464 For Our Friendship (2/2)
When he heard Natasha's words, he fell into silence.
After a long pause, Jiang Chen asked.
”How are you planning to partner up?”
”Three plans. First, sell your technology to us, and promise that it won't be released to a third party. We'll purchase it at one hundred million USD.”
”Too low, I don't want to sell it.”
Other than too low, the organic boiler that's used in manufacturing of the nutrient supply possessed too many advanced technologies. Just with a particle filter inside, it is something that current technology cannot achieve. The recipe for the nutrient supply itself is not expensive; the expensiveness comes from the technology used to produce it.
Natasha was not surprised by Jiang Chen's response. She put up a second finger.
”Second, we'll give you the policy to build a plant in our country. We have a wealth of labor resources and a raw materials market.”
”I'm only planning to build the nutrient supply plant on Ange Island. After so many things have happened, I don't feel very safe. You know,” Jiang Chen said emotionlessly.
Natasha gave Jiang Chen a hard stare. She took a deep breath before extending out her third finger.
”Three, you produce, we import.”
”The military type?”
”Of course.” Natasha nodded.
Jiang Chen was silent.
”Could I know how much you're ordering?”
”20 million per month.”
20 million per month? If it were not for the fact that the nutrient supply in the modern world pursued low calories, the cost would be much lower. The nutrient supply now must be produced with DH seaweed, but if the wasteland nutrient supply was manufactured, any fruit and vegetable could be used as the ingredient to produce nutrient supply above A grade.
And the cost of fruit and meat was meager for Xin, a near significant farm product exporting country.
”What kind of price could you accept?” Jiang Chen asked.
”3 USD per nutrient supply.” Natasha proposed in anxiousness.
The average food cost for a Russian soldier per day is 351 Rubles which is equivalent to 4.6 USD. Based on the consideration that the nutrient supply could replace regular dietary needs, if the nutrient supply is not high in cost, it is no longer a burden for the Russian military to replace food as it could decrease military spending in that area. And due to the ease of storage of nutrient supply, to use military supply as a strategic supply for storage, it could also save a big chunk of the budget.
But based on the nutrient supply's current price of 6.1 USD per nutrient supply, they could not afford it.
So when Natasha proposed the price point, she was very anxious as she feared that Jiang Chen would consider their price point too low and disagree with the proposal outright.
Too low?
Jiang Chen thought it was high.
Jiang Chen calculated in his head. A normal nutrient supply had a cost 1 USD, much lower than the improved nutrient supply. Would the profit of 2 USD per nutrient supply be too greedy?
Especially since it was effortless to increase the production of this nutrient supply; there was no need to expand DH seaweed's farm area. It could also be produced with normal vegetables and even the leftovers from restaurants.
Jiang Chen glanced at Natasha, seeing how tense she looked, she was afraid that he would reject.
[Since you don't think it is expensive, I will sell it to you.]
Jiang Chen coughed and pretended to be serious.
”Although it is lower than what I expected, based on our friendly relationship… deal.”
A charming smile immediately appeared on Natasha' face, she clearly looked relieved.
”Thank you for your generosity, I wish the best of luck to both of us.”
”No need.” The tip of Jiang Chen's mouth carved up.
Natasha slightly raised her eyebrows, puzzled at Jiang Chen's expression.
The faint smile on his face made her feel like she was tricked, but she couldn't tell where she got tricked.
