The God Virus

Chapter 177: The Profit Would Be...

As his stare abruptly turned much sharper, the CEO ugly added, "Oh... Also, don’t forget to remind every person on the list to the very last one not to have any funny thoughts against our company or the cure itself... I mean thoughts like ’Why go through so much trouble? We just need to simply destroy their company and snatch their technologies and ’Ai Virus 001: The Savior’, right?’, or thought’s like, ’Let’s just find the location of the cure and the techs and steal them.’... because first of all... I’m pretty sure you guys won’t be able to find a thing and even if you do... you won’t be able to gain access to it... and secondly, in case they do such a thing or anything similar happens, the deal is completely off and the contract would have no meaning anymore, alright?"

Listening to the CEO ugly’s words, a shiver went down the President’s spine as he felt that what he claimed was absolutely true and that if anyone tried anything funny, he felt that he would definitely keep his word and the country would truly die!

So he promised, "Don’t worry, I’ll do my best to stop something like this from happening!"

Nodding his head, he replied, "Good! Now, you can read the rest of the terms in the contract!"

"Ah... alright, then please wait for a while." After mouthing this, the President began reading the rest of the clauses which had to do with the trade of ’Ai Virus 001: The Savior’.

14. Trade terms with the USA exclusively related to the ’Ai Virus 001: The Savior’:

14.1 The trade price of the ’Ai Virus 001: The Savior’ sold by party A to Party B for each injection will be at the price of 10USD.

14.2 Party B will only use the ’Ai Virus 001: The Savior’ for their own citizens and that means Party B will be using it only in order to cure the Mutated HIV of their people and absolutely for no other purpose like trade and profit.

14.3 The number of the ’Ai Virus 001: The Savior’ Party A will provide will be five percent more than the whole population of the United States of America in case Party B requests for it, please keep in mind it absolutely won’t exceed that number.

14.4 Party B will assist Party A in contacting the highest authority of each country and will help arrange a meeting with each of those people of the highest authority.

14.5 Party B will promptly begin advertising Party A as the savior of mankind in every media outlet they have control on in order to create an extremely positive image for them.

14.6 Party B will unconditionally support whatever decision Party A makes regarding the trade of ’Ai Virus 001: The Savior’ with other countries and if necessary, will even go against the other countries and publicly advertise that the decision of the Party A was entirely just.

14.7 In case any of the terms of clause 14 is broken by Party B, the contract will be terminated and Party B will be punished according to the other clauses mentioned before clause 14.

That was the end of the clauses so the President raised his head with a little speechlessness as he asked with a bit of hesitation in a soft voice, "Mr. Greg, didn’t you say every clause was absolutely for the benefit of the country... but... why..."

"Oh, of course, some of the clauses will require a little bit of working from your part but it’s absolutely nothing for the country to at least do this much for us, right?" With a compassionate smile full of ugliness, the CEO ugly voiced.

’A little bit of work? What about the clauses before clause 14? Are they not counted?’ Frustrated, the President thought, however, he didn’t dare to say that out loud since he was afraid the ugly in front of him might make it even more difficult for him.

Watching his face which had some dissatisfaction on it, the CEO ugly decided to explain, "Mr. President, like I said before, we’re going to be selling you each injection of ’Ai Virus 001: The Savior’ at only ten dollars which is half the price of what we’re going to be selling to the other countries since each injection will cost twenty-one dollars for the other countries! Heck, we’re even selling it to you at less than half that price!"

"And let me tell you one more fact about what we’re sacrificing here." Wanting to elaborate further so the President would understand exactly what was going, the CEO ugly continued further, "Do you know how much each of those injections costs for us?"

"How much?" Curious, the President inquired.

"After considering the costs of making and utilizing the technologies, gathering the materials, using those materials, utilizing manpower, etc, etc... for each injection... it’s exactly twenty-one dollars!" Stating this shocking fact, he continued, "And here comes the reason why I said this trade has nothing to do with profit at the beginning of our meeting if you remember... Mr. President, we’re not that evil to try to make a profit out of this kind of situation which involves the whole humanity! So, our generous chairman has made a decision to sell those injections exactly at the cost we made them so we won’t gain anything from it!" At this time, with a greatly impressed expression appearing on his face as if he was talking about a saint when he mentioned Virus, he continued, "And guess what! Even though, we’re going to be selling it to the rest of the world with no loss or gain... we’re going to be selling it to the United States at a very big loss from our part since we are greatly moved by the countries sincerity for this contract and we feel like this kind of benefit should be the least we offer the country in exchange for the contract!"

An astonished expression sat on the President’s face for a moment, however, it didn’t take long for it to disappear entirely from as he pondered, ’Wait a moment... who knows how much each of those injections actually costs for them... it might’ve even cost them only eight dollars for each injection! And that means they would be still profiting from us... ahhh, I should be more careful not to be tricked by this extremely deceitful person.’

As this thought was passing through the President’s head, a different one was going through the CEO ugly’s, ’Actually... each injection costs us around eight cents...’

The President couldn’t stop himself from considering even further, ’If it’s like that... let’s see how much they will be gaining from this, hmm... the whole world’s population right now is less than seven billion... but let’s make it round and consider it seven billion... hmm in that case... if each person costs twenty dollars... that means..." After a short pause of simple contemplation, a shocked expression sat on his face as the notion of his result he had arrived at passed through his head, ’Fuck me!!! Hundred and forty billion dollars!!!!!!!!!!!!!’

’Okay... let’s say half of the price is the cost of the injection the company has to spend... even then... their profit would be... Oh my God, it’s freaking seventy billion dollars!!!’ Thought the President dumbfoundedly.
