Chapter 69

Yang Chen had a super coating? It was just that the topic Qian Mei Yi brought up triggered some of his memories. If Yang Chen remembered correctly, when the Chinese Dao Alliance was setting up the first energy particle collider, they had conducted several small-scale experiments.

During one of these experiments, a researcher had a wild idea and replaced the super T4 alloy collision plate with ceramic material. The ceramic plate instantly turned into powder under the violent impact of the energy particles, and the experiment was declared a failure.

However, during the cleanup process, someone was surprised to find that the ceramic powder was incredibly fine, almost beyond belief.

Thus, after a series of tests and experiments, the world-shocking 'Reconstructive Nano Ceramic Powder' was born! The ceramic crystal structure was restructured under the impact of energy, as if it were reborn!

The crystal length reached an astonishing 9 nanometers, which was dozens of nanometers shorter than the smallest nano ceramic powder in the world at that time!

The birth of this new material completely changed the market landscape of nano ceramic coating technology.

After several generations of development and upgrades, the crystal length of the reconstructive nano ceramic powder was reduced to 3 nanometers, and the coating hardness even exceeded that of diamonds! It was widely used in various fields such as construction, electrical, automotive, kitchenware, and military, and was hailed as the greatest coating material of the 21st century. As the price dropped, its application areas continued to expand!

Although at this stage, Yang Chen could not fully replicate the energy particle collider used by the Chinese Dao Alliance for experiments, manufacturing a few scaled-down versions of the energy particle collider was not a problem.

In the previous life, thanks to the technological lead in the energy particle collider, the Chinese Dao Alliance dominated the field of reconstructive nano ceramic materials for seven years, accumulating a wealth that could be described as terrifying. It wasn't until the European Church developed the second energy particle collider that the monopoly and high-profit era of reconstructive nano ceramic powder came to an end.

Yang Chen vaguely remembered that although the small-scale energy particle collider could not produce ceramic crystals smaller than 10 nanometers, it could definitely achieve a size below 30 nanometers.

This size of nano ceramic powder was the most in demand, had the most moderate price, and was the most widely used in various industries. The top-grade materials, which were only a few nanometers in size, were always monopolized by a few super organizations in the world...

In other words, Yang Chen currently didn't have the ability to replicate the genuine reconstructive nano ceramic powder, but he could play some tricks to create a knockoff version of the reconstructive nano ceramic powder that was popular in the future...

After seeing off Zhao Zeran and others, Yang Chen, who thought of something to do, called Tang Yino directly while there was still some time.

"What? Borrow a metal materials laboratory?" Hearing Yang Chen's words, Tang Yino was somewhat puzzled. "There doesn't seem to be such a laboratory in Jinzhou... When do you need it?"

"The sooner, the better," Yang Chen said. "Try to think of a way and find a solution. It would be best if you could use it tonight."

"...You're giving me a hard time again," Tang Yino, who had just officially taken up the position of assistant general manager of Hengyang Group, couldn't help but laugh bitterly. No matter how she was transferred, she still couldn't escape being dispatched by Yang Chen?

"Try to help me find it," Yang Chen looked at the time and said a bit embarrassedly, "Actually, my mother insisted that I come to accompany her to entertain guests. Otherwise, I could have handled this small matter myself..."

"Stop, stop..." Tang Yino sighed. "I'll try to ask around, but this is completely outside my expertise... I can't guarantee I'll find it, so it's best to ask others for help as well."

"Okay," Yang Chen agreed without hesitation. He didn't plan to let Tang Yino do it alone!

He got into the car, fastened his seatbelt, started the engine, and drove to Jinhu Grand Hotel while making several more calls. These were to some of the rich kids he used to hang out with, who had wide networks and might be able to help him find a suitable laboratory.

Today, Jinhu Grand Hotel was almost entirely booked by Hengyang Group. Colorful flags fluttered at the entrance, and a large inflatable arch stood at the hotel's main gate, with a row of large yellow characters...

"Congratulations on the successful reorganization of Hengyang Pharmaceutical Group!"

Mother Jin Meifeng was dressed in a well-tailored black business suit, with a large red flower pinned to her chest, welcoming guests at the entrance...

When Yang Chen parked his car in the parking lot, it was exactly 9:30 in the morning.

As soon as Jin Meifeng saw Yang Chen walking over from the parking lot, she waved at him, "Come over quickly!"

Without caring whether Yang Chen was willing or not, a similar large red flower was pinned to his chest, and he stood next to Jin Meifeng with a smile, like a groom...

Most of the guests invited to the celebration banquet were suppliers and distributors of Hengyang Group, and some pharmacy store owners had even traveled long distances to Jinzhou. A few particularly outstanding pharmaceutical representatives were also invited.

Including Jinzhou government officials and leaders from various departments in the province, there were over a thousand people in total, and Yang Chen knew no more than fifty of them! This was a great torment for him...

What surprised Yang Chen was that Jin Meifeng seemed to know everyone who walked in, and she could accurately call out their names, or at least address them as 'Director Liu,' 'President Chen,' 'Boss Wang,' etc...

In short, Yang Chen was extremely impressed by her.

Standing at the entrance for a full hour, about seven or eight hundred people entered the hotel.

At this point, Jin Meifeng subtly nudged Yang Chen's elbow and said with a smile, "From now on, the people coming in are all important figures... You can't just say 'welcome, welcome' anymore. That would be very impolite, understand?"

