"Yes, thanks to the city leaders and the district's effective implementation," Deputy District Head Li replied with a smile.
Mayor Zhou glanced at Deputy District Chief Li without saying a word. Everyone stood up and walked out. Lu Feng followed them out. Before they even reached the door, He Zheng waved to Lu Feng, signaling him to come over.
Lu Feng walked over and asked, puzzled, "Team Leader He, is something the matter?"
"Xiao Lu, your company has achieved such great results. Who do you think is the main contributor to this success?" He Zheng asked Lu Feng.
Vice Mayor Liu hurriedly added, "It's the result of everyone's joint efforts. Of course, the city's promotion was the main factor, and we have a series of incentives. Mayor Zhou also attaches great importance to it."
"I think it's mainly due to the hard work of the R&D staff. They spent day and night testing in the lab, finding the solutions through repeated failures," Lu Feng replied.
"This is no small matter; it's a major event that will go down in history. We can say that this is a pioneering achievement in China's semiconductor industry. One is the achievement of catching up with the international level, and the other is the future development. If we do it well, the future will be limitless," He Zheng added.
Everyone present was shrewd; having heard the words spoken to this extent, everyone understood that Team Leader He wanted to gain some credit for himself.
Vice Mayor Liu, standing to the side, tried to smooth things over, saying, "Team Leader He is right, so we should continue to work hard. Let's set off first."
Seeing that Lu Feng didn't respond, He Zheng walked towards the car. Upon arriving at the group headquarters, they spent over an hour in the corporate culture and publicity department, where Lu Feng introduced the group's current business and subsidiary brands.
We arrived at the restaurant around 11 a.m. The reception was quite high-class, with a meal, cigarettes, and alcohol costing over two thousand yuan. During the meal, it was clear that this Mr. He was an experienced person. He kept talking to Mayor Zhou, praising him for achieving such results in just a few months in Jiafeng and promising to report back properly when he returned.
Mayor Zhou beamed with delight, drinking one glass after another.
However, He Zheng, the deputy leader, sat next to Liu Cheng and kept asking about technical issues, such as how long it would take for the chip industry to go into production, what technical problems still existed, and what difficulties were encountered in implementation.
Two factions clearly formed at the dinner table. Liu Cheng was chatting enthusiastically with several technicians, using technical terms that laymen couldn't understand.
At 3 p.m., after a short lunch break, everyone, still smelling of alcohol, went to the R&D company headquarters. Wei Yandan, Du Guoying, and the others had already gone back, leaving only Lu Feng and Liu Cheng to accompany them.
Several technical directors were met on-site, and the scale of the world's leading semiconductor industry was introduced, along with the advantages and disadvantages of Jiafeng. Video demonstrations of wafers, photoresists, and etching technologies were also presented.
Lu Feng could tell that Team Leader He's mind wasn't on the technology at all; he just wanted to make a quick buck. The three hours in the afternoon passed quickly, and the reporter took quite a few photos. Then it was time for dinner.
Tomorrow, all that's left is to take a stroll around the factory and R&D center, and that'll be it. Lu Feng doesn't want to wander around with them, especially after seeing Deputy District Chief Li's face; he's just like He Zheng.
Dinner was arranged at a three-star restaurant. Before leaving, Lu Feng asked Wei Yandan to have someone send Duo Duo back, and then drove towards the restaurant himself.
It was peak dining time, and the area around the tables was bustling with noise. The sounds of drinking and shouting could be heard from time to time. Mayor Zhou and his entourage had not yet arrived. Lu Feng found a seat downstairs, and Liu Cheng sat next to him, patting his legs and complaining, "My legs hurt from walking. The problem is that Team Leader He doesn't listen to me. He just lets my words go in one ear and out the other."
"Never mind all that, just play dumb if you have to," Lu Feng replied.
Lu Feng was sitting at a table that someone else had finished eating at. Behind him were three women eating, who seemed to be quite attractive. Not far away, five or six people were making a lot of noise, and the sounds of laughter and joking could be heard from time to time, causing everyone to turn around frequently.
Lu Feng turned around and saw five or six burly middle-aged men, wearing short sleeves and shorts, with cigarettes in their mouths. Each of them looked to weigh about 200 pounds, with tattoos on their bare arms, laughing and joking as if no one else was around.
One of them walked over and stood on the table with the three women, smoking. He glanced at one of them and looked her up and down as if he had discovered a new continent, his face showing surprise.
