While Lu Zhou and others were giving a press conference, Xiong Yan also started talks with Mr. George, the president of the Illuminati across the ocean.
This is an unrecorded meeting. To be precise, most of the time, the negotiations between the institute and the Illuminati are not recorded.
This time, it's no exception.
"Does Northwest College really not recruit students from around the world? That would miss out on a lot of geniuses and talents."
"The first class of Northwest College is still experimental in nature and safety cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, for the safety of global students, we will not recruit students from all over the world for the time being. Otherwise, who will be responsible if something goes wrong? After all, you know,
There is no small matter in Daxia’s diplomacy.”
Listening to Xiong Yan talking nonsense here in a serious manner, George felt a knot in his heart. Although he knew that Xiong Yan was talking nonsense, he could only pretend not to know anything instead of directly exposing it. This feeling was very unpleasant.
So much so that George wanted to pick up the broken ax on his waist and give Xiong Yan a cordial greeting!
"Then when can we expect to ensure safety?"
"It's hard to say. After all, I can't predict the future. Who can guarantee what the future will be like? I can only say that our research institute and management department will do our best."
Can you really not predict the future?
In fact, as early as the establishment of the Illuminati, they had noticed the newly established Institute for Special Affairs across the ocean.
I even followed the clues and figured out the changes in the past month or so. At that time, I started to study the dean Xiong Yan.
He is just an ordinary person with no background. He is not from the second or third generation. He has no red content at all. He has three generations of ancestors and has no military or political experience. He is just a serious poor man.
Moreover, none of his elders became the son-in-law of some big shot because they were too outstanding.
He himself is still single, and he is not dating a rich woman or a second-generation official. He is just an ordinary ordinary person.
But how did such an ordinary person become the director of the Institute of Special Affairs overnight?
Not long after, he even became the dean of the Institute of Special Affairs. His status improved too quickly overnight.
Why?
Everything happens for a reason, so what is it that can make Xiong Yan suddenly rise to a high position overnight?
Taking into account the reality that Xiong Yan went to the capital on the day the spiritual energy was revived, and that the research institute was established the day after the spiritual energy was revived, and that Jiang Ju and others went directly to Beijing the night after the spiritual energy was revived, an incredible guess emerged.
.
Although this guess is very surprising, after making bold guesses based on these facts and the collected intelligence, this is the only answer.
That is, Xiong Yan's talent may be related to the future, and he may have obtained some treasure, through which he can peek into the future.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why he could accurately find Jiang Ju, Lu Zhou, Jizhen, Ye Fan, Peng Bing, Changkong Taoist and others from all over the country on the second day after his spiritual energy recovered.
You know, these people are basically the deans of a department under the institute at this moment, and they are basically the ancestors of a group.
Looking at the Illuminati, up to now, there have been three presidents, and an unknown number of senior leaders.
Looking at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the country of gentlemen, the top management also changes frequently. The top management of extraordinary organizations in almost all countries is constantly changing. Only in Daxia, the top management has hardly changed.
Although there are many high-level changes related to conspiracies and various disputes, most of them are due to lack of talent, insufficient hard power, unable to keep up with the changes of the times, and then automatically marginalized.
If Jiang Ju and others are not capable enough, then it is good news for George that the top management remains unchanged. But the key point is that Jiang Ju and others are almost the most powerful people in their respective fields.
This is very rare!
Apart from predicting the future, George really couldn't think of any other possibility.
Therefore, since this speculation was made, the Illuminati has often communicated with the research institute, and tried to use conspiracy as much as possible in all plans, just to avoid that after spending a lot of time, energy and material resources on their own side, someone with the ability comes from the other side.
For those who predict the future, if the conspiracy is revealed in one sentence, the loss will be too great.
"So, if you're willing to pay enough dollars, can you enroll?"
Hearing this, Xiong Yan still shook his head.
There is no shortage of U.S. dollars in Daxia. After the establishment of the Western Exchange, there are not many international consortiums that enter the country with U.S. dollars and exchange them for RMB.
