Super Island Tycoon

Chapter 416: Chapter 415 Cunning

While making progress, others are also progressing, so there’s really nothing to dwell on here. It’s absolutely impossible to do better than the Yan Family.

Seeing Jiang Cheng’s resolute tone, Mark Zuckerberg coldly sneered internally. It seemed he had slightly underestimated this kid, who appeared very naive on the surface but was in fact as cunning as a little fox.

Cunning, extremely cunning.

He effortlessly pegged the price at an awkward level, even making Mark Zuckerberg have to admire Jiang Cheng’s negotiation skills.

Although both sides had their ulterior motives, the negotiation had to continue, didn’t it?

Mr. Jiang, isn’t your price a bit too much? Frankly speaking, I don’t think this Iron Man Armor is worth that much money. Even at 5 billion, I’m offering my utmost concession out of consideration for personal safety,” Mark Zuckerberg resolutely responded. Although he was the richest man in the world, it was indeed hard for him to casually produce 10 billion US dollars.

However, Jiang Cheng didn’t think much and directly caught a loophole in Mark Zuckerberg’s tone, cleverly responding, ”Mr. Zuckerberg, may I ask, do you consider your life more important or money more important?

This sentence could be described as a universal answer, but in this occasion, it was absolutely sufficient to render Mark Zuckerberg speechless.

Just one sentence was enough to leave the other side with nothing more to say.

As expected, upon hearing these words, Mark Zuckerberg was immediately stunned. Life or money, he had pondered this question before, and naturally, life was more important.

But no one was a fool. Was spending such a huge amount just for this thing really worth it?

Please reconsider. You’ve seen the sturdiness of our Iron Man, surely the most durable bulletproof armor in the world. Considering your stature, nothing suits you better,” Jiang Cheng coldly replied, ready to hang up the call.

However, Mark Zuckerberg became anxious. He had gone to great lengths to find Jiang Cheng to discuss this matter, but unexpectedly, this guy wanted to abandon the conversation without a word, leaving him stunned.

Wait, Mr. Jiang, in terms of money, we really can’t make such a big concession, but we can renegotiate from another perspective.” Cold sweat broke out on Mark Zuckerberg’s forehead, as he realized he had unknowingly fallen into Jiang Cheng’s pace.

Jiang Cheng cleverly used an exaggerated demand—this seemingly simple provoking tactic—to trap Mark Zuckerberg in a mental corner. Now, Jiang Cheng could easily manipulate Mark Zuckerberg’s vital interests, depending on what price he wanted.

”Good, that’s what I’ve been waiting for,” Jiang Cheng smiled. When Zuckerberg said those words, he was already completely within Jiang Cheng’s trap.

To be honest, money wasn’t really that useful.

With Jiang Cheng’s abilities, he could easily acquire wealth anywhere in the world, but some things weren’t as easy, such as understanding the world and better controlling various resources, which were far more important.

Seeing Jiang Cheng’s gleaming eyes, a slight shiver ran through Mark Zuckerberg. He wondered if he had made a mistake somewhere?

Unexpectedly, this guy across hadn’t shown any excitement. To Mark, during the brief talk, despite everything, Jiang Cheng presented himself like a true gentleman, with a blank expression, unaffected even when mentioning a colossal figure like 10 billion—it seemed to him just like grocery shopping and haggling for ten dollars with elderly people at the market.

It was apparent that money did not matter to him, so what exactly did Jiang Cheng want?

Mark Zuckerberg found himself indecisive. He had never dealt with such an opponent before, so it was completely normal that he didn’t know how to respond.

Meanwhile, Jiang Cheng laughed. It was his first genuine smile throughout the negotiation: ”I’ve always admired Mr. Mark Zuckerberg and have a particular interest in his company, Facebook.

You must know, Mr. Zuckerberg is considered a miracle of the 21st century, so it’s perfectly normal for me to look up to him. This time I can accept your terms, and 5 billion is fine—we can even provide two sets of armor, but I have one condition.

I hope to personally visit the Facebook headquarters for a tour.

When these words came out, Mark Zuckerberg almost instinctively wanted to decline, but he reconsidered. He couldn’t understand why Jiang Cheng would make such a request.

Even if admiration for oneself seemed normal—there were already countless people in the world who thought Mark Zuckerberg was amazing, so a few more wouldn’t make a difference.

But the key issue was, who was this person?

After all, this was Jiang Cheng, the top genius in the tech field from the Yan Family. For him to request a visit was practically impossible for Zuckerberg to refuse.

But the crux was, with current strained relations between the two countries, could he genuinely guarantee that Jiang Cheng visiting Facebook headquarters bore no ill-will?

Even Mark Zuckerberg didn’t dare to assure this. Frankly, if any critical intelligence was accidentally leaked to Jiang Cheng, he wouldn’t be able to bear the consequences.

”Sorry, we cannot accept this request,” Mark Zuckerberg honestly said, as the matter involved was too significant, he couldn’t rashly make this decision.

Yet Jiang Cheng didn’t have much else to say in response. He just blandly replied, ”If we can’t reach an agreement, then let’s drop it.”

Jiang Cheng decided to just let it go, which left Mark Zuckerberg dumbfounded. How could it end so abruptly?

Wait, do you mean that if this condition is unacceptable, you’re not going to sell?” Mark Zuckerberg hastily tried to stop Jiang Cheng because that wouldn’t work.

Even if Jiang Cheng couldn’t be allowed to visit, they needed his Iron Man technology.

If they let him go now, things could become troublesome.

”In short, I’ll just say this: if you want our Yan Family’s Iron Man, open up for me to visit Facebook headquarters. There’s no other way,” Jiang Cheng stated in an extremely firm tone, indicating there was nothing more to discuss.
