How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 652

Yang Chen bid farewell to Yu Liuqing and the others, leaving the court with Yuan Xiaozao.

Having come all this way, Yang Chen naturally wanted to meet Chen Jinhai and Chen Jinying, the siblings in charge of the club.

Yang Chen instructed the customer manager, “Go tell Chen Jinhai and Chen Jinying that Yang Chen is here and wants to see them immediately. I’m going to change clothes now, so have them wait for me here.”

Although the customer manager had never met Yang Chen, he knew that the major shareholder of the Haishang Elite Club was Yang Chen, the boss of the Star Group.

“You’re Mr. Yang! Hello, Mr. Yang, I’ll inform the Chen managers right away!” the customer manager said excitedly, and quickly hurried off to find the Chen siblings.

The siblings, upon hearing that Yang Chen had arrived, rushed over without delay.

At that moment, Wang Xia and Chen Shuang happened to be leaving and bumped into Chen Jinhai and Chen Jinying.

Chen Jinying: “Sister Wang, you’re here. Why didn’t you let me know? I would have come to hang out with you.”

Wang Xia: “Just came over to relax, didn’t want to bother you. Why are you two in such a hurry?”

Chen Jinying: “Our major shareholder is here; we’re going to greet him.”

Wang Xia: “Really? Who is your major shareholder?”

Just then, Yang Chen walked out with Yuan Xiaozao, chatting and laughing.

Chen Jinhai and Chen Jinying quickly stepped forward to greet him.

Chen Jinhai: “Mr. Yang, you’re here.”

Chen Jinying: “Hello, Mr. Yang. What brings you here today? You should have told us so we could have accompanied you.”

Yang Chen: “I decided to come on a whim. Let’s go to your office to chat.”

Chen Jinhai and Chen Jinying quickly and respectfully ushered Yang Chen to their office, flanking him on either side.

Wang Xia was stunned. *So* Yang Chen is the major shareholder of this club. She now realized how foolish her behavior on the court had been. Yang Chen not driving her away was truly merciful.

Chen Shuang: “Boss Yang is so impressive; he’s actually the major shareholder of this club. He’s really a low-key person. He didn’t use his status to kick us out earlier.”

Wang Xia sighed and walked away, head down.

Chen Shuang quickly clung to her like a leech, determined to hold onto this rich woman’s coattails.

Yang Chen arrived at Chen Jinhai’s office. Chen Jinhai and Chen Jinying very attentively brought the club’s operation report, financial statements, and other materials and placed them in front of Yang Chen.

Yang Chen flipped through them roughly and closed the file. Then he asked with a smile, “How is it? How do you feel about the club’s recent development?”

Chen Jinhai: “I think all aspects are developing well. Many customers come because of your name.”

Chen Jinying: “Yes! With Mr. Yang as the major shareholder of our club, we don’t have to worry about the club’s business. The Beijing branch is progressing smoothly and is expected to be completed in April-May next year.”

Yang Chen nodded and said, “That’s good. Be sure to speak up if you have any problems; don’t just report good news.”

Chen Jinhai: “Don’t worry, Mr. Yang, we will immediately ask you for help if we have any problems we can’t solve. We will never hide anything.”

Chen Jinying: “Yes, yes, yes…”

“Well, you guys are busy; we’re leaving. I have very important things to do this afternoon, so I can’t delay.” Yang Chen said with a smile, got up, and left.

Chen Jinhai: “It’s lunchtime; why don’t you have a meal before you leave?”

Yang Chen: “No, I really have something to do this afternoon.”

Chen Jinhai: “Okay, let’s have dinner together when Mr. Yang is free to come over again.”

Yang Chen nodded and left the club.

Since Yang Chen had something to do in the afternoon, Yuan Xiaozao didn’t delay him. The two had a simple lunch and went home.

Yang Chen dropped Yuan Xiaozao off at the entrance of the residential area and then went straight to the Star Scientific Research Base.

When Yang Chen arrived at the Star Scientific Research Base, the controllable nuclear fusion research team from Longke University, led by Song Yutao, had also arrived.

Li Daming, chairman of Star Technology Group, personally received Song Yutao’s team and led them to the materials research branch.

Li Daming handed Song Yutao’s team over to Wang Zhaoxi, the head of the materials department, and then came out to accompany Yang Chen.

Li Daming: “Mr. Yang, are we really going to cooperate with Longke University?”

Yang Chen: “Of course we’re going to cooperate, why not? They have the technology of the ‘artificial sun’ [referring to controllable nuclear fusion], and we have the materials. Our cooperation can turn controllable nuclear fusion into reality as soon as possible, and the opportunity to change human civilization and technological progress will come.”

Li Daming: “That’s true. Now there is another problem. After the scientific research teams of other countries have researched the results, they will announce them for all mankind to verify. Are we going to announce it for all mankind to verify?”

