Chapter 1240 - A Special Reward (2/2)
Even on the far side of the Pacific Ocean, there were strong supporters of Jiang Chen’s words.
For example, a certain UA election candidate who threatened to “wrestle” with Jiang Chen even expressed regret on a talk show: “He is a respectable opponent, you know who I am referring to. If our country wants to be strong, we must have a strong leader to remind those who commit crimes with their race and religion to get out of our country. I think I happen to be such a strong leader; you can vote for me…”
Although most of the people were no longer surprised by this candidate’s unthoughtful remarks, this time he did actually offend the black population. There were even black senates that spoke vocally against him and asked the Republican Party to disqualify his eligibility for the March primaries.
Of course, Trump did not intend to be soft. After all, his candidacy had been filled with controversies from the very start, and the number of people that asked for his disqualification could not even be counted with just one hand. However, out of the consideration of the votes, he emphasized that the remark was only directed against terrorists and illegal immigrants…
“You have been jointly condemned.”
In the evening, Natasha in her dressing gown went to the living room, threw a newspaper on the coffee table, and then sat down across from Jiang Chen. She leaned back on the sofa and lazily raised her beautiful legs, “The Voice of Blacks accused you that the condolences to James were not sincere enough, saying that even if James’ wife abandons the legal proceedings against Future Group and Celestial Trade, they will still take you to court for this incident.”
“Where do they want to sue me? Moscow?” Jiang Chen teased.
“In Mississippi.”
“My geography is not very good,” Jiang Chen yawned as he watched her deliberately reveal her neckline, then he said with a smirk. “Compared to this boring topic, we might as well use this time to do something more interesting.”
“Are you not worried at all?” After she changed the position of her legs, Natasha raised her eyebrows slightly and curiously asked, “I heard that they are calling for a boycott of Future Group products.”
“If they can bear the life of the primitive, I’m not against it.” Jiang Chen laughed.
From Phantom helmets to smart robots to Future phones and urban drone systems, Future Group was almost equated with the term next generation that covered all aspects of people’s lives.
Technologies were addictive. Just like a person who was used to using smartphones would never go back to using an old flip phone. The feeling of being behind on trends would be more painful than anything else. And this very reason was why the UA has kept a cautious attitude about launching an anti-dumping investigation against Future Group.
Even if Future Group was already an evident monopoly on the market, the UA has yet to find a company that can replace Future Group.
Even Microsoft and Google could not complete this feat. One had to pay high patent fees to the Future Group for graphene chips, while the other simply imported a large number of supercomputing chips from Ange Island every year to maintain its own servers around the world. …
“Well, since you don’t take those people to heart at all, I have nothing to say,” Natasha shrugged, “I went to the Russian embassy today, and the Kremlin wanted me to ask you. How is the situation on Mars? And, do you really not need help?”
“I’m pretty sure we don’t need help. Our transport ship should reach the Mars synchronous orbit in five days at the latest.” Jiang Chen smiled, “Instead, when will your scientists come?”
“The specimen has been delivered?! So fast?” Natasha looked at Jiang Chen in surprise.
“Yeah… to be precise, two hours ago, the port of Celestial City has received the freezer compartment containing Devil Worm specimen.” Jiang Chen laughed at Natasha’s expression as he said, “It should be already transported to the specimen library at the lab.”
He had already passed the news onto other member states just now. Since Natasha happened to be home, he thought he would tell her the news himself.
As for why, of course, it made things more interesting.
“Wait, received the freezer compartment? Didn’t you use a transport ship to deliver this specimen?” Natasha asked hurriedly.
“On the surface, yes,” Jiang Chen said, “It’s impossible for us to dissect specimens in front of the media, right? And what is suitable or not for publicity, these also need to be studied. So, we used a small carrier rocket that is used to transport ore to transport the specimens…Although the carrying capacity is not high, it can theoretically cruise at twice the speed of the Seagull-class transport ship.”
“I’m going to make a phone call,” Natasha got up immediately, “Russian scientists can board the plane now, and they will be at the Coro Airport by noon tomorrow.”
Natasha walked towards the stairs.
However, when she passed the sofa, Jiang Chen grabbed her arm.
“This is a valuable piece of information, my dear Miss Agent.” Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow and smirked. “Are you not going to give your ‘informant’ a little… special reward?”
Natasha couldn’t help but chuckle at the unique analogy, and she rolled her eyes with charm and dragged her arm from his hand.
She leaned down and blew a frivolous breath into his ear, then teased in a whimsical tone.
“Go to my room in a bit… remember to wash yourself before you come, so I can give you a reward from ‘Miss Agent’.”
