Chapter 944: 40 Million Yuan Isnt Enough
Professor Xu smiled and crossed his arms. Thats right. So, what do you think, Mr. Ji?
I think we can cooperate. Ji Shiting smirked. You lack funds, and I happen to have some.
Im not surprised at all Professor Xu clicked his tongue. But I have to suspect that youre just trying to get out of here by suggesting a cooperation.
Professor Xu, you said Gu Yimo was your student, right? Ji Shiting looked at him.
Thats right. Hes very smart. Ive taken care of him for several years. I was all alone, and I left him all the useless information after I faked my death.
Then, you might not know that Gu Yimo established a research institute after returning to China. Ji Shiting smiled. Like you, he likes to do some unorthodox research, but its difficult to market it, so he couldnt find sponsors and investments until he met me. Ive been sponsoring him for the past six years, and the amount is increasing every year. Even during the years I was missing, Shengge didnt cancel the funding. Last year, the funds from my personal account to Gu Yimos research institute were forty million. This is only a years funding, and I didnt ask him for specific requirements. I decided the research content and direction based on his likes.
It was powerful evidence. Professor Xus eyes widened.
You can verify it yourself. Ji Shiting smiled. I can provide evidence if you trust me.
40 million isnt enough for me. He smiled.
Of course, your research is far more important than Gu Yimos small-scale study. We can talk about the specific amount of funding. Double or triple is just a matter of a word. Ji Shiting crossed his legs and said. Professor Xu, you can understand if you think about it a bit. You insisted on operating on me. Its fine if it succeeds, but if it fails, youll have nothing. With your current success rate, which choice do you think is more risky?
Professor Xu was silent for a while before saying, Mr. Ji, youre very eloquent. I was almost tempted.
Almost.
Ji Shiting frowned.
Youre right. Considering the risks, its more likely for me to get money by cooperating with you. Unfortunately, you didnt mention the risk of these two choices. He smiled maliciously. If you lied to me after I chose to cooperate with you and breach the agreement after leaving here, then this research institute will most likely shut down. However, if I operate on you and your operation fails, Ill at most maintain the current situation, but there wont be any risk. Ill still pay for this.
He then enjoyed Ji Shitings expression. He thought Ji Shiting would be irritated, but he saw the man opposite him smile.
Youre right. Im very relieved that you can think of that. I also like cooperators who are cautious enough. Ji Shiting tapped his index finger. Then, how about this? Ill give you a large sum of money first, and to prove my sincerity and to gain your trust, you can decide on the amount. How about that?
Mr. Ji, Im afraid you dont have the right to mobilize a large sum of money now, do you? Professor Xu was skeptical.
Thats right, but Shengge can.
