Chapter 1386 Bargaining
After completing the endurance, shooting and actual combat tests with great visual effects, for the sake of rigorous consideration, military procurement representatives also conducted individual conversations and common sense written tests on the Bai Jue super soldiers. Several psychological experts and artificial intelligence experts evaluated the Bai Jue super soldiers. The mental and psychological condition of soldiers.
The evaluation results show that the intelligence of Bai Jue soldiers is also beyond imagination. As biochemical robots, they disguise themselves as human beings and it is almost difficult to tell whether they are real or fake. They have surpassed the current silicon-based carriers (that is, computer chips) developed by major technology companies. of artificial intelligence.
In other words, these super soldiers have the minds of normal soldiers, but have stronger psychological qualities than normal soldiers. They absolutely obey orders and are not bound by factors such as morality, beliefs, and personal emotions.
A round of testing and evaluation was completed, and the military representatives concluded that the White Jue Super Soldier is the most perfect Army individual combat unit on the future battlefield. The purchase of the Super Soldier has become a foregone conclusion. There is no doubt that the only thing that needs to be determined is the purchase price and purchase price. Quantity.
Bredlow and Amanda once again sat at the negotiating table and launched a new round of negotiations on these two issues.
"What, the price for a super soldier is 30 million US dollars? The total price for the first batch of 100 super soldiers is 3 billion US dollars?" Amanda's roar echoed in the conference room: "Are you crazy? Why don't you Go rob a bank!”
"Calm down, Ms. Amanda, this price is obviously very reasonable. I don't understand why you are so excited."
Bredlow said with an innocent face: "To train an F35 fighter pilot, the Air Force will spend 10 million US dollars and ten years. However, the value of the super soldiers provided by our company is far more than that of a fighter pilot. The quoted price of 30 million is only equivalent to Three pilots..."
"Nonsense, can your White Zetsu super soldier fly a fighter jet?"
"Frankly speaking, it really can. The super soldiers I provide can drive any kind of war machine that exists on the earth. In addition to recording dead-shooting shooting skills into their memories, I also recorded a certain world's number one mercenary. Various military skills mastered, including fighter piloting."
"Well……"
Amanda was speechless for a moment. If calculated this way, the White Jue super soldier is indeed worth 30 million, even worth every penny.
But Amanda doesn't want to settle accounts like this. She also plans to build a hundred thousand White Zetsu army. If a White Zetsu soldier costs 30 million US dollars, then one hundred thousand White Zetsu soldiers will cost three trillion US dollars. Based on the Hope Country's annual 700 billion US dollars. According to the calculation of military expenditure, even if the entire military budget is used to buy super soldiers, it will take four years of saving to get it all.
"Don't forget, we provide the 'raw materials' for making Bai Zetsu!"
Amanda racked her brains and came up with a reasonable reason: "If we don't provide the 'raw materials', you won't be able to make a single Baijue! You just process the 'raw materials' and increase the price like this. It’s simply a fraud, a lion’s mouth opened wide!”
"Ma'am, you are unreasonable. The raw materials of an aircraft carrier are only tens of thousands of tons of steel and some silicon, copper, plastic, glass, and polymers. The raw materials are worth only ten to twenty million U.S. dollars, but an aircraft carrier is worth one More than 10 billion."
Bredlow said expressionlessly: "Then I will give you 20 million US dollars. Can you sell me a brand new aircraft carrier?"
"Although the evaluation data of the White Jue Super Soldiers are excellent, after all, they are only individual soldiers who can only use light weapons. The quoted price of 30 million is too high, almost equivalent to the price of a main battle tank. This is obviously unreasonable!”
Amanda still refused to give up and tried her best to get the chance to lower the price.
"Oh, do you doubt that our super soldiers are not as powerful as main battle tanks?"
Bredlow curled his lips and said: "Then let's conduct another test and let my White Jue super soldier fight with bare hands against the M1A2-V4, the most advanced fourth-generation main battle tank of the Hope State. Let's take a look at the White Jue super soldier. Can you dismantle a tank with bare hands? You must know that the unit price of V4 is more than 40 million US dollars.
We can sign a gambling agreement. If Bai Jue wins, I will raise the price to 40 million US dollars, which is the same as the V4 tank he dismantled. If Bai Jue loses, I will lower the price to 10 million US dollars. How about it? "
Amanda really didn't dare to arrange such a gambling test. The White Jue soldiers were too mobile. They ran and jumped at speeds that were difficult to distinguish with the naked eye. It was difficult for the heavy tank cannon to aim and lock on the target, and the machine gun couldn't. Immediately kill Bai Jue, who has strong self-healing ability. Once Bai Jue soldiers approach and jump onto the tank turret, the tank's weapons will be ineffective and they can only be slaughtered by them. God knows whether they will use strange force to directly bend the gun barrel, or violently open the tank hatch and get into the tank to kill the driver.
After Bredlow's reminder, Amanda felt that the super soldiers were really worth such a high price. Bai Jue could pose a threat to tanks with his bare hands. All he had to do was give them a ten-kilogram C4 explosive backpack, and it would be easy to blow up the tank.
Since reasoning could not be used, Amanda made a final attempt and began to play the emotional card. She lowered her voice and said: "Mr. Luo, you are a patriotic businessman. Don't you want our country to be great again? I know very well that biochemical The cost of using technology to create super soldiers shouldn’t be too high. It’s just about preparing some chemical raw materials. You obviously don’t like to make war fortune and make unconscionable money, so for the sake of patriotism, give us a conscientious price!”
"First of all, I want to criticize you for disrespecting intellectual property rights. Your tone is as ugly as those generic drug traffickers in India!"
Bredlow refuted solemnly: "Maybe the manufacturing cost of Bai Jue is not high, but the initial research and development costs of this technology are astonishingly high. We just included the research and development costs into the quotation. If everyone is like you, Think about it, if you want to seize other people's patented results for free, who will do research and development? If you take advantage of the first-generation super soldiers, you will never see the stronger second- and third-generation White Zetsu super soldiers. Because our company will never invest heavily in research and development again!”
Amanda narrowed her eyes and said suspiciously: "You clearly said before that 'White Zetsu' is just a by-product of the 'Infinite Monthly Reading' project. The total price you quoted for the unlimited monthly reading project is only one billion US dollars per year. Why are you talking about research and development of 'White Zetsu' now?" Invested a lot of money?"
Bredreau accidentally revealed his lies, but he said righteously without blushing: "I originally invested a huge amount of money in the unlimited monthly reading plan. The reason why I gave the government a conscience price is because I am a person of high moral character and good moral character." I have a strong sense of social responsibility. I don’t want to see criminals repeatedly escape from prison and the people suffer. I would rather suffer losses and lose money than sell this service to the government at a low price! Why is the quotation for selling Bai Jue so high? On the one hand, it is to make up for the unlimited months. On the other hand, if you read the project’s losses, you have to pay a ‘conscience tax’!”
"Conscience tax?" Amanda frowned and asked, "What about the conscience tax?"
"My conscience hurts from selling weapons to the military, so I have to redouble my charity to repay my debt of conscience to ease the pain."
Bredlow said matter-of-factly: "Therefore, I will invest 80% of the proceeds from the sales of White Jue into the 'Orphan Care Fund' to provide for children around the world who have become orphans due to superhero battles. To provide living and study expenses, I have to support poor orphans all over the world, which requires a lot of money!"
