The God Virus

Chapter 174: Ai Virus 001: The Savior

Hearing the question, a stunned expression sat on the CEO ugly’s face as his eyes became wide-opened.

Then, after a few seconds of staring like that into the President’s eyes, abruptly, he cracked up, "Hahahahahaha..." The laugh continued for what seemed like a long time, when finally, the CEO ugly stopped laughing as his face turned very deep and serious as he uttered, "Mr. President, please don’t joke like that anymore... of course we won’t be handing you our precious technology!"

Listening to the CEO ugly’s response, the President couldn’t stop himself from frowning as he opened his mouth once again, "But this isn’t just about you and your company anymore! This is about saving humanity... don’t you think it’s too selfish of you to try to gain profit out of this? Don’t you think it’s unethical and selfish to try keeping everything only for yourself?"

’Greedy bastard...’ The CEO ugly’s face also began to frown after hearing the President’s words which was indirectly asking for the technology of making the ’cure of HIV’ to be handed to them while he made it sound so just, so, after a short thought, the CEO ugly replied, "Mr. President, this has nothing to do with profit! This has to do with the survival of our company! Because that technology was made by thousands of other small advanced parts, each of which are created by decades of a variety of research, inventions, and efforts contributed by everyone in our company which cost us an astronomical amount of money, time, and effort! And now... you ask us to just hand over the result of decades of our sweats, efforts, and investments just like that? Why don’t you directly ask us to destroy ourselves instead?" After a short pause, he continued, "Anyway, pardon me for saying this, but my response to your question is still the same, absolutely no!"

"I’m not asking you to just hand it over... because the country will appreciate and buy it at a very generous price... how about it?" The President offered.

"It doesn’t matter because that’s the same... what you’re asking here is for us to simply sell the future of our company to you! I mean think about it... if you have the technology... then it would be like our starting point would be the same... and that in return would mean that the country would also advance in its technology in the same speed we’re advancing... which would result in our destruction in the long run... I mean, we couldn’t possibly compete with the whole country and the rest of the world, now could we?" The CEO elaborated.

Then, he added further, "However, don’t worry... since we are businessmen... even though we won’t be giving you the goose that lays the golden eggs... we would be offering you the golden eggs willingly with the appropriate minimum price after our requirements are met... which would result in a win-win situation for both us and humanity... and so, humanity would be saved and our secrets would be kept hidden for ourselves... and just like that... everyone would be happy." The CEO ugly concluded with a smile.

"Sigh... okay, what’s your price then?" The President inquired with a defeated expression since he knew persisting any longer would have the opposite effect.

"I’m sorry Mr. President... but before that... I think you’re forgetting something..." The CEO ugly proclaimed.

"Hmm... what do you mean?" Confused, the President asked.

"Before we get to the negotiation and exchange part, first you need to fulfill our one and only requirement. We would only negotiate and trade with a country that has a cooperation contract with us... and if I remember clearly we have already sent you our contract for cooperation some days ago and we’ve still yet to receive any replies in return, remember?" The CEO ugly inquired.

"What! You’re talking about that crazy contract? You think the country would sign a contract like that which gives your company the right and the authority to do whatever you want... like even controlling the freaking army?" Clearly very angry, the President queried while he also thought, ’Damn it, I thought they would forget about that nonsensical contract.’ {A/N: You can check chapter 110&111(The Contract) again.}

"I’m sorry, Mr. President, but that contract is a must if you want to have any kind of cooperation with us in regard to anything our company has to offer and that includes the cure... and in case you have no intentions of signing that kind of contract with us, just say it, so we could stop this pointless meeting which can be considered a complete waste of our time... and let me tell you, Mr. President, I have no time to waste at this moment since I still have to negotiate with other countries that want to have a cooperation with us ..." The CEO ugly voiced with a dissatisfied tone.

Listening to his words, a sharp glint passed through the President’s eyes as he thought, ’Damn it... so you’re basically telling me if the country wants to save its people... it has to sign that contract no matter what, huh...’

After that, looking into the CEO ugly’s eyes, the President asked a very important question, "You intend to force every country into signing this kind of cooperation contract if they want to save their people?"

"Haha... we’re not forcing anyone, we just offer... it’s totally up to those countries to decide if they want to have a cooperation with us or not and that’s the same for the United States... also my answer to your question is no. We’re not going to offer the other countries the same ’cooperation contract’ we’re offering the United States..." The CEO ugly stated with a chuckle.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean America is in luck, Mr. President... since only you and your country has the opportunity to have this kind of technology exchange cooperation with our company... the cooperation contracts we’re going to have with other countries are going to be exclusively for the purpose of selling them the cure of HIV."

"Can’t the United States also sign an exclusive contract like the other countries which only includes the cure trade?" Even though he knew the answer to that question, he thought there was no harm in asking.

"Haha... no. For the United States, ’Ai Virus 001: The Savior’ comes together with the technology exchange which requires that particular contract to be signed." Amused with the President’s vain attempts, the CEO ugly replied.

"What’s ’Ai Virus 001: The Savior’?" Even though he could guess, the President decided to ask.

"It’s the name of the ’cure of HIV’." With a chuckle, the CEO ugly responded.

"Why was it named ’Ai Virus 001: The Savior’?" The President inquired further even though he could guess the possible reasons behind some of the words in the name.

"Haha... actually, it’s very simple... ’The Savior’ part is self-explanatory since the cure is truly saving the world... and with regards to the ’Ai Virus’ part... Ai means love in Japanese... and Virus is the name of our company... so basically, the name connotes the love our company feels toward the whole world... or in another words, the cure itself is the affection our company is showing toward the world and its people."

’Yeah... love my ass!’ The president thought with a dissatisfied expression.
