Abyss Sequence-Chapter 479 - 54: Negotiation

Neither Yan Luo nor Yulia knew how to create a device, and Sasa was merely a student of Abyssal Ecology.

Therefore, to produce a machine capable of influencing the human Magnetic Field, they had to seek help from others.

As Yan Luo's official girlfriend, Wang Lingyu naturally had the right to be informed about this. Upon learning of Yan Luo's need, she told him that her uncle was an engineer who worked at the Wanwei Medical Company in Lingquan City.

Min Jinglan's ability to become a city committee member was not only due to connections from Wang Lingyu's father's side but also because her own family had some connections.

Min Jinglan's father was, during his lifetime, an academician of the Academy of Engineering, though he had passed away several years before Min Jinglan was elected to the city committee.

As the child of an academician, Min Jinglan earned two doctorate degrees, both obtained on her own. However, she chose not to follow in her brother's footsteps to become an engineer, opting instead for a career in politics.

Wanwei Medical barely ranked first in the medical device field within Lingquan City. Wang Lingyu's uncle was the head of the research department at that company, wielding some influence in launching new research projects. As long as Yan Luo was willing to invest money, Wanwei Medical could help him research that machine.

Since Wang Lingyu had connections, Yan Luo decided not to seek collaboration with other medical device companies, since most leading companies on Blue Star held similar technological standards now that the ceiling of technological advancement was effectively capped.

Wanwei Medical had substantial capabilities and might be able to assist Yan Luo in developing such a machine.

Thus, Yan Luo arrived at the entrance of the Wanwei Medical Company Building in Lingquan City.

Jin Miaomiao followed behind him, as she would be essential in drafting the contract with Wanwei Medical if negotiations went well.

Jin Miaomiao, who had just graduated a year ago, had never been involved in a contract of such magnitude before. She followed Yan Luo closely, involuntarily swallowing nervously.

As they took the elevator to the meeting room, Jin Miaomiao couldn't help but ask Yan Luo, "Boss, do you really...intend to invest regardless of the cost?"

Standing in the spacious elevator car, Yan Luo's head nearly touched the ceiling, exuding an aura of unwavering determination.

In Jin Miaomiao's eyes, Yan Luo's assertive demeanor would aid in the upcoming negotiations. She wanted to persuade Yan Luo to at least set a limit.

Despite knowing that Yan Luo was quite wealthy, she thought even wealth should not be squandered!

"Of course."

Yan Luo nodded and said, "This concerns the new extraordinary power system I'm developing. If Wanwei Medical can create a machine fulfilling 80% of my envisioned functions, everyone on Blue Star would have the chance to possess extraordinary powers. And you know, Evil God is related to Magic Power, but the new extraordinary power system I'm developing doesn't require Magic Power. Properly handled, perhaps Blue Star will never give birth to an Evil God."

This was the information Yan Luo had publicly announced, and Jin Miaomiao was naturally aware of it.

Yan Luo was busy, and sometimes Jin Miaomiao needed to represent him in interviews with reporters, so she was, of course, familiar with these concepts.

Mention of Evil God involuntarily reminded Jin Miaomiao of the tragic situation in Alfheim.

A world where all Elves had to enter a dormant state due to the emergence of an Evil God, uncertain when they could awaken again, or whether they would still be themselves and not an Evil God upon awakening.

Jin Miaomiao couldn't help but shiver and made a silent vow to ensure this cooperation succeeded during subsequent negotiations for the sake of her boss.

She was also a human living on Blue Star, and if Blue Star gave birth to an Evil God, there would be no escape for her.

Her boss was strong and might escape, but she might not.

The elevator doors opened, guiding Yan Luo and Jin Miaomiao towards the meeting room.

The meeting room at the Wanwei Medical Company Building was a well-lit place filled with ample lighting. It not only had a large floor-to-ceiling window offering views of the street scene outside but also multiple potted plants and a bookshelf filled with books against the wall.

The business manager responsible for negotiations with Yan Luo had already arrived, accompanied by an engineer responsible for technical evaluation.

