"Mr. Benjamin, you are finally here."

Not long after resting in the reception room, Benjamin came. He had a kind smile on his face as always, making it impossible to guess how he was feeling now.

Of course, I couldn't tell what happened just now.

"I have a little business, so I took a detour on the road... Presumably this is Professor Watanabe Jiro, who is well-known in the field of biology, right? I am very honored to have you here."

Benjamin smiled and hugged Jiro Watanabe, then sat down beside him. [

"Sorry, Mr. Benjamin, I couldn't convince Watanabe-kun. He was already tired of research work, so he wanted to retire and insisted on returning to the life of ordinary people."

"Why do you do this? Mr. Watanabe?" Benjamin took out a cigar from his pocket and handed it to Jiro Watanabe. Jiro Watanabe waved his hand, so Benjamin smoked it himself: "Unfortunately, this is a good thing... You know that I will not treat you badly, what treatment Fujiwara Mantaro gives you, I can even give you better than him, let you focus on your research work, isn't it good?"

Jiro Watanabe lowered his head respectfully, with the most common image of a Sun Countryman, even after hearing Benjamin's conditions, he did not show any abnormality.

He said: "I admit, Mr. Benjamin, the conditions you have given are very generous, but unfortunately, I have worked in this industry for long enough. I am now in my 40s, and my life has almost passed halfway." Well, if my future life continues to be spent on research, I feel that my life is a waste of time, and I have not enjoyed the beauty of life at all. There are still many beautiful places in this world, and I want to go there in my lifetime Going all over the world, enjoying life to the fullest, not in a little lab—although the beauty of experimentation is fascinating, you only live once, and I don't want to go on like this."

In all honesty, Watanabe Jiro's words are very realistic and highly credible, but Benjamin has been working hard in the business for so many years and has already become a giant. How can it be so easy to believe his words?So he just smiled and didn't reply to Jiro Watanabe immediately.

The room was quiet for a moment. Benjamin took a leisurely puff of his cigar, enjoying the pleasure of the aroma of tobacco spreading in his mouth. He carefully sorted out the information he had obtained recently, and then planned to find out the truth about Jiro Watanabe. Purpose.

"I heard that Fujiwara Mantaro died two days ago?"

Benjamin suddenly shifted the topic to Mantaro Fujiwara.

Watanabe Jiro was taken aback, and then replied very calmly: "Yes, I only found out about it this morning after reading the news reports... As a former employee, I regret this, but I know what you want to say, Benjamin Sir, this matter has nothing to do with me, and my sudden withdrawal has nothing to do with it."

"Well, as a friend, Mantaro Fujiwara is quite qualified. I am very sorry to hear the news of his death."

Benjamin nodded noncommittally, and then continued to puff.

After all, Jiro Watanabe was just a researcher, and his patience and skills were far inferior to financial predators. Seeing that Benjamin hadn't opened a deal, he couldn't sit still.

"Mr. Benjamin, do you think our transaction can start?"

"Trading... Oh, yes, trading, I'm very interested in your things. Of course, you must ensure that they are real things."

"Of course, this is the research results and records of our laboratory for many years. It can save Mr. Ryan a lot of detours and save a lot of money and time at work. Is this what you want to see?"

"Yes."

"These things have no meaning to my future life, and they are only kept as a souvenir, so if you are interested, I am willing to transfer them to you who need them more, as long as you give them a suitable price. "

Benjamin lightly cuffed his cigar, his old face looked hazy in the dense smoke.

"Say your price." [

Seeing that Benjamin was moved, Watanabe Jiro was slightly excited, and he said in a deep voice, "One billion, eagle coins."

"Chi...cough, cough cough..."

Benjamin laughed suddenly. Because the laugh was so sudden, he coughed. He put out his cigar, took a sip from his water glass, and after taking a breath, he looked at Jiro Watanabe with a smile on his face: "Mr. Watanabe, Do you really think that I am old and confused? These documents, you ask me for one billion? To be honest, I don’t even want to come up with one billion.”

"These things are definitely worth one billion! Even from a research point of view, their value is inestimable, and the value of tens of billions is not an exaggeration!"

Hearing that Benjamin was unwilling to pay even [-] million yuan, Jiro Watanabe became impatient: "There is a research manuscript of Shuichi Fengyin in it! You are so interested in prolonging life, you should know him, right? The most outstanding bioengineer back then Scientist, if he hadn’t died so early, maybe the lifespan of human beings would have been increased by ten or a hundred times!”

