"Of course, I'm the one who's exhausted the most!" Lu Feng changed the subject, shamelessly shifting the blame to Minister Niu, saying, "Especially in terms of funding, technology, and talent, I don't know how much effort I've put into it. Searching both domestically and internationally, it's really too difficult for one company to handle so many things."
The smiling Vice Mayor Liu froze, while Mayor Zhou, Vice Mayor Liu, and He Zheng stared at Lu Feng without a trace of a smile.
"Tell us what's wrong. We can't let you go through all that trouble, both financially and personally. We'll help you if we can," Minister Niu said hurriedly.
Now he only hopes that the semiconductor industry can take root and flourish as soon as possible. As long as a market is formed in China, that's good, even if the market is small. As long as there's a spark, they have a place to breathe and work hard. Otherwise, there's no use in being anxious.
“Lithography machines are subject to strict restrictions from overseas, and they are very expensive. If we want to bring chips to market, we can’t do without lithography machines. I’ve been worried about this for a while now. If you have any difficulties, just tell me, and I won’t hold back,” Lu Feng said to him.
"The Science and Technology Commission will help you look into this matter, and we'll let you know as soon as we have any news," Minister Niu assured him.
"Thank you so much. With a leader like you, I can finally relax. People say it's easier to see the King of Hell than to deal with his underlings. I didn't believe it before, but now I do. No wonder you're a leader. You're so dedicated to taking responsibility for us entrepreneurs. It's truly touching." Lu Feng said, raising his glass and adding, "I'd like to toast you."
He Zheng sat to the side, his face extremely grim. Lu Feng had repeatedly pointed him out in front of the leaders, which made him very unhappy.
Minister Niu knew all about the people at the table. The meal was neither particularly good nor bad. After lunch, it was time for a nap. Lu Feng booked a room at the hotel and took a short nap. As long as his own business was done, the matters in the city were not that important.
At 2:30 p.m., everyone gathered downstairs, got into the car and headed straight to the R&D company. Following the pre-arranged schedule, they introduced the history of Jiafeng R&D Company, from television sets to the chip industry.
As evening fell, after seeing Minister Niu off, there was only one symposium left the next morning. Before leaving, Lu Feng received a phone number, and the other party specifically instructed him to call if anything came up, and that he would definitely resolve anything he could.
Lu Feng looked at the phone number in his hand. Vice Mayor Liu knew what kind of person he was, so he stepped forward and said, "They're just being polite. Don't call them for every little thing, okay?"
"I'm not an idiot, don't worry." Lu Feng put the business card into his pocket.
He Zheng stood not far away, smoking a cigarette. He couldn't stand Lu Feng no matter what, and whispered to Mayor Zhou, "Isn't this guy a bit too arrogant?"
During the visit to the R&D company in the afternoon, Minister Niu mentioned that Jiafeng R&D Company should communicate more with relevant units of the 909 Project, integrate technical patents, learn from each other, and apply for special subsidies equivalent to the 909 Project for Jiafeng, especially preferential treatment in R&D, particularly in the construction of R&D centers, equipment subsidies, and talent subsidies.
After all these years of the 909 Project, there haven't been any projects that have actually come to fruition. It's obvious that they're going to make Jiafeng Group a key development target. Even if Mayor Zhou is stupid, he'll know that this inspection is not simple.
Since Jiafeng's status has been elevated so much, why should I be flirting with the head of a mere inspection team?
"Young people, what's wrong with being a little arrogant?" Mayor Zhou said to him, "You should mind your own business first!"
"I...I can take care of myself?" He Zheng stood there stunned, sensing that something was wrong, and said, "Mayor Zhou, we agreed before..."
"What did we agree on? Do our job well, be humble like an ox, and serve the enterprises well. Didn't you hear what Minister Niu just said? Science and technology are the primary productive forces, and engineers are the engines. We should cherish them like we cherish giant pandas." Mayor Zhou spoke in a businesslike manner, and his quick change of expression left Lu Feng, who was standing to the side, in awe.
