There is no doubt that the artificial cheek invented by Dai Li became a hot topic again that day.
Many investors realized it later and only now remembered to contact Dai Li, hoping to have a detailed discussion with her.
It’s a pity that they were all one step too late.
Guan Honghou, who seized the initiative, has been very proud recently. Anyone who has seen him recently can see the smile on his face.
The outside world doesn't know that he has already ordered an artificial cheek, and they are all jealous of the huge profits he is making from the constant temperature suit.
The group's stock price is also rising sharply.
Guan Chengliang’s classmates all know that his family has obtained the exclusive rights to constant temperature clothing and has made a lot of money recently.
The students in the class felt mixed emotions.
Those classmates who had ridiculed him before now forgot about their previous arguments with him, pretended to be good brothers, and asked him if he had any goods to sell.
Some even asked him smugly if they could use the back door to get an internal price.
Guan Chengliang remained unmoved. "Our orders are booked until the end of next year. We don't have any extra items. There's no backdoor. If you want to buy, you'll have to be quick or go to the store and queue up yourself."
"There's no internal price, I always pay in full."
Classmates: Do you believe what you say?
You've even given it away for free to your friends, and they're not asking you to give it away for free. Can't you even buy one for money?!
Facts have proved that even if Guan Chengliang wanted to buy it at the original price, he would not be able to do so without using any backdoor channels.
Not only do they have to compete with a large number of domestic people for the constant temperature suits, but even people abroad have heard the news and joined the rush to buy them, making the constant temperature suits with limited production capacity even more difficult to get.
Many people regretted that they should have had a good relationship with Guan Chengliang and should not have been sarcastic to him.
The weather is so cold, they really want to wear thermostatic clothing.
After Guan Honghou tasted the sweetness of success in the constant temperature suit, he devoted himself more wholeheartedly to the production of artificial cheeks.
At the same time, he did not forget to call Dai Li to say hello and ask her if she had any new inventions.
Dai Li also fulfilled her promise and took time to visit e-ne.
During the negotiation, a partner of e-ne showed great sincerity and did not require her to become an employee or force her to sign a non-compete agreement. The contract stated that she would be hired as a technical consultant.
After signing the last signature on the contract, Haizhou couldn't wait any longer.
"Can we start now? Optimize the system program?"
Dai Li did not share his excitement, but instead poured a basin of cold water on him.
"You can't just optimize the system program. If your chip is not good enough, no matter how perfect the system program is, if the chip can't run it, users will still not be able to experience the ultimate gaming experience."
Her words seemed to trigger some bad memories, and they suddenly felt like deflated balls.
Song Jingshan lowered his eyelids and said nothing.
Haizhou had an unwilling look on his face, snapping his fingers irritably with his hands hanging naturally on the sofa.
Yuan Heng let out a deep breath. "We can't do anything about chips. Domestic semiconductor technology started late and is backward. After the blockade, chip production is even more difficult. The chips we use are already the most advanced that can be produced independently in China."
"We had already ordered a batch of the latest chips from an overseas electronic technology equipment company, and the chips had been designed. However, before delivery, their government intervened, tore up the contract, and sold all the chips we ordered to our competitors." Haizhou was so angry that he laughed as he spoke.
Song Jingshan: "They have a bullshit contract mentality. It really proves the old saying, 'It's better to have it yourself than to have it from your parents.' We still have to master the key technologies ourselves. Only by doing it ourselves can we rest assured."
Haizhou laughed self-deprecatingly, "It'll take at least another twenty years for us to develop the technology. By then, I'll be a greasy old man. How can I even write code?"
Yuan Heng: "Ms. Dai, as you can see, domestic chips are currently at this level of technology. We can only do our best to write better programs."
Just when everyone was frowning, Dai Li said in a relaxed tone: "It's no big deal if someone else gets stuck with the chip. We can just make it ourselves. It's not a very difficult technology."
