Chapter 388 The Perfect Buyer
Chapter 388 The Perfect Buyer
Give it away for free or sell it for money?
Gao Yi did not dwell on this issue for too long. For his own safety and to maintain a proper distance, he decided to sell it instead of giving it away.
I dare not say it is a credit, but someone must have remembered Gao Yi's favor.
Gao Yi’s channel is Mu Tianwen.
It's funny to say that Gao Yi is now truly serving his country in a roundabout way.
Gao Yi looked at the computer in front of him. There was a USB flash drive plugged into the computer. The content in the USB flash drive was not a formula or text, but a video.
In the video, a woman explains her new discovery in detail in French.
Lucy translated.
"In January 2017, Harvard University laboratory produced metallic hydrogen, but due to operational errors, the only sample disappeared. Unfortunately, we were half a year behind Harvard laboratory, but our technology is different, similar, but completely different, and our metallic hydrogen sample is very stable. Technically, we are obviously better. This is a Nobel Prize-level discovery."
The woman in the video looks excited, but more sweet. There is no doubt that she is lying in the arms of a man, and this man can only be Iron Fist George.
Iron Fist George asked curiously, "How did you do that? Wasn't it difficult?"
"It's not that difficult, actually. We used diamond anvils to achieve a pressure of over 600 GPA and designed a new infrared spectrometer, but these have been made public. We have never made the real core secrets public."
Iron Fist George said indifferently: "If it's a secret, don't tell it. Well, actually, more importantly, I can't understand you even if you tell me. Of course, I will be happy for your achievement. You may win the Nobel Prize, dear."
"I know you don't understand, but I can't help but tell you that when liquid hydrogen is pressurized to 425GPa, metallic hydrogen can be obtained. However, we made a mistake during one operation, and liquid helium was mixed into the liquid hydrogen. Then, a miracle happened. I don't know whether this should be considered chemistry or physics. In short, after the creeping film phenomenon of liquid helium was constrained, liquid metallic hydrogen appeared under a pressure of 260GPa. Although it is liquid, it is metallic hydrogen... Continue to pressurize it to 310GPa, and you will get solid metallic hydrogen."
The woman in the video turned around and said seriously, "This is a miracle, an unintentional discovery that can change the future. But even if it is a coincidence, the existence of metallic hydrogen in our laboratory is enough for us to win the Nobel Prize."
Lucy had a hard time translating because she needed to look up many scientific French words before she could say them, so the translation took a long time.
But before selling a product, you always have to check its authenticity. There is no doubt that this video should be real.
That is to say, there is no need for a formula, no need for a complete and complicated process, just a word from a female researcher, and the secret is no longer a secret.
After completing the inspection, Gao Yi's first thing was to call Mu Tianwen.
Mu Tianwen answered the phone.
Every time he called, it was for something, either to save his life or to seek advice. Mu Tianwen had already formed a fixed mindset when it came to calls from his big brother, so as soon as he answered the phone, he would ask, "What's up? Is it urgent?"
Gao Yi was really a little embarrassed, but he soon became excited. This time, he could finally repay this little brother who was younger than him in generation.
"I have something urgent, but it's a good thing. Contact your teacher immediately and tell him that I have something to ask him. It's urgent and a good thing."
Mu Tianwen didn't understand, he said strangely: "You can have good things... No, what good things can you get from him... No, forget it, I will contact the teacher right away, but brother, do you want to talk to him in person?"
Gao Yi hesitated for a moment and said, "Let me tell you in person. It's not impossible to tell you through you, but I'm afraid it will cause you any trouble. Well, I'll tell you in person."
"Okay, wait a moment then."
Mu Tianwen hung up the phone. Half an hour later, Mu Tianwen finally called Gao Yi again and gave Gao Yi a phone number.
Gao Yi dialed the number, and the call was quickly connected. Then a very gentle voice said, "Hello."
"Hello."
This was not the first time they had dealt with each other, but it was the first time they had a direct conversation. Gao Yi also didn't know how to address Mu Tianwen as his teacher. However, there was no need to be polite now. It was better to get down to business.
Gao Yi whispered, "I have something in my hand. Now the United States, Britain, and Germany want to buy it. If you are interested, I can also sell it to you."
"what?"
"Metallic hydrogen is a result of French research. Well, you should know something about me, so you should know that I am not a liar. I would like to say hello to you today. Please help me find a buyer. Oh, the price is $100 million, and all countries have the same price."
Gao Yi thought for a moment and added, "This is a business, no bargaining. In addition, I am responsible for guaranteeing the authenticity of the goods. If you want to buy, I can give you the goods first, and then pay after inspecting the goods."
After finishing speaking, Gao Yi always felt that emphasizing business could not reflect his sincerity, and then he couldn't help but add one more sentence, saying: "In fact, money is not the problem, the problem is that this must be a transaction."
