127: Chapter 127 He Wants to Unify the Earth

Gao Yuan stood on the stage, waiting to reap the rewards.

The many people below the stage would all become loyal partners and ATMs for Black Fish Technology.

At this moment, Li Taixi stood up: "President Gao, I have two questions!"

Gao Yuan smiled, "President Li, your Nine Stars and our Black Fish Technology are close partners, why are you being so polite? If you have questions, just ask!"

These words made the group of Xia Country entrepreneurs below the stage stifle their laughter.

Last time, Nine Stars had been heavily scammed by Gao Yuan. It was only because Nine Stars had deep pockets that they could cut their losses and exit, but even so, it had hurt them to the core!

Gao Yuan bringing this up now was like rubbing salt into someone's wound.

Li Taixi's face turned beet red. He had a choice piece of Xia Country profanity he wanted to let burst out, but... he didn't dare! He finally held it in.

"President Gao is right! We at Nine Stars are cooperating with Black Fish Technology with the utmost sincerity!"

"Of course, I never doubted Nine Stars' sincerity!"

"President Gao, I want to ask, what is the factory price for your Constant Temperature Clothing and wrist machines? Also, there's the issue of pricing rights and your production capacity!"

Gao Yuan nodded.

These questions hit the nail on the head.

"The factory price for the Constant Temperature Clothing and wrist machines is the same as the retail price in the Xia Country market! As for production capacity, I have only two words: 'more than enough.' However, for all products, payment must be made before delivery! We guarantee to provide the quantity you need within three days. For all regions globally except Xia and America, pricing rights are given to the agents! Furthermore, Black Fish Technology prohibits agents from cross-regional sales. Once verified, their agency rights will be terminated! Now, are there any more questions?"

Hearing Gao Yuan's words, there was a flurry of discussion below.

Li Taixi frowned: "I have no objections to the rest, but isn't the factory price too high? How can it be the retail price of the Xia Country market? That's unreasonable!"

"How is it unreasonable? Should we set it according to the American retail price instead?"

Hearing this, Li Taixi was dumbfounded.

The price in America was numerically the same as in Xia Country, but the unit was US Dollars. Although the US Dollar had been showing significant weakness lately, the exchange rate was still 6.5 to 1, which meant the price would increase by 6.5 times!

Looking at it this way, the Xia Country market retail price was still a very good deal.

"Sorry, President Gao, I have no more questions!"

"That's good, everyone please continue bidding!"

These entrepreneur representatives began calculating how many potential users there were in the Bear region and what the annual profit would be. Although the Constant Temperature Clothing claimed one piece could be worn for a lifetime, who could really wear one for a lifetime? After all, styles still needed to be changed.

No matter how good the clothes were, one would get bored after wearing them for a long time.

Moreover, with pricing rights in the hands of the agents and exclusive agencies, the profit margins were huge.

If they sold well, they might even earn much more than Black Fish Technology.

"To improve efficiency, the bidding time for each region is five minutes. Once the time is up, those who haven't bid will be considered to have abstained!"

...

Soon, the bidding for the first region was completed. Zhang Baiyi saw the bids from various agents backstage.

The highest bid was easy to select.

"The agent for Region 1 has been decided. Congratulations to Xia Country's Tencent!"

Sparse applause rang out at the scene. Tencent Vice President Lin Zhouping stood up to express his thanks.

"How much did Tencent bid?"

The one shouting was the Ali representative.

Zhang Baiyi smiled, "Sorry, we will not announce the agents' prices!"

The people below cursed him as an old fox in their hearts; without announcing the price, there wasn't even a reference price.

"Now for Region 2! Everyone look at the map... Bidding starts now!"

The auction proceeded in an orderly fashion.

Qin Tiejun and Wu Lian, sitting below, began to discuss in low voices.

"Gao Yuan's move is too ruthless!"

"This is normal. Maximizing profit is what every enterprise pursues. By comparison, Black Fish Technology is already very gentle. After all... they could actually just..."

Wu Lian didn't finish his sentence.

But Qin Tiejun understood.

With Black Fish Technology's strength, if they wanted money, they could just rob it directly. Who could stop them? Yet Gao Yuan was still giving them a chance to strike it rich.

It was indeed a rare level of honesty.

At this moment, Qin Tiejun roughly understood Gao Yuan's intention for specifically inviting them.

Before this, Qin Tiejun had never quite understood what Gao Yuan wanted to do.

But as the agents' conference progressed, Qin Tiejun began to understand a bit.

Gao Yuan was winning over powerful enterprises in this world, forming a community of shared interests with them. Then, Gao Yuan would use this money to buy stakes in powerful domestic companies. In this way, it could be said that almost half of the Fortune Global 500 had become a peripheral moat for Black Fish Technology.

In time, Gao Yuan could even become the overlord of the world economy.

By controlling the economy, he would control the vast majority of countries in the world. Combined with Gao Yuan's unparalleled military force, the world would be his to command!

Does he want to... unify the Earth?

Qin Tiejun was frightened by his own speculation.

To rule the globe—this was an ambitious man the likes of which had never been seen before and would never be seen again.

Qin Tiejun began to sweat; he had previously said Gao Yuan had no ambition.

He wiped away the sweat.

Beside him, Wu Lian squinted: "Old Qin, you saw it?"

"Yeah..."

"Gao Yuan... is plotting something big!"

"Indeed!"

"Fortunately, from what it looks like now, he at least views the Xia Country authorities as allies!"

"That's the only good news!"

...

The agents' conference continued.

At noon, the meeting was suspended, and robots brought Nutritional Paste to the representatives and guests.

A group of big shots looked at the toothpaste-like thing in front of them, confused.

Gao Yuan picked up a tube of Nutritional Paste.

"Everyone, you've all seen your lunch! This toothpaste-like substance is Nutritional Paste produced using carbon dioxide from the air and the action of bacteria. It contains 28 kinds of trace elements required by the human body. Each tube can provide our bodies with seven hundred kilocalories of energy and 50 grams of protein!"

Qin Tiejun held the Nutritional Paste and began to ponder.

What was Gao Yuan doing?

"As for the taste, that's a matter of opinion, but the nutrition is sufficient. Everyone, give it a try!"

Old York tore open the Nutritional Paste and squeezed a mouthful into his mouth.

His expression immediately began to twist...

He saw Hans next to him had already eaten half a tube.

"Damn Germans!"

After a curse, Old York also swallowed it. Once he started, it actually wasn't that hard to eat!

Gao Yuan watched these big shots eating the Nutritional Paste and revealed a smile. Dogs wouldn't even eat this stuff, yet these big shots were all eating it now...

What did this show?

The reason Gao Yuan brought out the Nutritional Paste now was mainly because he hadn't prepared a luncheon. The cafeteria in the science park was really... not much better than the Nutritional Paste.

But Wu Lian didn't think so.

He was currently discussing with Qin Tiejun: "Gao Yuan bringing out this Nutritional Paste also has ulterior motives!"

"What?"

"This means Gao Yuan already has the ability to break away from traditional agricultural models. This is preparation for space migration!"

Qin Tiejun nodded: "That's a possibility, but I think there's another layer of meaning! Think about it, Constant Temperature Clothing plus Nutritional Paste... the world will no longer have hunger or extreme temperatures. Gao Yuan probably wants to tell the whole world that with him around, everyone can live a stable life! This is building momentum!"
