Translator:EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor:EndlessFantasy Translation
Wang Jiang heard the order on the other end of the phone, his face darkened. Then, he asked, “Who are they?”
However, his words were destined to be unanswered. After a moment, the call was hung up.
Wang Jiang held his phone and listened to the “Beep... Beep... Beep...” on the other end of the line. Then his expression was gloomy.
After a while, he put down his phone and called another number.
“Du... Du... Du...”
The phone kept on ringing, until 10 seconds later, he heard a woman’s voice.
“Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable.”
Wang Jiang was rendered speechless.
The person whom he was calling at that moment was the friend he had asked for help.
However... It would seem that that friend was under control as well.
Obviously, that person was a man of no simple status for him to be able to become Wang Jiang’s friend. Yet, he still got controlled in the end. Thus, this made Wang Jiang’s heart shiver, and he could not help but begin to suspect...
‘Could it be because I’m looking into Su Yang?
‘Is Su Yang that important?
‘That shouldn’t be true.’
With that thought, he picked up his phone again. After some thought, he called Ying Tianhou.
Wang Jiang felt that Ying Tianhou, who was one of the top big shots in Shanghai, should have a lot of information.
This time, the phone rang twice before it connected. Wang Jiang smiled and said, “Old Ying, It’s Wang Jiang. There’s something I would like to ask.”
Ying Tianhou’s voice came from the other end of the phone. “It’s you, Old Wang. Go on, tell me.”
Hence, Wang Jiang said, “My men seem to have been captured. Do you have any idea what’s happening?”
Ying Tianhou did not seem to have received any news at all. He said in surprise, “Captured? Why?”
Wang Jiang felt that Ying Tianhou was not faking it based on his tone, so he hesitated for a moment before saying, “I’m not sure either. When I was on the phone with my man a moment ago, someone suddenly rushed in and told him to put down the phone. Then, they overpowered him.”
Ying Tianhou asked curiously, “Is this the group of experts who are investigating your son?”
Wang Jiang said, “Yes.”
Ying Tian was kind. “That shouldn’t be happening... Why would anyone capture them?
“How about this, Old Wang? Give me a moment to make a few phone calls, and I’ll come back to you after I’ve asked them.”
Wang Jiang nodded and agreed. “Alright, thank you.”
After hanging up, Wang Jiang’s face slowly darkened. He leaned against the chair and knocked on the table once... Twice... Thrice...
After a moment, he stood up, picked up his phone again, and made a call in a respectful manner...
When Wang Jiang made the call, Ying Tianhou hung up. He looked at the few people in the office and smiled. “It’s Wang Jiang.”
At that moment, there were seven people in the office, where Ying Tianhou did not sit in the main seat but on the left seat next to the main seat. Hence, from the looks of it, he was ranked second in that office, so it would mean that everyone in that office were the most impressive big shots in Shanghai...
The moment he finished speaking, a big shot sitting opposite him smiled and said, “Is he here to probe you for information?”
Ying Tianhou let out a soft snort. “Probe me for information? Does he have any idea what he’s done earlier? Why didn’t he probe whether he could conduct the investigation before he broke the rules and went against our backs secretly?”
The person opposite him continued to smile. “After all, he’s from the Wangs, so there’s no need for him to worry so much.”
When Ying Tianhou heard about the Wangs, his expression turned ugly. However, he still said, “This is Shanghai, not the Wangs’ territory in Zhejiang Province.”
Perhaps the two of them had talked too much. The old man who sat on the main seat slammed the table. “Enough.”
The moment the old man said that, Ying Tianhou and the big shot stopped talking, while the eyes of the other people in the office turned serious.
The old man’s hair was white, and he was wearing a Chinese tunic suit, making him look very dignified and intimidating. As he sat there, he had a presence that could suppress everything.
If Jiang Yan was there, she would be able to recognize that this old man was the person who went to Old Master Jiang’s villa that day...
The old man looked at Ying Tianhou and the other big shot and said, “Wang Jiang has indeed crossed the line. Jiadian Group is under Old Master Jiang’s protection, which is a confidential matter that the country has decided upon.
“Especially since a few countries have officially asked and requested us to pay attention to Jiadian Group, the entire world has eyes on the company right now.
“Just now, the country has listed Jiadian Group as one of the keys to our country’s great revival. So, they want us to do everything we can to facilitate and protect their stability and safety.
