Chapter 663 WPG Expands its Network! A Hot Potato? A Win-Win Situation! An Alternative Product?

When An Wuyang offered to express his curiosity about 'Lucius Malfoy's' identity, Song Jiakun hesitated slightly.

What does "安无恙" mean?
Test?
After a slight hesitation, Song Jiakun followed up on An Wuyang's question, "Mr. An, could you reveal Mr. Malfoy's identity?"

Given that they were currently alone together, Song Jiakun felt that An Wuyang did not need to test him.

If you really suspect him, you should investigate secretly, not test him in public.

An Wuyang did not reveal 'Lucius Malfoy's' identity, but instead asked, "Does President Song know any senior management at Tianfu Aircraft Industry Group?"

“I need senior management who can make decisive decisions,” An Wuyang added.

Song Jiakun answered affirmatively, "I know him, and we have a pretty good relationship."

Rongcheng Life and Health Group has a government background, as does Tianfu Aircraft Industry Group, which is a military-affiliated industrial group.

Furthermore, since both are headquartered in Chengdu, it's normal for there to be some overlap in their interpersonal relationships.

“I know Shi Bin, the senior vice president of Tianfu Aircraft Industry Group. He has a lot of decision-making power,” Song Jiakun replied.

"Contact him and if he has time, invite him over for tea," An Wuyang instructed.

Song Jiakun readily agreed, and then, without avoiding An Wuyang, directly contacted Shi Bin by phone.

While waiting for the call to be answered, Song Jiakun got straight to the point, "President Shi, I'm having tea at the Cloud Tea House in Longquan Mountain. If you come over now, I'll introduce you to President An of Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group."

Shi Bin and Song Jiakun were indeed very close, and he had heard of An Wuyang before. So when he heard that he was to be introduced to An Wuyang, Shi Bin responded without hesitation, "No problem, I'll be right there, I'll definitely be there within an hour."

"As soon as possible!" Song Jiakun responded with a reminder.

“Okay!” Shi Bin readily agreed.

After ending the call, Song Jiakun looked at An Wuyang and said, "President An, it's all done!"

“Then let’s wait for President Shi. I’ll talk to him when he arrives,” An Wuyang replied.

So the two started chatting about all sorts of things, eventually steer the conversation back to the medical field.

Song Jiakun proactively brought up the topic, "Has President An been paying attention to the Ruizhi project recently?"

“I haven’t been following it,” An Wuyang replied bluntly.

The Wise Project was directly managed by the three major hospitals, and Wu Gengtian simply did not have the relevant technical capabilities, so An Wuyang naturally did not pay attention to it and did not want to.

“We are particularly interested in the Wise Wisdom Project,” Song Jiakun explained.

Rongcheng Life and Health Group holds a 1.3% stake in the Ruizhi project, so it's normal for them to be interested in it.

“We’ve discovered a problem.” Song Jiakun hesitated before speaking.

"What's the problem?" An Wuyang asked calmly.

Song Jiakun remained silent for five or six seconds before speaking, "Professor Zhou's research might have overstepped a little bit."

An Wuyang raised his hand to stop him, "We don't know anything about these things at dawn!"

Song Jiakun immediately understood An Wuyang's meaning; it turned out that An Wuyang had already given enough hints beforehand!
An Wuyang's statement that he did not pay attention to the Ruizhi project at dawn is actually an attempt to shirk responsibility.

In the medical field, it's not a big problem for research to sometimes overstep boundaries!

Have you ever seen medical research published in international medical journals that still cannot explain the origin of organs?

There are countless instances of people crossing boundaries!
An Wuyang didn't want to get involved, nor did he want to be involved, much less act as a benevolent saint.

After all, An Wuyang is from Shengqing, not some benevolent person, much less a reincarnation of a Buddha.

An Wuyang knew all too well what the true nature of this world was like.

In fact, An Wuyang was well aware that it wasn't just Professor Zhou Ming from Xichuan People's Hospital who overstepped his bounds; Professor Huang Rui from the Affiliated Tiantan Hospital of Beijing Medical University and Professor Liu Jinzhi from the Affiliated Union Hospital of Beijing Union Medical College also overstepped their bounds.

But so what?

At least they have a bottom line!
If An Wuyang were even a little more ruthless, he would have joined forces with external forces to conduct parallel research on the Wise Project.

If either Europa or the pharmaceutical giants of the United States get involved, there will definitely be even more transgressions.

You're researching Alzheimer's disease, right?

Beware of those pharmaceutical giants in Europe and the United States treating Alzheimer's patients as consumables!

