Chapter 38 Thirty-eighth Patent



If a mobile phone that can smell is really made, it will be a truly revolutionary invention.

But the people at the scene simply couldn't imagine how to implement such a fantastic online joke.

“How can a cell phone smell?”

Dai Li raised her lips and smiled, without further explanation, she picked up the tablet and opened a video, then handed it to Wu Xuelin, who placed it in front of everyone.

"Why don't we watch a video first."

She chose a food video. The cooking blogger was very famous on the Internet and had tens of millions of fans.

The biggest characteristic of this food blogger is his extreme passion for food and his pursuit of perfection in every detail. He is not only proficient in the eight major cuisines, but also travels and studies in China and abroad, presenting food from all over the world to his fans.

His videos are of high quality, and each video has a high number of views. The audience who watch his videos are likely to be drooling.

In today's video, he made the famous Hakka dish, kiln-baked chicken.

The blogger's setting, shooting, editing and transitions are all very professional. His cooking movements are neat and tidy, and every frame is very healing.

As they watched, almost everyone forgot the purpose of Dai Li clicking on this video.

When the blogger took the whole chicken out of the earthen kiln and peeled off the outer layer of tin foil, a strong and fragrant aroma of meat hit him in the face.

The people present were so engrossed in watching that they hadn't reacted yet, thinking it was the aroma of cooking wafting over from the kitchen.

Under the dual stimulation of vision and smell, everyone swallowed unconsciously.

"What delicious food are we going to eat tonight? It smells so good."

"Is it time to eat? I'm hungry."

"This aroma from our kitchen arrived just in time, coinciding with the video we were watching."

"Oh, yes, it tastes like roast chicken."

After the chicken came out of the kiln, a few clips of the blogger eating the chicken were edited, and the food video was completed.

The rich aroma of baked chicken that had just lingered in everyone's nose and aroused everyone's appetite suddenly ceased.

At the same time, the scene fell into dead silence.

Everyone was shocked.

No one needed to explain, everyone guessed that the smell they smelled just now was not coming from the kitchen. They also remembered that it was less than two hours after lunch at this time, and it was impossible for the kitchen to make roast chicken.

Cao Yufei is still a little dazed and feels a little dreamy, but everything in front of him tells him that it is the truth.

"Boss, how did you do it?" He wanted Dai Li to help him solve the problem.

More than ten pairs of eyes looked at Dai Li with a strong desire for knowledge.

"We all know that smells are volatile substances, gases, or small molecules. The smells we can smell, such as our favorite foods, women's favorite perfumes, freshly printed ink, etc., cannot be composed of a single or a few small molecules. They must be complex gases composed of countless small molecules."

"Our sense of smell is like a sensor that receives signals from small molecules and transmits them to our brain for processing. In our powerful brain, countless small molecules become the smell we smell."

"The reason why the smart device I invented allows you to smell is also because it utilizes small molecules. I have input a large amount of odor data into the system. When the user needs it, they can turn on the odor switch. The system will automatically detect whether the video being played will produce an odor. Then, using a built-in algorithm, it will match the component molecules of the substance and recreate the smell of the scene."

Her explanation was a bit abstract, and the people present thought about it for a long time before they roughly understood the principles she explained.

Cao Yufei: "Boss, can you simulate any taste?"

Dai Li: "You can try watching other videos."

Upon hearing this, some of them picked up their phones, some picked up their tablets, and searched for a lot of videos online.

Then they discovered.

The pork stewed with vermicelli made by my aunt from Northeast China is so delicious.

The mountain is filled with the fragrance of the fragrant osmanthus flowers.

Penguins in the animal world are very cute, but their poop is really smelly.

Whether it is a gas station they pass by, a market street in the early morning, or a fish pond being fished, as long as there is a scene or object that appears in the video, they can smell the smell as if they were there.

"So, you can smell not only delicious food, but other scents too?"

Dai Li: "The principle is the same. If the person filming also uses a device that can collect odor molecules, the smell the user smells will be more accurate. For example, in a food video, the aroma is basically the same as what the blogger smells."

Cao Yufei: "Does that mean we can also sell filming equipment? It will definitely be popular in the market."