What's more, in the future, if shipping is affected, it is also a huge question whether the U.S. dollar can still buy what you want.
At that time, which country will exchange the products it has worked so hard to produce for pieces of green paper?
Unless, green paper can be linked to transcendence!
However, so far, what can be linked to the extraordinary, and is expected to be linked to the extraordinary, is not green paper but red paper.
"You can exchange resources directly, real resources, or you can exchange extraordinary items and spiritual energy crystals for admission qualifications." Xiong Yan kindly reminded.
George shook his head directly: "I'm just asking for those stubborn consortiums in the country. If it's just green paper, then no matter how much money it is, it's just a number."
But real resources and various extraordinary resources are different.
"Okay, now is the cooperation and trading process. Below are the projects that the Illuminati can bring out for cooperation and trading as of this month."
"The first item is biological research..."
Immediately afterwards, it is time for communication and cooperation.
Including but not limited to trading extraordinary items, although most of the time, the Illuminati is selling and the Institute is buying.
Today's Research Institute is one of the most wealthy and extraordinary institutions. In the field of extraordinary things, the Research Institute is ahead of the Illuminati for at least twenty or thirty years. This is not a lead in one aspect, but an all-round lead.
Therefore, most of the time, the Illuminati is like a hard-working developing country, taking the products that the citizens of its own country have worked hard to produce, but being easily exploited by Xiong Yan with products with high added value.
After all, the prices of goods are set by merchants.
If you can produce the last shirt, then I will say that the shirt is worthless and only worth a few dollars each.
If you can't produce a large aircraft, then I'll say that a large aircraft is worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and even if you have money, I won't sell it to you.
In the past, the price of many commodities was not decided by Daxia, not by the buyer's market, but by the seller's market.
As for whether this is fair, the beautiful country has always thought it was fair.
As for now, everything is just the other way around.
"Xiong, this isn't fair! These are the magic runes that the Gentry Kingdom has worked so hard to research. You can't just buy them all at such a low price."
"This is the result of many years of research by Professor Dumbledore and other professors. It contains a lot of secrets. You can't just take it away so lightly!"
Oh, I can't steal it, so how did you get it?
So, when you obtain these runes from the Gentleman Country, it is not a robbing, but a real exchange of equal value?
"No, no, no, George, listen to me. Although these runes are called runes, they are just so-called. They are essentially acquired runes, not the real runes on the World Tree."
"The World Tree belongs to the innate world, but the World Tree in the Hogwarts world must be a sub-tree of the acquired world. The runes on it cannot be innate runes. At most, they are just runes. In the Hogwarts world,
It’s just a projection.”
Having said this, Xiong Yan took out a bag of spiritual rice and said, "George, do you know how much wisdom and mystery there is behind this small bag of humble spiritual rice?"
"Every grain of spiritual rice is painstakingly taken care of by using Changchun Kung. During the breeding and selection process, an unknown amount of manpower and material resources were consumed in Daxia. Every grain of spiritual rice is the work of painstaking efforts and contains
A lot of sweat. What you eat looks like spiritual rice, but it is actually the result of the hard work of our staff."
"You know, if it were not for the overall situation, these spiritual rice would not be sold to you. If it is according to my original intention, it will be directly listed as a strategic material, and it is prohibited to sell or export it."
Does your family have an annual production volume of strategic items that are prohibited from export?
I really wanted to be tough and not buy it, but that was just what I was thinking. Researchers in the association have confirmed that long-term consumption of spiritual rice can help ordinary people quickly become extraordinary.
Even those extraordinary knights can have obvious effects if they take Lingmi for a long time.
Therefore, even if he knew that he was being blackmailed and that Xiong Yan deliberately lowered the price, George had no choice.
"Okay, then how many tons of spiritual rice are the ancient runes developed by Professor Dumbledore at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry worth?"
"It's Old Man Deng's hard work after all. Just give me two tons of spirit rice. One ton is the original value, and the other ton is based on the emotional impact of Hogwarts when I was a boy."