They looked at each other.
Yuan Heng gently reminded her, "Miss Dai, you may not have understood what we meant. The ones we are using now are the ones we ordered from China, and the effect will be similar if we make new ones."
Dai Li smiled and said, "You don't understand what I mean. I mean redesigning the chip and remaking the chip."
The people on the opposite side were speechless for a moment, not even able to find a way to complain.
After a long while, Song Jingshan asked tentatively, "Ms. Dai, you don't know how difficult it is to design and manufacture a chip, do you?"
Dai Li: "I know, but it's not as difficult as you think."
The difficulty lies in making technological breakthroughs, which requires a certain amount of time and luck.
Fortunately, she is very familiar with chip technology, so it is not a technological breakthrough for her.
Everyone fell silent upon hearing this.
Only two companies in the world have mastered this technology, a technology that can accurately clamp down on their necks, and she actually said it's not difficult?
Although he admired her programming ability, Haizhou still had doubts about her.
"Do you know what machines and equipment are needed to make a chip?"
"I remember that we needed a photolithography machine, a plasma etcher, an ion implanter, a single crystal furnace, and a wafer dicing machine..."
Dai Li listed all the equipment needed, the production procedures, and the raw materials needed in one breath.
Then she frowned and muttered to herself, "I guess I didn't miss anything. No, I'll write a plan and make a table later."
They were surprised to find that Dai Li actually understood chip manufacturing, and it seemed that she understood it very well.
Song Jingshan was a little excited, but he still managed to remain calm: "But we don't have equipment like lithography machines."
Dai Li: "If you don't have it, make it yourself."
Haizhou swallowed hard. "You mean all the equipment, including the lithography machine?"
Dai Li nodded: "That's right."
I don’t know what to say anymore. The original plan was to redesign the helmet system, but now it has turned into redesigning and manufacturing chips, as well as the equipment such as lithography machines needed to make chips.
No matter how you look at it, the idea is a bit far-fetched.
But they actually believed it and wanted to do it with full confidence.
Dai Li: "By the way, there is another very important problem that needs to be solved. If we can't solve it, we can't do anything."
Everyone asked in unison: "What's the matter?"
It was so rare for them to have such an idea, and they were afraid that their chip-making business would fail.
Dai Li said seriously: "If you want to make a complete set of equipment, you need to invest a lot of money in the early stage. It will be an astronomical figure."
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is an astronomical figure. Chip production has a very complicated process. Each step requires different equipment and processes. The production and purchase of each equipment is not cheap. The cost may eventually be calculated in tens of billions.
Although they are not short of money personally, they own more than one company.
But it doesn't mean that it is easy to come up with tens of billions of funds.
They couldn't make such an important decision in a short time.
They all chose silence.
Dai Li: "You can also make do with the existing chip. In that case, the system program does not need to be designed too complicated. The version I wrote before will be a perfect fit. But I have to remind you in advance that if you have the idea of making a better chip, once you make a decision, you can't regret it midway, otherwise you will not be able to recover the money you invested."
This is what they worry about. Once the money is invested, there is no turning back. That is their entire fortune.
"You can think about it slowly and decide whether you want to follow me. Contact me when you've made up your mind." Dai Li gave them the right to choose.
I sat in the office for the entire afternoon and didn't even feel like eating dinner.
Haizhou didn't have as much patience as them and couldn't sit still very early on.
"Have you decided whether to make chips or not?"
Song Jingshan: "Have you thought about it?"
Hai Zhou: "Of course. I don't have time to spend the money I earn anyway. I only need one house to live in and I can take the subway to get around. Why not sell it and make chips? We can make our own chips. Just thinking about it makes me excited."
Song Jingshan laughed: "Are you so sure that we can definitely make a chip by following Miss Dai? Aren't you afraid that she is fooling us and that we will end up losing everything?"
"She wouldn't lie to her, but she wouldn't lie to us," Yuan Heng said.
