789: Chapter 789: Battle of Wits Among Heroes!
Deceiving the Genius!
If you can’t handle it, hold it in!
With just one sentence, Wu Jie had Watanabe Taizo’s face turning red in an instant.
Especially the term “little devil”, which struck a nerve immediately.
At such a high-level event!
In front of so many pharmaceutical representatives!
Wu Jie actually called him a “little devil”!
How could this not enrage him?
In an instant!
The whole room fell into dead silence!
Everyone was looking at Watanabe Taizo, whose face was flushed and neck thick, staring at Wu Jie with angry, rounded eyes.
It seemed like he might rush over at any moment and strangle Wu Jie to death.
“What’s wrong?
Can’t handle the anger, want to have a go alone?”
Wu Jie asked with a frivolous look in his eyes.
“You… you’re completely unreasonable!
To think they would arrange such an irrational, thuggish bully like you for the negotiation!”
Watanabe Taizo trembled with anger.
Wu Jie scoffed and said, “Wasn’t it you who first accused me of robbery and being unreasonable?
Developing a new drug costs a huge price, and everyone here knows that too well, a pill that can save lives priced at two hundred thousand, how am I being aggressive and predatory?”
Watanabe Taizo huffed heavily.
“Two hundred thousand for a pill, it takes one million two hundred thousand to save a person!
Currently, our country has tens of thousands of infected, and by your calculations, it will cost close to one hundred billion Gold Coins!
Isn’t this extortion?”
Wu Jie chuckled and said, “Saving a person sure to die with just over a million, do you think this is expensive?
It seems that in your eyes, the value of your people’s lives is really low!”
“But don’t you tout something about human rights?
In your eyes, isn’t life supposed to be above all?
To think you would rather give up a life than spend one million two hundred thousand!”
This statement had a double meaning.
It not only ridiculed Watanabe Taizo for being stingy, but also mocked their disregard for human life, treating the lives of their citizens as worthless.
More importantly, Wu Jie was ‘killing the chicken to scare the monkeys’, contrasting money with human life.
If representatives from other nations here to buy medicine complained again about the high price of Detox Pills, they would also be seen as people who hold life cheap and are only out for profit.
There you have it.
After the translators translated his words, the representatives from various countries looked at each other, cursing inwardly.
Such harsh words!
He had blocked any room for negotiation in regards to the price.
If we complain about the price being too high again, who knows what Wu Jie will say next to leave us speechless.
“No!
I’m not indifferent to life!
The lives of our people are precious, not something that can be measured by money!”
Having regained his composure, Watanabe Taizo quickly changed his tone.
Wu Jie chuckled and said:
“Since they’re precious, then buy them!
But I must declare beforehand, production is limited, and it goes to the highest bidder!”
With a bang.
A lot of people could no longer sit still.
Just now everyone had been calculating how many infected patients they had at home, roughly how many new infections would appear.
They were figuring out how much money they needed to buy, preparing to spend a significant amount.
But what now?
Limited production?
It goes to the highest bidder?
Doesn’t this mean that the starting price of two hundred thousand per pill is just a base auction price?
Does Wu Jie intend to have the nations bid against one another, continuously raising the price?
If that were true, things could get really out of hand.
After the auction, the price of a pill will certainly double or even triple.
Damn!
In Wu Jie’s hand, those three glowing green pills in the small bottle seemed to be worth more than diamonds!
“What do you mean?
An auction?
Don’t you have a conscience?”
A pharmaceutical representative from a certain country asked angrily.
Money, money, money, linked with life.
Wu Jie has come up with a ‘highest bidder wins’ policy, isn’t this plainly saying that people from poor and weak countries will die because of poverty?
“No!
If we do this, won’t the price of Detox Pills be unlimited?”
“Don’t you always say that saving a life is more meritorious than creating seven levels of pagoda?
By making money off human lives, don’t you feel a twinge of conscience?”
“Every day, tens of thousands of people die from illnesses globally, it’s ok if you don’t donate for free, but selling it so expensively, doesn’t your conscience hurt?”
“Low production capacity?
Then increase the production capacity!
If you’re afraid of leaking secrets, then license more trusted pharmaceutical factories to produce it!”
“How much can you produce in a day?
Many patients can’t live more than three days; life-saving drugs are no joking matter!”
“It’s understandable that you want to seek profits for your own country and yourself, but can’t you spare a thought for the millions of patients worldwide?”
“Can’t you have a bit of conscience?
The patients who die every day, they’re not your compatriots, so you don’t care, right?”
…
The pharmaceutical representatives from various countries, utterly exasperated, chattered on ceaselessly.
In such a chaotic noise, the simultaneous interpreters on duty couldn’t translate anymore.
But this was no challenge for Wu Jie, who had a wealth of energy points and had exchanged temporary skills in several languages without a second thought.
Moreover, the frenzy and hatred from these high-ranking representatives from various nations earned Wu Jie a ceaseless influx of energy points.
Keep arguing!
Keep making a scene!
Wu Jie remained silent when fighting for his country’s interests.
