Chapter 517: Chapter 519: Bringing You Down
Upon hearing this, Qin Hao’s brows furrowed slightly—the Robert and Ross families?
No wonder the Zhou Island Delegation behaved that way; it turns out they were influenced by these two giants of the business world.
These two families hold significant clout not just in the Northern Federation, but also in the Zhou Island region.
They are involved in various sectors including banking, finance, electronics, pharmaceuticals, oil, chemical, steel, catering, and entertainment.
For example, Baokang Group and Baodian Group from Zhou Island both have shares owned by these two families.
Because of the close relationship between the Zhou Island region and the Northern Federation, to gain support from the Federation in various aspects, their markets are completely open to the Northern Federation, leading to many important industries being controlled by the business oligarchs of the Northern Federation.
...
This was also the reason why Xuan Country was reluctant to open up more deeply in the past, as having these industries controlled by them could severely impact the domestic economic lifelines.
If they wished, they could send Xuan Country’s economy into a significant recession and leave everyone unemployed at any time.
It’s not even about everyone being unemployed; an unemployment rate above twenty or thirty percent could easily lead to riots.
This incident made Qin Hao realize just how terrifying the strength of the Robert and Mosi families was.
In the past, he had only heard of these families as business tycoons, not fully aware of the extent of their influence, but now he had truly felt it.
In the eyes of such business oligarchs, there were no friends, only interests.
Li Bao’s motorcade brought Qin Hao back to the Haoting Sea View Villa District, and both Zhao Yuying and Han Meng breathed a sigh of relief to see him return.
Seeing Qin Hao’s hairstyle, Zhao Yuying couldn’t help but laugh; it was indeed somewhat comical.
Not long after his return, he received a call from his parents: “Has Xiao Hao come back?”
Qin Hao replied with a smile, “Mom, everything’s fine now, I’m back.”
Mrs. Qin, clearly displeased, said, “Can’t you be more careful with your actions in the future and not worry me so much? I was nearly scared to death.”
Qin Hao felt a bit guilty, “It’s all right, Mom, it won’t happen again.”
Mrs. Qin spoke earnestly, “As long as you’re safe. Child, I saw the news online; having too much money isn’t necessarily a good thing.”
She was the beloved princess of the Li Family and had been exposed to much in her youth.
In Xuan Country, having a lot of money really wasn’t always a good thing.
Qin Hao: “Mom, I know. Don’t worry about these things.”
After hanging up, Qin Hao soon received calls from Xu Siyao and Li Moying, who updated him on Chang Anding’s situation.
Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Qin Hao’s eyes; it seemed necessary to do some cleaning up.
Also, the shares of the Southern Military Industry Group—he didn’t plan to keep them either. If there was a first time, there would be a second; a cleanup was essential.
You had the chance to make money, but you didn’t seize it, and instead, you want to stab me in the back? Very well.
After dinner, Qin Hao sat on the sofa watching TV, and Han Meng came over to massage his shoulders after tidying up.
“Meng, no need to massage anymore. Have a seat and rest a while, watch TV for a bit,” Qin Hao told her.
Zhao Yuying: “Yeah, Meng, take a break.”
As Han Meng sat down on the sofa, Qiao’er sat next to Qin Hao, hugging his arm and watching TV.
It was the seven o’clock news time, and they briefly reported on Qin Hao’s incident. Jide Pharmaceuticals and Qiangsheng Pharmaceutical, accused of defamation, slander, and offenses against national sovereignty, had been arrested.
Both pharmaceutical companies had also been sealed off, with their company funds frozen.
Meanwhile, Qin Hao also noticed another piece of news: a scientist from the Xuan Country Academy of Sciences’ Medical Department had developed a new type of drug that could treat leukemia. It was low-cost and highly effective.
This drug was researched and developed from anti-cancer drug technology at Xuan Science Academy.
The anti-cancer drug technology that Qin Hao produced was no ordinary technology; it included the combined effects of various types of drugs.
For those in the medical department, a whole new world had opened up. They were fully capable of using that legal method, applying it to other drug research.
…
The people at the Xuan Science Academy’s medical department were the top talents in the country, and they had everything they needed, be it personnel or resources.
Once they mastered the method, the speed of their research and development would be extremely terrifying.
After seeing this news, Qin Hao decided to lend a hand. Wasn’t this incident just about those pharmaceutical companies? If you want to mess with me, don’t blame me for taking you all down.
He began browsing the system’s marketplace and found the pharmaceutical category, which was filled with all kinds of common drug research technologies.
Common drug research technology manual, exchange required: 900,000 achievement points.
This was the manual for research technologies of various drugs within the pharmaceutical industry, not for a single drug’s research technology, but rather it taught you the research methods for all drugs.
Qin Hao had seen it before but it was too expensive, and he had limited funds.
Now that he was not short on money, he made a phone call to Chang Jing, “Donate six hundred million under my name to the Xuan Country Charity General Association.”
Chang Jing, “Mr. Qin, is that in Federation currency or Xuan Country Coin?”
Qin Hao, “Xuan Country Coin. Notify all board members to convene a shareholders’ meeting tomorrow; those who do not attend will bear the consequences.”
“Understood, Mr. Qin.”
Less than five minutes after hanging up the phone, Qin Hao’s long-term points increased by four hundred thousand achievement points.
For every 1500 donated, you get an achievement point, and six hundred million was exactly four hundred thousand achievement points.
He initially had six hundred and thirty thousand achievement points, and with these four hundred thousand, it summed up to one million and thirty thousand.
Qin Hao chose to exchange, and his system inventory gained a new book: Common Drug Research Technology Manual.
After he chose to learn, he just felt a surge of vast information flooding in, causing his brain to momentarily pause.
As the capacity of a human brain is limited, if it weren’t for his slightly high intelligence attribute, he wouldn’t have been able to learn so much information.
It looks like I’ll need to invest more in intelligence in the future, he thought, having digested the knowledge.
Qin Hao stood up and said, “I’m going to the study. If you’re tired, go to sleep early.”
Arriving at the study, Qin Hao turned on his computer and started a new document to write down the knowledge from his mind.
Since he didn’t need to think, he typed very quickly, much like transcribing, without the need to ponder over anything else.
Around eleven at night, Zhao Yuying came in with a cup of hot coffee, “Are you almost done with your writing?”
“Almost, I’ll be done soon. Why aren’t you asleep yet, Ying?” Qin Hao asked while continuing to type.
Zhao Yuying placed the coffee in front of him, “I can’t sleep.”

Qin Hao, “Meng and Qiao’er are asleep, right?”
Zhao Yuying sat down beside him, “Qiao’er went to bed early, Meng just fell asleep.”
Ten minutes later, Qin Hao had almost finished writing. He took a sip of the coffee from the table. It was bitter with a touch of sweetness, a very nice flavor.
Zhao Yuying asked with a smile, “Do you like it? I bought this coffee from a coffee shop.”
Qin Hao nodded, “Silky smooth, rich and full-bodied, with a light sweetness amidst the bitterness, the taste is very good.”
“Is it really as good as you say? I didn’t taste all that,” she said, picking up the cup and taking a gentle sip.
