“Since you know what this means, don’t you think my offer is not excessive at all?” Boris still had that indifferent expression.
Negotiation is a thing.
It's not as wonderful as everyone imagines.
It's important to know that negotiations between two countries often involve physical altercations.
What does it mean to remain calm even if Mount Tai collapses before you?
That's nonsense. Negotiations between two countries are a matter of shouting as loudly as possible.
That knife was meant to stab someone in the heart, so Wang Shouren gave a cold laugh.
“I know, but this information can only be used as a reference. General Boris, you should know that in the 1960s, after your country withdrew a large number of experts from our country, the only people we could turn to for help were the United States. And your country’s system is completely different from the United States’ system. Therefore, our later scientific research has gradually transformed into its own system.”
“We’ll take your stuff, but we won’t understand it. Even if you bring someone with you, we’ll still need time to organize it. Mr. Andrei should understand that it will take at least a year or two. And even after it’s organized, whether the information will be of any use to us is another matter.”
Andrei nodded involuntarily.
The amount of information was indeed ridiculously large.
That's not something one person can solve.
"In conclusion, we need to spend a lot of manpower to determine and organize this data. After that, we will need to spend even more manpower to study it. It may take five to ten years before we can produce the first batch of results. Your data is valuable; it represents the hard work of scientists. But it is only hard work. It only has reference value," Wang Shouren said calmly.
"You!" Boris gritted his teeth, the words practically escaping from between them: "Aren't you afraid that one day the bald eagle will turn against you too?"
Zhang Ren looked at Boris with a half-smile: "General Boris, this issue needs to be considered after the bigger one falls. Judging from the current situation, I think our country and the United States will have a long period of peace."
What is a game-winning shot?
This is called a decisive blow.
The bigger one.
It naturally refers to the Russian bear.
"Name your price." Boris stopped haggling. He could tell that the man in front of him had no intention of offering a good price. However, he had to admit that Wang Shouren's words had lowered his expectations.
Why? Because he agreed with Wang Shouren's statement.
He had previously studied technology, but later joined the army, and he knew that what Wang Shouren said was true.
What he didn't know was that Wang Shouren was using his knowledge of the future to launch a devastating attack on him.
What he said was seven parts truth and three parts falsehood. To say that this information was useless would be nonsense, and to say that it wasn't that important would also be nonsense. But isn't that how buying things always works? You have to show that you don't care about the item in order to get a good price.
“This price,” Wang Shouren wrote a number on the table.
"Impossible!" Boris jumped to his feet. "Absolutely impossible!"
“General Boris, I think you should know what it means for you to be able to ship these things out and sell them.”
Upon hearing Wang Shouren's words, Boris's raging anger instantly subsided.
Yes, he did think about it.
He would not have shipped this thing out to sell as long as there was any hope left in the country.
Humans are amazing creatures.
Faith is also a very magical thing.
If everyone is poor, they can continue with the support of their faith. Even if many people die, they can still act impulsively for their dreams.
However, if in a relatively peaceful environment, some people are poor, some are rich, and some take it for granted that they can be traitors, then problems are only a matter of time. The problem of inequality, rather than scarcity, is a rather serious one.
This problem with the Russian bear has been brewing for far too long.
Boris Johnson's actions can be described as treason.
But who cared? They just told him to get rid of those blueprints. Not even a single person came to supervise. He knew perfectly well what this country had become.
Boris's eyes were bloodshot as he said, enunciating each word clearly, "Not enough!"
Then, he stretched out his finger and wrote a number on the table: "I won't sell it for even a penny less than this price."
Liu Bo watched in horror; well, he had never seen such a thrilling confrontation in his life.
To put it simply, if Boris asked for 100 million (for example), and Wang Shouren immediately told him it was 10,000, who could possibly accept that?
"No." Wang Shouren shook his head.
Liu Bo's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the big guy would get angry and refuse to sell?
Boris snorted, seemingly unwilling to continue the conversation.
But Wang Shouren's next words made him stop in his tracks: "For this amount, I'll help you open an overseas account, and... a route to overseas, to guarantee your safety. As long as you can come here."
Boris paused for a moment, looked at Wang Shouren, and said in a muffled voice, "How much will it cost?"
Wang Shouren flashed eight teeth: "Free."
“You win.” Boris picked up his hat, turned and left. Andrei wanted to follow, but Wang Shouren stopped him.
"No, you..."
“Mr. Andrei, Mr. Boris didn’t ask you to leave, did he?”
Andrei was dumbfounded.
Boris turned and glanced at him: "Go with them, Andrei. Our country can't hold on any longer. Go with them, at least..."
Before he could finish speaking, Boris pushed open the door and left without saying another word.
Andrei was completely numb.
You fucking told me to come and check on things, and then you ran off, leaving me to stay behind. What's the meaning of that?
Wang Shouren still looked at him with that same smiling expression.
"Mr. Andrei, it seems you don't intend to stay?"
“Yes.” Andrei was also a straightforward person: “I don’t want to leave…”
Before he could finish speaking, Wang Shouren interrupted him: "If you don't want to stay, then I will tell General Boris that you didn't speak up for him during the negotiations just now. In fact, this information is extremely important to us. However, you concealed it, and as for why you concealed it, I don't know. I thought about it, and my conscience bothered me. I feel that I can't keep this from Mr. Boris like this, so I'll tell him."
