Capítulo 1748: Chapter 1249: United as One
The air in the eting room of Ruixing dical Technology Company seed to have solidified.
Every executive present understood—the success or failure of Professor Yang Ping’s project was not only about the life or death of a research project but also determined whether China’s biodical industry could break free from being constrained by foreign core tools and underlying technologies.
This was both a crisis and an opportunity!
“We cannot let Professor Yang fight alone.” Although Huang Jiacai’s voice was not loud, every word hit ho like iron, “What they are blocking is not just a project group but the future of our entire industry’s upgrade. We must retaliate—in our own way.”
He stood up and walked towards a huge electronic screen, and a complex map of high-end experintal equipnt and reagent supply chains slowly unfolded.
“Launch the ‘Breaking Wall’ plan in advance!” Huang Jiacai said decisively, “Our aim is not rely to provide substitutes but to unite all dostic like-minded colleagues to research, improve, and optimize a complete set of dostic equipnt, instrunts, software, and reagents that et cutting-edge research needs in the shortest possible ti.” He glanced around the room, “We can’t always sip the leftovers; we have to fight for ourselves, take the at from their table, who said the at must always be theirs?”
‘Breaking Wall’—a na full of courage and determination, quickly beca the top priority strategic task within Ruixing. A team of elite engineers, applied scientists, and supply chain experts was ford overnight.
Jiang Jitong received a call directly from Chen Zhi, Ruixing’s chief engineer. After a few hours of in-depth communication, a detailed list of requirents—performance paraters, application scenarios, pains, and difficulties—was swiftly sent to Ruixing.
Soon after, an unprecedented “Industrial Chain Collaborative Tackling Mobilization eting” was being intensively prepared at Ruixing headquarters. Invitations were sent to leading companies in precision instrunts, analysis and testing, biochemical reagents, software developnt, and dozens of other fields, including past competitors or partners with frictions.
On the day of the eting, the largest eting room was packed. The attendees’ expressions varied: curious, solemn, dismissive.
Huang Jiacai skipped the pleasantries and went straight to the point. He demonstrated the specific thods of international giants’ “soft blockades” and their potential threat to Professor Yang Ping’s project group and even China’s biodical innovation. When those once-revered brand nas beca ropes choking their own people, many faces in the audience gradually darkened.
“…That’s the situation.” Huang Jiacai surveyed the room, his voice calm yet penetrating, “I invited everyone today, not to complain or seek aid. I just want to ask one thing: Are Chinese companies destined to forever trail behind others, watching others’ faces, picking up their leftovers?”
He paused montarily, his gaze piercing: “I know many companies here—including Ruixing—have attempted to breach the high-end fortress. What were the results? Either patents kept us out, or products erged but couldn’t succeed due to immature ecosystems and lack of trust. Why? Because we’re a pile of loose sand, fighting alone, lacking the capability for systematic warfare!”
A slight commotion arose below, with so nodding, so furrowing brows.
“Yet now, a golden opportunity lies ahead.” Huang Jiacai raised his voice, “Professor Yang Ping’s project is the best touchstone! His needs represent the most cutting-edge directions in international research. If we unite to help him break through the blockade and complete the research, what does that signify?”
He answered his own question: “It signifies that we’ve proven ourselves! Proved that dostic equipnt, reagents, and software can support world-class scientific research! This will be the most powerful and irrefutable justification for the entire dostic value chain!”
This is an opportunity, an extraordinary opportunity!!!
While the ideal was fervent, reality was cold.
When Huang Jiacai proposed the specific plan—collaborative R&D, resource sharing, and even so companies needing to temporarily forego short-term profits to ensure supply and custom developnt for Professor Yang Ping’s group—doubts and resistance surfaced.
“President Huang, we understand the principle.” President Wang of an East China analytical instrunt factory was the first to speak, with a sense of helplessness in his tone, “But developing high-end equipnt isn’t like inviting soone to dinner; it involves huge investnts and long cycles. Mobilizing core resources for the short-term needs of one project group seems uneconomical. What if performance doesn’t et standards, and massive investnt goes down the drain, damaging our own reputation?”
“Indeed,” echoed President Li of a high-end biochemical reagent firm, “Our enzy preparations and special reagents indeed fall short of international top standards in purity and stability. This isn’t sothing that can be caught up with overnight. Rushing into such a highly demanding task, if we fail, who will bear the loss? We have obligations to our shareholders.”
“And there’s the issue of standards,” added a software company representative, adjusting their glasses, “Each company’s equipnt has different interfaces and protocols. Even if the hardware ets standards, incompatible software results in data remaining isolated—a pile of scrap.”
The eting room was weighed down by reality. Patriotic sentint and industrial ambitions were indeed stirring, but business survival pressures, technological gaps, and past failure experiences bound their hands like invisible shackles, each having its own difficulties and small calculations.
