Bab 40: Chapter 39: Not Worth Mentioning In My Eyes!
Both Ben and Hobbes were eager to learn more about Ethan's latest breakthrough, especially after he hinted at groundbreaking lab results.
Currently, Pokémon Biotechn managed two state-of-the-art facilities. Lab No. 1, the older of the two, specialized in culture tanks, while Lab No. 2, a cutting-edge facility, focused on incubation and development processes.
Ethan led the group to Lab No. 2, located over 30 minutes from the company headquarters. As their convoy arrived, the security guard at the gate greeted him with respect.
"Mr. Grave," the guard said with a respectful nod.
It had been a packed day for Ethan, he'd hosted one delegation in the morning and now another in the afternoon.
"Follow me, everyone," Ethan instructed, leading the group into the facility.
Lab No. 2 was meticulously organized and divided into specialized sections: breeder rooms, incubation units, and medical facilities. One room, the research lab, was currently unused due to the absence of biological designers but was earmarked for future expansion into an advanced incubation hub. Ethan's plans for the facility were bold and transformative.
He guided the group to the nursery room, where vibrant activity greeted them. A group of Squirtle was energetically splashing in a pool, playing among themselves. One Squirtle, more specifically Hydro, noticed Ethan and swam over, rubbing against his feet in clear anticipation of a treat.
"Thirsty, Hydro?" Ethan said with a laugh, gently lifting the Pokémon before setting it back in the water.
Nearby, a Charmander sat calmly in the pool, its fiery tail glowing brightly. As soon as it spotted Ethan, it leaped out of the water and into his arms. Ethan stroked its head affectionately.
Hobbes, watching intently, narrowed his eyes. A Pokémon with control over fire in such an environment? That was intriguing.
Ethan turned to the group with a confident smile, gesturing toward the Squirtle and Charmander. "Mr. Hobbes, do you still think I need Northam Group's genetic technology? What you see here are the results of my latest work, genetic organisms capable of mastering both water and fire."
Hobbes's composure faltered. "That's impossible! Northam Group's core genetic technology represents decades of research, billions of dollars in investment, and contributions from some of the brightest scientists in the world. How could you achieve this on your own?"
Ethan chuckled, stroking Charmander's head. "Why not? Maybe it's just genius at work. Your technology might seem groundbreaking to you, but to me, it's elementary. I designed Pokémon like these in under a month, and this is only the beginning."
Hobbes clenched his fists, visibly struggling to maintain his poise. "Mr. Grave, I'd suggest a bit more humility. Northam Group's genetic biology expertise is unrivaled."
"And yet, here you are, trying to acquire my technology," Ethan retorted sharply. "If you're so confident in your team, go back and refine your research. While Northam's evolutionary gene technology is impressive, I have no need for it."
Hobbes fell silent, his earlier confidence shaken. Ethan continued, pointing to Charmander and Hydro. "Do you have any idea how long it took me to design these organisms? Less than a month. And now, I'm already working on something even more extraordinary. Let me be clear: I don't need your technology. If Northam wants to negotiate, you'll need to bring something far more compelling to the table."
Hobbes, visibly unsettled, realized he had underestimated Ethan. Though he doubted some of Ethan's claims, the results in front of him were undeniable. With no immediate rebuttal, he left to report back to his superiors.
Ethan turned to Ben and Anthon, his expression confident. "Now, let's talk business. Do you still think 1 billion dollars is too much for an 18% stake in my company?"
Both men were speechless. After witnessing Charmander and Hydro, it was clear they had underestimated both Ethan and his company.
Ethan's tone was unwavering as he continued. "To be honest, even 10 billion wouldn't persuade me to sell 18%. I'm not interested in acquisitions or external investments. But if you're open to discussing channel cooperation, I'm all ears. Let's make money together. That benefits everyone, wouldn't you agree?"
Ben hesitated, glancing at Anthony before replying. "I'll need to consult with my brother, Mr. Grave. We'll get back to you as soon as possible."
With that, Ben and Anthon departed, their perception of Ethan and Pokémon Biotechnology inc., completely transformed.
