The construction of the mutant farm would be organized by the merchants themselves, and NAC would only be responsible for providing them with pigs. As to the profit, NAC would only take 30% as "patent fee".
A shrewd merchant wanted to purchase the pigs at a high price and buy out the patent in NAC's hands, but Jiang Chen rejected the offer. The profit was secondary. The main reason was that NAC must firmly control the production of crystals. And the pigs would be strictly restricted within NAC's sphere of influence and prohibited from being brought out of the city. Once any partner leaked the technology, NAC would cancel the partnership and impose a hefty fine.
After reaching an agreement, the eight merchants left the conference room with joyful expressions on their faces. Jiang Chen's proposal undoubtedly pulled them back from the brink of bankruptcy, so they had no reason to reject.
They were surprised that Jiang Chen was willing to share this big cake with them. With NAC's power, it was entirely possible for them to build a mutant farm.
The reason why Jiang Chen made this decision was based on his own considerations. With NAC's current financial resources, there was no need to be greedy for the small profit of crystals. To put it bluntly, the "money" would be printed by NAC, so why would he care about the profits of a few farms?
Compared to the rich in the ghetto, Jiang Chen was more willing to be the king of a wealthy area. Other than the food trade and the high-end arms market controlled by the NAC military government, he planned to give the other "non-core interests" to private parties. Since when it came to expanding the market, private parties were often more motivated than bureaucrats. As to why he said that, he would know after reading history.
Jiang Chen finally finished his work at the Sixth Street. He said goodbye to Chu Nan and declined the offer to stay at the Sixth Street. He took the helicopter back to the Fishbone base before dusk.
It was almost the end of October, and Ayesha's mission was almost complete. On the other hand, the Rothschild family invited him to Europe for the Auto Exhibition. Jiang Chen, who was close to Carmen, obviously wouldn't reject.
The apocalypse was already on the right track.
In order to deal with the distant threat, the focus of development needed to lean toward the real world.
…
When the transport helicopter arrived at the tarmac of the base, Jiang Chen saw through the window that Jiang Lin was waiting beside the tarmac.
When he saw Jiang Chen come out of the hatch, he immediately greeted him.
"What is it?" Jiang Chen looked at Jiang Lin in surprise as he stopped and asked.
"It's about the warp drive thesis." Jiang Lin took a deep breath and spoke quickly.
"Any progress?" Jiang Chen immediately asked.
"How is this possible?" Jiang Lin smiled bitterly and shook his head. "It's just that after reading it, it inspired me and the people in the research institute. May I know who wrote this paper? If it's possible, please take me to him. "
"That's impossible. The scientist who wrote this paper obviously boarded the colonization ship," Jiang Chen said helplessly.
Slightly stunned, Jiang Lin sighed regretfully. "As expected?"
"Any other questions?" Jiang Chen asked nonchalantly.
"Yes, it's about research priorities." Jiang Lin said seriously, "Although this paper provides us with a relatively novel and clear research idea, it is still very difficult to implement a warp drive engine. In other words, with the current conditions, it's almost impossible to achieve … "
"The priority is the same as other research projects. No matter how difficult it is, we have to do it, even if it takes ten or twenty years." Jiang Chen looked straight into Jiang Lin's eyes and said seriously, "This concerns the lives of many people."
Jiang Lin was shocked by the seriousness in Jiang Chen's words as he held his breath.
After a while, he said a word with a trembling voice.
"Who?"
"A lot of people." Jiang Chen didn't tell him who it was. He only left a vague word before he turned around and left.
To be honest, with his current strength, he would have no chance of winning against the Harmony faction in the modern world. With the Sailboat Beetle capable of interstellar travel and the hidden threat, he couldn't think of any way to win.
But if Jiang Chen could develop a warp drive that could theoretically reach the speed of light, then his chance of winning would undoubtedly increase.
Although the crisis was already foreseeable, there was still a lot of time left for Jiang Chen. With a distance of 20.5 light years, the "Natural Selection" would take decades or even hundreds of years to reach Earth.
But even so, time was still tight. Although it was superficial to use development time to measure the combat power of civilization, they were still monsters that traveled in the river of time for more than two thousand years.
Moreover, it was a monster that had aggression written in its genes.
It was absolutely impossible to tell the world that "aliens" were on the way to invade. Regardless of whether or not the current technology could observe the "Natural Selection" more than ten light years away, even if Jiang Chen succeeded in convincing everyone in the modern world, it would only increase unnecessary panic.
How could he tie the world to his chariot? How could he make the Earth civilization have the power to fight against the Natural Selection? There were still many things waiting for Jiang Chen to solve.
Development still had to be done step by step, but the pace undoubtedly had to be sped up.
Back in the mansion. After dinner with the girls, Jiang Chen hugged Sun Jiao into the bedroom.
As for the date of returning to the modern world, Jiang Chen already told them. After coming back from the Sixth Street, he almost finished all the things he needed to personally take care of.
It was also because of this that Sun Jiao was particularly obsessed with Jiang Chen at night. She wanted to stuff Jiang Chen into her body and become one with him …
It was a silent night.
The next morning, Jiang Chen leaned against the bed and stared at the handsome yet beautiful sleeping face for a long time.
Without any other words, he gently kissed the side of her face.
Jiang Chen gently covered Sun Jiao with the blanket, returned to his bedroom, and disappeared from the mansion.
…
When he opened his eyes again, the scenery had changed. The entire world seemed to be dyed with fresh colors.
Looking at the elegantly decorated chandelier on the ceiling, Jiang Chen, who was lying on the bed, took a while to switch his thoughts from the apocalypse to the modern world.
The first thing he did when he came back was to check his phone. Without Ayesha's help, it was difficult for him to receive news from the apocalypse. But when he opened his phone, Jiang Chen was shocked. Hundreds of missed calls and text messages flooded the screen.
And these missed calls were all from the same name.
Jiang Chen's finger tapped on the screen a few times before he immediately called her back.
The phone only rang once before it was connected. Before Jiang Chen could speak, a voice with a hint of anxiety came through.
"Where are you now? Hello? Are you okay? "
Jiang Chen paused for a moment and listened to the concerned inquiry in his ear. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"I … I'm fine. Uhh, of course I'm in Xin. "
After confirming Jiang Chen's safety, Xia Shiyu let out a sigh of relief. But when she realized nothing had happened to Jiang Chen and that she had been worrying for nothing for a week, her voice had a hint of complaint.
"As the president, it's better not to suddenly disappear. You're in Xin now. If I lose contact, I don't even know which phone number to call. "
"Ahem, don't worry, I'll be fine. But depending on the needs of work, I occasionally have to go to a place without signal. Mhmm, an island on the sea. "Jiang Chen made up a story.
Xia Shiyu took a deep breath. She didn't completely believe Jiang Chen's explanation, but she still accepted it.
"Let's not talk about this. Let's talk business."
"Mhmm, go ahead. I'm listening." Jiang Chen held the phone with his other hand and changed his pants.
"Here's the thing. The company has received a lot of invitations. Other than private ones, there are also some official ones."
"For example?" Jiang Chen asked nonchalantly.
"For example, the Xiangjiang government and the invitation from Hua."
[Finally here?]
A smile appeared on Jiang Chen's face.
Faced with the era-defining technology, someone finally felt heartache.
