"Let's not talk about this for now, Mr. Xia. I'm here to talk to you about something serious. In other words, we want to discuss a business deal with you."
Liu Quande's words brought Xia Xu back to his senses.
After hearing this, Xia Xu was not surprised at all and said calmly: "Because of Atuo's matter, right?"
The strength that Atuo showed yesterday was obvious to all. He fought alone against eight werewolves equipped with mechanical centipede spines. This was clearly far beyond the scope of normal dogs or even normal creatures.
It can be said that with Atuo's performance in complex terrain, he is definitely not much worse than an entire special operations team in various provinces and cities today, and in most cases he can even perform better.
After all, provinces and cities like Nanhu Province, which have Uncle Luo, are just exceptions. The rest of the provinces and cities are mostly composed of ordinary elite soldiers, and combat in local cities is still greatly limited.
If the special department can obtain combat units similar to Atto, it will definitely be a leap forward in combat effectiveness.
And dogs are obviously much more reliable than any mutants or super-powered people.
Super-powered humans have to worry about their different thoughts, and various mutated and modified creatures require finding ways to control them. They also have to constantly worry about whether the control measures are safe or whether they will fail.
Dogs, however, are the best answer to all these questions. After thousands of years of domestication and breeding by humans, dogs are naturally loyal and close to humans, and after training, they can execute various instructions and tasks.
In the words of young people, this can be called a summon in the game.
To put it in a more compassionate way, this is the best fighting partner.
To put it in a colder way, this is the most perfect biological weapon.
Or it could be said that dogs are the "biological weapons" cultivated by humans since ancient times, but the existence of Atuo shows that this biological weapon has been strengthened a step further.
What is even more commendable is that the government itself already has systems such as police dog teams and military dog teams, with all kinds of experience in dog training, searching, chasing, and explosion prevention.
It can be said that Atuo is a perfect biological weapon tailor-made for them. Anyone who witnesses Atuo's combat effectiveness and discovers that he is as loyal and docile as a normal dog will be excited.
"Yes, it seems that you have anticipated this, Mr. Xia."
Seeing Xia Xu take the initiative to speak frankly, Liu Quande smiled. "As far as I know, Mr. Xia already has a pharmaceutical group and an industrial group under his control, right? Are you interested in doing a bigger business?"
Xia Xu was silent for a moment before he said, "Ato is my brother."
"Mr. Xia wants to raise the price?"
Liu Quande obviously didn't understand the idea of adding money, but that didn't stop him from understanding its meaning.
"I mean, I have no intention of selling Atto."
Xia Xu shook his head.
"Is this enhanced dog unreplicable?"
Liu Quande frowned when he heard this.
Before making the call, they assembled a team of experts to analyze and discuss the battle footage between Atuo and Xia Xu yesterday. They were actually mentally prepared for the rarity and irreproducibility of a special individual like Atuo.
Judging from the cases handled by special departments across the country, in fact most special organisms are accidental products that cannot be replicated, and the few traceable finished technologies often have extremely high thresholds and numerous defects.
Therefore, they approached Xia Xu with the intention of trying their best. It would be best if they could obtain a batch of enhanced dogs, but at worst, it would also be good to get just one or reach an agreement on cooperation or secondment.
But the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment. When the time comes, it is still a little hard to accept.
"Well..."
Xia Xu showed a hint of amusement on his face, and suddenly changed the subject, smiling and said: "I'm sorry, the company is almost shut down by the media because of what happened yesterday. I have to deal with it now. Let's talk about this next time."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Special departments are wealthy and powerful, they lack everything except money and resources.
Therefore, even if you feel close to and admire this kind of guardian organization, you still have to fight for the interests that should be fought for.
…
"How is it? Deputy Team Leader Liu, what did he say?"
On the other side, everyone in the special department’s logistics team fixed their eyes on Liu Quande.
“Hang up.”
Liu Quande's already dark complexion became even darker at this moment: "They said that the company was blocked by the media and they had to rush over to deal with it. We can talk about it next time."
Everyone in the logistics team laughed when they heard this: "He's blaming us for screwing him over."
Some people also said: "I think this is good news."
"Yes, it is good news indeed."
Everyone present was a smart guy, and several of them nodded and laughed.
After all, it is an official department. Let’s not talk about authority for now. At least most people will have a more restrained attitude when dealing with it.
What does it mean if the other party hangs up the phone at this time
It means confidence.
People's confidence naturally comes from having something to rely on.
Xia Xu did not answer, but hanging up the phone on his own initiative was the best answer, and it was an answer that surprised them.
This means that he might actually be able to provide these enhanced dogs in bulk!
"So what do you say now?"
"What else can I say? Let's calm down. We should do it step by step. It's not good to go too far all at once."
Liu Quande said helplessly while calling Xia Xu again.
There was one thing Xia Xu wasn't wrong about. The special department had done him a disservice. The sudden high exposure of yesterday's incident was indeed due to the help of their logistics team.
The purpose is simple, which is to gradually make the people familiar with these special things, and by the way, to set an example and stabilize the people's hearts.
In fact, this is almost the same as creating a star. For an ordinary teenager, such fame and glory are absolutely what they want. Who would have thought that Xia Xu would be despised instead.
"Maybe he's worried that a big tree will attract the wind. He's so calm and composed at such a young age. He's simply a monster."
"Yes, he is outstanding in study, business, and combat. Even his character is so outstanding. He is a demon-level person who will not let others live."
"You're putting the cart before the horse. It should be said that it is because of his extraordinary mind and character that he has achieved what he has today."
During the discussion, many people expressed high recognition and praise for this "steady" talented young man.
"Come to think of it... my daughter is actually pretty."
The inadvertent revelation of someone's inner thoughts caused the entire conference room to fall into a brief silence, and several people were eager to try after hearing it.
Only Liu Quande still had a gloomy face.
dial.
One, two, three, hang up.
dial.
One, two, three, hang up.
For several times in a row, no matter how I called back, he would always hang up the phone exactly within three seconds.
"Lao Liu, don't call it, it's useless, you're making the wrong call."
There were many people with a keen political sense present, and they interrupted Liu Quande with laughter.
"I called you back wrong? What's wrong?"
Liu Quande had a dark face, acted in a serious and old-fashioned manner, and even his words often offended people. It was obvious that he was the type whose sense of smell was not that keen.
The man was not reluctant to give pointers, and said with a smile: "The person is not right."
Liu Quande was stunned: "I didn't make a mistake."
"I mean, you shouldn't be the one making this call."
The man smiled and shook his head, with a look that said the child is incorrigible.
"No wonder Lao Liu's nickname can't be removed no matter where he goes, hahaha."
"Haha, I think we should ask him how he got this title."
"Are there people who are so mean as you? Really..."