“On the other hand, Wang Jiang did not ask for permission, nor did he apply for anything for that matter. Yet, he rashly went ahead to conduct his investigation, which is against the rules. Hence, he has already crossed the line.
“The security bureau has already captured all of his men and will conduct a thorough investigation before they deal with them as they see fit.”
Everyone nodded slightly.
Actually, everyone present knew that Wang Jiang and Su Yang were competing for time.
It was true that Su Yang’s Jiadian Group had shocked the world, and that it was also the key to the country’s revival.
However, the country was a whole, where there were people beneath it.
When Wang Jiang’s son went missing for the past few days, all the big shots in Shanghai knew very well that Su Yang was the biggest suspect. Coupled with Wang Jiang’s identity and the Wangs’ status as a whole, the people within the entertainment circle were actually sympathetic towards Wang Jiang’s incident.
Coincidentally, Jiadian Group had just attracted the attention of various countries around the world, so their intentions had yet been expressed. At the same time, the country’s intentions towards Jiadian Group were brewing as well.
Therefore, without a clear restriction order, everyone ended up turning a blind eye to Wang Jiang using his personal connections to investigate Jiadian Group.
If Wang Jiang found out about Su Yang’s trickery first and found some evidence, then these big shots would most likely stand on Wang Jiang’s side and bring Su Yang to justice. When that happens, everyone would devour Jiadian Group together.
However, if the foreign countries made their intentions clear first, then Jiadian Group would become completely immune, where no one would be able to touch him anymore, not even Wang Jiang.
This was the bigger picture.
Hence, for the greater good, the only thing Wang Jiang could do was to give in...
At the Wangs in Hangzhou...
After Wang Jiang finished his phone call, his eyes were red as he slammed the phone on the floor. This was because he had called the big shot who was on good terms with the Wangs in Zhongdu, but received the same answer.
At that moment, Wang Jiang knew that he could not touch Su Yang anymore.
Even if Wang Jiang was from the Wangs in Zhejiang, he could not touch Su Yang!
In the past, whenever he encountered a problem, he would be the greater good. However, he did not expect that there would come the day where he would become a speck of dust in the face of the greater good.
Hence, he clenched his fists in anger, his eyes turned extremely fierce and filled with hatred...
The next day, when Su Yang woke up, he realized that the situation seemed to have changed overnight. The crisis in his heart seemed to have lessened, and the public opinion on the internet started to change strangely.
Initially, the internet was filled with requests for Su Yang to share the technology with the larger manufacturers to develop his glass phones.
However, at that moment... Be it locally or overseas, they were all praising Jiadian Mobile and felt that it was a product that could lead the development of the entire cellphone industry.
Other than that, at 8 am in the morning, all the cellphone manufacturers also expressed their goodwill to Jiadian Group. Many people had either called Su Yang or used their public accounts to @ Jiadian Group’s official Weibo account, saying that they hoped to be able to collaborate with Jiadian Group to develop cellphones together.
In fact, Su Yang could choose not to share his technology but only his finished products. Furthermore, they were willing to buy it at a sky high price that Su Yang would be satisfied with.
These companies included the Chinese companies such as Huawei, Xiaomi, Vivo and Oppo, as well as Apple and Samsung, who were overseas giants.
Meanwhile, some of the second-tier cell phone brands in the country were even more ruthless. When they were looking for Jiadian Group to collaborate with, they even suggested that if Su Yang was not willing to provide them with the finished products, they would be content with... A brandless phone.
This meant that Su Yang would sell them Jiadian Mobile’s glass phone, while they would slap on their own logo, change the phone’s interface and claim that it was their phone...
In fact, this would mean that Jiadian Mobile would convert from being a glass phone manufacturer to a sales channel...
Obviously, these competitors had their own source of information from the relevant departments in each country. Therefore, last night, they had found out about what various countries thought of Jiadian Mobile’s glass phones.
As expected, at 10am, several powerful countries, led by America, held a press conference. The main topic was, of course, Jiadian Group.
America’s spokesperson expressed his opinion at the conference, praising the contribution that Jiadian Group had made to human society and the help that the company had provided to their future.
Furthermore, the spokesperson mentioned that they would like to welcome Jiadian Group’s products to be sold in America. They also wanted to welcome Jiadian Group to work together with their local companies in a mutually beneficial relationship.
With the declaration from the most powerful country on Earth, their allies followed suit, expressing their welcome to Jiadian Group and their desire to contribute to mankind. They also invited Jiadian Group to their country to cooperate with them.
