Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

Five minutes later, the two finished washing and returned to the bedroom.

Chi Feichi took out the medicine box from the luggage bag and picked out a white pill.

Yueshui Nanatsuki walked to the bedside and saw Chi Feichi's actions, and asked with concern, "Are you going to take sleeping pills to fall asleep tonight?"

"Thinking of those families hoarding a lot of gold, I am so jealous that I can't calm down. It's better to take medicine to fall asleep."

Chi Feichi explained, swallowed the pills, went back to bed and lay down. After Yueshui Nanatsuki lay down, he reached out and took Yueshui Nanatsuki into his arms and hugged her.

Yueshui Nanatsuki leaned into Chi Feichi's arms and whispered, "Thank you for your hard work, good night."

Chi Feichi closed his eyes.

His family Yueshui is very good.

Those guys with gold at home are hateful.

...

Seven thirty in the morning.

After the effect of the ‘Sleeping Curse’ ended, Chi Feichi also woke up. Seeing that Nanatsuki Yueshui was still sleeping, he got up quietly. After washing up, he took his mobile phone to the family living room, asked the housekeeper Bonar to arrange breakfast, and took the time to call Chi Shinnosuke.

There is a 12-hour time difference between New York time in the United States and Beijing time in China. When Chi Feichi called, the time on Chi Shinnosuke's side was close to eight o'clock in the evening, just enough time to communicate with Chi Feichi before going to bed.

Chi Feichi had already sent an email to Chi Shinnosuke last night to tell him about the banquet, so the father and son did not talk about the banquet last night.

Chi Shinnosuke talked about another thing as soon as he came - Suzuki Jirokichi went to China and arrived at the airport seven hours ago, wanting to help the Suzuki family rent a giant panda to take back.

Suzuki Jirokichi also knew that the Chi family was able to rent a giant panda, which must be more than just paying the rent. After meeting up with the Chi family couple, he asked the Chi family couple who received him about the conditions.

Considering the recent close relationship between the two families, Chi Shinnosuke also revealed the truth to Suzuki Jirokichi.

The key to the Chi family renting giant pandas is not how much rent they paid, nor how much they invested in China. The fundamental reason is that the Chi family provided a certain high-efficiency extraction technology of radioactive element isotopes.

"Even if the Suzuki family has the same level of technology, it is impossible to use it to rent pandas," Chi Feichi said, "Even if Mr. Jirokichi is willing, the Suzuki family will not agree."

"So, after confirming that I was right, Consultant Suzuki directly gave up the plan to rent giant pandas," Chi Shinnosuke said calmly, "When we had lunch at noon, he didn't pay attention to the matter of renting giant pandas. He seemed to be more worried about the mental state of our Chi family."

Chi Feichi: "..."

Chi Shinnosuke is not a person who likes to exaggerate when describing the situation. In other words, Suzuki Jirokichi really suspected that there was something wrong with the mental state of their Chi family at that time?

In fact, he is not incomprehensible.

In the science and technology and medical fields, there are many things that are much more valuable than gold.

For example, the medical isotope of actinium, actinium-225, is one of the best drugs currently used to treat cancer. Due to its low production, it can only be measured in ‘curies’, with an annual global production of less than 5 curies.

Although actinium-225 produces toxins when it decays, causing damage to human organs such as the kidneys, liver, and spleen, the medical value of actinium-225 itself is irreplaceable by other things. In addition to its scarcity, it has even been sold for a price of one million US dollars per millicurie in history.

Any force that has the technology to extract actinium-255 and can produce 1 curie per year can reap tens of billions of dollars in wealth every year.

According to him, the organization has mastered the actinium-255 extraction technology that is more efficient than most drug research institutes on the market, but compared with the extraction technology currently mastered by Umbrella, the organization's extraction technology is far from being ‘efficient’, and is far inferior to Umbrella in terms of safety and stability.

The high computing power of the Ark, combined with the brains of scientists, has brought Umbrella a leap in technological development. When other scientific institutions need to climb the stairs one level at a time, Umbrella can do it two or three levels at a time. It takes a little time to catch up with the predecessors, or even surpass them.

Of course, the efficient extraction technology that the Chi family gave in order to rent the giant panda is not the efficient extraction technology of actinium-225, but the efficient extraction technology of other element isotopes. The market value is lower than that of actinium-225, but the requirements for equipment are not high, and the safety level during extraction is higher, which can ensure a stable annual output.

With this efficient extraction technology, China may not need to import this element isotope from outside, which can save hundreds of millions of dollars in costs every year. If the production capacity continues to increase, it may be able to export a little.

What the Chi family gave is not "fish", but "fishing".

More importantly, after China has mastered this type of efficient extraction technology, it can produce it by itself, so there is no need to worry about international sellers running out of stock. It can also extract more of this type of element isotopes for research. With China's terrible manpower, as long as a few more research institutes are set up, it may really be able to research something new.

No wonder Suzuki Jirokichi suspected that there was something wrong with the mental state of the Chi family.

Any force that has mastered this technology will hold it tightly in its hands and use the extraction of element isotopes to sell and make a fortune. The Chi family actually gave away this technology that can continue to create wealth for themselves in the future just to rent a giant panda? Are you sure you are not crazy?

"Advisor Suzuki also quietly asked me if the Chi family had encountered any trouble," Chi Shinjiro said calmly, "I was worried that he might have wild thoughts, so I explained to him that when Umbrella sent this technology, scientists were already studying the second-generation extraction technology, and after receiving the technology, Zhonghua was willing to build a laboratory with Umbrella to study this element isotope. In addition, Umbrella also has other rare element isotope extraction technologies, and most of the extraction methods have higher extraction efficiency than the outside world. Since you like dumplings so much and want to be foolproof in renting dumplings, then I think it's okay to send a high-efficiency extraction technology..."

Chi Feichi: "..."

A person spending 10,000 yuan to buy a piece of bread is considered a waste of money in the eyes of many people, but if this person has tens of billions or hundreds of billions of assets, and the only son in the family who usually doesn't take the initiative to ask for anything really likes that piece of bread, then it is reasonable to spend 10,000 yuan to buy that piece of bread, right?

Although Mr. Chi's explanation may seem like a show of wealth, it is also true. He believes that Mr. Jirokichi, who is usually very generous with his money, can understand it.

"After my explanation, Suzuki Consultant seemed to accept my explanation and did not make a fuss," Chi Shinnosuke continued, "When we discussed investment projects this afternoon, he decided to let the Suzuki Group participate in two investment projects in China and went to see the giant panda cubs. After hearing that you were going to auction the "Sunflower" in the United States, he originally planned to fly to the United States to find you overnight, but was persuaded by his secretary. He planned to stay in the hotel tonight and leave tomorrow morning."

"This consultant is really strong. Even though he is over 70 years old, he still loves to toss more than many young people," Chi Feichi He complained expressionlessly, and then said, "So he plans to come to the United States, is he planning to..."

"He said he was also interested in that painting, and he wanted to hold an exhibition of Van Gogh's sunflower paintings in Japan, and wanted to talk to you," Ike Shinnosuke said lightly, "He didn't say what he wanted to talk to you about specifically, and I didn't ask, probably just about buying and borrowing paintings."

"Then I'll talk to him after he arrives in the United States," Ike Feichi paused, "However, I have already agreed with Mr. Terai and Kaito to buy the painting and bring it back to Japan for exhibition, so I will not give up on taking pictures of the painting."
