Chapter 209 The Magical Flower
Bill Johnson looked at the rich Chinese man wearing glasses with some embarrassment, feeling uneasy.

Recently, he has had a lot of bad luck. He took an order to transport people to the upper reaches of the river during the rainy season. As a result, the boat capsized halfway, and several people died along the way. Even his deputy fell into the belly of the boa constrictor. .

Heavy losses are not enough to describe his current state, and even the word bankruptcy is a bit underqualified.

Bill Johnson is in great need of money now, a very, very large amount of money. First of all, he needs to buy a new boat and give his deputy's family a pension.

But now he can't even scrape together five dollars, and he is so poor that he can't even afford dirt.

Fortunately, he has a priceless secret in his hands, that is the blood orchid.

In the last expedition, half of the team died, and finally picked a few blooming flowers in the place where blood orchids were breeding, secretly hid them, and planned to sell them to a company with a high price.

At this time, a Corvinus biological group approached him and airlifted him, including his people and goods, directly to Europe and sent them to Qin Rongshuai's office.

When Qin Rongshuai was searching the list of scientists before, he accidentally found the name of Byron Mitch Biotechnology Company, which belongs to Weihe Venture Capital, so he sent someone to inquire.

According to intelligence, this company will soon send a scientific research expedition to the Borneo region.

Qin Rongshuai sent people to follow closely behind, and when the expedition team that was almost wiped out came back, they cut them off.

Bill Johnson swallowed nervously, and said, "Sir, this thing is a very magical plant. The locals call it the Immortal Flower. It blooms once every seven years, and the flowering period is only six months. Eat it In the future, you can live forever..."

Qin Rongshuai looked carefully at the blood orchid in a vacuum glass container, and interrupted Bill with a finger, "I know what it is, you don't have to explain it to me."

Bill closed his mouth awkwardly, and looked at Qin Rongshuai expectantly, thinking about how to bargain for a while.

Ger Steen and Sam Rogers looked at each other anxiously when Bill didn't speak, and Sam said first, "Sir, this thing is worth more than you think, it can be Prolonging the lifespan of cells, breaking through the Hayflick limit, its value is very, very high..."

Qin Rongshuai slowly put down the blood orchid, and looked at the two female scientists with some contempt, "So, you want to sell it for a good price, right?"

"Uh, we hope to continue researching the Immortal Flower." Geer Steen interjected, "I have been researching it for several years and have accumulated a lot of experience and information. I hope to have an individual in your company Project team, let us continue to study its value..."

"In other words, I not only have to pay a sum of money to buy it, but also hire you to continue researching it, so that you can publish papers, win Nobel Prizes, and gain both fame and fortune." Qin Rongshuai glanced lightly They glanced, "Do you think I understand right?"

"Uh... Actually... you can also say that." Sam Rogers was a little embarrassed when faced with Qin Rongshuai's straightforward words. The remaining shame made her unable to speak fluently. After a while, she added, " This is actually a win-win situation, after all, the blood orchid is ours.”

"It was picked by you." Qin Rongshuai corrected, "This thing is not yours, it belongs to Borneo."

"We discovered it!" Sam Rogers said hastily.

"Blood orchids have been growing locally for thousands of years, and the natives have discovered its existence long ago. You broke in and stole it and claimed you discovered it yourself." Qin Rongshuai sneered, "I have never seen such a brazen orchid. People, forget it, you don’t understand anyway, I will offer 500 million US dollars to buy all these blood orchids.”

"In addition, Bill Johnson, you stay here and plan to take my people back to Borneo to find where the blood orchid grows."

"The breeding ground of a rare plant that has grown for thousands of years has been destroyed casually by you. You are really a group of short-sighted, greedy and shameless idiots that are rare in the world."

Qin Rongshuai glanced at the people in front of him with disgust. These people still had incomprehensible and innocent expressions on their faces. They felt that it was not their fault that the blood orchid breeding ground was destroyed.

These so-called Western adventurers, in name, are exploring and hunting for treasure, but in fact they are a group of greedy and shameless robbers, with dirty and sinful genes flowing in their blood.

Going to a place is euphemistically called an exploration discovery, and then grandiosely stealing and robbing the wealth and resources of the local people, it seems that the local people are not human at all.

Chiguoguo's declaration of possession, disregarding the fact that these things originally belonged to the local people, based on the principle that they discovered that they were theirs, unscrupulously invaded other people's property.

And they don't cherish the things they find at all, destroying the ruins and treasures at will.

It was a precious plant that had grown for thousands of years, but they destroyed it in a few minutes.

He picked up a few blood orchids like a waste of money, without taking the roots of the plants.

Don't say that they are forced to choose helplessly, because they are actually the same kind of people as those who persecuted them. They entered Borneo to snatch blood orchids.

After sending the two women away, Qin Rongshuai glanced at Bill Johnson and asked seriously, "How many years have you lived in the tropical rainforest?"

"Uh, it's been seven or eight years." Bill said nervously.

"Very good, after taking my people to the destination in Borneo, come back quickly." Qin Rongshuai took out a worn sheepskin diary and patted it casually, "My African expedition team needs a consultant, yours The tropical rainforest experience is just right for us.”

Bill was hesitant at first, but when he saw a thick stack of dollar bills on the table, he immediately nodded in agreement.

Qin Rongshuai immediately sent the blood orchid he got to the scientific research center, and handed it over to the scientists of the plant group for genome deciphering and artificial breeding. He also handed over to the scientific research center the information about the blood orchid bought from Weihe Venture Capital. It cost tens of millions of dollars.

Alexander was a little surprised looking at these flowers, and didn't understand why Qin Rongshuai spent a lot of money on this thing.

Qin Rongshuai stood quietly outside the laboratory, watching through the glass the researchers inside refining the blood orchid and analyzing its components.

"Mr. Alexander, this thing may be useless to you and the Corvinus family, because you have special genes that can make you immortal." Qin Rongshuai said lightly, "But other humans are not so lucky , their evolution needs to be assisted by other means.”

Alexander looked at Qin Rongshuai suspiciously, and looked him up and down, "This thing... are you going to use it for yourself?"

"No." Qin Rongshuai smiled slightly, "I don't need this thing, but my people will."

Alexander was a little puzzled. Aren't Qin Rongshuai's subordinates all robots?
Why do you need this thing?
But Alexander didn't ask, but changed the subject, "When are you going to Africa?"

"immediately."