Yang Chen: “We can announce the results, but not how to make them. At that time, we will invite relevant scientific research experts from all over the world in the name of Star Technology Group to come and personally verify whether the existing materials are room-temperature superconducting materials. However, the United States and countries that are friendly to the United States are not allowed to send people.”

Li Daming: “Okay.”

The two were talking when the test had already begun inside.

Yang Chen and Li Daming watched the testing process through the transparent glass wall.

After a few minutes, cheers of surprise erupted from inside.

The members of the Longke University controllable nuclear fusion project team, led by Song Yutao, cheered excitedly and even hugged each other.

Wang Zhaoxi, the head of the Star Technology Materials Research Team, brought Song Yutao to Yang Chen and introduced, “Director Song, this is Mr. Yang Chen, the boss of our Star Technology Group.”

Song Yutao excitedly grabbed Yang Chen’s hands and said, “Mr. Yang, I have admired your name for a long time, and I finally met you today. Last time you went to Longke University as a guest, I didn’t have time to meet you, which I regretted for days. Today, I finally made up for it.”

Yang Chen: “Director Song is too polite. How was the verification just now?”

Song Yutao: “Haha… We have verified that the material has room-temperature superconducting properties and can be used as a material to confine nuclear fusion energy. I just heard Professor Wang say that this technology was contributed by Mr. Yang, and they just tested the physical material according to Mr. Yang’s idea. My admiration for Mr. Yang is like the water of the Yellow River, unstoppable. You see, you can come up with quantum chips, and you can also research quantum entanglement, and now you can come up with room-temperature superconducting materials. Each one is a research result that changes the fate of the country. Throughout the ages, Mr. Yang is truly one of a kind.”

Yang Chen joked: “Didn’t you say that people who do research don’t know how to flatter? I think Director Song is quite good at it. I’m really happy that you flattered me.”

“Haha…” Everyone laughed.

Song Yutao: “This is not flattery, but my true expression. Mr. Yang, how do you want to cooperate?”

Yang Chen: “Let’s go to the office and sit down and talk.”

Wang Zhaoxi quickly took Yang Chen and the three of them to the office, and the group sat down to discuss how to cooperate.

To put it simply, the biggest problem with controllable nuclear fusion is the material of the equipment.

Previously, the research direction of scientists in various countries was to find high-temperature resistant materials, but after years of research, they did not find a material that could withstand temperatures of hundreds of millions of degrees.

Later, everyone turned their attention to magnetic confinement, which is also the most likely successful research direction that humans can currently imagine.

Now that Yang Chen has come up with room-temperature superconducting materials, the problem of magnetic confinement has basically been solved. Next, scientists only need to overcome the problem of continuous atomic fusion reaction to create a safe, reliable, and practical controllable nuclear fusion device.

As early as 2006, Longguo [China] signed the International Thermonuclear Fusion Experimental Reactor (ITER) project agreement with the United States, the European Union, A San [India], Mao Xiong [Russia], the island country [Japan], and Bangzi [South Korea]. It is also because of this agreement that countries are basically sharing the technological achievements of the “artificial sun.”

Therefore, once Yang Chen cooperates with the Longke University controllable nuclear fusion project team, it means that he must share room-temperature superconducting materials with these countries, unless Longguo announces its withdrawal from the ITER agreement.

In an ideal state, Longguo develops controllable nuclear fusion by itself, puts it into use by itself, and doesn’t involve others.

But in reality, this situation is unlikely to occur.

Why?

Because once controllable nuclear fusion is developed, it will directly raise the dimension of human civilization to a higher level. The aerospace motherships, starships, and aerospace bombers in science fiction movies will all become reality.

Other countries cannot allow a single country on Earth to possess such technology. Once this technology is about to become a reality, and this country does not share it, other countries will definitely join forces to destroy this country, so as to prevent it from becoming a higher-dimensional civilization and enslaving other countries in the future.

Yang Chen certainly knows this. He doesn’t really want to hide it for himself but will hand it over to the country to deal with this scientific research result that may either “ascend to heaven in one step” or “go to hell in one step.”

However, he must use this scientific research result to make the United States obediently unfreeze those hundreds of billions of dollars.

Yang Chen: “I know very well that this kind of invention cannot be hidden privately, and the country will never allow it. So I will definitely hand over the technology to the country. But I need Professor Song to cooperate with me in doing one thing. After achieving the goal, I will hand it over to the country.”

Song Yutao: “Mr. Yang, please tell me.”

Yang Chen: “Some time ago, didn’t I mobilize a large amount of US dollars to fight back against Wall Street’s short selling of Long-concept stocks? More than 300 billion US dollars of funds have been frozen by the United States. I want to use room-temperature superconducting materials to make a fuss and make them obediently unfreeze the funds for me. Professor Song only needs to issue an announcement jointly with our Star Technology to prove that our room-temperature superconducting materials are real and that we both intend to cooperate to develop controllable nuclear fusion.”

Song Yutao: “No problem! Mr. Yang’s hard-earned money cannot be frozen by the United States; it must be recovered! I will definitely cooperate with Mr. Yang unconditionally.”

