Of course, the biggest benefit France gained from this trilateral exchange was the detailed information about the evolvers.

Regardless of how much private information China and the United States will retain, at least the current information fills a major gap in France, especially when Cordel knows that among the countries in the world today, only five countries, including them, are aware of this, and even the United Kingdom does not know it yet.

This gives people a subtle sense of superiority. Although it is estimated that Britain will soon learn about this from the United States, France is still a small step ahead after all.

After coming across information about evolvers, one of the more obvious characteristics is their increased demand for food.

Not all evolvers meet this requirement. The Russian man and Huang Jiutian’s demands for food are not exaggerated, but those who have a high demand for food are most likely at the beginning stages of evolution, and their food types are relatively fleshy.

After learning about the information of the evolvers, Cordell immediately thought of a report on bulimia he had seen before. He wanted to verify it but found that someone had gotten there first.

This feeling is really terrible.

But on second thought, this means that there are other groups in the country that are suspected to understand the evolvers. They might be the Dawn Association or the last group of people who arrived at the reservoir.

We can only investigate slowly. Although it is possible that the Chinese and Americans are poaching our talents, it is not a good idea to ask about this kind of thing. If it turns out not to be the case, we might expose new clues.

Compared with Cordell's entanglement, Brown felt like he had entered heaven.

The small yacht was like a treasure chest, with endless food. He was actually very full after eating three turkeys, but he could not resist all the desserts and delicacies, so he ate until he could not move anymore.

At this moment, as long as he is full, he feels happy. As he has nothing, he has only the mentality of "whoever gives you milk is your mother", and the most uncomfortable feeling is inferiority and uneasiness.

"Is there anyone who would be so kind as to help me? Who cares? As long as I can have enough to eat, I'll do anything!"

Without any sense of mission or honor, there is no understanding of what glory will come in the future.

…

On the outskirts of Los Angeles County along the River, a park covering several thousand square meters, including a small garden with a wall and a three-story building for office and laboratory use, is attracting a group of new prospective tenants to visit.

Raven, an employee of the real estate agency, enthusiastically took the group, which included two Chinese and three or four white youths, to see the house.

"Everyone, this is a garden-style building with a history of 70 years. More than a dozen scientists or scholars have studied and worked here. Have you heard of the Jumping Fragrance Box? Its researchers got the inspiration here."

Raven looked at the group of people, and no one reacted.

“Very famous, and very convenient for packing camping lunches!”

Still no one agreed. They were either looking at materials or playing with their phones.

"Uh, haven't you heard of it? It doesn't matter. Anyway, the environment here is beautiful and spacious. There are enough scientific research and office areas, as well as accommodation buildings, a bathhouse and a small restaurant. It is a perfect private research environment!"

Zhao Chen looked at the introduction information about the building in his hand.

"I saw it said that no one has lived here for more than 20 years. Where are the natural gas lines? Where are the circuit equipment? Where are the network equipment? And are the furniture and living equipment inside outdated? How many things need to be modified to adapt to modern research?"

Zhao Chen's own female translator immediately raised these questions.

Raven was a little embarrassed, as he himself was not very clear about many questions.

“Some of them are still functional!”

"Oh, just some things. The cafeteria and bathhouse are actually separated. This used to be a factory, right? And when it stops working, we need to go out to solve these problems. The surrounding area is very depressed, with no shops or facilities. Does that mean we have to drive to the prosperous area 5 kilometers away?"

The translator relayed this series of questions to Raven again.

I took out my handkerchief and wiped the sweat off my head, feeling a little hot.

"These, these can be used to reduce the rent as appropriate. Let's go in and take a look, let's go in and take a look!"

Zhao Chen nodded, looked at Jenny and others, and then said.

"Let's go in and take a look. Although two hundred thousand dollars is very cheap in a big city, this area is not even as good as the countryside. I'm almost losing interest."

The translator then whispered the meaning to Jenny and the others, and Raven next to them felt extremely embarrassed.

The specially made large lock on the rusty iron door was opened by the key that Raven took out.