But when it came to selling medicine for profit, he was criticized for the high prices.
Seeing their fierce and scolding appearance, it was evident that they wanted nothing more than for Wu Jie to give them the Detox Pills for free.
If he gave them the formula and process too, they would certainly be even happier.
Since the venue had become so noisy, like a bustling marketplace.
What’s the point in talking anymore!
Wu Jie casually sat down and pulled out a cigarette to light up.
This action immediately silenced many representatives, leaving them dumbfounded.
In some developed countries, smoking is strictly prohibited in public places.
“What’s up?
Why are you all looking at me?
Just keep talking!”
Wu Jie blew a smoke ring and noticed that many faces had turned green.
He glanced at the cigarette butt and chuckled:
“I know you can’t smoke in public places, but this is a secret meeting, a private place, isn’t it?
Why can’t I smoke?”
“Do you want one?
They’re free!
You are all people of high status and power, I still have to give you that much respect!”
As soon as the words were out.
Alice, who was nearby, got up, took the cigarette pack, and started smoking in front of everyone.
Truly a heroine among women.
However…
Who would have expected that they would come over one after another to take cigarettes.
The women, who appear so proper and upright in public, turned out to be seasoned smokers.
Their smoking was more skilled than the next.
If a picture of this were to be released, it would certainly astonish countless people.
The previously noisy venue gradually quieted down because of the three people smoking.
Wu Jie had already said that this was a secret meeting for commercial negotiations, not an official talk.
So might as well let loose!
However…
Wu Jie was surprised to find that one pack of cigarettes obviously wasn’t enough!
Luckily, Zheng reacted quickly and swiftly brought in several cartons of Zhonghua.
Now things were better.
The large living room, like smoking sausages during the New Year, was filled with swirling smoke.
Watanabe Taizo, who had been scolded as “little devil,” had been holding back from smoking but was coughing profusely from the smoke.
Meanwhile, Perrio, who had been infuriated by Wu Jie twice, stood with his arms crossed over his chest.
He looked deeply aggrieved as he pondered in silence.
Wu Jie looked around with a chuckle and said:
“That’s more like it!
We are all people with identities; why bother with endless chatter, making the negotiation venue as noisy as a marketplace?”
“You want to eliminate the epidemic, cure the virus patients, and I want to profit for the country and myself.
We are not in conflict!”
“Moreover, no matter how much my Detox Pill costs, it’s not coming out of your pocket, so why quibble over it?”
After flicking the ash from his cigarette, Wu Jie glanced at an envoy from a certain country.
“Also, two friendly reminders!”
“First, I have said before that we could ‘exchange goods for goods,’ with technology, minerals, grains, and so on.”
“Although we have developed rapidly these years, we have been too weak for too long, and our technology still lags behind yours!”
“Like the turbojet engines used in your Stealth Fighters, with over eighteen tons of thrust per unit, advanced and reliable performance!”
“If you transfer the complete technology and process data, giving it a few billion yuan as an evaluation price, it’s not impossible!”
As soon as his words fell, Perrio angrily said:
“We’ve spent over twenty years and hundreds of billions of Gold Coins on its development.
It’s the strongest and best aviation engine in the world, yet you’re only offering a few billion yuan.
Aren’t you ripping us off?”
“Haha!
I’m just making an analogy.
After all, the price is negotiable!
Your industrial machine tools and large-scale mechanical and electrical equipment technology can also be sold for money!”
“And oil, natural gas, and wheat, all sorts of local produce, technology, minerals can be sold, as long as you’re willing to bring them for evaluation, I can definitely give you a good price, completely honest and fair!”
“In any case, you must not think you’re out of money!
As long as your thinking doesn’t slip, there are always more ways than difficulties!”
With this speech from Wu Jie.
Representatives from various countries at the venue were shocked speechless.
They stared at Wu Jie as if they were looking at an alien.
It all felt too much like a scavenger seeing their countries’ precious technology, mineral resources, agricultural products, and even territory as recyclables, right?
At that moment.
People listening elsewhere were already laughing uncontrollably.
Especially Tan and the others upstairs, who were laughing their heads off.
“This guy, really is a treasure!
So good at tricking people!
The title of King of Tricksters is well-deserved!”
“Isn’t that the truth!
He first makes the price of the Detox Pill sky-high, then convinces everyone not to be afraid of poverty, as they can trade goods for it!”
“This guy is really talented!
Thank goodness he didn’t go into multi-level marketing; otherwise, he’d surely brainwash countless people!”
“My gosh!
This kid can really sweet-talk!
Truly a genius in doing business!”
“That’s not right!
He’s clearly a genius at ripping people off!”
…
Back at the venue.
The representatives were still trying to grasp what was happening when Wu Jie reminded them:
“Second, you must have noticed, right?”
“There are 197 countries in the world, yet today, only 29 countries sent representatives to negotiate with me.
What does that imply?”
“You get the early bird advantage, you overcome the crisis, but others are left in the dark!”
“As power shifts, you will soon rise to higher levels of influence within your regions!”
“So, better to act than just dream.
Hurry up and buy!”
