Just as Jiang Chen was focused on his dinner, a blonde beauty suddenly sat across from him.
Without raising his head, Jiang Chen didn't even need to think about who it was.
"How did you know I was eating here?"
"You must not have noticed that the Russian Embassy is on the other side of the street, and how obvious your Lamborghini is parked on the side of the road." Natasha pressed her lips together as she asked the waiter to bring her a bowl of rice.
"I remember that Russians need bread for every meal. Is it okay to eat rice?" Jiang Chen glanced at the bowl of rice in front of her.
"Don't worry, I studied traditional Chinese culture before I came here," Natasha picked up two chopsticks and twirled them between her fingers like a pen.
[Would a normal person play with chopsticks like this before eating?] Jiang Chen silently mocked in his mind.
"Why are you looking for me?" Jiang Chen went straight to the point.
"Nothing special, can't I just eat?" Natasha asked the waiter to bring two bottles of beer.
"You like to drink beer so much, are you not afraid of getting a beer belly?" Jiang Chen joked.
"Are you worried about my body?" Natasha grinned.
Jiang Chen looked away.
[This girl must be seducing me again.]
"Oh right, your virtual reality helmet, can I play with it?"
Jiang Chen let out a sigh.
"Didn't we agree that it's just a free meal?"
"Can't we talk about this between friends?" Natasha said as she took a sip of beer.
"Of course, once the Phantom helmet is officially released, I'll personally give you one." Jiang Chen smiled.
Seeing that Jiang Chen didn't want to reveal anything, Natasha let out a sigh.
"Okay, the Kremlin wants me to find out how advanced your virtual reality technology is … Don't misunderstand, the reason why I asked is because we are a bit out of touch with the world in this area. But even if I asked, you wouldn't tell me, right? "
"That's right." Jiang Chen was pleased with Natasha's honesty.
Natasha rolled her eyes at Jiang Chen as she picked up a piece of braised pork with her chopsticks and sent it into her bright red mouth. Even the movements of his hands and feet were faintly filled with a bewitching aura. Jiang Chen chose not to look at her to avoid being distracted.
"What about the nutrient supply?" Natasha asked.
"Nutrient supply? Why would the Kremlin be interested in nutrient supply? "Jiang Chen laughed.
"To be precise, both the Department of Defense and the National Space Administration are very interested. Because we tried to buy the nutrient supply you produced, although we couldn't fill our stomachs, we unexpectedly found that after drinking it, we didn't poop — "
"Ahem, we are eating now." Jiang Chen coughed and reminded.
Natasha suddenly understood and changed her words.
"Hmm … I won't expel it. Your Chinese culture is really broad and profound. "
[What you want to say is troublesome, right?] Jiang Chen glared at her and continued to eat the food on his plate.
"So?"
"We want to work with you to develop a portable nutrient supply that allows people to maintain their physical strength after drinking it, and it won't cause excretion at critical moments." Natasha put down her chopsticks, put her elbow on the table, and smiled at Jiang Chen.
"A portable nutrient supply that allows soldiers to obtain enough energy after drinking it, and it doesn't require excretion at critical moments?" Jiang Chen put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth with a napkin.
"And astronauts, using nutrient supply as a supplement, we can save space for excretion disposal." Seeing that Jiang Chen already finished eating, Natasha didn't care about her words anymore as she went straight to the point.
"To be honest, we already developed this thing, so we don't really need to work with you." Jiang Chen sighed, "But to enter the military supplies market, I personally maintain a cautious attitude. This thing is like excretion, it can't be washed off even if it's on your hands. "
"It's just military supplies, not a tool to kill people. You don't have to be so sensitive." Natasha sighed, "Just like an internet company like Google, didn't they also design mechanical dogs for the UA military to transport supplies?"
After hearing Natasha's words, Jiang Chen fell into deep thought.
After a long time, Jiang Chen said.
"How do you plan to work together?"
"I have three plans. First, you transfer the production technology of the military nutrient supply to us and guarantee it won't be leaked to a third party. We'll purchase your technology for 100 million USD. "
"Too cheap, I don't want to sell it," Jiang Chen said nonchalantly.
Other than being cheap, the organic synthesis furnace used to produce the nutrient supply contained too much advanced technology. For example, the molecular screening network was something modern technology couldn't achieve. The recipe of the nutrient supply itself was not expensive, the expensive part was the technology to produce it.
Natasha wasn't surprised by Jiang Chen's response. She grinned and then extended a second finger.
"Second, we'll give you policies, and you'll build a factory in our country. We have abundant labor resources and raw materials to supply the market. "
"The nutrient supply production plant is only going to be built on Ange Island. After so many things happened, I don't have a sense of security, you know, "Jiang Chen said emotionlessly.
Natasha glared at Jiang Chen in annoyance, took a deep breath, and extended a third finger.
"Third, you produce, and we import."
"Military?"
"Of course." Natasha nodded.
Jiang Chen was silent for a moment.
"Can I hear the approximate amount of your order?"
"20 million per month," Natasha said.
[20 million?] That's 20 boxes of nutrient supply. If it wasn't for the low calorie requirement, the cost of nutrient supply would be much cheaper. For example, the production of nutrient supply must use special DH seaweed, but if they produced the nutrient supply on the wasteland, any vegetable or fruit could be used as raw material to produce a nutrient supply above grade A.
And the price of fruits and meat, for Xin, which was close to an agricultural country, was extremely low.
"What kind of price are you willing to pay?" Jiang Chen asked.
"3 USD each," Natasha suggested nervously.
The average daily food cost for Russian soldiers was 351 rubles, or 4.60 USD. Considering that nutrient supply could replace normal diet, as long as the price of nutrient supply was not too high, purchasing nutrient supply was not a burden for the Russian army. Instead, it could reduce the food cost. Nutrient supply was easy to store, and if they used nutrient supply as a strategic resource, they could save a lot of money.
But according to the retail price of nutrient supply, 6.1 USD each, they could not afford it.
So when they proposed the price of 3 USD, Natasha was very anxious, afraid that Jiang Chen would think the price was too low and would not agree to it.
Too low?
Or rather, Jiang Chen thought it was too high.
Jiang Chen calculated in his mind. If they produced a regular nutrient supply, the cost would only be 1 USD, much lower than the improved nutrient supply. Earning 2 USD per nutrient supply, wasn't that a bit too much?
More importantly, it was easy to increase the production of the nutrient supply. There was no need to expand the DH seaweed plantation. Regular fruits and vegetables, or even restaurant leftovers, could be produced.
Jiang Chen glanced at Natasha and saw that her face was tense as if she was afraid that he would reject her.
[Hehe, how could I accept that? Since you don't think it's too expensive, then I'll sell it to you.]
Jiang Chen coughed as he pretended to be serious.
"Although the price is a bit lower than what I expected, considering our friendly relationship … Deal."
A charming smile immediately appeared on Natasha's face. It was obvious that she was relieved.
"Thank you for your generosity. I wish us a happy partnership."
"You're welcome." The corner of Jiang Chen's mouth curled up.
Looking at Jiang Chen's expression, Natasha raised her eyebrows in confusion.
His faint smile always made her feel like she had been tricked. But she couldn't tell where she was tricked.
