Chapter 1297

.

Zhang Hongwen was representing the National Defense Department. It was obvious that he had his eyes on the Behavior Dynamic Recognition Engine.

As for the three real security companies, they were probably just there to accompany the crown prince in his studies. They were purely there to accompany the Mirui Technology Group.

Shi Lei smiled. "Director Zhang, the Leize Company is very powerful, and they also hope to cooperate with the National Defense Department. Why don't we choose them?"

Zhang Hongwen snorted with disdain. Shi Lei's analysis was correct. How could the National Defense Department think highly of the strength of the three security companies?

Even the Unyielding Shield Company, which had so many honors and dazzling achievements, was worthless in the eyes of the National Defense Department.

It was like a preschool kid showing off his strength to a strongman. The two were not on the same level. It was ridiculous!

Just as the atmosphere was getting awkward, the waiter with a white handkerchief came to the door and said, "Mr. Zhang, the Zhenshan Banquet is ready."

Zhang Hongwen nodded. "Serve the dishes! Let's eat first. We'll talk later. "

The Zhenshan Banquet was Drunken Immortal's specialty. Even with Shi Lei's picky taste, he was very satisfied with the meal. He even secretly decided to come again tomorrow.

After finishing the meal, night gradually fell.

Zhang Hongwen said politely, "That's all for today. I'll contact everyone again." After that, Zhang Hongwen was the first to leave.

After Zhang Hongwen left, Dong Haoran took a deep look at Shi Lei. He chuckled and said, "Director Shi, please support me in the future!" Although Dong Haoran said that he would support him, he didn't exchange business cards and left directly.

Lei Longjun glanced at Shi Lei and snorted. "You don't know what's good for you!"

Shi Lei didn't care about Lei Longjun. He wouldn't shout back when he heard a dog barking, right?

When only Shi Lei and Xiao Qingsong were left in the Dongxiang Pavilion, Xiao Qingsong gave a rare reminder. "Director Shi, the National Defense Department is interested in your company's technology. Think about it carefully and fight for a suitable condition. Let go!"

"Thank you!" Shi Lei nodded to show that he understood.

Xiao Qingsong nodded and left the Eastern Fragrance Pavilion.

Shi Lei chuckled and turned to walk out of the door. But just as he walked out, the waiter in coarse linen with a white handkerchief over his shoulder called out to Shi Lei.

"Mr. Shi, please come this way. Mr. Zhang is waiting for you at the Tranquility Pavilion. He would like to invite you to have a cup of tea." The waiter bowed slightly to show his respect.

The corners of Shi Lei's mouth curved upwards. "Okay!"

Tranquility Pavilion was an octagonal pavilion. The winter in the capital was a bit cold, so curtains were hung between the pillars of the octagonal pavilion to block the cold air.

Shi Lei entered the Tranquility Pavilion. Zhang Hongwen's expression was solemn as he said coldly, "Sit! Try the authentic Yuqian Longjing! "

Shi Lei sat down. Shi Lei didn't know much about tea. Whether it was the wild tea that cost eight yuan per catty, the good tea that cost eight hundred yuan per catty, or the legendary tea that cost eight hundred yuan per catty, they all tasted the same to Shi Lei.

Zhang Hongwen seemed to know a lot about tea, and he could tell that Shi Lei didn't know much about it. So, he slowly tasted the tea alone. It seemed that he didn't want to discuss with Shi Lei about the Behavioral Dynamic Recognition Engine.

Shi Lei wasn't in a hurry either.

Shi Lei used to be a rookie in business negotiations, but after learning from Mu Shuang, Shi Lei had become a barely qualified negotiator.

In this situation, it was best for Shi Lei to remain silent.

About half an hour later, Zhang Hongwen seemed to have swallowed a lot of water. He couldn't help but ask, "Director Shi, I wonder if Mirui Technology is willing to cooperate with the National Defense Department?"

While Zhang Hongwen was drinking tea, Shi Lei was using the LIP Lens Information Processor to check the weird posts on Dream Entertainment's official forum. How could he lose his cool?

"Haha!" Shi Lei chuckled. He didn't say yes, but he didn't say no either.

Zhang Hongwen said unhappily, "Director Shi, are you willing to give me a definite answer so that I can give a reply to the leader?"

Shi Lei spread out his hands and said with a bitter smile, "Can I refuse? You investigated me thoroughly and even asked Commander He of Rongcheng Military District to pass a message to me. Isn't this just to show that you have everything under control and I have a choice? "

A smug look flashed across Zhang Hongwen's face. They didn't contact Shi Lei directly. In fact, they had already investigated everything. For example, the relationship between the Online Entertainment Review Department and Dream Entertainment, and the cooperation between Mirui Technology Group and Rongcheng Military District. The National Defense Department was very clear about all of this.

The National Defense Department had a very high position in the Xia Xia. Simply put, the National Defense Department was the superior department of the seven military districts in the Xia Xia.