"I also think the market will be popular. For example, my girlfriend likes to buy niche perfumes, but she often makes mistakes when shopping overseas based solely on advertisements and reviews. If the review bloggers or the advertising shoots use equipment that can collect odor molecules, she will not make such mistakes so often in the future."

"I agree with this. Smell is a very personal preference. What others like or say is fragrant may not be acceptable to you. If we make professional photography equipment, it will definitely become a hot commodity in the market."

Wu Xuelin was more sober-minded and less idealistic than them: "The professional photography equipment market is already divided up by several giants. There's no need for us to grab a piece of the pie. The profits won't be as lucrative as what we can make selling technology."

Dai Li agreed: "As long as our mobile phones are sold, they will attract the attention of manufacturers like the energy harvester and they will buy our scent molecule chip patent."

Just by listening to their description, everyone can already foresee the response that will be caused when the mobile phone is launched in the future.

They can't wait to see the results.

Cao Yufei: "Boss, when will our mobile phone be released?"

Dai Li: "That depends on when you can complete the system. Once you have completed the system, we can release it at any time."

Everyone in the technical department was surprised.

Cao Yufei: "You mean, let us make the mobile phone system?"

"Isn't that your specialty?" Dai Li raised an eyebrow and turned to ask Wu Xuelin, "Wu Xuelin, the system is in your hands. Is it okay for you to take the lead?"

Wu Xuelin was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted and said, "Don't worry, boss, I will definitely help you with what you asked me to do. I promise not to let your invention down."

Dai Li smiled with satisfaction and said to everyone, "Okay, now your main job is to work on the mobile phone system. Put down your work for the time being, including you, Wu Xuelin. I will find someone to connect with you."

After she left, the people who remained were confused.

No one knew why she had arranged this event today.

The company is now overwhelmed with work, and everyone wishes they could split up into two people to do the work. I can’t imagine whether the company can still operate normally if eleven people are missing all of a sudden.

"Boss, what does the boss mean? Why did he ask all of us to work on the mobile phone system?"

"I think the one the boss has made now is very easy to use. It's much more comfortable than the flagship systems on the market. It's incomparable to Song Ji. It can be released directly. Why do we need to remake it?"

Just as the people in the technical department said, the system made by Dai Li is very complete and contains a lot of clever ideas. Many users will like her design style. It is a very perfect and mature system and there will be no problem in selling it directly.

Even if Dai Li was not satisfied with the system she wrote casually and wanted to optimize it to perfection, she could do it herself. Not only would she do it more perfectly, but she would also be more efficient and could save a lot of time.

The most inefficient and wasteful thing to do is to let their team spend longer time to build a system that is far inferior to Dai Li's.

"Why do you think she did this?" Wu Xuelin asked with a meaningful smile.

Cao Yufei said in disbelief, "Boss, are you saying that the boss wants us to defeat Yundu on our own?"

Dai Li herself has no grudges against Yun Du. Previously, it was a rift between Wu Xuelin and Song Ji, and now it is a contest between the technical department and Song Ji.

Only if Wu Xuelin leads the technical department to defeat Song Ji, that will be their true victory.

Moreover, their team once had many ideas that they wanted to realize, but they could not be realized because of Song Ji, which became a regret for all of them.

The opportunity before them now is a perfect opportunity to implement their original ideas one by one and make up for their past regrets.

Wu Xuelin: "You understand her good intentions, don't you? Work harder and don't let her down."

The people in the technical department were filled with gratitude: "How could we be so lucky to have such a good boss."

"Not only do they pay us high salaries, but they also care about us so much."

Wu Xuelin sternly corrected them: "It's not you who have met a good boss, it's me who has met a good boss."

He proudly showed his porcelain-white teeth: "You are all thanks to me."

Not only the employees in the technical department benefited from this, but also Wu Xuelin’s roommate.

Among those who came to the exhibition to help before was Wu Xuelin’s roommate. Now his roommates have all started working, and their salaries are also not low, almost twice as high as their classmates.

At first, the roommates suspected that Dai Li was running a fraudulent company and worried that Wu Xuelin would be deceived into cutting her kidneys. Now, every time they think about it, they are very grateful that Wu Xuelin had his own opinions and was not persuaded by them.

