Chapter 101: Raymond, I Want to Invest 50 Billion in You!

“How many resources are there in the outer planets, even if you guess it out of thin air, you shouldn’t be able to guess!”

“And it is precisely because of the unknown that it is even more precious!”

“May I ask everyone, is this kind of investment beneficial enough?”

After Raymond asked, a middle-aged man below the stage asked, “The benefits are indeed great enough, but how can you guarantee that you can really build an interstellar level universe ship?”

“That’s right, we can’t just let our investment go down the drain!”

“Exactly! Empty words without proof!”

“Only a fool would make such an investment!”

Raymond smiled, this kind of situation, he had already expected it.

“Everyone, don’t be anxious, I haven’t finished speaking.”

Looking at the crowd that had calmed down, Raymond continued.

“If you want to invest in the Raymond Research Institute, I don’t have any guarantees!”

“However, during the research of the interstellar spaceship, the Raymond Research Institute will definitely break through all sorts of technologies, these technologies should be needed by everyone right?”

The moment these words were said, everyone below the stage was moved!

That’s right, even though the spaceship couldn’t be seen, but during the research of the spaceship, the technologies that broke through were all good stuff!

Whether it was artificial intelligence, high-strength materials, or a perfect ecosystem!

These things, in the hands of these people, were practically like green money!

Without waiting for someone to ask, Raymond’s expression suddenly became serious as he said, “However, I can tell everyone that you won’t be able to obtain these technologies. These breakthrough technologies will only be used by the military!”

“In other words, if everyone wants to invest in Raymond Research Institute, the only thing you will be able to obtain is the outer space resources that the future spaceship will bring back!”

Hong!

Everyone below the stage revealed an expression of disbelief!

What was this kid on stage saying?

Not only would he not give any guarantees, he didn’t even want to bring out the new technology that would allow the spaceship to break through?

The only thing that Raymond was willing to give was an illusory promise for the future!

Whether that spaceship could be built or not was still a question mark. What difference was there between this kind of promise and not saying anything?

Wasn’t this just a f*cking empty-handed trick?

Everyone looked angry, but Raymond continued to say with a smile, “If you don’t agree, then the Raymond Research Institute will not accept any investment. I also hope that everyone will not extend their hands over again!”

Everyone looked at each other. Everyone was secretly thinking about what Raymond was doing this for.

An intellectual beauty with long hair draped over her shoulders looked at Raymond with sparkling eyes, as if she was also thinking about Raymond’s intentions.

Raymond stood on the stage and thought for a moment before adding on.

“Please do not invest less than one billion US dollars! We will not accept investments that are lower than one billion US dollars!”

Good heavens.

This time, everyone looked at Raymond speechlessly!

This was the first time they had seen such an arrogant person!

It was as if Raymond was not here to invest, but to steal money!

Even if he wanted to rob, he would not be so fast and ruthless!

Raymond even specified the number of people who would be robbed!

If it was less than one billion, don’t come. We are too lazy to rob!

Raymond laughed as he looked at everyone below the stage. In his heart, he was thinking about something else!

He did this for two reasons!

The first was that he really did not want to muddy the waters of the research institute!

He didn’t want to muddy the waters of the lower-level staff! He didn’t want to muddy the decisions of the higher-ups!

Therefore, he couldn’t be bothered to accept any investment!

Anyway, the country gave him 50 billion a year. This amount of money was enough for him to squander.

It was completely unnecessary to accept outside investment.

However, Raymond had to bring this matter up, or else things would be very troublesome in the future!

The results of Raymond Research Institute were so popular that everyone wanted a piece of it!

In order to avoid this kind of thing, Raymond had to set the rules first!

If you can’t agree, then don’t reach out!

As long as you reach out, I’ll chop off your hand legally!

This was the first thought.

The second thought was that Raymond was looking for potential partners!

Raymond was very clear that he wasn’t omnipotent. In this world, there were too many things that he wasn’t clear about!

And the person who controlled those things would definitely be able to see that he wasn’t joking!

Since Raymond was unable to take the initiative to find them, then he could only use this method to filter them.

This kind of partner was able to greatly boost the progress of the spaceship project. Raymond wouldn’t give up!

Just as everyone was discussing, almost everyone was talking about Raymond’s arrogance and the selfishness of the research institute…

Suddenly, a clear and melodious voice came from the crowd!

“Raymond, I want to invest 50 billion in you!”

What?

Everyone was stunned!

Did that voice just say 50 billion?

That wasn’t 500 thousand, nor was it 5 million, but 50 billion!

Was this person joking, or was he crazy?

Everyone’s eyes instantly focused on the direction where the voice came from.

A woman wearing a white long dress, elegant temperament, exquisite face, and long hair that fell over her shoulders, revealing a fair and slender arm, appeared in front of everyone!

“Who is this?”

At this moment, this question appeared in everyone’s mind.

Even included Raymond’s secretary, Sherry, and General Eric!

The moment he heard the voice, Raymond smiled.

He knew that his idea had succeeded. His attitude and control had finally attracted the attention of those who had truly grasped the world’s top techniques!

The tall and flirtatious beauty with a faint smile on her face slowly walked forward.

She stared straight into Raymond’s eyes, the corners of her mouth curved slightly as she said softly, “I only have one question.”

“Raymond, can you really create an interstellar spaceship within a year?”

Raymond smiled, similarly looking straight into the lady’s eyes.

After that, he nodded lightly.

“Yes!”

“Alright then, this is 50 billion, please check it.”

The woman in the white dress handed over a small square box. Raymond took it and opened it to take a look.

Inside was a hard drive the size of a palm.

Raymond had heard of this kind of hard drive.

This was the secret key to the Swiss bank!

Other than the person who owned the hard drive, no one else could withdraw this money from the Swiss bank!

Moreover, the amount of information stored on the hard drive was extremely large!

It could be said that without a corresponding method of operation, no one could withdraw the money from the Swiss bank!

Raymond closed the box and smiled slightly.

“May I ask what your name is?”

“Mavis!”

The woman in the white dress said with a soft laugh. Then, she walked forward and whispered a few numbers into Raymond’s ear.

After Raymond noted it down, Mavis smiled again.

Then, she turned around and left.

Sherry walked up from the side and looked at Mavis’ back with a frown.

“General, she didn’t register. We don’t know how she got in either. Her identity information is blank.”

Raymond shook his head and said, “There’s no need to check. I know who she is.”
