Super Island Tycoon

Chapter 414: Chapter 413 Seeking Purchase

A long time ago, there was a significant event in the Yan Family. A super-rich businessman named Li in the Hong Kong region had his son kidnapped. The ruthless kidnappers demanded a ransom of 1 billion in order to release the son. For the safety of his child, the rich man named Li had no choice but to comply. Though the kidnappers were eventually captured by the Yan Family, it served as a stark warning to any wealthy businessman.

What good is money?

When faced with these external threats, no amount of money is sufficient for survival. Therefore, they often try every means to increase their hope and ability to survive.

However, to be honest, Jiang Cheng’s miraculous armor undoubtedly caught the attention of this group in an instant. It is simply the best armor in the world. The environment in the United States is well-known, different from the Yan Family, and even many people in America yearn for the lifestyle of the Yan Family. Why?

One reason, the most important one, is that there is no gun ban in the United States, and firearms can be freely used anywhere in the world.

In such a situation, the people of the United States are in deep distress, with news emerging now and then about firearms injuries to its people.

There’s no other way. In today’s society, there are too many mentally ill people, and they can access powerful weapons like firearms, leading to unimaginable consequences. Occasionally, someone would pick up a gun and commit crimes.

In such a situation, even the richest person must always be aware of their personal safety. What’s the use of hiring bodyguards? Aren’t bodyguards made of flesh and blood too?

No amount of money is enough for survival, so they usually find ways to increase their chances and ability to survive.

However, to be honest, Jiang Cheng’s miraculous armor undoubtedly caught the attention of this group in an instant. It is simply the best armor in the world. The environment in the United States is well-known, different from the Yan Family, and even many people in America yearn for the lifestyle of the Yan Family. Why?

Under such circumstances, they must seek more effective means of protection, and at this time, they turned to Jiang Cheng.

There’s nothing else to say, the most crucial point is seeing his Iron Man design. What a joke, is there anything that can prove the power of Jiang Cheng’s armor better than facing a police gunfire assault?

This is truly a good thing.

When Jiang Cheng heard this news, he also didn’t know what to do—what a joke?

That was Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Face, one of the most legendary people in the world.

But then he thought, is he, Jiang Cheng, really inferior to others?

The Cosmic Umbrella Company hasn’t been launched globally yet. If the company goes global, even Mark Zuckerberg might not be significant to him. But regarding his statement, Jiang Cheng actually found it quite amusing. If they really wanted to buy such Iron Man, their version in the United States should suffice.

Because it’s made by Yadman Metal, it basically wouldn’t be damaged when facing ordinary firearms.

But why did he come to him?

After thinking for a long time, Jiang Cheng finally figured it out. Even though Mark Zuckerberg claimed to have no official backing, anyone with a clear mind could see that it was impossible not to have official support behind the scenes.

If it weren’t for the assistance from the U.S. government, would Mark Zuckerberg have actively sought him out?

Moreover, the key is that for such a super-rich person, the U.S. might restrict the sale of Iron Man, but it poses no problem for him.

He, Jiang Cheng, would never believe that Mark Zuckerberg had no means to obtain that kind of super-alloy armor from the United States.

Most likely, he wanted to take the item back from him and study it.

But when Jiang Cheng thought of this, he laughed. If you all really take me for a fool, then don’t blame me for turning the tables.

Mr. Zuckerberg, I cannot accept your proposal because what our Cosmic Umbrella Company has developed is military equipment made according to the requirements of the Yan Family government. I really worry that you might leak it to the research institutions of the United States.

Yes, I, Jiang Cheng, am indeed a businessman, but in the face of national interests, I choose to serve the country and the people. Sorry, I absolutely cannot sell you this armor.

Jiang Cheng deliberately spoke in a tough tone, which instantly lowered the temperature of the conversation to freezing point. Analyzing simply from his tone, there was definitely no possibility of any transaction.

But who is Mark Zuckerberg?

In the world today, there are probably not many people who are truly richer than him.

After hearing Jiang Cheng’s words, Mark Zuckerberg laughed. He absolutely did not believe that there are things in this world that cannot be driven by profits. If there truly are, it’s merely because the profits are not large enough.

What was that famous saying?

It seems to have been said by the renowned great figure Markus in this world.

Capital comes into this world with every pore from head to toe dripping with blood and dirty things. Capital is fearful of no profit or too little profit just like Nature fears a vacuum.

Once there is an appropriate amount of profit, capital becomes bold. With 10% profit, it gets guaranteed to be used everywhere; with 20% profit, it becomes active; with 50% profit, it becomes daring; for 100% profit, it tramples all human laws; with 300% profit, it dares to commit any crime, even risking the gallows. If turmoil and strife bring profit, it will encourage this turmoil and strife. Smuggling and slave trade are proof.

So simple, the statement is too easy to understand. When the profit is large enough, even if they go against their own will and make decisions they themselves wouldn’t want, it’s still possible.

So he believes it must be because his offer was too low. If he offered a price that Jiang Cheng couldn’t refuse, then he would definitely be willing to sell it.

Mr. Jiang is joking, if the deal doesn’t go through, emotions remain, and you haven’t even heard my offer yet and are already this firmly rejecting it—wouldn’t that be somewhat impolite?

It must be said that Mark Zuckerberg is a real expert. Even with Jiang Cheng’s firm refusal, he is still able to glean the slightest hint of opportunity from small clues.