Unity? Easier said than done.
Who doesn’t want to reach for the high-end? Who doesn’t wish to profit like international giants? But the path ahead was fraught with challenges and faint hopes. If failed, not only would all efforts be in vain, but their existing foundation might also be jeopardized. No one wanted to take that risk.
The eting hit an impasse. Huang Jiacai looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar faces below, already understanding their concerns. He empathized with all the worries, but this invisible “wall” had to be torn down.
At that mont, the door pushed open, and Jiang Jitong hurried in—this was a special arrangent by Huang Jiacai. He didn’t let Jiang Jitong prepare a refined PPT, just asked him to truthfully present the project’s real situation.
Standing at the platform, Jiang Jitong’s face bore the fatigue of sleepless nights, yet his eyes were exceptionally clear. He didn’t preach grandiose principles but described the project group’s struggle to survive under blockade truthfully.
He recounted how Liu Yang personally expressed and purified special enzys despite a lack, his hands marked by culture dia; how Chu Xiaoxiao, clutching a heavy record book, repeatedly optimized the conditions of an old flow cytoter, her eyes red from exhaustion; how Wang Chao and He Zijian ran to engineering departnts, tinkering with seemingly ridiculous homade devices alongside professors and students…
“…We know it’s difficult, we know that dostic products might not be as stable or user-friendly as imported ones for now,” Jiang Jitong’s voice was hoarse but powerful, “But we have no retreat! Professor Yang said, this isn’t just the battle of one project group, but a battle of the entire research and industrial system. If we give up, we’ll forever be constrained by others.”
He raised his phone, displaying a few laboratory photos: cluttered lab benches, screens cramd with data curves, and team mbers’ faces showing fatigue yet determination.
“We don’t need perfect tools, we need weapons that can carve a path, even if they’re rougher, bulkier, as long as they work, as long as they can move forward, they’re good!” Jiang Jitong took a deep breath, bowed deeply to the audience, “We beg of you! We need you!”
The room was silent.
His genuine, unadorned speech was like a hamr blow to everyone’s hearts. Calculations about cost, risk, and difficulties suddenly seed pale and narrow in comparison to the do-or-die courage of these young people.
After a long silence, President Wang, who had initially questioned, slowly stood up, rubbing his sour nose with a wry smile: “Dr. Xiao Jiang, say no more… It’s us old folks who have been worn down by the market, forgetting our original intentions.” He turned to Huang Jiacai, his eyes growing firm, “President Huang, our factory will join! Can’t promise much, but we’ll go all out to tackle the optical components for the protein interaction detection module they need!”
“Count us in too!” President Li of the reagent company slapped the table, “Isn’t it just purity and stability? We’ll appoint the best technical team to form a special group, refuse to believe we can’t achieve it! If Professor Yang’s team dares to use ‘homade thods,’ we’re prepared to make ‘homade bombs’!”
“We’ll lead the developnt of temporary standards for software interfaces and protocols!” The software company representative pushed up his glasses, the lens gleaming with the persistence unique to tech people, “We’ll work overti to develop conversion interfaces and an integrated data platform! We won’t let hardware beco data islands!”
The atmosphere in the room transford completely. Previous doubts and resistance were replaced by a long-lost enthusiasm and fighting spirit. Competition, divisions, and calculations lted away, replaced by a mutual understanding: unity is necessary to break the blockade.
One company, two, three… More and more company representatives stood to join. They exchanged contacts, divided responsibilities, and discussed details. The eting room resembled a temporary warti command center, bustling with activity.
Watching the scene, Huang Jiacai’s eyes grew warm and misty.
“Thank you, everyone!” Huang Jiacai’s voice was slightly hoarse from excitent, “Let’s join hands—both for Professor Yang and for ourselves, to smash through this blockade wall!”
“Earlier, everyone was worried about the risks of failure. There are always risks in any business endeavor; high risk, high reward. Such a charge for high ground isn’t risk-free, and failure indeed carries serious consequences, but success brings continuous rewards. Remaining complacent is also risky; everyone in the lowlands competing ultimately stagnates each other.”
“As long as everyone joins the alliance this ti, Ruixing will provide so financial assistance. Additionally, for projects concerning national welfare and people’s livelihood, the state will surely offer us support, such as subsidies, tax breaks, and policy incentives.”
“So now, this is both risk and opportunity!”
The ‘Breaking Wall’ plan thus truly sounded the charge’s horn. A network covering the nation, with cross-domain collaboration and highly unified goals in research and industry, operated at unprecedented efficiency and cohesion.
Behind all this, it wasn’t just driven by business interests, but deeply rooted in the blood, always able to erupt in the darkest monts—unity, and the spirit of overcoming challenges together.
This spirit, perhaps, is the most powerful weapon to penetrate any barrier.
