Chapter 33 Market Sensation

"He Xingzhou?" Upon mentioning this name, the executives all showed puzzled expressions.

They indeed had not heard this name before, except for a CEO's assistant in charge of data collection who said, "Leaders, according to our investigation, this He Xingzhou is currently a junior physics student at Beijing University of Science and Technology."

"He once made videos online about how to make a mini nuclear reactor; this metal-air battery was developed for his video claiming to create an Electromagnetic Floating Car, as a part of the supporting technology research."

"Other information is very limited; it's said that he has already joined a research institute under the National Academy of Sciences. He is a bona fide genius."

"Is that so?" The executives were puzzled. If He Xingzhou were in his forties, fifties, or even eighties or nineties, they might accept it.

But it's surprising that he is merely a student.

"Where is the video?" an executive asked.

The assistant immediately played the video released by He Xingzhou online; on watching it, everyone was greatly surprised.

"He really dares to dream. Our BYD Auto Company is a major car manufacturer, and even we couldn't think of making such a car. Other competitors, whether in Japan, the UK, or even German car manufacturers, would not be able to succeed! He, a student, is saying he wants to make an Electromagnetic Floating Car?" one executive laughed.

"Don't underestimate him!" someone commented, "I initially thought the same as you. But this battery, didn't he actually make it?"

"This..." Others were at a loss for words, right, he had already completed what seemed impossible.

"There's very little information about him online, and even less contact information. No matter what, we must get in touch with him!"

"We must obtain the technical license for the metal-air battery, and it's best to recruit He Xingzhou to our company, offering him whatever amount of money he wants!" The chairman decided.

…

In Huaxia, major battery companies, new energy enterprises, and automotive companies were all urgently searching for He Xingzhou, including some electronics industries and emerging forces wanting to manufacture cars.

"We must get in touch with this He Xingzhou; it would be best to recruit him to our company!" At Da Mi Technology Company, founder Tian Jun issued a directive during an urgent meeting.

"This kind of metal-air battery could not only improve our Da Mi Technology electronic products' competitiveness but also be a crucial part of our Da Mi electric vehicles!"

"I don't care what method you use, you must find him!"

At Huawei Technology Limited Company, the president who had received the news immediately called for a meeting, ordering, "We must acquire the metal-air battery technology!"

"Everyone, start moving, find the person, find the technology!"

"We must be ahead of other companies!"

…

Not only in Huaxia, but other countries also heard this news.

In Japan, Toyota, Honda, Mazda, and companies like Sanyo, and Sony were also urgently contacting their representatives in Huaxia to gather more information immediately.

In Korea, conglomerates like Samsung, SK, LG were doing similar things, and in Germany, Volkswagen, BMW…

Enterprises across various nations were taking action. In the UK, Tesla Company, founder Musk had just finished a TV program, his face flushed with excitement.

Recently in the cryptocurrency market, he had made a killing and earned quite a sum.

"President, there's major news!" the assistant messaged him urgently.

"What happened? Did the coin I just talked about go up?" Musk asked with a smile.

"No, it's about the battery technology. Huaxia has suddenly announced a breakthrough in metal-air battery technology, challenging our position in the electric vehicle arena!" the assistant explained.

"What? How could their battery technology suddenly make a breakthrough? Is the news real?" Musk jumped up, this electric car business was one of his core areas, with battery technology being crucial!

"It's announced by the Huaxia National Academy of Sciences, and based on their practice, any technology announced in the news is usually already mature!" the assistant replied.

"I need detailed information, fast!" Musk demanded, his good mood instantly vanished, yelling out.

Meanwhile, at the headquarters of Apple Company in Californian, the current president Ku Ke also heard this news, making a call to the president in Huaxia, demanding they immediately gather more information.

…

These companies and enterprises were all searching for the developer of the metal-air battery or the person in charge.

They wanted to contact He Xingzhou or the research institute he was associated with, but there was no response so far. Rumors had it that the patent for the technology was in He Xingzhou's possession.

Suddenly, everyone wanted to find He Xingzhou.

But to their dismay, they couldn't find any information online. Contact his family? All harassing calls had been intercepted by the Information Security Department.

Find He Xingzhou himself? His phone number was untraceable, and the university stated they couldn't provide contact information.

Now, the executives of various companies were stupefied.

It's the 21st century; with such advanced communications, and yet they still couldn't find a person!

"Who exactly is He Xingzhou, that officials don't allow us to inquire about his detailed information!" all the company heads were going mad, with timing being crucial in this race.

Whoever could first secure the license for this battery technology would lead ahead of others, but they just could not find the person.

Someone had a stroke of genius and said, "Wasn't the video released by He Xingzhou on the video website? Can't we just contact him through the video website?"

"Yes, since he posted videos there, the video website must have his contact details!"

Leaders of major enterprises all crowded into the video website.

"Mr. Wang, hello!" The founder of the B-site video website, Feng Rui, was on the phone, looking frustrated.

Since an hour ago, he hadn't stopped receiving messages and calls.

"I genuinely can't contact He Xingzhou; his information is archived with the relevant department and cannot be disclosed!"

"Really, I am not giving it to other companies! I swear on my reputation!"

"I want to contact him too, but I can't!"

Feng Rui never thought he would see this day! Normally when his site needed financing, he would have to devise ways to see these bigwigs, but today, they were all actively calling him.

But not for him, rather for a video author!

"A video author is being more sought after than the founder of my site, it's really giving me a headache!" Feng Rui thought, as he picked up the next call, all from heavyweights, whom he couldn't dare ignore.

…

These people were still unable to locate He Xingzhou, so they resorted to the most primitive method to contact He Xingzhou.

Under He Xingzhou's video, suddenly a plethora of company-verified official accounts emerged.

Da Mi Technology: "@Planet Builder, congratulations sir on developing the metal-air battery technology, do you have a contact method? Our President Tian would like to meet you!"

Huawei Technology: "@Planet Builder, congratulations sir on tackling the technology, do you have time to visit us at Huawei?"

BYD Auto Company: "@Planet Builder, are you there? are you there? are you there? Looking for your contact details!"

Ningyuan Era: "@Planet Builder, me too! (Real official account, just registered, applying for business verification)"

…

Various similar comments appeared, a whole bunch of them, all from renowned large enterprises, including many international brands.

This wave of comments stunned the netizens!

What does influence look like? On the entire video website, whether it be B-site or other video platforms, there has never been a video author treated like this! A bunch of company accounts begging to get in touch, if it were any other author, they'd probably wake up laughing from their dreams!
