Chapter 291 The tip of the needle versus the awn of wheat

This is a room, and it is very quiet.

Xue Ronghua entered the room and looked around.

He was told that there were 12 bugging devices in the house and he had to find all of them.

This is also a course for mib "graduation".

Although he was told that there were 12, Xue Ronghua heard before he came in that there should actually be 13 bugs inside!

Xue Ronghua looked around and he had a rough idea of ​​where the bugs were.

He looked up and saw that it was a camera. His every move in the room would be transmitted to the monitoring room by the camera, and the examiners would score Xue Ronghua based on the time and number of bugs he found.

"Thirteen bugs..."

It seems a bit difficult for ordinary people to find all these bugs. But he is now a MIB, a specially trained MIB, and Xue Ronghua already has very detailed knowledge in this regard.

Xue Ronghua first went straight to the telephone. Generally speaking, this is the place where bugs are most likely to be placed. He walked over and took the phone apart, and there was indeed a bug inside.

Although the referees did not say it clearly, Xue Ronghua also knew that if he looked in the wrong place, points would be deducted. The referees have very strict requirements for MIB, otherwise among so many employees, there would only be MIB people.

There are less than a hundred people, and among these hundreds, there are also ordinary people who are "preparatory MIBs" like Xue Ronghua now. Among these preliminary personnel, I am afraid that only half can become real MIBs.

Under the bed, next to the TV, in the kitchen, on the dining table...

In a short time, Xue Ronghua found all 12 bugs.

But... where is the legendary 13th bug?

Xue Ronghua looked around, but found nothing. He was sure that he had already searched almost every place he could find. The remaining places were clearly visible and it would be difficult to install eavesdropping equipment.

"window……"

Suddenly, Xue Ronghua looked at the small window of the house. He seemed to understand something. Then he walked to the window, opened it, and leaned half of his body out.

"it's here!"

Sure enough, there is a 13th bug!

Xue Ronghua was ecstatic.

He returned to the room and was about to raise his hand to indicate that in this case, his assessment would be over. He did not waste much time, which was very beneficial to him.

But when he saw the camera, Xue Ronghua suddenly froze, and even his hand froze in mid-air.

Is it over... No. Xue Ronghua suddenly walked towards the camera, and then stopped in front of it.

After looking carefully, Xue Ronghua walked in front of the camera and took it off!

"There's actually another one!"

After opening the camera, Xue Ronghua was shocked to find that a listening device was installed inside.

But on the other hand, Xue Ronghua also breathed a sigh of relief. There were 14 bugs, one more than he originally knew. It seemed that becoming a MIB was really not an easy task.

"finished!"

The camera had been removed and Xue Ronghua could only walk out of the room.

As soon as he came out of the door, he saw the examiner walking over.

"I finished."

"Well, you passed the test. You found 14 out of 15 bugs... which is pretty good."

The examiner looked at Xue Ronghua.

"15?!" Xue Ronghua was startled. Is there another bug in the house?

Impossible, there is no place in this place where we can continue to hide bugs...could it be...

The examiner looked at his shoes, and Xue Ronghua suddenly reacted. Then he took off the leather shoes on his feet, and then forcefully opened the soles... Sure enough, there was a bug inside.

There is actually a bug in here?!

Xue Ronghua looked at the clothes he was wearing. This set of clothes was originally the "uniform" issued to Xue Ronghua a few days ago, but he did not expect that there was an eavesdropping device inside the uniform. This was really hard to guard against.

.

"You are the only qualified one among this group of people. It seems that I want to congratulate you on becoming MIB first, Xue."

The examiner spoke in English, but Xue Ronghua could already understand English, thanks to his English assault in the past few months.

"grateful."

Xue Ronghua finally breathed a sigh of relief, so that he could finally have an explanation with his superiors. In the past few months, Xue Ronghua could be said to have forgotten all about sleep and food. It was really not easy to do this.

