Help all mankind

The cautious old man made a request to visit the high-tech company that Liang Shicheng called before he was willing to pay $3 billion.

This is a reasonable request, but it is something Liang Shicheng has been trying to avoid because he does not have his own black technology company yet.

It is not so easy to get this money, and a suitable reason must be found to respond to this request.

However, all of this was in Liang Shicheng’s expectation. He had already figured out a coping strategy on his way here.

"To be honest, it is not possible now.

Because I’m not representing our company, I’m representing the interests of the company’s R&D department, including this negotiation is only the private idea of ​​the R&D department, and the board of directors does not know..."

Liang Shicheng was not confident about the reason he had fabricated, but it was the only reasonable argument he could think of, so he became nervous.

But when the translator briefly conveyed his meaning, the old man with white beard laughed, clapped his hands and said:

"In other words, your R&D department concealed the R&D progress from shareholders? Very good. This style is very intel."

Upon seeing this, the surrounding representatives coughed a few times to remind the old man with white beard to pay attention to his identity and image.

As if it did not arouse the other party's suspicion, Liang Shicheng breathed a sigh of relief and continued to add:

"In short, I don't want you to go to our shareholders to discuss the acquisition after knowing the company's information.

So in the email, I communicate with you anonymously.

This is our bottom line, that is, you cannot be brutally acquired by you, and don't try to find the company's registered name through me.

If we have reached that point, we still have the last weapon, which is to go public. In this case, we will not be short of money, but this also means that all the company’s projects must be disclosed to the public, including synthetic diamond technology, to At that time the situation is irreversible.

It is not the best choice for both of us.

In addition, as the negotiator of that company, I actually didn't work for that company. I was just commissioned by my friends. Every word I said was arranged by them. I was just a microphone."

As the translator relayed this passage, the old man with white beard kept a mysterious smile and looked directly at Liang Shicheng with an oppressive temperament, which made him somewhat vain.

Liang Shicheng didn't know what the other party was thinking at the moment, but he could see the attribute value on each of them. However, relying on the current attribute value alone can only know their work efficiency and cannot peek inside.

He thought that if one day he could see other new attributes and judge the other party's ideas from them, he would have an advantage when negotiating, and now he is a novice with no business experience.

In order not to show his feet, Liang Shicheng intends to lower the negotiation conditions and end this topic as soon as possible.

"Money matters can be paid in installments, you see."

After the old man with white beard was silent for a while, he proposed a new solution.

Although he is unwilling to pay 3 billion US dollars at a time, he can accept 300 million US dollars every year. This year's money can be paid immediately, but Liang Shicheng will have to disclose his company information to De Beers from next year. At the same time, it is necessary to announce its new research projects to prove that the company has focused on new technologies, and that with price changes in the future, future money can continue to rise.

Faced with this new plan, Liang Shicheng decisively accepted it.

In fact, as the head of the company, the white-bearded old man has never doubted Liang Shicheng's identity since he saw the sample of the rough diamond.

What he has been thinking about is another thing. Compared with the one-time payment of 300 million US dollars a year, De Beers will actually pay more in the future, which means he doesn’t care about it now. How much money will I ultimately spend, but hope to bind the black technology company for a long time and establish a long-term relationship.

Liang Shicheng has a longer-term plan. He wants more than money, so he puts forward another condition.

"This is fine, I can accept it, but you have to be more active on other issues.

You also know that because of the Wassenaar Agreement, many good technologies from Europe cannot be sold to my country.

I hope you can also help with this issue. This is the focus of this cooperation.

You are not required to achieve any goals, but as long as you do your best to help."

Hearing this, the old man with white beard looked at the other representatives around, saw no objection, and then readily agreed.

Although this additional condition proposed by Liang Shicheng may be more risky to implement in the future, it can increase the mutual dependence of the two parties and even indirectly guide the development and research direction of the black technology company.

Besides, as for the Wassenaar Agreement or something, it actually depends on the relationship. If it is Japan and South Korea, it will be severely punished, but if it is the United Kingdom and the United States, it will be dealt with quickly.

The white-bearded old man’s self-confidence on this issue is not without reason. They have been engaged in “blood diamond” transactions that violate human nature for a long time in Africa. They naturally have inextricable relationships with the high-level military and are well aware of various smuggling channels.

In the end, after negotiation, Liang Shicheng got a fairly satisfactory result, which is also acceptable to De Beers. In the future, Liang Shicheng will have a year to establish a black technology company.

After the negotiation ended smoothly, the next thing to consider is the payment method. In order to receive the money, Liang Shicheng had been prepared for a long time. If a huge sum of US$300 million is transferred directly from De Beers to his account I am afraid it will arouse suspicion from relevant departments.

So he thought of a safe way. Liang Shicheng had made some inventions before and applied for patents. In the end, no one cared about it. He didn't even get the money back when he applied for the patent. But now it will come in handy.

Before he came to London, he copied the front pages of these patents early, with key information such as patent numbers on them.

Then he handed a stack of such documents to the representatives present, asking them to pay royalties for the patents appearing on the documents, in this way to legally transfer the US$300 million.

After getting on the plane home, Liang Shicheng's nervous heart finally relaxed, and he was done. He used a rough diamond with an abnormal shape that failed to transmit to win another life for himself, and maximized its value. The rough diamond is still in his hands.

It took less than a day to return home smoothly, Liang Shicheng began to plan how to use the 300 million US dollars, and suddenly a thought appeared in his mind.

He turned on the computer and started searching the Internet for information about the company he was in.

Sitting in front of the table, Liang Shicheng no longer had the remorse he had at the time. Now it can be said that it was a blessing in disguise, and things are moving in a better direction than he expected.

At this moment, the initiator of all this, the cat appeared next to Liang Shicheng's window.

Liang Shicheng immediately opened the window and let it in, then he took out his mobile phone and dialed a number that had been hidden in the phone book for a long time.

"Hey, is it the wife of the pet shop?"

"Ah? Are you? Oh, I remember, are you the one who used to visit the store to watch cats?

Are you ready to raise it now?Which one did you see?"

"I already have a cat. I want to buy some cat food, cat litter, litter box, and other toys from you. Please help me choose some according to the situation.

By the way, the chicken strips that the puppet liked the most last time also bring me a pack."
