Chapter 432: A Not Pleasant Meeting
"Good evening, Mr. Lu, I finally saw you. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" greeted Paulo Selva with a smile on his face.
He does not have much of a strong military atmosphere, but is very similar to the executives of many multinational groups, giving people a sense of shrewdness and ability.
It is hard to imagine that this is the second most powerful person in the US military, who can destroy more than 90 percent of the world's countries with a single order.
However, Lu Li did not give the other party a good face because of this, he still sat on the chair expressionlessly, and even did not hide his disgust, and responded in a slightly sarcastic tone: "Yes, it is so pleasant to meet an executioner whose hands are stained with the blood of innocents, and I have to become an accomplice to the executioner." ”
"Hehe, it seems that you have a lot of grievances. It's okay, I can understand the feeling. After all, as a legitimate businessman, you should have the freedom to choose, but now you have to compromise, and you rightly hate us. Unfortunately, the government now has to deprive you of this right for the sake of national security, and we will compensate you elsewhere. ”
Paulo Selva apparently anticipated what would happen after the meeting, and instead of being angry, he offered to apologize and promise compensation.
I have to say that this is a very clever strategy, as the so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, since the high-ranking generals show a low profile, generally speaking, no matter how big the grievance is, it is impossible to continue to sneer.
But unfortunately, Lu Li has never been an ordinary person......
As a staunch anti-war activist, his disgust with war had reached the point of no return, and he sneered and asked: "National security? General, are you joking? Is there any country in the world that can threaten the national security of the United States? As far as I know, you are the only one who threatens the national security of other countries and subverts the regimes of other countries. Don't get me wrong, I don't say you're executioners because of resentment, but in my eyes, and that's the best name for you. ”
"Sir, I think you have a great deal of misunderstanding about the military!" an accompanying officer couldn't help but frown, and stood up and retorted loudly.
"Misunderstanding? Is it really a misunderstanding? I'm sorry, I don't think that's a misunderstanding. It's too far away to mention it, just the war in Afghanistan, the war in Iraq, the war in Syria, and the war in Libya, which one was not provoked by you, and which one caused less than 100,000 civilian casualties?" Lu Li asked with a sneer.
The reason why he dared to say such things in person, on the one hand, was to use the topic to play the dissatisfaction in his heart, so that the other party could understand his attitude, and he would come to the door if he had nothing to do in the future.
Another aspect is that the United States has always had an anti-war tradition, especially various laws that strictly restrict the rights of the military, so even if they point at the military's nose and scold the street in person, the other side will not dare to do anything.
It is precisely by taking advantage of this kind of brazenness that Lu Li can firmly grasp the initiative and take the opportunity to go to the Ministry of National Defense.
The young officer, visibly furious, glared and tried to defend himself and the army, but before he could speak, Paul Selva raised his hand to stop him.
"That's enough! The purpose of our trip is not to quarrel or debate whether those wars are just or not, but for that kind of interesting material, isn't it, Mr. Lu?"
Lu Li quickly put away his mocking face and nodded seriously: "That's right! Although I am reluctant to cooperate with you, business is business, and since I have decided to do it, I must strive for the greatest benefits." Now tell me, General, what price did the Ministry of Defense think I had in my hands?"
"I'm sure Mr. Jamie Dimon has already mentioned to you that the Department of Defense offers you two options.
First, you will provide the technology and raw materials, we will provide funds and personnel to conduct in-depth research, and the patent rights will still belong to your biotechnology company.
After the products meet our requirements, they will be purchased by the Ministry of Defense, and the whole process must be strictly confidential, and it is forbidden to sell to any country or individual without our permission.
The second is that we will offer a suitable price, buy all the technology and raw materials in your hands, and the rest of the things will no longer require your participation.
Personally, I prefer the second one, after all, since you are so anti-war, you must be very reluctant to participate in this kind of thing, and it is better for the military to take over. ”
With that, Paolo Selva stood still, patiently awaiting Lu Li's reply.
As a general, he knows better than anyone what it means to have a material that is completely insulated from electronic interference, which means that fighter jets, warships and submarines in service can dramatically improve their combat capabilities without having to upgrade.
In addition, the huge black hole captured in satellite photos not long ago is simply a nightmare existence for the US military, which is accustomed to absolute air supremacy.
"I choose the second option. Lu Li made a choice without thinking.
Since he learned that he was secretly monitored by the military because of this incident, he made up his mind to quickly throw the hot potato out, anyway, with the addition of ingredients in it, it is not so easy for the other party to want a large amount of industrial synthesis.
"Oh, you're really willing to sell it all!" said a look of surprise flashed across Paolo Selva's face.
Undoubtedly, this was far beyond his expectations, and it could even be said that he was a little unprepared.
You must know that becoming a supplier to the U.S. Department of Defense is something that almost all companies dream of, which not only means a lot of profits, but also means that the technical strength is affirmed and stands in the forefront of the world.
Lu Li spread his hands with a nonchalant expression: "No, it's not a package, but that tree and a barrel of forty-two gallons of specially processed stock solution." As long as you set the right price, you can always pick them up. ”
"What! You have a large vat of forty-two gallons of stock solution?" asked Paul Selva in surprise.
"Yes, that's all my inventory. You see, the physics and chemistry of this thing are very interesting, and it must not be exposed to air, otherwise it will solidify very quickly, and its hardness is comparable to that of steel. As for the cultivation method and stock solution processing technology, it involves the core secrets of our company, so there is no way to sell them together, but I can provide corresponding services. ”
Lu Li is not an idiot, he knows very well that those things brought from the other world can be traded in the bright light, and those things will never see the light of day.
Taking this transaction as an example, his handing over the black dragon's blood tree is equivalent to giving up the raw materials to the Ministry of Defense, which is enough to gain the trust of the other party.
But behind the scenes, because the black dragon's blood tree is a magic plant, it must absorb enough magical energy of the corresponding attributes to survive, so he implicitly controls the raw materials from another angle.
Once something happens in the future, as long as he cuts off the supply of crystal powder, all the black dragon's blood trees will wither and die in a short time......