"...Okay," Yang Chen's throat was already dry from saying 'welcome, welcome.' Now he had to add more? He couldn't help but laugh bitterly. This celebration banquet was really tiring, and he suddenly felt a bit envious of his father, Yang Xiuyuan, who was still waiting for the second trial...

A black Honda Crown with a Jinzhou license plate slowly stopped at the hotel entrance. Jin Meifeng glanced at Yang Chen, and he obediently followed her down the steps...

Jinzhou City Party Secretary Ma Wenkang got out of the car with his secretary. Jin Meifeng greeted him with a smile, "Thank you, Secretary Ma, for taking the time to come... Welcome, welcome!"

Yang Chen followed suit, smiling and saying, "Welcome, welcome... Secretary Ma, please come in."

Jin Meifeng subtly rolled her eyes, but Ma Wenkang, accompanied by her, walked toward the hotel entrance and asked with a smile, "I heard that today's celebration banquet is of high规格... Is there any important announcement to be made?"

Hearing this, Jin Meifeng didn't hide it and nodded with a smile, "Our Hengyang Group has reached a strategic cooperation agreement with Yuanbang Pharmaceutical in Beijing. We will announce some related cooperation content at the celebration banquet later..."

"Yuanbang Pharmaceutical?" Ma Wenkang's steps paused, and he raised his eyebrows, asking, "Is that the same Yuanbang Pharmaceutical that is cooperating with Sujiang Group to build a factory?"

As the Party Secretary of Jinzhou, Ma Wenkang oversaw the big picture and couldn't possibly be unaware of where the investment of hundreds of millions came from!

The project of Sujiang Group and Yuanbang Pharmaceutical building a new factory in Jinzhou was personally approved by him! As the Party Secretary, in Ma Wenkang's eyes, both Hengyang Group and Sujiang Group were treasures of Jinzhou, and he had no bias toward either...

Hearing the name of Yuanbang Pharmaceutical from Jin Meifeng, Ma Wenkang felt a bit uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Jin Meifeng was well-prepared and explained with a smile, "The main reason is that our Hengyang Group has an important patent technology. The cooperation between Yuanbang Pharmaceutical and our Hengyang Group does not affect their project with Sujiang Group."

Ma Wenkang breathed a sigh of relief, smiled broadly, and nodded in approval, "That's a good thing."

As they chatted, they escorted Ma Wenkang into the hotel. Jin Meifeng then turned to Yang Chen and said, "Officials are all the same, wanting everything but not willing to take any risks..."

Yang Chen nodded with a smile, not because he wanted to, but because his facial muscles had already formed a habit...

Jin Meifeng used this reorganization opportunity to kick out all the small shareholders who had historical ties with Hengyang Group. It wasn't that she wanted to be ruthless, but when Hengyang Group faced a cash flow crisis last year, these small shareholders had secretly sought out people to take over the company.

During this reorganization, the small shareholders were not shortchanged. Jin Meifeng returned all the money they should have received for their shares.

So, during the celebration banquet, a few small shareholders came together, and Jin Meifeng greeted them with a smile, maintaining proper etiquette.

By around 11:30, there was less than half an hour left before the scheduled start of the banquet.

The number of people arriving gradually decreased, and the mother and son took the opportunity to sit on a sofa and rest.

At the same time, in the headquarters of Sujiang Group, Song Peng'an was raging at Wu Shichun and others...

"What do you mean, he's gone?!" Song Peng'an's face was so dark it almost dripped with water. He slammed his hand on the desk in front of him, the sound so loud it seemed to want to tear off the roof, "Damn it! What did you do?!"

Wu Shichun wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and explained with a bitter smile, "Mr. Song... Everything was fine until around 7 PM last night when I confirmed with him that everything was okay... But this morning when I asked him for the documents, I found that the phone was already disconnected..."

"Damn scoundrel!!" Song Peng'an gritted his teeth and cursed, "You're all a bunch of good-for-nothings! What am I paying you for? To come here and eat for free?!"

Everything had been planned perfectly, and Song Peng'an had already confirmed Zhu Rongqiang's itinerary with Yuanbang Pharmaceutical.

According to the original plan, Song Peng'an should have been at the highway exit, intercepting Zhu Rongqiang and his team from Beijing, using the solid scientific research data and his silver tongue to persuade Zhu Rongqiang to abandon the cooperation with Hengyang Group, turning today's celebration banquet into a complete joke!

But who would have thought that Luo Zhong and the few research assistants who had jumped ship with him had just disappeared!

Last night, he had confirmed that the documents were being organized and would be submitted this morning... and he had run away!

Luo Zhong's escape completely disrupted Song Peng'an's original plan, leaving him at a loss... Especially when Wu Shichun found some torn documents in the trash at Luo Zhong's residence, and after reassembling them, they turned out to be nonsense, Song Peng'an felt a deep sense of humiliation, as if he had been slapped in the face!

He even believed that Luo Zhong's defection and the theft of the laboratory documents were all part of a trap set by Jin Meifeng, a pit she had dug in advance, waiting for him to fall into it!

Raging and cursing could not change the current situation... A few minutes later, Song Peng'an slumped back into his chair, rubbing his temples and asked, "Think of a way, we can't just give up..."

Wu Shichun smiled awkwardly and cautiously reminded, "It might be too late..."

"What do you mean?"

"The time has come, I'm sure Zhu Lao and his team have already arrived at Jinhu Grand Hotel..."

"Damn it! Send people to find Luo Zhong immediately!" Song Peng'an stood up with a grim face and growled, "I'll make him regret ever being born! Bastard... How dare you play me?!!"