During this period of time, he has gained a certain understanding of Dai Li's strength. Moreover, from her words and deeds, he can tell that she is familiar with the chip manufacturing process and is very confident about it.
What he is hesitant about are other unknown factors.
"There are unknown risks involved. There are too many steps in chip production, and there are many uncontrollable factors."
Haizhou: "Everything we do is a gamble. When we founded e-ne, did you think about our current achievements? What's the big deal if we fail this time? Just consider these years of work as wasted. We're still young, so let's start over."
Song Jingshan laughed and scolded, "You're easy to say. How much are you worth? Do you know how much assets Lao Yuan and I, especially Lao Yuan, have to mortgage to ensure the normal operation of such a large project?"
Hai Zhou spread his hands and said, "Although the investment is higher, you will also earn more. If it doesn't work out, we can recruit a few more people to join us and share the risk."
Yuan Heng and Song Jingshan did not express their opinions immediately.
Hai Zhou: "You two are so slow now. You don't have the decisiveness you had when you were young. Where's the courage you had when you sold houses to start research and development?"
Song Jingshan rolled his eyes at him silently.
How can we compare now with the past? Back then, I only had a few coins in my pocket, and the level of heartache was completely different.
Hai Zhou yawned boredly. "Don't blame me for not warning you. You're hesitant now. You'll regret it someday when Miss Dai finds someone richer and lets them develop the chip. When you're all old, you'll regret it so much that you'll beat your chest and stamp your feet in regret every time you think about it. You won't be able to close your eyes even when you're in your coffin."
Yuan Heng and Song Jingshan looked at each other nervously.
Haizhou is right.
The reason they were hesitant to make a decision was money, not because they didn't believe Dai Li could make the chip.
If they missed the opportunity to make chips because of money, they would die with regret.
Song Jingshan slammed the armrest firmly and said, "What are you waiting for? Just do it."
Hai Zhou smiled broadly, "Old Song, have you finally figured it out? Right? Let's make our own chips. Once we do, we can truly achieve self-reliance in chips and never have to worry about being strangled by others again."
Song Jingshan felt happy just imagining it, and raised his chin expectantly towards Yuan Heng: "Old Yuan, what about you?"
Haizhou: "Don't let me down."
The two men stared at him closely. Their wealth could not catch up with Yuan Heng. Yuan Heng was the major investor. If he was not willing, the chip project would not be successful.
Yuan Heng was too lazy to look at their petty looks.
"I'll go call Miss Dai."
Since they decided to acquire the chips, they began to liquidate their assets, and some non-essential assets were prepared to be mortgaged.
Yuan Heng is also preparing to sell his shares in Huiyao Entertainment.
Huiyao Entertainment does not have any core technology, and there is no need to keep it in its hands.
The news of the company's upcoming changes quickly spread to Huiyao's internal staff and artists, and they were all talking about it.
Huiyao's business is booming and its artists are also on the rise.
Insiders couldn't understand why Yuan Heng wanted to sell the company.
On Dai Li's phone, the small group that had been silent for a long time became lively again.
[Qin Yao]: Does the company really need to change its boss?
[Han Youyou]: Yes, we have found the next buyer, Mr. Gong from Hengyang Real Estate.
[Qin Yao]: Oh my god, isn’t Hengyang Real Estate Ye Zheng’s new lover?
[Han Youyou]: You are right. Ye Zheng is very capable now. She has made Mr. Gong crazy. Otherwise, how could Mr. Gong buy Huiyao’s shares at a price twice the market price?
[Qin Yao]: So, Ye Zheng will be half the boss lady of Huiyao from now on?
[Han Youyou]: Next time you meet Ye Zheng, you should be more respectful and stop putting on airs/smile.
[Qin Yao]: You too, please don’t complain about Ye Zheng’s average acting skills and looks in private/smile.
