Liu Jiankun's proposal was certainly tempting, but it was just a jest, not to say a trillion wouldn't be accepted, but such a high price was impossible to fetch.
Top-tier institutions would indeed clamor to purchase an ultra-high-density alien technology product, and 10 million per item might even be considered low, but even the most elite institutions have limited funds to use, and the number of buyers for such items is extremely limited.
Using alien technology as a selling point could indeed attract some institutions to purchase, but fetching several billion would be quite good, and the possibilities of reaching over a hundred billion, let alone several hundred billion, are slim—not to mention a trillion.
Selling for just tens of billions would be very unworthy, as it would sacrifice future credibility and image, a truly unprofitable deal. Moreover, leaking information prematurely would compromise confidentiality, so even tens of billions wouldn't clinch the deal.