After these powerful countries finished their speech, the other less powerful countries, who had nothing to object to, all expressed their opinions.
Thus, within a short period of time, this was akin to a global advertisement for Jiadian Group. In just one day, so many countries had expressed their views on Jiadian Group, and the effect was already very sensational.
The people who did not know about Jiadian Group all went to find out what they were doing and what they had done.
On the other hand, those who knew about Jiadian Group all doubted themselves. ‘What the heck? I knew that Jiadian Group is amazing, but is it that amazing?’
Actually, it really was not that amazing...
The reason why all the countries acted as if they were having a meeting was mostly because of Su Yang’s profitable contributions and... Crowd effects.
Initially, Su Yang had only asked the people the Clown Sea Serpent’s had bribed to try their best to have a few powerful countries hold a temporary press conference that morning. In the end, he did not expect that the other countries had already come to the same consensus. Hence, now that they saw these powerful countries holding a press conference together, they decided to hold a press conference as well.
Therefore, over the course of the day, the attitude of dozens of countries regarding Jiadian Group shocked the world.
Even the people from powerful countries felt that something was wrong...
‘Isn’t this all done within such a short interval?’
By then, the internet was already in an uproar, filled with how those countries had expressed their intentions toward Su Yang.
There were people who said that because so many countries had “agreed” to make a statement, it seemed as if it was all premeditated and was suspected to be a smokescreen?
However, companies were more concerned about the fact that Jiadian Group had such a huge influence internationally.
In fact, even China was shocked. ‘Are you serious? So many other countries have held press conferences just because of a single company? Have we been underestimating Jiadian Group? Should we put more importance into this company?
‘Whatever the situation is, Jiadian Group has become famous.’
On the other hand, many questions and analysis were being raised regarding this matter.
For example, many people were curious if America really be a beacon of freedom in Western countries? Were they actually able to treat a company that has such advanced technology as Jiadian Group with equal respect?
Then, someone replied with a bunch of comments, mostly praising America and other Western countries whilst belittling China.
There were also people who analyzed the situation and said that the relationships between the countries were quite close, so this was normal.
Actually, these were all nonsense.
However, one analysis pointed out the key problem, where the technology displayed by Jiadian Group might not have attracted enough attention yet.
Initially, this person’s analysis made everyone scoff, thinking that he was bullsh*tting.
‘Wouldn’t the powerful countries be absolute idiots if they aren’t putting great importance to a company with so much black technology?’
However, the person analyzed the situation seriously.
For example, he said that even though Su Yang’s artificial intelligence was advanced, the AlphaGo in America was not inferior to them.
Furthermore, Su Yang’s so-called quantum computer was indeed 600 billion times faster than the current quantum computer. However, it was only comparable to the supercomputer groups of a few powerful countries, plus it was unstable in comparison.
Moreover, although Su Yang’s glass phone displayed several technologies, including its batteries, glass screens, bone-conduction earphones, scanning technology, and so on...
These were all just technology on an application level, not core-level.
In other words, even though these technologies were amazing, they would not affect the next generation’s technological change.
Since the 18th century, humans have experienced three industrial changes.
One of the three world-changing technological hits began in England, while the other two were in America, whose direct results created 300 years of hegemony in England and America’s current global dominance.
After the era of steam machines, came the era of electricity, and the era of informationization, scientists from all countries predicted that the fourth industrial change would be the era of intelligence, where it would be a combination of the Internet of Things and Intelligence, with 5G as its key.
Moreover, there were close to 3,000 patents involving 5G technology, including Gallium nitride NHP50 base station technology, 5G terminal radiofrequency devices under 6GHz, and so on.
In the end, these technologies would become a 5G standard dispute between powerful countries.
Hence whoever that won would be able to rule the intelligence era.
Therefore, in this era, the breakthroughs in the subsidiary technologies of Jiadian Group were tolerable.
After all, no matter how awesome a cellphone was, it still needed a 5G network.
That person even gave an example. If Su Yang’s breakthrough was not about batteries, screens, and other relevant technologies, but chips, telecommunications, and so on, these powerful countries would not have let him off so easily.
Furthermore, this post had given a proper explanation why the various countries decided not to ban Su Yang after a long discussion.
However, Su Yang was completely confused after reading this post.
‘5G?.
‘Signal?
‘Why would my glass phone need these outdated base station signals?’
