"Young Master Han, something's wrong. We just received news that the director of the Jiangbei City Industry and Commerce Bureau has been arrested. The entire bureau has undergone a reshuffle, and everyone who conspired with the director is being investigated. And the mastermind behind all of this is Haitong Group!"
"They've already obtained the business license for the new energy vehicle company and have started construction on that piece of land. What do we do now?"
A man looked at Han Cheng'en, who was sitting in the center, and said cautiously.
"What? The director of the Industry and Commerce Bureau has been arrested?"
Upon hearing this, Han Cheng'en's eyes instantly turned cold. He hadn't expected the person he had just bribed to fall so quickly. Han Cheng'en had already spent tens of millions on this director alone, only to find out it was all for nothing, and the director was arrested so soon.
"Damn it, has that Lu Yang returned?"
Han Cheng'en continued to ask.
"Yes, it was Lu Yang who brought people to arrest him. I heard from our inside source that Lu Yang's identity is not simple; he seems to be some kind of Zhonglang General in Huaguo!"
The man continued.
"Zhonglang General?"
"I heard that Zhonglang General in Huaguo is a powerful official title. It seems we need to find another way to deal with their Haitong Group!"
"Fortunately, I've already partnered with the American Tesla Group. Since we can't get that piece of land, we'll find a new one and quickly produce Teslas to occupy the market share in Jiang Province. I want their new company to go bankrupt as soon as it starts production!"
Lu Yang said coldly again.
"Alright, Young Master Han, I'll go find a piece of land right away!"
The man agreed and immediately walked out.
"The rest of you, don't be idle. Find some thugs from Jiangbei City, Huaguo, and harass their construction site every day. Don't let them have an easy time!"
Han Cheng'en then shifted his gaze to the bodyguards standing beside him and shouted.
"Yes!"
The bodyguards quickly agreed.
...
After Lu Yang briefed Lin Guoxiong, he went directly to the Guomao Shopping Mall. He wasn't there to shop but to go to the top floor of the Guomao Shopping Mall, which was the secret laboratory of the Heavenly Sword Company.
Lu Yang walked to the door and entered the command password. The door quickly opened. There were already over twenty researchers in the laboratory, and controlled nuclear fusion had achieved significant results, which greatly pleased Lu Yang.
The research on controlled nuclear fusion had been ongoing for more than twenty years. His father, Lu Tianfeng, had initially established a company to research controlled nuclear fusion experiments. However, due to the interference of certain dark forces, the company eventually went bankrupt, leaving only Old Yan to persist. Now, with Lu Yang's involvement, all the equipment had been replaced with new ones, and researchers in this field had been recruited. With everyone working together, controlled nuclear fusion had finally achieved some small successes.
However, they were still far from their goal.
Upon seeing Lu Yang arrive, Old Yan immediately took out their experimental report to show him.
"You don't need to show me this stuff; I'm not a scientist, I wouldn't understand it. If you have time, just hand it over to the country!"
Lu Yang looked at Old Yan and smiled slightly.
"Alright, Mr. Lu, we will conduct further research. Once the results are confirmed, we will definitely hand them over to the country. These results will have a significant impact on the country's nuclear weapons research!"
Old Yan said immediately.
"Hmm!"
"You have all worked hard. I thank you on behalf of Haitong Group!"
Lu Yang continued.
"This is all what we should be doing!"
Old Yan quickly replied.
"By the way, I've recently established a new energy vehicle company, and I'm currently facing a technical challenge: the endurance of new energy vehicles. The electric cars sold on the market have a maximum range of only seven to eight hundred kilometers. Can you research a battery with a longer range?"
Lu Yang looked at Old Yan and asked again.
"I'm not very familiar with battery-related matters. Let me find a specialist in this area for you!"
Old Yan said, and then walked directly into the laboratory. Less than thirty seconds later, a man in his forties with a scraggly beard stood before Lu Yang.
"Mr. Lu, this is Dr. Wang Junwen. He is a specialist in battery research and is responsible for the resistance research in our controlled nuclear fusion. I believe he can help you!"
Old Yan said to Lu Yang.
"Dr. Wang, please have a seat!"
Lu Yang quickly motioned for Wang Junwen to sit.
"Mr. Lu, you are too kind!"
Wang Junwen already knew that Lu Yang was their benefactor and that all the funding came from Lu Yang, so he was very polite to Lu Yang.
"Then I'll get straight to the point. I've invested in a new energy vehicle company and want batteries with longer range. Do you have any good suggestions or technical support?"
Lu Yang looked at Wang Junwen and asked with a smile.
"Batteries?"
Upon hearing the word, Wang Junwen immediately became excited.
"Mr. Lu, to be honest, when I was a graduate student, I wrote a paper on batteries. However, this paper was deemed fanciful and imaginative, and ultimately I was not allowed to publish it. This setback greatly affected me, and I was dejected for three years. It wasn't until I saw your recruitment notice here that I came. I never expected to meet a group of like-minded friends here!"
"Now that you need batteries, I think I can be of service!"
Wang Junwen said excitedly.
"Oh? Then tell me your idea!"
Hearing Wang Junwen's words, Lu Yang also became interested and looked at Wang Junwen, smiling.
"Most of the batteries on the market are lithium batteries. These batteries have both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that the development cost is low, and the raw materials are abundant, but their endurance is relatively weak. Of course, this weakness is relative to the old batteries of the past, with a maximum range of seven to eight hundred kilometers. What I am researching is sodium batteries. I discovered during research that sodium has excellent electricity storage capabilities, but there hasn't been a complete technological breakthrough in its development and research!"
"This technology was actually mentioned in my thesis. As long as I am given enough manpower, I believe I can research sodium batteries to replace lithium batteries. I estimate the range could reach two thousand kilometers!"
Wang Junwen explained patiently to Lu Yang.
"Great, with your words, I feel more confident. What kind of manpower do you need? I'll recruit them for you now and assemble a strong team!"
"My expectations are not too high. As long as the battery's range can reach fifteen hundred kilometers, I will be satisfied!"
Lu Yang said with a slight smile.
