Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 716: Getting Rich or Dying Trying
Man will die for riches as bird for food as the old saying goes.
In Xie Zhiqiang's eyes, wealth was ranked second in his top priority, and his small life was ranked first. He could kill his parents, kill his wife and children, and commit all sorts of crimes for money. His motto in life is: whoever dares to block the source of my money must die.
And this time, there were over a dozen weapons aimed at him. His life will be claimed in an instant as long as one of them pulls the trigger. However, at this moment of crisis, she was not afraid at all, as she sat on a comfortable sofa and even gestured for the four men behind her to put down the weapons, she said, while letting out a smiling face towards the caucasian-skinned foreign man in front of him.
“Don't blame me for overwriting the starting price, Brother Cole. The genetic drug particles developed from our research cooperation are too valuable. Our previous agreement did state that you would pay me 200 million USD after the research on this gene particle was done, and it also stated that you would take the gene particle along with the research data. But, you also know that the time spent researching this genetic drug is much longer than expected. You gave up on giving me more of the extra funds needed in the last two years, so I got all my own money. So, this is 1 billion USD. One penny less and you will never take it. Tell your men to shoot me if you dare. My death is just a trivial thing, but you will never get that gene particle. Xie Zhiqiang touched his chin and said with a smile.
The tall and large Austin Cole was filled with momentum and killing intent. When he wanted to kill someone, he would usually pinch the button on the bottom of his clothes. However, at this moment, his fingers were tied to her. He had met many greedy, but no one dared to override the initial price agreement with him.
However, he knew very well that Xie Zhiqiang and his BUMN Big Boss had a very deep friendship because this man had once saved him. If he were to kill this person, although his Great Boss would not be angry over him directly, he could expect ill treatment from him in the future.
However, 1 billion USD is not the price he can bear.
“Xie, SOEs have had internal problems in the last two years. I'm sure you should have heard something about that. We invest all of our funds into large projects, so we cannot provide the funds you need on time. That was our mistake. But, 1 billion USD is too much. Let alone me, even Boss himself would not agree to it. Our point is 300 million USD. Or you may choose to become our enemy if you do not agree. ”
Hmph ,300 million USD, eh?” Xie Zhiqiang coldly smile . " Hmph , 300 million USD, right?" Xie Zhiqiang coldly smiled. “Do you consider me a beggar? The total amount of capital I invested in this project over the past two years amounted to almost 200 million USD, as I had to import tons of research materials from different countries of the world. You should know something called nanobots, right? Just to get these items, I sent my men to some secret research labs belonging to the United States in Africa. Do you know how much I lost? Of the 40 true-blooded battle experts I sent there, 27 of them died, while 4 of the remaining 13 who escaped with the nanobots became disabled.
“After all, do you know where I got the information about that lab from? I spent 25 million USD to buy it from Darkwind Organization. However, you increased the price by only 100 million? HELLO??? You got the courage for my bullshit? "
Austin Cole was silent. He could not be sure whether what Xie Zhiqiang said was true or not, but breaking the contract was indeed their fault. It has been eight years since they began joint research and, while its SOE company has invested a total of 480 million USD for the first six years, there has been no substantial progress in research. Therefore, just as they gave up on the plan, they suddenly caught the news that the test was working.
It's a gene particle! Something he had to get by all means. Once they get these gene particles, they can change the bodies of ordinary people, creating a group of mutated gene experts. Although SOE companies have their own armed forces, the gap between them and the top armed forces in the world is like a chasm.
“500 million dollars, this is my point. ”
Finally, Austin Cole could only choose to compromise and instantly add 200 million USD. It was also the highest price allowed to offer.
“As I said, I want 1 billion, not a little. Otherwise, I will not sell these gene particles to your SOE company. "Xie Zhiqiang shook his head. "In addition, I'm pretty sure that once I sell the gene particles to other foreign great powers there will be countless powers willing to bid for a higher price. ”
"DO YOU MAKE ME?" Raung Austine Cole was furious.
"You have that right . I did force you, ” Xie Zhiqiang said. "Take it and we agree. Let it go and we separate. This place is China. You may have brought many men with you, but wanting to kill me will not be easy. In addition, it is uncertain whether you can leave the Chinese border as well. ”
Those who threatened me are all dead!
Austin Cole did not say it out loud but said it three times inside. He could only endure and use patience, because the purpose of SOE companies was to prepare a large number of powerful genetic fighters who would eventually double the armed forces under the company by ten times.
