Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 508: Chapter 507 Thanks

The assembly gradually dispersed, leaving only the representatives from foreign countries sitting dejectedly in their places.

During the press conference, they had learned that their technological advantages had vanished. Without these advantages, their conglomerates were likely doomed.

What they found unbearable was that just an hour ago, they had paid the breach of contract penalties.

Dozens of conglomerates together had paid over thirty billion yuan in penalties!

Each conglomerate had contributed tens or even hundreds of millions in breach of contract fees.

Had Huaxia Country not possessed these technologies, those penalties would have been trivial, and they could’ve extorted them back in the future.

But now, with the technology in someone else’s hands, they no longer held a technological monopoly. How could they extort in the future?

In that moment, these representatives all felt a surge of nausea; they simply couldn’t fathom what had just happened.

They couldn’t comprehend how the pride of their achievements had vanished into thin air, thoroughly researched and mastered by others.

”Are they using our technology?” a foreign representative asked grimly.

”Their technology is completely different from ours!” another knowledgeable representative said gravely. ”It’s something I’ve never heard of, it must be their original technology!”

”How is this possible? We’ve never heard of any advancements from them in this field; how could they suddenly have created their own technology?”

”Who knows? Just like these medical projects, who would’ve believed that Huaxia had such medical skills if we hadn’t seen it with our own eyes?”

”It’s unbelievable! How did they develop all these technologies? According to normal scientific principles, even with another twenty years, they couldn’t have developed a single one. To develop so many at once, it would take at least thirty to fifty years. What’s really going on?”

”The key lies in that Su Yang. A teenager, not even out of high school, came up with these technologies—how exceptional of a genius is he?”

Everyone fell silent at once. Yes, that was the truly astonishing issue.

At this point, several Japanese exchanged glances, their eyes filled with a hint of chill.

Elsewhere, Su Yang left the press conference and went straight upstairs.

Elder Yue, accompanied by Elder Hua, was the first to visit Su Yang. As soon as they entered, Elder Hua knelt down.

”Hey, Elder Hua, you can’t do this!” Su Yang quickly stood up, full of respect for Elder Hua. ”Elder Yue, please, help Elder Hua up!”

But Elder Yue did not do so. Instead, he followed Elder Hua’s example and knelt before Su Yang.

”Elder Yue, why are you doing this too...” Su Yang was stunned; the two of them were over a hundred and eighty years old combined, and he couldn’t bear to see them kneeling before him.

”Master Su, please don’t help us up!” Elder Hua’s voice trembled. ”We are representing all the patients and all the citizens of Huaxia to express our heartfelt thanks to you!”

”Indeed!” Elder Yue nodded. ”I’ve lived my whole life, thinking I did well in saving people. But compared to you, Master Su, I’m but a layman. You’ve broadened my horizons and made my life worthwhile!”

Feeling moved, Su Yang helped the two elders up, saying, ”You two have spent your lives healing and saving countless lives. As your junior, how can I accept such a grand gesture?”

”In a lifetime of medicine, how many people can we save? But your words today, how many will they save?” Elder Hua added, ”Let me put it this way, if we used foreign equipment to develop these projects, the cost would increase by fifty percent. If we were to buy your projects with normal patents, costs would go up another thirty percent. And these would all be reflected later in the medical bills.”

”Your technology today, along with your speech, could reduce research costs by eighty percent. Do you realize what that means? In other words, under these conditions, drugs that are researched might allow hundreds of thousands, or even millions of poor people to afford medication and treatment!”

”Master Su, what you’ve done and said today has saved the lives of millions!”

”I have practiced medicine all my life; I might have saved ten thousand or twenty thousand lives. But can I save millions? Ten millions?”

As Elder Hua spoke, tears streamed down his face. Grasping Su Yang’s hand firmly, he choked out, ”Master Su, on behalf of the entire world, I thank you!”

Standing by Elder Hua, Su Yang was also filled with emotion. He, of course, knew what these technologies and research findings truly meant, though he hadn’t thought it all through initially.

The moment earlier, when Elder Hua knelt before him, Su Yang was genuinely touched. He finally realized that there were many people in this world with intentions not just for themselves, but who truly embodied great love.

Moved by Elder Hua, Su Yang had made that impromptu decision.

After seeing Elder Hua and Elder Yue off, Su Yang had barely sat down when Number Three hurried over.

”Master Su, you really astonished me!” Number Three exclaimed in joy. ”Professor Zhao told me that you had shared those technologies downstairs just a while ago. I never expected that, Master Su, you were not only skilled in medicine but also so profoundly versed in technology—it’s utterly shocking!”

With a faint smile, Su Yang replied, ”If it weren’t for those foreign conglomerates causing trouble, I wouldn’t have looked at that section on technology or noticed the mirror technology. To be honest, I can’t claim credit for these technologies—if it weren’t for the original tech and the mirror technology, I wouldn’t have been able to do anything.”

”Have those foreign representatives left?” Su Yang asked with a smile.

”Not yet!” Mentioning the foreign representatives made Number Three even more animated. ”Those foreign representatives are all wilted now. When they first arrived, each one was so arrogant, and even their translators dared to shout at us. Humph, they aren’t swaggering around anymore. A few of the conglomerate reps even sought out our staff in private, hoping we’d continue to use their equipment just to get their penalties back!”

”Haha...” Su Yang chuckled lightly. ”Since the penalties have been paid, there’s no reason to refund them. When they used their technology to extort us before, they certainly didn’t offer us any courtesy, did they?”

”Exactly!” Number Three laughed. ”Of course, we’re not returning the penalties, but I still arranged for some staff to receive them downstairs. We might not give them their money back, but we still need to show them they can’t push us around, or else our past sufferings would have been in vain, right?”
