"Blacklight Biotechnology is willing to purchase the germanium mining rights of your country in the suburbs of Gaborone for 120 million US dollars."
A Chinese man with a sallow complexion, who looked as if his body had been hollowed out, sat at the negotiating table with a proud expression. Beside him was a professional negotiation team composed of translators, secretaries, legal consultants, and others.
This man was one of the founding members who had followed Chen Chen when he first came to Africa, Wang Liang.
Although he had always been overshadowed by Qian Wenhuan due to his lack of ability, Wang Liang was now considered a senior member of Blacklight Biotechnology. This time, he was sent by Qian Wenhuan to oversee the purchase of germanium from the Rainbow Nation.
On the other side of the negotiating table was the Rainbow Nation's Department of Mines and Energy.
At this time, Wang Liang had a proud expression on his face as he had the translator translate his message to the officials on the other side. He also emphasized, "This is our highest price."
However, the group of people on the other side of the negotiating table discussed among themselves for a while before the leading black official spoke in fluent English, "I'm sorry, we can't accept this price."
"Why? Is it because we don't have enough money? "
Wang Liang frowned and became a little impatient. "Do you know the international market price of germanium? It's 1000 US dollars per kilogram. Your germanium mine in Gaborone currently only has 300 tons of proven reserves, which is 300,000 kilograms. Even if it's all mined, it's only worth 300 million US dollars.
"However, doesn't mining cost money? Doesn't refining cost money? Doesn't shipping cost money? Germanium is a rare metal to begin with. It's difficult to mine and even harder to refine. By the time the finished product is produced, it's basically at the international market price. If you want more, we might as well buy it from the international market directly! "
Although his attitude was not very good, Wang Liang's professional skills were still very good. At this time, he clearly explained the pros and cons of the germanium mine without any flaws.
However, there was no telling what the other party was worried about. After another heated discussion, the officials on the other side finally said, "I'm sorry, we still can't accept this price. We want at least 150 million US dollars!"
"What!"
Wang Liang slammed the table angrily. "You guys don't plan to sell it, do you! If that's the case, let's go! "
With that, he stood up and walked out of the conference room in a huff. The people behind him immediately followed.
Only when he walked out of the city hall did Wang Liang spit on the ground. "A bunch of uncivilized monkeys!"
"Manager Wang, we don't have to be angry at this guy!"
A subordinate hurriedly walked over and handed a high-quality cigar to Wang Liang. Then, as if performing a magic trick, he took out a lighter and lit it for Wang Liang. "Supervisor Wang, please don't bother with these Black Devils. These people are so poor that they've gone crazy. They even dare to ask for so much for a small mine. If it really doesn't work, we'll go to another mine."
"The thing is, germanium mines are indeed a little rare, and Qian Wenhuan has given us a strict order to seize this germanium mine …"
Wang Liang shook his head, but when he mentioned Qian Wenhuan, his eyes flashed with a hint of gloom. He took a long drag of his cigar and walked towards the car. "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. At worst, we'll go to these officials' homes again tonight. I'm sure that if we give them some benefits, the price will drop tomorrow …"
With that, Wang Liang got into the car with the attentive service of his secretary.
Only then did the secretary close the door for Wang Liang, then got into the car from the other side. The driver also got into the driver's seat.
"Zhou Hang, find out the address of the Minister of Energy for me in the afternoon. It must be done before dark, got it?"
"Understood, Manager Wang. Are we going back to the hotel first?"
"Let's go back first..."
As the two conversed, the driver slowly started the car. However, the moment the car started, there was a sudden deafening explosion and the entire car suddenly exploded!
In an instant, the car and the three people inside were turned into a ball of fire, burning fiercely in front of the city hall...
The other members of the negotiation team were left gaping in shock. Their faces were flushed red from the fire.
Wang Liang was dead.
Ten minutes later, when Chen Chen received the news, the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
"Who did it?"
Chen Chen was speechless. "X, didn't you receive any news before this?"
"Sorry, Sir Godfather."
Little X sounded a little aggrieved. "I really didn't receive any news at all."
Chen Chen nodded and did not blame Little X. After all, he understood that if Little X wanted to obtain any information about Blacklight Biotechnology, she would have to search through the big data of the Internet. Unless a targeted investigation was carried out, there was no way Little X would be able to thoroughly investigate all kinds of chat software, dark web communications, and even more secretive forms of communication such as wireless.
The Internet was not without blind spots. Moreover, the attack this time was not targeted at Chen Chen but an employee of Blacklight Biotechnology. It was even more difficult for Little X to notice it in advance.
"It seems that to make you more omniscient and omnipotent on the Internet, it's time to upgrade it. E language and the Gantz server are good choices."
Chen Chen nodded. "So, what can we find by following the clues?"
"I've retrieved the surveillance footage of the Rainbow Nation's Gaborone City Hall and tracked a man in black."
As Little X spoke, the computer screen in front of Chen Chen automatically projected a surveillance video. The video showed a tall man wearing a black mask and a black trench coat. When the man passed by Wang Liang's rented car, he bent over slightly as if he was washing his shoelaces.
However, this angle was blocked by the car itself. Chen Chen could only see that in less than ten seconds, the man got up again and turned around to leave.
It was a clean and neat process. The entire process did not take more than twenty seconds.
"As this man didn't show his face, it's difficult for me to determine his identity. Also, when I followed the trajectory of the surveillance footage, I found that he eventually walked into a slum. This is beyond the scope of my investigation."
Little X said, "I don't know if he did it intentionally or not. In short, he successfully escaped my detection."
Hearing this, Chen Chen's expression became even more gloomy. He slowly paced around. "X, it seems that your existence has been discovered."
"Actually, this is very normal."
After thinking for a while, Chen Chen said in a low voice, "The Disciple Council in God's Forbidden Zone, the massacre of the plutocrats in Switzerland, and our very orderly elimination of spies in Eco Science City. In fact, it can be deduced that our Blacklight Biotechnology has some kind of almost omniscient information channel on the Internet."
Due to the unique nature of Eco Science City, there was never a shortage of spies in this city.
It was not only the commercial spies of major medical companies but also the official spies of the various continents. Whether it was the Mainland or Northern America, everyone was extremely curious about how such advanced medical technology was developed in Eco Science City.
These spies usually posed no threat, so Chen Chen let them be. However, once they began to take action and threatened the security of Eco Science City, someone would make them disappear completely.
This was both a warning and a display of muscle.
After a few times, everyone gradually understood that Eco Science City was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
At this time, Chen Chen silently analyzed. "Therefore, when our potential enemies communicate on the Internet, they deliberately avoid keywords such as' Blacklight Biotechnology 'and' Chen Chen ', change them to other codenames, or use some unpopular chat methods. In this way, it's indeed very difficult for us to detect...
"So, how should we deal with it?"
Little X asked a little anxiously.
"Of course, we wait and see."
Chen Chen replied, but the words that came out of his mouth stunned Little X.
"There's no loophole this time, but it doesn't mean there won't be a loophole next time."
Seeing that Little X was a little puzzled, Chen Chen had to explain. "Still don't understand? There will always be a time when they show their fox tail. After all, how can there be a watertight system in this world? It doesn't exist! "
With that said, the corner of Chen Chen's mouth curled up coldly. "X, have you played Pac-Man before? Between us and them, it's just a game of hide-and-seek. We're the pursuers and they're just a Pac-Man in a huge maze...
"I'd like to see how many of my beans he can eat."
