Solving Middle Age Crisis by Intelligence System-Chapter 487 - 302: All Purple Intelligence Points Gathered!

Chapter 487: Chapter 302: All Purple Intelligence Points Gathered!

Once the announcement was made, everyone dispersed.

Qi Yun stood in the yard smoking a cigarette, and after a while, Zhong Rui pulled up in a van at the door.

"Boss, I’ve prepared everything you asked for." Zhong Rui got out of the car, opened the back door, and inside the van were a snakeskin bag filled with fine river sand, a large ceramic jar used in rural areas for storing rice, and two plastic bags.

Qi Yun came to the car door, effortlessly lifted the heavy ceramic jar with one hand, as if it were weightless.

"Move everything to the upstairs balcony," Qi Yun instructed, carrying the ceramic jar upstairs.

The second-floor balcony was quite spacious, about seven or eight square meters, with a sunshade overhead. It usually had a set of tables and chairs, perfect for relaxing with some tea, and it was well-ventilated too.

Qi Yun placed the ceramic jar in the corner, gave it a cursory glance, and then instructed Zhong Rui, who followed him up: "Tomorrow, find someone to weld a protective railing around this corner to secure this jar."

The ceramic jar was, of course, meant to hold that thousand-year-old ginseng. Even though it was in his own home, Qi Yun didn’t feel it was safe enough.

It wasn’t that he feared theft, but mainly because the little girl was at a mischievous age, and if she accidentally broke the jar, it could damage the sealed environment inside.

Zhong Rui put down the snakeskin bag, not quite understanding the boss’s intention but still nodded quickly in response, "Okay, boss."

The two returned inside to wash their hands, and after Zhong Rui had finished reporting on the company’s affairs, he left first.

Qi Yun took out the backpack containing the ginseng from his study and headed to the balcony to start working.

"Why did you get such a big jar?" Zhao Qing, curious, also came to the balcony to peek, with a face mask on.

"Planning to pickle some vegetables for you," Qi Yun replied with a smile.

He didn’t mention the ginseng, not because he didn’t trust Zhao Qing, but because women generally aren’t great at keeping secrets, and she might accidentally spill the beans one day during a conversation.

This legendary medicine, rumored to bring the dead back to life and grant immortality, was too precious, and couldn’t even be measured in terms of money.

The pursuit of immortality has been the ultimate goal for countless people since ancient times, including emperors like Qin Shi Huang and Genghis Khan.

So even if it didn’t possess such exaggerated effects, should the news reach certain interested parties, they’d undoubtedly go to great lengths to acquire it.

And those types of people were beyond Qi Yun’s current capability to contend with...

Thus, no amount of caution regarding this matter would be excessive. If it were a more ruthless person, old Zhao might already have been ready to strike...

However, that doesn’t mean that the thousand-year-old ginseng would only bring trouble. On the contrary, if used wisely, whether consumed personally or brought out at the right time, it could bring unimaginable benefits.

"Pickle vegetables? How come you suddenly want to do that? Need help?" Zhao Qing walked over with a smiling face to ask.

"No need, you go rest in the bedroom." Qi Yun put down the backpack in his hand, turned and scooped Zhao Qing up, carried her to the bedroom without another word, and threw her on the bed. He even specifically reminded her, "Stay put, it’s going to get dusty, don’t come out."

Zhao Qing pouted but didn’t think much of it.

Back on the balcony, Qi Yun lit a cigarette and started working.

...

The next morning, Qi Yun, as usual, practiced with Chen Wei for an hour, then took a shower and began to receive the day’s intelligence. Lately, he’d been caught up with continuous issues, and it had been four or five days since he last checked any intelligence updates.

[Current Intelligence Points: 27]

[Today’s Intelligence 1 (Red): Luca, head of Panasonic’s new energy technology, parted ways with the company a week ago and is currently vacationing on the Yili grasslands. Due to a non-compete agreement, he can’t engage in new energy materials research in the short term and plans to secretly sell a highly confidential material experimental data.]

