At this moment, He Xingzhou was not logged into his video website account.
He was in a group chat discussing the next strategic moves with a bunch of Xuanwu Executive Officers.
[Xuanwu Executive Officer Discussion Group] was a chat group exclusive to Xuanwu Plan Executives, and He Xingzhou, as the whistleblower of the Insect Race crisis, had also joined this group.
Additionally, all the Xuanwu Plan executors had another larger group for timely communication.
Not only was the communication software specially developed, but the devices used were also uniformly distributed by the National Security Bureau to prevent hacking or eavesdropping.
In the chat, several Xuanwu Executive Officers were expressing admiration for He Xingzhou's efficiency.
Kong Qing said: "In such a short time, your Tower Research Institute has already achieved results! And it's a breakthrough in battery technology, @He Xingzhou, young people are really impressive."
"Yes, I was thinking, could the research institute really start officially in a month... This efficiency is truly humbling!" He Hongwei said.
He Xingzhou: "(Emoticon: Embarrassed) Lucky, the materials were complete, and there were so many experts and Academicians to help."
"Let's not talk about this now, fellow seniors, what are your thoughts on the matter of tech licensing?"
Lv Mei said: "Of course, the more licenses the better, spread the technology immediately! Before the Insect Race disaster strikes, our entire Huaxia battery industry must upgrade to metal-air battery technology!"
Cui Weimin said: "Comrade Lv Mei is right, not just the military industry but also the civilian industry should upgrade accordingly. Regarding the technology licensing, I think we should prioritize licensing to state-owned enterprises, allowing them to immediately upgrade industrially. Private enterprises should also develop licenses to enhance their competitiveness in the industry and to promote the related industrial development."
No one objected to this, and He Xingzhou asked another question: "What about the related financial considerations? I mean, we could license it for free to state-owned enterprises, as it's all for the sake of the country, but we should still charge a licensing fee to private enterprises. It would be best if this licensing fee could be kept within our Tower Research Institute, as research funds."
Kong Qing said: "In this respect, you and your team, as the developers, certainly have patent rights. Licensing should be free for all state-owned enterprises, and other profits should be partly rewarded to the developers to boost everyone's motivation, and a part should be kept as research funds for the institute."
"Your Tower Research Institute, for any technology or products with independent intellectual property rights, the revenues from that part, are all yours to allocate!"
"That's great!" That was exactly what He Xingzhou wanted; the resources needed for his plan were immense, and even with the nation's support, it might not be affordable.
If so, the developed technologies and products could be used to profit from the entire world and gather resources.
As for personal rewards, He Xingzhou planned to use them to build an emergency shelter for himself and his family, which was his personal little vanity.
While He Xingzhou was chatting with the Xuanwu Executive Officers, in Huaxia, Coastal Province, in Jiaying Prefecture, in an ordinary residential area.
In a house of less than eighty square meters lived a once ordinary family.
This was He Xingzhou's home, where his father He Qihang, his mother Jiang Manrong, and his younger sister He Mengyao still lived.
Comrades had already come over to arrange their relocation, but He Qihang had been hesitating these days; firstly, he was reluctant to leave the environment he had lived in for decades, and secondly, he didn't quite believe the claims of the relocation personnel.
Their son was still in university; how could he afford to buy them a house? And to have it specially arranged for them!
He Qihang had looked at the residential complexes they offered, several options, any one of which would start in the millions on the market.
They even said that if they were willing to move to Beijing, they could be arranged to live there!
"Why are they being so good to our family?" This was a common question among the family members, "How expensive are houses in Beijing, and they're giving us one as a gift, even completing Mengyao's school transfer... Does my son really have such ability?"
At this time, He Qihang was discussing this matter with his younger brother, He Qiguang.
They analyzed the situation while drinking tea.
"Yeah, how much money does that cost, how much power does it take?" He Qiguang also felt puzzled, "A pie doesn't just fall from the sky."
In the kitchen, Jiang Manrong, who was cooking, said: "For such a big matter, if Xingzhou doesn't come back to confirm with us, we can't just believe it casually."
"Besides, Mengyao is about to take her college entrance exams soon, we can't make moves during this period until she's done."
"This is too extravagant, I just feel it's not right." He Qiguang said, "Xingzhou hasn't entered some pyramid scheme, has he?"
Upon saying this, He Xingzhou's parents were shocked! "That shouldn't be, my son is quite smart!" He Qihang said in disbelief.
"Hey! There are plenty of smart people involved in pyramid schemes!" He Qiguang said.
The more they thought about it, the more it seemed incorrect, Jiang Manrong said: "No, I have to make a video call with him, these days I can't even get through, it really seems like a scam!"
She managed to get through to He Xingzhou's phone, and this time the call connected.
Before He Xingzhou could speak, Jiang Manrong's voice came from the other end: "Son, where are you now?"
"At my workplace." He Xingzhou heard the concern in her voice.
"Workplace? Aren't you a student? What kind of workplace do you have?" The family started to panic.
He Xingzhou laughed: "I joined a research institute for an internship."
"You could join a research institute?" They didn't believe it.
He Xingzhou said: "Haven't you watched the news? It was on the national broadcast."
"What do you do that even made it to the national broadcast?" He Qihang became anxious, "Son, you haven't done something wrong outside, have you?"
He Xingzhou was speechless and said: "Dad, Mom, didn't I explain it before? If you don't believe me, you can watch the national broadcast yourself!"
"All talk but no action! You've joined a pyramid scheme, no doubt!" He Qiguang asserted.
"That's not right though, could we be chatting like this if it was a pyramid scheme?" Jiang Manrong was more inclined to believe him, she said: "Turn on the TV and see what they're showing?"
"Don't hang up, let's check." Recently, the family hadn't been using the TV much to avoid distracting He Mengyao from studying.
He Qihang turned on the TV, and at that time, the channel was rebroadcasting the national broadcast.
"Mom, I'm back, it smells so good, I'm starving!" a crisp voice called from outside the door, and a young girl with a ponytail, wearing a blue and white school uniform, ran in. It was He Xingzhou's sister, He Mengyao.
"All you know is eating!" Jiang Manrong said, "Go to the kitchen and help yourself."
"What are you guys doing?" He Mengyao noticed that everyone was intently focused on the TV, still watching the news broadcast.
"Is that Mengyao back?" He Xingzhou shouted.
"Brother!" He Mengyao picked up the phone excitedly and said, "Brother, why haven't you replied to my messages lately? I'm about to take my college entrance exam, and you said before you'd take me out once it's over!"
He Xingzhou laughed: "Come to Beijing after your exams, we can't go anywhere else as I'm really busy now."
"Hehe, I can go to Beijing, I've wanted to visit for a long time!" He Mengyao brimmed with joy.
At this time, the TV screen was already broadcasting about the battery technology.