Otherwise, as fresh graduates, how could they find such a good job in Daili Company?

On that day, Dai Li asked someone to take over the work in the technical department.

The working environment has a huge impact. The efficiency of the technical department is more than twice as high as that in Yundu, and their work enthusiasm has also been greatly improved.

Making mobile phone systems is their forte. They have worked together in Yundu for four or five years. Only Wu Xuelin came late, but he quickly got along well with them. Everyone has a clear division of labor and a very good understanding of each other.

In addition, they were not starting from scratch. Many things had been discussed repeatedly in meetings and had already taken shape.

Now that Song Ji is no longer there to block us, we don’t have to worry about funding and technical bottlenecks.

Dai Li told them to go ahead and do their work, and that they could come to her for help with any problems they had.

But they ran into trouble when designing the chip.

"Boss, do we really have to design our own chips?"

Wu Xuelin: "Why, you don't dare to design?"

"Of course not. We are studying microelectronics and integrated circuits."

At the beginning, many of them wanted to work in a large technology company to make chips and design the world's best chips. In the end, they were forced by reality to go to Song Ji's company.

"Then don't think about anything else. Just focus on designing chips. Use all your talents that have been unused for all these years. Show the boss if you're worthy of the title of top student from Peking University or Tsinghua University."

They are still anxious and still can't concentrate on designing chips, because designing chips is not the most difficult part, the more difficult part is manufacturing them.

"Boss, it's not that we don't dare to design, we're just afraid that even if we design it, we won't be able to make it."

Several others agreed.

No matter how powerful the chips they design are, if they cannot find a top electronic equipment company to undertake the production, their chips will not be able to be produced.

Therefore, they look ahead and behind, wanting to design chips with high performance while also considering the level of development of the domestic semiconductor industry.

Wu Xuelin: "Didn't the boss tell you to just go ahead and do it? She can handle any other problems."

"Boss, can you even solve the problem of semiconductors?"

"You still don't believe in her ability?"

The people in the technical department did not dare to doubt it, because Dai Li might really be able to solve the semiconductor problem. With her ability, it would not be surprising if she could come up with anything.

As long as they don't see the chip being manufactured, they will feel uneasy.

The good thing is that they are no longer bound by their hands and can really free themselves to design chips.

No matter whether it can be manufactured into a chip in the end, they just design it for fun first. Maybe their boss can really give them a surprise.

Wu Xuelin managed to calm the situation in the technical department, but he was actually unsure about what to do. He went back to find Dai Li alone and asked her about the chip problem.

Dai Li: "I was just looking for you. Follow me to a place."

Wu Xuelin: "Where are you going?"

Dai Li casually picked up her bag and said, "Let's go see the chip your technical department has been thinking about."

The electronic equipment company previously established with Guan Honghou and e-ne has already been on the right track.

e-ne's first batch of chips were also produced. After the chips came out, they began to optimize their own systems and design new versions of chips, so the release date of the panoramic helmet was postponed again and again and has not been finalized.

In the electronic equipment company, Haizhou looked like he hadn't slept for three days and three nights, and looked like he was about to die suddenly at any moment.

Seeing Dai Li was like seeing a savior.

"Miss Dai, I haven't seen you for a long time. Why did you come just now?"

"How many days has Mr. Hai not slept?"

Haizhou yawned, "Don't mention it, it's been four or five days."

Dai Li was sure that if she didn't rest for four or five days in a row, Sister Tu would dare to smash her computer with a rolling pin.

"No matter how busy you are at work, you must rest on time."

"I do want to rest. The company has been scalping me for two weeks, so he let me rest." Hai Zhou gritted his teeth and said, "Evil capitalists."

"You're really good at turning the tables," Song Jingshan, who was in the office, couldn't stand it any longer and pushed the door open. "It was clearly you who repeatedly overturned and revised the plan. Lao Yuan and I never complained about you missing work and always supported your ideas. It was you who wanted to stay and work overtime. I told you several times to go home, take a shower, and get a good night's sleep. You're already smelly. Did you listen?"

