Chapter 144 Dispute
As soon as marshmallows came out, some people became wary, especially after some research institutions analyzed and studied marshmallows and found that they could not replicate their production process.
You know, in order to apply for a patent, some technical details of marshmallows must be submitted to the Patent Office. Although they are confidential information, there are always some people who have the energy to get these information. However, they find that with the same materials, the same production process, and the same machinery and equipment, there is a huge gap between their products and real marshmallows. No matter how they adjust, they can't make up for the gap. Someone bribed the workers in the marshmallow production factory, but got nothing. Unless they use huge force to challenge the determination of a country to attack the factory and move away all the automated machines isolated by reinforced glass, it is impossible to solve the problems in production.
The only thing that is clear is that only the inventor Rong Yuan truly understands the secret of marshmallow production.
In fact, think about it, although marshmallows are magical, they are ultimately just inanimate objects that can be copied after obtaining information. What is truly precious is the person who can invent it from scratch.
Rong Yuan is still so young, and he has only lived through the first fifth of his life. No one doubts that he still has great potential to break through himself and achieve greater success in the long future. Marshmallows are nothing. As long as there is Rong Yuan, there may be more inventions comparable to marshmallows in the future.
Many forces were ready to make a move, but they didn't want to take such drastic measures. It would be great if they could use benefits to lure the young man to surrender. However, Rong Yuan was too much of a homebody. Apart from a few limited media interviews, he almost never left his house. He didn't have any frequently used online social platforms, and unfamiliar phone calls couldn't get through to his phone. Those who wanted to contact him had no way to do so. Instead, in the process of trying to contact him, they exposed their forces to the sight of the officials of City A and were quickly put under surveillance.
At this time, all parties realized that although Rong Yuan seemed to be free and had nothing to do with the Tangguo officials, in fact, there was already a strict protection system around him. Because Rong Yuan's daily activities were very simple, the existence of these people was like quietly lurking in the shadows without showing any signs of danger, but like an open net, they swallowed up all the probing chess pieces without hesitation.
The masterminds behind the scenes realized that even if they could impress Rong Yuan, the Tang country officials would not allow them to take this person out of the country easily.
Rong Yuan only knew that their cotton candy was in short supply in China, so all orders from abroad were postponed, but he didn't know that cotton candy had become a restricted export commodity in Sugar Country, and passengers carrying cotton candy would be strictly inspected at customs and airports. Countries that wanted to buy large quantities of cotton candy products - such as Tea Country, which also suffered from smog - also put this demand in the conditions for negotiating trade transactions with Sugar Country.
Rong Yuan had no interest in business matters and handed them all over to Jin Yang. Rong Yuan saw the skyrocketing sales, the crowds queuing day and night, the non-stop media publicity, the piles of countless orders, the rapidly expanding factory land and production lines, but he didn't know that Jin Yang had been exposed to this level of game behind the scenes... Or maybe it can't be called a game, he believed that the one behind all this should be Jin Yang's grandfather or uncle.
Marshmallows have touched the interests of countless people, and their expansion momentum is unstoppable. Their existence makes people jealous, envious, and resentful. Jin Yang's grandfather has not yet reached the point where he can cover the sky with one hand in the Sugar Country. The reason why the factory has not been harassed or swallowed up, and no force has forced them to hand over all the technical information, and Rong Yuan can still do his own research quietly, is because Jin Yang has found a larger umbrella than the Jin family without affecting their interests - that is the Sugar Country itself.
Originally, the top research institute in Sugar Country wanted to recruit Rong Yuan as an exception, a famous scientist wanted to take him as a student, some people thought that Rong Yuan's freedom should be restricted, and some people wanted to rely on their status or prestige to make Rong Yuan register Marshmallow under the name of their own research institute. All of these were blocked by Jin Yang.
——It turns out that so many things happened during this period of time, but why was I unaware of any of them?
Rong Yuan thought about it and suddenly remembered a conversation he had during a nap one afternoon.
…
At that time, Zhou Yuan had just seen on the Internet a famous "expert" from the Sugar Country arguing with confidence that "the moon is rounder in foreign countries". He criticized the Sugar Country people from all angles for being ignorant, vulgar, inferior, servile, etc. The girl was so angry that she scolded the expert from head to toe and talked nonstop for half an hour. Jin Yang suddenly smiled.
"You're still laughing. Aren't you angry?" Zhou Yuan stared at him with her eyes wide open, as if she would immediately roll up her sleeves and start a debate with Jin Yang if he said "no".
"No." Jin Yang quickly denied it, and then said: "I just think that some experts hate Xiao Yuan the most now."
"Huh?" Zhou Yuan was puzzled—what does it have to do with Rong Yuan?
Rong Yuan understood his subtext, shook his head and said, "There is nothing to compare. "
Jin Yang explained to Zhou Yuan that they were referring to a scandal that broke out in the academic community of Tangguo not long ago. A big shot who received tens of millions of research funds was confirmed to have plagiarized other people's papers and fabricated and tampered with experimental data after years of hard work. His research group lost face and the reputation of the entire academic community of Tangguo was seriously damaged. However, he still shamelessly ignored it, which had a very bad impact.
