The Devil Comes to America

Chapter 328: Not believing does not mean not cooperating
It is a rare thing to see any expression on Jia Yu's face.

So Xiong En quickly asked, "Is there any problem?"

Jia Yu said, "Tell me what happened."

Xiong En did not hide it and told Jia Yu what happened.

After listening to this, Jia Yu felt that he had touched upon his blind spot in knowledge again.

After all, the kind of silver party dating in America is really a blind spot for him.

He simply didn't have enough data to analyze whether this kind of friendship was reliable.

But Jia Yu knew a key question: "A family from the East Coast came to you for a West Coast cooperation?"

“Maybe I’m too famous?”

Jia Yu looked at Dak: "What do you think?"

Dak spread his hands: "I think late night shows are a bit unreliable."

Well, Jia Yu knew that it was useless to ask this question.

“Where is the investment advisory group?”

“They said they had no problem with their analysis of the stock price and the financial report.”

Jia Yu frowned and said, "But you're too fast, aren't you? No field research? No verification from multiple sources? I've seen other people's acquisitions take one or two years, how come you've done it in just one month?"

Xiong En said confidently: "We have money. Besides, we have gone for the survey, and there is no problem with their venue or anything."

Jia Yu still frowned, and then said: "This is not my specialty, so I can't give any advice. I can only say that from my understanding, this is all too coincidental."

Xiong En said indifferently, "I know what you are worried about, so no matter how much I need it, I didn't agree when that guy offered 90 billion. As long as this TV station is there, it's just a matter of how much money they make. The Bazel family can still afford this amount of money. Even if they make a few hundred million more, what's the problem? Just think of it as making friends."

Jia Yu was silent for a moment, then sighed: "Forget it, this is the investment behavior of the Bazel family after all, and it is not my business to manage. If you think it is okay, then just treat it as okay."

This episode ends here.

Jia Yu was preparing other things with Dak.

For example, the first phase of the project that has been completed below Dark Gold Pharmaceuticals would not have been completed so quickly if it weren't for the large number of people from the homeless shelter who helped.

This first phase of the project was originally intended to be used for water storage, but now it has been temporarily changed to a test area at Jia Yu's suggestion.

As for what the experiment was going to be, Jia Yu just waited for someone to come.

Sure enough, a week later, Smith came to the Bazel family with a man.

a woman.

A blonde foreign girl that even Jia Yu would have to describe as beautiful when seeing her.

This woman looked to be just thirty years old, but Jia Yu knew that the woman Smith could bring, who was so respectful, was definitely not just this age.

If this woman was forty, Jia Yu would believe it, but if she was fifty, Jia Yu would have to doubt whether this woman was one of the products of the super soldier program.

After all, Europeans and Americans have always been in a hurry to grow up.

This woman obviously came against the grain, which is why Quan Rui is so popular.

In the conference room, Xiong En looked at the woman opposite him and felt a little confused.

There's no way around it. This woman meets Xiong En's standards for a partner in every aspect.

If there wasn't a Smith following this woman, Xiong En swore that he would have already gone up to flirt with her.

Smith then introduced, "Senator Xiong En, this is my superior, Ms. Julia."

Jia Yu also said in the headset: "Wipe your drool, Xiong En, you are acting like a congressman."

Xiong En finally reacted. He wiped his mouth and stretched out his hand: "Hello, Ms. Julia."

Julia frowned, and although she didn't want to, she still reached out her hand.

She was a little curious as to why this Xiong En was a little different from the one on TV.

After a brief greeting, Julia got straight to the point: "We are glad that the Bazel family can make the right choice. Believe me, Councillor Xiong En, your choice will not disappoint you. So, what I want to ask is, how much of this potion do you have left?"

Xiong En knew the other party would ask this question, and then said: "There is actually no inventory in the warehouse, because most of it has been issued to our security personnel."

Julia was a little surprised: "You give this kind of thing to the security personnel?"

Xiong En spread his hands: "What else? I believe you must have studied me before you came. You should know that I was assassinated. If it weren't for the protection of these super soldiers, I would probably be in heaven now. I must ensure the safety of myself and my family, right?"

"Then let me ask it another way." Julia said directly: "What is the monthly production capacity?"

"Ten?" Xiong En said, "Well, that's about right. This thing can't be put into production line yet."

