The End of Technology

China, Ningyuan office building.

Ning Zi had returned to the headquarters after finishing her work at the base, and then saw how efficient Principal Chen was.

Someone is already preparing to dismantle the plaque with the words Yanbei Sports University on the front door of Ningyuan, and it is said that it will be replaced with a new one tomorrow. Just looking at Chen Yonggang's enthusiasm, we can see that the principal is not satisfied with the name of the school.

Ning is so lonely that it doesn't matter.

Even if the headquarters of the Space Academy is really moved to space in the future, it doesn’t matter if the name of the Space Academy above is prefixed with Yanbei Sports University. After all, the name is just a code name, and whatever it is called will not affect the exploration plan he and Yue Yue made together.

After returning to the office, he started his daily work step by step.

Recruiting a few students at the Space Academy has been planned for a long time. Today I just went to the Space Academy to confirm the matter, because according to the estimate of the project progress in March, the Wu Gang will conduct a trial voyage in half a year.

After the official trial of the Wu Gang, he may devote more time and energy to the layout of space scientific research, so he must take care of some trivial matters before that. Not only recruiting students, he also planned to use this time to have a child and get some people and things done to ensure that no one would be held back during the transition period of the space age. It all sounds like quite important things.

I was busy until three o'clock in the afternoon, and the phone in the office rang almost every second. Even if you don't take into account the time difference, this extremely punctual method of contact is worth learning and praising.

Yes, Ning Zi knew that the call was from Dupont Le. Generally speaking, calls that are not too important will not come in when he makes an appointment. This is a smart value-added service in March. It doesn’t cost any money and it’s very easy to use.

…

"Hello, Ning, do you know? I have been looking forward to the opportunity to have a direct conversation with you like this. After all, no matter how reliable the person who takes the call is, there will always be various misunderstandings due to the expression."

"Well, Mr. Dupont, thank you for your opinion. But I still want to give you a friendly reminder. Although this number is a confidential line, our conversation may not only be recorded, but also recorded, and even recorded by many staff members. Listen to it over and over again, so I suggest you think carefully about whether whatever you say is appropriate.”

These two simple sentences established that the tone of this call must be sincere, friendly, and frank. At least from Ning Zi's perspective, she was absolutely candid.

Obviously this frankness was not expected by the person on the other end of the phone, but when the person on the other end of the phone spoke again, he was indeed much more cautious.

"Well, of course, I understand. In fact, there is nothing inappropriate. After all, we have always hoped to establish a mutually beneficial cooperative relationship. It's just that many times things don't develop as we hope. This kind of thing is very common. .”

Ning Zi took the phone, smiled, and said: "Let's get down to business. Mr. Dupont, I'm not the kind of person you come into contact with every day. I don't understand the words and sentences that are too official and full of hidden meanings. I I know that you hope to live longer. In fact, I am not embarrassed to admit it, because I am the same, otherwise I would not study related technologies. So why not simply, in order to have a longer life, what are you willing to pay? , and then I’ll see if what you’re giving is what I want, so that we can reach an agreement as soon as possible, or we can just break it off and save time.”

His speech was as simple, crisp and direct as ever, which probably proved how correct the profiling done by many psychologists on Ning Zi was. Although it seemed not very polite, it was efficient enough.

Fortunately, the other party did not seem to be offended, and the tone of his reply was even more modest: "Okay, you are right. I have read the medical examination reports of Nissen Mountbatten and Obote Lelo. I admit that I am not satisfied with them. I am very interested in having such a gratifying change in my body, so I really hope that we can reach an agreement on the introduction of this technology. As for what to pay...you can put forward conditions, as long as it does not exceed our bottom line, it can be discussed. "

Ning Zi noticed very keenly that the other party used we instead of I. For him, this was good information, indicating that the powerful boss opposite him was not so selfish and would share good things. For Ning Zi, this means that he can leverage greater benefits without spending more effort.

Obviously the other party is also very candid, which is the basis for cooperation.

So Ning Zi said simply: "Then Mr. Dupont, you should know why Nissen Mountbatten and Aubert Lello were the first to experience this technology. So my request is actually very simple. What they are doing, That's what I need. If you can cooperate with what they are doing within three years, I will consider allowing you and all friends who are willing to support this cause to enjoy the benefits of rejuvenating various body functions.

If you do well enough, I can even guarantee that only you and your friends can use this technology in Western countries. You can make a list, and those who are not accepted by you will not be able to obtain this technology. support. There is a saying in China that the leftover is king, which means that as long as you survive longer than your enemy, you will be able to win and be invincible. I believe you will also agree with this sentence, especially if you have lived in this world for more than a hundred years, you will definitely feel this way. "

Ning Zi's request made the person on the phone hesitate for a moment, and then he slowly said: "Ning, I would like to confirm whether the support you are talking about means that we only need to help them, or do you want me to follow them?" My friends join the Illuminati Cult they founded and abide by their teachings? Or follow their instructions?"

Ning Zi replied: "I don't need you to join them, and I don't need you to follow his instructions, but you must try your best to protect them for what they want to do. Of course, you don't have to worry about what you have done. I don't know. Don't even think about escaping your obligations or even doing the opposite.

I believe you should have analyzed it. I can always get some information that I need just by chance. Not to mention that I can also directly listen to Nissen and Obote's reports on what you did in them. Also, don’t ask me what to do if Nissen and Obote disappear. If this happens, then our cooperation is ruined. "

There was another long moment of silence.

The other person asked: "Is this the only cooperation mode?"

There was a response soon: "What else? Do you think I will exchange this technology for money? And with all due respect, if you really have to buy it with money, you and your friends may not be able to afford it. The most important thing is long-term cooperation. Only then can both of us feel at ease.”