It was just past three in the afternoon.

A man who was about 1.7 meters tall, with dark skin but quite stocky build, walked into the Cloud Tea House and looked in the direction of An Wuyang and Song Jiakun.

Duan Zhiqiang and Liang Pei also looked at each other.

"Old Song!" Shi Bin called out loudly. He also saw Duan Zhiqiang and Liang Pei, and secretly guessed that the two must be An Wuyang's bodyguards.

Therefore, Shi Bin directly greeted Song Jiakun loudly to avoid any potential trouble.

Song Jiakun saw Shi Bin and greeted him, "Mr. Shi, over here."

Duan Zhiqiang and Liang Pei immediately looked away from Shi Bin, and Shi Bin walked towards Song Jiakun and An Wuyang.

When they reached the two men, An Wuyang and Song Jiakun stood up to greet them. It wasn't that Shi Bin was of higher status; standing up to greet them was simply basic courtesy.

"Greetings, Mr. An. I've long admired your reputation. Meeting you in person is truly a pleasure!" Shi Bin said with flattery.

An Wuyang laughed heartily, "President Shi is really funny!"

"Please have a seat, Mr. Shi. We don't do fancy business flattery. I asked Mr. Song to introduce me to you today because I hope to cooperate with you," An Wuyang said quickly.

Song Jiakun looked slightly taken aback.

Wugengtian wants to cooperate with Tianfu Aircraft Industry Group.
Shi Bin was also somewhat surprised!
Shi Bin knew very well that Wugengtian and Rongcheng Life and Health Group had a cooperative relationship. Now that Wugengtian wanted to cooperate with their Tianfu Aircraft Industry Group, did they want to kick Song Jiakun and his group out of the game?

An Wuyang noticed the change in their expressions and added with a smile, "President Song, don't overthink it. Our cooperation between Wugengtian and Tianfu Aircraft Industry Group will not affect our cooperative relationship."

Song Jiakun immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Shi Bin then became curious, "In which area does President An plan to cooperate?"

An Wuyang took out his phone, unlocked it, and handed over a document.

Shi Bin immediately took An Wuyang's phone to check it.

'THOR Project?' Shi Bin looked shocked when he saw the title, because he knew about this Thor project.

Shi Bin continued to examine the document. This document was not detailed information, but rather a brief introduction to the Thor project.

In less than two minutes, Shi Bin finished reading the introduction to the Thor project. He looked at An Wuyang and asked, "What does President An mean?"

“We have detailed information about this project, including design drawings, technical parameters, and so on. I think that once Tianfu Aircraft Industry obtains this information, it should be able to produce the corresponding product, right?” An Wuyang said calmly and directly.

"Huh?" Shi Bin was stunned. Was this a winning hand from the start?

Shi Bin originally wanted to test why An Wuyang wanted to bring up the information about the Thor project, but An Wuyang immediately revealed all the information with a bombshell.

"Does President Shi have connections with the National Security Bureau?" An Wuyang asked casually.

As Tianfu Aircraft Industry Group is part of the military's industrial chain, An Wuyang believes that Shi Bin is very likely to know relevant personnel from the National Security Bureau.

“President Shi can inquire about this project. I believe they should know something, or have heard some rumors,” An Wuyang added.

This statement not only indicates that the Thor project can be verified, but also reveals some trump cards, thus subtly flexing muscles and demonstrating strength.

"Please wait a moment, Mr. An." After saying this, Shi Bin got up and left the Cloud Tea House. He really needed to contact his friend in the National Security Bureau.

Song Jiakun listened from the side, completely bewildered, but he obediently drank his tea and made no attempt to ask any questions.

Outside the Cloud Tea House, Shi Bin got into his car and took out his second phone to make a call.

A moment later, a voice came from the other end, "Password."

“SB945,” Shi Bin gave his command.

"What's the matter?" the person on the other end immediately asked.

"Any recent news about the Raytheon project in the Bald Eagles?" Shi Bin asked.

The other party immediately retorted, "From what source did you hear about Project Thor?"

Shi Bin answered truthfully, "An Wuyang got the Thor project at dawn."

"I see!" the other party exclaimed, and then began to explain, "We received information earlier that Project Raytheon had been stolen by an employee within DARPA."

"The perpetrators infiltrated Tyrande and then completely disappeared there," an unknown source from the National Security Agency continued to reveal.

"It seems that they obtained this information at dawn. What does 'dawn' mean now?" the unknown person asked.

Shi Bin answered without hiding anything, "The other party hopes to cooperate with us, but we have not yet started discussing the terms of cooperation."