"Can I ask where this thing came from?"

"I remember I told Smith," Xiong En said, "Patch from..."

Julia interrupted Xiong En directly. She stared into Xiong En's eyes and said, "I'm here now, right, Xiong En? I am fully responsible for this matter. I can tell you responsibly that I am the person in charge of this matter. So, Xiong En, think about what you are going to say next. We value sincerity very much."

Xiong En did not answer immediately.

Jia Yu's voice rang out in the headset: "Luckily we were prepared a long time ago. I knew these people wouldn't believe our words so easily. I say one thing, and you say one thing."

Xiong En looked at Julia, smiled and said, "I knew that the story couldn't be hidden from you, Ms. Julia. Well, since our family used to be a group of drug lords, we are willing to share some secrets, but please forgive us for having to keep some secrets."

"of course."

Xiong En then spoke: "To be honest, Patch did provide us with some ideas. We found him before Patch exposed the incident. That guy didn't run away like he said. He also stole some things."

Xiong En clapped his hands, and Will came in with a box.

After Xiong En opened it, he said, "The two hard drives in here were brought out by Patch, along with the medicine over there. I can give them to you. After all, some of the research content in them is no longer useful to us."

"After we got these things, we found that the things inside were somewhat similar to what we had accidentally obtained before."

While he was talking, Xiong En had already stood up: "Is it convenient?"

Julia said seriously: "It is our honor."

"Luckily you guys came to Dark Gold Pharmaceuticals. If you had come to my house, we would have had to spend more time coming here."

Under Xiong En's guidance, the two got on an elevator and the elevator started to go down.

Smith quipped: "You also have underground research institutions."

Xiong En smiled and said, “Don’t forget, we are a pharmaceutical company.”

The elevator door opened and Xiong En continued to lead them forward. On the way, they passed some biological detention areas, which contained some animals such as mice and even monkeys.

Noticing the looks in their eyes, Xiong En said with a smile, "You have to keep this a secret for us, otherwise we'll be in trouble if we're targeted by those guys from the Small Animal Protection Organization."

Julia just said, "Forget animals, even if it's a human, what can it do?"

"We don't have that much courage." Xiong En said, and led these people into a place that looked like an underground vault.

The heavy metal door opened, revealing an antique.

But after seeing this thing, Julia's eyes lit up.

The global camera allowed Jia Yu to keep an eye on the situation of these people.

When Xiu Nuo came back before, Jia Yu asked Xiu Nuo some questions, and Xiu Nuo also took out the sword box to show him.

It is said that this thing breeds spiritual energy.

And now, Jia Yu is constantly deepening the impression of these people's expectations.

This antique is a jade pendant.

This kind of thing is easy to find. You can always find some at American auction houses as long as you spend money. The Bazel family also has a collection of antiques.

Xiong En introduced, "That's it. I bought that jade pendant from an Oriental guy when I was in college. The guy was a bit miserable at the time, but I just thought it was fun. After I bought it, I found that my spirit improved. You should know that I have touched contraband before."

"But after I got this thing, I found that as long as I had it with me, my drug addiction wouldn't kick in, until I finally got rid of those illegal drugs completely."

Xiong En's drug rehabilitation is a real thing. He has a record of being arrested by LAPD for taking contraband, and now he is indeed a completely normal person.

It’s just that the outside world doesn’t know how Xiong En quit drugs. At least he claimed to the public that he quit because he knew the harm of that thing.

But in fact, it took Duck no one knows how many belts he broke to get him to quit drugs.

That was the worst beating Xiong En had ever received since he was a child. As a drug lord, Dak knew best the harm of this thing.

If this was a newly emerged drug dealer, he might have sold drugs while playing with them. But the Bazel family has been passed down for many generations. If they didn't take care of this matter, they would have been finished long ago.

But now that Xiong En said this, it was very convincing.

What lies are the hardest to expose? Isn't it those that are a mixture of truth and falsehood?

"My father was also surprised at how quickly I got rid of my drug addiction. I told him about the jade pendant, and then we started researching it."

"To be honest, at first we thought this thing had some kind of radiation. After all, there were crazy bastards who made uranium ore into toys and sold them openly in the public."

"But after our research, we found that this thing did not contain those radioactive elements. Instead, we found some unknown elements on it."

