I picked up the god-level academic system

Chapter 417 Bribing Richard

The staff of the American Scientific Research Institute immediately contacted Richard and invited him to sit here.

After receiving the call, Richard was very confused. After all, he was just selling equipment. If they wanted equipment, couldn't they just contact the salesperson directly?

Why do you have to let yourself go?The more he thought about it, the more something was wrong. Suddenly, he thought that the news about Duan Lingxiao's research and development of nano-flying blades might be closely related to this matter.

Time did not allow him to think too much. He could only try to find out what was happening. He came to the American Scientific Research Institute according to the prescribed time.

As soon as he entered, a receptionist took him directly to the designated location.

"Sir, someone is waiting for you inside," the escort said.

"OK, thanks."

Richard pushed the door open and saw about 10 people inside, all looking at him.

"Richard, are you here?"

"Well, what do you want from me?"

"Please sit down. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Mark. I am the person in charge of the scientific research institute. Nice to meet you."

"Hello, Mr. Mark and fellow scientists, my name is Richard."

After everyone got to know each other briefly, Mark got straight to the point.

"Mr. Richard, we heard that Duan Lingxiao from Longguo once purchased a TEM equipment from your company, right?"

"Correct."

"Did he find you directly? Or did he buy it online?"

"We met on Pamukkale and he saved my life and I helped him when I learned he couldn't find the device."

Mark was very happy when he heard this explanation, which meant that they were kind to each other.

"That's right, Richard, I wonder if you have heard that Duan Lingxiao's company developed a nano flying blade?"

"Yes, I know. I called him and confirmed it some time ago."

"Very good, we hope you can help us purchase a batch of nano flying blades to help the United States' research."

Richard had actually guessed it in his heart, but he still declined politely, "I'm afraid this won't work."

"Why?" Mark asked very curiously.

"Duan Lingxiao has made it clear that this technology will not be sold to the outside world until the Longguo Scientific Research Institute successfully completes its application."

"He said it himself?"

"Correct!"

Hearing Richard's affirmative answer, Mark's expression immediately changed.

After several scientific researchers discussed it, they still felt that only Richard could do this.

"Richard, we think we need you to do this. You don't need to buy it, you just need to tell us the specific live broadcast time."

Hearing this, he asked with some confusion, "We will notify you online the day before the Puhui live broadcast."

"It was too late," Mark explained. "In order to ensure the success of the purchase, we need to send people to Longguo to purchase. If we only knew one day in advance, the personnel would not be able to arrive at the scene."

"So that's it. What do you want me to do?"

"Actually, it's very simple. Just go to Dragon Kingdom and ask Duan Lingxiao when he will broadcast live, giving us time to prepare."

"Isn't this bad?" Richard was very embarrassed, feeling guilty for betraying his friends.

"Richard, you have to know that you are an American and you have to put the country first, not personal feelings."

"No, Mr. Mark, the United States has always demanded freedom and equality. We are a country where individualism comes first."

When Mark heard this, he couldn't express his embarrassment.

"Richard, we will provide all the expenses for this trip. As long as you help us, the equipment needed by the institute in the future will be purchased from you."

Hearing this condition, he was moved. After all, who would have trouble with money? Besides, he was just asking about Duan Lingxiao's live broadcast time and nothing else. It was not a betrayal.

"Okay, I promise."

Mark was very happy after hearing this. He reached out his hand and said, "Happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!" Richard responded politely.

Richard returned to the company and immediately called Duan Lingxiao.

"Hello? Ling Xiao, I wonder if you have time recently? I want to go to the Dragon Kingdom."

"Okay, when will you come over? The baby and I will pick you up."

"Probably the day after tomorrow. I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you very much."

"Me too, see you the day after tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, Ling Xiao immediately told Bao Bao the news. The two agreed to pick up Richard together, and also arranged trips to several nearby cities.

……

One day later, Richard came to the Dragon Kingdom alone.

As soon as he exited the airport, he saw Bao Bao and Ling Xiao.

"Hi!" He waved.

The two saw his figure and walked towards him.

"Richard, after so many years of separation, you are still the same, so handsome." The baby praised.

"You too, you are still so beautiful."

Looking back at Duan Lingxiao, he has indeed changed a lot. He has grown a little beard on his lower court, making him look more mature and sophisticated.

"Long time no see, Ling Xiao."

"Long time no see, Richard."

"Okay, don't talk here, let's go to the hotel first and see where you live." Baobao suggested.

"Okay, I'm sorry to bother you."

Richard followed the two of them to the Jinhai Hotel. The place was very grand, and it could be seen that they had prepared everything very carefully.

"Richard, what do you want to eat tonight?" Duan Lingxiao asked.

"There is an old saying in the Dragon Kingdom: guests do as they please, as long as you recommend them."

The baby thought for a while and said, "How about we go eat hoof flowers? I know a newly opened hoof flower shop. Lin Fang just went there some time ago and said it tastes good."

"Okay, let's go there." Duan Lingxiao said.

After briefly tidying up at the hotel, the three of them arrived at the store Bao Bao mentioned.

"Boss, three portions of hoof flowers and a drawer of steamed buns." Duan Lingxiao shouted.

"Okay, do you want it spicy or not?"

"Not spicy."

"Okay, sit down wherever you want, you'll be fine in a while."

Sitting in the hotel, the three of them chatted about the past and complained about Duan Lingxiao's jealous behavior back then. Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost lively, Richard gradually opened the topic.

"Ling Xiao, I saw you doing a live broadcast two days ago, and you were also selling nano flying blade technology online. Can you really sell it?"

"Of course," Duan Lingxiao said proudly, "It just came on the shelves, it will be gone in seconds."

"So powerful? It seems that the buyer is very powerful."

"It didn't cost much. It was mainly for the scientific research and development of the Dragon Kingdom. The cost of the nano-flying blade is already very high, so once you come and go, you won't see a high return."

"Why not raise the price?"

"Isn't this to witness the application effect? ​​If the flying blade cannot be applied, it will be meaningless."