"That's because you and Lao Yuan keep staring at the financial reports every day, saying how much money has been invested every day. Now, because of me, our company has not yet made a profit. There is still a lot of Miss Dai and Mr. Guan's money in the company. How can I not be anxious?"

Song Jingshan sighed helplessly. He knew why Haizhou was fighting so hard.

It's not that he and Yuan Heng deliberately stare at the financial report every day, they are really anxious. They have invested so much money but have not seen any returns. If the capital chain breaks one day, all their money will be wasted.

Dai Li: "So I'm here to give you money again."

Song Jingshan was puzzled: "Miss Dai, why are you here to give me money? Hasn't our public funds been withdrawn?"

Dai Li nodded and smiled slightly: "I am here to purchase chips and become our first customer."

Haizhou and Song Jingshan looked at each other, unable to guess why she came to purchase chips.

Dai Li abandoned her identity as a partner and came this time as a business partner.

She sat down and gave the quantity she needed to purchase and her requirements for the chips.

After hearing Dai Li's request, Song Jingshan was amazed: "Miss Dai's company is getting bigger and bigger."

People outside may not know who is making a fortune from energy collectors during this period, but they know that the young girl sitting in front of them has quietly made a fortune, and even has orders for millions of chips.

Yuan Heng joked, "From now on, our company won't need to take on any more business. Miss Dai alone can support our entire company."

It was originally just a joke from Yuan Heng, but Dai Li thought about it seriously.

"The chips I ordered today are just the first batch. We will probably need more and more chips in the future. It won't be a problem to support an electronic equipment company like us."

Dai Li is not bragging. In the future, it will not only be their company that needs odor molecule sensors. Manufacturers of other electronic brands will also come to purchase them after sensing the market trend.

There may even be teams or companies that buy odor molecule sensors and connect them to professional equipment.

In the future, TV dramas, movies, and advertisements will all offer olfactory sensory experiences.

This project can generate profits in the long run, more than enough to support the electronic equipment company.

Dai Li: "Mr. Hai, don't feel stressed. Relax and do your job slowly. There's no need to force yourself to work overtime every day."

Haizhou's eyes were filled with tears after hearing this. Who wouldn't be moved by such a rich and considerate boss?

"Miss Dai, I don't want to stay in this shabby e-ne anymore. I also want to come to your company. Are you willing to take me in?"

Song Jingshan and Yuan Heng looked at him with indescribable expressions.

Dai Li looked embarrassed, her brows almost knotted. "I don't mind you coming, but you seem to be particularly careless about your personal hygiene. The last time I saw you, you hadn't showered for a long time. I don't like employees who are too sloppy."

The smile on Haizhou's face froze slightly.

Yuan Heng smiled.

Song Jingshan laughed out loud without any manner.

"I told you that you were rotten, but you still insisted that you weren't. Now you know."

Haizhou picked up his collar and sniffed it, skeptical, and faintly smelled a scent of sweat.

He yawned deliberately: "I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep for a while, you guys continue chatting."

After closing the door of the conference room, he ran to the shower room in the lounge to take a shower.

After all, Dai Li herself is one of the partners of the company, and everyone is an old acquaintance, so all the details are very easy to discuss.

Afterwards, she took Wu Xuelin to visit her electronic equipment company's business.

Dai Li: "How is it? Can you explain it to your team after you go back?"

Wu Xuelin is holding a chip produced by the company, which is placed in a transparent box. It is only 0.22nm, the current limit of silicon-based chips. Before this, the smallest chip that could be made abroad was 4nm, while in China it was only 7nm.

In other words, their lead is not just a small step, but a huge step!

He couldn't describe his current mood. If he had to say, it would definitely be shock and joy.

Not just for his own happiness, but also for the people in his team.

Everyone’s efforts have not been in vain, and everyone’s trust has not been betrayed.

Wu Xuelin held the tiny chip in his hand. Although it was small, it carried the humiliation and unwillingness of countless people.

"Boss, I thank you on their behalf."

"Why are you being so charitable? If they want to thank you, let them do it in person. I haven't let you down, and you can't let me down either."

Wu Xuelin scratched his neck in pain. Although the chip was no longer a problem, was their technical department capable enough to produce a 0.22nm chip?