"Fengyin Xiuyi, I have heard it, of course I have. It was only after I read his paper that I had the urge to establish a research laboratory and finally put it into action. His manuscript is indeed valuable, but I suspect that The most important thing is your research results, these added values ​​are not worth so much, right?"

Benjamin is a shrewd businessman, he won't waste his money on buying some effective experimental data, even though those things are indeed useful, and he also knows that they are valuable.

But which businessman would mind if the purchase price becomes cheaper?Negotiation and bargaining are the most basic business behaviors, which is his instinct, but for Watanabe Jiro, it is not.

"Mr. Benjamin, you are denying the results of our research team! The results of my laboratory are the most advanced in the world! This is beyond doubt!" Jiro Akira Watanabe, who was questioned about his research results Agitated, he stood up suddenly: "[-] million! This is my bottom line price. If Mr. Benjamin is not willing, then I have to find someone else. I just know that there are still many research laboratories in this world that are working on Research work in this area!"

Benjamin frowned slightly, Jiro Watanabe's stubbornness was beyond his expectations, but when he thought that he was a native of the Sun Country, he suddenly felt puzzled.

But he, his bottom line has been exposed, and the next thing to consider is the details.

It was just a small temptation to save [-] million for himself, and Benjamin was quite happy in his heart.

"Don't get excited, Mr. Watanabe, I understand your thoughts, I respect your research results, so I am willing to buy these materials, but, you know, I am a businessman, and businessmen never do business at a loss. I can't confirm the authenticity of your materials, so let me pay [-] million, in case what I buy back is some waste paper... Isn't it a bit embarrassing?"

"I can guarantee the authenticity of the information. I swear in my name. You can also ask Mr. Ryan to read it for you. If you don't even believe Mr. Ryan, then I can only regretfully give up this transaction."

Watanabe Jiro finally endured the anger in his heart, and sat back on the sofa again.

"In that case, let Ryan take a look."

Benjamin nodded slightly, and signaled Ryan to take a look at those things. He wondered if Ryan and Jiro Watanabe had partnered to blackmail his money. After all, he didn't know much about research, and the two of them cheated together. It's not that there is no possibility of oneself.

In the end, however, the desire for immortality overcame doubts.

Watanabe Jiro took out a few sheets of paper from the suitcase and handed them to Ryan: "This is just a data record of an experiment. If you don't have the information I provided, you will waste at least five months if you try, but with these Information, you can save a full five months of time. I believe that what Mr. Benjamin needs most now is time, right? [-] million, saving more than ten years of detours in research is not an unacceptable price for you. "

Benjamin had to admit that what Jiro Watanabe said had hit his weakness. As an old man, he knew very well that his time was running out. If there was no progress in the research lab, he might have to start making other plans.

Ryan took the data and looked at it carefully, with an uncertain expression on his face.

"How is it, Ryan?" [

"Sir," Ryan took a deep breath, raised his head, and forced a smile, "I have to admit that Mr. Watanabe's laboratory is indeed far ahead of us in terms of progress. This experiment...was still in our conception. Among them, if there is no accident, the funding and staffing of the entire laboratory will be tilted in this direction in the second half of the year. If there is no information from Mr. Watanabe, I am afraid that we will have to work hard for another half a year. After reading Mr. Watanabe With this information, after I go back, I need to immediately change the next work arrangement.”

Benjamin's complexion suddenly became very bad. He didn't expect Watanabe Jiro to just randomly take out a piece of material, which would be so valuable.

"Before our transaction even started, I have already saved you half a year's time. Mr. Benjamin, my sincerity has already been shown, so what about yours?"

Watanabe Jiro looked at Benjamin.

Benjamin sat there quietly, tapping his fingers on the table lightly, as if thinking about it in his heart.

He has already been tempted, because the value of this information to him has exceeded his imagination. In most cases, money can't buy time.

"Okay, [-] million, trade immediately."

Benjamin finally made up his mind and extended his hand to Jiro Watanabe.

The anxious Jiro Watanabe finally relaxed and shook hands with Benjamin.

"Believe me, Mr. Benjamin, you will not regret it."

(A new month, if there are no mistakes, this month will be finished? Probably...Although it is the last month, but as usual, I still ask for a monthly pass, at least the last month is enjoyable...)
