Do Not Speak Ill of My Mother!-Chapter 655 - 600: The Final Offer
After just reading the title on the first page and a few lines of key data summaries, President Qin’s face suddenly turned ashen! He abruptly raised his head, looking at Yan Yueqing with eyes full of extreme shock, disbelief, and even... a trace of fear!
The content of the document was precisely the core difficulty description of the deep-sea special alloy welding technology that had troubled Blue Sea Heavy Industry for months and was classified as top secret! The description was not only accurate but also... faintly pointed out several breakthrough directions that they had not yet verified but instinctively felt were highly feasible!
How is this possible?! The team tackling this technology comprised the top domestic experts in the related field, consuming countless resources and time, yet progressing slowly. The content of this document, although just an outline and some key points, showed foresight and a level of thinking far beyond their current understanding! It was as if... knowledge fragments were intercepted from the future!
"This... this..." President Qin’s voice completely lost its usual steadiness, carrying a clear tremble, "President Yan... where... where did you get this document from? This... it’s too..."
"No need to ask about the source, President Qin." Yan Yueqing’s voice remained calm yet carried an unmistakable power, "You only need to know that the complete research results of the technology involved in this document are currently held by my wholly-owned ’Star Sea Frontier Technology’ company. The technology has passed internal verification and supports engineering application."
Star Sea Frontier Technology? A name never heard before! But coming from Yan Yueqing’s mouth at this moment, it carried immense weight!
Looking at President Qin’s rapidly changing expression, Yan Yueqing continued to lay out her terms, her tone clear and firm:
"As I mentioned earlier, one billion is my comprehensive valuation. This technology is not included in that one billion sum. Technology transfer or cooperative development requires separate negotiation at an additional cost. I present it merely to prove two things to President Qin."
She paused, her gaze sharp as a knife:
"Firstly, I am fully aware of the greatest pain point Blue Sea Heavy Industry is facing right now, beyond just time, it’s the technological shackle pressed against your throats."
"Secondly, I have both the capability and the willingness to help Blue Sea Heavy Industry solve this pain point. But the premise for all of this is—"
Yan Yueqing slightly leaned forward, her momentum suddenly surged, and her calm eyes at this moment contained an undeniable pressure, clearly conveying one message:
"In this compensation negotiation about the HZ-07 plot, President Qin must come with ’genuine’, ’worthy of Blue Sea Heavy Industry’s stature and the value of this land’ sincerity. If it’s still the previous probing offer of sixty-eight billion, or the seventy-five billion you just mentioned..."
She slowly shook her head, her tone resolute:
"Then not only can the land negotiation be terminated, but I will also immediately destroy this document’s copy, and any information on this technology will no longer concern Blue Sea Heavy Industry. I believe, Blue Sea wouldn’t be the only one interested in this technology. Time is precious to everyone, and technology waits for no one."
A blatant yet precisely lethal threat!
Yan Yueqing not only gripped Blue Sea’s timeline (project schedule) but also directly strangled their technological throat! And even... she had the ability to provide this technology to their competitors!
President Qin felt his mind blank, the massive impact almost stripping him of his ability to think. He looked at the thin document on the table, then at the overly young, yet unfathomable woman across from him, a chilling dread mingled with a peculiar, survival-like excitement.
He understood, completely understood.
What Yan Yueqing really wanted was not merely compensation for a plot of land, she wanted the respect, attention, and possibly deep future collaboration from the national giant, Blue Sea Heavy Industry!
The one hundred billion buyout was for the land, but more so, it was a stepping stone for her to showcase her power and open the door to partnership! And this technology was the trump card that would make Blue Sea willingly bow!
"Ninety billion!"
President Qin almost blurted it out, his voice slightly altered by excitement and a kind of all-out emotion, he didn’t even spare a glance at Zheng Guodong, who was similarly shocked into silence beside him.
"President Yan! Since you know so much, you must know that one hundred billion is a price the group simply cannot afford. But ninety billion! Process expedited! It’s the maximum authority I can utilize, and the highest sincere price Blue Sea Heavy Industry can offer! Please, you must believe us! As for this technology..."
President Qin’s gaze once again fervently turned to the document, his voice carrying a trace of earnestness, "The group is indeed incredibly challenged by this technology! It relates to the success or failure of not only the entire No. 1 Base but also a series of subsequent national strategic projects! Ninety billion, absolutely does not include the technology transfer fee! For that part, we will immediately organize the most professional team to negotiate with you at market’s highest standard!
Whatever cooperation model you propose—buyout authorization, joint development, profit sharing—whatever you ask, we will fully cooperate! We only ask one thing of you... please, absolutely do not disclose this technology to any third party outside Blue Sea Heavy Industry at this stage! This concerns the core interests of major national projects! I beg you!"
The meeting room fell into silence. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
Zheng Guodong was completely stupefied, his mind unable to process the twist and astronomically high negotiation result unfolding before him.
Do not underestimate the severity of cutting from one hundred billion to ninety billion.
Each "one" added at the billion unit price is an immensely huge figure.
Yan Yueqing quietly watched President Qin, observing the urgency, sincerity, and even a trace of regretful plea in his eyes.
After a few seconds, a gentle, approving smile finally appeared on her face.
She extended her hand, gently pressing the white file and then, slowly pushing it back towards President Qin.
"President Qin is straightforward and sincere." Yan Yueqing’s voice returned to its initial calm, yet carried a settled force, "Ninety billion, it’s reasonable. The historical mission of this plot, let’s entrust it to Blue Sea Heavy Industry. Regarding the procedures, Manager Lei will fully cooperate with your company."
Her fingertips lightly tapped on the file:
"As for this... consider it a meeting gift for Blue Sea Heavy Industry, and also for the national new energy strategy. Specific cooperation details, my team will connect with your company’s technical department next month. Please remember your promise."
A meeting gift?!
President Qin looked at the returned file, containing the core technology clues enough to resolve the group’s urgent need, the massive surprise and unbelievable impact almost made him dizzy!
Ninety billion for land, and the other side even included the key to breaking the technological blockade?!
At this moment, all of President Qin’s doubts, fears, and even anxiety towards Yan Yueqing transformed into indescribable shock and a kind of... near reverent admiration.
He abruptly stood up, ignored his status and the occasion, and solemnly bowed deeply to Yan Yueqing.
"President Yan... noble spirit! On behalf of Blue Sea Heavy Industry, on behalf of... the national project group, thank you!" His voice carried a faint, hard-to-detect choke.
Yan Yueqing nodded slightly: "President Qin, you’re too kind. It’s merely a win-win cooperation."
With the negotiation concluded, a ninety billion astronomical compensation, and a core technology cooperation intent breaking foreign monopoly, achieved in a way beyond everyone’s imagination. As President Qin left Sea Star Company with that seemingly weightless yet immensely heavy document, he took one last look at the modest office and had only one thought left:
This woman, and the power she represents, are terrifying. But also... deserve immense respect.
