Chapter 375: Self driving cars

Perhaps if he looked back, Minister Su would see Chi Lian crumble in her chair like a broken cookie. If he had closely looked, he would have seen the little bit of sweat on her neck. This had been an intense few minutes but it felt as if she had been in an interrogation room for hours.

"See, I told you that everything would be fine." T4 said smugly.

"No you didn’t." she retorted. He had advocated for minister Su’s murder, why was he proudly making contrary statements. A fox was a fox indeed.

She went to the private bathroom in her office and washed her face, wiped her neck and reapplied a little bit of make-up. Confident with her appearance, she returned to her desk.

Her espresso was cold and the taste was different from what she preferred so she called Shu Li and asked her to take it out. While Shu Li was leaving, bear squeezed herself through the door and invaded Chi Lian’s office.

"Boss, the state minister for security was here, this is big news. Was he here as a guest to discuss the state of security in the empire? This will be big for our ratings if we can manage to get him on air discussing the way forward in monitoring aristocratic families. It’s the biggest debate in the empire right now however all politicians have refused to go on air and say something about it."

She was speaking with so much excitement in her voice and on her face. It was too bad that Chi Lian was about to disappoint her.

"No, he was here to discuss a personal issue."

Bear was even more interested and she pushed her face forward, "Boss if it’s related to the business you can tell me. Even if it’s a secret, you can trust me with me it."

"He was asking about the construction of my lab. I guess with the monitoring of aristocratic family debate he wanted to make sure that I was not buying buildings in the cold town for shady purposes."

Bear folded her arms and contemplated on Chi Lian’s words. Then she said, "I guess the heat to monitor all wealth avenues of aristocrats has spread wide. Many of them are going to sell off their less than stellar businesses as soon as possible. Everyone has grown paranoid, lately all the second rich generation heirs who used to party like crazy are being closely guarded and locked up in their homes."

It was true that to avoid trouble, the clever aristocratic families were keeping their disobedient children indoors. But rich heirs who wanted to party could do so in other places where most of the public’s eyes could not reach.

"Has anyone checked Sinner though? I have had that there are levels in that place and the security is top notch. The higher one’s level is, the more incarnate their pleasures are and in sinner, if you can afford it, you will get it." She told bear.

"That sounds like the a devil’s abode." Bear answered.

Chi Lian tapped her desk twice and said, "You could not have described it better my dear. Sinner is the devil’s den, I want us to do an expose on the place but it is locked up tighter than the cold prison."

Bear opened her mouth to say something and the phone on Chi Lian’s desk rung. She picked up and said, "Let them in."

"I will leave now, we will pick up the conversation about sinner another day. Also send me the budget for the lab, as your manager I need to know how much is being spent and where it’s going. I am in the processing of reshuffling the entire accounting department. I want to use an entire floor in the building for this purpose. Tell your assistant to check her email for heaven sake! "

"An entire floor!" Chi Lian was in shock. "Is the accounting department going to operate like a bank?"

"That’s the plan." Bear replied.

She left the office as Chi Lian watched her back fading away with shock on her face. Changes were coming to the Phoenix family in ways unexpected.

Chi Lian looked at her watch, there was just one hour left to lunch and she could go for another important side mission that T4 said was optional.

Into her office her next set of guests arrived led by her one and only handsome Muyang, the man of her dreams whose very presence made her forget the purpose of this meeting.

"Drool later, money now." T4 reminded her.

"Right." She thought to herself.

She got up from her chair behind her desk and stepped forward as Wenli showed the guests to their seats and refreshments were quickly brought in.

She and Muyang were trading secret looks and small smiles while trying to be as professional as possible.

Muyang introduced her to all of the gentlemen, "This is Mr. Anthony Beltran representing an American company; this is Sheik Abdul from the kingdom of Qatar representing their second prince and this is Mr. Su Hongchuan. We successfully proved the concept of the self-driving car technology and they are all interested in purchasing it."

He then turned to the gentlemen and introduced Chi Lian as the owner of the self-driving car technology and software.

The American was too eager and he immediately said, "Miss Chi, we are offering the sum of one hundred million dollars for exclusive ownership of the technology."

"Exclusive, why are you greedy? Didn’t we agree to share it?" Su Hongchuan exploded angrily.

"If we are offering individual prices, the prince had offered fifty billion Yuan. Our prince does not lack money, we can offer up to one hundred billion." Sheik Abdul said confidently.

The three men, not wanting to be outdone by the other threw out prices as if she was auctioning the software off.

"Miss Chi, patriotism is very important, if they take the software we will lag behind as an empire technology wise, they will use the technology to destroy us. You are not allowed to commit such a crime."

She did not like the way he was framing things so she said, "Mr. Su, I am selling self-driving car technology not nuclear arms."

Muyang also glared at him and he bowed his head, "Sorry, I got carried away." Mr. Su apologized.

"Gentlemen, I appreciate the enthusiasm but I agreed to meet you because I was informed that you had all reached a consensus before coming here. My terms remain the same, you purchase the software and I get paid a small royalty fee from each car you sell for the next ten years.

Self-driving cars are going to take over the world and if you want to make money you need to be the first in the race. Mr. Muyang has chosen one company from each country; you will not be the only ones that we make this offer to so if you are not ready to work with us then you can report back to your bosses and discuss matters again. Please understand however that we will not wait for long, we will be contacting other parties."
