Edwin laughed. "From the time they find out to the time they deploy their personnel...it takes time."
After they have arranged the manpower and I have finished talking with Fu Chenan, it doesn't matter whether they come or not.
Edwin pointed to the plainclothes security guards outside and said, "Are they all your people?"
Fu Chenan nodded without explaining.
Edwin looked at Fu Chenan sincerely and repeated his theory of profit-first.
"...Look, it's your right to deal with your things as you wish..."
"As long as you and I are willing, what's wrong with that?"
Fu Chenan nodded: "If the country does not allow transactions, and I give you something but you can't take it away, what should I do?"
Edwin smiled mysteriously: "As long as you give me the things, I will find a way to take them away."
"What if I don't sell it to you for safety reasons?"
This time, Edwin smiled playfully: "I personally won't do anything, but you Chinese have a saying: A gentleman is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure..."
Edwin didn't say anything else, but Fu Chenan understood.
The organization behind him will not let Fu Chenan and his family go.
Fu Chenan's face sank.
"Do you think you and the people behind you can get what you want in this way?"
Edwin shrugged and spread his hands: "Mr. Fu, you have to know that for the sake of profit, many people have no bottom line."
"If you won't suffer any loss by cooperating with us, why would you choose to push us to the opposite side?"
"There is a saying in your country that you must have heard: There are thieves who can steal for a thousand days, but there are no thieves who can guard against thieves for a thousand days."
"Besides, science has no borders. Isn't it good to let the world's science and technology flourish?"
Fu Chenan nodded slowly, and suddenly changed the subject: "I heard that Mr. Edwin is also a leading materials scientist in NG Laboratory?"
Edwin nodded confidently: "Of course."
"In the field of materials science, are you at the top level?"
Edwin continued to nod: "Last year, Science magazine ranked me first in the field of high-tech materials research."
"The fact that I can come here in person this time is also a sign of my sincerity."
Fu Chenan sighed and suddenly took out a piece of silver cloth from his trouser pocket.
"I think you are right. Science has no borders. We should allow science and technology to flourish all over the world."
Edwin raised his eyebrows and looked at Fu Chenan in surprise.
Fu Chenan raised his hand, motioning him to take it: "Here you go! What? You don't want it?"
Edwin woke up as if from a dream and hurriedly took it.
As soon as he got it, Edwin felt the difference.
What does this feel like?
Silky, soft, cool...
He had never come across this kind of material before.
His heart beat faster and he couldn't wait to take this thing to the laboratory for various tests, inspections and analyses, but Fu Chenan dropped another bombshell.
"This new fabric is amazingly waterproof, fireproof, heat-insulating, and electrical-resistant... and its strength is amazing!"
"Its various data are..."
As Fu Chenan spit out a series of data, Edwin's eyes almost popped out of his sockets!
"Mr. Fu, are you telling the truth?"
As a scientist, no one knows the pros and cons of this data better than he does.
He was so excited that he got goose bumps all over his body just thinking about the broad development potential of these data for subsequent technological development and people's daily life!
This is such a big surprise!
Fu Chenan suddenly took action and snatched the thing from Edwin's hand.
He solemnly folded the silver cloth and stuffed it into a red velvet bag, then tightened the drawstring and stuffed it into his trouser pocket.
"The data doesn't count for me. I'm not a scientist."
“You just need to say whether you want to buy it or not?”
Edwin didn't think twice: "Buy it!"
Fu Chenan looked directly at Edwin: "10 billion US dollars."
Edwin was stunned for a moment before he realized that Fu Chenan was making an offer.
If the data of this thing is really as amazing as Fu Chenan said, even 10 billion US dollars can be easily earned back...
He recalled the feel of the silver cloth, his heartbeat quickened again, and he nodded decisively: "Give me your account number, and I'll ask someone to transfer the money right away."
Fu Chenan handed over a business card.
Edwin glanced at the bank card number on the business card, nodded and started dialing.
Edwin spoke English very quickly. Fu Chenan didn't understand English anyway, so he said nothing and just waited patiently.