As he spoke, Xiong En took out a report from Will: "This is it."

This is the detection and analysis of spiritual energy by the Bazel family team. As for where the spiritual energy comes from? Dark Gold Pharmaceuticals really has no shortage of it now, but ordinary people can't get close to it.

But according to the researchers at Basel's school, the things they analyzed were completely incomprehensible and somewhat overturned what they had learned before.

When Julia saw the chart, her eyes widened and she blurted out, "Element Zero!"

"Is that his name?" Xiong En laughed and said nonsense: "I said it should have a name. We found this thing in the potion we bought from Patch. To be honest, we sealed it up at the beginning because of the uncertainty. But after that discovery, we found a whole new way out."

Xiong En continued, "Later we found that this element seemed to be easily integrated into water, so we used the simplest method, which was to soak this jade pendant in water and then extract what we needed from the water."

At this point, Jia Yu said, "To be honest, I don't know why the potion that Patch brought back caused people to fail, because after our own experiments, we found that this thing is actually not very aggressive, at least not to the human body, but beneficial. Ms. Julia, do you know the reason?"

Julia was silent for a moment, then she said, "Element 0 does have beneficial effects on humans, the only difference is that it stays in some people's bodies, but in most cases, the human body cannot absorb it."

"The Super Soldier Project is about the people you met. The drugs they injected contained not only Element Zero but also a lot of animal genes. After all, some animals have abilities that we humans have always longed for, such as regeneration ability."

"Element 0 will trigger these effects. If it can stay in the human body, the side effects of the drug will be neutralized. If it can't stay, it will be as shown in your information. So the Super Soldier Project has been looking for a way to solve all of this, or find a way to not harm humans even if Element 0 leaves."

Xiong En frowned: "This sounds like murder."

"Who said it wasn't?" Julia looked at Xiong En: "So, Councillor Xiong En, how did the Bazel family solve this problem?"

Xiong En smiled and said, "I can only say that we have found some solutions, because we dare not do the crazy things in the laboratory."

"But how to do it specifically, you just promised me that we should have our own secrets. We found a formula that can use this thing, but from the information I know, the super soldiers produced by the Super Project are permanent, and ours are only temporary. Now it can only last about three minutes."

After finishing speaking, Xiong En added: "However, at least the physical fitness of the soldiers injected with the medicine will be slightly improved, but only slightly."

Julia nodded and said, "Okay, this is what I promised before. The Bazel family should have their own secrets. I also know that if I ask you to hand them over..."

Xiong En said without hesitation: "We will destroy this thing. The Bazel family is not a good family. It's fine to make money together, but it's impossible to use our things to make money for you. If that's the case, we would rather be a group of devils."

Julia was not surprised at all: "I knew it. But believe me, Xiong En, we won't do that."

Xiong En nodded: "This is also the reason why I want to cooperate. My requirements are not high. I discovered this thing. I just need to make enough money with it. When I really get old, we will announce the secret of this thing to the country that raised me."

Julia was a little surprised: "Oh? I didn't expect that."

Xiong En spread his hands and said, "I have been a son for more than 20 years. Based on my experience, I know what children are like. I don't expect my children to have my wisdom. Compared to letting him dance on the edge of a knife like me, it is better to let him honestly guard the estate of the Bazel family for generations and let the Bazel family truly become the nobles of this country."

After a pause, Xiong En added: "I hope you can give him a medal by then."

Julia was surprised and said, "This is really not something you would say, Councillor Xiong En. I'm not mocking you, but judging from your previous performance."

Xiong En spread his hands and said, "Of course I didn't say that. Old Dake beat me up a lot in order to make this clear to me. I wanted to use this to threaten you to help me become president. Thanks to my father, he made me face the reality."

Julia burst into laughter, and even Smith laughed.

Julia even said, "Honestly, Xiong En, if nothing goes wrong for you in the next few decades, the position of president won't be difficult for you."

Xiong En said with emotion, "After seeing you, I realized that the president is not as powerful as I thought before, but that doesn't mean I don't want to be one."

"We like ambitious guys." Julia said seriously, "Having ambition means that our interests are the same."

Xiong En walked out, and Julia followed him out and said directly: "To be honest with you, Councillor Xiong En, we need medicine to convince more people now."

