Chapter 700 - 284 Technology Transfer_3
"If it can’t be replicated, then I have no reason to be here." Li Xiu placed the resources back in front of Chu Sanhu and pointed to one item, saying, "Sir, take a closer look at this material technology. Using this material technology, I can guarantee that the Nightwalker’s Energy Matrix can run at full power for at least two hours."
"Is this true?" Chu Sanhu stared at Li Xiu with piercing eyes.
He knew too well the value of material technology; the birth of any new material is enough to trigger a revolution.
Once materials can’t keep up, they might soon be eliminated.
Being able to buy new materials at a high price is already considered fortunate. If Space City developed such materials, there might be a technological blockade against White Night City, making it impossible to buy them even at high prices. Even if they could buy them, it would be at exorbitant prices.
"A ten-thousand-fold profit is inadequate to describe the sheer profit of new materials; it might even be a hundred-thousand-fold or million-fold profit."
"If you’re interested, sir, I can provide some samples. Once we test the material’s performance, we can discuss further," Li Xiu smiled and said.
"How do you want to cooperate? Are you providing materials for our Chu Family?" Chu Sanhu looked at Li Xiu and asked.
If Li Xiu only provides materials, the price would likely be high. Once the new materials are used and their production can’t be replicated, it would be equivalent to handing the lifeline of the Chu Family over to Li Xiu.
"The technology can be transferred." Li Xiu understood what Chu Sanhu was worried about.
"What about the equipment?" Chu Sanhu asked another crucial question. Only having technology without equipment still poses a problem. Many manufacturing techniques for new materials require high-tech equipment, which inherently has technology no less important than the materials themselves, becoming another critical point.
"I’m sorry, equipment technology cannot be transferred. However, we can sign an agreement where I provide a complete set of equipment and can provide technical personnel for maintenance and repair, ensuring the production line runs smoothly. We can negotiate the price to a mutually acceptable rate." Li Xiu naturally wouldn’t hand over this lifeline to the Chu Family. Without holding this lifeline, the Chu Family could shake off his control whenever they wish.
"If we cooperate, I want exclusive rights," Chu Sanhu said.
"Certainly." Li Xiu readily agreed.
"Good, bring the samples over, and I’ll have someone test them. If there are no issues, we’ll immediately discuss the cooperation details." Chu Sanhu was a decisive person; once he made his mind, he acted promptly without hesitation.
Li Xiu took the samples out of his backpack and handed them to the Magic Armor Master.
Chu Sanhu immediately instructed them to take the samples to the laboratory for testing before smiling at Li Xiu, saying, "Commander Li rarely visits; let Xiaojun host you well. Enjoy a stay in White Night City for a couple of days."
After Li Xiu left, Chu Sanhu immediately convened a meeting of the Chu family’s core members to discuss the materials and information Li Xiu brought.
"Whether Space City has developed such new materials is still uncertain; I believe we should not be too hasty in this matter."
"What if, as Li Xiu said, Space City has already developed and mass-produced new materials? If White Night City can’t catch up immediately, it might suffer a significant blow, possibly losing the ability to compete with Space City, which would be a disaster."
"Is new material so easy to mass-produce? I think the authenticity of this matter needs further consideration."
"They’ve made the materials and can mass-produce them; they can’t be fake."
"With the equipment technology in their hands, if we cooperate with Changshengtian, won’t our Chu Family be subjected to control by Changshengtian?"
"Our intelligence personnel stationed in Space City have not received any news regarding new materials. I think Li Xiu’s words may not be trustworthy."
"We’ve persisted for so many years without being controlled by Changshengtian, cooperating with Li Xiu now is akin to walking into a trap."
"What about the new materials? Not everyone is an S-Class Magic Armor Master, and not every S-Class Magic Armor Master can afford new Demon Armor. Our Nightwalkers still have their user group. Even if we have to engage in a price war with Space City, with similar performance and much cheaper price, there will still be Magic Armor Masters choosing Nightwalker..."
The Chu Family members were all talking among themselves, most holding a resistant attitude towards cooperation with Changshengtian.
"Sir, what’s your opinion?" Chu Ershu looked at the old man and said; once he spoke, everyone turned their eyes to the old man.
Chu Sanhu said lightly, "I want to hear one person’s opinion first."
"Who?" Chu Ershu asked in confusion.
"They should be arriving soon, let’s wait a bit." Chu Sanhu sipped tea and said.
Everyone could only wait patiently, secretly guessing who the old man was waiting for, someone with such influence to make the usually decisive old man want to hear their opinion.
After a while, the door to the meeting room was opened, and Chu Jun entered.
"Sir, you called for me?" Chu Jun came up beside the old man and said.
Everyone seated there were essentially his elders, leaving no place for him, forcing him to stand beside the old man.
Everyone was somewhat surprised, they didn’t expect the person the old man was waiting for was Chu Jun, who had no talent for Magic Armor and had never been involved in the Chu Family’s Magic Armor business. No one understood why the old man wanted to hear his opinion.
"You heard everything Li Xiu said today. Do you think our Chu Family should cooperate with him?" Chu Sanhu, sipping his tea, casually said.
"Sir, I don’t understand matters about Demon Armor and don’t know the impact of the materials and technology Li Xiu mentioned on our Chu Family, but I only know one thing." Chu Jun said slowly.
"What’s that?" Chu Sanhu put down his tea cup and looked at Chu Jun.
Everyone’s gaze also turned towards Chu Jun, who said slowly, "Li Xiu used Demon Armor to strike down a Spirit Forging Level demon spirit."
"What!" With these words, the high-level members of the Chu Family were all shocked.
