"This Huang He is truly a lunatic!" Professor Parkinson exclaimed as he looked at the intelligence delivered by Yang Yunhe.
While the US Congress had rejected the proposal for the high-energy particle collider due to its exorbitant cost, the Jiangnan Group was now directly undertaking the project, using the resources of a single company to build a high-energy particle collider. This wasn't a business story; it was a fairy tale!
"Is this news reliable?" Professor Parkinson couldn't help but ask.
"According to Yang Yunhe's intelligence, Huang He's determination to build the high-energy particle collider is very firm. The project team was established on the second day, and on the third day, the first installment of $30 million in survey funds was transferred to the project team's account to survey terrain across China to find the most suitable region for the new collider."
"When Yang Yunhe transmitted the intelligence, he himself had already entered the mountainous regions of Guizhou to survey the hilly terrain. The $30 million in funds was also used to purchase various surveying equipment and was basically depleted. He is now applying for a second tranche of $50 million in follow-up funding to continue the surveys, and the money is reportedly arriving soon."
"So, the probability of this matter is extremely high, and there should be no other issues."
"Then tell me, could this Yang Yunhe have betrayed us! Deliberately feeding us false information?" Professor Parkinson still found it hard to believe and had already begun to suspect Yang Yunhe.
"This Yang Yunhe, who clearly boarded the special plane with Huang He, but his intelligence was a step behind, causing us to lose everything and become a laughingstock for others," Professor Parkinson questioned.
"Sir, this matter has been investigated. Yang Yunhe actually secretly transmitted the message as soon as he boarded the special plane, but the people in Europe were slow to relay the message. This is not Yang Yunhe's fault!" the secretary replied.
"I know, but why did Yang Yunhe have to wait until he boarded the special plane to transmit the message?"
"Huang He's entire deception plan was very thorough, and the coordination among all employees was extremely skillful, as if it had been rehearsed many times. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been executed so flawlessly on the first attempt."
"And if this strategy was rehearsed in advance, then as an important player, Yang Yunhe must have participated in the rehearsals. He should have known this secret long ago, but he didn't tell us immediately!" Professor Parkinson thought more and more that Yang Yunhe was very suspicious.
"Most of the employees involved in this deception were brought by Huang He from China, so they should have rehearsed in China. It's also normal for Huang He not to inform Yang Yunhe for the sake of secrecy. According to the explanation report of the entire incident that Yang Yunhe later sent us, he didn't even know about Huang He's arrival."
"He only learned about the entire plan in a brief explanation from Huang He at the boarding gate as the specimen was leaving customs. At that time, he was under Huang He's constant watch and had no opportunity to report the secret to us. It wasn't until after boarding that he found an opportunity to leak the information to ground crew personnel near the special plane," the secretary explained.
"That makes it even more suspicious. Before, Yang Yunhe stayed at the research center for half a year and only transmitted intelligence twice. And according to the contact person's description, Yang Yunhe was extremely reluctant to transmit intelligence, even very resistant, with a terrible expression on his face, and was extremely worried about his own safety."
"However, less than three months after returning to the country after this incident, he has already transmitted more than 10 pieces of intelligence to us, increasing the frequency of intelligence transmission by more than 10 times. This makes it even more suspicious. Could this Yang Yunhe have been turned by Huang He, and no longer worried about the Jiangnan Group discovering his intelligence transmission, thus becoming somewhat reckless?" Professor Parkinson questioned again.
"Yang Yunhe himself also explained that it's because he is now a vice-director, with higher security clearance and the opportunity to go out freely. Therefore, he doesn't need to rely solely on our courier to transmit intelligence. He has many more channels, which has increased the frequency!" the secretary explained.
One had to admit that Professor Parkinson's intuition was extremely sharp, and he keenly sensed many suspicious points about Yang Yunhe.
"Regardless, this Yang Yunhe is extremely suspicious. In the future, we must verify all intelligence from him repeatedly and be extra cautious. Any requests he makes must be personally approved by me. Especially if he asks for any technology to improve his status, then reject those requests directly. I don't think he's a good person at all!" Professor Parkinson muttered.
"Yes!" What else could the secretary say? He could only faithfully execute his boss's orders. However, no one expected that just a few hours later, Yang Yunhe would transmit another piece of intelligence.
