Chapter 621: Chapter 621: Caught Up in My Own Gossip
However, more subtle occurrences unfolded at noon.
Both parties began accusing each other of stealing the technical data for holographic projection. This became quite intriguing.
Yet, domestic companies felt no amusement as they watched. The more accusations were exchanged, the more it confirmed that the holographic projection technology was real. This was clearly disadvantageous for domestic companies.
Particularly for the major domestic phone manufacturers, the emergence of holographic projection was akin to a complete reshuffle in the industry.
In the morning, Mo Jingchun had already discussed with the heads of Huawei and Xiaomi. In the face of such a crisis, domestic phone manufacturers rarely stood united, gearing up to invest a significant amount in developing holographic projection.
Clearly, everyone knew how painful it was to be cornered. The larger the ship, the better, which is precisely why they approached him.
As domestic companies were preparing to make significant moves, a shocking event left Mo Jingchun and his team stunned.
Following the Beautiful Country, the other four major countries of the Big Five also announced they possessed holographic projection technology, and soon after, other countries followed suit.
In an instant, Mo Jingchun found himself baffled by this gameplay.
It couldn’t be that holographic projection technology had become so common that every nation had a copy, right?
Just as Mo Jingchun was plunged into self-doubt, a voice from Zero interrupted his thoughts.
"Boss, we just received an email. The sender’s address is hidden, but I traced it back to the Beautiful Country."
"What does the email say?" Mo Jingchun asked in shock the next moment, "Could it be the technical data for holographic projection?!"
"Boss, how could you guess that?"
Over half an hour later, after reading through the email’s entire contents, Mo Jingchun was at a loss for words.
The data was real, but incomplete.
Mo Jingchun pondered and still couldn’t understand the motives of the mastermind behind this.
Unbeknownst to Mo Jingchun, the source of all this chaos was actually him.
After a long while, Mo Jingchun shrugged and chuckled, muttering to himself, "Why delve so deep when it’s enough to be one of the beneficiaries?"
Thinking about using holographic projection technology without paying high patent fees in the future, Mo Jingchun felt delighted at heart.
Mo Jingchun had already decided to incorporate holographic projection into the next generation of White.
With news about holographic projection flooding everywhere, people from various countries, unusually, refrained from arguing with each other.
Anyone with an IQ higher than 250 could see there was an issue, a big issue indeed.
Only Japan and the Beautiful Country continued their endless bickering.
Of course, Mo Jingchun was just one of the many onlookers. He was also curious about how such crucial technical data could have leaked.
It was certain that holographic projection was developed either by the Beautiful Country or Japan, though Mo Jingchun believed Japan was more likely.
As more and more information leaked online, Mo Jingchun was amused by the news.
Until evening, when the sun set with breathtaking scenery, Mo Jingchun had no mood to appreciate the view.
On his way home, the smile on Mo Jingchun’s face gradually vanished.
Little did Mo Jingchun expect, while being a mere observer, the consequences would land on him.
Thinking of how Candy’s pocket money was stolen by people from Japan made Mo Jingchun’s heart ache. Suffering losses was not his style.
Without hesitating, Mo Jingchun immediately called Xu Pengfei.
"Old Xu, immediately inform the two managers in Tokyo that, effective immediately, raise the prices of White in-store by 10%, citing limited production capacity as the reason."
Still confused, Xu Pengfei couldn’t respond before the call ended abruptly, sensing the anger in his boss’s voice.
"What’s going on?"
Li Wanning, who was dining opposite Xu Pengfei, asked with concern.
Xu Pengfei shook his head and said, "I need to make a call first. I’ll explain more later."
After conveying the boss’s instructions to the Tokyo stores, Xu Pengfei resumed his meal.
"The boss wants the Tokyo stores to raise White’s sales price by 10%."
Upon hearing this, Li Wanning paused her chopsticks, puzzled, "Why?"
"I don’t know, but the boss seemed quite upset."
At this moment, the door to the private room opened, and Xia Xiaomin walked in with a tray.
"Xia, did you hear what the boss..."
"It all started with the boss’s home being robbed," Xia Xiaomin chuckled and said, "You should check the latest news."
After quite some time, everyone burst into laughter.
Bringing trouble upon oneself was exactly this. No wonder the boss was upset, yet everyone speculated that at this moment, the boss was probably quite amused.
On the living room carpet, a person, a dog, and a cat were silently gathered around a towering stainless steel piggy bank, taller than Little Grey.
Candy tapped on it, producing a crisp sound. Candy had already checked thoroughly; the piggy bank only allowed money in, not out.
The question was, how much money would it take to fill such a large piggy bank?
Despite having a piggy bank, Candy’s face showed a hint of worry.
"Brother, do you want a piggy bank? I’ll give you one," Candy suggested while Mo Jingchun, watching TV on the sofa, responded without looking, "I don’t save money."
Feeling aggrieved, Candy pouted helplessly.
Seeing Candy direct White to carry the stainless steel upstairs, Mo Jingchun couldn’t help but smile.
Zhou Yaling indeed had an eye for things; she chose stainless steel deliberately, with zero superfluity.
Moreover, it was so large—Zhou Yaling definitely did it on purpose.
Estimating conservatively, that stainless steel piggy bank could hold five to six hundred thousand. Mo Jingchun bet the new piggy bank wouldn’t last till it was full.
Quickly, Mo Jingchun’s attention returned to the news.
With holographic projection, the first application was within film cities, something Mo Jingchun wasn’t too surprised about.
Although the data was incomplete, Mo Jingchun could see that current holographic projection equipment was large. Achieving miniaturization and broad usage in mobile phones and various sectors would take time.
"Dinner’s ready," interrupted Mo Jingchun’s thoughts, slightly frowning at the spread of delicious dishes before deciding to forgive Zhou Yaling.
"Where’s Candy?"
"Do you even need to ask? Let’s just say, wasn’t it intentional to buy such a big thing?"
Zhou Yaling smiled slightly and straightforwardly said, "It’s for Candy to save more pocket money."
"I don’t believe your nonsense." Shaking his head, Mo Jingchun called out, "Zero, call Candy down for dinner."
In the blink of an eye, two days passed. In the afternoon, Mo Jingchun was engrossed in studying the complete holographic projection technology material, preparing to upgrade his private laboratory.
Outside the door, Su Wenyan knocked.
Knock... knock... knock...
Mo Jingchun glanced up, "Come in."
"Is there any new development?"