He didn't want to put pressure on the people in the technical department, so after he returned, he didn't tell them where he had been today, nor did he tell them what kind of chips would be installed in the future. He just told them not to worry about the chips, as Dai Li had already solved the chip problem.

The people in the technical department finally settled down to design chips, but Wu Xuelin was the only one who was on edge and started designing chips and systems day and night.

The team thought he was working so hard because he didn't want to lose to Song Ji.

But Song Ji was nothing in Wu Xuelin's eyes. He didn't need to worry about dealing with Song Zhe at all. He could just beat him without any resistance.

He simply felt a sense of mission because of Dai Li's casual words and didn't want to let her down.

Don't want to waste her 0.22nm chip.

But this time, Song Ji seemed to be making a comeback. He didn't know who he was connected to, but he got in touch with a foreign technology company. That company spent money to acquire a large number of Yundu shares and became a major shareholder. The shares left in Song Ji's hands were less than 20%.

Although Song Ji is no longer the sole decision-maker at Yundu, the advantage is that it has sufficient funds, and foreign technology companies have also promised to provide Yundu with 4nm chips.

Although using foreign chips deviated from Yundu's original concept, driven by interests, Song Ji finally compromised.

He wants to succeed, wants to be proud, wants to be the best, and it doesn't matter whose chip he uses to achieve success.

However, he still left himself a way out. The model equipped with foreign chips is no longer officially called "Yundu", but is named "Yunsel" by him.

The origin of the chip cannot be concealed at all, because 4nm cannot be produced in China.

At that time, he only needs to explain that "Yunsei" is their latest series of products, and "Yundu" will continue to maintain its original intention of independent research and development, so that users and fans will not find any points to attack him.

After completing all the preliminary preparations, Song Ji began to officially promote the "Yunse" series of mobile phones.

Among them, what he repeatedly emphasized was that the "Yunse" series of mobile phones will no longer use 7nm chips, but will be equipped with the latest 4nm chips.

The 4nm chip is undoubtedly a powerful tool to attract users. Song Ji doesn't need to explain too much. There are already a large number of users who are eager to buy it.

Cao Yufei and others also saw Song Ji's promotion at the first time.

For a moment, a depressing atmosphere suddenly filled the technical department.

They have been working so hard for so long, and the chip and system work is nearing completion.

A 4nm chip is like a natural barrier between them.

The cruel reality will tell you that no matter how good you are at software, if your hardware cannot compete with others, your machine's processing speed will be slower than others, and your products will be worse than others.

Cao Yufei: "What's going on? You don't want to do your job anymore after seeing other people's chips?"

"Just let me be sad for ten minutes. I'm already feeling miserable enough. Won't you let me rest for a while?"

Cao Yufei: "Can you guys be more optimistic? Didn't Boss Dai help us solve the chip problem?"

"How can we be optimistic about this? I know the boss has solved the chip problem, but it must be 7nm or 6nm. Is it possible to get 4nm? Song Ji paid a price to get 4nm."

"Yes, it's a technical limitation. It's not that I don't trust the boss, the fact is that 4nm is our delusion."

Cao Yufei didn't know how to persuade the people in the technical department. The only person he could think of was Wu Xuelin, who had gone with Dai Li to see the chip.

Wu Xuelin stayed up all night last night. She took a shower near dawn and went to bed, but was woken up by Cao Yufei again.

When I opened my eyes, I saw that not only Cao Yufei was there, but everyone from the technical department was there.

And everyone's expression was solemn.

Wu Xuelin yawned sleepily: "What's wrong? Is there a bug?"

Cao Yufei and his companions dragged their feet and reported the "bad news" to Wu Xuelin one by one with difficulty.

After hearing this, Wu Xuelin burst out laughing and shivered in the quilt.

"Boss, you can still laugh. We are almost dying of worry."

Finally, he stopped laughing and dozed off, saying, "Don't worry, our chips are no worse than Song Ji's."

“Have we also achieved 4nm?”

Wu Xuelin propped up his upper body, bent one leg, put his elbow on it and smiled.

“No, ours is 0.22nm.”
