North America was unaware that Huaxia had succeeded in research and development.
After all, the gene technology developed by Chen Hao didn't originate from Tsarist Russia.
One is the most advanced gene decoding and editing.
The other is a third-rate violent fusion of human and animal genes.
Can they be compared?
In short,
both countries possess gene technology, but North America is not only lagging behind in technology but also unaware that Huaxia has already succeeded in its research.
"Do you still have confidence against North America?" Chen Hao asked, looking at everyone.
"We will definitely win!"
Zhang Chi's eyes were like torches: "Huaxia soldiers fear no opponents, and even less North America!"
"Very good!"
Chen Hao patted him: "Depart tomorrow!"
"You... are you going?" Zhang Chi couldn't help but ask.
"Yes."
But not now.
Wasn't there still a few days left before the showdown between Huaxia and North America?
The team needed to familiarize themselves with the environment and venue first.
As for Chen Hao...
a few days couldn't be wasted; he could still push forward with research and development.
It wouldn't be too late to go over before the two countries' showdown.
Besides, shouldn't he make a killing during the World Cup?
Shouldn't he make arrangements in advance?
In addition, Sister Mei's cervical cancer had relapsed.
Now that things were coming to an end here, he might as well visit her today.
Before long,
he got into the car and dialed a number: "Sister, how much funds are in the account?"
"You're donating again?" Xia Qingyan asked subconsciously.
"No."
Chen Hao shook his head: "Gambling on soccer."
How could he miss the opportunity to bet on the World Cup, which only came around every four years?
Of course, he definitely wasn't trying to earn money from within the country, but to invest in various countries abroad.
As long as it was a relatively large soccer gambling pool, Hanteng Capital would have a hand in it, fleecing the world!
"Is it going to work?"
Xia Qingyan frowned: "This... is not the same as shorting US stocks!"
Behind US stocks was North America.
A large force?
At the same time, it was supported by national credibility.
Gambling on soccer was different.
It was illegal in most countries, and if you participated as an outsider, the bookmakers might very well refuse to pay out.
The key was that, with the amount of funds Chen Hao was investing, no single bookmaker could handle it; the funds would inevitably be spread across various countries around the world, and once countless bookmakers refused to pay... how would you get the money back one by one?
"Don't worry."
Chen Hao grinned: "Refuse to pay back the money? Unless they escape the Earth!"
Large bookmakers had funds of billions or tens of billions at every turn.
Could they keep it at home?
They would have to have bank accounts, wouldn't they?
Dare to renege and not pay...
then don't blame me for taking it from your account myself!
Even...
Hack your bank account!
Countries renege?
Battleships sail into your territorial waters, fighter planes fly into your airspace; try reneging if you dare!
The World Cup's wool, I'm going to fleece it for sure!
Chen Hao hung up the phone and once again fell into thought.
Now, Huaxia had become the global economic center, earning huge profits in countless fields.
The country had money, no longer needing him to subsidize it everywhere like before.
Hanteng Capital had accumulated a large amount of funds during this period.
When the World Cup ended...
the amount of funds would inevitably skyrocket again!
Money was meant to be spent.
What was the point of leaving it in the account?
At the thought of this,
he dialed General Wang's number: "What's the extent of domestic infrastructure construction?"
"All ten major highways are open to traffic, and more highways have been invested in and built at the same time. High-speed rail will also be open to traffic soon, but nuclear power plants will take some time..." General Wang, who was on his way to the airport, immediately reported carefully.
Not only was there infrastructure invested in by Chen Hao,
but with the country's abundant funds, more infrastructure construction had already begun.
Large bridges and tunnels.
The South-to-North Water Diversion Project.
There was too much!
General Wang couldn't remember everything.
In short, most of Chen Hao's large-scale infrastructure projects from his previous life had already started construction ahead of schedule in this life.
Huaxia had always taken three steps while taking one, and many projects had already been planned, but they couldn't start due to insufficient funds.
Now that there was money,
they were launched immediately!
With the current national strength and financial resources, projects worth hundreds of billions or even trillions no longer needed Chen Hao to worry about, let alone his financial support.
Then...
"I'm going to the capital tomorrow. Help me make an appointment with the old man. Also..."
Chen Hao's mind moved: "No! I'll go find someone first. Don't make an appointment with the old man either—we'll talk about it later!"
There were two super projects coming up.
One was the nuclear fusion power station.
Previously, the first phase invested in the construction of 30 units, but that was only enough to meet domestic electricity demand.
He wanted to control the global electricity supply!
30 units?
Far from enough!
The second phase could begin.
As for the other super project...
the investment was huge.
The amount of work was unimaginable.
But once it was completed, it would change the entire Northwest.
Benefiting the present and benefiting future generations!
Just as he was talking to General Wang, he suddenly thought of someone.
The second project needed that person's participation.
Although Chen Hao could solve it himself, given the project's scale and long time span, it was impossible for him to participate throughout—could he just halt all the other research projects?
...
Ruijin Hospital.
Inside the special care ward, Sister Mei lay in bed, her eyes vacant.
After taking targeted drugs, her cervical cancer had been effectively controlled, and escaping death made her realize the importance of health.
No matter how busy she was with work, she would get regular checkups.
A few days ago,
a checkup revealed that her cervical cancer had relapsed, and the tumor had clearly increased in size!
The doctor said that the targeted drugs had developed resistance.
The remaining treatment options were...
either to remove the uterus.
Needless to say!
She would never choose that path, even if she died!
Or, chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
More than a year ago, when she had just been diagnosed with cancer, she had read relevant materials.
The side effects of chemotherapy and radiation therapy...
gastrointestinal reactions!
Liver and kidney damage!
Neurotoxicity!
Most deadly were hair loss and physical weakness.
She had always aspired to perfection, and the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation therapy would have a huge impact on her image.
"Amei."
Beside the hospital bed,
her brother was by her side, constantly comforting her: "Cooperate with the treatment, don't think so much. Look at me back then..."
Sister Mei lay in bed, not saying a word.
"Sister Mei."
Suddenly!
The door to the ward was pushed open from the outside, and Chen Hao walked in.
"Ah Hao?"
Sister Mei was stunned, and murmured: "Why are you here? I... I didn't want to disturb your work..."
"Let's go, go check out of the hospital." Chen Hao walked to the bed with a smile.
"Ah?!"
Hearing him say that, her brother was startled: "Ah Hao, that won't do! Amei's condition has relapsed, she needs treatment..."
"Taking medicine will do." Chen Hao said.
"It's useless..."
Sister Mei smiled bitterly and grabbed his hand: "Ah Hao! Thank you for letting me live for more than a year. Being able to know a friend like you is my greatest luck—I've lived very fulfillingly in this year and more."
"I said, taking medicine can control it."
Chen Hao didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Why was Sister Mei acting like she was giving her last words?
"Drug resistance has appeared..."
"Then take second-generation targeted drugs."
"Second generation?"
Sister Mei was stunned, then shook her head: "The doctor said that there's currently only one type of targeted drug for cervical cancer on the market..."
Suddenly!
She stopped halfway through her sentence.
She looked at Chen Hao in surprise: "Are you saying..."
"The cervical cancer targeted drug on the market was launched after you started taking medicine." Chen Hao smiled.
