"If you need any help, just tell me. At least give me a chance to repay the favor. I'm owing more and more of this debt."
Seeing that Xia Xu had no intention of asking for his help, Luo Hongyun did not delve deeper into the topic and just smiled jokingly.
He believed in Xia Xu's ability and rationality. Since he had no intention of helping, he must be confident that he could handle it.
"Don't worry, there's a chance."
Xia Xu also laughed twice when he heard this, and then said, "Let's talk business first. I do have the technology to make enhanced dogs, but I have a few conditions."
"Okay, then tell me your conditions first."
Luo Hongyun shook his head and laughed: "As long as it's not too extreme, we can talk about it. I will try my best to help you."
"First, Uncle Luo, you should know that I want the Xinyuan Building and all the equipment inside it."
When Xia Xu opened his mouth, the first condition he put forward shocked Luo Hongyun.
This is more than just asking for too much, it's even worse than robbery.
Xinyuan Building is a brand new 25-story business building. Regardless of the location, it is more than enough to be the headquarters of those giant groups. In addition, the top-standard biological laboratory in the basement is worth at least tens of billions.
It would be fine if you offered to buy it with money or give some preferential treatment, but you want to just ask for the first condition
"Don't be in a hurry to bargain, Uncle Luo. It's not you who should bargain. Just state my conditions first."
Xia Xu interrupted Luo Hongyun who was about to say something, shook his head, and continued: "Second, it is still related to Xinyuan Building. I want to know if you have seized and sealed a certain virus strain last time. If so, I hope to get it."
"Toxic strain?"
Luo Hongyun frowned.
"That's right."
Xia Xu nodded slightly, but did not introduce further.
The strain he was referring to was naturally the scalpel virus mentioned by Gu Haiming before.
The most feasible and convenient gene editing technology in modern genetic engineering is through viruses. There are a few viruses in nature that can copy, cut, paste and other operations on gene chains. The scalpel virus is the gene editing virus cultivated and iterated by the Andra Group.
This virus can be said to be the essence of Andra Group's various genetic modification technologies and the most indispensable tool. Only with it can we try beast-human modulation and gene fusion technology, or develop our own technology.
However, Xia Xu only mentioned this condition in passing, hoping for a lucky break.
To be honest, if the authorities really seized something like this, the chances of them giving it back are slim.
Moreover, Andra must have kept the virus strain highly confidential. When the operation was carried out, the so-called Dr. Z behind the scenes was not caught. If they had time to evacuate, they would definitely destroy it, so it is not certain whether the official has obtained it.
"As far as I know, no such thing was found in Decheng last time. There were no biological experts with the team at that time, and ordinary logistics and police officers would not have consciously collected and sealed these."
Luo Hongyun shook his head and gave an answer that made Xia Xu slightly disappointed even though he had expected it.
"Okay, let's forget about this for now."
Xia Xu still believed what Luo Hongyun said, so he nodded slightly and skipped this condition for the time being, and continued: "The third condition is that I hope to obtain military qualifications for Xinghai Industry and Xinghai Biology, including but not limited to the production and sale of hot weapons, high-risk biological research and sales of results, as well as a series of relevant legal certificates and qualifications."
“Theoretically, it’s possible, but it’s very difficult.”
Hearing Xia Xu's condition, Luo Hongyun nodded slightly.
Xia Xu's conditions were more excessive than each other. Not to mention the Xinyuan Building and the strain, military qualifications were not easy to obtain in any country.
It is not that Xiaguo has no private military-industrial enterprises at all as many ordinary people believe, but most of these private military-industrial enterprises are actually historical relics, which were converted from state-owned enterprises to private enterprises during special periods.
It is extremely difficult to allow a completely privately-owned enterprise to obtain military qualifications. Even if it uses biological weapons as a gimmick, it is likely that there will be wrangling among all parties.
Special departments have great authority, but they can only act conveniently in practice. It is impossible for them to extend their authority to other institutions. After all, they are ultimately just functional departments for special responses.
However, this is not something that Luo Hongyun should worry about.
Anyway, as Xia Xu said, he was only responsible for reporting it. Whether it could be agreed and how to negotiate after it was agreed were issues that the higher-ups had to consider.
"Anything else?"
Luo Hongyun continued to ask.
"Well, there's one last little thing."
Xia Xu nodded and said, "Help me find someone."
"Who?"
Luo Hongyun asked.
"Not anyone in particular. I need to find a surgeon."
Xia Xu finished speaking and emphasized: "The best surgeon."
Finding a surgeon is naturally for Gu Haiming's second heart project.
If this technology is successfully researched, it can be regarded as a very good human enhancement technology. It does not involve genetic modification, and its safety factor and universality will be much higher. Its application prospects and commercial prospects are extremely promising.
Although the official authorities do not have such convenient and fast attribute checking capabilities, their own social system is sufficient to discover and screen a large number of top talents with academic achievements. Xia Guo has indeed been building a talent pool through various talent guarantee and reserve plans early on.
“That’s no problem.”
Hearing Xia Xu's last condition, Luo Hongyun agreed readily.
This is probably the simplest and easiest of these conditions. It only requires a surgeon. You can always find a suitable one by checking around domestic hospitals.
"Don't agree too readily, Uncle Luo, my requirements are very high."
Xia Xu shook his head: "First of all, I need the person to work in my company, so he cannot have an official background or a background in a special organization. Secondly, I must evaluate him with my own eyes and satisfy me."
"So how high is your high standard? You have to give a more specific description so we can find it, right?"
Luo Hongyun said helplessly.
"perhaps… "
This question stumped Xia Xu. After a moment of hesitation, he finally found the right description: "Just like your strength in close combat, Uncle Luo."
Luo Hongyun: “…”
As strong as me
It's not that he is conceited. Just speaking from the facts, without the help of external objects and without taking into account those non-human creatures, he has never seen anyone as strong as himself. Even those non-human monsters are mostly not as strong as him.
If I were placed in those martial arts novels, I would probably be the kind of super genius that appears once in a thousand years or ten thousand years.
Looking for a doctor whose surgical skills are as good as his melee prowess
What are you doing
I originally thought this was the easiest condition, but now it seems that this is probably the most difficult one.
"I try to ..."
This time his words became very unconfident.
