somewhat unlikely for the Avengers, who do not even have a code name now. For the Dawn Knights to join, they also needed to make the structure a little bit better.
At this point, the main intention of Coulson and his party has basically been achieved. They don't get what they want most, but they also get a promise that isn't a promise. On that alone basis, they have been able to make a difference.
However, human beings are creatures who always seek the maximum profit. Even a good old man like Coulson is no exception.
"Regarding this special squad, I think we're going to make some progress very quickly. At that time, I hope that we can have further cooperation with Mr. Zhou Yi. β
"Let's talk about that then." Neither side wanted to continue on the topic, so Coulson was quick to talk about an addition.
"So Mr. Zhou would you mind talking about a deal with us?"
"Deal?" Coulson's question made Zhou Yi a little interested, after all, he still has an identity, a qualified businessman. "Why don't you tell me?"
"We are very interested in the armor of the Knight of Dawn, and we don't know if Mr. Zhou has any intention of selling it. Of course, whether it's selling technology or selling finished products, we're open to it. β
The Bureau of Territorial Strategic Defense, Attack and Logistics Support has a sound enough analysts, and Coulson himself is one of the best. Although they had come to the conclusion that Zhou Yi was a natural mutant individual, a super rare ability, this did not prevent them from making other guesses about him.
No one knows the specific function of the Dawn Armor, and it is even less clear what the purpose of this Dawn Knight's equipment is. In their anticipation, this magical armor would enhance the user's abilities, if not directly grant the wearer superpowers. If it was really as they suspected, the Dawn Armor would be quite valuable.
You must know that the American super soldier program has lasted for nearly a century, and until now there are only a few finished products that cannot be copied. And if the Dawn Armor can achieve the effect they expected, it will undoubtedly open a new direction for them. Therefore, in the eyes of some high-level officials of the Territorial Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Bureau, the value of the Dawn Armor even exceeds that of the Dawn Knight itself.
Of course, there is also a certain attempt to contain the Dawn Knights. Figuring out the weaknesses of the Dawn Armor will undoubtedly give them a bit of an initiative when dealing with the Dawn Knights.
Zhou Yi guessed this, but he was not worried at all. In his mind, the Armor of Dawn was nothing more than a cover to decorate his other identity. He's not the Iron Man of the future, Tony. Stark, the Armor of Dawn is far less important to his use than those who have a heart think.
But no one else knows about this. And this has become Zhouyi's advantage.
"You want to make a deal like this?" Asking uncertainly, a part of Zhou Yi's merchants began to wake up. "My offer is very expensive."
"I think our budget should be more than enough for us to invest a little bit in this." Coulson smiled quite heartily. He knew that the leading party in this transaction could be the group of guys standing behind the Territorial Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Bureau, so he was not worried about the bargaining chips of the transaction at all, and he was not distressed at all.
"First of all, I want to state that I don't sell technology. I only sell finished products and there will be no guarantees. Moreover, even if it is a finished product, only the next generation of products will be produced. Zhou Yi laid out the carriage and horses, he wanted to see how much thought the guy who was watching him had.
Coulson smiled apologetically and pressed the headset. He needed to report the situation, and the level of procurement involved was beyond his ability as an Eighth-level agent to decide. At the very least, you need the director's nod, or the approval of the guys on the council behind.
Soon, after receiving the approval from the council, Coulson said with a smile on his face: "No problem at all, are there any other requirements?" β
"Of course, I'm not short of funds. So I need to exchange resources. I wonder if you can come up with the resources I need? β
"For example?"
"Edelman metal, or primitive vibration-absorbing metal!"
