"Oh, what did Mr. Mark Zuckerberg say?" Jiang Cheng smiled slightly; when Mark Zuckerberg uttered these words, it meant he had already taken the bait.
Next, his task was to make this fish grow larger and larger.
"Let's put it this way. I know your company has always closely collaborated with the Yan Family government, and this equipment is presumably intended for the Yan Family's military use, so I won't force the issue."
"How about we discuss it like this? You can sell me the item, but remove all weapon attachments from the armor. I only need an empty shell."
Mark Zuckerberg calmly said; if negotiations had reached this stage, it meant the deal was almost done. Now it depended on Jiang Cheng's vigilance.
If his vigilance was strong enough, then what Mark Zuckerberg just proposed would be entirely meaningless.
But if Jiang Cheng's political sensitivity wasn't strong enough, then at this point, everything would be clear, wouldn't it?
The conversation had reached this point; the rest depended entirely on Jiang Cheng's attitude.
However, Jiang Cheng had already anticipated that Mark Zuckerberg would say this. In the United States' territory, when displaying Iron Man technology, other aspects were not critical. Although the firearms and missiles used were excellent, compared to Iron Man's propulsion system and armor hardness, they were inadequate. Undoubtedly, the most important thing inside the armor was the energy propulsion system and the hardness of the alloy.
Therefore, the United States saw these two aspects and was willing to pay any price to buy this from Jiang Cheng.
However, Jiang Cheng chuckled, wondering if they really thought their own technology was much stronger than his?
Ridiculous, to be honest, Jiang Cheng never considered his technology superior to theirs. The key issue was why his Iron Man could be so agile.
Of course, it's because of humans.
The funny thing is, the United States thought his Iron Man was agile because he had modified the internal operating system of Iron Man.
This isn't hard to understand, the general idea being?
When controlling Iron Man Armor, according to common sense, there are two modes: one is direct human operation, where actions follow the commands.
The other is through button operation, like playing a game, where Iron Man's movements are completed by operators inside.
These two methods have their pros and cons. Speaking of agility and reaction speed, human control is much better.
However, because the Iron Man Armor uses extremely hard alloys, relying solely on manpower to drive can be insufficient, which is inevitable.
In this case, the better approach is to let internal fighters operate through keyboard control, and the United States uses this method because they can't avoid this shortcoming.
Even the strongest fighters found by the United States can't smoothly operate such powerful armor.
So in their view, if even their strong whites can't do it, the weaker Asians are even more unlikely to achieve this.
There's only one possibility: Yan Family Armor is controlled by keyboard, but due to Jiang Cheng's research, this keyboard operation is more advanced than theirs, otherwise, such agile armor wouldn't be possible.
The United States had a good guess, yet missed the critical point. They thought Jiang Cheng controlled the mecha with a super keyboard, forgetting that the Yan Family soldiers, altered by Genetic Enhancement Potion, now possessed unimaginable strength.
In this case, operating such simple armor is effortless, isn't it?
With such unreliable information, the United States' scientists are destined to suffer a big loss this time, as Jiang Cheng is sure.
Because of this, he gave no one the slightest chance, aiming to make Mark Zuckerberg completely unsuspecting.
Thus, after hearing his offer, Jiang Cheng continued his act, deliberately showing hesitation, as if making a tough decision.
Seeing Jiang Cheng's expression, Mark Zuckerberg's face displayed a strange smile; indeed, this kid was too inexperienced, young people yield to temptation easily, falling for it.
Of course, who's the fish and who's the bait? That remains to be seen.
"Since that's the case, tell me your terms." After a brief hesitation, Jiang Cheng slowly asked, appearing to have made a difficult choice.
Mark Zuckerberg was excited, thinking the kid was completely hooked. However, upon noticing a sly glance in Mark Zuckerberg's eyes,
Jiang Cheng chuckled secretly. In business negotiations, there's always a back and forth, scheming against each other; whoever has deeper cunning will have the last laugh.
Mark Zuckerberg showed a very painful expression, as if deciding required a great sacrifice, saying sorrowfully: "Respected Mr. Jiang, to protect my life, I'm willing to pay 5 billion US Dollars to buy two Iron Man Armors."
If there were others around Jiang Cheng now, they would be stunned; those pieces of scrap metal selling for 5 billion dollars, it's essentially daylight robbery.
However, only Jiang Cheng understood that 5 billion was not much. In truth, he might incur some loss because inside this Iron Man are advanced technologies that the United States hasn't developed yet.
Seeing the expression on Mark Zuckerberg's face, Jiang Cheng sneered, decisively raised a finger, and set the price: "10 billion, I'm not selling even one less, and there's only one piece available; no exceptions for more."
If Mark Zuckerberg's original price was somewhat reasonable, then Jiang Cheng's current price was sheer fantasy. No sane person would pay such a price for such an item.
Even if the United States could completely crack it, they would already be lagging behind the Yan Family's technological level.
