639 A Collaboration Requires a Cooperative Attitude

That was that there was something that needed to be negotiated between this person and China.

Just as he predicted, after this small meeting ended, the heads of each country were ready to leave.

However, the person who had placed the last bid was sitting in the corner unfazed.

Wu Mo’s heart skipped a beat, and he decided to receive this person personally.

Two muscular officers accompanied him and sat in front of the man. They stared at him and waited for him to speak.

The bald national leader stood up with a smile on his face.

“Chief Engineer Wu, officers, good afternoon! I’d like to discuss a long-term collaboration with you. I wonder if you’re interested?”

“What?! Long-term collaboration?” Wu Mo was slightly taken aback..

His confusion stemmed from the background of the current era. China’s strength was unparalleled in the world, and no country could be as famous as it.

In that case, why did the national leader have such strong confidence and hope to cooperate with China?

His eyes were filled with sincerity as if he was asking for help. It was impossible to look straight at him.

Wu Mo and the two military officers looked at each other and smiled. It was as if there was a knife in each other’s smile.

The bald national leaer instantly felt a chill in his heart.

He began to regret that he should have brought a lobbyist with him so that he could prepare for a debate.

“Mr. Wu, we found a large amount of oil in a base on Eternal Sun!”

“Oil?”

Wu Mo’s eyes suddenly lit up, and the two officers were equally surprised.

Oil was a precious resource!

“Yes, Mr. Wu. We know that the controllable nuclear fusion reactor you created can provide electricity for large-scale facilities. However, the reality is that cars still rely on oil as their power source.”

The bald leader’s eyes were firm, and his tone was full of confidence.

In the current era, controllable nuclear fusion reactors had become the new darling of energy.

However, for moving objects such as cars, electricity still could not completely replace fuel.

Although the fuel vehicle market had shrunk, it had not completely withdrawn from the historical stage.

Excavators, heavy equipment on the construction site, etc. still require oil are still in every corner of our lives.

Even though the demand for oil had been greatly reduced.

However, it was not reduced to zero. Human society still needed oil to meet basic needs.

The leader before him was the one who had discovered the rich reserves of oil on Eternal Sun. They hoped to use these oil resources to supply energy for the country.

However, their country’s oil extraction technology was lagging behind. They hoped that China would lend a helping hand and help them extract the oil.

China would help them with the mining, and in return, China would get a portion of the oil.

“How about it, Mr. Wu? This plan should be attractive enough. We have an abundance of oil reserves on Eternal Sun. I believe China will be able to obtain a lot of it.”

The leader looked at Wu Mo with anticipation.

He knew that as long as Wu Mo approved of this plan, their collaboration would go smoothly.

Wu Mo did not answer immediately. He silently evaluated the proposal in his heart.

He was rather surprised. Why had he not discovered so many resources on Eternal Sun before?

China’s development team had been exploring Eternal Sun.

However, other than discovering the ruins of the alien civilization, there had been no gains from Eternal Sun’s oil fields, gold mines, or rare metals.

Was this a hint that China needed to develop the planet?

“Alright. I’m willing to collaborate with you!”

Wu Mo’s voice was like the sound of nature. It gently echoed in the sealed meeting room.

The bald leader was instantly ecstatic.

He knew that he had arrived with a mission as heavy as Mount Tai. Finally, he had a bright future.

He knew that with Wu Mo’s approval, he was halfway there.

He was excited to see how deep his collaboration with Wu Mo would go in the future.

Wu Mo’s eyes were deep as he slowly said, “However, I hope that after mining, we can get forty percent of the oil share. What do you think?”

“Forty percent?”

The bald leader was stunned. A forty-percent share was almost half of the oil production value.

They would only help with the mining. They would not be fully responsible for it. Wasn’t this request too much?

However, he could only whisper to himself.

He knew that once he said that, his nation would fall out with China. That would undoubtedly be fatal for them.

“Mr. Wu, please reconsider! Forty percent is too much for us,” he cried.

If he returned with such a reply, he would probably be attacked by the people.

“You have oil fields, but you can’t exploit them. It’s the same as having treasures but can’t see them. Now that we’re helping you exploit them, you can still enjoy more than half of the profits.”

Wu Mo slowly blew out a smoke ring and spoke as if no one was around.

The way he smoked made it seem like smoking could help him maintain his inner peace. It gave him the greatest enjoyment and relaxation.

Although he did not have the habit of smoking, he would occasionally smoke one or two cigarettes when he needed to think.

“Mr. Wu, I admit that your point of view is reasonable, but I need to discuss it with the leaders of our country. What do you think?”

“Sure, but I need you to call me and give me an answer in ten minutes. You know my time is precious.”

Wu Mo’s response was cold. It left almost no room for discussion.

The bald leader felt ashamed. He knew that he had completely lost this negotiation.

In the end, there was no way out. The bald leader could only dial the phone that determined his fate under everyone’s watchful eyes.

“Alright. Tell Mr. Wu that we accept his conditions.”

The voice on the other end sounded tired and helpless, but there was no choice.

The bald leader felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His mouth was wide open, and his mind was filled with buzzing sounds. It was as if he had just fallen off the edge of a cliff.

He found it hard to believe. The leaders above him were famous for being stingy, and they rarely spoke.

To be more precise, it was about saving to the point of considering the entire country.

However, at this moment, they were helpless before Wu Mo’s conditions. They could only bow down and beg for mercy.

“Mr. Wu, we accept your conditions.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt as if he had been emptied of all his strength.

He had always been a master of negotiation. He could always aim at the other party’s weakness and get the results he wanted.

However, his negotiation with Wu Mo allowed him to experience his opponent’s terrifying power.

‘He’s amazing! Truly amazing!’

He gave Wu Mo a thumbs up in his heart and admitted defeat.

Not long after, Wu Mo would be working with the relevant Chinese organizations to develop the oil fields.

A team of explorers quickly boarded a large civilian ship and arrived in Eternal Sun.

They had a comprehensive plan for the oil field, so they streamed the mining process to the global audience in real time.

Wu Mo was not personally involved because he was still paying close attention to the development of the five great potions.

He found that the sales of the five major potions were gradually stabilizing and continuing to grow.

This was not because people’s enthusiasm for potions had waned.

It was because people had already regarded these potions as an indispensable part of their lives.

Wu Mo glanced at the sales of the potions.

He realized that these potions could not be abandoned.