Yang Chen: “Okay. Director Li, please follow up on this matter.”

Li Daming, chairman of Star Technology, nodded and said, “Okay, Mr. Yang, I will communicate well with Professor Song and finalize the announcement as soon as possible.”

Yang Chen nodded, got up, and said, “Then you guys are busy; I’ll leave first.”

Song Yutao and others quickly got up to see Yang Chen off and then immediately went back to discuss how to issue the announcement.

With nothing else to do in Haicheng, Yang Chen planned to return to Beijing tomorrow to move into the Prince Gong’s Mansion.

Before Yang Chen drove out of the Star Scientific Research Base, Princess Maya called him.

Maya: “Brother Chen, do you have time now?”

Yang Chen: “Yes. What’s the matter?”

Maya: “Prince Harvard just came over and told me that His Majesty the King may die at any time. He wants to take the throne as quickly as possible to avoid other princes from taking the opportunity to rebel. But Prince Harvard’s own power is not enough, and he hopes to borrow some people from you.”

Yang Chen: “No problem, I’ll call Mark Tumou, the president of the Jinbai branch of Star Defense, and order him to fully cooperate with Harvard to take the throne.”

Maya: “Okay. Since you are free, can you come and see me? I haven’t seen you for a long time; I really miss you so much. I can’t leave either, and if you don’t come, I feel like there is no hope in life and no motivation at work.”

Yang Chen: “Haha… Really? Are you so depressed?”

Maya: “Even more depressed than I said. Why don’t you come over? You can also attend Prince Harvard’s enthronement ceremony. And with you personally in charge, Prince Harvard should be able to ascend the throne more steadily.”

Yang Chen: “Okay. I’ll go back to Beijing tomorrow and then take the earliest flight over.”

Maya immediately cheered up and said happily, “Then it’s settled; I’ll wait for you to come over.”

Calculating the time, Maya’s brother Lansheed should be dying soon. Yang Chen is going over this time to help her take care of her brother’s funeral; otherwise, it would be quite difficult for her as a girl to handle these things.

Of course, if Yang Chen wants to save Lansheed, he can still save him once and continue to extend his life for another year.

It depends on Lansheed’s attitude towards Yang Chen and Maya. His attitude will determine whether Yang Chen will save him again.

Hanging up the phone, Yang Chen hurried home.

Since he was going back to Beijing tomorrow, he would invite Xue Yinong over for dinner tonight.

More than an hour later, Yang Chen returned to the villa area. He didn’t go home directly but went to Xue Yinong’s house.

“Xiaonong, are you home?” Yang Chen called out at the door.

A few seconds later, Aunt Lan poked her head out on the second floor and replied, “Mr. Yang, Miss went to the company early this morning. Do you need her? I’ll call her and tell her.”

Yang Chen: “I’m going back to Beijing tomorrow; let’s have dinner together tonight.”

Aunt Lan: “Ah, you’re going back to Beijing tomorrow. Then I’ll call Miss now; please wait a moment.”

Aunt Lan quickly called Xue Yinong and said, “Miss, Mr. Yang is here. He said he’s going back to Beijing tomorrow and invited you over for dinner tonight.”

Xue Yinong: “Then I’ll go back now. You prepare dinner now. Shishi is also very busy today; it will be too late when she comes back.”

Aunt Lan: “Okay, I’ll prepare it right away.”

Hanging up the phone, Aunt Lan quickly shouted to Yang Chen, “Mr. Yang, Miss said she’s coming back right away. I’ll prepare dinner now. When Shishi comes back later, you can come over and eat together.”

Yang Chen: “Okay! Then I’ll go back first and come over later. Aunt Lan, thank you.”

Aunt Lan: “Haha… It’s no trouble at all. Mr. Yang, drive safely; see you tonight.”

Yang Chen nodded with a smile and drove home.

Back home, Yang Chen started packing his clothes.

The weather is getting warmer soon, so Yang Chen only needs to bring some spring and summer clothes.

On the other side, Star Technology Group, Longke Academy of Combined City Material Research Institute, and Longke University Controllable Nuclear Fusion Research Team jointly issued an announcement.

The content can be simply summarized in three sentences.

First, the Star Technology Materials Team has researched room-temperature superconducting materials.

Second, Song Yutao’s team has personally verified that room-temperature superconducting materials are indeed real.

Third, Star Technology Group, Longke Academy of Combined City Material Research Institute, and Longke University Controllable Nuclear Fusion Research Team have reached a cooperation intention and will jointly develop controllable nuclear fusion.

Subsequently, Star Technology Group issued another announcement separately.

“After research and decision by Mr. Yang Chen, the major shareholder of the group, our company warmly welcomes room-temperature superconducting researchers from all countries to come and personally verify the authenticity of room-temperature superconducting materials, but this excludes scientific researchers from the United States and countries that are friendly to the United States. Our company will now accept telephone registration for three days and welcomes scientific researchers from all countries to call for registration.”
