Chapter 762: The Tip of the Iceberg in Research
by xennovelXu Shaochen finished speaking.
He didn’t receive the expected cheers.
Instead everyone looked at him calmly.
They all thought he was bluffing. Did he really think anyone could just produce hundreds of billions or thousands of billions?
They thought it was Hell Money.
Xu Shaochen was stunned at first then realized poverty had limited their imagination.
“I’m the young director of Xu Corporation. Do you still think my words are unbelievable?” Xu Shaochen said looking at everyone.
Xu Shaochen looked at everyone and said.
“Really?”
Everyone’s eyes lit up. Xu Corporation everyone knew this company.
The most popular saying in their industry was related to Xu Corporation.
That is the happiest thing in life is to conduct project research with the support of Xu Corporation.
Because even a three-year-old child knows Xu Corporation doesn’t lack money.
“It’s genuine. Besides do you think an ordinary person could handle Xiao Huang?” Xu Shaochen asked rhetorically.
Xu Shaochen asked in return.
No one spoke because everyone knew Xiao Huang valued this laboratory highly.
If Xiao Huang hadn’t been dealt with Xu Shaochen wouldn’t have known about this place.
And someone who could handle Xiao Huang was certainly not an ordinary person.
So Xu Shaochen had no reason to deceive them.
“How far has the experiment progressed? I want to hear the truth not the excuses you use to scam research funds.”
Xu Shaochen knew that to obtain research funds these guys most often said: We’ve made a major breakthrough and will have results soon.
Hearing this the middle-aged man felt a bit embarrassed because he often asked Xiao Huang for research funds this way.
Of course after researching for so many years it’s impossible they hadn’t made any breakthroughs but the effects might be very small.
The middle-aged man licked his dry lips and said “Young Master Xu through our research we’ve found that this jade is beneficial to the human body and can treat some diseases that modern medicine is powerless against.”
“What else?” Xu Shaochen’s eyes brightened. This point alone was already exciting to him.
What’s the most profitable thing to sell?
Of course selling medicine is the most profitable!
No one haggles over the price of medicine and if some medicines are too cheap people might not trust them.
The middle-aged man said with an unpleasant expression “Also while the substance extracted from this jade can cure diseases it also has great uncertainty.”
“What do you mean?” Xu Shaochen raised an eyebrow.
The middle-aged man didn’t answer but said “Young Master Xu please come this way.”
Moments later Xu Shaochen followed the middle-aged man to a room filled with various animals.
Xu Shaochen saw a mouse that even he found frightening.
This is nonsense if you ever saw a mouse nearly a meter long you’d certainly be scared too.
“This is the uncertainty. It causes mutations. This was originally a lab mouse used for experiments but now it’s grown to this size.”
“Not only has its appearance changed but its intelligence has also increased becoming very aggressive.”
The middle-aged man pointed at the nearly meter-long white mouse and explained to Xu Shaochen.
Xu Shaochen swallowed hard. Damn even knowing it could cure diseases he wouldn’t dare use it.
Because who could guarantee what a person might turn into?
“Mr. Xu this is just the tip of the iceberg. There are many substances in this jade that we haven’t fully researched yet.”
As the middle-aged man spoke he became increasingly excited. Once the research made a major breakthrough these researchers would certainly go down in history.
“Pause the research for now. I’ve bought an island abroad and I’ll build the world’s most advanced laboratory there.”
“You’ll go there to focus on research. You don’t need to worry about funding.”
“But one thing not a word about anything related to the jade can be leaked.”
As he said the last sentence Xu Shaochen’s face turned cold almost openly threatening.
The middle-aged man shivered and quickly said resolutely “Rest assured Mr. Xu we know the importance. For so many years we haven’t leaked a single punctuation mark about what’s happening here.”
Xiao Huang had threatened them the same way back then.
Now not to mention Xu Shaochen Xu Shaochen was much more formidable than Xiao Huang.
Moreover Xu Shaochen was willing to invest huge sums in this project they couldn’t be happier.
Xu Shaochen began to transfer and backup important data and documents from this laboratory overnight.
These were all extremely important things.
If lost all previous research would go to waste.
………..
Xu Shaochen was emptying Xiao Huang’s laboratory.
At this time the Xiao Family was also facing unprecedented difficulties.
Sheng Qin Group was launching commercial attacks on the Xiao Family from multiple angles.
Chen Family Chen Ju went back to explain Xu Shaochen’s requirements and as expected faced opposition.
But in the end Old Master Chen’s one word overruled the majority and supported Xu Shaochen.
Chen began to politically snipe at the Xiao Family striking at the Xiao Family’s public disciples.
Overnight various problems were uncovered in the Xiao Family faction even digging up old dirt.
Deng Tianwen’s people were also keeping an eye on the Xiao Family’s people intimidating and injuring them then voluntarily surrendering themselves.
The Xiao Family was now in a state of panic.
The living room of the Xiao Family was terrifyingly quiet.
Xiao Li’s face was gloomy his brows tightly furrowed into a deep frown.
After a while he finally spoke in a hoarse voice “Let’s all speak up what should we do next?”
It was already two in the morning but no one in the Xiao Family was resting. As bad news came one after another the atmosphere within the Xiao Family had dropped to freezing point.
Xiao Li still didn’t know the news that his youngest son Xiao Huang had died otherwise he would probably have coughed up blood in anger.
“Big Brother let’s surrender. Cut our losses otherwise the Xiao Family will truly be finished.”
“Yes Big Brother just got a call your nephew Xiao Quan was caught for embezzlement and taken from home. He’s my only son.”
“And my son too just as the company was starting to improve several big contracts were suddenly unilaterally torn up. All the funds were tied up it’s over.”
“Uncle and those shooters outside they don’t kill but they intimidate. Now everyone’s in a panic.”
Everyone strongly urged to bow down and admit defeat to stop losses as soon as possible even if it meant paying some compensation.
These were the same people who were initially clamoring to fight Xu Shaochen to the death.
When life wasn’t in danger of course face was important.
But now living gloriously was more important.
Otherwise when the nest is overturned how can the eggs remain unbroken? Once the Xiao Family falls their good days will be over too.
Admitting defeat now would at least preserve some strength.
How can this be called cowardice?
This is called being wise to the times. As long as the green hills remain one need not worry about firewood.
