He Zheng was turned away and couldn't say a word. He stood there, his face turning purple. After stammering for a while, he turned around and left on his own.
"Don't be late for tomorrow's meeting," Mayor Zhou instructed Lu Feng, then turned around and got into his car.
As the car drove further and further away, Vice Mayor Liu turned to Lu Feng and said, "Try not to offend them if you can avoid it. If they really make things difficult for you, you won't have it easy either. Don't be late for the meeting tomorrow. They will definitely give Jiafeng some benefits. After they go back and analyze the situation, Jiafeng will really become the leading semiconductor company in China."
"I understand. I don't want to get too close to the city government, mainly because I don't want to get involved in those things. If we get too close, there will be dinner parties every now and then." Lu Feng knew their ways all too well. They would chat at the dinner table, mentioning who they knew, and then make a phone call to invite you over.
They'll introduce you to a bunch of useless people, and then they'll just put on a show of drinking three cups in one go!
It's better to leave a bad impression so there will be fewer problems later. Most importantly, neither Jiafeng nor Lufeng can get what they need right now from the city.
"I'll head back now," Vice Mayor Liu said, getting into his car and driving away.
The discussions surrounding Jiafeng have never ceased, especially today with Motorola's Chinese branch officially announcing that it will sue Jiafeng Group in China, and other foreign companies in China also preparing to join forces in the lawsuit, causing another uproar in the domestic public opinion.
The day's schedule was quite packed. Lu Feng stretched and looked at the Liu Cheng group beside him, saying, "Everyone, get back to your work. There shouldn't be any major problems."
Zhu Lidong stepped forward and said, "President Lu, there's something going on. Just now, we heard from the US that Watanabe Shi, who is in charge of Motorola Group's overseas operations, said in an interview that he's going to target us with all his might. The reason we transferred him from Japan is because of this. Also, this morning, some overseas banks downgraded our credit rating to the lowest level, including several banks in Hong Kong."
"Let them adjust it. We're not borrowing from overseas anymore. Even if we need to buy lithography machines from abroad in the future, we can do it through relevant companies!" Lu Feng said nonchalantly. "As for Watanabe Shi, it's a waste that someone like him is being promoted. Everyone should just keep to their own business."
As evening fell and the sun set, Lu Feng drove home, silently pondering the current situation. Besides the country's support, he needed to achieve greater autonomy for Jiafeng, and the most important issue was still the chip problem.
If Jiafeng wants to mass-produce mobile phones next year, it must achieve mass production of communication chips this year; otherwise, it will have to be postponed. Given Jiafeng's current situation, it can forget about the overseas supply chain.
Although modern mobile phones have fewer internal chips and only a simple processor, with most relying on integrated circuit motherboards, a simple processor is still needed for signal compilation, operating programs, and circuit management. In fact, it can't even be called a processor; it's more like an integrated circuit.
Modern mobile phones are essentially just a circuit board with signal reception, processing, a battery, and a speaker. Even though it seems so simple in the future, it is still considered high technology. The 'processor' that processes 2G signals is the biggest hurdle.
"Will the mobile version be released next year?!"
Lu Feng rubbed his face with a slight worry. If he really waited for Jia Feng to have such ability, it would probably take another two or three years. Lu Feng knew very well that even if he brought back the lithography machine, chip circuit design, cleanroom, and various tests, the whole process would take two or three years.
After these things are produced, their main applications will be computers and mobile phones after 2000. The processors and storage in mobile phones now are too simple.
The car stopped in front of the house. Duoduo sat there in a daze, holding someone else's dog in her arms. When she saw Lu Feng come back, she glanced at him but didn't say anything.
Lu Feng got out of the car and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you so down?"
"It's just boring!" she sighed as she spoke. "I'll be ten years old this year, which means I'll be an old person in my twenties."
Seeing her feigning sadness, Lu Feng strode straight home.
Jiang Xiaoyan brought back some food from the restaurant. When she saw Lu Feng return, she stood up from the sofa and said, "You're back. Let's eat. I read in the newspaper this afternoon that many companies are going to sue Jiafeng."
"Let's sue. The more lawsuits we have, the better." Lu Feng called out towards the door, "Duo Duo, dinner's ready."
There was too much and too complicated news from the outside world, and Lu Feng couldn't handle it, nor did he want to. He was reluctant to appear in public right now. Based on his understanding of some Chinese people, if he stood up, he would become the target of abuse for the next ten years, or even longer.
Sometimes he prefers to be a massive creature submerged underwater, which was one of the reasons he voluntarily stepped down from management.
The next morning, a meeting was held at the municipal government. He Zheng did not attend this time. He heard that when the work was reported last night, it was the deputy team leader who gave the report. Before the meeting, Vice Mayor Liu had chatted with Lu Feng about the implications of this in a rather gossipy manner.
Lu Feng wasn't very interested in these things. These people were much more perceptive than him. A single word, a single action, a single inquiry could contain many layers of meaning. In comparison, the business world seemed much simpler.
Minister Niu was very satisfied with Jiafeng's development. He first affirmed this development approach at the meeting. However, he also believed that it was definitely not enough to just throw money at foreigners to develop industries. He would hold a meeting with other departments after returning home to try to get some universities to offer courses in this area and connect enterprises with universities.
