Chapter 488 -490 Roll Out

“You must be crazed with the desire for money,” a middle-aged man snorted coldly.

Qin Hao looked at the middle-aged man, “And you are?”

Zhang Xiuji spoke up, “I’m the office director of the Earthquake Bureau, Zhang Xiuji.”

Qin Hao scoffed, “So, Mr. Zhang, how much do you plan to pay, and how much do you think it’s worth?”

Zhang Xiuji: “This isn’t something that can be measured in money. This is a tremendous benefit for all the people of Xuan Country.

...

Mr. Qin, do you think you should be charging money for such a thing? Do you really want to make money even from your own compatriots?”

Qin Hao: “Don’t think I don’t know what you’re scheming in your heart, Mr. Zhang. Isn’t it just to take it back and claim it as your own?

And you’re also planning to take away the research technology of the seismograph, aren’t you?”

Zhang Xiuji: “This technology, which benefits all of humanity, I think Mr. Qin should hand it over.

We will dedicate ourselves to the research of the seismograph, after all, we are the experts, and perhaps we could improve on your technology.

Mr. Qin, rest assured, we will definitely announce to the public that this technology was researched and developed by you, we are just refining the study.”

Han Le’an felt somewhat repulsed by Zhang Xiuji on the side; he was being too shameless, and these people were not that familiar to him.

Reporting to the higher-ups at the beginning was to let them be aware of the matter.

But Han Le’an hadn’t expected Zhang Xiuji and the others to have such intentions.

Zhang Xiuji and his people also had their own concerns. If Qin Hao’s seismograph was that accurate, what use would they be?

If they weren’t even slightly useful, would they still be necessary? Would the country still allocate research funds to them?

The most important was that Zhang Xiuji and others saw the huge profits of the Xinghai Seismograph.

Just as Qin Hao had said earlier, if they researched and sold it to other countries, they could ask for any amount of money they wanted.

So, no matter what, Zhang Xiuji had to take the Xinghai Seismograph and the development technology.

Even if it meant calling in favors, he had to take those two things.

Qin Hao laughed out of sheer anger, “Mr. Zhang, if you’re so professional, why didn’t you develop such a seismograph? What a joke.

And one more thing for you to understand, the Xinghai Seismograph will be free for all the people of Xuan Country to use, to prevent the occurrence of earthquakes.

I, Qin Hao, am patriotic, yes, but please don’t you damn well use this as leverage against me.

I’m not some soft persimmon that you can just squeeze at will, get lost.”

Zhang Xiuji and the others’ faces turned extremely awkward, as Qin Hao actually told them to get lost.

They were experts in the field of seismology in the country; when had they ever been subjected to such humiliation?

Leng Xuan and his group entered, looking expressionless at Zhang Xiuji and his more than ten people, “Please go ahead.”

Zhang Xiuji’s face turned an iron blue, extremely embarrassed; he glared fiercely at Qin Hao, huffed heavily, and left.

Once they had left, Qin Hao sneered, the facade of these people sickening him.

He turned to Han Le’an and the others and said, “The effectiveness of the Xinghai Seismograph is well known, I’m sure. This is a great deed for the country.

Those of you who wish to stay and continue working, I will offer generous salaries. I won’t stop anyone who wants to leave; you can go now.”

All eyes turned to Han Le’an, as many of the people here were his students.

Han Le’an quickly said, “Mr. Qin, we wish to stay and work here. I’ve dedicated so many years to the study of seismology just to develop such a seismograph, to save more lives of our people.”

Qin Hao: “Good, in a moment, you represent the Xinghai Earthquake Monitoring Room and hold a press conference.”

“Announce the earthquake in Beihai Country officially, it doesn’t matter if they believe it or not. But after this earthquake, many will definitely be convinced of the accuracy of our seismographs. That’s my main goal…”

Han Le’an was stunned for a moment, “Mr. Qin, not many reporters might show up for a press conference. How about an online release?”

Qin Hao replied, “That works. I’ll arrange for the HR department to handle your employment contracts in the next couple of days.”

…

After sorting out the affairs with Han Le’an and the others, Qin Hao went to the workshop to take a look. Currently, there are four production lines for the photolithography machines.

Only when the number of photolithography machines increases can there be more chip production lines and higher output.

At the moment, the chip production workshop is manufacturing chips for Kang Mei washing machines. Once the chips are completed, someone will specifically transport them to the PC motherboard production workshop.

Then, a specialized machine installs the chips onto the motherboards, which are finally sent to the robot workshop for intelligent robots to load the systems.

Qin Hao also inspected the production line of advanced surveillance probes, which could be installed in two or three days.

After leaving Xinghai Company, Qin Hao received a phone call from Fan Chengye, the dean of the medical department at Xuan Science Academy.

“Hello, Mr. Fan, do you need something from me?” Qin Hao asked with a smile.

Fan Chengye asked, “I heard you had a run-in with the people from the Earthquake Bureau?”

Qin Hao was stunned for a second, “Mr. Fan, how did you get the news so quickly? It’s nothing serious, just that some people are too greedy.”

Fan Chengye warned, “Some people in the Earthquake Bureau have quite a bit of clout, don’t take them lightly.”

Qin Hao replied, “Thank you, Mr. Fan, I’m aware.”

Fan Chengye continued, “Nothing much, I just watched the live broadcast on TV. Is your seismograph really that accurate?”

Qin Hao responded, “For now, no matter what we say, not many people believe it. Let’s wait for the results in the early morning of the 6th.”

The call ended.

A flicker of sharpness passed through Qin Hao’s eyes. Even if those people from the Earthquake Bureau had great power, could they outright steal from him?

At most, they might seek various connections to pressure him.

This noon, the Xinghai Earthquake Monitoring Room posted an announcement online, stating that they detected an 8.9 magnitude earthquake would occur thirty nautical miles east of Gong County in Beihai Country.

The exact time, location, and magnitude of the earthquake were mentioned, but few believed it.

For many internet users, only the announcement from the Xuan Country Earthquake Bureau held any authority.

Qin Hao made a phone call to Xu Liangguo, “Mr. Xu, there’s something I want to ask you.”

Xu Liangguo responded irritably, “You kid are nothing but trouble. I heard you offended people at the Earthquake Bureau again?”

Qin Hao chuckled nervously, “They wanted to take away my research and even threatened me. How could I endure that? If I did, wouldn’t that embarrass you, Mr. Xu?”

Xu Liangguo replied, “That’s also true. They receive so much funding every year and can’t even research a fart.”

Qin Hao broke into a cold sweat; only Xu Liangguo would dare say such things. “Mr. Xu, the earthquake matter is absolutely true.

If there are any of our Xuan Country compatriots over there, please try to get the state to bring them back using official means.”

Xu Liangguo pondered for a moment, “If there’s no earthquake, my old face will be thoroughly embarrassed.”

Qin Hao grinned, “Mr. Xu, we’re family, how could I let you be embarrassed?”

Xu Liangguo cursed, not in any good mood, “Cut the bullshit, you’re already embarrassing enough for me.”

If not for his intervention in Xu Siyao’s matter, the gossip could have had him laughed to death.