"Well, there is no electronic door, the door lock is outdated and unsafe, there is no electric fence, and the doorbell uses physical sound transmission... Are we here to visit the ancient town?"

Zhao Chen chuckled.

Even without the translation, Raven knew that this was sarcasm, and lamented in his heart that this plan would be ruined again.

“Wow, it’s so beautiful!”

Jenny exclaimed in praise, and Mark and Joey were also cheered up.

Putting aside the old buildings in the distance, the garden is shaded by green trees, many wild flowers are in full bloom, and there is also a small pond.

Amid the fragrance of flowers, the environment is undoubtedly very beautiful.

However, although the garden was an eye-opener, Zhao Chen's sharp tongue did not stop.

"It's OK, but there are too many weeds, the greenery hasn't been trimmed for years, and there are no snakes, insects, rats or ants. I think we need to hire an extermination company. It looks beautiful, but it takes a lot of work to clean it up. I would rather pull it all out and build a basketball court. I would rather go to the park to see greenery."

Raven wanted to refute him, but he held back because his last rebuttal had raised more questions.

After the entire visit, Zhao Chen found dozens of shortcomings in this building that Raven described as a beautiful and historical place, and he made a long list of renovation costs.

Poor location, old facilities, high renovation costs, low appreciation potential...

Even the agent, Raven, began to doubt the actual value of the building.

Jenny felt that the investigator sent by the Sun Aid Foundation was not only overly enthusiastic but also overly capable. Not only did he directly sign the aid contract for their research project, he also helped them investigate and look for a good location.

For a fund, this is quite a lot of help.

Is their project really that valuable?

In the afternoon, Lei Wen, who had already talked to the original owner twice on the phone, finally agreed to rent the place for the US$100,000 a year price mentioned by Zhao Chen.

"Mr. Zhao, it's unbelievable that you can rent such a large piece of land in Los Angeles at this price!"

Although Raven said this, he was still very happy to sign the contract. After all, it was the employer who suffered the loss, and he would get the commission.

"Haha, in my opinion, this is just a deserted corner of Los Angeles. It's better to rent it for $100,000 than to leave it empty for another 20 years and wait for it to collapse!"

"I can't argue with you... I will revise the contract as soon as possible, and the owner can sign it tomorrow. I'm going back to the company first!"

When Raven drove away, Jenny and the others couldn't help but cheer.

Such a large area will belong to them from now on! And the location of the Shuguang branch.

As the people who actually rented the venue, today they just looked like a bunch of followers and spectators.

On the second day, after the contract was officially signed and the keys were handed over, Jenny and others would have the right to use the place for the next five years as long as the rent continued to be paid.

Outside the agency, Zhao Chen shook hands with Jenny and others one by one.

"Okay, everything is settled. I am also preparing to return home. The first year's rent has been paid off, and your research funding will be in place soon. I wish you will achieve results soon!"

Several young people who had no sense of presence in the past two days said goodbye to Zhao Chen with gratitude, and as for their research results at that time, they could only say sorry in their hearts.

After Zhao Chen left, several young people began to prepare the energy-shaping material accessories needed by their mentor with great excitement. It wouldn't be long before this place would become a real secret place of the Dawn branch.

…

At the airport, the accompanying translator couldn't help but raise questions.

"Mr. Zhao, I don't see any investment value in their crappy project. Can they break through the Heifkli Limit whenever they want? It's not like they're playing Anaconda! Why did you come here in person..."

Seeing that no one was paying attention, Zhao Chen patted the translator's seductive buttocks, eliciting a delicate "hate".

"My brother-in-law never does business at a loss. Since he told me that I must invest in this small team, there must be a reason for it. And didn't you notice..."

"It's been a few days. Whether they're moving things or running around, I've never seen them sweat in such a hot day. Even that girl didn't even breathe heavily. This shows that their physical fitness is far superior to that of ordinary people. That biological project is probably not groundless!"

"That's called foresight. The Sun family's success today is not due to luck!"

The female translator was shocked. She hadn't paid any attention to this and didn't know if it was as Zhao Chen said.
