While Jiang Chen was concentrating on enjoying his dinner, a blond and blue-eyed beauty suddenly sat across from him.
Without raising his head, Jiang Chen didn't even have to think about who was coming.
"How did you know I was dining here?"
"You must not have noticed that the Russian Embassy is on the street next door, and how conspicuous your Lamborghini is parked on the side of the road." Natasha pursed her red lips slightly and asked the waiter to bring her some rice.
"I remember that Russians cannot live without bread. Is it okay to eat rice?" Jiang Chen glanced at the bowl of rice in front of her.
"It doesn't matter. I studied traditional Chinese culture before working here." As if to show off, Natasha picked up two chopsticks and turned them over between her fingers as if turning a pen.
Do normal people play with chopsticks like this before eating? Jiang Chen complained silently in his heart.
"What do you want from me?" Jiang Chen asked straight to the point.
"Nothing special, how about a meal?" Natasha asked the waiter to serve two bottles of beer.
"If you like drinking beer so much, aren't you afraid of getting a beer belly?" Jiang Chen teased.
"Are you concerned about my figure?" Natasha pursed her lips and smiled.
Jiang Chen looked away.
This girl is definitely seducing me again.
"By the way, can I also play with your virtual reality helmet?"
Hearing this, Jiang Chen sighed.
"Didn't we just agree to make a living?"
"Can't friends talk about this topic?" Natasha said while holding a beer glass and taking a sip.
"Of course. When the Phantom Helmet is officially released, I will give you one as a personal gift." Jiang Chen said with a smile.
Seeing that Jiang Chen obviously didn't intend to reveal anything, Natasha sighed.
"Well, the Kremlin wants me to find out how advanced your virtual reality technology is... Don't get me wrong, I'm just asking because we are a little out of touch with the world in this regard. But I think even if I asked, you wouldn't Can you say it right?"
"That's right." Jiang Chen was very satisfied with Natasha's confession.
Giving Jiang Chen a rollicking look, Natasha picked up a piece of braised pork with her chopsticks. Sent into that Yanhong's mouth. Even in every gesture, there is a hint of bewitchment in it. Jiang Chen's choice was not to look at her to avoid being distracted.
"What about the nutritional mixture?" Natasha then asked.
"Nutritional mixture? Is the Kremlin still interested in nutritional mixture?" Jiang Chen laughed.
"To be precise, the Ministry of National Defense and the Space Agency are very interested. Because we tried to buy the nutritional mixture you produced. Although we were not full after drinking it, we unexpectedly found that we would not have diarrhea after drinking it-"
"Ahem, we are eating now." Jiang Chen coughed lightly and reminded.
Natasha suddenly understood and changed her statement.
"Hmm... I can't exclude. Your Chinese culture is really broad and profound."
Actually, what you want to say is trouble... Jiang Chen glanced at her sideways. Continue to deal with the delicious food on your plate.
"so what?"
"We want to cooperate with you to develop a nutritional mixture that is easy to carry, can maintain physical strength after drinking, and will not cause diarrhea at critical moments." Natasha stopped using her chopsticks and put her elbows on them. On the table, he looked at Jiang Chen with a smile and said.
"One that is easy to carry and allows soldiers to get enough calories after drinking without having to relieve their hands at critical times, right?" Jiang Chen put down his chopsticks, took a tissue and wiped his mouth.
"There are also astronauts who use nutritional mixture as supplies. We can save space for feces disposal." Seeing that Jiang Chen had finished eating, Natasha no longer worried about the words and went straight to the point.
"To be honest, we have already developed this kind of thing, so we don't really need to cooperate with you on technology." Jiang Chen sighed and said, "But I personally remain cautious about entering the munitions market. This thing is It’s like feces, you can’t wash it off after it gets on your hands.”
"It's just military food, not a tool for killing people. You don't need to be so neurotic." Natasha sighed. "Just like an Internet company like Google, didn't they design a mechanical dog for the US military to carry supplies?"
After hearing Natasha's words, Jiang Chen fell into deep thought.
After a long time, Jiang Chen spoke.
"Tell me how you plan to cooperate?"
"Three options. One. You transfer the production technology of military-type nutritional mixture to us and guarantee that it will not be leaked to third parties. We will acquire your technology for US$100 million."
"It's too cheap. I don't really want to sell it." Jiang Chen said casually.
In addition to being cheap, the organic synthesis furnace required to produce nutritional mixtures contains too much advanced technology, such as the molecular screening net inside. That's something modern technology simply can't do. The formula of the nutritional mixture itself is not expensive, what is expensive is the technology to produce it.
Not surprised by Jiang Chen's answer, Natasha pursed her lips and smiled, then stretched out her second finger.
"Second, we give you policies and you build factories in our country. We have abundant labor resources and raw material supply markets."
"I only plan to build the nutritional mixture production plant on Anga Island. With so many things happening, I don't have a sense of security, you know." Jiang Chen said calmly.
Staring at Jiang Chen angrily, Natasha took a deep breath and stretched out her third finger.
"Three, you produce, we import."
"Military type?"
"Of course." Natasha nodded.
Jiang Chen was silent for a moment.
"Can I know the approximate size of your order?"
"Twenty million pills per month." Natasha said.
20 million? That is 20 boxes of nutritional mixture. If the pursuit of low calories was not excessive, the cost of nutritional mixture would be much cheaper. For example, special DH seaweed must be used to produce nutrient mixtures now, but if the nutrient mixtures in the wasteland are produced, any vegetables and fruits can be used as raw materials to produce nutrient mixtures above grade A.
The prices of fruits and R-type fruits are very low for a new country that is close to a major agricultural and animal husbandry country.
"What kind of price can you accept?" Jiang Chen asked.
"$3 a pop." Natasha suggested nervously.
The average daily food expense for Russian soldiers is 351 rubles, equivalent to US$4.6 in US dollars. Considering that nutritional mixtures can replace normal diet, as long as the price of nutritional mixtures is not too high, purchasing nutritional mixtures is not a burden for the Russian army. On the contrary, it can reduce military expenditures on food to a certain extent. Moreover, nutritional mixtures are easy to store. If you use nutritional mixtures as strategic material reserves, you can also save a lot of money.
But if the retail price of the nutritional mixture is US$6.1 per bottle, it is impossible for them to afford it.
So when the price of $3 was proposed, Natasha was very nervous, fearing that Jiang Chen would think the price they offered was too low and would fall out or talk about it.
too low
It would be better to say that Jiang Chen felt a little high.
Jiang Chen calculated it in his mind. If you produce a conventional nutritional mixture, the cost is only about US$1, which is much lower than the cost of the improved nutritional mixture. Isn’t it too dark to earn $2 for each nutritional supplement
And more importantly, it is very convenient to expand the production capacity of this nutritional mixture. There is no need to expand the dh seaweed planting area. It can be done with ordinary fruits and vegetables, or even leftovers from restaurants.
Jiang Chen glanced at Natasha and saw that her face was tense, as if she was afraid that he would reject her.
Hehe, why is this so embarrassing? Since you don't mind it being expensive, I'll sell it to you.
After coughing, Jiang Chen pretended to be serious.
"Although this price is somewhat different from my psychological price, considering the friendly cooperative relationship between us... the deal is done."
A charming smile immediately appeared on Natasha's face, and she looked obviously relieved.
"Thank you for your generosity and wish us a happy collaboration."
"You're welcome." Jiang Chen's mouth curved.
Looking at the expression on Jiang Chen's face, Natasha frowned slightly in confusion.
His faint smile always made her feel like she was being cheated. But she couldn't tell where exactly she was tricked. (.)
