Chapter 153: Choices, Farewell to Gao Yahxin 2
Chapter 153: Choices, Farewell to Gao Yahxin 2
After reaching a verbal agreement, Li Qian politely declined Zhao Xiwei's dinner invitation and left the Jiangnan Province Public Security Bureau.
Watching Li Qian's departing figure, she turned back to her uncle's office, "Well, did you get what you wanted? Or did you not take advantage enough?"
"To be honest, I didn't want to take advantage of this situation," Zhao Yong sighed, also looking in the direction Li Qian had left.
"Oh, when did you change your mind?" Zhao Xiwei glanced at her uncle in surprise.
"In your eyes, am I the kind of person who always wants to take advantage?" Zhao Yong couldn't help but smile wryly.
Without pausing, he continued, "You know how tight our bureau's funds are. The director is high up and doesn't care about these things. If I don't worry, who else can I rely on?"
As he spoke, his words carried a hint of resentment, and it was clear who this resentment was directed at, "For a nurturing genius like Li Qian, I don't want to fish in troubled waters."
"Even if we reach an agreement with overly harsh conditions, it will still hurt our relationship and won't last long."
Hearing her uncle's words, Zhao Xiwei smiled, "I thought you wouldn't care about it?"
"Not care?" Zhao Yong said, "I'm not a fool. Breaking a partnership with a nurturing genius like Li Qian would definitely be a loss."
As Zhao Xiwei and Zhao Yong discussed, on the other side, Li Qian had already left the Jiangnan Province Public Security Bureau.
Looking at the bustling city outside, he curiously scanned his surroundings, then took out his phone and started browsing.
After a quick search, he found a chain hotel not too far from his location. It was 500 Federation Dollars per night, not cheap, but within his budget.
He hailed a ride and arrived at the hotel. After checking in, he went to his room, took a quick look around, and then stepped out again.
For dinner, he ate alone at a nearby restaurant. After finishing his meal, he returned to the hotel, put on his VR goggles, and resumed browsing the books he had obtained from the Mu family.
There were many books, and Li Qian estimated that it would take him two to three months to go through them all. The night passed uneventfully, and the next morning, Li Qian woke up early, had breakfast at the hotel restaurant, and after some thought, he finally dialed a number.
This number was not for his parents but for someone he hadn't contacted in a while—Gao Yahxin.
Previously, when researching the transformation from koi to green-scaled serpent, Gao Yahxin had provided him with a lot of help.
The last time they encountered an attack from Black God Sect cultists, it was her timely intervention that stopped the enemies, so Li Qian was quite grateful to her.
For this reason, this time, having arrived in Southern Capital by chance, he felt he should at least greet her, and perhaps even pay her a visit.
Li Qian planned to go see Gao Yahxin after signing the companion beast supply contract with the Jiangnan Province Public Security Bureau.
Without delay, Li Qian accepted the invitation and also wanted to see Gao Yahxin's breeding base, the companion beasts she had, and if there were any valuable research directions.
After making arrangements with Gao Yahxin, Li Qian didn't hesitate. He took a taxi and returned to the Jiangnan Province Public Security Bureau.
This time, Zhao Xiwei personally received Li Qian, and after some polite exchanges, she led him to an office.
Zhao Yong and a young, well-mannered-looking security officer were already seated, and they greeted each other before taking their seats.
After sitting down, the young officer immediately handed over two contracts, one for the strategic partnership agreement and the other for the companion beast supply agreement for the first two years.
Currently, only two types of companion beasts are involved, the Green Scaled Serpent and the Frostfire Salamander, which, according to the assessment, the Jiangnan Province Public Security Bureau has offered 55 million and 95 million respectively.
Of course, these are just the supply prices for the first two years. After two years, if the cooperation framework remains unchanged, the supply contract will be re-established based on the market price of companion beasts at that time.
Li Qian skimmed through the contracts and felt that there were no issues. Of course, he also knew that he was not an expert in this field.
So, he scanned the contracts with his phone and sent the content to An HouNian, An Fat's father.
Li Qian didn't understand these matters, but there was someone who did—An HouNian, who was most adept at handling such affairs.
After the contracts were sent, everyone at the Lingwater City Pride Breeding Base, including An HouNian and Li Qian's parents, carefully examined them.
Unlike the previous cooperation with the Lingwater City Public Security Bureau, this collaboration had much greater interests and impact.
It could be said that it was crucial for the future of the breeding base, and they couldn't afford to take it lightly. Even though Li Qian's parents didn't understand this field, they were well aware of its importance.
So, they all got busy, even though they might not understand much, they still wanted to contribute.
Everyone worked together, and they did find a few minor issues, but they were indeed minor. The Jiangnan Public Security Bureau didn't hesitate and promptly made the changes according to Li Qian's suggestions.
With the Jiangnan Public Security Bureau being so efficient, Li Qian didn't delay either. After the contract modifications, he signed his name directly on it.
"Student Li Qian, after the cooperation is reached, the names of the Green Scaled Serpent and Frostfire Salamander will appear on our Jiangnan Province Public Security Bureau's exchange list. To facilitate the comrades' choices, we need you to provide the initial information of these two companion beasts," Zhao Yong said with a smile, looking at Li Qian.
Li Qian also smiled and shook hands with him, "Of course." Then, without hesitation, he shared the initial information of the Green Scaled Serpent and Frostfire Salamander.
The so-called initial information refers to the information of a companion beast right after its evolution. This information was recorded by Qi Zai and Xiao Liu after their evolution.
"I don't know if there are still these two types of companion beasts in the base now?" The well-mannered young officer asked expectantly after the cooperation was reached.
Li Qian didn't think much and directly answered, "There are four Green Scaled Serpents and eight Frostfire Salamanders."
Originally, after Li Lan'ying purchased one Green Scaled Serpent and Mu Qianqian exchanged one Frostfire Salamander, there were only two and six left of each species.
However, before this trip, Li Qian had evolved a batch of Koi, obtaining three Green Scaled Serpents and two Frostfire Salamanders.
Among the three Green Scaled Serpents, one was Zhou Weiping's Dazhuang, and the remaining two belonged to the breeding base. Before Li Qian's departure, these Green Scaled Serpents and Frostfire Salamanders had not been traded, and their numbers remained relatively intact.
As for the Lingwater City Public Security Bureau, it was unclear whether they were influenced by Zhou Weiping, but they all chose to purchase Koi for breeding themselves.
This approach had its advantages, as the emotional foundation would undoubtedly be better than directly bonding with the Green Scaled Serpent.
Of course, this was secondary. The most crucial part was being able to enjoy the evolution feedback once more.