I believe you as a ghost!
"Two tons is still too little, not enough to eat. You are spreading it out. Once it is fully rolled out in the second half of the year, by next year, the output is estimated to be tens of thousands of tons. But now you are still selling one ton or two tons here.
There are really too few.”
Xiong Yan nodded first and then shook his head: "George, what you said is next year, but now that the spiritual energy is recovering, there are huge changes almost every day, and none of us can guarantee what the future development will be like.
"
"In today's era, countless rules are being broken, countless rules are being trampled, and the entire environment is changing. The world has changed from peaceful development to the current disaster-ridden world. What about patent laws and what about international order? It won't take long.
It will be completely destroyed."
Some small countries may be on the verge of extinction soon. At this time, it would be too difficult for you to ask them to continue to abide by the patent law or continue to be inflexible.
"So, what the future will bring is a matter of the future. As for the production of spiritual rice, although there is indeed some spiritual rice at present, most of the spiritual rice will be left to be digested by domestic research institutes and management departments."
"Even if the management department of the institute cannot digest it internally, it will give priority to the domestic people to enjoy. Therefore, although the domestic output is okay, there is very little available for export. All countries want it. If it weren't for George, you are very good.
Friendship, I am not selling it to you now, but communicating with extraordinary people from other countries."
"So, George, you have to cherish this opportunity. As for you, I only sell it one ton. If it were someone else who wanted to buy so much, I wouldn't sell it!"
After talking about the price for a while, George reluctantly started the next negotiation. Anyway, this rune is not complete, let alone a great research result. Just sell it.
As for the latest research, they are all arcane series, so they cannot be sold casually. George thought about it and came up with the next result.
"This is the knight training method in the old revolutionary base area, and it contains endless mysteries..."
"This is not worth much. Really, compared to Daxia's Qi and Blood system, today's knight system is still incomplete, has many flaws, and has poor adaptability. Just a ton of spiritual rice."
"This is an artifact from a certain country. It is said that it contains a trace of divinity. This is a genuine creation of the gods. Once a mortal gets it, he can reach the sky in one step and exert legendary power."
It's a legend when you open your mouth, and you can tell it's fake without even looking. If there is such a good thing, how can it be traded? Isn't it bad to use it as a bet on the bottom of the box?
Or, wouldn't it be better to just use it yourself, find someone of your own, and directly train a true legendary master?
Xiong Yan almost didn't need to conduct an on-site inspection to guess how flawed this so-called artifact was. There might only be a tiny trace of the divinity inside it, and it was very difficult to extract it. Or it could be said that there was something wrong with the divinity itself, it was very confusing, and there was no way to do it.
surrender.
It is estimated that 80% of them are disposable items, and the usage requirements are still very high. After use, the target can be transformed into a being that temporarily possesses a legendary strike. But what is the use of ordinary people even if they have the power of this strike?
It’s no use!
The current earth, let alone the legend, even if the true god comes, it will still have to be controlled by me, because the status of the earth is much higher than that of a mere true god.
If it really comes, it will be crushed by the earth's personality first, and maybe it will be crushed to death directly.
Otherwise, it would not be possible that as of this moment, only two or three big cats and kittens have come to reality.
Otherwise, couldn't the victor of the previous era, the true god of the previous era, just come to us?
Wouldn't it be better to then violently overthrow this group of mortals on the earth and directly monopolize all opportunities?
But it just doesn’t work. Each era has its own rules. Maybe the previous era was mainly about martial arts cultivation, and the previous era was mainly about immortality. This is possible.
When the time came to one o'clock in the morning, Xiong Yan's ears twitched, and George also received news from the deputy.
"Seven stars in a row, I guess many people will be unable to sit still." Xiong Yan said suddenly.
"Times have changed, and it is no longer their time. A group of remnants of the previous era are trying to revive. They could suppress them back then, but they can still suppress them now!" As he said that, George directly held the ax at his waist.
Xiong Yan nodded: "Then let's call it a day, wait until we clean up those historical remnants first!"