To put it more simply, the head of the National Defense Department was He Zhenbang's immediate superior!

"Director Zhang, Mirui Technology Group and Rongcheng Military District are very close partners. I wonder how the National Defense Department intends to cooperate with Mirui Technology Group?" Shi Lei pretended to be unhappy and asked. Actually, Shi Lei didn't lose anything by handing over the Dynamic Behavior Recognition Engine. Instead, it would weave an intelligence network for Shi Lei throughout Jing City.

However, Shi Lei didn't intend to hand over the Dynamic Behavior Recognition Engine to the National Defense Department for free, based on the principle of "taking benefits when there are benefits" and the mentality of "things that are too easy to get are not precious".

Zhang Hongwen's eyes narrowed and flashed with a dangerous light. "Director Shi, what benefits do you want?" Zhang Hongwen's question was very direct. At the same time, it implied a warning, indicating that Shi Lei shouldn't be too greedy.

Shi Lei smiled and said, "Director Zhang, how much do you think the Dynamic Behavior Recognition Engine is worth? Or rather, what can the National Defense Department give me? "

"Director Shi, the Dynamic Behavior Recognition Engine is very important to national security. Even if the National Defense Department directly expropriates it from Mirui Technology Group, it is still in accordance with the law." Zhang Hongwen slowly threatened.

Shi Lei sneered. "Why do I remember that the law of our country clearly states that private property is sacred and inviolable?"

In fact, Article 68 of the Constitution of the Xia Xia clearly stated that the legal private property of the citizens was inviolable.

The ownership of the Dynamic Behavior Recognition Engine belonged to Fantasy Technology Company, Mirui Technology Group, and Shi Lei.

Naturally, it would be protected by the law of the Xia Xia Country! Even the National Defense Department couldn't forcibly seize it with great fanfare!

As for some of the urban reforms in the Xia Xia Country that didn't protect private property, that was a complete illusion. In fact, such behavior didn't violate the law.

That was because the law of the Xia Xia Country stated that every inch of land belonged to the country and not private property. Therefore, it couldn't be protected by the law.

Zhang Hongwen laughed. "Director Shi, I'm just kidding! To liven up the atmosphere, don't mind it! "In the face of Shi Lei's tough attitude, Zhang Hongwen immediately changed the topic.

Obviously, Zhang Hongwen was just testing the waters. If Shi Lei's attitude softened, he might really hand over the Dynamic Behavior Recognition Engine for nothing. It was a pity that they didn't understand Shi Lei's character.

"Director Zhang, let's stop joking. What I want is very simple. If you can agree to it, I can represent Mirui Technology Group and authorize the use of the Dynamic Behavior Recognition Engine to the Capital City area for free." Shi Lei limited the area of authorization to only the Capital City area.

This wasn't because Shi Lei didn't want to expand the intelligence network to the entire country. It was because Shi Lei's computing resources weren't enough to support the entire intelligence network.

At the same time, authorizing the entire country at once seemed a little too cheap compared to the price the National Defense Department would have to pay.

"What do you want?" Zhang Hongwen understood what Shi Lei meant. If he only authorized the Capital City area, that was all the National Defense Department needed.

Shi Lei snapped his fingers. "Director Zhang, how many people in our country have private jets now?" Shi Lei didn't directly say what he wanted. Instead, he changed the question and induced the answer.

Although Zhang Hongwen's identity information revealed that he was a playboy, since he was a playboy and was able to sit in the position of Director of the National Defense Department, he naturally couldn't be an idiot.

"Do you want a flight permit?" Zhang Hongwen guessed the answer immediately and couldn't help but ask in a relaxed tone.

A flight permit might be very difficult for ordinary people to obtain. But for a rich person who owned a private jet, it wasn't impossible to obtain.

Shi Lei nodded. "Director Zhang, like I said, what I want is very simple, right?"

"No problem! I'll arrange for a flight permit for you immediately. It will be sent to you within 79 hours. By the way, what kind of private jet do you own? Gulfstream? Bombardier? Or something else? "Zhang Hongwen asked in detail.

Shi Lei shook his head. "None of them! These planes are too small! I want to book a Boeing 202 civilian jet and convert it into a private jet. "

Zhang Hongwen rolled his eyes. A Boeing 202 that could accommodate about 755 passengers was converted into a private jet?

But converting a Boeing 202 civilian jet into a private jet was not unprecedented. It was even sought after by the world's tycoons.

For example, Microsoft's boss, Bill Gates, owned a Boeing 202 that was converted into a private jet. Of course, converting a civilian jet into a private jet was not cheap. Just the jet alone cost about 75 million USD. If there were special requirements, it might cost another 65 million USD.

But a mere 85 million USD was not a big sum for Shi Lei. After all, the two neutrino communication devices on The First Light cost 95 million USD.

"How is it, Director Zhang?" Director Zhang, can you handle it? "Shi Lei asked expectantly.
