At this moment, Su Wu began to doubt his own life.
He even wondered whether Meikuzi came to buy the formula or to learn from her.
This girl, who was almost obsessed with hacking, clearly wasn't interested in any trading; she was there to learn the technology.
However, the learning process was a bit tortuous, which made Su Wu feel that it was a bit hard on his kidneys.
After some discussion about 0 and 1, Meikuzi finally gave up on asking for more advice after gaining some insights.
At this point, the sample comparison results also came out, and the formula was almost perfect.
Feeling a bit bored, Meikuzi tossed aside the comparison data in her hand and looked at Su Wu.
"Lord Su Wu, the price I negotiated for you is $200 million, which is the limit the Yamaguchi Group can offer."
"If we didn't want to always be led by the nose by the United States, we wouldn't be able to offer such a price, so we hope you understand."
Su Wu nodded in agreement.
It's normal for this inherently rebellious people to have such thoughts.
Nobody wants someone to be constantly taking advantage of them.
Of course, they also have an even greater advantage: they obey the strong.
It's clear that Meikuzi played a significant role in securing the $200 million deal.
Meikuzi smiled and said, "Since you said you have the formula, I assume you've already started production? How's it going?"
"It's better than I expected, after all, our costs are lower," Su Wu said with a smile.
"So, do you still plan to sell the formula you have?" Mikuko asked again.
Su Wu nodded. "Yes, I believe that cola should belong to the world."
"This could be detrimental to your future export business," Meikuzi warned.
"I've never considered exporting anything; our Dragon Kingdom has a large enough market," Su Wu said confidently.
“Okay, if that’s the case, I’d like to help you connect with some buyers, after all, the reputation and standing of our Yamaguchi-sha speak for themselves.”
Meiku smiled confidently, then licked her lips with a hint of amusement.
Su Wu shuddered. This iron pestle was practically being ground into a needle; it was beyond repair.
His lips twitched as he asked, "What do you want?"
"Your hacking skills are beyond my comprehension. Please let me follow in your footsteps, Lord Su Wu!" Mei Kuzi said earnestly.
“Okay, you can ask me any questions at any time, but I will not participate in any underground activities.” Su Wu nodded seriously.
"Are you a legitimate hacker? I really don't know where you got your skills from." Meikuzi smiled at him.
Su Wu smiled bitterly upon hearing this. He had done many bad things in his previous life, and he did not want to repeat the same mistakes in this life.
Of course, he might be interested if it meant retaliating against the United States.
At this moment, Meikuzi turned the laptop around.
"Alright, Lord Su Wu, the transfer is complete. Please provide the complete recipe."
Su Wu glanced at it, then picked up a pen and paper and began to write rapidly.
Ten minutes later, an A4 sheet of paper was filled with ingredients and mixing ratios.
Meikuzi exclaimed in surprise, "You've memorized all the recipes?"
“Isn’t this the safest way?” Su Wu shrugged.
For the Yamaguchi-gumi, exchanging $200 million for a Coca-Cola formula is definitely a worthwhile deal.
Unfortunately, they dare not sell this formula internationally, as that would only bring them endless trouble.
Similarly, they didn't want to provoke a top-tier hacker like Su Wu, as that would cause considerable trouble.
That's why Su Wu dared to sell it like that.
Once his status as a top hacker is confirmed, no one will dare to ignore him.
Only he can earn the money from this recipe.
He didn't care about the reaction from the United States.
This is one of the reasons why Meikuzi admires Su Wu.
Su Wu's actions were undoubtedly insane and unimaginable.
After finishing the business, Miko smiled and said, "Yamaguchi Society has kept this deal a secret, but we hope to cooperate with you for a long time."
“Sure, I also really need the Yamaguchi-gumi’s help,” Su Wu said with a smile.
"So, Lord Su Wu, is there anything Meikuzi can do for you now?"
Meikuzi giggled and stepped forward, like an elegant cat.
Su Wu shuddered and quickly spoke.
"I need the latest high-capacity beverage bottling line. More importantly, I need a complete 130-nanometer chip production line."
Meiku stopped what she was doing and took out her phone with some regret.
She chattered on and on for a few minutes before hanging up.
"Lord Su Wu, beverage bottling production lines are easy to acquire. One production line can fill 20,000 bottles per hour. A 70% new piece of equipment costs 1.5 million Dragon Coins. If you purchase multiple lines in a package, the price can be reduced to as low as 1 million, but you will need to purchase 8 lines."
Su Wu knew that this was already a very cheap price; purchasing eight production lines with a capacity of 20,000 bottles each for 8 million was a good deal.
But he also knew that this was just the price of the equipment, and the shipping cost hadn't been calculated yet.
He couldn't help but ask, "If we pack eight together, how much will the shipping cost be?"
“2 million dragon coins is already very cheap,” Meikuzi shrugged.
Bringing all 8 production lines back to the Dragon Kingdom would cost 10 million Dragon Coins.
This price is definitely not expensive; it's a truly friendly price.
Even though Su Wu only received 200 million US dollars, he still felt a pang of regret.
He couldn't help but ask, "What about the chip production line?"
“A complete set of equipment that is 70% new would cost $1.2 billion, and that’s already the lowest price,” Meikuzi said, shrugging.
Su Wu was so poor that he had to sell the Coca-Cola formula; she didn't think he could afford it.
This price was indeed somewhat beyond Su Wu's expectations; it was simply outrageously expensive.
However, considering it's only 2001, it's not hard to understand why prices would be like this.
It seems his plan to build a chip factory will have to be postponed indefinitely; selling formulas may not be enough.
Knowing that 90-nanometer chip technology would be developed in 2006, he had a few more years to prepare.
If he can implement his plan two years in advance, he will have a chance to catch up with the times.
Since raising $1.2 billion is difficult, there's no need to hoard money excessively.
Having figured out the key point, Su Wu shrugged helplessly, "I'll take the beverage bottling production line as a package, arrange it for me as soon as possible. Also, recommend a few buyers who are interested in the formula."
As the two talked, Mikoko curled up in his arms like a kitten.
She nodded slightly. "I'll make arrangements as soon as I get back to China. I won't be staying here long, so please spend more time with me."
Did you grow up without a father?
How do you know my dad died young?
"Because I don't have a father either."
Su Wu tightened his grip on her arm; he finally understood what that strange feeling was about Mei Kuzi.
It was a complex feeling of insecurity and disorientation, something he had experienced before.
Gently stroking his hair, Su Wu whispered, "If needed, I wouldn't mind playing the role of your father."
