Chapter 628 (2/2)

“Who knew that the Magnificent Tang Corporation set up by Tang Xiu would rise like this today at that time, though?” Zhao Jing nodded. “Anyways, let’s just forget it for now, shall we? I want something joyful and happy since it’s a big New Year celebration now. We’ll think about what we must do later! I believe that becoming rich doesn’t rely on climbing up other’s business, but an investment.”

“En. Let’s put it off first and talk again after we meet Tang Xiu.” Yuan Zhengxuan silently nodded.

Half an hour later, Tang Xiu was already sitting in front of Yuan Zhengxuan. After seeing his listless expression, Tang Xiu smilingly said, “Uncle Yuan, if you have something in mind please speak it out. We’re not strangers, to begin with.”

“Since you speak like that, then I won’t beat around the bush, Tang Xiu,” said Yuan Zhengxuan. “The reason I sent Ling’er to find you this time is actually that I wanted to ask whether you have any good projects to invest into. I mentioned to you before that I wanted to transform my business to avoid myself being eyed by those forces from abroad.”

“How much capital do you have in hand now, Uncle Yuan?” Asked Tang Xiu.

“The military has not yet given me the latest installment for the latest product. It will be transferred to my account in April next year as per the agreement. If that is to be added up, I should have around 5 to 6 billion yuan.”

Tang Xiu asked, “Uncle Yuan, the researchers in your lab should be experts in researching tech engineering, right? I’m going to speak out my mind through analogy here. If I have some ideas to research some type of products, which I have its specific details of the ideas in mind, will they be able to research the products according to my conception?”

“The specific direction for the research target must be crystal clear first, or maybe you can make an example for them,” said Yuan Zhengxuan.

“It’s a Magnetic Levitation Flying Disk,” said Tang Xiu.

“What object is this?” Asked Yuan Zhengxuan, puzzled.

“It’s a transportation vehicle, to be exact. For example, if a person stands on this Magnetic Levitation Flying Disk, they can control it to fly freely and it can guarantee that they won’t fall or be thrown during the flight. Speaking about it, it’s a bit similar with the induction mechanism on cars, except that the induction on a car runs on the ground, whereas the Magnetic Levitation Flying Disk flies in the sky.”

Yuan Zhengxuan wore a queer expression as he looked at Tang Xiu. He shook his head and forced a smile as he said, “This idea of yours sounds like indulging yourself in fantasy. If such an object does exist in the world, it would have created a huge sensation. The most notable thing about it is that whoever is able to research it will probably have the eyes of every force in the world set on them. And those forces will definitely resort to all means to rob it.”

“Why is that?” Tang Xiu was puzzled.

“Possessing science and technology is tantamount to grasping power,” said Yuan Zhengxuan. “If such Magnetic Levitation Flying Disk were to be used by the military, or so to say, to use the core technology contained in the Magnetic Levitation Flying Disk after disassembling it, it will be very easy to develop other weapons. In due course, how much chance of success do you think the result of its research and development will be?”

Tang Xiu fell into silence. He admitted that he only considered how to make money with this Magnetic Levitation Flying Disk but overlooked such possibility. Now, after Yuan Zhengxuan’s reminder, he couldn’t help but turn vigilant.

Yuan Zhengxuan sighed, “Furthermore, even if this Magnetic Levitation Flying Disk was able to be researched and sold well like it was some high-end product, what about the safety factor of the product? You may be able to guarantee that this stuff is able to take a person flying in the air, but have you ever thought about the fact that there are no definite road or path in the air? How terrible would it be if the riders collide with each other?”

Tang Xiu shook his head and said, “As I said, I can solve the issue with safety measures.”

After being silent for a moment, Yuan Zhengxuan then said with a serious expression, “There are two safety measures. As long as you achieve these two, you can try to research and develop it.”

“What safety measures?” Asked Tang Xiu with a moving expression.

“One is the possibility of the technology being stolen and robbed, which is related to the importance of having armed forces guarding it,” answered Yuan Zhengxuan.

“Supposing that I become enemies with the major forces in the world, I can hardly guarantee that I can prevent the possibility of the tech getting stolen. But…” said Tang Xiu.

“But what?” Asked Yuan Zhengxuan.

“Give me two or three years of time,” said Tang Xiu with all seriousness. “I’m sure that I can achieve these two aspects within this span of time.”

Yuan Zhengxuan’s expression was as though he was seeing a monster. He shook his head and said, “Don’t joke with me. You indeed have achieved great things, but you are simply oblivious to the horror of the power possessed by those major forces in the world. Let’s forget this and put this matter off for the time being. We’ll talk about this some other time!”

Tang Xiu suddenly asked, “Uncle Yuan, since you’re going to reform your business, what about the researchers in your research institute? What are they gonna do? Are you going to dismiss them?”

“This is exactly why I got a headache!” Yuan Zhengxuan smiled bitterly. “I want to dismiss them, but they have been following me for more than a dozen years, so I can’t make up my mind about this! I’m currently carefully thinking about it before taking any action! So I’m keeping them for the time being.”

Tang Xiu’s eyes lit up and he smilingly said, “How about we make a deal, Uncle Yuan? I want to find capable researchers to help me research this Magnetic Levitation Flying Disk. Since you already have the ready-made personnel, so I’m just going to pay you an amount of money. How about transferring them to me?”

“Do you really want to try it?” Asked Yuan Zhengxuan, surprised.

“Yeah!” Said Tang Xiu with a smile.
