"Vacuum high-speed rail, boss, how is our progress on this thing?" Hao Jianguo asked curiously. He had heard of this vacuum high-speed train. In fact, almost everyone in the world knew that Jiangnan Group was going to do such a thing, but they mostly treated it as a joke and never believed it could actually be done!
"We're halfway through, but some technologies are being bottlenecked. We are communicating with the other party, hoping to obtain the patents for these technologies. If they don't sell, we'll have to bypass these patents. In that case, the company's future funds will have to be invested in the vacuum high-speed rail, and the PT matters can be put aside for now!" Huang He sighed.
"There's such a thing!" Hao Jianguo comforted Huang He for a few words. After hanging up the phone, he directly passed the news to Goldman Sachs.
"Jiangnan Group actually wants to mess with this vacuum high-speed rail!" Seeing the news from Hao Jianguo, the old man couldn't help but mutter to himself in disbelief, and then immediately ordered his subordinates to collect a large amount of related intelligence.
Goldman Sachs' efficiency was very fast. The next day, the relevant materials were delivered.
"Sir, according to our current intelligence analysis, Jiangnan Group is indeed advancing the research and development of vacuum high-speed trains. We have discovered from satellite photos that pipeline construction events are appearing in multiple places in China."
"In addition, there is a force acquiring large quantities of special materials internationally. The usual usage of these special materials is very small, but since the year before last, the procurement volume has been increasing year by year. From the beginning of this year until now, the new procurement volume has reached the total sales volume for the entire year of 2004. Moreover, although the purchasers of these materials are different, they are all eventually shipped to China."
"According to the analysis of our scientific personnel, these materials have extremely strong magneto-electric properties and have great potential for use in maglev train materials!" the secretary said.
"Wait!" The old man interrupted, "Do you mean that our scientists have only analyzed that this material has the potential to be used in the production of vacuum maglev trains, but are not sure of the specific use of this material, is that what you mean?"
"Yes, the mainstream maglev train technology internationally uses another type of material, but this material is not within Jiangnan Group's procurement scope. Therefore, we have reason to believe that Jiangnan Group has gone a long way in vacuum maglev train technology. They have mastered maglev train technology with a new material, so they need to use this special material!" the secretary said.
"This guy is always so unexpected! Can I, in my lifetime, still ride on Jiangnan Group's vacuum high-speed train?" the old man sighed. He was still trying to deal with Jiangnan Group's PT, but he didn't expect Jiangnan Group to have quietly developed vacuum maglev train technology.
"No, we believe that the possibility of seeing vacuum maglev trains within at least 20 years is almost zero!" the secretary shook her head.
"Oh, is there any evidence?"
"Yes, the evidence lies in the patent technologies that Jiangnan Group wants to acquire. According to our investigation, a total of 67 companies in the United States and Europe have received technology acquisition invitations from Jiangnan Group, involving 3,682 different technology patents. Some of these technology patents are related to vacuum maglev trains. Some of them we cannot confirm yet, but we can infer that they are related to vacuum maglev technology. However, a considerable part of them are related to battery technology, which should be used for energy storage for vacuum maglev trains, as vacuum maglev trains can only use electricity for propulsion."
"However, there are also more than 1,000 technology patents that we cannot figure out what they are used for, and they do not seem to be related to maglev trains. These are almost all mechanical patents, not electrical or magnetic energy. Perhaps there is a demand for some mechanical design structures, but we cannot figure out the specifics."
"However, our experts can make strong conjectures. These should currently be the problems encountered by Jiangnan Group in their technological breakthroughs. Based on these patents, Jiangnan Group's vacuum high-speed rail progress should be about one-third. At the same time, their progress has been blocked by these patents. Even if they succeed in the future, if they cannot obtain authorization for these technology patents, their vacuum high-speed train cannot be used. They will have to wait 20 years for these patented technologies to expire. So I say that Jiangnan Group's vacuum high-speed train will not be available until at least 20 years later." The secretary reported in detail.
"Heh heh, the technological barriers that our great nation has spent a century building, these Chinese people can actually break through so casually!" The old man smiled slightly. "Jiangnan Group just wants those technologies, let's give them a part, and let them continue to produce PT for us with peace of mind!"
"But Sir, won't this be too strange? Even if we help Hao Jianguo acquire these patents, will Huang He shift production back to PT? I don't think this is very realistic!" the secretary said.