[Han Youyou]: bitter smile.jpg.
[Qin Yao]: Come to think of it, Dai Li will be in trouble in the future. Everyone knows that Ye Zheng has been unhappy with her for a long time and has been secretly trying to gain advantage over her. Now that she has become the boss lady, the first person she will deal with will definitely be Dai Li.
[Han Youyou]: And there is her gambling contract. Dai Li hasn’t completed her goal yet.
[Han Youyou]: If Ye Zheng wants to use the contents of the gambling contract to cause trouble, Dai Li will be finished.
[Qin Yao]: @Dai Li, can you still sit still? This is urgent!
The two of them were madly tagging Dai Li in the group, but now she had no time to watch.
Because she is now in Huiyao's general manager's office.
Yuan Heng was a very meticulous person. When he was checking Huiyao's affairs, he noticed Dai Li's contract.
Given the current depth of their cooperation, it is no longer appropriate to keep such a contract.
What's more, Huiyao is about to be sold, and we cannot leave any hidden dangers behind.
In front of Dai Li and Sister Tu, Yuan Heng asked his assistant Qi Xiang to put the original and copy of the contract into the shredder.
Seeing that the pressure that once weighed on her had turned into a pile of waste paper, Sister Tu felt mixed emotions.
The good news is that Dai Li no longer has to pay compensation and is now debt-free.
Sadly, the contract ended, and her wish to make Dai Li famous also came to nothing.
With Dai Li's current abilities, she shouldn't just be stuck in the entertainment industry; she still has a bigger future ahead of her.
Sister Tu adjusted her mindset quickly, after all, work is for making money.
She now works as Dai Li's assistant and earns much more than before.
After feeling sad about the shattered dream of becoming a gold medal agent, he turned around to look at his account balance, and the cat urine on his face dried up instantly.
All the dreams of becoming a gold medal agent are gone, small amounts of money are still the best.
"Are you under pressure to raise funds?" Dai Li could see that Yuan Heng and Qi Xiang probably hadn't slept well for several days, and their faces looked very haggard. Needless to say, she knew that they must be busy raising funds.
It is absolutely impossible to say that there is no pressure.
Yuan Heng: "It's definitely a bit difficult to come up with so much money at once, but we will do our best to ensure that the funding chain is not broken. If that doesn't work, I still have a trust fund abroad."
Dai Li: "Then do you mind adding one more person to invest?"
Yuan Heng and his team had thought about finding a few more people to share the risk, but such partners were too difficult to find.
First of all, you must find someone you can trust to join. If you are just an acquaintance, who would dare to bring the other person into such a big project?
Secondly, the investment cost is too high, and even if others are willing to invest, they may not be able to invest much.
The most important point is that this is a high-risk, but definitely not a high-reward project.
In the eyes of most investors, chip technology is too difficult and the investment cycle is too long, making it difficult to see a return on investment within one or two years.
Of course, more people still don't believe in their chip technology, saying that even if they succeed, they will still be decades behind others. They also advise them to stop as soon as possible, saying that the money invested will be wasted.
Yuan Heng and his colleagues have been working hard for many years, but the amount of obstacles they have encountered is not as much as they have encountered recently.
The lack of understanding from relatives and friends dampened the progress, and fund raising was not going smoothly.
Each of them can be said to be exhausted both physically and mentally.
Dai Li didn't know that they had thought so much. She just hoped that they would think carefully before investing and not back down halfway. She didn't expect that they imagined chip production to be a very complicated matter and were even prepared to fight for several years.
She was silent for a moment: "Actually... the investment period is not as long as you think."
Yuan Heng: "How many years can it be done in two years at the earliest?"
Dai Li: "If it's slow, it will take months. If it's fast, it will only take a month."
Yuan Heng seemed to have suddenly received a shot of cardiac stimulant and became energetic all of a sudden.
"A month, if fast?"
"If I speed up the process, it will take a month, but the investment cost cannot be reduced."