"What the hell is this again? Is he asking us for something again?" Professor Parkinson asked impatiently upon hearing that Yang Yunhe had more intelligence.
"No!" The secretary's tone was almost excited. "It's technical data, boss. This is the technical data for black gold. Yang Yunhe has sent us the technical data for black gold!"
"What?" Professor Parkinson snatched the intelligence from the secretary's hand and, with a glance, began to tremble all over.
That's right, the intelligence was indeed the technical data for black gold, and it even included detailed methods for preparing black gold.
"What? This material is made by sticking it with tape?" Professor Parkinson first scanned it quickly and felt a wave of disbelief.
Because according to the information in this intelligence, the so-called black gold was actually an allotrope of graphite. The preparation process was also very magical, requiring layers upon layers of graphite to be peeled off with tape. The parts that could not be peeled off in the end were black gold.
In addition, there were large amounts of detailed property data for black gold, exposing almost the entire situation of black gold to Goldman Sachs!
If Professor Parkinson hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that this thing was prepared with tape.
At the end of the intelligence, Yang Yunhe also briefly explained the source of the technology.
It turned out that after Yang Yunhe took over the high-energy particle collider project, the Jiangnan Group proactively provided Yang Yunhe with the relevant information on black gold. This was because black gold could become a superconductor under certain conditions. Compared to other superconductors that required extremely harsh environmental conditions of minus one hundred degrees Celsius, black gold, after some modification, could achieve superconductivity at around minus forty degrees Celsius, which was a much more relaxed condition and the most suitable material for building a high-energy particle collider. Therefore, the Jiangnan Group directly gave Yang Yunhe the relevant information on black gold, allowing Yang Yunhe to develop the high-energy particle collider based on this. xxs1
"Verify it immediately! Hand this data over to the laboratory for verification!" Professor Parkinson said excitedly, then he led his team directly into the laboratory and began to supervise the laboratory's scientific researchers in manufacturing black gold and conducting relevant tests.
There was no other way. The Jiangnan Group's advantage in electronic technology was too terrifying, and all these advantages were based on black gold. If they could also manufacture black gold in the laboratory, they could directly break Jiangnan Group's technological monopoly.
And according to the information disclosed by the Jiangnan Group itself in meetings, this monster held over $300 billion in cash.
Therefore, Goldman Sachs could also hold a similar amount of cash, but the problem was that Goldman Sachs' cash was obtained through financial means, and this cash did not belong to the Goldman Sachs Group, but to the various investors behind it. Goldman Sachs merely obtained the management rights for this capital.
But now, a company that simply relied on operations could hold trillions in terrifying cash. Wasn't its earning ability surpassing that of financial institutions? This was simply incredible.
However, after detailed investigation, Goldman Sachs had to admit that the Jiangnan Group indeed possessed such earning ability, and undoubtedly, the source of these terrifying funds was the technological monopoly held by the Jiangnan Group.
Ultimately, it all came down to black gold. If they could get their hands on black gold, then with their terrifying network of power, wouldn't they be able to earn even more money than the Jiangnan Group?
In short, black gold must be controlled. This was the consensus of everyone at Goldman Sachs.
Thus, Professor Parkinson spent more than half a month in the laboratory, and all of Goldman Sachs' scientific research strength was dedicated to verifying black gold. Finally, it was proven that Yang Yunhe's data was absolutely correct.
First, scientists at Goldman Sachs also manufactured black gold samples in the laboratory using the tape peeling method. Then, they cross-referenced them with various data in the intelligence for verification, and the results were identical. Some data points were even superior to those in the intelligence.
Finally, especially the verification of the superconducting material mentioned in the intelligence, according to the intelligence, this special material only needed to adjust the structural arrangement of black gold, without even adding any other elements, to directly create a material that could superconduct below minus 40 degrees Celsius, directly crushing all superconducting materials currently on the market.
The prospects for this material, once it hit the market, were unimaginable. And this was just one derivative material of black gold that the Jiangnan Group possessed.
According to the information in the intelligence, the Jiangnan Group had been deeply researching black gold for over 10 years. They possessed at least a four-digit number of effective materials, including the special material required for the quintuple-core chip, and so on.
Good heavens, this information made Professor Parkinson experience sleeplessness for the first time.
