37: Section 37

Because the rare earth resources they could obtain were more abundant and cheaper.

The saved funds could then be invested in a new round of expansion, making the operation increasingly virtuous!

Watching the burgeoning Huaguo, the Western Countries could no longer sit still!

"What's going on? Have they really developed new technology?"

"Didn't the Experts say that theory was just a gimmick, impossible to achieve?"

"Fuck! These despicable Huaguo people must have stolen our technology. Condemn them, we must condemn them!"

"What, it's not our technology at all? And their production efficiency and scale are hundreds of times larger than ours? It really is that series connection technology!"

"shit! Didn't the President say that even our top scientific research Experts in Lighthouse Country couldn't solve the problems in this theory? How did the Huaguo people solve it?"

Once this news was confirmed.

Foreign countries panicked!

Various countries immediately employed all sorts of methods to try and gather information.

But they got nothing except a name!

"What about our enterprises stationed in Huaguo? Let them get this technology too!?"

"What? They won't give it? It didn't pass the review?"

"shit!!! Huaguo is monopolizing! I'm going to sue them! Sue them with antitrust laws!"

Having been defeated on the technical front, foreign countries completely tore off their masks, intending to counterattack from other angles.

However, all of this was nothing more than a clown's act!

Within Huaguo, as time passed, this new technology caused an even greater uproar than outside!

Of course, compared to the Western Countries, who were more concerned about the technology itself.

The Huaguo public was more interested in the honorable title.

"Lin's Theory?"

"Holy crap, it's not that Lin's again, is it?"

"The Lin's that came up with the specific medicine to cure asthma last time?"

"Is it really the same person? But pharmaceuticals and resource extraction are completely different industries, like mountains apart. How can this Lin's achieve such great results in both aspects?"

"Is this Lin's an individual or a company?"

"It must be an organization! How could it be an individual! Achieving just one of those accomplishments would qualify them as an academician-level industry titan. Now, both are attributed to Lin's, so it's probably a research institution, right?"

"Huaguo indeed has many such silently dedicated pragmatists!"

"Previously unknown, always working hard in secret for the development of the country, this Lin's deserves our admiration!"

..."Whoa~"

Lin Bai, the Lin's that everyone was talking about, with titles like 'diligent' and 'pragmatist'.

Stretched on the bed and yawned.

"This Lin's is really awesome, not disgracing our old Lin family."

Lin Bai unconsciously praised himself.

Then he picked up the fruit 14 that was charging nearby, preparing to browse E-commerce platform and Taobao before going to sleep.

Ever since he learned that Li Yaoyao's family might be very poor, he habitually browsed platforms, wanting to buy things he could use that also came with large cardboard boxes for delivery.

This way, he could at least help her out a little.

Because his wallet had gotten a bit fatter now, he was looking at products in the higher-priced, better-quality categories.

"Hmm?"

As he scrolled, Lin Bai suddenly frowned.

Because he happened to scroll to the electronics page, where he saw a very familiar keyboard in one store.

"Isn't this... the keyboard I'm currently using?"

"Holy crap, this costs thirty-eight thousand!?"

He remembered he only spent thirty-eight on it back then... it should just look similar, right?

Lin Bai wasn't too sure; he had bought it casually and didn't know much about it.

But there was no doubt he genuinely thought this thirty-eight-yuan keyboard was excellent, hundreds of times better than his previous three-hundred-plus-yuan one!

Lin Bai wondered if he had been sleeping too much these past two days, feeling a bit hazy.

He even specifically opened the original purchase page and checked it against the keyboard he was using.

"It's really different!"

"Although I bought a random style back then, none of the styles included the one I'm using!"

Instead, it was identical to the thirty-eight-thousand-yuan keyboard he had just seen.

Even the description of the feel and usage experience was exactly the same.

"Could it be... the courier made a mistake? My thirty-eight-yuan keyboard and someone else's thirty-eight-thousand-yuan keyboard got mixed up?"

Such a thing seemed far-fetched.

But the probability wasn't zero, so Lin Bai couldn't be certain.

However, his internal doubts grew larger and larger.

"Oh, right, I'll know if the lafite I bought this time is real, won't I?"

Lin Bai quickly thought of a solution.

Before, he wasn't particular about these things, so when he received the goods, he just opened and drank them without paying much attention to the bottles.

Plus, the bottles were all written in English, which he couldn't understand at all, so he didn't bother looking.

This time, he specifically searched online for high-definition images of lafite bottle labels, then took out the bottle of red wine left over from his last drink with Li Yaoyao to compare.

"…"

"Not the same either!?"

"So what is this bottle I'm drinking?"

"Could it be counterfeit????"

Chapter 48: Lin Bai Senses Something Is Wrong? Buys a Silicone Figure!

Just as Lin Bai was feeling suspicious, he took a few more glances at the pictures of lafite wine bottles on his computer, and the more he looked, the more familiar they seemed.

"This... isn't this the one I drank the first time?"

"An extra yuan gets you two bottles of cheap stuff!"

"This 'cheap stuff'... refers to lafite???"

Lin Bai was a bit dumbfounded. Of course, he believed it was just the merchant deliberately imitating lafite's packaging.

How could one buy lafite for one yuan, and two bottles at that!

"But the taste seemed pretty good, could it be real?"

"Could there be a possibility that the boss wanted to make fakes based on real products, but accidentally mixed in some real ones, and I just happened to buy them?"

It didn't seem entirely impossible.

Rather.

Although it was a bit coincidental, it was also quite reasonable.

After all, it's a big world, full of wonders!

"Forget it, I don't know if it's real or fake. Maybe it's just because fake goods are rampant recently, and everything is made to look realistic to attract buyers."

Lin Bai always felt that something was off, but this feeling was subtle, and he couldn't quite grasp it.

"Is the merchant fooling me?"

"But I've only heard of people being fooled by fake goods replacing real ones, not by real goods replacing fake ones."

"No, it's also possible that E-commerce platforms like E-commerce platform and Taobao have big problems."

"Maybe things are just being bought and sent to the wrong people. It can't be that only I'm so unlucky to always receive the wrong items, right?"

"Perhaps e-commerce has been chaotic lately, and not just me, but other people buying things are also experiencing mix-ups. It's just that everyone who receives something of higher value doesn't return it, and those who receive inferior products just return them, so it doesn't cause any problems."

"Probably no one will specifically pursue the issue with e-commerce."

As he scrolled through web pages with a frown.

He accidentally clicked into a page that required persistent access, and looking at the various small ads on the screen, Lin Bai suddenly had an idea.

"Haha, you're sending random stuff, aren't you!"

"I want to see, if I buy this item, who will receive it if it's sent incorrectly, and what will I receive from whom?"

Suddenly feeling that buying things was like opening a blind box, Lin Bai became more interested.

He opened a movie to watch, and at the same time, opened his phone's search page, typed in a certain life-sized silicone product, and started browsing.

"Hmm..."

"Holy crap, so white?"

"This style seems good, those legs, tsk tsk tsk!"

"Wow, they even have Boss Yang's style?"

"One hundred percent realism? Good heavens, I'll take this one!"
