Chapter 347 Benefits? Not interested!
Lee Hyun-ki seemed prepared, immediately smiling as he explained, "President Jiang, you might not be aware."
"Ever since that female streamer Amy from the USA accidentally experienced and livestreamed the magical effects of the Prosthetic limb in Rong City, the related videos have completely blown up on YouTube!"
"It has sparked global attention and discussion. Now, countless disability organizations and commercial giants are eagerly waiting for your products to be exported!"
Jiang Jing was indeed aware of this; Jiang Yan had reported it to him. The international demand was very high, and many giant enterprises had expressed strong intentions to act as agents through various channels.
However, Jiang Jing had temporarily put the export plan on hold, citing "prioritizing domestic demand" as the reason.
"The market demand does exist," Jiang Jing nodded noncommittally.
He then raised a key question: "But, Chairman Li, why should I choose to cooperate with Yixing Group?"
Lee Hyun-ki was taken aback by the question but immediately burst into laughter: "President Jiang, what are you saying! We have such a good foundation for cooperation, mutual trust, and a harmonious relationship! Choosing us is the logical thing to do!"
He began to list the benefits of cooperating with Yixing Group at length: "Our Yixing Group possesses a top-tier sales network covering all of Asia, unparalleled brand influence, and a powerful ability to handle complex international business and government relations!"
"By choosing us, you can sit back and relax. You only need to provide the products, and we can solve all the remaining troubles for you. As for profits, we will absolutely satisfy you!"
He rambled on and on, but seeing that Jiang Jing remained indifferent and calm, he couldn't help but feel anxious.
His eyes darted around, and he decided to unleash what he believed was the most lethal move for a lecherous man like Jiang Jing.
He lowered his voice, wore a smile that every man understood, leaned closer to Jiang Jing, and said: "Moreover, President Jiang, as long as you are willing to cooperate with us in depth, in our South Korea, you will be able to enjoy... some special benefits."
"Oh? What kind of benefits?" Jiang Jing asked with a curious expression.
Lee Hyun-ki chuckled, his tone filled with the arrogance of someone controlling others' fates: "It's very simple! As long as you take a fancy to any woman—of course, I am referring to those from the ordinary class, celebrities with no background, models, or even female college students..."
"I can guarantee that they will willingly come to your side and serve you comfortably. Here, we, Yixing Group, have that capability!"
When he said this, his tone was flat, filled with contempt for ordinary people and a flaunting of the power of the chaebol.
However, the expression of joy or tacit understanding he expected from Jiang Jing did not appear.
Although Jiang Jing was lecherous and had many female confidantes around him, he had his own bottom line and principles.
He could use money, talent, and charm to attract them; to put it bluntly, it was a willing exchange.
But he would never—and indeed, deeply despised—using power to force or coerce women.
What was the difference between that and being a beast?
Lee Hyun-ki's words could not move him in the slightest...
Seeing Jiang Jing's expressionless face, Lee Hyun-ki was stunned.
What was going on? This condition... could actually not move Jiang Jing?
According to the intelligence he had gathered, Jiang Jing was clearly a playboy who was extremely lecherous and surrounded by women!
Shouldn't this kind of benefit, where one could do whatever they wanted, be exactly what he desired? It made no sense...
The last shred of interest Jiang Jing had in playing along with him vanished.
He slowly stood up, smoothed out the non-existent wrinkles on his collar, and said in an indifferent tone: "Chairman Li, have you finished stating your terms?"
"I..." Lee Hyun-ki opened his mouth, wanting to say something more.
Jiang Jing interrupted him directly, saying resolutely: "Whether the Prosthetic limb is exported, when it is exported, and in what manner it is exported is for me to decide. Currently, I have no such plans."
"Goodbye."
Seeing that Jiang Jing was turning to leave without any hesitation, Lee Hyun-ki became extremely anxious.
He stood up abruptly: "President Jiang, please wait! We... what we want is the technology! The core technology of the Prosthetic limb and brain control!"
Jiang Jing paused, slowly turned around, and instead of anger, a sarcastic smile appeared on his face, as if he had heard a huge joke.
"Chairman Li, have you not woken up yet, or are you joking with me?"
"How could you think that I would sell you such a goose that lays golden eggs?"
Lee Hyun-ki knew this was his last chance. He gritted his teeth and threw out his trump card, which he believed was impossible to refuse:
"We are willing to trade it for shares in Yixing Group! Eight percent! No! Ten percent! Ten percent of Yixing Group's shares in exchange for the patents or exclusive authorization for these two technologies!"
As soon as these words were spoken, even some of the executives behind him gasped.
Ten percent of Yixing Group's shares—that was an astronomical figure, starting at at least ten billion USD.
It also represented immeasurable wealth and influence!
This was definitely a huge sacrifice, a move akin to draining the pond to catch the fish.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jing was indeed taken aback for a moment.
He hadn't expected the other party to be willing to trade the foundation of their own group.
This "sincerity," from a commercial perspective, was undoubtedly significant.
However, what did this have to do with Jiang Jing?
Was he short on money? Did he need the shares and influence of Yixing Group?
In the country, he had the support of the state and his own value; he had no need to rely on any foreign chaebol.
His technology would either be contributed to the state for free to strengthen the national power, like the previous Super Material.
Or, like the beauty serum, he would only sell the products, keeping the core technology firmly in his hands to continuously reap profits.
Sell the technology to Yixing Group? That was simply wishful thinking!
Therefore, under the nervous gaze of everyone present, Jiang Jing shook his head and refused cleanly and decisively, without a hint of hesitation: "Not interested."
These three words were like three heavy hammers, slamming hard into Lee Hyun-ki's heart.
His final trump card, the earth-shattering price he thought would be enough to move anyone, was actually so worthless in Jiang Jing's eyes!
Seeing Jiang Jing's attitude of being impervious to both persuasion and coercion, Lee Hyun-ki was completely desperate.
Since soft tactics didn't work and bribery was ineffective, he had only one last path to take!
Gritting his teeth, the humility and enthusiasm on Lee Hyun-ki's face vanished without a trace, replaced by a ferocious and vicious look.
He slammed the table and shouted sternly: "Jiang Jing! Don't be ungrateful! Do you think we didn't make other preparations when we invited you here today?!"
As his voice fell, the door of the conference room was violently kicked open from the outside!
