Yang Ping listened quietly, his fingers rhythmically tapping lightly on the desktop.
Zhang Lin had a broad knowledge base and was indeed strong in receiving and integrating information. Coupled with his eloquence, in non-deep professional interactions or not-so-in-depth professional occasions, he could indeed achieve the effect of passing off the fake as real when dealing with layn or semi-layn. It was not surprising that Zhang Lin’s "combination punch" moved the leadership, who were not top experts in the field.
"Professor, do you think I should be credited with a rit for the institute?" Zhang Lin, seeing Yang Ping remain silent for a long ti, couldn’t hold back and asked tentatively, "Not only did I resolve the crisis, but I also gave our director a lot of face in front of the leadership. Actually, what the leadership said wasn’t that I am talented but that everyone in our institute is talented."
Yang Ping lifted his eyes, looking at Zhang Lin’s expectant expression, which silently scread "praise ." Amused internally, he remained outwardly calm.
"Hmm, I’m aware of the situation." Yang Ping’s tone revealed no pleasure or anger, "Your improvisation was handled relatively well. Not exposing the leader’s identity avoided unnecessary trouble, which is comndable."
Zhang Lin’s face instantly blood into a bright smile, as if he had won the lottery.
But then Yang Ping changed his tone: "However, even with the leader’s appreciation, you should not get carried away. Stay grounded, avoid arrogance and impatience, and continue working hard."
Zhang Lin nodded repeatedly: "Professor, rest assured! I understand! I will definitely avoid arrogance and impetuosity and continue working hard, not bringing sha to our institute. Also... the leader said he hopes to see breakthrough results led by next ti..." His last sentence was softer, tinged with probing and longing.
How could Yang Ping not notice the unsaid words in his tone? He wanted to secure so substantial work in future projects, allowing him to also achieve so results with others.
"Alright, I’ll keep an eye out for suitable tasks for you." Yang Ping didn’t directly respond to his request, "That’s it for today’s matters, don’t broadcast it outside."
"Understood! Understood! Professor, you know my nature, my awareness of confidentiality is the strongest. Once I leave this room, the matter is as good as buried." Zhang Lin imdiately patted his chest in assurance.
"Anything else? If not, get busy." Yang Ping waved him away.
Feeling elated, Zhang Lin left Yang Ping’s office with a spring in his step, feeling as if he had reached a new level in life.
Opportunities co to those who are prepared, and Zhang Lin considered himself a prepared person.
...
With the office quiet once more, Yang Ping shook his head. If Zhang Lin weren’t a doctor, he might have greater prospects in another career.
So might call him a charlatan, but he’s not; he can convey so real concepts compellingly and has actually been researching things like Linked-Learning seriously. Yet, if you were to say he has true ability and learning, in so of the truly cutting-edge fields, he employs a process of deep processing and organization of the information he gathers, passing it off as his own expression.
It’s not just about bluffing his way through in front of leadership; even on a university professor’s podium, he can speak convincingly. Indeed, this person isn’t simple and is talented in certain respects.
Anyway, having such "talent" in the institute isn’t a bad thing. So tasks others can’t handle, he can. Like today’s dealings with the leadership; if it had been Xu Zhiliang or Xia Shu handling it, there wouldn’t have been Zhang Lin’s eloquent and impassioned delivery.
Forget it, forget it, it’s not worth thinking about these things. Yang Ping reined his thoughts back to contemplating the next steps of his project.
After this period of effort, Yang Ping’s new project had achieved a zero breakthrough technically, taking a crucial step forward. Next, besides conducting clinical trials, he also needed to expand the X-2 Enhancer’s research with more vaccines to determine its adaptability boundaries.
Furthermore, establishing a protective moat combining patent and confidentiality technologies was crucial to securing his absolute position in intellectual property.
He had long anticipated that these multinational giants would use various ans to steal technical details, then leverage over a hundred years of experience in intellectual property to register patents ahead of him.
However, Yang Ping wouldn’t give them this chance. Although he was only a research-focused scholar, he had the sharp and capable business acun of Huang Jiacai by his side. Despite only having a high school education, through self-study and international exchanges, Huang Jiacai had accumulated rich knowledge and possessed a strong global perspective.
At this mont, Huang Jiacai had already gathered a group of reliable international top lawyers and engineers to secretly research international patent registration tasks. They had submitted patent applications at the fastest speed, and per Yang Ping’s instructions, this patent system not only built a protective wall in terms of intellectual property but also ensured no technical details were leaked.
To ensure confidentiality, Yang Ping implented a strategy of division in research for core mbers. The overall core concept was temporarily kept in his hands and not disclosed. Once international patent applications were successful, he would reveal the core concept to everyone for learning.
This was not a matter of distrusting the team but a scientific confidentiality strategy. Besides, even if they were inford of the core concept, they wouldn’t fully understand it at this point. Therefore, Yang Ping organized the core concept into an operational superficial process, essentially telling them how to do it without explaining why it was done that way.
Yang Ping’s technologies involved comrcial interests, so he had to handle it this way. If not, new technologies could easily be exploited by others and turned into obstacles against him.
Technical sharing needs to be selective, as having a benevolent heart might end up harming oneself.
Even if competitors obtained these surface processes, it wouldn’t matter, as reproducing Yang Ping’s research outcos would take them considerable ti. It would require replicating the conditions of the laboratory entirely. That’s very difficult because the necessary instrunts, equipnt, and even reagents belonged to the core enterprises of the Wall-breaking Alliance, entirely outside their systems, allowing for blockades by the alliance. Such blockades were already underway.
Additionally, assu they could reproduce the experintal conditions; they’d still be at a disadvantage because they wouldn’t know how to further improve, manage risk, or especially carry out clinical trials, causing them to fall significantly behind at that stage.
Moreover, a major hurdle was that, even if they obtained the complete set of technologies, they couldn’t utilize them for international patent applications. Even if they did apply, Yang Ping’s core concept technology would ultimately overturn their attempts.
Yang Ping had effectively added multiple safety locks to his technology.
The lengthy ti from acquiring and understanding the technology to reproducing results ant that during this period, Yang Ping had already established a patent barrier. To play on a global stage, one must have a global perspective; otherwise, even with excellent technology, it’s easy to beco buried or end up dressing others’ windows.
These international giants were no philanthropists. They proficiently employed various ans, donning the cloak of justice under the protection of public opinion. To counter them, one must learn from them and surpass them. Not only should one understand technology, but also the ga rules, or know those who can establish them.
At this mont, Yang Ping’s phone vibrated; it was Dean Xia’s call.
Having pondered for a long ti, Dean Xia felt it was best to inform Yang Ping about what happened in the laboratory today. Despite Zhang Lin patting his chest, promising to keep it a secret, Dean Xia didn’t believe him; a broadcaster’s nature doesn’t change easily.
Yang Ping picked up the phone, knowing what Dean Xia wanted to say. He smiled faintly. These veteran leaders truly cared for him like family—intending not to disturb him, they opted for discreet laboratory visits, without realizing how moved he was by their actions.
