Andrei: ...
Yuan Li, Yuan Wai, Liu Bo: ...
The silence in the room seemed deafening at that moment.
How could anyone be so shameless?
Do you want to listen to what you just said?
"Boris won't believe you; he and I are friends."
"Oh?" Wang Shouren chuckled. "Really? A friend? You left your friend here alone? Or rather, you sold your friend along with the data?"
"Tsk." Wang Shouren clapped his hands. "They really are good friends."
“Mr. Andrei, if you really don’t want to stay, you can leave now.”
Andrei found it difficult to move; he felt as if his feet were glued to the ground.
In fact, if this guy were even a little smarter, he would have realized that Wang Shouren was bluffing him. He had already gone to such lengths with Boris before, so what did it matter whether a mere Andre was right or wrong? Besides, the importance of the information depended entirely on Wang Shouren's words; if he said it was important, it was important; if he said it wasn't, it wasn't.
Boris understood this perfectly, which is why he believed Wang Shouren was trying to lower the price.
But what could he do about lowering the price? To be honest, those things were just worthless paper to him. Could he really sell them to the bald eagle? He didn't really have many options.
Blueprints are not weapons, and the number of countries that can truly accept them is no more than a handful.
No matter what, rabbits are the best partners.
Sell as many as you can. That's probably what Boris thought after being reprimanded by Wang Shouren. Some things are worth a fortune in some people's eyes, but in terms of the market, they are worthless.
Andrei was unaware of these things; he was genuinely a little scared.
Over there, he was starving. Oh, no, to be precise, he didn't want to do any other work; he just wanted to do research.
But if he leaves, where can he go? In other words, he doesn't know what to do.
"I...I..."
“Alright, let’s not leave. Hey you, Liu Bo.” Wang Shouren turned to look at Liu Bo.
"Huh? Ah..." Liu Bo was still in shock.
"Go tell Mr. Andrei about our researchers' classification. Oh, and remember to tell him about the purchasing power of our national currency. Don't let him think we don't have much money."
"Oh...oh." Liu Bo immediately went over and led Andrei aside to whisper among themselves.
Andrei and Liu Bo whispered to each other for a while, and the more he listened, the brighter his eyes became.
Actually, Andrei didn't have many requirements for his accommodation; as long as he had food and a laboratory, that would be enough. He became excited when he heard that there was a laboratory in Beijing.
Regardless of what a lab is like, it's at least a lab.
Besides, China is developing well, so staying here is also an option.
Taking the opportunity, Yuan Li went to Wang Shouren's side and asked, "Brother Shouren, how far should we go with things over there?"
"Let's buy at rock-bottom prices. We need all the good stuff, especially the advanced stuff. Oh, and we don't need to get the ordinary stuff here. We only want the most advanced stuff."
The fall of the Russian bear is not as simple as these data suggest.
Buying up the ruble at rock-bottom prices is also something he plans to do, as is acquiring those advanced research materials from the Soviet Union.
Why offer Boris such a condition, guaranteeing his safety? Isn't it all for the sake of gaining more in future cooperation? Boris dared to sell those things; once it happened, it will happen again. You can't stop this kind of thing. As time goes by, they'll become increasingly worthless. He lost money in this deal, but it doesn't matter to him.
Later, we can use rubles to bring it back all at once. But before that, let's talk to Lou Xiao'e first; the plan should begin.
"By the way, don't just take everything for your own use. Some things are better than what we make ourselves." Wang Shouren added, "You can ask for more things like gold and US dollars. But stop with rubles and the like. If you want to make money, do it now, Xiao Li. After all these years, you should know how to do it."
“Make a sum of money, and once things are settled here, that money will be enough for you to live on for ten lifetimes.”
"Okay!" Yuan Li nodded heavily.
He liked this about Brother Shouren: he never treated his own people unfairly, and they always did what they were supposed to do, so they never lost money.
Wang Shouren didn't stay there for long. He returned to Beijing with Andrei. As for the follow-up information, it would be transported to Beijing by train; he didn't need to worry about that. The important thing about this meeting with Boris was to show him their attitude. Moreover, Yuan Li and Yuan Wai weren't entirely clear about Wang Shouren's bottom line.
Most importantly, if they handled this transaction themselves, Liu Bo might end up being ripped off, which would cause considerable trouble for subsequent transactions. If even waste paper can fetch such a high price, what about other waste paper?
Wang Shouren had to personally control the price; it had to be several times higher than waste paper, but anything higher wouldn't work. It had to be at a level where it was worthwhile to handle casually, but not worth deliberately pursuing. Then, he'd provide Boris with some additional protection, so both sides would be relatively satisfied.
Wang Shouren's deal has caused an uproar among those who truly know the inside story.
The entire military headquarters was abuzz with excitement because of the arrival of Andrei and the truckload of documents.
Good heavens! Buying this stuff directly like this is unbelievable!
Wang Shouren left quickly and returned quickly, in about three days.
I just got home.
He saw Qin Jingru looking at him as if he were a monster.
"What's wrong? You've missed me after a few days?" Wang Shouren raised an eyebrow.
"Pah!" Qin Jingru spat. "Where have you been? Good heavens, our phone has been ringing off the hook these past few days."
Wang Shouren smiled. How could he not know?
Even before he returned, he knew that many people would want to know certain things.
The point isn't the items bought, but the journey from buying them to bringing them back. Does being able to buy these items this time mean we can buy even more?
"You're still laughing? Don't you have any conscience?" Qin Jingru said irritably, "I've been busy these past few days, and now that you've gone out, I'm even busier. Making phone calls wasn't enough; some people even came to our door. They insisted on leaving a gift here, and I couldn't refuse them. They're all elderly gentlemen in their seventies or eighties..."
