After the divorce, I started to transfer
Chapter 1868 Divine Inspiration
When Chen Feng said this, Moore smiled slightly, showing no surprise or astonishment whatsoever.
"Chen Feng, do you think I don't know about this? I know everything I need to know about you."
Chen Feng's eyes narrowed slightly upon hearing this, but he wasn't too surprised. Since the other party possessed such powerful methods, investigating him would indeed be very easy. Without a doubt, there might be a mole within Moore's medical team.
"So you're saying that the medical researchers you hired can uncover the secrets in my blood?" Chen Feng asked tentatively.
Moore said naturally, "Of course I'm not 100% sure. But you yourself are well aware of the value of your miraculous blood. Even if researchers only uncover part of its secrets, its value is considerable. Therefore, all the investment is worthwhile."
Even if we ultimately fail to discover anything, it's okay. Many venture capital investments are destined to result in total loss from the very beginning. But as long as you're still alive, as long as that divine blood flows in your veins, I won't lose out, and of course, you won't lose out either.
Chen Feng said coldly, "Since you know the characteristics of my blood, you should also understand that researchers cannot study my blood for a long time. Moreover, each study session only lasts two hours."
Furthermore, I cannot provide them with blood for research at any time. If you truly wish to cooperate with me, I can only guarantee a maximum of twenty milliliters of blood per month.
Moore shook his head and said, "Although I don't know much about medicine, I know that your blood volume is too low. Of course, we can consult a professional to discuss the specific amount of blood you need. So, you can tell us your requirements, and we will do our best to meet them."
Chen Feng shook his head, his attitude firm, and said, "I can only guarantee you a maximum of twenty milliliters of blood per month. If you don't agree, then this cooperation is void. You should be able to understand how I feel; I don't want to become a guinea pig, cooperating with your research at any time. The fact that I can provide you with so much blood every month already goes against my own principles. If you agree, we can cooperate; otherwise, I can only apologize."
Moore frowned slightly and asked, "Can't there be any more?"
Chen Feng shook his head directly, his attitude appearing very resolute.
Moore took another puff of his cigar, slowly exhaled a cloud of smoke, and then spoke again: "Then tell me your requirements and conditions."
Chen Feng didn't mince words, stating directly, "My request is simple. Each time you provide 20 milliliters of blood, you need to pay me 20 million Chinese Yuan, which is less than three million US dollars. I think that price is quite reasonable. I've sold blood to Carl Hicks before, and he demanded two hundred million US dollars back then."
As for you, the reason I'm offering such a low price is, frankly, because I'm afraid you'll continue to harass me endlessly or cause me trouble. Also, since we're a long-term partner, I'm giving you a discount—it's practically a fraction of a percent.
Chen Feng's words of admitting defeat surprised Moore for a moment, then she laughed and said, "Chen, you really are a very humorous person. We all know that you are not actually afraid of us, you have never been afraid of us from the beginning. Otherwise, you wouldn't have had Joseph deliver the message yesterday, asking me to come and meet you in person."
To be honest, I was a little angry when I first heard about your attitude from Joseph. But then I thought, you are, after all, a person with divine blood, God's favorite, so it's normal for you to be a bit arrogant. And since I made a special trip to meet you out of respect for God, it's nothing. Besides, I'm also very curious about you and wanted to see you, talk to you, and get to know each other.”
Chen Feng said calmly, "In your eyes, I might just be a research subject. I know your upper-class mentality all too well. If we're talking about real arrogance, you definitely have more than me."
Moore laughed heartily, pointed at Chen Feng with the two fingers holding his cigar, and said in a gentle tone, "You really are a very arrogant person. I don't see a trace of fear or apprehension in you. I only sense a faint hostility and a kind of disgust emanating from you. Am I right?"
Chen Feng smiled slightly and said bluntly, "Your intuition isn't wrong. I do still harbor some hostility towards you and the organization behind you. But isn't that normal? You've been scheming against me from the very beginning, so how could I possibly like you? As for loathing you, that's not really true."
People like you are used to being superior, used to looking down on us ordinary people from a God-like perspective. I just don't sense any equality from you. So, despite your personal charm, I just can't bring myself to like you.
