Ever since he learned that Lu Yiming wanted to buy a photolithography machine, he had thought about how Lu Yiming would buy it for a long time, but he never expected that it would be through such a method.

Lu Yiming said: "Just one set is not enough. I plan to transport this set back for them to dismantle for research. I need to buy more."

Lu Yiming's goal is not only to allow Xia Guo to have lithography machines that can be used, but to enable Xia Guo to develop and produce lithography machines by itself, and it is a research on the entire industry chain, so that not a single screw needs to be imported. So.

Obviously, just one machine is not enough.

Buying a photolithography machine must be done in one go. This time, if you buy it back to the beautiful country, you will definitely know that the embargo will be stricter, and Epstein will probably be unable to do anything by then.

Therefore, it is safest to buy a few more units at once when you have the opportunity.

The next day, Lu Yiming came directly to Epstein's door and met with him to discuss the purchase of a photolithography machine.

"Do you want to buy a photolithography machine?"

Epstein looked very surprised and said: "That is something that the Beautiful Country has banned from exporting to the Xia Country. Not only the complete machine, but even the parts are not allowed to be circulated to the Xia Country."

Lu Yiming raised his eyebrows and said, "Is the friendship between the two of us so fragile?"

Epstein sighed: "Although I am a Jew, I was born on Brooklyn Street in New York City. I deeply love this great country... Lu, I treat you as a friend, and you can't let me be ignorant."

Do this kind of thing with conscience."

Lu Yiming said calmly: "For one billion US dollars, I want three sets of the latest and largest photolithography machines."

"Lu, you know, we... how much do you say?"

Epstein suddenly stood up and looked at Lu Yiming.

"One billion US dollars to buy three sets of photolithography machines?"

One billion US dollars, let alone three sets of photolithography machines, is probably more than enough to buy three nuclear bombs.

People die for money, and birds die for food.

Epstein himself was not a person who liked to abide by the law, otherwise he would not have built his "Happy Island".

As for having a deep love for a beautiful country, that is even more ridiculous.

In Epstein's mind, if there was a price for patriotism, it would be one billion dollars!

So faced with this huge temptation, he couldn't refuse.

However, Epstein is not stupid. No matter how powerful his personal abilities are, it is impossible for him to fight against the country. Especially for a person of his level, buying a future for one billion US dollars is indeed not a good deal.

But it’s impossible not to sell it.

"You know, if we hand over the money and deliver the goods, the IRS and the FBI will come to check on me. How are you going to pay for it?"

Epstein has skipped the question of whether to sell or not and talked directly about price. After all, to a qualified capitalist, everything has a price.

One billion U.S. dollars is by no means a small number. Epstein was not worried that Lu Yiming would not be able to get so much money, but he was worried that the sudden addition of such a large amount of money to his bank account would arouse unnecessary suspicion.

The no-sale list is no joke. Although Epstein did not take the law seriously, the cost was too high and the risks were too high, so he would not do it.

Lu Yiming understood what Epstein's concerns were, so he said empathetically: "Don't worry, the way I pay for goods is quite special, and I guarantee that no one will see any flaws."

Then, he took out his checkbook and a signature pen from his pocket.

Epstein said: "There's no use signing a check, otherwise I'm afraid I'll go to jail tonight if I take your money now."

Lu Yiming wrote a series of strange numbers and English letters in the checkbook.

Lu Yiming handed the note to Epstein and said calmly: "Don't worry, what I wrote is not a check."

Epstein looked at the line of words on the note and frowned: "2002, 10, TASR, 154? What does this mean? Are you kidding me?"

Lu Yiming said: "This is the wealth code. The first two numbers are very simple, they are the year and month, T Guo Bing SR is the name of the stock, and as for the last 154, that is the selling price. You only need to follow what I say

Date, buy a few stocks, and then sell them at the specified price. If you don’t make one billion U.S. dollars in four years, I will double the compensation to you.”

After finishing speaking, Lu Yiming looked at Epstein calmly: "How about this, this is the first stock, and there will be four more stocks in the future. As long as you are willing to help me, they are yours. I want to make money through stock trading.

No one will doubt you, right? This is the safest method of payment, and this money is completely legal income. No matter who checks it, there will be no problem."

Epstein tightened the paper in his hand. He could just put it away now. If Lu Yiming was right, he could make a lot of money just from the stock in his hand.

But if Lu Yiming is right, that means there are four equally valuable stocks!

Greed prevented him from giving up, just like a fish tempted by bait. Even though he knew there was a hook, he still couldn't help but get excited.

In the end, Epstein still couldn't resist Daole's charm and asked Lu Yiming: "Are you sure these stocks you mentioned can earn me a billion dollars?"

Lu Yiming said confidently: "As long as there is more, Saltwater Fund is the best answer. You know how accurate my vision is."

"Okay, you convinced me."
