"This is what you call a perfectly reasonable justification?" Yang Yunhe's expression turned incredibly strange when he finally learned the origin of the equipment. The source turned out to be Jiang Youchang, his senior sister's ex-husband.
Initially, due to the overwhelming amount of recent events, Yang Yunhe and his senior sister had very little time to spend together. Unexpectedly, his senior sister called him, stating that Jiang Youchang wanted to do business with him and asking if Yang Yunhe was willing to meet.
Although Yang Yunhe felt extremely displeased with his senior sister's ex-husband, he understood the situation when his senior sister mentioned that Tian Fuge's phone call had revealed the business involved medical testing equipment. Yang Yunhe realized this was likely the "perfectly reasonable" product origin that Goldman Sachs had spoken of.
Indeed, when Yang Yunhe met with his senior sister's ex-husband, the latter mysteriously informed Yang Yunhe that he had recently acquired a set of used high-energy ion detection equipment through a special channel, and it was currently stored in a warehouse in Sweden.
He had also heard about the problems Jiangnan Group was facing and had specifically come to see if Yang Yunhe was interested in the equipment.
If he was, the price was not high. The equipment, originally priced at $30 million, would be sold to them for a mere $50 million.
Well, this man was certainly adept at doing business. Yang Yunhe immediately stated that he couldn't make this decision himself and needed to consult his boss. He then pretended to make a call to Huang He.
In reality, Yang Yunhe had already reported this matter to Huang He, who had given instructions for Yang Yunhe to play along.
As expected, Huang He readily agreed on the phone for Yang Yunhe to purchase the used equipment and also asked the seller to handle the transportation.
Jiang Youchang readily agreed and happily went to make arrangements.
For Jiang Youchang, this was a windfall. A few days prior, a friend had suddenly informed him about the existence of such equipment and asked if he was interested in taking it.
Initially, Jiang Youchang had no interest. However, during their conversation, this friend had proactively mentioned Jiangnan Group's situation and expressed that Jiangnan Group would likely need such equipment now.
Furthermore, Jiangnan Group was not short of money, so they likely wouldn't have a problem paying a price higher than that of new equipment for a used unit.
Jiang Youchang then had an epiphany. He proactively purchased the used equipment for $20 million and then sold it to Jiangnan Group for $50 million, making a profit of $30 million. Jiang Youchang was ecstatic.
However, Jiang Youchang's good fortune didn't last long. When he approached a contact in the underworld, hoping they could transport the equipment into the hospital through special channels, he was quoted an exorbitant shipping fee of $28 million.
Jiang Youchang naturally refused and was subsequently beaten up. It was rumored that some unconventional methods were used, leaving Jiang Youchang confined to bed for a considerable period.
Ultimately, Jiang Youchang had to agree to the outrageous quote. The profit he made was $2 million, which he figured was enough to cover the medical expenses for his posterior.
Unbeknownst to Jiang Youchang, both the so-called friend and the underworld contact responsible for transportation were arranged by Goldman Sachs. Goldman Sachs intended to leverage Jiang Youchang's identity to deliver the equipment to Jiangnan Group as reasonably as possible.
However, when Goldman Sachs learned that Jiang Youchang had sold the $20 million equipment for a staggering $50 million, the local representative of Goldman Sachs became incredibly envious.
He then proactively contacted the underworld contact again, subjected Jiang Youchang to further torment, and siphoned off most of his profits before feeling satisfied.
As for whether this would raise suspicion towards Yang Yunhe, Goldman Sachs believed it wouldn't. After all, the entire process had a traceable origin: the equipment was decommissioned from a university's high-energy physics research center and had been stored there for many years. Selling it to Jiangnan Group through the ex-husband's connections at this time was logically sound.
Well, one couldn't help but wonder where they got their confidence. However, Jiangnan Group didn't seem to harbor excessive doubts, and the Europeans remained unaware that such a large piece of equipment had been smuggled into the hospital right under their noses.
Therefore, although three or four people were monitoring the hospital, Sweden, as a welfare state, strictly adhered to labor laws. Work ended at the designated time, and overtime was strictly prohibited.
After 6 PM, the surveillance personnel began to leave for home one after another. As for someone transporting the equipment into the hospital under the cover of darkness in the early morning, they couldn't be blamed for being asleep. Who would have expected people in the underworld to work overtime?