As he took out the Cuban cigar, a middle-aged man lit it for him. After taking a few puffs, he waved his hand, gesturing for his men to lower their weapons. He then looked at Xie Zhiqiang and said nonchalantly, “I am only authorized to pay 500 million dollars, so I need to call the Boss about the matter and ask his decision. ”
"I can only give you three days. "Xie Zhiqiang shrugged and grinned. “No reply in three days and the documents in the mailbox will automatically send the file. At that time, there will be at least 20 top troops in the world who will send their people to China to discuss a business deal with me. ”
Austin Cole subconsciously glanced at the button under his clothes and nodded with a cold expression, before he got up and left.
After half a minute, a girl with thick makeup and an exciting and attractive figure pulled out of the next room. There was a sharp butterfly knife in his hand as he played and played it up and down, creating an image of a blooming flower.
"Tell me, do you really want money so much that you're not even afraid to make Austin Cole really angry?" Ask the girl with a smile. "You also know his notorious reputation for being ruthless and merciless, don't you?"
"What are you going to do after this BUMN Big Boss talks about his work?" Ask the girl with a smile.
Fear appeared in Xie Zhiqiang's eyes. After a long silence, he slowly said, “I know a little about his character. He would definitely not make things worse if this matter could be solved with money. Of course, I would have to sell it to him if he wanted to thicken his face and buy it for 500 million USD anyway. In any case, the gene particles are very unlikely to be sold for just one group, so help me observe and check some contacts; it is necessary to find two other rich clients. ”
The girl squinted her eyes and asked with a faint smile, “Are you not afraid that everyone will know that you have a gene particle in your hand? You will have a lot of strength staring at you then. ”
"Why should I?" Xie Zhiqiang grinned. "I'll hand the gene particle formula over to the state after selling to some of them. Do you think the country will let me go at that point? "
"…" The girl gave her thumbs up, and praise covered her thick face.

Paradise Manor's.
Tang Xiu sat in the living room of the building where Ouyang Lulu usually stayed, looking at Ji Mu's gifts. As he fiddled with the strings, the melodious sound of the zither gave off a feeling like a big party. Ouyang Lulu, who was sitting cross-legged in front of the small tea table at the side, was now fully concentrated on making tea.
"Ji Mu here, Boss. "Mo Awu came in front of Tang Xiu in a few steps and reported.
Tang Xiu did not speak and continued to play the entire music, and then gently waved his hand. Immediately, Ji Mu came up with a beautifully wrapped gift box, carefully placed it in front of Tang Xiu, and then stepped back two steps.
"What kind of treasure is this time?" Tang Xiu pointed to the expressionless gift box.
"I don't know either. "Ji Mu shook his head. “When I said goodbye to Grandma two hours ago, she told me to take this and give it to you. ”
Tang Xiu pointed to the sofa on the opposite side. After Ji Mu sat down, he then asked, "Tell me! What is your real purpose? ”
Ji Mu had already made up his mind and cleared his mind before, but he was still a little panicked at the moment. However, he suppressed his mood and increased his courage, saying, “I've always wanted to be an extraordinary man, a superman, or a man with mystical powers. As you do in Laoshan, set up clouds and ride the mist while controlling flying swords to kill your enemies. ”
Tang Xiu suddenly looked up. His eyes were cold and filled with killing intent, as he then said in a cold voice, "Are you there then?"
Ji Mu felt a chill on his back as Tang Xiu looked at him. He suddenly felt like he was being watched by a savage beast, as if this beast would swallow him at any moment.
“Yes, I'm near here. "Maintaining himself, Ji Mu nodded.
"Who else but you saw it?" Tang Xiu asked indifferently. "Also, did you tell anyone else about this?"
Ji Mu shook his head and said, “There is no one else besides me. I realized that I could not easily reveal this matter, so I did not tell anyone about it. ”
. Hmc . Tang Xiu let out a cold snort and said, "With this answer, aren't you afraid that I will kill you, in order to avoid endless trouble later on?"
"It was something I prepared for myself," Ji Mu said in a bitter tone. “If I come back alive today, it means I made the right bet. But if I die here, it is also the price I have to pay to lose the bet, even if there are indeed many regrets left behind. Despite this, I will still accept it. ”
Tang Xiu looked at her sharply and received the fragrant tea handed over by Lulu. After taking a sip, he placed the cup on the table and untied the beautifully wrapped gift box. His expression was slightly blank after he observed the rectangular wooden box clearly.
"It's made of Growth Amelioration Wood?"
