As the saying goes: People die for money and birds die for food.
In Xie Zhiqiang's eyes, wealth can definitely be ranked second, and his little life is ranked first. For money, he can kill his father, his mother, his wife and his children, and he can do all kinds of bad things. His motto is: Anyone who stands in my way of making money will die.
And at this time.
There were more than a dozen guns pointed at him, and as long as one person raised his finger, he could be killed. But at this critical moment, he showed no fear. He sat on the soft sofa and even motioned to the four men behind him to put down their guns. He looked at the white foreigner directly in front of him with a half-smile.
"Brother Cole, don't blame me for raising the price. The genetic drug particles we jointly developed are too precious. The original agreement between us was that once the gene particle research is completed, you need to pay me 200 million US dollars. Gene Take the pellets and the research materials with you. But the time it takes to study this genetic drug is much longer than we expected. In the past two years, you have given up on adding additional funds, but I paid for it all myself. So, one billion U.S. dollars, don’t even think about taking away the gene particles for a penny less. If your people dare to shoot, come on, come on, shoot me in the head. My death is a trivial matter, but I’m afraid the gene particles you researched You can never get it again." Xie Zhiqiang touched his chin and said with a half-smile.
The tall, imposing Austin Cole has murderous intent looming in his eyes. When he wants to kill someone, he will habitually pinch the bottom button of his clothes with his fingers. At this moment, his fingers will pinch Clothing buttons. He had met many greedy people, but no one dared to raise a price from him.
but.
He knew very well that Xie Zhiqiang had a deep friendship with the big boss of their SOE, and had even saved the big boss's life. If Xie Zhiqiang is killed, even though the big boss will not directly fall out with him, he may not be kind to him in the future.
However, he is absolutely unwilling to bear the price of one billion US dollars.
"Xie, we have had problems within SOE in the past two years. I believe you should have heard of some. Because all the funds have been invested in big projects, we have not been able to inject funds on time. This is indeed our mistake. But one billion US dollars The price is too high. Not even me, not even the Boss can agree to it. Three hundred million US dollars, this is our bottom line. If you can't agree, then you can only be our enemy."
Xie Zhiqiang smiled coldly: "Three hundred million U.S. dollars? Where are you sending to beg for food? My own investment in the past two years has been nearly 200 million U.S. dollars, and many research materials have been imported from various countries around the world. Nanoworms, You should know something about it, right? In order to get it, I sent people to loot a secret research institute in the United States in Africa. Do you know how much I lost? Forty real warriors, but twenty-seven died there. Of the thirteen who escaped with the nanobugs, four are permanently disabled."
"In addition, do you know where I got the information about that research laboratory? I spent 25 million US dollars to buy it from the Black Wind Organization. You want me to increase the price by 100 million US dollars? You have the nerve to say that. exit."
Austin Cole was silent. He didn't know whether what Xie Zhiqiang said was true, but the breach of contract was indeed their fault. Eight years have passed since the joint research began. In the past six years, their SOE company invested a total of US$480 million, but as a result, there was no substantial progress in research results. Therefore, just when they had given up on this plan, they unexpectedly received news that the experiment was successful.
Gene particles!
He must get it. Once he has the gene particles, he can transform the bodies of ordinary people and create a group of genetically mutated masters. Although their SOE company has its own armed forces, compared with the world's top armed forces, the gap is still very large.
"Five hundred million dollars, that's the bottom line."
Austin Cole finally compromised and retreated directly to give up another $200 million. This amount is also the highest price he can decide.
Xie Zhiqiang shook his head and said: "I said, I will not sell gene particles to your SOE company for one billion US dollars or even a penny less. I believe that once I sell nanoparticles to other large foreign forces, there will be countless forces I am willing to pay more than one billion to buy it.”
Austin Cole said angrily: "Are you forcing me?"
Xie Zhiqiang said: "Yes, I am forcing you. If you want to buy, let's trade. If you don't want to, let's go our separate ways. This is China. Although you have brought many people, it is not easy to kill me. Maybe , whether you can go beyond the Chinese border is a question."
"Everyone who has ever threatened me is dead."
Austin Cole did not say this sentence himself, but he repeated it three times in his heart. For the sake of the gene particles, and for the SOE company to cultivate a large number of powerful genetic warriors, and to double and increase SOE's armed forces tenfold, all he has to do now is to be patient.
As a Cuban cigar was taken out, a middle-aged man lit it for Austin Cole. After taking a few puffs of the cigarette, Austin Cole waved his hand and asked a dozen of his men to put down their guns and watched. Xie Zhiqiang said calmly: "My authority is only 500 million US dollars. I need to contact the boss about this matter and ask him for his decision."
