Chapter 67: People die for wealth

  "The bird that is fed will fly away..." I can understand where Sun Wen's thoughts come from, having lived in a welfare institution with scarce resources since childhood, and striving to study hard to make ends meet, naturally understanding the importance of money to a person.

  Money is something that when you have it, you can regard it as worthless, but when you don't have it, every step is difficult to take, and even food and books are hard to come by.

  Sun Yat-sen must have experienced such hardships and bitterness.

  "It can't be evaluated like that, you don't know what price the company offered us, it's an astronomical figure, and it's not a one-time payment, we'll also get a share of the profits later on, not to mention them, I'm tempted too, who would complain about having too much money?" Ji Luan said with a smile.

  Ji Luan is always so kind, in fact he never wants to hurt others behind their backs, even though he has already fallen out with Sun Wen, now he is still trying to find a way for him to save face.

  "I said with a cold face, 'However, gentlemen love money, and there is a way to get it.'"

  She stretched out a hand and stroked my thigh, saying with a smile, "Like-minded people can go far together. I liked you back then because although you were young, your thoughts completely matched mine."

  You should know that this patent was sold to them, although we definitely made a fortune from it. But think about it again, foreigners bought our technology, no matter how high the price is, once they put it into production and turn it into products, then sell it back to us, how much more will be added to the price? How much loss will this cause to our country and people?

  "If it were a domestic company or government that wanted to buy, I guarantee you, no questions asked, I'd sell immediately. If they can offer this much money, I'll just count the cash with you. But domestic companies don't have these conditions, it's impossible for them to match this price. What I mean is, even if the price is low, we should prioritize selling to domestic companies. We can't sacrifice the interests of our compatriots for short-term gains, right?"

  I roughly understand what Jilan means, Professor Qian and Sun Wen want to make more money, no matter who they sell it to, while Jilan doesn't care too much about how much money he can make now, his meaning is that he considers himself doing a good deed.

  That's where the difference lies, actually, it's all about money.

  When I heard him say this, I loved him even more, this is a true gentleman.

  He often jokes with me, saying he wants to earn a lot of money to buy me all sorts of top-notch clothes and jewelry, dressing me up like a super-rich woman. However, his actions are still very principled. Sun Wen can't compare to him in this regard. Although Sun Wen appears to be very steady, deep down he often has a get-rich-quick mentality. He really loves money, I can tell that much. Of course, he also earned it through his own abilities, which is undeniable. But he doesn't have Ji Luan's attitude of being indifferent to wealth.

  "Ji Luan, you said, could it be... that Qian Laoshi and Sun Wen think of you as a stumbling block to their fortune, so..." I was somewhat afraid to say it out loud, but this has already become quite obvious.

  "It's hard to say for now, can't make a conclusion yet. We need to find evidence first."

  "Now that Sun Wen knows your identity, what will he do?"

  "I won't."

  "He didn't dare. Their experiment, now almost stopped, many theories were completely wrong, and they had been utilized, now wanting to change, then again from the beginning for several years, not necessarily finding the right way. But I have already helped them solve several - that classmate, helping me pass on the envelope, Sun Wen must know it's my handwriting. He is actually very clever."