In any case, the equipment was successfully delivered. Yang Yunhe then hesitantly asked Huang He if they should use the equipment to test the remains, as this would inevitably involve dissecting and sectioning the body for research. This would be quite embarrassing for Huang He, who had always publicly stated his commitment to preserving the dignity of his employees.
Moreover, the family representatives were still waiting outside the morgue.
"Of course, we must test it!" Huang He replied without hesitation. "As for the family representatives, I will communicate with them directly over the phone!"
Yang Yunhe was unsure how Huang He communicated with these families, but the next day, the family representatives withdrew. Yang Yunhe promptly wheeled out Professor Zhao's body and proceeded with the testing using the equipment.
"How is it? Does the body indeed contain the God Particle?" Huang He eagerly inquired on the second day of the testing.
"We've found some faint traces, but they are extremely weak, and it's not certain if they were caused by the God Particle. There's a more than 70% probability that it originates from other high-energy particles. More meticulous and thorough testing is required to reach a final conclusion," Yang Yunhe replied.
"Good, don't rush. Conduct the tests diligently and meticulously. Ensure you arrive at a conclusion that is as close to the truth as possible!" Huang He instructed.
"Yes, Boss. I understand your meaning, but I fear the Europeans might not give us so much time," Yang Yunhe expressed with some concern. "The Europeans might be getting impatient. I heard they might make a move to seize the remains in a few days."
"Rest assured, before you reach your final conclusion, not a single extra person will be able to enter Wester General Hospital! I guarantee it!" Huang He declared confidently.
"Boss, do we have such powerful influence in Europe?" Yang Yunhe asked in shock, surprised that his boss would make such a bold promise.
"Alas, we don't have any powerful influence. Otherwise, we wouldn't be trapped in this hospital unable to leave!" Huang He chuckled. "But it doesn't matter if we don't; as long as the United States has the power, that's enough! They will ensure our safety."
Indeed, over the following weeks, although the Europeans outside remained vocal, they never made any direct aggressive moves. This allowed Yang Yunhe and the other high-energy particle experts to complete the entire testing process smoothly and meticulously over three weeks, submitting a comprehensive report to Huang He.
"There is a 78.98% probability that the God Particle was created at the moment of impact. This particle only existed in the body for no more than three minutes before dissipating on its own!" This was the final conclusion of the report.
While this result was surprising, it was not entirely shocking, as the world already knew that the remains likely contained the God Particle, and everyone was aware of its existence for no more than 1/1000th of a second. This report's finding fell entirely within the scope of this speculation, hence no astonishment.
"However, Boss, what's truly important are the various parameters we've derived!" Yang Yunhe stated. "Previously, everyone knew about the God Particle and had speculated and calculated its characteristics and data. But all those results were human conjecture. This time, the data obtained through testing represents the most accurate data display of the God Particle."
"And this data significantly deviates from the data previously guessed through mathematical models, almost overturning half of the speculations and conclusions about the God Particle. This is a tremendous contribution."
"Secondly, these real data can be used to reverse-engineer certain data of the God Particle itself, thereby more precisely setting the impact parameters and ultimately generating the God Particle we require. This data can at least accelerate the entire process by over 93%."
"With this data, the speed of producing God Particles using particle colliders will be greatly enhanced!" Yang Yunhe enthusiastically explained the immense value behind these figures.
Huang He naturally praised him highly and awarded Yang Yunhe additional commendations.
"Boss!" Yang Yunhe licked his lips. "Goldman Sachs came asking for the data again yesterday. Should I give them the real data, or should I modify it before providing it?"
"Not a single change!" Huang He replied without hesitation.
"Ah, if that's the case, then the Americans will also possess the ability to produce the God Particle, and their speed will be significantly faster than ours. We..."
"Do you think the Americans have no other trump cards up their sleeves?"
"I can guarantee that this equipment must have monitoring devices installed, capable of recording the final detected data and sending it to its original owner via the network. I suspect they may already possess data comparable to ours. If you give them the data now, wouldn't that expose your dual-agent identity?"
"Your safety is paramount! Nothing else is important," Huang He concluded with a smile.
