The saying "every coin has two sides" applies here. These things are actually quite valuable to Xu Shi and his team, especially at this crucial juncture in their research on superpower transplantation. They can provide a lot of unexpected research value, as evidenced by how interested Jiang Chengcheng and Xie Qingyan are in them...
"...It's reasonable."
After a moment's thought, Cheng Gujian stood up and extended his hand to him.
Anyway, this deal was worthwhile, at least for him; it was a win-win situation.
He was well aware of the subtext of Xu Shi's words "things may change in the future"—this kind of deal wouldn't be a one-off transaction. For example, Xu Shi might be providing him with a first-generation weapon on the surface, but he'd be providing him with a second-generation one. Once the trade route is established, he could bring in a third-generation weapon, which would create a new cycle.
Then he can put the second-generation weapon on the table, and with a little embellishment, he can say that he got it through his own efforts. Not only will he always be one step ahead of others, but he will also gain more merit.
Xu Shi shook hands with him firmly, which meant the deal was done. There was no need to worry about anyone breaking the contract, as everyone had ways to preserve evidence.
"Calling you Envoy Xu all the time sounds a bit awkward. I'm a few years older than you, so if you don't mind, I'll call you Brother Xu."
Cheng Gujian was in a great mood and took the initiative to say this.
"Of course, no problem, Brother Cheng."
Xu Shi didn't object at all; wouldn't that mean he'd make new friends?
"Would you like a drink? I have some very good vintage wines here."
Cheng Gujian turned around and grabbed three wine glasses. "Would you like some, sister-in-law?"
"I'm not a good drinker, so there's nothing shameful about it."
Xu Shi politely declined, saying, "Rather than drinking, I have a question I'd like to ask you, Brother Cheng."
"you say?"
"Could you tell me more about 'Poseidon'?"
I'm updating a little earlier today because I'm going out of town...
Xu Shi: You don't need to tell me what happens if you become my brother, right? What, Pan Cheng? Both of his daughters are in my hands…