"It's ready." Xiong En walked to the next room and took out a box: "This is what I took back from our security guard. There are ten in total."

Julia took the box with satisfaction: "You are more prepared than we thought. Let me tell you about the cooperation model I envision."

"of course."

"Let's set up a laboratory together." Julia said, "We need to study element 0 together. While ensuring the monthly output, we need to extend the effectiveness of this thing."

"No problem." Xiong En said, "But the name needs to be Basel's, and we just acquired a TV station, so the funds are..."

"We pay the money, the name is yours, and the results are ours."

Xiong En smiled and said, "You seem to have forgotten something."

Julia shook her head and said, "You are such a jerk, Xiong En. We will pay for the medicine. Is that okay?"

"This is what I want to hear the most, Miss Julia." Xiong En said, "Don't worry, I will leave you enough profit margin. This thing is now a finished product, and I can provide you with some semi-finished products, which also have no side effects, but the duration will be less than one minute. This sample will definitely allow you to get more money from Congress."

Smith suddenly said, "Within thirty seconds, the one-minute version can be the second-generation product."

Xiong En was stunned for a moment, then looked at Julia: "Can you give me this guy? We need a CEO like this."

Smith smiled and said, “Thanks to the Bazzell family for giving me a path after retirement.”

Xiong En smiled and said, "We can provide more."

Julia finally spoke up: "Besides these?"

Xiong En thought about it, and then said, "Human trials, to be honest, I still have to rely on this thing to continue my campaign. So, I don't want this thing to become a political stain on me. Clinical trials are fine, but human trials can only use volunteers, real volunteers. I hope you can understand."

"This is somewhat beyond my expectations, sir," Smith said sincerely.

Julia nodded: "No problem, I will give you an answer within a week."

"Then I wish us happy cooperation in advance."

Julia and Smith left, taking ten potions with them.

Xiong En walked into a room and asked directly: "Jia, are those human experiments really not necessary?"

Jia Yu said calmly; "We are all human Xiong En. And our products are mature, there is no need."

"This is really weird. We are using our own citizens and soldiers for human experiments, and you, an Oriental, don't agree to do this."

Jia Yu said calmly, "Because I am still a human being. I can be a non-human in other matters, but I won't do such a thing. Moreover, believe me, Xiong En, if we really conduct human experiments like they do, many of our friends will become enemies."

"We still follow the principle that enemies cannot be solved without the boss's presence. We should help the boss share his worries instead of creating opponents for him. This is the most basic principle."

"Okay, I'll listen to you. You're smarter than me." After Xiong En finished speaking, he still asked cautiously, "Will they believe it?"

"will not."

Xiong En's eyes widened: "Fuck! Then what I just said was in vain!"

Jia Yu just smiled and said, "But they will convince themselves that disbelief and non-cooperation are two different things."

Inside a car.

Smith said, "Sir, Xiong En is not telling the truth."

“I can see that,” Julia said.

Smith continued, "It's just that it's hard for element 0 to exert such a strong combat power. The unknown element contained in the potion is the key point, but they don't seem to want to explain where this thing came from."

"If we explain, will we have to pay again?"

"what do you mean?"

"Now these are enough. If we want them to tell all their secrets, we can only arrest them and deal with them as spies, and that may not be successful. What we urgently need now is a product that can compete with them. To be honest, I was surprised to be able to cooperate in building a laboratory and conducting research together."

"In my original thought, with this kind of thing in hand, the Bazel family would come to us to make an offer. They would be responsible for production and we would be responsible for purchasing. They might even find those guys and propose the same conditions. Now it's already good enough."

"At least, they are willing to come to our side. We will know what will happen next after cooperation. If they come up and tell us everything without reservation, Smith, what do you think this is?"

Smith suddenly realized, "It's a trap! Sir, you actually thought so much about it."

Julia glanced at Smith and said, "You can see that Smith, you don't need to use this trick on me. Also, go to the Bazel family to ask for your benefits. Our money, at least the money we gave them, should not be touched."

The embarrassment on Smith’s face flashed away, and he could only nod: “I understand.”

Julia looked out the window and said, "What surprised me even more was that he actually disagreed with human experiments."

"For the campaign, he said sir."

"Yes, for the election." Julia smiled and said, "Maybe he is really qualified to be president."
