Chapter 43 Would you dare bet 1 in 10,000?
"It shouldn't be that serious, right?" Yu Yang stammered, his eyes darting around as he looked up at the head of the business manager.
The firecrackers on May 5.8th will continue to go off until next month.
This is going too far.
Hearing Yu Yang's hesitant voice, the business manager slapped his thigh in anxiety, went around to Yu Yang's side, and earnestly advised him:
"My big manager, if they're communicating outside their booth."
"That has nothing to do with us."
"But they just happened to display it on their booth, and quite a few people already know about it."
"Since we know this, we have a management responsibility, and we must track it down."
"We need to know who interacted with them, who had ideas about their technology, and who they ultimately sold it to."
"We need to figure this out!"
"Otherwise, once the higher-ups investigate, a single word from the leader will leave us running errands again."
"If we're the ones running the errands, that's fine. But what if it's not us running the errands, but Wei Long in a raincoat? In that case, we'll probably only get 5.8 peanuts."
The business manager's words effectively shut Yu Yang up, leaving him speechless.
The international situation has been very chaotic in the past two years, and the country has introduced a large number of restrictive measures on various technology exports.
Especially in the fields of energy and weaponry.
As for whether this so-called metallic hydrogen will be used for energy or weapons in the future, he doesn't know for sure.
But he was well aware of the enormous mess that the emergence of such a technology would create for the current chaotic international situation.
If the higher-ups knew that such a technology appeared at the booth he was in charge of, and that the cooperation was reached through him, and then appeared overseas...
He can at least get one peanut worth 5.8.
One is enough.
As for gambling on the worst-case scenario, he dared not gamble. He was not afraid of the odds, but he was afraid of the worst-case scenario.
After rubbing his temples, Yu Yang instructed the business manager:
"Go to the monitoring room and adjust the surveillance so that all the cameras around booth 134 are pointed at booth 134. I need to know how many people have been to booth 134 and how many people have expressed interest in visiting it."
"I'll contact the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics and the National Security Bureau."
"As for what happens off the field, we don't need to worry about that; it's not our responsibility."
Upon receiving the assignment, the business manager turned and left. He had worked hard to climb to his current position, and he didn't want to accept a meager salary.
After closing the office door, Yu Yang picked up the phone, found the Security Bureau number he had previously contacted, and dialed it.
When the call connected, he explained the situation, and the person on the other end immediately laughed. Amidst the laughter, the person replied:
"You don't need to be so worried. Let's assume it's really metallic hydrogen."
"Then the next questions are: what are the prices of the raw materials for manufacturing this thing? Is there enough electricity to manufacture it? Are there factories that can manufacture it? Will the waste from manufacturing this thing cause pollution?"
"It's not that I'm arrogant, but that Europe and America have lost the ability to produce certain special raw materials on a large scale."
"At most, they can only publish a few papers."
"Don't worry, I'll record it accurately and then send someone over to check it out."
In short, it's better to be safe than sorry.
Hearing this from the Secret Service, Yu Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief and, amidst a series of troublesome sounds, hung up the phone with the Secret Service.
After a moment's thought, he was about to call his superior, but the moment he pressed the number, he quickly hung up.
What if?
Calling the Bureau of Secrecy is a sign of your own caution, but if it turns out to be fake, calling your superiors would just be causing them trouble.
As a qualified subordinate, you need to find out the situation first before reporting to your leader. You need to provide a cause and effect, and not just believe everything you hear.
After clarifying his thoughts, Yu Yang picked up the phone on the table, turned around, and walked out of the office toward the exhibition hall.
He wants to see it with his own eyes!
As he approached the booth, he suddenly remembered that Lin Man had seen him before, and that if he went over there rashly, he would definitely attract the attention of others.
He paused at the door for a moment, then turned and walked towards the staff break room.
Yu Yang went into the staff break room, found an employee of similar build, changed his clothes, put on a hat, and then walked back to the exhibition hall.
As soon as he entered the exhibition hall, he keenly noticed that the flow of people was converging in one direction. Recalling the layout of the exhibition hall, he realized that the direction in which the crowd was converging was precisely the corner where booth number 134 was located.
Noticing that there were too many people, he simply left the exhibition hall and went around through the staff entrance.
After wandering around for a while, Yu Yang emerged from the employee passage next to booth number 134.
He was surrounded by people; booth number 134 was completely packed. He looked up and noticed the surveillance cameras above him, which had been angled toward booth number 134. Only then did the anger in his heart ease slightly.
After observing for several tens of seconds, he moved a little closer to booth number 134, close to the wall, so that he could hear more clearly.
"Sir, our column is called Financial Daily. As we all know, due to the conflict in the Middle East, international oil prices have been rising again and again, and the corresponding new energy sector has also been rising. I would like to ask you, what other intention do you have in releasing this new battery at this time? For example...?"
"Sir, please ignore this troublemaker. I just want to know if your company plans to go public. If not, are you interested in accepting investment? If you're not interested in investment either, I'd like to know if you're interested in purchasing equipment, or if you're interested in finding franchisees."
"It's fake, fake, all fake. There are wires underneath this battery..."
"Such a high-density battery is impossible in the world, nor is metallic hydrogen. This guy is just trying to manipulate the stock market!"
"Are you out of your mind? You need to actually own stocks to buy them."
"He's buying up new energy stocks!"
"So you really don't take the China Securities Regulatory Commission seriously!"
"China Securities Regulatory Commission..."
"He must have used magic, only magic..."
After listening for about ten minutes, he noticed that the people surrounding the booth were divided into three groups.
One group is the negative group. They don't believe that the items at booth 134 are genuine. They think that the people at booth 134 are taking advantage of the current international turmoil to artificially inflate the price of new energy stocks and then fleece the investors.
One group consists of believers who believe that there has been a technological breakthrough and that the items at booth 134 are genuine.
They believe their laser defense system can melt a 5-millimeter-thick steel plate in 5 seconds at a distance of 5 kilometers.
Believe it's metallic hydrogen, believe in the battery.
As for the last faction, they are two-faced.
We must strike hard against double-dealers.
Having made up his mind, Yu Yang called over the security personnel and asked them to deal with those two-faced people, while he himself carefully searched for Lin Man's whereabouts.
Unfortunately, he couldn't find Lin Man. He only found the legal counsel who had dealt with them a few days ago and handled the young master's business.
The other party is on the phone.
