Chapter 325 - 319: Pricing
Mountain Eagle was amused by Mori’s eagerness to find an opportunity for cooperation...
Then he realized that the people around Mori must be civil servants from the United States, who hold official powers, rather than politicians scrambling in the battle field of Congress.
The lost data and notebooks hit these people’s weak spot; once the situation escalated to the stage where high-level politicians had to clean up their mess, they would either be dismissed or have to pay a huge price to repay the favors.
Mori’s role as a consultant lies between a civil servant and a politician, touching both sides, but closeness depends on the identity of the person he serves.
This matter itself was unrelated to him; he could always switch to a non-stick role, so although his tone was grave, his attitude was actually very relaxed.
Facing this situation, Mountain Eagle knew that the willingness on the other side to trade must be very strong, as the consequences for the people sitting next to Mori would be extremely severe without discussing conflicts between countries.
However, naming a price was a technical matter, and Mountain Eagle was unclear about their identities, thus he couldn’t cut to their bottom line in pricing.
After thinking for a few seconds, Mountain Eagle said: "Handing over the notebook to you would put a lot of pressure on me.
What can you give me?"
Mori consulted the people in the meeting room and awkwardly said, "How does $500,000 sound to you?"
Faced with such a ’slap-in-the-face’ price, Mountain Eagle, displeased, said: "I give you $500,000, and you immediately head to the airport and fly to California for your appointment.
A matter of $500,000 is not worth you making a fool of yourself on the front line!"
