In this place, after receiving instructions from Li Hong, large-scale mass production of the Virtual Helmet had already begun.
The previously produced inventory was quickly dispatched to numerous suppliers who had approached them, preparing for market launch.
This was also the reason why Li Hong was not too worried; his factory, employees, and technical data were all in Huaxia. Even if he was restricted in Las Vegas, he could remotely control every move of Sweet Potato Technology through the portable Internet Era.
Now, everything had started to unfold according to the script that had been designed. In a few moments, the Virtual Helmet would be fully launched for sale.
Of course, due to the inability to obtain permits, this market launch was limited to Huaxia only. As for other regions, it seemed unlikely there would be any results until disputes were resolved.
Li Hong felt powerless in this regard. He knew that without permits, their products could not appear in the other party's market. And obtaining those permits was simple: just make the technology public.
Behind the scenes, countless rounds of confrontations had taken place between Huaxia and the United States. In short, neither side had achieved victory.
Li Hong had already been staying in Las Vegas for several consecutive days. The visa he initially obtained was just a one-week work visa. According to the visa duration, it had already expired. However, the U.S. government, being quite accommodating, quickly sent officials to help Li Hong process a new visa.
If it weren't for Li Hong issuing a warning, they might have recklessly processed citizenship for his entire family. Although the conspiracy for citizenship did not materialize due to various negotiations, they still forcibly issued Li Hong a green card—yes, a permanent residency permit.
This left Li Hong speechless. Wasn't this the only superpower on Earth? Couldn't they give him some face?
Really, while others struggled with nationality and found it difficult to obtain green cards, Li Hong now realized this was completely a joke. The reason nationality was hard to acquire and green cards were difficult to obtain was simply that one wasn't strong enough. Once you became strong enough for the other party to shamelessly offer you citizenship, you probably wouldn't even be interested in these matters anymore.
After sending away the troublesome immigration officer, Li Hong sat in the living room with a mix of laughter and tears while holding three green cards—one each for him and Lin Ruxian Yuchen.
This truly showed that they were willing to sacrifice their dignity just to keep him around. The visa extension had been processed smoothly; they even directly granted him permanent residency. If it weren't for his strong opposition and Huaxia's potential backlash, obtaining citizenship would not have been impossible at all.
Ultimately, giving Li Hong a green card was considered the final bottom line for all parties involved. Li Hong could accept this outcome, and so could Huaxia; after all, this would be an issue once he returned home. However, the United States could not accept this; in their view, it would have been best to grant him citizenship directly so they could legitimately keep Li Hong under their control.
Li Hong never expected to cause such a huge mess.
It all started as a spontaneous idea to attend an exhibition in Las Vegas, but he never anticipated that it would lead him into this predicament.
While he himself was stuck in a deadlock, he didn’t mind much; after all, he had plenty of patience to circle around the issue. However, bringing Lin Ruxian and Yuchen into this situation made Li Hong feel guilty.
Seeing Yuchen clearly suffering from the unfamiliar environment, Li Hong's heart nearly shattered.
Lin Ruxian was just as anxious, like an ant on a hot pan. Just a couple of days ago, Yuchen was perfectly fine; how did she suddenly start feeling nauseous and experiencing severe diarrhea?
"What should we do? Should we take her to the hospital?" Lin Ruxian asked Li Hong, who was sitting on the sofa, engrossed in his cigarette.
Under normal circumstances, she wouldn’t have hesitated to call for an ambulance and rush Yuchen to the hospital. But Lin Ruxian understood that their current situation was precarious, and they had to be cautious in their actions.
Li Hong wished he could take Yuchen to the hospital too. Watching his daughter suffer was equally painful for him as a father.
But he knew they couldn’t go to the hospital; once Yuchen was admitted there, she would become a hostage in their enemies' hands.
"No way. If we take her in, Yuchen might never come out again," Li Hong said gravely.
Upon hearing this, Lin Ruxian felt like she was on the verge of breaking down.
After spending so much time together, she had genuinely grown fond of Yuchen, the clever and adorable child. Even though Yuchen wasn’t her biological daughter, Lin Ruxian treated her just like her own, with no difference at all.
Now, watching the lively Yuchen lying sickly on the bed, looking dejected, Lin Ruxian felt just as distressed as Li Hong.
Li Hong also noticed Lin Ruxian's anxiety, and at that moment, he truly felt a sense of relief that he hadn't misjudged her. Lin Ruxian's performance had earned his recognition, and from this moment on, he acknowledged the possibility of her being his wife.
However, this was not the time for such thoughts; Li Hong needed to quickly come up with a way to alleviate Yuchen's suffering.
They had gone through all the available information and arrived at an unbearable conclusion. Yuchen's bodily functions had not fully developed, and coupled with the severe effects of the unfamiliar environment, she needed professional medical treatment at a hospital.
This left Li Hong feeling incredibly frustrated. If he could send her to the hospital, he would have done so without hesitation. But the biggest problem now was that sending Yuchen to the hospital would not save her; it would put her in danger!
Just as they were at their wits' end, the hotel doorbell rang.
Li Hong opened the door to find several doctors carrying medical kits, accompanied by Jebed, whom he had met previously.
Jebed smiled and said, "Mr. Li, do you need help? I heard your daughter is ill, so I specially brought these experts from the best hospital in America..."
"Enough! I don't need you!" Li Hong said, trembling as he tried to dismiss them.
Lin Ruxian was just crying but did not oppose Li Hong's decision.
Li Hong knew that if they accepted their treatment, Yuchen would surely recover. However, what would they do to Yuchen?
He had to protect his daughter!
As Li Hong struggled to contain himself and planned to go out and negotiate with Jebed, hoping to exchange blueprints for a way for their family to return home and get Yuchen treated, an unexpected phone call came in.
Li Hong glanced at the area code at the beginning of the call and instinctively sensed something.
The phone connected, and a familiar voice spoke in Mandarin, "Mr. Li, don't worry, just hold on a little longer! Just a little longer, and our doctor will be able to get in!"
Li Hong knew who was calling. He rasped, "Please hurry, I am a businessman, but I am also a father!"
"I understand, I understand. We will communicate with the U.S. side as quickly as possible. Mr. Li, please give us some time!"
"Alright, just a little while? I'll wait for you!"
After receiving Li Hong's affirmation, the person on the other end quickly hung up the phone, likely to get busy.
A little while to complete communication with the U.S. side and to prepare sufficient medical resources—these tasks were undoubtedly testing their capabilities.
Li Hong had no choice; at this point, he could only trust them. If it came down to a desperate situation, he would not hesitate to throw out the blueprints to save Yuchen.
Li Hong would never forget that blueprint; it was originally given to him by Yuchen. Without Yuchen, the Virtual Helmet would never have come into existence.