"What if we also give them Apple's mobile phone design progress schedule?" the old man sneered. "Huang He dares to delay the PT progress because he thinks Apple's progress will not be so fast. But if he knows that Apple's progress is about to catch up, he will definitely accelerate and must snatch the PT release before Apple."
"Moreover, Apple also has many technologies bottlenecked by Huang He. Huang He will definitely take this opportunity to slow down Apple's speed, which is also beneficial to us."
"Then sell all these over 3,000 technology patents to Huang He?" the secretary asked.
"Of course not. If these technology patents are very important for the development of vacuum maglev train technology, then we will never give them to Huang He, and we must keep them in our own hands!"
"This way, you personally represent me to go to Europe and talk to those damned bankers. We can sell those unimportant battery technologies and mechanical technologies to Jiangnan Group. Only for electrical and magnetic energy, especially material technology, can we give Jiangnan a little sweetness. Ten patents at most. As for the remaining patents, you buy them all under the name of Texas Instruments, so that they become patents of our Goldman Sachs Group!" the old man said calmly. Texas Instruments is a company largely controlled by Goldman Sachs. If Texas Instruments possesses these patents, it means these patents are controlled by Goldman Sachs.
"Yes!" The secretary nodded, packed her bags the next day, and flew to Europe as quickly as possible to carry out the mission.
On the other side, in a high-end private hospital in Shanghai, a loud cry echoed throughout the ward.
"Congratulations, Mr. Huang, it's a son!" The nurse quickly brought out a baby, congratulating Huang He with a smile. In the nurse's hands, a dark, wrinkled little infant, as if immersed in water, yawned, looking like it was about to fall asleep at any moment.
"Zhiruo, distribute red envelopes to everyone here, whoever sees it gets one!" Boss Huang waved his hand excitedly, and hundreds of thick red envelopes... no, red blind boxes were all distributed.
Boss Huang didn't need small bags to distribute red envelopes; he directly gave out electroplated red metal blind boxes. And the nurses who couldn't help but be curious opened them immediately and were surprised to find that these red envelope blind boxes were actually five-digit! Later, the hospital staff communicated with each other and found that the lowest red envelope blind box was five digits, and the highest one received a six-digit red envelope blind box. However, this did not include the red envelope blind boxes for the doctors and nurses who delivered the baby. No matter how their colleagues asked, they dared not say. Of course, after receiving Boss Huang's red envelope blind boxes, their mouths were naturally kept shut.
"Dean Zhao, has the baby's umbilical cord blood been preserved?" Leng Zhiruo asked with concern.
"It has been sent for preservation immediately. Please rest assured, there will be no problems!" Dean Zhao quickly replied. Leng Zhiruo nodded with satisfaction.
"Then I'll go and give the baby some check-ups and a hepatitis B vaccine!" After speaking, Dean Zhao hugged the baby and prepared to get busy.
"Wait!" Huang He suddenly called out to Dean Zhao, "Doctor, can the hospital also perform DNA testing and matching?"
"Yes!" Dean Zhao nodded. They were top private hospitals, and they had these technologies.
"Alright, here are my hair samples. In a moment, please also collect the baby's samples and do a gene match to see if the child and I are indeed father and son!" Huang He said.
"Brother-in-law! Don't you believe Sister Hu Jing?" Hearing Huang He's words, Leng Zhiruo looked at Huang He in surprise. She couldn't imagine that Huang He would care about such things at this time.
"No, I am 100% sure this child is mine!" Huang He shook his head, then said, "But I want to set an example and establish a rule for all future Huang family descendants. That is, all future Huang family bloodlines must have their DNA verified immediately after birth, regardless of how loving and trusting the couple are, this step must be carried out. I don't want our Huang family's vast fortune to fall into the hands of some disgusting bastards in the future!"
"Yes!" Leng Zhiruo nodded. Although she still felt that doing so was somewhat inappropriate, thinking that if her family's fortune were to be taken by descendants who were not of her bloodline in the future, Leng Zhiruo also felt extremely uncomfortable, so she stopped talking.
"Alright, you should go back and rest early. I'll go and accompany Hu Jing!" Huang He hesitated for a moment, then said, "I will divorce Hu Jing after she finishes her confinement!" Yes, Boss Huang and Hu Jing were legally married at this time, because without this relationship, Hu Jing's child in her womb could not become Huang He's legal flesh and blood.
