Chapter 254 There are conditions
"We are not that greedy," Jenny said with a smile across the desk. "In fact, our requirements for NGN are exactly the same as our requirements for all social Internet companies."

She flipped a few pages of the document in front of her, then removed the clip on the right side of the document, pulled out a dozen pages from the entire document, handed it to An Rusong, and said, "The relevant content is all here, President An can take a look."

An Rushong took the dozen pages of documents, but did not open them to read them. Instead, he put them upside down on the table.

"Is Miss Jenny the person in charge of 'OSIO'?" An Rushong looked at her and smiled, his hand holding a cigarette pressing on the document.

"No, of course not," Jenny shook her head and said, "The reason I came here today is just because we are acquainted. Well, you can think of me as a pathfinder. After all, we need to understand your attitude first. If you are not opposed to our presence, then it is necessary to continue the subsequent talks."

Obviously, Jenny understood An Rushong's meaning, and what she said was exactly what An Rushong wanted to ask.

Let's sort out the clues of the relationship: NSA is affiliated with the US Department of Defense, it represents the US government, or more precisely, the position of the US military. "OSIO" is an agency of NSA stationed in South Korea. Listen to its name - "Open Source Intelligence Office," yes, it is an office level, not even the level of NSA's Asian headquarters. As for Jenny Kim, she is a staff member of this "Open Source Intelligence Office."

The relationship was several levels apart. Even if An Rusong wanted to cooperate with the NSA, he would not discuss the cooperation plan and content with Jenny. First, he didn't know whether what the other party said was true or false. Second, the other party's level was too low. The object of his cooperation was the NSA, not "OSIO".

"Okay," An Rusong nodded and said, "The condition I can accept is to open NGN's database to the NSA. This is my sincerity and the bottom line I can accept. But I need to emphasize that I will only cooperate with the NSA. If you are sure that the data information that NGN can provide is really important, then arrange for someone who is important enough to talk to me."

After a pause, he added jokingly, "My English is actually very good."

What he meant by this joke was that he wanted the other party to arrange for someone to come from the United States, and this person must be someone with a certain level of influence within the NSA.

From Jenny's perspective, what An Rusong said was actually very rude. He was saying that someone was not important enough in front of her. However, Jenny obviously didn't mind it. Her eyelids drooped slightly, she put out the cigarette in her hand, and then smiled and said, "Now that your attitude is clear, then wait until this time next week, a man named Church Leonard will come from Cheyenne Mountain. At that time, you can have a good talk with him."

"Cheyenne Mountain?" An Rusong asked curiously, "Cheyenne Mountain Military Base?"

Jenny shrugged and said, "Yes, you should have enough confidence in your NGN software."

Cheyenne Mountain Military Base is very famous in the United States. It is known as the nerve center of the US military and is also known as the last refuge of the US president. This place is the location of the North American Space Command and the US Northern Theater Command.

What Jenny meant by her last sentence was that the man named Church Leonard had a strong military background. No matter why he left Cheyenne Mountain, the fact that he came to Seoul specifically to meet with An Rushong showed that the NSA really attached great importance to NGN.

An Rushong didn't say anything, but just nodded carefully. He knew that Jenny must have deliberately revealed this news to him. To some extent, this could also be seen as a reward from the other party for saving her life.

"Okay," Jenny stood up from her chair without giving An Rushong a chance to speak again. As she stood up, she stretched out her hand and pointed at the dozen pages of documents that An Rushong had placed on the table. She said, "I have successfully completed the task this time. As for you, you can take a good look at the requirements. Don't forget that you still have to meet with Church Leonard in a week. Haha, since you saved me once, I can remind you that working for the NSA does get you funding."

After saying this, she stood up straight, waved at An Rushong, picked up her handbag and walked towards the door.

"Goodbye, President An. Well, if there is another chance," she stopped at the office door, waved at An Rushong from a distance and said.

An Rushong let out a sigh of relief after watching the mysterious woman walk out of the office, pass through the office area outside, and finally disappear outside the door of the office area on the second floor.

Just now, Jenny specifically reached out and tapped on the dozen pages of documents. Her action was obviously meaningful. At this moment, the other party had left, so he reached out and turned over the dozen pages of documents, reading them one by one.