Yuan Heng was already very excited just hearing that it would only take one month. The funding issue was not a problem at all compared to time!
"Then you can wait for us to raise the funds."
Now they don’t have to worry about the long R&D cycle, and the technical difficulties have been solved. The only thing in front of them is to make money as soon as possible!
Dai Li: "As I suggested before, would you mind adding one more person?"
Yuan Heng: "Miss Dai, do you have anyone to recommend?"
Dai Li: "Mr. Guan Honghou, he will definitely be willing to invest."
"Guan Honghou?" Yuan Heng unexpectedly repeated the name.
He knew Guan Honghou, but he didn't know that the constant temperature suit was made by Dai Li and Guan Honghou together, and naturally he didn't know that they had a cooperative relationship.
The Guan Honghou he knew had always been engaged in industry and had never entered the field of science and technology.
Guan Honghou has a strong family background and a wide range of businesses. Yuan Heng also believes that he can easily come up with a large sum of money, but this does not mean that he is willing to invest a large sum of money in an unknown field.
Dai Li: "If you agree, I will call him and ask him."
Yuan Heng had no objection to the person recommended by Dai Li personally.
So Dai Li called Guan Honghou on the spot.
Guan Honghou was extremely busy. He was scolding the financial director just a second ago, but when he received Dai Li's call, he immediately put on a smile. Even through the phone, he couldn't hide his smile.
"Teacher Xiao Dai, good afternoon. Have you eaten yet? If not, I'll personally order a meal for you. I ate at a private restaurant last time and it was very delicious. It will definitely suit your taste. You must try it."
Qi Xiang glanced at his boss with confusion in his eyes. Was the attentive man on the phone the same Guan Honghou they knew?
He was indeed different from the Guan Honghou Yuan Heng knew. Bosses like them often said polite words, but it was rare for them to be so attentive as Guan Honghou was now.
"Boss Guan, I have a new project on hand. Are you interested?"
"Of course I'm interested. How could I not be interested in Teacher Xiao Dai's projects? Your projects are all profitable. To be honest, I'm waiting for you to give me new projects."
Dai Li was not fooled by his flattery.
"You'd better listen to me first and don't agree blindly."
"Okay, okay, you talk, I'm listening."
"We plan to make electronic chips from scratch, which requires space, equipment, raw materials, and a huge amount of investment."
When Dai Li mentioned the amount, Guan Honghou agreed without a second thought: "Okay, no problem, I'll invest as much as you need."
The brisk speed shocked both Yuan Heng and Qi Xiang.
"Boss Guan, I'm Yuan Heng. Don't you need to think about it? Do you know the process and difficulties of chip production?"
Guan Honghou still smiled and said, "That's not necessary. I believe in Teacher Xiao Dai. I have never lost money investing with Teacher Xiao Dai."
With just a few words and a call lasting less than a minute, the funding problem was solved.
Qi Xiang couldn't help but be curious and asked, "Excuse me, but what did you invest in, Mr. Guan, along with Miss Dai?"
Sister Tu rushed to say: "It's a constant temperature suit, don't you know?"
Yuan Heng/Qi Xiang: They really don’t know this.
But they know that they have made a fortune recently by selling constant temperature clothing.
Qi Xiang asked tentatively, "Is it also a constant temperature suit?"
Sister Tu said proudly: "Yes, the constant temperature suit is also invented by our Dai Dai."
Qi Xiang:!
He finally understood why Guan Honghou was so attentive to Dai Li.
If someone could help him make that much money, he would also worship that person.
After everyone sat together and signed the contract, Guan Honghou's funds were quickly transferred.
As soon as the funds were in place, everyone witnessed the birth of the dust-free workshop with their own eyes.
Although the clean room is currently empty, they seem to have seen chips being designed, produced and replicated here.
They could hardly hide their excitement.
We are finally going to have our own chip!
