Chapter 1320 - 1317: Is It Really Just a Uniform Temptation?

Chapter 1320: Chapter 1317: Is It Really Just a Uniform Temptation?

"Our quantum computing project has a total investment of 370 million. Besides the cash, we’ve also put in all kinds of resources worth about 300 million. Plus our R&D成果, if we bundle everything together, it should sell for around 1 billion!" General Li said.

There was no way Luofeng would agree to that price.

"Nine units of quantum computers doesn’t mean much to me. My offer is 300 million for all of it," Luofeng said.

"That’s way too low, our cash投入 alone is 370 million!"

"You’re not wrong, but with this kind of investment, you and I both know how it works: if you succeed, you make ten times or a hundred times back, but if you fail, you eat the loss. You can’t seriously expect to sell it for whatever you invested after it’s failed, right?" Luofeng said bluntly.

General Li had nothing to refute.

"This price is really awkward, can you add a bit more?" General Li said.

"There’s no room for discussion. And we’re taking over the whole project lock, stock, and barrel, including all of the research成果," Luofeng said again, just as blunt.

"I can’t agree to that right now, but I can talk to the shareholders," General Li said. "We’ll have an answer soon."

"Alright," Luofeng nodded.

After about an hour, Luofeng left Baidu Headquarters.

In the car, Huang Liao looked at Luofeng and asked, "Boss, where are we going?"

"We’re going to Old Huang’s place to freeload a meal. Have Brother Huang arrange lunch for us," Luofeng said.

As he spoke, Luofeng glanced at Huang Liao.

To be honest, she kind of looked like Akali from LOL’s K/DA.

With the little cap, hair tied up, short jacket revealing a slim waist—pretty heroic vibe.

"Okay!" Huang Liao nodded.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host on the upcoming acquisition of the quantum computing project. Mission reward: ion-trap talent Li Dong!]

[The talent will be provided by Tang Ren from Siam!]

This kind of reward scheme was as steady as ever.

It wasn’t someone popping out of thin air.

It was a person who actually exists in reality.

After half an hour, Huang Liao drove up to the Security Bureau.

Huang Liao got out and took the initiative to open the car door for Luofeng.

Luofeng took another look at her face and joked, "Good thing you’ve already blown your cover, otherwise with a face like yours, trying to keep it hidden would really attract attention."

Huang Liao knew what he meant.

He was saying she was very pretty.

But she didn’t think so.

Because she’d seen the girlfriends around Luofeng—now that was real beauty.

Huang Liao didn’t say anything.

After being under Zhongyi Tang’s rules for so long, she wouldn’t joke around with the boss.

Next, Luofeng dialed Huang Qiyang’s number.

The moment the call connected.

Huang Qiyang said, "You’re already here at my place, what are you calling for? Just come straight in."

"You’re monitoring me again?" Luofeng made complaints.

"You strolling in here like you own the place counts as me monitoring you?" Huang Qiyang also made complaints.

"Has Mr. Shangshan’s identity been settled yet?" Luofeng asked.

"We’re handling it. Relax, we’ll definitely take care of it perfectly. For this kind of thing, we on the official side are even more invested than you," Huang Qiyang said.

"Good. I’m coming over to mooch lunch off you guys at noon."

"Oh? Then we’re going to the cafeteria?" Huang Qiyang asked.

"So stingy?"

"You know how it is, we don’t have money. With our measly salaries, we can’t afford to treat you," Huang Qiyang said.

"I almost believed you," Luofeng chuckled. It was true that Huang Qiyang’s salary wasn’t much, but if you really believed he didn’t have money at home, that’d be a huge mistake.

You think someone like him.

Wouldn’t marry a rich wife?

Forget his level.

Even a regular guy who’s ’gotten ashore’.

Meaning he’s passed the civil service exam.

There are countless wealthy families lining up to send their daughters over.

After all, there’s a saying that’s a joke on the surface, but it does highlight how important it is.

The ultimate destination of the universe is the civil service exam?

When he got to Huang Qiyang’s office, Luofeng took the initiative to say, "Haven’t seen Han Feifei around lately. Where did that Beauty go?"

"What, you got your eye on one of ours now? You really do have a thing for uniforms?" Huang Qiyang teased.

Han Feifei being their number-one beauty here—wasn’t even an exaggeration.

Forget just Luofeng thinking about her.

In the unit, any man, who doesn’t think about her?

But everyone was very rational. This is the National Security Investigation Bureau.

Not your place for dating and romance.

"Come on, that’s a bit much. We’re at least friends, and I’m her savior, aren’t I? Is there a problem with me asking about her?" Luofeng made complaints.

"She’s been running external missions lately. She’s field personnel, you should know that, right?"

"Oh? Is it convenient to tell me what kind of field mission?" Luofeng asked.

"Does this count as your weakness now?" Huang Qiyang said. "In future, whenever we run into something we can’t handle, we’ll just send Han Feifei to deal with it, and after she reports back to you, you’ll help her solve it?"

Luofeng laughed and said, "You can give it a try."

Huang Qiyang didn’t pick up that topic.

Even though he’d tossed the idea out bluntly, he had no way of knowing whether Luofeng would actually help Han Feifei.

"Han Feifei is in Nixia investigating the matter of the millennial ginseng. I told you before, Nixia’s side is looking into millennial ginseng. That intel was sent back by Han Feifei," Huang Qiyang said.

"Oh? Is it dangerous?" Luofeng raised his brows.

Han Feifei was a Beauty with top scores in both looks and figure.

A one-in-a-million goddess level.

And Han Feifei had a special status.

She was the only girl he knew who came with a uniform, okay?

Sending a great beauty like that to Nixia, Luofeng felt like there was a big problem.

After all, things over there aren’t exactly peaceful.

Actually, lots of places abroad aren’t exactly peaceful.

"Relax. This time, Han Feifei’s身份 is a rich heiress. We arranged four field agents to protect her, there definitely won’t be any issues," Huang Qiyang said.

"With that kind of attitude, I feel like you’re jinxing it," Luofeng made complaints.

’Definitely won’t be a problem’?

In TV dramas, that line basically guarantees there’ll be a problem.

"It’s not a jinx, it’s confidence. We’ve deployed multiple teams to Klik Mountain. Han Feifei is just one of them—there are two other teams and one support team," Huang Qiyang revealed.

"You’ve put that much manpower into Klik Mountain? Then I really should be thanking you," Luofeng joked.

"In that case, shouldn’t you give us some millennial ginseng as payment?" Huang Qiyang laughed.

"Dream on. Club contribution points—if you’ve got the skills, bring out some contribution points and redeem it," Luofeng made complaints.

"You bastard," Huang Qiyang said helplessly, then continued, "This time, besides cleaning up after you, we’re also checking Nixia to see if there’s any more millennial ginseng over there."

This was testing the waters.

And Luofeng knew that very well.
