"Professor Hu, I think you need to revisit this information and don't make impulsive decisions. The funds for the experiment will be provided by the American medical equipment company I'm collaborating with. They don't mind increasing their funding as long as we have enough cases."
Chene was acting like triumph was within his grasp. He firmly believed that his cooperation terms could not be refused.
Director Hu sneered inwardly:
Just as Professor Liang advised, the foundation of any cooperation is equality and self-sufficiency. You are bringing immature technology to negotiate cooperation, simply treating us as your lab rats. Who are you fooling?
"Let's not discuss this." Director Hu repeated his refusal.
"Professor Hu---" Chene tried to convince Director Hu.
Director Hu waived his hand: "Chene, how about we get through the conference first, and then we revisit the cooperation proposal after the meeting?"
