Free Web NovelChapter 930: Chapter 302: The Research Institute’s Tough Stance (Part 2)
The reporter interviewed many staff at the Research Institute, even posing some tricky questions.
But the research personnel answered them all, leaving no gaps.
Facing some foreign skepticism, the Research Institute personally tested countless Martial Artists.
The result was a 100% success rate in detoxification, not a single failure.
Moreover, the strength of the Martial Artists increased to varying degrees after detoxification.
Finally, the Divine Land Research Institute solemnly announced that Frost Vine Armor would be re-equipped in the Seven Armies of the Warring States.
Later, some foreign media asked questions regarding previous order cancellations.
This time, the Divine Land Research Institute’s response was resolute:
Due to the impact of the return incident, the financial loss to the Divine Land was so great that it’s hard to describe. Divine Land has not delayed a single cent of the refund, and in accordance with international trade laws and regulations, compensated all with damages.
In the future, the price of Frost Vine Armor will increase threefold.
As for the specific pricing of the Detoxification Pill, it has not been determined yet, but it might be even more expensive, considering the scarcity of raw materials.
...
"Good increase, a bunch of those kicking us when we’re down!"
A diner slammed the table hard and said loudly.
At the barbecue stand, there wasn’t much formality; it was a place buzzing with people, commonly for chit-chat, and no one thought he was noisy.
"Exactly, good increase!"
Others at different tables even chimed in agreement.
When Frost Vine Armor was returned, Divine Land paid an uncountable amount of money overnight.
The crux was that many countries were leading the narrative online, ridiculing and mocking Divine Land, endlessly!
Now is finally the time to raise eyebrows and exhale.
"That’s right, good increase, there should be scarcity sales!"
Meng Yang stared at the TV, his face flushed, unsure whether it was due to drinking or sheer anger.
"Rest assured, strong countries are best at diplomacy, our Divine Land won’t lose out!"
Bai Hui Sect patted Meng Yang’s shoulder.
"Right, weak countries have no diplomacy, but our Divine Land is a strong country, always assertive in such matters!"
Zhao Qian’en nodded in agreement.
He wanted to get drunk, but with his constitution, it was not so easy to get drunk.
But ultimately, alcohol could numb some nerves, and Zhao Qian’en felt much better inside.
Even though they had agreed earlier not to talk politics, the news still made them discuss sentence by sentence.
Su Yue also cheered for Divine Land in his heart.
...
"Even though Divine Land controls the patents for Frost Vine Armor and the Detoxification Pill, isn’t that somewhat heartless.
"We’ve researched, the forging of Frost Vine Armor hasn’t added any extra materials, yet Divine Land directly raises the price threefold, which does not align with international morality or the magnanimity of a great nation.
"We hope the Divine Land Research Institute could consider the lives of Martial Artists from other countries. The world’s nations are a collective, advancing together, inseparable!"
At this moment, in the conference hall, a tall blonde reporter stood up.
She wore gold-rimmed glasses, sharp and capable, her face serious, fitting common perceptions of a reporter.
Under her lead, a brief disturbance arose at the press conference.
Indeed, with the same materials and the same patents, Divine Land directly raising the price of Frost Vine Armor threefold was simply unbearable.
Other countries had already taken orders, planning to re-purchase from Divine Land.
They prepared to face Divine Land’s wrath but didn’t expect the Divine Land Research Institute to be so excessive.
"Could Divine Land Research Institute answer the questions from the reporters of various countries?"
The blonde reporter faced no fear, like a hero of Lie Dian Country.
"Regarding the price increase, it’s actually quite simple, as the pricing power of Frost Vine Armor lies with Divine Land, and so does the patent, that’s all.
"As for saying Divine Land is heartless, doesn’t conform to international morality, lacks great nation’s magnanimity, this is purely inciting international relations among countries.
"When Divine Land needs understanding from other countries, they demand compensation according to contract terms, Divine Land also follows the spirit of agreement, compensating entirely according to contract.
"But now Divine Land is re-pricing, renegotiating contracts, and you start talking about human feelings, international morality, great nation’s magnanimity, which is rather absurd.
"Divine Land never accepts moral coercion.
"Also, as the spokesperson for the Research Institute, although my emotional management skills are quite good, it doesn’t mean I won’t get angry.
"If you keep pestering about this issue, I don’t mind creating a Frost Vine Armor trade blacklist."
The spokesperson for the Research Institute calmly smiled.
Uncountable flashlights shone on his face, the spokesperson exuded unspoken confidence and composure:
"Today’s press conference was merely an announcement of Frost Vine Armor’s research results, as for its final pricing, it might be even higher, which requires discussion in meetings."
Subsequently, the spokesperson added another point.
Besides reporters, many foreign trade department high officials actually attended the conference, intending to understand the pricing from Divine Land.
Frost Vine Armor is truly important.
But clearly, Divine Land seemed really angry this time, not easy to deal with.
The flashlights continued.
As a professional, the spokesperson began explaining the benefits of Frost Vine Armor, leaving Su Yue stunned.
His dad gave the Detoxification Pill to the Research Institute, reportedly exchanged for a chance at release.
Sigh, everyone takes what they need.
Su Yue shook his head; for his dad, being able to return to Earth once was more important than any amount of money.
...
"Hmph, a bunch of fools kicking us when we’re down, still wanting to morally coerce, shameless!"
"Exactly, when I need understanding and consideration, you talk business. Now when I want to talk business, you’re blabbing about feelings, truly shameless."