Moore didn't seem angry at all after hearing this, a faint smile still on his face. He nodded slightly and said approvingly, "Your intuition is very sharp. Although I hate to admit it, I have to say that perhaps over the years, I've been in a higher position and have become accustomed to looking down on other people and things. But I must emphasize that you are not an ordinary person. From the first moment I saw you, I felt that I had been communicating with you on an equal footing, not from a condescending one. You may have misunderstood me on this point."
Chen Feng didn't want to waste any more words on this matter, so he changed the subject and asked, "So, are you willing to accept my terms of cooperation?"
This time, Moore didn't mince words and said directly, "In principle, I agree to your cooperation plan. However, I think it can be adjusted slightly. You will provide 50 milliliters of blood each month, preferably divided into five 10-milliliter doses. This will have virtually no impact on your health."
And I'm willing to pay you fifty million US dollars a month for this—note, US dollars, not Chinese currency. This isn't a huge sum, but I can add another condition: if you ever encounter any trouble in the future, you can come to me, and I'll help you resolve it.”
Chen Feng shook his head and refused, saying, "50 milliliters is too much. Dividing it into five servings is also too much. I see that you are indeed very sincere in cooperating, so I can only add up to 30 milliliters at most, divided into three servings of 10 milliliters each. The price is 30 million Dragon Kingdom coins. As for any trouble that may arise, that's not necessary."
Both Chen Feng and Moore knew they were financially secure. The amount of money wasn't the key issue. The crucial question was whether their partnership could maintain equality. If it couldn't, Chen Feng feared he would become subservient to Moore. Therefore, adopting a purely business-oriented, equal partnership attitude was the best course of action.
Furthermore, Chen Feng wasn't truly afraid of the other party; rather, he didn't want the fact that his blood could cure terminal illnesses to cause too much trouble. To avoid such trouble, he definitely needed to find some powerful partners.
His previous decision to grant treatment slots to the Lampson family and Carl Hicks was based on this consideration. But clearly, even with their protection, it couldn't prevent upper-class individuals like Moore from coveting the opportunity.
Chen Feng couldn't deal with this kind of person for the time being; he definitely couldn't win a fight. So, cooperation was the only option. Moreover, he needed to keep the initiative in this cooperation in his own hands.
Just the fact that the other party could command someone of Julian's caliber at the Department of Homeland Security showed how powerful his background was. Cooperating with someone of that level was like adding another layer of insurance for himself, saving him a lot of unnecessary trouble in the future. Faced with Chen Feng's condition, Moore nodded in agreement after only a brief consideration.
"Alright, it'll be 30 milliliters per month as you said. However, the price can be set at thirty million US dollars. I know you're not short of money, but you should also know that your blood is priceless. Thirty million US dollars is actually a very cheap price. If the price is any lower, it would be an insult to the divine blood flowing in your veins. Moreover, this is a gift from God, and you can't sell it to others so cheaply. Including me, you can't sell it too cheaply either."
The seller wanted to sell at a lower price, but the buyer refused and insisted on raising the price. That's just unbelievable.
Chen Feng also felt that it was a bit absurd.
Since the other party insisted on raising the price, he didn't hesitate much and nodded, saying, "Alright then. My blood, which can cure terminal illnesses, is indeed priceless. Selling 30 milliliters for 30 million US dollars isn't actually that expensive."
“Haha, I’m glad you can accept it. Your blood really can’t be sold cheaply.” Moore said with a smile. “Also, I think your five treatment slots per year are a bit too many. You can reduce it to three. The Lampson family is closer to you, so you can give them two slots, and one slot is enough for Carl Hicks.”
Chen Feng hadn't expected that Moore even knew about the five treatment slots he set aside each year. It seemed the other party had already obtained all the information they could.
"Judging from what you're saying, it seems you're not very interested in this treatment opportunity?" Chen Feng asked.
Moore exhaled a puff of smoke, smiled faintly, and said, "Your treatment slot is indeed very valuable. But in my eyes, your divine blood is the most precious. More importantly, I don't need to use this treatment slot to curry favor with anyone, or to expand my network of connections or do favors."
