When Jim Bridenstine left the hive headquarters, he had a white face all the way, and when he returned to the Hilton Hotel, where he had temporarily settled in the commercial capital, he cursed, and the first word he said was the letter F.

NASA's recent budget is the highest in history, and in a sense, Gu Cheng has contributed a lot.

If it weren't for the pressure from Tianqing Technology Group in the field of space exploration, Congress would never have allocated such a huge amount of nearly 100 billion US dollars to NASA.

You know, the current debt ratio of the whole of North America has exceeded 30 trillion US dollars, and even began to issue national bonds in a hundred years, as for whether there will be this country in a hundred years, only God knows.

But what NASA never expected was that Gu Cheng would be crazy about wool, and he was slaughtered by tens of billions of dollars in the front, and now he will open his mouth to ask for 3.5 billion US dollars, and more than 10% of the budget allocated by Congress to NASA has fallen into the hands of Tianqing Technology.

And the joint lunar base in the Jinghai area, if it weren't for the little brothers below to share it equally, maybe it would have cost billions of dollars.

Jim Bridensteen, who left the hive headquarters, wanted to leave Shangdu immediately, this trip suddenly made him feel humiliated, but he didn't dare and couldn't, Gu Cheng took advantage of the fire to rob at this time, but the golden window he said was not fake.

So far, only Tianqing Technology Group has the ability to carry out extraterrestrial space rescue at any time, and if they do not agree, hundreds of astronauts or payload experts in the base of the Moon's Jinghai Zone will only have to wait for death.

Jim Bridenstine was almost out of his way, and his anger had subsided a lot, and he finally calmed down.

With a long sigh, the NASA director immediately called his accompanying assistant in, and then ordered: "Immediately contact the Indian Space Research Organization, ESA and other institutions, they already know about the fact that Faertong is flying towards the earth, but they don't know that this damn asteroid will hit the Jinghai area, tell them that Gu Cheng's damn bastard took advantage of the fire to rob and ask for $8 billion in rescue money, and the base in the Jinghai area is not only American astronauts, they all have to pay together." ”

Belch......

His assistant was dumbfounded when he heard this, and after coming back to his senses, he weakly reminded: "Sir, are you mistaken?" The other party seems to be only asking for $3.5 billion, and it refuses to bargain. ”

His assistant wondered if Mr. Director was old and confused, and he wasn't that old, so he should be confused.

"You know what? Instead of falling prey to be slaughtered by others, why not be hunters together? Jim Bridenstine doesn't feel guilty, because guilt can cost hundreds of millions of dollars.

Hooliganism? Who wouldn't?

At this moment, his assistant was once again stunned when he heard this.

Seeing his assistant standing indifferently, Jim Bridenstine suddenly shouted, "What are you doing in a daze? Immediately go and inform them immediately, there is no time. Don't give them a chance to bargain, let their astronauts wait to die without paying. ”

“Yes Sir！！！”

"Wait a minute, what I said just now didn't mean by NASA, it was what Tianqing Technology meant, we were all victims of the other party's robbery, understand?."

"Understood!"

……

An hour later, Jim Bridenstine came to the hive headquarters again, naturally came to find Gu Cheng, who was also surprised, and rushed back to the hive headquarters from Tianqing Industry to meet him.

If it were a normal situation, Gu Cheng might not be able to bird him, even if the other party was the director of NASA, so what?

However, it is another thing to be able to easily earn a lot of money, and it is a profitable business, Tianqing Technology Group's space exploration is still very money-burning, and it is impossible to succeed in doing big things without playing hooligans.

"Mr. Jim thought about it so quickly?" Gu Cheng said with a smile when he met him.

"The key is to test how you think about it." Jim Bridenstine replied that he had sworn that he would never want to see his face for a moment, but had to come and talk to him again.

After Gu Cheng sat down, he involuntarily crossed Erlang's legs, and said with interest: "Oh? See me consider? Where does this begin? ”

Jim Bridenstine changed his previous anger, but instead smiled accordingly, but his smile gave Gu Cheng the feeling that he was going to make a fool of people, and he couldn't help but raise his vigilance in his heart for a while.

"You Chinese people have a saying, "Dead friends don't die poor, so I have a new idea, a bigger deal." The NASA director stared at Gu Cheng with blazing eyes, paused for a moment and added: "I have sent people to contact the Indian Space Research Organization, the Aerospace Research and Development Agency, ESA and other institutions urgently, and I told them that the price you offered is 8 billion US dollars." ”

Gu Cheng, who originally looked calm and determined, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard the final amount, while Jim Bridenstine was still staring at him, and continued: "This is a big deal for mutual benefit, you have to bear a little infamy, so you take the lion's share, how about it?" ”

Gu Cheng was also stunned when he heard this, which he didn't expect, he really never thought that the Americans would actually want to become hunters.

Gu Cheng suddenly felt distressed for the little brothers of the American emperor for three seconds, when it was really a pit and the little brother would die in the pit, now I don't doubt it, Lao Mei not only verbally said the phrase "Dead Daoist friends do not die poor Dao", but also tried to practice it.

Lao Mei is really not willing to suffer a loss, in the end it is a country founded on business, you can't make a lot of money but you will never suffer, you may make a lot of money, but I don't lose either.

After a while, Gu Cheng said in an orderly manner: "I am very interested in this deal, but I also don't want to be infamy, the company's reputation is worth ten times more than this deal." ”

Well, that's the way it is.

"So how to solve it? What is Mr. Gu's opinion? Jim Bridenstine said.

Gu Cheng didn't answer him quickly, but thought in his heart, the first thing that came to mind was whether NASA's leader could be the master, but thinking about it, it should be no problem, Lao Mei is now in debt of 30 trillion US dollars, and is still crazy about overdrawing the future, otherwise he would not be so shameless to suck the blood of his little brothers to nourish himself.

Take 10,000 steps back, that's also the Americans' business, mind my bird?

And the flower grower has always pursued the strategy of not carrying the banner, but there are many people who want to come to worship the pier, but the flower grower has declined, let's be partners together, so it doesn't matter if the other party holds a grudge, not to mention that it is not the same as in the past.

This thing was originally what you and I wanted, and no one forced it.

Thinking of this, Gu Cheng put away his thoughts and immediately looked at the NASA director and said with a smile: "I can't disclose to the outside world that I, Tianqing Technology, will ask for $8 billion to undertake this rescue, emmm...... All parties must get the caliber right and announce a paid rescue at a price of 500 million US dollars, after all, Tianqing Technology is a commercial organization, not a charity. ”

If it is disclosed to media organizations in this form, it will not cause too much sensation, and it will not be said to be a black-hearted boss, which will maintain the international reputation of Tianqing Technology.

Gu Cheng believes that the other party will also compromise, because they also need more budgets, if the people know that their authorities are so incompetent, maybe the next budget will not have to think about it, and it will be attacked by the opposition people who seize this pain point, and it will collapse.

Another one, people, must also be face-stricken, otherwise how can there be such a thing as a swollen face and a fat man?

Gu Cheng said with a smile: "On the surface, 100 million US dollars will complete this paid rescue, but in fact, 8 billion US dollars will be paid, as for how to pass this money, it is very simple, the base has been destroyed, and it has to be rebuilt, right?" It's impossible to get back, right? There's a lot to do here, and it just so happens that the solutions that my company has come out of are never cheap. ”

This damn bastard still wants fame and fortune, and he has a good plan!

Jim Bridenstine scolded secretly, and immediately responded: "No problem, June and Fourth are divided." ”

Gu Cheng shook his head and corrected in an undoubted tone: "No, I'm seven and you're three, my rules." ”
