A dozen minutes later, Mayor Zhou and He Zheng arrived with their entourage. They were taken aback to see Lu Feng dressed so formally. Vice Mayor Liu walked over and asked Lu Feng, "Why are you all dressed up?"
"This isn't an important person, so let's be more formal," Lu Feng said, straightening his back.
He Zheng, standing not far away, looked quite displeased upon hearing this. So, he was just a nobody, and people looked down on him? He Zheng couldn't help but say to Mayor Zhou, "It would be best to tell him to keep quiet for a while. It doesn't matter if he offends me, but it might not be easy to deal with if he offends them."
Vice Mayor Liu also whispered to Lu Feng, "Hey, stand back for a bit. If they don't ask, try not to say anything. Try to control your temper. If there are any technical issues, let General Manager Liu explain."
"You still don't believe me? I'm not stupid. I know what I should say and what I shouldn't say," Lu Feng explained.
"I know, I know, this time is different from before." Vice Mayor Liu hurriedly reassured him. If he could argue with Mayor Zhou, what wouldn't he dare to do?
As the airport announcement sounded, a passenger plane landed safely. The airport hostesses quickly took their positions, and a few minutes later, a man in his fifties or sixties strode out. He was dignified and showed no signs of aging. He was followed by more than a dozen people. Mayor Zhou hurriedly stepped forward, grasped the man's hand, and said politely, "Minister Niu, you've worked hard."
"It's not hard work, it's all for the sake of technological development. Your city can be said to have played a leading role in the semiconductor field nationwide," Minister Niu praised.
"The main thing is that we have conscientiously implemented the work of the Science and Technology Commission and your spirit," Mayor Zhou said flatteringly.
Seeing that Mayor Zhou's first round of pleasantries was about to end, He Zheng hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Thank you for your hard work. My name is He Zheng, and I am the leader of the preliminary inspection team. Welcome to inspect our work."
"You've all worked hard too." Minister Niu glanced at He Zheng and made a casual, polite remark.
"From what we've learned over this period, Shenzhen's semiconductor strategy is mainly due to your hard work, which has pointed them in the right direction. Most importantly, Mayor Zhou's immediate and pragmatic efforts after taking office have led to substantial progress." He Zheng attributed the credit to Mayor Zhou.
"Our leaders are one aspect, but the most important thing is the frontline workers. Breakthroughs are not enough; they must be implemented, they must bear fruit, and the spring breeze of science and technology must reach every household." Minister Niu glanced around the scene and asked, "Which one of you is in charge of Jiafeng?"
Upon hearing this, Vice Mayor Liu hurriedly pushed Liu Cheng forward, wanting him to speak. Liu Cheng kept backing away, while Lu Feng took two steps forward, extended both hands, and shook hands, saying, "Hello, I am Lu Feng, the founder of Jiafeng Group. Welcome to visit Jiafeng Group. We are quite proud and satisfied that our achievements have been valued by you."
"He's really young!" Minister Niu looked at Lu Feng. This young man was handsome, polite, and so capable. How could anyone not like him?
How does the current overall technology compare to world-class standards?
"In terms of production standards, we are still far behind. We have only made breakthroughs in some core and key areas. However, we are confident that we will come up with a production plan next year and achieve mass production, mainly for mobile phones. Jiafeng has learned a lot of foreign second-generation 2G digital communication technology in its cooperation with Nokia. I believe that by then, purely domestically produced mobile phones will be launched," Lu Feng introduced.
"Completely domestically produced? Compared to the chip industry, this is another unexpected surprise." Minister Niu's face lit up with joy. The mobile phone industry chain is no less important than the semiconductor industry. If we can achieve complete domestic production of mobile phones, the boost to the domestic industry will be enormous.
"Rather than a surprise, it's more like what we deserve. With your visionary leadership in the field of science and technology, coupled with the hard work and dedication of our people, it's all well and good," Lu Feng replied.
He was very satisfied with the answer, and couldn't stop smiling. He praised Lu Feng repeatedly.
He Zheng stood to the side with a stiff expression, while Lu Feng stood there eloquently introducing Jiafeng's research achievements, praising himself and his superiors in every word. This was completely different from his arrogant demeanor in front of Mayor Zhou. If Lu Feng before was more like a good-for-nothing student, then at this moment he was a well-behaved student who was doing well in his studies.
Mayor Zhou stood there watching with envy, inwardly cursing the sycophant, but he also felt that he was not in a position to let Lu Feng flatter him.
The airport pickup lasted half an hour, during which Lu Feng chatted with Minister Niu for the majority of the time. Lu Feng displayed exceptional abilities, humility, and a touch of humor. He treated Minister Niu with the respect due to an elder, and when discussing industry, he spoke of grand visions, frequently mentioning all of humanity and referring to the billion people.
Once in the car, they headed straight from the airport to the headquarters of Jiafeng Group. In the car, Mayor Zhou looked at Vice Mayor Liu next to him with a dark face and said, "How can he talk so much? Is he the most talkative person? Call him, but don't look at him like a sycophant. He's seen all kinds of people. Let me tell you, leaders hate this kind of person."
Vice Mayor Liu hurriedly took out his phone and called Lu Feng.
In the other car, He Zheng's expression was also not good. He originally thought that Lu Feng was the kind of hothead who would definitely get into trouble today. Now that he saw it, he was more like the hothead. This made him very unhappy. The main thing was that Lu Feng said so much, but he didn't mention him and Mayor Zhou at all.
As the vehicle entered the headquarters of Jiafeng Group, hundreds of people had already gathered downstairs. Amidst enthusiastic applause, Lu Feng got out of the car first, and then, under the watchful eyes of Mayor Zhou and He Zheng, he jogged to Minister Niu's car door and personally opened it.