Luca?

Qi Yun immediately searched online for information on this person, and after a quick glance, found that this person indeed had some weight.

Graduated from Stanford University with a degree in Materials Engineering, studied under Professor Martin, a luminary in the solid-state battery field during his PhD, published several papers in authoritative journals, and remains an industry benchmark.

He worked at Panasonic for eight years, significantly advancing their research on new energy materials, which was most prominently evidenced by their near-monopoly of battery supplies to Tesla’s overseas models, including the extended-range versions in China, which mainly use Panasonic batteries.

It’s said that patent transfer fees alone have earned Panasonic tens of billions.

If he could extract the valuable insights from this person, it might help Tao Ziming’s research progress. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

With that thought, Qi Yun immediately made a call.

"Hello, President Qi."

"How’s the company been lately?" Qi Yun cleared his throat and asked.

He currently holds 51% of Dawn Technology’s shares, making him the principal decision-maker.

However, Qi Yun didn’t meddle in the company’s specific affairs. His biggest strength was having a clear understanding of his capabilities. In areas where he wasn’t skilled, he left it to the professionals and didn’t interfere.

Upon hearing this, Tao Ziming couldn’t help but feel tense, afraid that Qi Yun was dissatisfied with their research progress.

"We just completed an experiment a few days ago, and the data is already very close to our target, rest assured, President Qi, at most..."

After listening to the report, Qi Yun cheerfully explained, "Alright, I just wanted to check on the company’s status and also consult you on something."

Hearing Qi Yun’s relaxed tone, Tao Ziming’s heart eased significantly, and he hurriedly replied, "Of course, President Qi, go ahead."

Qi Yun stood up and went to the window, leisurely asking, "Have you heard of Luca, a technical director from Panasonic?"

"Luca? Of course, I’ve heard of him," Tao Ziming’s voice carried a hint of surprise, "He’s quite a technical expert at Panasonic, very accomplished in the solid-state battery field. I even researched some of his papers when I was in the United States."

"President Qi, why are you suddenly asking about him?"

"Well, a friend told me something..." Qi Yun briefly explained the situation to Tao Ziming, and then continued, "This guy is currently vacationing in Yili. My idea is for you to contact him and see if you can establish some cooperation."

"Moreover, he has a highly confidential materials experimental data that my friend says he plans to secretly sell. Investigate if it’s beneficial for our project; if so, discuss buying it."

"I’ll handle the funding issues."

Upon hearing this, Tao Ziming was overjoyed, his voice full of unrestrained excitement, "Alright, President Qi, I understand!"

"We’re currently stuck on the compatibility issue between cathode materials and electrolytes, having tried over a hundred solutions with no breakthrough. If we can get his assistance..."

After hanging up the call, Qi Yun let out a long breath.

If Dawn Technology’s new materials could be successfully developed soon, he wouldn’t mind investing more money.

[Today’s Intelligence 2 (Purple 6/6): 41°90′262″N, 12°45′403″E]

After many days, a purple intelligence finally appeared again!

Moreover, this was the last of the six locations on the shipwreck map!

Qi Yun immediately opened the map software and tried entering the coordinates. As the screen rotated, the view finally settled on the northwest corner of Rome, Italy, which was the Holy See of the Catholic Church, the smallest country in the world — Vatican.

Looking at the screen’s pop-up prompt on the right, it impressively read "St. Peter’s Basilica."

Though Qi Yun wasn’t well-versed in European history, he’d heard about this largest church in the world.

As the name suggested, St. Peter’s Basilica was built to commemorate Saint Peter, whose Latin name was Peter, and he had another name, Saint Petros.

As Jesus’ foremost disciple and the leader of the twelve apostles, Saint Petros is regarded by many as the first pope in Catholic history.

It is said in his later years, he also pursued immortality, but the ending wasn’t good, as he was persecuted and martyred on the cross.

"I didn’t expect the final clue to be hidden here..."
