When Rocky recovered from his daze, the waiter had taken away the wine glass that had fallen to the ground. Looking at Jiang Chen, who still had a calm smile on his face, he also smiled apologetically.
"Sorry, I was rude just now."
"It's okay." Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"Um..." Swallowing, Rocky quickly glanced left and right. After confirming that no one was paying attention, he lowered his voice and asked urgently, "What did you just say about extending life span... The same thing?"
"In fact, this is also a technology that we have only recently achieved breakthroughs in." At this point, Jiang Chen stopped talking, looked at Rocky and smiled faintly, then turned and walked towards the small balcony of the banquet hall. There is a customary rest area. No one will disturb you when you stand here, which prevents the conversation from being accidentally overheard.
After hearing what Jiang Chen left, Luo Qi was stunned for a moment and hurriedly followed. Placing the wine glass on the marble guardrail of the balcony, Jiang Chen overlooked the night view outside the Hilton Hotel, narrowed his eyes slightly against the blowing evening breeze, and continued in a casual tone.
"Our researchers have found a way to extend DNA telomeres. Although the technology is still in the experimental stage, it can delay the aging of already aged cells." At this point, Jiang Chen stopped talking and looked at Luo Qi smiled and said no more.
Rocky held his breath.
After a while, he pretended to smile calmly.
“Are you planning to promote this technology?”
Even if you want to, you can't show it too obviously, otherwise it will be equivalent to exposing yourself to the other party's chopping board without reservation. It can't even be said to be experience. This is completely common sense in the business world. Rocky habitually hides his desire to extend his life, but he has no idea how artificial his behavior is in the eyes of others.
Seeing the old man Luo Qi still pretending, Jiang Chen was holding back his laughter, secretly thinking that this old guy was really calm. This thing is not a one or two billion deal, but is related to a lifespan that cannot be bought with money.
He didn't think that Rocky was really not interested. The richer a person was, the more he cherished his life, because once he died, all the wealth, identity, and status in front of him would be in vain. There are people who are willing to give up everything and accept reincarnation, but it is definitely not him, Rocky.
"We don't have this plan yet." Seeing that Luo Qi didn't express his position, Jiang Chen was not in a hurry. He raised his glass and took a sip, smiled slightly, and brought up the topic in one sentence, "You know, one person's The life span suddenly changed from one hundred years to two hundred years, which affected not only his family, but also the entire society in which he lived. Promoting this technology? Believe me, that would definitely be a disaster."
After saying this, Jiang Chen naturally shifted the topic to the newly completed space elevator and the Marchena Port in geostationary orbit, and talked about the future development of the space industry and the expansion of space colonies in North and South America.
If it were in the past, Rocky would definitely listen carefully to every word Jiang Chen said and keep it in mind. However, now his mind is not on this at all, and he is completely distracted by the previous sentence of "extending life span".
He is now in his sixties, and will celebrate his seventieth birthday in a few years. He is getting closer and closer to God. Under his management, the Boston consortium grew bigger and bigger, boarding the ship of the Star Circle trade. Now it has even surpassed Morgan and Rockefeller to become the leader of the North American consortium, and the surname Rocky has also become a legend on Wall Street.
As for regrets, he has no regrets in his life.
. For at least a hundred years, the big tree of Star Ring Trade will not fall. As long as his descendants do not commit suicide, the Boston Consortium and the Lodge family will be able to prosper forever. Even if the old man God is standing in front of him now, he can calmly walk away with him and pass on the position of patriarch to his eldest son.
But now...
Jiang Chen told him that he could live longer.
If someone else was bragging to him, saying that he had a magical medicine that could prolong life, he would definitely sneer at it and not take such nonsense to heart. However, the person who said this was Jiang Chen, the chairman of Futureman Group, which made him unable to ignore it.
Many people may have forgotten how powerful human biology technology will be in the future. After all, apart from the well-known product of nutritional mixture, this company seems to be extremely low-key, and many people don't even know that this company exists.
However, Rocky will not forget this name. To this day, he still clearly remembers who solved the T-virus that stumped the world's pharmaceutical giants...
Finally, Rocky couldn't help but speak first.
"About the method of extending DNA telomeres..." As soon as the words came out, Rocky met Jiang Chen's smiling eyes and thought to himself that he might not be able to avoid this attack, so he simply continued speaking. ,"can we talk?"
No matter how high the price is, he will find a way to win. He was just praying in his heart that Jiang Chen's appetite wouldn't be too big.
"I was just wondering how long you could hold on." Jiang Chen suddenly laughed.
"No one can resist the temptation of immortality." Now that he had confessed, Rocky no longer concealed his desire for DNA telomere extension technology. Instead, he also smiled and looked at the night view outside the balcony and said, "Now that you told me, you definitely didn't come to make fun of me on purpose. Tell me, what do you need to do to help me?"
"Don't be so nervous. The conditions are actually very simple for you." Jiang Chen smiled and tapped his index finger on the wine glass. "Have you ever heard of the term Earth Federation?"
Luo Qi was stunned for a moment and immediately understood what Jiang Chen meant, with a trace of helplessness appearing on his face.
"You haven't given up yet? You know that's impossible."
"Why isn't it possible?"
After staring at Jiang Chen for a long time, Luo Qi slowly spoke.
"are you serious?"
"Since I mentioned DNA telomere extension technology to you, I have not said a word of joking. Instead, I have been discussing this issue with you seriously." After a pause, Jiang Chen said in a serious tone, "If the Boston consortium is willing to stand From our side, we don’t mind giving our partners longevity.”
"We are always on your side, what do you need from us?" Rocky said.
"It is too difficult to realize our plan using politics as the starting point, so I decided to start from the economic level," Jiang Chen smiled and continued while looking at Rocky, whose expression remained unchanged. "We plan to establish a World Bank, not the one of the United Nations, but a real World Bank. It will be independent of any political individuals, issue currency independently, and establish a currency exchange system with central banks of various countries... "
If Starlink Trading takes the lead in establishing the World Bank, it will inevitably arouse the vigilance of various countries. After all, Starlink Trading has now become the world's hegemon, and every move it makes will attract the attention of senior officials from various countries.
Letting the Boston consortium come forward is the best option. Firstly, it is easy to control, and secondly, it has enough prestige in the American financial world. Although the status of the US dollar has plummeted, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Wall Street capitalists still sit firmly in the top spot, but there is an internal crisis. There was a power reshuffle.
"Are you planning to..." Luo Qi said with a trembling voice, interrupting Jiang Chen's words.
Looking at the shocked Luo Qi, Jiang Chen nodded.
"That's right, before we unify the world, we plan to unify the currency first."