This question is thought-provoking and frustrating.

Really, when a person doesn't even feel that the increase of money is rare, or even feels happy, there are really not many things in this world that he can put in his eyes. What this kind of person pursues is often more advanced things. People who have no desires or desires to this extent are always the most troublesome.

For wealthy people, it makes sense that problems that can be solved with money are not called problems. Because once you encounter a problem that cannot be solved with money, the trouble multiplier often increases exponentially.

Just like at this time, it is indeed difficult to accept that a group of people from the opposite side should help a small congressman. If you can choose, of course paying directly is the most perfect, provided the price is reasonable. Ning Jie's statement that they might not be able to afford it has blocked all possibilities.

But then again, it is indeed difficult to measure the value of life in terms of money, especially for some specific groups of people. And there is often a bottom line at all costs. If they become poor again in order to survive, it will probably be more uncomfortable than letting them die.

So after Ning Zi said those words, the attitude of the other party obviously began to soften.

"I understand, Ning, indeed, you gave me a very good choice. Of course, I need to discuss it with my friends."

"Okay, Mr. Dupont, I'm not in a hurry. You can discuss it slowly. After all, this is a long-term cooperation that will accompany every choice you make for the rest of your life. You should be more cautious. I like to cooperate with people who are used to thinking before they act. "

After Ning Zi finished speaking, the tone on the other side became more friendly: "Okay, thank you very much for your affirmation. Then, goodbye, my friend."

Ning Juze still said in a distant tone: "Goodbye, Mr. Dupont Le."

Then he hung up the phone directly.

In fact, Ning Zi still has something to say. He actually hates it when the other party wants to get close to him and talk about relationships when they are clearly talking about business. They complicate a simple problem. Bad review!

…

China, in an office.

As Ning Zi said, although the line in his office is confidential, the call may be recorded or even listened to. However, Lao Zhang didn't hide this from him, so Ning Zi didn't find it too troublesome. Anyway, if it was a phone call that he didn't want to be monitored, the cute little March would naturally do something about it.

For the staff, they were naturally a little embarrassed when they heard Ning Zi's words.

But fortunately, the two sides don't have too many face-to-face interactions, so the slight embarrassment is probably caused by the two people looking at each other while working. As a special agent of a confidential unit, he knew Ning Zi's information by heart, so he naturally knew that this young genius scientist still had his own special rebellious streak. So there is nothing to worry about.

However, the two soon discovered that although the phone call was not long, it contained a lot of useful information.

So soon there were exclamations: "I knew, I knew, that Nissen Mountbatten was indeed connected with Academician Ning. Did you hear that everything he did was what Academician Ning asked him to do. Why? So, I said it right then!”

"Yes, your analysis is all right, right? Let's not be surprised, okay? I was almost scared to death by you!"

"No, don't you think this is amazing? Why is Nissen Mountbatten also a member of Parliament now!"

"Yes, yes, yes, but so what? But now I am more interested in what Nissen Mountbatten will do. Something that Academician Ning attaches great importance to should be a big thing, right?"

After saying that, the two looked at each other, and then began to use their authority in a tacit understanding.

Anyway, if it's really not something they can see, they won't be able to find it. But I guess the level of confidentiality will not be very high. After all, with someone like Nissen Mountbatten, some of the things he did and some of his statements were basically semi-public. If you are patient, you might be able to check them on the Internet.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the two of them to find out Nissen Mountbatten's recent movements.

Good guy, this congressman actually united two funds and planned to fully acquire one of the most influential TV stations and broadcasting companies in North America. The two looked at each other again, obviously this was not just something that could be done with money. But if Dupont Le and his friends help, it will obviously be different.

With these people waving flags and shouting from behind, the success rate of this acquisition will greatly increase. Of course, given that this matter is so big, it is difficult to say the success rate.

"Tsk tsk tsk, good guy, directly acquire the parent companies of NBC and CNN? You said that if this thing is really done, will Academician Yi Ning's temperament mean that our news program will be broadcast at seven o'clock in the evening?"

"Don't talk nonsense, is Academician Ning the kind of person who would do such nonsense?"

"Isn't it?"

"Well... don't talk nonsense to me. If you have the guts to say it in person, I respect you for being a man."

"Forget it, but do you think this acquisition can be successful?"

"It depends on how far they dare to go. If Dupont and his influential friends really lobby hard, maybe this thing can really happen."

"Hey, this is exciting, how about we take a gamble. You choose first, whoever loses will bring breakfast to the other for a week, how about it? As for the time, just three months!"

"Okay, I will play with you this time. I think this can be done. Let's set the time for three months."

"Yeah, if you say that, I really hope I can bring you breakfast for a week."

"I'm also looking forward to it. Okay, let's get to work. Quickly sort out all the information and hand it in. I have a hunch that we might be able to get a bonus this time."

"Haha, you have the same idea as me, work, work."

…

Ning Zi didn't know that someone had linked Nissen Mountbatten's action to the bonus. If he knew, he would probably praise these two staff members for their good taste. After all, the plans given in March have never failed.

It was as if March was certain that Mr. Dubonle would definitely try his best to contact him, and that was indeed the case in the end. It's not that March is good at controlling human nature, but the selection of partners is based on countless layers of information. When it comes to collecting and organizing information, probably no one can compare with March Little Cutie.

In fact, the good news came back two months later.

It has been basically determined that Blackstone will join several funds to form a company called Bright Future to acquire all shares of NBC Universal from Comcast and 20% of NBC Universal from General Electric.

The process of capital operation is not important, but the result is really exciting.