The examiner explained to Xue Ronghua again: "We deliberately revealed the 13th eavesdropping device to the candidates. If we only found 13 eavesdropping devices, such people would not be qualified at all. As a MIB, we cannot be

We are limited by the existing consultation and intelligence. We do not have the KGB's all-pervasive espionage methods, nor the powerful intelligence capabilities. We are just bodyguards. We can only judge our situation based on our existing consultation. One cannot

Shen... the result may very well be disastrous."

It can be said that the Umbrella Company has good intentions in training mib.

But strictly speaking, Xue Ronghua himself can be regarded as a spy...

Although he can be regarded as a spy, Xue Ronghua's superiors have always asked him to maintain restraint and not act like the Red Guards in Hong Kong. In fact, the information he is collecting now may be insignificant to the umbrella himself, but not to theirs.

It's already been a great help.

Today's matter was finally resolved, and Xue Ronghua finally became a MIB as he wished. But what he didn't know was that the so-called "wonderful life" had just begun...

…

"...This is our three-phase data optical drive."

The technician introduced the three-phase data optical drive technology of Catherine Company to the IBM members. Catherine, who was sitting aside, saw the blank expressions on these people's faces and curled her lips in disdain.

These people from IBM are considered expert negotiators. Although Catherine's product is very powerful, it does not belong to IBM. All they need to do is to give this thing to Nong. They are experienced and know exactly what to do during negotiations.

.

"This technology is indeed very good, but what is the approximate lifespan of an optical drive? If a disc is used continuously, how long can it be used? These are all very important to us."

The other party's negotiators first raised some very pointed questions.

"In this regard, I think you can refer to your laser disc." Ark's negotiators are not vegetarians either.

"Although the optical disc technology is very good, the cost is too high. As long as one of the three optical heads is damaged, errors of one kind or another are likely to occur. This product of yours... has too many defects."

"This is not a defect. To successfully realize data reading, we must do this. And the design life of our products is one year, which is completely sufficient. In terms of cost, this is better than the current products.

"How many times." The tone of Ark's negotiator was a little sarcastic, which was also Catherine's blessing before coming - tooth for tooth, blood for blood. The other party's current attitude is very arrogant, so he cannot be at a disadvantage.

"Okay... but your plan is to exchange the hard drive patent with us. Although your product is very good, it is really not good compared to our hard drive technology. Our product can read and write at any time,

This is something that optical discs cannot do, so we feel that the price paid by ark is too little."

The other party started to increase their bets.

"On the contrary, our optical disc technology is very powerful, large capacity, and low price. This is incomparable to your $10,000 5MB hard drive. Our 70MB optical disc only costs a few cents. We only need to

Set the program to read-only and everything will be fine."

After hearing this sentence, the other party shook his head: "Sir, the request for patent exchange was first raised by Ark. If you think our hard disk technology is so unbearable, why do you want to come again?

What about our patents? This just shows the benefits of our products."

Both parties want to strive for the best interests for their respective companies.

"If you think our data disc technology is so inferior, why are you sitting here negotiating with us?"

The situation is truly dire.

"No, this is different. We can also design a data optical drive, but you are just one step ahead..."

"We can also develop hard drives, but where did your IBM memory patent come from... I don't need to say more, right?"

——Obtained from Wang An (President of Wang An Computer Company) by cheating.

"If you are so insincere, I don't think our negotiations need to continue at all!"

The other party's eyes were sharp.

"Even if there is no hard drive, it won't have much impact on us. The capacity of your hard drive is really too low. We use a read-only optical drive, which is much better than your product."

Catherine shrugged. It was not good enough for the other party to threaten her with this. The purpose of Catherine needing the hard drive was just to shorten the research time.

"Actually, I don't think we need to be so agitated at all. Let's sit down and talk..."

Another person said with a smile, which relaxed the atmosphere.

Catherine is a little funny. This method of singing a red face is as clumsy as it is, but the effect is excellent.

——Everyone knows that everyone is actually just talking about each other, and they all know the details of the other party.

Americans also talk about "face", but their "face" is slightly different from that of Far Eastern countries.

Then, negotiations continue.