Xie Zhiqiang shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "I will give you three days at most. If I don't get a reply within three days, the file set in the computer mailbox will automatically send the file. By then, at least all the files will be sent. Twenty of the world's top forces sent people to China to discuss deals with me."
Austin Cole subconsciously touched the bottom button of his clothes again, nodded with a cold face, stood up and left quickly.
Half a minute later.
A girl with a voluptuous figure and heavy makeup walked out of the next room. She held a sharp butterfly knife in her hand, flipping it up and down while playing with it, and pulled out blossoms of knife flowers.
"I'm asking for money, so you're not afraid of completely irritating Austin Cole? That guy is famous for being ruthless." the girl asked with a smile.
Xie Zhiqiang sneered and said: "I have provoked a lot of ruthless people. One more person is not too much, and one person less than him is not a lot. At the beginning, there was no hope, which made me so embarrassed. Now that the gene particles have been researched, they Like a hungry wolf approaching me after smelling the fishy smell, if I don’t force them to bleed me hard, the bad breath in my heart won’t go away.”
The girl smiled and said: "If the big boss of SOE makes a decision, how will you decide?"
There was a look of fear in Xie Zhiqiang's eyes. After a long silence, he slowly said: "I still understand his character somewhat. Things that can be solved with money will never cause problems. Of course, if he is really willing to shamelessly spend 500 million US dollars, Just buy it and sell it to him. The gene particles will definitely not be sold to just one company. Help me contact and investigate, and I will definitely find two more wealthy customers."
The girl narrowed her eyes and asked with a half-smile: "Aren't you afraid that everyone will know that you have gene particles in your hand? By then, I'm afraid countless forces will be targeting you."
Xie Zhiqiang sneered: "What are you afraid of? After selling it to a few stores, I will hand over the formula of the gene particles to the state. Do you think the state will leave me alone at this time?"
“…”
The girl gave a thumbs up, with an expression of admiration on her heavily made-up face.
Paradise Villa.
Tang Xiu was sitting in the living room of the foreign-style building where Ouyang Lulu usually lived. In front of him were the gifts given to him by Ji Mu. As his fingers fiddled with the strings, the melodious sound of the piano brought a feast to the ears. Ouyang Lulu sat cross-legged at the coffee table in front of him, concentrating on making tea.
"Boss, Ji Mu is here."
Mo Awu walked a few steps quickly and came to Tang Xiu and said.
Tang Xiu didn't say anything and continued to play the entire piano piece before gently waving his hand. Soon, Ji Mu arrived with a beautifully wrapped gift box. He carefully placed the gift box in front of Tang Xiu and took two steps back.
"What kind of treasure is this?"
Tang Xiu pointed at the gift box and asked expressionlessly.
Ji Mu shook his head and said, "I don't know. Two hours ago, when I said goodbye to my grandma, she asked me to bring it to you."
Tang Xiu pointed to the sofa opposite, and after Ji Mu sat down, he asked, "Tell me about it! What is your real purpose?"
Ji Mu had thought it through in his mind, but he was still a little panicked when it came to it. However, when he suppressed the emotion and mustered up the courage, he said: "I want to be a superman, or someone with magical powers. Just like Just like you did in Mang Mountain, you could soar through the clouds and ride on the mist, and kill the enemy with your sword."
Tang Xiu suddenly raised his head, his cold eyes full of murderous intent, and said in a cold voice: "Were you nearby at that time?"
Ji Mu was stared at by Tang Xiu, and a chill ran up from his tailbone, even to the back of his neck. He suddenly felt as if he was being stared at by a ferocious beast, as if the beast might pounce on him and bite him at any time.
"Yes! I'm nearby."
Holding on, Ji Mu took the risk and nodded in reply.
Tang Xiu asked indifferently: "Besides you, who else saw it? Also, who did you tell about this matter?"
Ji Mu shook his head and said: "Besides me, there is no one else. Ever since I saw those things, I realized that I couldn't tell others easily, so I didn't tell anyone."
Tang Xiu snorted coldly: "If you answer like this, aren't you afraid that I will kill you to avoid future troubles?"
Ji Mu said bitterly: "Actually, I have made preparations. Being able to leave alive today means that I made a profit and made the right bet. If I die here today, even though I will leave a lot of regrets, I will have to pay the price if I lose. admit."
Tang Xiu looked at him deeply, then casually took the fragrant tea handed over by Ouyang Lulu, drank it all in one gulp, put the cup on the table, and reached out to unwrap the exquisite packaging. When he saw clearly the rectangular wooden box inside, his expression was slightly startled.
"Fangshengmu?"
