When Loki recovered from his daze, the waiter had already taken away the wine glass that fell to the ground. He looked at Jiang Chen, who still had a calm smile on his face, and then he smiled apologetically.
"Sorry, I was rude."
"It's okay." Jiang Chen smiled.
"That …" Luo Qi swallowed his saliva and quickly glanced around. After confirming that no one was paying attention to them, he lowered his voice and asked in a hurry, "What you just said about prolonging life … What is it?"
"In fact, this is also a technology that we have recently achieved a breakthrough in." At this point, Jiang Chen stopped talking, smiled at Loki, and turned to the small balcony of the banquet hall. It was the customary rest area. No one would disturb them standing here, and the content of the conversation would not be overheard.
After listening to Jiang Chen's words, Luo Qi paused for a second and hurried to catch up. He put the glass on the marble guardrail on the balcony, overlooking the night view outside the Hilton Hotel. Facing the night breeze, he narrowed his eyes and continued in a casual tone.
"Our researchers have found a way to extend DNA telomeres. Although the technology is still in the experimental stage, it can already delay the aging of cells." Jiang Chen stopped talking, smiled at Loki, and stopped talking.
Loki held his breath.
After a while, he pretended to smile calmly.
"Do you plan to promote this technology?"
Even if he wanted to, he couldn't make it too obvious. Otherwise, it would be equivalent to exposing himself to the other party's chopping board. It wasn't even experience, it was completely common sense in the business world. Loki habitually hid his desire to extend his life, but he didn't realize how pretentious his behavior was in the eyes of others.
Looking at Luo Qi still putting on an act, Jiang Chen tried his best not to laugh. He thought this old guy could really keep his composure. This was not a deal worth 10 or 20 billion. It was related to a lifespan that could not be bought with money.
He didn't think that Loki was really not interested. The wealthier the person, the more they cherished their life. Because once they died, all the wealth, identity, and status in their life would disappear. There were people who were willing to give up everything and accept reincarnation, but it was definitely not Loki.
"I don't have any plans for now." Seeing that Loki didn't respond, Jiang Chen was not in a hurry. He raised his glass and took a sip, smiled, and changed the topic in one sentence. "You know, a person's lifespan suddenly changes from one hundred years to two hundred years. Not only will his family be affected, but the entire society he lives in will also be affected. Promote this technology? Trust me, it will be a disaster. "
After he said this, Jiang Chen naturally shifted the topic to the newly completed space elevator and the Machena Port in geosynchronous orbit. He talked about the future development of the space industry and the expansion of space colonies in North and South America.
If it was before, Luo Qi would definitely listen carefully to every word Jiang Chen said and remember it by heart, but now his mind was not on this at all. He was completely distracted by the "extend lifespan" that Jiang Chen said.
He was already in his sixties. In a few years, he would be turning seventy, and he was getting closer and closer to God. B City Consortium grew bigger and bigger under his management and boarded the ship of Celestial Trade. Now it even surpassed Morgan and Rockefeller to become the leader of North America's consortia, and the Loki family name also became a legend on Wall Street.
Speaking of regrets, he already had no regrets in his life.
At least in the next hundred years, the giant Celestial Trade wouldn't fall. As long as his descendants didn't do anything stupid, B City Consortium and the Loki family could prosper forever. Even if God stood in front of him, he could calmly leave with him and pass the patriarch position to his eldest son.
But now …
Jiang Chen told him that he could live longer.
If it was someone else bragging to him that they had a miracle drug that could extend life, he would definitely scoff and not take such stupid words to heart. However, the person who said this was Jiang Chen, the president of Future Group, which made it impossible for him not to take it seriously.
Many people may have forgotten how powerful Future Biology's technology was. After all, other than the widely known product of nutrient supply, the company seemed to be extremely low-key. Many people didn't even know of the company's existence.
However, Loki would never forget this name. He still clearly remembered to this day who solved the T-virus that stumped the pharmaceutical giants in the world …
Finally, Loki couldn't help but speak first.
"About the method to extend DNA telomeres …" As soon as the words came out, Loki met Jiang Chen's smiling eyes. He knew he couldn't avoid this knife, so he forced himself to continue. "Can we talk?"
No matter how much he had to pay, he had to find a way to get it. He was just praying that Jiang Chen's appetite wasn't too big.
"I was just thinking about how long you can last." Jiang Chen suddenly laughed.
"No one can resist the temptation of longevity." Since he already confessed, Loki no longer hid his desire for DNA telomere extension technology. Instead, he also laughed and looked at the night view outside the balcony. "Since you told me, you definitely didn't deliberately make fun of me. Tell me, what do you want to help me? "
"Don't be so nervous. The conditions are actually very simple for you." Jiang Chen smiled and gently tapped his index finger on the glass. "Have you heard of the term Earth Federation?"
Loki took a moment to process before he immediately understood Jiang Chen's meaning. A trace of helplessness appeared on his face.
"You haven't given up yet? You know that's impossible. "
"Why is it impossible?"
Loki stared at Jiang Chen for a long time before he slowly said.
"Are you serious?"
"From the moment I mentioned DNA telomere extension technology to you, I wasn't joking. I was seriously discussing this issue with you." After a pause, Jiang Chen said in a serious tone, "If B City Consortium is willing to stand on our side, we don't mind letting our partners have a longer life."
"We have always been on your side. What do you need us to do?" Loki said.
"It is too difficult to achieve our plan from a political perspective, so I decided to start from an economic perspective." Looking at Loki's unchanged expression, Jiang Chen smiled and continued. "We intend to establish a World Bank, not the one in the United Nations, but a real World Bank. It will be independent of any political entity, issue currency independently, and establish a currency exchange system with the central banks of various countries … "
If Celestial Trade took the lead in establishing a World Bank, it would inevitably arouse the vigilance of various countries. After all, Celestial Trade had become the world's dominant force, and its every move would be the focus of attention of various countries.
Letting B City Consortium take the lead was the best choice. First, it was easy to control. Second, it had enough prestige in the UA financial community. Although the status of the dollar had plummeted, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. The capitalists on Wall Street were still firmly in the top position, but there was a power reshuffle within.
"You're not planning to …" Loki interrupted Jiang Chen's words and said with a trembling voice.
Looking at the shocked Loki, Jiang Chen nodded.
"Yes, before unifying the world, we plan to unify the currency first."
