Chapter 88: Chapters 88, 89: Help Yourself (Extra for Not Having a Bad Temper) Chapter 88: Chapters 88, 89: Help Yourself (Extra for Not Having a Bad Temper) “What?” Hearing his words, the two were stunned.
He meant that the world’s most advanced transmission electron microscope technology had already been conquered by Shen Zhou?
“An A-level Transmission Electron Microscope?” Taylor immediately laughed and said, “Even if it’s a sub-Angstrom level electron microscope, conquering it isn’t something that can be done in a year or two.”
“Haha, you all are really amusing!” Simon realized that these Easterners were definitely trying to trick them.
Xu Bo smiled without saying anything. He looked at the time; it was just about time.
At this moment, in Shen Zhou, the Academy of Sciences held a brief press conference.
Its content only had one item, “Under the leadership of comrades He Xingzhou, Luo Zhenhai, and Yan Rui, our country has conquered A-level Transmission Electron Microscope technology and multiphoton laser scanning microscope technology. This is the first time our country has reached a world-leading level in this field…”
He Xingzhou did not attend this press conference, but the attention it received was not low at all.
While Simon was still laughing, a subordinate came in and whispered something in his ear, to which Simon replied with a shocked tone, “Is it true?”
The subordinate glanced at Xu Bo and others without speaking, handing a document to him.
Simon looked down at it, and the expression on his face gradually turned serious.
“What is true?” Taylor realized that something was wrong.
Simon did not show him the document, but he had already received a message from the company.
“There really is an A-level Transmission Electron Microscope?” Taylor saw the message, saying that they were currently showcasing their technology; the technical department analyzed the information from their demonstration and believed that the news was basically true.
Taylor was incredibly shocked; their FEI company was definitely the strongest enterprise in this field globally, and those two international conglomerates in Japan weren’t even up to their level in this aspect.
And their most advanced technology couldn’t even reach the sub-Angstrom level. Shen Zhou was already capable of producing A-level, which meant that the opposing side’s technology was at least ten years ahead of theirs!
What did it feel like for the world’s number one to suddenly be stepped on?
*Taylor felt an incomparably intense sense of crisis; their monopolistic market position had already been broken!*
When he looked up at Xu Bo again, the composure he had earlier was completely gone.
At this time, another message came through, and when Taylor looked at it, it read, “President, the buyers in Japan and Korea have backed out; they don’t want to purchase our products. They think the price is too high.”
*Taylor knew all too well: the price being too high was just an excuse; they merely saw Shen Zhou’s news and believed Shen Zhou would soon manufacture the related instruments as well, so there was no need for them to be the financial scapegoats!*
“Simon!” Taylor said through gritted teeth, looking at Simon. If this batch of goods ended up wasted, the company would suffer significant losses!
Simon also understood that the situation had changed, so he immediately said, “Mr. Xu, I just received news that there were indeed some issues with the previous review of your order with FEI company. We will conduct a re-evaluation to ensure your fair transaction!”
He knew that those above would certainly change their decision; since the other side had more advanced technology now, stalling this batch of goods had no meaning. It would be better to earn some money.
“No need!” Xu Bo stood up, smiling as he said, “Your company’s equipment is too expensive, we can’t afford it. You can keep it for yourselves.”
“Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu, we can negotiate again!” Taylor was panicking; earlier, it was Xu Bo and the others who were in need of them. Now that the situation had suddenly reversed, it was their turn to plead with the other side.
However, Xu Bo and the others acted as if they hadn’t heard, directly leaving the venue, leaving Taylor in a state of anxious panic and Simon looking very embarrassed.
*Watching their figures disappear, Taylor felt immense regret: Why did he listen to Simon? They could have made a substantial profit, but now it was they who were suffering the losses.*
“Simon, I need an explanation from you!” Taylor said, “If our FEI company suffers losses because of this, I guarantee, you definitely won’t have it easy!”
With such a threat, Simon did not dare to say much more; after all, FEI was one of the international giants, and several capital tycoons backed him. Their influence was something not even his boss could withstand!
Domestically, the breakthrough in A-level Transmission Electron Microscope technology had drawn the attention of numerous enterprises and research institutions.
Especially those hospitals and biological research institutions, all of which sent inquiries.
Volkswagen, however, felt nothing about it, as they were unfamiliar with this field and didn’t know what this technology represented.
Below the news were comments, aside from those praising and commending, there were also those urging for updates from He Xingzhou.
“Why did He Xingzhou switch to making microscopes?”
“@He Xingzhou, hurry and update!”
“Why wasn’t He Xingzhou at today’s press conference?”
He Xingzhou even went out of his way to post an update, writing, “I am developing a smart product, which may be announced within the month.”
About optical lenses, optical sensors, and other technologies, the progress was rapid after pooling the national research resources.
He Xingzhou also proposed some improvements, predicting that highly functional intelligent glasses could be produced within the month.
As for himself, he brought several newly developed electronic microscopes back to Tower Research Institute for the use of the biological research team.
After a year of construction, the underground space of Tower Research Institute expanded more than threefold!
An entire floor was dedicated to the biochemical research center, primarily studying Zerg and Zerg gene information.
“This thing is excellent, a timely rain!” The team leader, Pan Yan, personally experienced the functions of several electronic microscopes and happily said, “Now we can begin more comprehensive research on these Zerg!”
