Getting Better
Seeing that the Nair People were wavering, the human negotiator immediately pressed his advantage, speaking earnestly, "We can only offer you an additional two million, making it twenty-seven million Transaction Points. This price is already several million higher than the market price, and it's the highest we can offer. If you are unwilling to sell, then there's nothing we can do."
Furthermore, you've likely seen a lot about this in the 'Milky Way Galaxy Basic Common Sense Information,' so frankly, you don't lack valuable goods; you just haven't realized it before.
"Oh~~~" The Nair People negotiator used an inexplicable tone, which the translator rendered as a drawn-out "Oh~". After this interjection, the Nair People negotiator continued, "You're referring to Biosphere Resources?"
"That's right. The only things that civilizations in the universe can exchange are energy, scientific theories, Technology Tree, technical documents, research experience, and various biological resources within the biosphere. These are the accumulations of nature over billions or even tens of billions of years, containing all sorts of mysteries about life, and are undoubtedly cosmic treasures," the human side replied.
After all, the information had already been sold to the Nair People for 100 million Transaction Points, and the information about Biosphere Resources was naturally included in it, since this was the only way to purchase their biological resources from the Nair People.
Of course, humanity did not say that Biosphere Resources are more valuable than other technologies, but rather that Biosphere Resources are precious and tradable resources that are acceptable to all civilizations in all interstellar trading markets, and are therefore priced at the same level as general technologies.
While this might lead the Nair People to buy human Biosphere Resources at low prices, humans have the absolute power to ensure the Nair People always owe them Transaction Points, so this isn't a major problem.
Even if the Nair People really wanted human Biosphere Resources, they could just offer some Kun-Tai Civilization or Wolf Levorotatory DNA Biosphere Resources to appease them, and then claim that they were a fleet exploring everywhere and didn't carry too many organisms.
However, humanity never expected that the Pot Lid Vastness Star was not the home planet of the Nair People. The Second Star Region that controlled this Star System was actually a force of the Nair People. They did have many plants and animals from their home planet here, but it was Space Base after all. Even if there were many, it could not be as rich as a home planet.
Therefore, obtaining a planet's diverse biological resources from the Nair People is probably not feasible.
At this moment, the governor of the Second Star Region Abdominal Generator: "Very well. We will draft a list of biological resources next, but since our home planet is not here, we can't provide many biological resources."
Seeing that it was the Grand Governor was speaking, Yue Yuan from the human side also spoke up, "It's alright. We'll take all the kinds of plants and animals you have here, and the price can be based on the standards of the Interstellar Transaction Market."
Will this standard be acceptable?
Just as Governor-General Nair mentioned the price, Yue Yuan laughed and said, "Your Excellency, rest assured, we certainly know what to do. Since you have been so enthusiastic in welcoming us into the star system and providing us with various supplies, we can offer you some discounts on the price. We'll give you an 80% discount on the interstellar trading market price. We will now send you the basic pricing range for various biosphere resources in the interstellar trading market."
At this point, Yue Yuan gave a wink to the person in charge of fabricating intelligence, signaling him to quickly send the false biosphere pricing list to the Nair People.
Although it was false information, the comprehensiveness of its content was quite eye-opening for the Nair People.
After obtaining this basic price reference for Biosphere Resources, which humans claimed to have obtained from the Interstellar Transaction Market but was actually fabricated, the Nair People all turned off their microphones and began to read it carefully.
Putting everything else aside, the classification and pricing methods of Biosphere Resources were quite novel to them, and they couldn't help but whisper among themselves to their colleagues.
"Your Grand Governor, look at this. The trading unit for Biosphere Resources is not fixed. Instead, it is determined by the type of flora and fauna, as well as the degree of exploration of a particular category by the civilization holding the resource. This degree of exploration includes the completion of the written Gene Map, which is what biologists call the genetic code sequence."
"Hmm, they even require Gene Map completion rate." The Grand Governor muttered, then turned to a biologist on the other side and asked, "Dr. Argin, how many species in our Second Star Region currently possess complete genetic mapping records and have a full set of Gene Map?"
Dr. Argin sighed, "Only our own Gene Map, and a few animal Gene Map that are frequently used in clinical research, are fully explored and possess the complete Gene Map; most others do not."
"In that case, wouldn't we only be able to sell them to humans at the price of primitive biological resources?" The Grand Governor was clearly unhappy, because that would mean the price would be almost half. According to humans, the reason why organisms with Gene Map are so expensive is mainly because they contain the value of 'intelligence and knowledge'.
The Nair People agree with this statement.
After a brief pause, the Grand Governor asked again, "Dr. Argin, do you think we could create a fake Gene Map for some plants and animals?"
"Similar categories are fine, but Your Grand Governor, I'm afraid we can't fool the humans. They have experience in Interstellar Transaction Market and will know to inspect goods after receiving them. In fact, it's not just biological Gene Map, but other scientific technologies as well. After all, this is something we all know, how could they not have thought of it?" Dr. Argin cracked his claws twice, indicating his head.
"Well, in that case, I'm afraid even if we sold all the creatures on our entire Pot Lid Vastness Star to humans, it wouldn't be enough to buy the technology we want."
"We can negotiate the price with Human Civilization. They have come from afar and probably want to obtain some technology from us, just like the Photon Computer technology before. Perhaps we have fallen into a misconception in this regard. What we consider to be ordinary technology may be a technology that Human Civilization has never seen before. I'm sure Your Grand Governor has also noticed the unique technology that Human Civilization mentioned when talking about 'Electronic Computer'."
"Oh! That's right. Dr. Argin means that we can bring out a lot of technologies that we believe they possess in negotiations?"
"Yes, that's it."
What do you think?
"I think it's feasible."
"I also think it's feasible!"
"Dr. Argin is right!"
"Yes, for example, Space Elevator technology. Perhaps Human Civilization also has it, but maybe they lack it in some other aspect?"
"Yes, that makes sense."
In the meeting room, one by one, the Nair People participated in the discussion.
At this moment, a member of the Nair Civilization military thought for a moment and then vibrated his vocal organs to say, "Your Grand Governor, I think we don't need to be too concerned about the current price. You should know that the transport fleet of the Second Star Region is still on its way. As long as we complete the resupply of humanity and the transaction with them before they arrive, we can achieve our goal."
Even if we suffer some losses, it doesn't matter. After all, once the humans leave, we can easily recoup our losses from the First Star Region. They'll have no choice but to accept the technology the humans sold us.