Chen Feng understood; the other person was indeed extremely arrogant. According to his words, he didn't need to flatter anyone, meaning others were the ones who had to flatter him. Moore's words, combined with his tone and expression, truly exuded an air of domineering arrogance. Chen Feng felt somewhat taken aback by the other person's pretense.
However, Chen Feng thought to himself: When you or your loved ones get a terminal illness, you will realize the importance of this treatment slot, and you will also realize the importance of me.
"So, your purpose in plotting against me was to study me? To study the magical blood flowing through my veins?" Chen Feng continued to ask.
Moore smiled mysteriously and said, "I did have that thought before, but not anymore. As I said, I'm very curious about you. I believe the divine blood in you is unique in this world. I'm very curious why God favors you so much. Also, I'm very curious if there are any other miraculous things about you? For example, how did you manage to evade arrest by the Department of Homeland Security twice? Don't tell me you learned about it from someone else beforehand."
Despite Moore's sharp gaze, Chen Feng remained calm and composed.
“As you just said, my intuition is very sharp. So I am also very perceptive of danger. I sensed the danger, so I avoided it in advance.”
"Is that all?" Moore asked skeptically. "You might have avoided it the first time because of your gut feeling, and you avoided it the second time too, but how did you know Julian? How did you know it was him who gave the order? And how did you know Joseph?"
Chen Feng smiled faintly and said, "You can take this as divine revelation. When I sensed danger, the names Julian and Joseph suddenly appeared in my mind. So I believed that they were targeting me. I had Lampson and Carl investigate, and they were right."
Moore stared at Chen Feng for a few more seconds before slightly shifting his gaze, flicking the ash from his cigar, and said, "Although I'm somewhat skeptical, I have to believe it. Because if we work backward from the result, your explanation is the most reasonable. You really are God's favorite; I'm even a little jealous of you now."
Seeing that the other party was really embarrassed, Chen Feng felt much better for no reason and casually said a witty remark: "Even someone like you is jealous of me, which really means that I am very outstanding now."
Moore glanced at Chen Feng, somewhat speechless, and the smile vanished from his face. However, he was remarkably tolerant of Chen Feng, this "favorite of God," and surprisingly didn't get angry.
"Actually, you and I might be similar. We're both the kind of people who think highly of themselves and have an inherent arrogance. I earned over a hundred million dollars in my teens through my own abilities. By the time I was thirty, I controlled a financial group worth hundreds of billions of dollars. As for you, it's just that God favored you, giving you everything you didn't have before when you were thirty: wealth, beautiful women, and incredible luck."
I know you won two big prizes after your divorce, especially the second one, which was over 60 million in the lottery. Then, after you came to America, you won another big prize. So I say you're God's favorite; your luck is incredible. And for someone as lucky as you, I don't want to offend you; on the contrary, I'd like to be your friend.”
Chen Feng questioned bluntly, "Then why did you send people to arrest me twice before? Were you planning to arrest me, lock me up, and then become friends with me?"
Moore wasn't embarrassed. He smiled and said frankly, "After the two failed attempts to capture you, I had someone conduct a more in-depth investigation into you. That's when I learned that you'd won several big prizes and that you're incredibly lucky. If I had known from the beginning that you were truly God's chosen one, how could I have ordered such a thing to be done? So, to express my apology, I've decided to give you this villa as an apology. As I said before, I only stay here for ten days to two weeks at most each year, and I have to hire people to clean and look after it regularly, so it's easier to just give it to you and save you the trouble."
Chen Feng looked at him with some surprise and asked directly, "How much is this villa?"
Moore replied calmly, "Not very expensive. I bought it for $1.35 million. Now, the market price has probably increased by tens of millions of dollars."
Although Chen Feng wasn't short of money, upon hearing the price and seeing the other party's tone and expression, he was once again fooled. The other party was clearly a show-off.
Chen Feng didn't think the other party was exaggerating the price. After all, he had seen it when he arrived; it was described as a villa, but it was actually an estate villa. The land area was at least thirty or forty acres, and the scale of the complex was quite large. (End of Chapter)