In comparison, Rong Yuan, at a young age, has achieved what countless people cannot do in their entire lives through his own efforts, which is a slap in the face of countless Sugar Country researchers.
However, Rong Yuan knew that although he had made many changes in the production of cotton candy, the basis was still the genuine fluffy cotton candy exchanged from the Merit Mall, and the chemical formula obtained with the help of Ant-Man's battle suit. Without these two things, there would be no cotton candy today. He just brought it into the real world where everyone can use it.
After Jin Yang finished speaking, he asked with a smile: "Xiao Yuan, with this invention, I'm afraid many research institutes will be vying for you. National research institutes have high-end equipment that is difficult for ordinary people to get and astronomical funding. If you want to go in, no matter what you want to study, you will have the most convenient conditions."
Rong Yuan asked: "Is there a research institute in this world that doesn't ask about age, education, background, or experience, and doesn't involve intrigue, but only focuses on research?"
Jin Yang gave an expected smile and said, "I'm afraid not."
"Then I won't go." Rong Yuan said bluntly.
Jin Yang shook his head and sighed, "I knew you would say that."
…
It turned out that he was not being kept in the dark, but after Jin Yang confirmed his feelings, he no longer bothered him with these trivial matters.
Taking advantage of the confrontation between the two sides, Wang Wenzhong gave a brief explanation. Rong Yuan could guess most of the things he didn't say.
Some wanted to get him, some wanted to kill him because they knew they couldn't get him, some wanted to kill him because they were tempted by him, and some wanted to disrupt the situation and take advantage of the opportunity to profit without a clear purpose... All the forces were intertwined, and when Rong Yuan returned to the warehouse alone on a whim, they all started to exert their strength, and some even played a spy drama. Wang Wenzhong was actually not sure how many enemies there were and what the origins of each enemy were. In short, anyone who took action at this time would be treated indiscriminately.
As he was talking, a cold wind blew past, and a rustling sound was heard in the woods. Wang Wenzhong showed a vigilant expression, motioned Rong Yuan to climb the tree, and he crouched down and groped his way out.
Rong Yuan was a little surprised, because he had just heard the footsteps. Wang Wenzhong's hearing could not be stronger than his, but he discovered the enemy almost at the same time - was it experience? Or was it the perception of danger?
Rong Yuan had no intention of playing a hero. He easily climbed to the densely branched part of the tree and watched Wang Wenzhong's actions through the gaps between the leaves.
About a dozen people came in, masked and armed, and they surrounded Rong Yuan from a distance. Their tactical moves were more standard than what Rong Yuan had seen on TV. Even if they were not the army, they were probably regular mercenaries. Wang Wenzhong was hiding behind the tree like a shadow. Rong Yuan knew he was there, but he always ignored his presence when he looked over.
He was also as elusive and agile as a shadow. He left his original position in a blink of an eye, hiding his body with the help of grass and darkness. In a moment, he appeared behind the person at the edge of the masked team. Without seeing him move, the two disappeared together. In less than two minutes, the masked man reappeared, his movements and position were exactly the same as before. Only in the skull scan of the optical brain could the difference between him and the previous person be found.
Wang Wenzhong replaced the masked man, and then approached someone from time to time during the search. Whenever he approached someone, one or two people would instantly collapse. Ten minutes later, only five or six people were left standing in the team, and it was then that the leader walking in front noticed something was wrong.
Next, a one-sided massacre like a strong man bullying a baby took place in front of Rong Yuan again.
He grabbed the last person by the neck and made a cracking sound. Wang Wenzhong dropped the body and raised his head and said, "Come down. We will move immediately."
The transfer process was not smooth, and the people who were supposed to pick them up were still some distance away. Perhaps the others knew that this was the last chance, and it would be almost impossible for Rong Yuan to find such a single opportunity once he entered the protection circle again. Perhaps it was because their troops had all arrived nearby in the past few hours. In short, they were intercepted almost every few steps they took. Rong Yuan did not find any opportunity to take action himself. Wang Wenzhong, who was blocking in front of him, was like a solid cliff, ruthlessly slapping back all the stormy waves. He did not have time to intercept some assassinations against Rong Yuan, and even blocked them directly with his body - of course he was wearing a bulletproof vest.
This place is located in the suburbs, there are not many cameras and residents, and the role of the pea is limited. After the scanning function is fully turned on, although it can calculate the flight trajectory of the bullet, it can only remind Rongyuan 0.01 seconds in advance. Its main function is to comprehensively monitor the actions of people in other parts of City A.
Just as they were about to reach the rendezvous point, Wang Wenzhong stopped.
In front of me is a vast and flat land with no obstructions.
This means that when they pass through this area, there may be countless guns pointed at them, easily shooting them into sieves.
