"What? Are you calling me stupid? Saying I'm ridiculous?"

Schmidt's expression was complex, containing anger, but the level of shock far outweighed his fury.

After all, as the global vice president of Kangxing Company, he was known for his wit. Being called stupid today was simply unacceptable!

Zhao Xiaobo was even more astonished and quickly rebuked Chen Xiao, "Chen Xiao, how can you speak to Mr. Schmidt like that? It's your blessing that Mr. Schmidt appreciates your medical skills. Don't be ungrateful!"

Chen Xiao sneered, "Zhao Xiaobo, your guts have grown, haven't they? You dare to gesticulate in front of me? Have you forgotten my identity?"

Zhao Xiaobo shuddered, but when he thought of Mr. Schmidt's presence, he was no longer afraid.

"Chen Xiao, I know you're involved with the underworld, but that kind of identity is ultimately unrespectable. Now that Mr. Schmidt appreciates you, you'll have a great opportunity to enter true high society and associate with high officials and magnates. That's a life I wouldn't even dare to dream of!"

Zhao Xiaobo's face was full of longing, with envy and jealousy in his eyes.

Obviously, he yearned for that kind of life, but with his own level, he was afraid he would never reach that level in his lifetime.

However, if he successfully promoted Chen Xiao this time, the head office would also treat him differently, and perhaps even promote him to a regional manager or something.

For him, it would also be a meteoric rise to success and bring honor to his ancestors.

The problem was that Chen Xiao seemed a little uncooperative!

Chen Xiao smiled dismissively, obviously sneering at Zhao Xiaobo's words, "I'd like to hear how 'high' this high society can be?"

Schmidt understood Chinese well, but he couldn't be considered fluent. For example, he couldn't hear the sarcasm in Chen Xiao's words.

He said triumphantly, "Mr. Chen, if your acupuncture technique is really that magical, Kangxing Company is willing to pay 200 million to buy out the technology."

Hearing the number 200 million, Zhao Xiaobo's eyes lit up. That was a number he could never hope to reach in his lifetime!

Schmidt then added, "200 million is in US dollars, not Chinese yuan, Mr. Chen. You could spend it lying down and still never finish spending such a large sum of money in your lifetime."

However, Chen Xiao almost laughed when he heard this. Kangxing Company was really good at wishful thinking. They wanted to buy out this acupuncture technique for 200 million US dollars? Were they trying to fool a beggar in the village?

Besides, Chen Xiao was now a billionaire with tens of billions in assets. Would he still care about such petty cash?

"Mr. Schmidt, you're really good at wishful thinking. If you spend 200 million US dollars to buy out my acupuncture technique, I suppose you can turn around and earn 200 billion, 2 trillion?"

Chen Xiao said with a sneer, his eyes full of contempt.

Schmidt smiled awkwardly. He had indeed underestimated Chen Xiao, thinking that Chen Xiao was just a poor young man who had never seen much money.

But he was not discouraged. Business was meant to be negotiated. Since his little trick didn't work, he would offer more sincere terms.

"Hehe, Mr. Chen, we also have risks. After all, no one can guarantee that your acupuncture technique will work for all cancer patients, and promoting it worldwide and opening up medical channels will also require a lot of money and network resources in the early stage."

"Of course, if you are not satisfied with the previous conditions, we can discuss it further. How about giving you two percent of the revenue generated by this technology? What do you think?"

This time, Chen Xiao burst out laughing, "Mr. Schmidt, are you trying to fool a beggar? Two percent? You can even say that!"

"Chen Xiao, two percent is already a lot. How much is too much?"

Zhao Xiaobo earnestly persuaded, "You have to think about how big Kangxing Company is. It is the second largest pharmaceutical company in the world..."

Chen Xiao didn't even look at Zhao Xiaobo and coldly asked Schmidt, "Mr. Schmidt, which of you is negotiating with me?"

Schmidt immediately roared, "Zhao, mind your tongue, or get out of here immediately!"

"Mr. Schmidt, I..."

"I said, shut up!"

Zhao Xiaobo obediently shut his mouth and glared at Chen Xiao hatefully, cursing in his heart, "Chen Xiao, ah Chen Xiao, you are really kicking away the ladder after crossing the river!"

Schmidt smiled sheepishly and said to Chen Xiao, "I'm sorry, Mr. Chen. Zhao is just a low-level figure in the company. He doesn't understand the rules. Please forgive him..."

"If you are still not satisfied with the previous conditions, then I will add another one. As long as you agree to transfer this technology to Kangxing Company, I will immediately appoint you as the regional manager of Kangxing Company and obtain 10% of the shares of Kangxing Company's China branch. Mr. Chen, what do you think?"

Schmidt offered his greatest sincerity. In fact, this was his last bottom line.

These were the most favorable conditions he could offer, and he also believed that as long as Chen Xiao was a normal person, he would definitely not reject this proposal.

Zhao Xiaobo's eyes in the back were almost popping out with jealousy.

Regional manager, 10% of the shares... Any one of them was enough to make him laugh in his dreams.

Now they were all given to Chen Xiao. How could he not be jealous?

However, to Zhao Xiaobo and Schmidt's surprise, Chen Xiao still shook his head in the face of such favorable conditions.

"I cannot accept this condition."

Schmidt's face showed a look of frustration, "Mr. Chen, you don't accept this, and you don't accept that. Otherwise, why don't you just propose the conditions and see if I can accept them?"

Chen Xiao said lightly, "Me propose conditions? Let's forget it..."

"Mr. Chen, what do you mean by this? Why don't I feel any sincerity in the conversation with you?"

Schmidt was full of confusion and incomprehension.

Chen Xiao smiled, "Because I never thought about cooperating with Kangxing Company at all. From beginning to end, you have been talking to yourself. I have not shown the slightest intention to cooperate with you."

"What's more, this cooperation is not valid, because even if I give you my acupuncture technique, with your qualifications, I'm afraid you won't be able to learn it!"

Hearing this, Schmidt was completely enraged and asked in a deep voice, "Mr. Chen, then what do you mean by this? I talked to you heart-to-heart for a long time just now, and you're making a fool of me?"

"Making a fool of you?"

Chen Xiao smiled slightly, his face full of戏谑, "This statement is quite interesting. If Mr. Schmidt thinks he is a monkey, then I can't do anything about it!"
