Chapter 307
After Olivia left, the First Elder gathered everyone so he could say something. Greg had just returned from outside. As soon as he reached the entrance, he heard the word graphene.
The Capitol Research Institute now has a technology that can more conveniently and cheaply produce a large amount of graphene. The First Elder’s voice was a little excited. He needed to hold the cup tightly to calm his emotions. “Graphene applications have a wide range of prospects. It has important application. prospects in optics, electricity, materials science, micro–nano processing, energy, biomedicine, and drug transmission.
“If we have this technology in our hands, we can limit the supply of graphene from the source. If any of the subsequent industries want graphene, they have to buy it from us. This is equivalent to owning oil. It’s a profitable business.” Jonny and Larson had backgrounds in consortiums, so they were very sensitive to this. Hence, from the moment they heard what the First Elder said, they realized the value of the technology.
They could not help but feel excited.
Greg was still calm. He asked, “Why didn’t I hear anything?” Every scientific research would have a thesis published, but there was no news about the technology to produce graphene.
Robert Watson, the head of the Watson family, was the vice dean of the Capitol Research Institute. He knew more about this
matter and explained. “This technology has always been carried out in secret. Because it involves competition. between countries and strategic planning, it has never been announced to the public. The research institute wants to choose powerful companies in the country and give them exclusive authorization.”
“Exclusive authorization?” Jonny’s heart tightened. He stubbed out the cigarette in his hand, and the barely–restrained storm in his eyes surged. “Is the information. accurate?”
Upon hearing this, Robert glanced at Jonny and said coldly, “Are you questioning
me?”
“I wouldn’t dare. Of course not,” Jonny smiled. He looked like he was apologizing, but he did not hold back the aggressiveness in his words. “Although you are the vice dean of the research institute, there are four vice deans in the research. institute. I may trust you, but you’re not in charge after all. This is a matter of great importance. It’s normal for me to be a little worried.”
Robert looked at Jonny with a displeased expression.
Upon seeing this, the First Elder frowned and said unhappily, “Don’t go off–topic.” He looked at Robert. “Is the dean still not showing up?”

Speaking of the dean of the Capitol Research Institute, Robert’s expression turned serious and his tone was a little wary. “He didn’t show up. I wonder where Mr. Switt found such a powerful person. The dean is simply amazing. His methods. and intelligence are top notch. When he first took over the research institute, everyone was still unconvinced, but in just a few years, he expanded the research institute’s power by more than ten times,
“The current Capitol Research Institute has already become a place where the dean has the only say. The dean’s prestige is extremely high, and no one dares to question him.”
Even Robert, who had always been thinking about becoming the dean himself, admires the dean and admitted that he was inferior to him.
However, the strange thing was that the dean rarely appeared. Other than the chiet secretary, no one knew who the dean was.
Robert had made use of his identity as the vice dean to investigate the matter for a long time, but he was still unable to find any news regarding the dean.
The First Elder frowned and reminded Robert, “You have to put in more effort. You have to rope in the dean. Next year will be the year of the change. The
research institute is very important to the Grant family.”
Zelen had been standing quietly behind the First Elder like a shadow.
When the First Elder was discussing matters with others, she rarely spoke. But now, she suddenly thought of an important piece of news.
“Mr. Watson.” Zelen pinched her fingers. “The Mr. Swift you mentioned just now, are you referring to Mr. Swift in West Hill Sanatorium in Layfield?”
Robert was stunned for a moment before nodding. “Yes.”