When Yan Luo and Jin Miaomiao entered the meeting room, the business manager stood up with a smile, extending both hands in advance towards Yan Luo.

"Hello, Mr. Yan. I'm Mei Yan, the business manager of Wanwei Medical. Nice to meet you."

Yan Luo shook hands with Mei Yan, saying, "Hello."

Then, he and Jin Miaomiao took their seats.

After they were seated, Mei Yan led the engineer, who had just hurriedly stood up, to take a seat.

Mei Yan personally poured a cup of tea for Yan Luo and Jin Miaomiao, catering to their preferences, and began discussing business matters directly.

"I'm curious to know, Mr. Yan, what kind of new machine do you intend to commission from our company?"

As an experienced business manager, Mei Yan was adept at discerning who her clients were and had mastered the skill of tailoring her approach based on their preferences, recognizing at a glance what type of person the client was.

If the client enjoyed discussing romantic and scenic topics, she'd seek more conversations in those areas. If the client enjoyed showcasing their knowledge, she'd accommodate them accordingly, trying to please them. If the client preferred to discuss business directly, it was even better, as she'd promptly get to the point.

Wanwei Medical's current market share owed much to Mei Yan, who, with the help of modern advanced beauty technology, appeared merely forty—a charming, mature woman—though she was already seventy years old.

Mei Yan was essentially a partner at Wanwei Medical and had not personally negotiated with clients for years, but Yan Luo's arrival compelled her to return to the field.

Observing Yan Luo's taciturn demeanor, Mei Yan could tell he didn't enjoy discussions unrelated to business. Casually, she adjusted her collar and fastened the cuffs on her sleeves.

Even Jin Miaomiao didn't notice Mei Yan's subtle gestures.

Yan Luo organized his thoughts and presented his requirements.

After listening, the engineer beside raised his eyebrows.

Mei Yan softly asked, "Xiao Li, what do you think?"

Xiao Li stammered, "Well... Mei Jie, it's not that we can't make it. The company's technical library has all the technology needed to build such a machine. It's just... very cumbersome. We've never constructed a similar machine, and adjusting it to make it suitable for ordinary people to use..."

Mei Yan interrupted Xiao Li, asking, "So it can be made?"

"...Yes," Xiao Li nodded.

Mei Yan rotated her slightly clouded eyes toward Yan Luo, smiling as she asked, "Mr. Yan, could you share with us what you intend to use this machine for?"

"To develop a new extraordinary power system," Yan Luo stated bluntly.

Mei Yan was momentarily stunned.

A moment later, she took a small sip of tea, using the tea's warmth to stimulate her tongue and regain her composure.

The world knew that Yan Luo's primary power now wasn't merely from his physical constitution but from the human Magnetic Field derived from it.

Electromagnetic force is one of the fundamental forces and a considerably formidable one; many parts of human society today can utilize magnetic power.

For this reason, Yan Luo's capability was indeed potent, allowing him to fly unaided long ago.

Mei Yan initially thought this was a unique power of a Saint but never imagined Yan Luo's ambition was so colossal, intending to develop a new extraordinary power system.

If Yan Luo could genuinely achieve it...

Mei Yan instinctively held her breath, envisioning a radiant and illustrious future.

Wanwei Medical barely ranked as an industry leader in medical devices within Lingquan City, but compared to genuinely large enterprises, they still had limitations.

If they could help Yan Luo develop a new extraordinary power system, not to mention anything else, just the patent fees would be enormously lucrative.

Mei Yan took a deep breath, setting down her teacup, adjusting her attire, and earnestly speaking to Yan Luo, "Mr. Yan, we would like to take on your commission."

Yan Luo nodded, "Name your price."

Having said that, he crossed his arms and leaned back against the sofa, while Jin Miaomiao straightened her posture, turning her head toward Mei Yan, indicating she was the one Mei Yan would be negotiating further with by sending her a contract template.

Glancing at the contract template, Mei Yan shook her head and sent Jin Miaomiao a new contract.

While cooperating with Yan Luo could bring them a fortune, that didn't mean they would make concessions on this commission.

After all, business is business, every penny counts!
