Chapter 522: Chapter 522: The Unscrupulous Capitalist Chapter 522: Chapter 522: The Unscrupulous Capitalist The dical Alliance headquarters are situated in Myst Town, adjacent to London Port.
At first, Li Qiao thought the dical Alliance was probably a cluster of high-precision dical research buildings akin to dostic research institutes.
It wasn’t until she was there that she realized the entire Myst Town was the headquarters of the dical Alliance.
The town preserved the style of the last century, with European-style spire-roofed houses lining both sides of a cobblestone path.
In front of every house hung a naplate indicating its field of research, creating a distinctive environnt for conducting studies.
Li Qiao walked up the path on foot, her gaze casually sweeping over the area when she saw Su Moshi, wearing a white coat, slowly walking up the sloped path ahead.
With silver-rimd glasses on his face, he walked up to Li Qiao and tapped her forehead with his finger, “Coming over as soon as you said you would, really fits your style.”
Li Qiao tucked her hands into her pockets and shrugged lazily, “I had so free ti, so I ca.”
Su Moshi glanced at her bodyguard behind her, then turned to walk alongside Li Qiao on the idyllic path, “How do you feel about it here, on your first visit?”
“Not bad,” Li Qiao answered truthfully.
Su Moshi smiled and pointed casually at a house brimming with flowers and plants, “Myst Town has been a research base since the last century.
Many internationally renowned research experts have started their careers here.
That house, in particular, is where the Nobel Laureate in Physiology, Lais, once conducted his research.”
Li Qiao followed the direction he pointed and indeed saw an honorary logo hanging in front of it.
Before long, the two arrived at Su Moshi’s office.
Although the exterior had a vintage feel, the room’s facilities were very modern, and nurous high-end dical devices could be seen everywhere.
Su Moshi poured a glass of water for Li Qiao and seamlessly handed her a few docunts, “Here’s so data on manic disorder cases I collected for you, along with so effective managent thods.
You can take a look when you have ti.”
“Thanks.”
Li Qiao took a sip of water and flipped through the docunts, asking casually, “Since this place used to be a research base, why suddenly move?”
Relocating such a large town couldn’t be an overnight affair.
Moreover, such an international dical organization’s sudden change of location could easily lead to speculation from the outside world.
Twirling a pen in his hand, Su Moshi let a wry smile pass over his eyes hidden behind the glasses, “It’s probably a contest of capital forces.”
The dical Alliance is defined as a non-profit organization, which ans to ensure the extensive research by scientific experts, a substantial amount of funding is needed.
Even though the researchers’ inventions may earn quite a bit in patent money, it’s just a drop in the bucket compared to the costly research.
Besides the governnt, there is the donation and investnt of capitalists, all of which are capital powers that reign over the dical Alliance.
Even his father sotis couldn’t contend with capital forces.
In his words, Li Qiao clearly caught Su Lao Si’s compromise and helplessness.
She leaned back in her chair, tapping the glass in her hand, “You don’t want to move?”
“Of course not,” Su Moshi took off his glasses and pinched the bridge of his nose, “Although I spend most of the year away from Myst Town, it took a lot of effort to get the British Imperial Governnt to authorize the use of Myst Town for the dical Alliance.
Relocating now would be like giving up the persistence I had back then.
Moreover, the dical Alliance has been rooted here for many years; moving away would necessitate a joint announcent, which is troubleso just thinking about it.”
Li Qiao glanced at him, then put down the glass in her hand and said sothing surprising, “Then don’t move.”
“What, you have a way?”
Li Qiao raised one corner of her lips, her gaze lowered, “If it’s purely a matter of capital competition, count in.
If there’s more to it, then let the whole dical Alliance go on strike.”
After all, strikes are not common dostically, but in capitalist countries, they are all too normal.
A collective strike by the entire committee and scientists of the dical Alliance, with such overwhelming influence, would be sothing even the most formidable capitalist wouldn’t dare confront head-on.
Su Moshi was taken aback for a mont, then laughed teasingly, “That does sound like a plan.”
“If that’s still not enough, then strike with a march.”
Su Moshi: “…”
In his heart, he silently lit a candle for his dear father.
Su Moshi tossed his glasses onto the table, barely containing his chuckles, “If you actually succeed, then you’ll be a great benefactor of the dical Alliance.”
Li Qiao dismissed the idea with a twist of her mouth, “Didn’t you ask the real reason for the relocation?”
“I did, but my dad didn’t say much, only that changing the environnt would bring better resources and advantages to the dical Alliance.
I’ve inquired secretly, and it seems that a new major investor who entered the capital proposed the relocation as a prerequisite.”
Li Qiao nodded calmly, “It all depends on how much you really need those resources, but this major capitalist clearly has ulterior motives and is probably not any respectable capitalist.”
Offering money and resources while making demands, how respectable could they be?
The disreputable capitalist at Charles Manor: “…”
…
Around noon, Li Qiao had lunch in Myst Town and then followed Su Moshi around the scientific research labs.
“Did you co here alone this ti?” Su Moshi asked, holding a cup of signature fruit juice, glancing sideways at Li Qiao, who was walking and texting.
Li Qiao humd in response, “I wanted to bring Lian Zhen and Academician Jiang with , but there wasn’t enough ti, maybe next ti.”
“What about Xia Lao Wu?” Su Moshi raised an eyebrow.
After sending her ssage, Li Qiao slipped her phone into the back pocket of her jeans and took the juice he offered her, “She said she’s busy and couldn’t co over for the ti being.”
Su Moshi pursed his lips slightly, hands tucked into the pockets of his lab coat, “Mhm, how long do you plan to stay?
The experts in the field of consciousness usually live in the town, so if you want to delve deeper into learning, I can help you arrange that any ti.”
“Let’s start tomorrow then,” Li Qiao said, biting her straw and looking down at the watch on her wrist.
She ca to the British Imperial partly to exchange and study at the dical Alliance, and also with the intention to learn more about the Chairman Family.
With this thought, Li Qiao looked towards a lawn in front of her and inquired in a casual tone, “Have you heard of the Duke Charlman Family?”
Without much hesitation, Su Moshi replied, “Of course, a ducal title bestowed by the Royal Family, and it’s currently the only Asian-descent hereditary Ducal Family.”
“Is the family also in London Port?”
Su Moshi shook his head, “They’re not here.
They’re in Charlman City, nad after their family.
It’s not far from London Port, about a two or three hours’ drive.”
After saying that, he looked at Li Qiao suspiciously and raised his eyebrows, “Why are you suddenly interested in the Chairman Family?”