"It's not that they haven't tried to negotiate; they've actually started revealing information to us," the unknown person remarked.

"The fact that they were able to obtain this information from Tyrande means that they possess immense power in Tyrande, enough to rival the CIA," the unknown individual analyzed.

"Furthermore, based on this incident, I'm now starting to suspect that the death of the CIA's deputy station chief in Tokyo was orchestrated by Gokyo!" the unknown person added.

"The reason I'm telling you this intelligence is that I hope you can make some concessions in your negotiations with Wu Gengtian, except for issues that cross your bottom line," the unknown person advised.

"Understood!" Shi Bin replied.

After the call ended, Shi Bin returned to the Cloud Tea House.

"President An, how do you two plan to cooperate?" Shi Bin probed An Wuyang's conditions.

An Wuyang calmly replied, "We don't have any overly demanding conditions. There's only one hard condition: we can give this project to your Tianfu Aircraft Industry."

Shi Bin raised an eyebrow, waiting for An Wuyang to state his conditions.

"As for our hard conditions, it is that once you have produced the finished product, we can make the purchases at dawn," An Wuyang stated his hard conditions.

As for giving away the technology for free, that would actually be throwing away a hot potato.

Bald Eagle's stuff is not easy to take!

If Wugeng (the fifth watch of the night) had the ability to make this, An Wuyang wouldn't mind taking the hot potato until it cooled down.

But the problem is, where would one find such ability and resources in the early hours of the morning?
Wugengtian can't even figure out pharmaceutical research and development, so why is he trying to get into the military industry?

Don't joke around!
An Wuyang himself couldn't help but laugh at this makeshift troupe at dawn.
Shi Bin paused for a moment, then said hesitantly, "Don't you charge money at dawn?"

Even if Wujingtian doesn't want this information about Project Thor, he can still sell it, and he'll definitely be able to get a high price for it.

According to Shi Bin's estimate, he dares not say more, but one hundred million US dollars is definitely not a problem.

However, the transaction process may be somewhat complicated and involve risks.

Because once it's put up for trade, it could be tracked by the bald eagle's intelligence agencies, or even relentlessly.

"Do we need money at dawn?" An Wuyang asked jokingly.

"We actually got this by accident at dawn, so it's better to give this hot potato to you. You shouldn't be afraid of bald eagles, right?" An Wuyang continued to tease.

Shi Bin answered affirmatively, "We're really not afraid!"

"Then I'll give them to you!" An Wuyang said generously.

A mere piece of information that is useless to Wugengtian can not only be exchanged for the right to purchase finished products, but also divert trouble to other places and win the friendship of Tianfu Aircraft Industry Group, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

Shi Bin still sounded somewhat incredulous, "Really?"

An Wuyang immediately retorted, half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Don't say those words in front of me next time!"

“This is my girlfriend’s catchphrase. It sounds weird to me when other people say it,” An Wuyang added.

Shi Bin was embarrassed. "Mr. An, are you really going to give this to me?"

“Really, it’s a gift!” An Wuyang replied.

"Old Duan," An Wuyang greeted.

Duan Zhiqiang immediately took a small metal box out of his pocket and placed it on the tea table.

An Wuyang gestured to Shi Bin to open the small metal box, which contained two USB flash drives.

“Here, all the information you requested is in there, and a backup has been made in case of any accidents. Take it and study it to see when you can produce the finished product,” An Wuyang explained.

Shi Bin responded, "If there are no problems with the information, we are confident that we can produce the finished product within six months."

This speed is already very fast!
In this high-tech era, having blueprints, data, and technical parameters does not guarantee a 100% successful product.

For example, when the United States wanted to resume production of the F-22 fighter jet, it found that they seemed unable to rebuild it.

Because it's not just a lack of skilled workers on the production line, but also a lack of suppliers, the investment needed to rebuild these production conditions would even exceed the investment required to develop a new generation of fighter jets.

Therefore, the restart of the F-22 fighter jet program was shelved.

The Tianfu Aircraft Industry Group faces the same problem when it comes to producing the finished product for the Raytheon project. They need to thoroughly understand all the technical data and parameters before they can begin production.

Compressing the entire process to six months is just empty talk from Shi Bin; the actual outcome is uncertain.

However, An Wuyang does not urgently need products from the Raytheon project, because Tianfu Aircraft Industry Group has products that can replace the Raytheon project.

Given the current relationship between An Wuyang and Tianfu Aircraft Industry Group, is there any problem with him buying such products?