Of the dozen pages of the document, the first seven or eight pages were indeed what Jenny said, what the NSA needed him to do. This thing should be a unified template, which not only lists what organizations like NGN need to do for the NSA, but also the support that the NSA can provide to the corresponding companies. An Rusong read it carefully, after all, this directly concerns the interests of him and NGN.

According to the documents, once NGN Company reaches a secret cooperation relationship with NSA, then in addition to opening its database to NSA, NGN Company also needs to accept a number of data analysts from NSA in its various data centers. Most importantly, this cooperation is strictly exclusive.

According to the provisions in the document, once NGN reaches a cooperation agreement with the NSA, NGN will no longer be able to carry out similar cooperation with other intelligence agencies. Otherwise, NGN, including An Rushong himself, will be subject to severe sanctions from the US government.

Of course, in addition to these, the document also involves some detailed issues. For example, each data center of the NGN company must install a thing called "Casport", which is an "access identity identification tool" developed by the NSA itself. Its function is that once sensitive information of concern to the NSA appears in the NGN database, this tool will automatically alert the NSA's own specific system.

In addition, each data center of NGN needs to join an NSA "signal intelligence knowledge base", which is a database-like thing. Information that is included in the database will be automatically labeled and stored in the database for three years. In the words of the document, sensitive intelligence can be traced back three years.

As for the return that NGN can get after the two parties establish a cooperative relationship, it is a certain amount of financial compensation, and NGN can get certain implicit support from NSA in the process of business promotion.

An Rushong was just about to see what the so-called "implicit support" was, but when he turned to the eighth page of the document, the content on the ninth page changed and became some identity information about Church Leonard.

When he saw the document, An Rushong was stunned for a moment, then he realized that this document must have been specially brought to him by Jenny, and the purpose was naturally to help him understand Church Leonard.

The document does not provide much information about Church Leonard. It only mentions that this person previously worked in the NSA's Foreign Affairs Department, affiliated with the Counterintelligence Center. His job was to communicate, collaborate, and exchange intelligence information with his peers in the so-called "Five Eyes".

The reason why Church Leonard came to South Korea this time was not specifically to meet with An Rushong. He came here as the new head of the Special Collection Bureau's Asian Monitoring Station. He would not only come to Seoul, but also go to Tokyo, Singapore, Manila and other places.

In the document, Jenny Kim did not introduce what the so-called Special Collection Bureau does. Of course, An Rushong did not expect others to tell him everything. The fact is that the other party had already taken a great risk by smuggling such information to him. After all, this behavior was a leak.

After reading the information about Church Leonard, An Rushong had some idea in his mind. He tore the document into pieces and then burned them into ashes one by one in the ashtray on the table.

He was not a spy, nor had he done intelligence work, but he knew a little about how to keep secrets. Just like the information Jenny provided him, it had to be burned after reading. After all, if he kept it in his hands, it would be of no use other than bringing disaster.

Sitting behind the desk, An Rushong patiently burned the last note to ashes, then picked up the documents at the back and continued reading them with peace of mind.

To An Rushong's surprise, the description of the so-called "implicit support" in the last two pages of the document was very rough. To sum it up in a simple sentence, in countries that have an alliance with the United States, the NSA will provide the necessary support for intelligence partners in business expansion.

Of course, this support is relatively "limited" and must be limited within the scope of relevant laws and regulations of the United States of America. The NSA will not support its intelligence partners in engaging in unfair competition.

An Rusong flipped through the last two pages of the document three or four times before finally understanding what it meant. To put it bluntly, once a company becomes an intelligence partner of the NSA, it can be considered an American company to some extent.

Frowning, An Rusong put the dozen pages of documents back together and locked them in the safe. He was sure that this document was used to fool people. If the NSA was only willing to offer such conditions to its intelligence partners, it would be strange for companies like Google and Facebook to cooperate with them.

Therefore, the relevant conditions would have to wait until Church Leonard arrived before discussing them. He did not mind, and even looked forward to cooperating with the NSA, but the benefits that the other party should give him could not be reduced at all.