Soon Edwin finished the call, and Fu Chenan's phone dinged. He opened his phone and took a look, and the amount had arrived.
Fu Chenan nodded slightly, took out the velvet bag from his pocket and placed it solemnly in Edwin's hand.
“Happy trading.”
Edwin nodded, picked up the bag, opened the drawstring, and took a look at the fabric inside.
It was indeed the silver cloth that he had just seen.
He was relieved, picked up the cloth and walked out: "Then Mr. Fu, we will see you later!"
“I believe that through this initial transaction, we will be able to build more trust and have more cooperation in the future…”
Fu Chenan responded from behind: "Okay!"
Of course Edwin was anxious: he entered the country under an alias, but an hour had passed since he entered the country.
If his true identity is discovered by the relevant departments and he is detained, he will be in trouble...
As long as you walk out of the courtyard, there will be someone outside to meet you. As long as you hand the red velvet bag to the other party, you can easily leave the country.
Unexpectedly, before I walked out of the backyard, seven or eight people came running towards me.
Edwin was so frightened that he stood there in a daze: Honey trap?!
The other party stopped Edwin directly: "Mr. Edwin, someone reported that you are suspected of committing a crime. Please come with us..."
Edwin glanced at the camera in the other person's hand and of course denied it.
He pointed to the reception room he had just walked out of: "I have not committed any crime. I was just doing business with Mr. Fu. He and I have reached a deal..."
The leader pointed to the reception room ten meters away and said, "You mean, Mr. Fu, the one you are doing business with, is in there?"
Edwin nodded.
"Will you please come with us?"
Of course Edwin had no choice but to follow.
The group walked into the reception room in a mighty procession, and Fu Chenan was indeed sitting on the sofa drinking tea.
Seeing Edwin and his men coming in, Fu Chenan stood up in surprise: "What are you doing..."
The leader explained the matter again, and then asked Fu Chenan: "Mr. Fu, have you lost anything valuable?"
Fu Chenan shook his head, looking slightly panicked: "No..."
Those people seemed to not believe it and began to search Fu Chenan.
Fu Chenan's trouser pockets were turned out and there was nothing inside.
Then they began to search Edwin.
The red velvet bag on Edwin was searched out, and both Edwin and Fu Chenan's faces suddenly looked grim.
Was he caught in the act?
Should I be shot for something like this?
The leader held up the red velvet bag and asked, "What's in it?"
Fu Chenan pursed his lips and answered honestly: "It is a material that is not yet available on the market. I sold it to him."
Edwin put his hands over his face: It's over. This time we are in big trouble.
But who knew that the man took out the silver cloth, looked at it over and over again, but did not arrest the man immediately. Instead, he asked Edwin: "Is what he said true?"
Edwin looked at the glittering silver cloth: Should I say it's real? Or should I say it's fake?
Edwin's silence prompted the other party to ask another question.
Edwin had no choice but to nod: "Yes...it's true."
The leader confirmed: "Is this the piece of cloth?"
Edwin nodded: "It's this piece of cloth."
The leader still didn't believe it, so he had the entire reception room searched thoroughly, and only after making sure there were no other suspicious items did he nod.
"We don't care about your transaction this time. We are looking for you because you are suspected of a technical crime... You need to cooperate with our investigation."
Edwin was stunned, and then seemed to think of something: "If I...if I want to stay and cooperate with the investigation, can I let my companion take this cloth away first?"
"This fabric is from our current transaction, so it should have nothing to do with the previous one?"
The leader thought about it and said, "Okay."
Edwin didn't care about anything else. Under the escort of a group of people, he gave the cloth to the person outside the door. The man took the cloth and ran away.
Edwin's heart was at peace.
Although he did something, where is the evidence?
Sure enough, after some investigation, Edwin was released.
As soon as he got his phone and turned it on, he received a call. A roar came from the other end of the phone: "Edwin, what the hell did you buy?"
"You spent 10 billion US dollars on this thing?" (End of this chapter)
