As the person behind the scenes, Wan Feng was not convenient to appear during the negotiations between Cheng Gong and Component Factory No. 5. Even if he appeared, he would only be there to listen.

Therefore, when Cheng Gong and Tan Sheng came to discuss cooperation with the Fifth Component Factory, he took Han Guangjia and Yang Jianguo for a stroll in Shanghai.

Because of the previous contact over a month ago, and Cheng Gong's identity as coming from the Fifth Factory, the negotiations on cooperation with the Fifth Component Factory went very smoothly.

The two parties signed a cooperation contract in just two days.

The first batch of Huaguo No. 1 chips was produced in a quantity of 100,000 pieces. Since it was not the most advanced chip in the world, the cost of producing this chip was not high.

Usually the cost of a chip is equal to one-tenth of the retail price. For example, an Intel 486 chip currently has a market price of several hundred yuan, but its cost may be less than one hundred yuan.

The total cost of Huaguang No. 1's chip, including the cost of the mask, packaging, testing and processing fees, is less than fifteen yuan per chip.

At that time, the price of similar 286 chips on the market was still as high as more than 200 yuan.

The price of 386 chips is still around 500 to 600 yuan.

Wan Feng didn't expect to make money from this chip, as long as he didn't lose money. Now it seems that there is still some profit.

After the contract is signed, Cheng Gong will stay here for a while to provide product guidance until the other party produces qualified products.

Wan Feng and the other two had almost finished their tour of Shanghai and were ready to go back.

When Wan Feng was about to go back, he went to Beijing for a visit. He had some things to discuss.

Just as the three were about to go back, Wan Feng received a call from Zhang Shiqian, asking him to attend the branch factory opening ceremony.

The completion of the branch factory is within the plan and should be completed by now.

At this time, the third production line of 200,000 engines at Nanwan Plant was put into operation, and the production line of 100,000 engines was also replaced.

Just pull this line to Dongguan for installation.

The two production lines with a capacity of 50,000 units that were replaced earlier have been moved to Dongguan by Zhang Shiqian.

Wan Feng suddenly decided to go to Dongguan first, and then carry it to Beijing.

What was even more coincidental was that less than five minutes after Zhang Shiqian called Wan Feng, Xia Yingying also called Wan Feng.

Wan Feng's mobile phone, which usually didn't ring more than twice a month, rang twice in ten minutes for the first time.

Xia Yingying called and said that a foreigner wanted to talk to him.

This surprised Wan Feng a little.

Foreigners looking for him? Among the foreigners he knew most were Soviet people.

If it was a Soviet, it would be understandable, but he didn't know any foreigners except Soviets.

The Soviets naturally would not contact him through Xia Yingying, as there was no contact between them at all.

Besides, the Soviets have no time to look for him now. They are in the midst of chaos, so how can they have time to deal with him?

The only foreigners found through Xia Yingying's relationship were probably Curit and Card from Helan.

What were these guys trying to talk to me about? Cooperation?

It seems unlikely. It's been less than two months and you're planning to discuss cooperation with me?

It seems like time has passed too quickly! Even if we want to talk about it, they should have come next year, right?

If it is a cooperation, it would be a great joy.

Before leaving, Wan Feng gave Cheng Gong and Tan Sheng some instructions, and then he flew directly to Guangzhou with Han Guangjia and Yang Jianguo.

On September 15, Wan Feng and his two companions appeared in Datan Village, Dalingzi Township, Dongguan.

The industrial base named Xidayuan by Zhang Shiqian has already taken shape.

Everything here, from the style and layout of the factory construction to the sewage and dust treatment, is almost copied from Nan Da Wan.

When Wan Feng entered Xidawan, he unexpectedly discovered that there were several small factories in this mountain bay.

Obviously, these are a few small factories that make accessories for motorcycles.

The architectural style is the same as that of Nandawan. In order to save land, the workshops of these small factories also adopt a three-story building structure, which can save a lot of unnecessary land.

Not all of these small factories produce motorcycle parts. One of them is a branch of Master Kong instant noodles, which has nothing to do with motorcycles.

As soon as Wan Feng arrived here, he saw Xia Qiulong who was building an instant noodle factory here.

"Brother! You're here! I haven't seen you in a long time."

Xia Qiulong came up and gave Wan Feng a bear hug, which made Wan Feng very depressed.

When did this guy learn the Russian tricks?

"Brother Xia! How long have you been out here?"

"It's been more than half a year. I've been staying in this mountain valley for more than half a year."

"Why didn't I see you the last time I came? I know everyone on your construction site."

"Last time? About a month and a half ago? Didn't I go to Guangzhou? When I came back, Brother Zhang said you were gone. I was so depressed."

"Hey! Brother! You've been here for half a year. Aren't you afraid that sister-in-law will find someone to help you? You're really bold."

"I knew you'd rush into a vicious situation before you could finish your sentence. I know your sister-in-law better than you do. She's not that kind of person. Hey, kid, you're also a shareholder in this instant noodle factory. Why don't you care about the construction of this branch factory at all?"

"Who said I don't care? I've already prepared suggestions for the development of instant noodles. How can you call that indifference?"

Xia Qiulong was puzzled: "What advice? How come I don't know?"

Of course you don’t know, I haven’t told you yet!

"Now, in addition to our instant noodles, other manufacturers have begun to produce them on the market. We can't rest on our laurels and rely on just one product to conquer the world. Our next step is to develop a new type of instant noodles and aim to launch it by the end of next year or in the spring or summer of the year after. I've already picked a name for it: Lao Tan Pickled Cabbage Noodles."

"Traditional Chinese Pickled Cabbage Noodles? Where's the recipe?"

"There's no formula. Didn't I tell you to develop it?"

"It hasn't been developed yet? How much research funding does it take to develop this type of noodles?"

Wan Feng thought for a moment and said, "According to current prices, it would probably cost several million!"

Don’t think that researching a brand of instant noodles is easy, the investment would be in the millions.

The combination of flavors requires countless experiments, and quality safety is of paramount importance.

Fortunately, when the instant noodle factory was first established, Wan Feng asked Xia Qiulong and others to pay attention to the construction of the scientific research team.

The person in charge of building the scientific research team is Liu He, who has established a scientific research team of dozens of people.

"Oh my god! Millions!" Xia Qiulong was a little shocked.

"Since I'm a hands-off person at the instant noodle factory, I'll cover one-third of the cost of this research. The five of you can cover the remaining two-thirds, right? This can be considered as some compensation for your hard work."

"How can this be so embarrassing? We are all brothers."

"Don't bring this up. I've said it before, brothers should settle accounts clearly, so that our brotherhood can last long. Even though you don't say it, I know it in my heart. So it's settled."
