C3569 Lion's Mouth
"You kicked him out for your own good."
"But what does it have to do with me?"
"My benefits will not increase, instead they will decrease."
"I put in a lot of effort to cultivate Malcolm. He represents my interests."
"As long as he is president of Nasa, Nasa will continue to create wealth."
"And you want to kick him out?"
"Hehe, I can't agree to that!"
Yes, Augustus wanted to kick Malco out of the game because of their own interests.
But what does all this have to do with Cook?
What could he get out of it?
The answer is no.
Not only would he not get anything from it, he would even lose an important chess piece!
Right, a chess piece!
Marko had been his pawn from the beginning.
The purpose was to transform Nasa from a purely scientific research institution that was in debt to a commercial institute that could turn a loss into a profit.
And now, someone wanted to destroy his achievements.
He could not accept this!
"You don't agree?"
Hearing Cook's words, Augustus smiled faintly.
Cook didn't agree because of how good his relationship with Ma Ke was.
It was just because Malcolm was still useful to him! Marko represented his interests.
However, if the price they offered exceeded the benefits Malco represented, then Cook would naturally agree!
Cook wasn't a researcher. In essence, he was a simple businessman!
"Cook, we're all smart people, just name a price …"
"We are all merchants. As long as the benefits are with us, there is nothing that we can't discuss!" Augustus said with a smile.
As long as you are a merchant, we can talk!
As long as the benefits were in line, Cook would let it go!
Sure enough, after hearing Augustus's words, a faint smile appeared on Cook's face.
"Talking to smart people is easy!"
"How about this, let me settle some accounts for Mr. Augustus!"
"So far, Nasa has created more than a billion dollars for me."2
"One billion a year, that's one billion. If Marko stays in office for three years, that's three billion."
"I don't have much, Augustus only needs to give me 2.5 billion, then I will immediately agree to kick Ma Ke out of the game. What do you think?" Cook squinted his eyes and asked with a smile.
How about it?
It was simply an exorbitant demand!
Augustus originally thought that Qin Luo's mouth was already big enough.
However, he never expected that Cook's mouth was not one bit inferior to Qin Luo's.
In fact, he was even better than Qin Luo.
Others, Qin Luo at least had the capital to threaten them.
But what about in Cook's hands?
No!
Nothing!
He was thinking of asking for a sky-high price just by opening his mouth!
Hehehe...
Augustus was completely furious at that time!
He felt that Cook was treating him like a fat sheep and a fool!
But was he an idiot?
No!
No!
"Heh …" "..."
"Hehe …"
"Hehehe …" "..."
"Cook, do you think I'm stupid?"
"No, no, no! Mr. Augustus, that's not what I meant? "
"Then what the f * ck do you mean by saying 2.5 billion?"
"I just want to ask you, what qualifications do you have to ask for 2.5 billion?"