"Okay, thank you. I understand what you mean. Let me think about it first. Can we talk about it later?"
"Okay, but you have to hurry up. Give me the news within three days."
After the call was disconnected, Gao Yi exhaled lightly, and then he said to Lin Xianghua: "It's my first time, so I'm a little nervous."
Lin Xianghua whispered, "Why sell it for money? If you sell it for money... it's not pure." Gao Yi smiled and said, "You don't understand, free things are not rare, but a new technology that is in great demand on the national black market, it would be a big favor for me to sell it."
“This is not a question of personal relationships.”
"It's really not as simple as human feelings, but remember this: if someone is too nice to you for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief, and if someone is too nice to you, it's not a good deal."
Gao Yi was rambling on, and he was now thinking about whether he should do the favor to Glass or Panetta.
Giving it to Glass would be a favor to the Pentagon, and giving it to Panetta would be a favor to the CIA. Now Panetta urgently needs some achievements to attack his political enemies, but he has already reached the bottom of his rank. If he gives it to Glass, Glass will have to be promoted to another level immediately.
It's a bit awkward. Logically, Glass is closer, but Panetta needs the credit more. It's not appropriate to give it to anyone directly. Otherwise, we should discuss it internally and then redistribute it.
Gao Yi had made up his mind, but now he had to think about who he should talk to first.
Just then, Gao Yi's phone rang.
This is too fast. It’s been less than five minutes since the call was hung up.
After the call was connected, Mu Tianwen's teacher whispered, "Can you tell me if the Amsterdam explosion and dismemberment case has anything to do with you?"
Gao Yi was shocked and asked, "You know all this?"
"I don't know, but someone knows. Are you admitting it by saying this?"
"Yes, I did."
"That's fine. The buyer acknowledges the authenticity of the goods. As long as the goods are found to be ok, the $100 million will be paid immediately."
Gao Yi was stunned, and then he inexplicably began to feel guilty. Finally, he whispered, "How about you ask the buyer to reconsider? It's only three days, there's no need to be so anxious."
"I don't know the details, but I know that since the buyer knows who died in Amsterdam and the general context of the incident, it's fine if they are willing to buy. This is a good deal. How do I ship the goods and how do I pay?"
Gao Yi looked at Luca and whispered, "How do I collect the payment?"
Luca was shocked, then overjoyed, "So fast? This is too efficient. Let me tell you how to collect the payment."
Gao Yi exhaled and continued on the phone: "Okay, I'll ship it to you. Give me an email address and I'll send it directly. Uh, the goods are a video."
"Okay, send it to me."
Gao Yi downloaded and forwarded a video through an email address. Intelligence worth $100 million, which may determine the future of technology, was sent just like that.
The goods need to be inspected after delivery, but the video is seven minutes long, but they only spent nearly four minutes on inspection. Gao Yi strongly suspected that those who inspected the goods fast-forwarded through the video and only watched it at normal speed during the critical period.
That’s how Gao Yi saw it, so he was suspicious.
The phone rang again.
"I have inspected the goods. The buyer asked me to say thank you on their behalf. This is a good product. They were looking for it and didn't expect to buy it from you. Please send me the account number and the buyer will pay immediately."
Gao Yi swallowed his saliva and said to Luca: "Send the account to the same email address as before..."
"No, don't email it, just dictate it and I'll write it down."
So Gao Yi dictated the account number that Luca had written down. Before he could say anything more, the person on the other end of the phone said in a deep voice, "The money has been transferred. The deal is done. This is a good deal. We may have a chance to cooperate again in the future. This phone call will be forever invalid. The next contact will be through the old channel. I am entrusted by the buyer. Thank you again and goodbye."
After the call was hung up, Gao Yi couldn't help but look at his watch. The whole process took less than ten minutes.
From the time we got in touch to the end of the transaction, the whole process took less than ten minutes. What a concept and experience.
Gao Yi put down the phone and looked at Luca silently.
About four minutes later, Luca suddenly shouted, "It's in the account! One hundred and sixty-six thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight dollars! Great, having change can reduce the risk. The payee is a trading company in Madrid, great!"
Don't use an integer. It's safer with both zeros and integers. 100066888. I gave more than US dollars, but the most important thing is that this number is a blessing that only Chinese people can understand.
Lin Xianghua let out a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "It seems like it's better than giving it away for free. Everyone is very happy. If this technology can really be used, it would be even better."
"One hundred million dollars is worth it even if it's just to buy some technical reserves, or even if it's just to get some inspiration."
After Luca finished speaking excitedly, he immediately said to Gao Yi: "I still have to do business with such a buyer in the future. He is efficient and generous. He is a perfect buyer, absolutely a perfect buyer!"
