Lin Fan raised his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.
"The facts are undeniable, and the evidence is conclusive!" he declared firmly.
"Qihang Technology has formally filed lawsuits with the relevant judicial authorities in the country where it is located and relevant international judicial bodies!"
"As for Su Ming's motives," a cold glint flashed in Lin Fan's eyes.
"Perhaps only he knows the truth. But the development of Qihang Technology will never be halted by the tricks of a villain!"
“On the contrary,” he said, his tone becoming impassioned.
"This incident will only strengthen our resolve to pursue independent research and development and technological innovation! Orders for our 'Nova' chip are surging! Our stock price is also steadily recovering!"
"Qihang Technology will repay the trust of global consumers with safer and more powerful products!"
At the end of the press conference, Lin Fan walked away with his head held high amidst a flurry of camera flashes.
Meanwhile, a profound transformation is quietly taking place within Qihang Technology.
"From today onwards, all access to core data must undergo at least three layers of encryption verification!"
At a meeting of the entire technology department, Wang Wei solemnly announced, "We will be implementing a brand-new multi-level data encryption system. Employees at different levels will only be able to access databases that are strictly aligned with their job responsibilities!"
“Any request to change permissions must be approved by both me and General Manager Lin!” His gaze swept over every engineer present. “Furthermore, we will regularly conduct thorough reviews of all employees’ access permissions and operation records!”
This is not just a technological upgrade, but also a revolution in management philosophy. The previously relatively relaxed and free R&D environment has become more standardized and rigorous.
The Human Resources Department also took action, joining forces with the Legal Department to conduct a series of intensive training sessions across the company on business ethics, confidentiality agreements, and laws and regulations.
"Every employee who embarks on this journey is the first line of defense for the company's safety!" Lin Fan personally attended an integrity training session for core staff. "We trust everyone, but trust cannot replace the system!"
"The company will establish an internal whistleblower reward mechanism," he announced. "Any employee who discovers any misconduct or suspicious clues that may harm the company's interests can report them anonymously to the monitoring department. Once verified, the company will provide a substantial reward and strictly protect the whistleblower's information!"
The combination of firmness and encouragement served as both a wake-up call and a source of motivation. After a brief period of tension, a new consensus gradually emerged throughout the company—everyone has a responsibility to safeguard the company's launch.
After the storm, Qihang Technology did not stop moving forward. Instead, it continued to exert its efforts in core technology fields at an even faster pace.
The research and development center was brightly lit.
"President Lin, look at this!" Wang Wei excitedly pointed to a complex dynamic simulation image on the screen.
"We have achieved a major breakthrough in artificial intelligence algorithms! This new neural network model is more than 300% more efficient than the previous generation in image recognition and pattern prediction!"
Lin Fan's eyes lit up as he looked at the medical images on the screen that quickly identified and accurately marked the lesion area.
"what does that mean?"
"This means that we can develop an intelligent diagnostic system with extremely high accuracy!"
Wang Wei excitedly stated, "In fields such as early cancer screening and rare disease identification, it will be able to assist doctors in making faster and more accurate judgments! This is not only a technological advancement, but also a protection of life!"
"Great! That's wonderful!" Lin Fan patted Wang Wei's shoulder forcefully.
"Immediately assemble a team to apply this algorithm to the medical field and find top medical institutions for collaborative testing!"
"Furthermore," Wang Wei switched to another interface, which displayed dense data streams and complex calculation formulas, "we have also explored some new directions in the fundamental theoretical research of quantum computing."
While we are still far from a truly commercially viable quantum computer, a novel quantum simulation algorithm we have developed can already efficiently solve some complex problems that are difficult for traditional computers to handle on existing supercomputing platforms.
"For example?" Lin Fan pressed.
"For example, in the financial field, we can develop ultra-high-precision risk prediction and quantitative trading models," Wang Wei explained. "The results of our simulation tests far surpass all risk assessment models currently on the market!"
Lin Fan's eyes grew brighter and brighter; he seemed to see the limitless possibilities of Qihang Technology's future. "Immediately transform these technologies into viable business solutions! We want Qihang's technology to permeate every industry and create greater value!"
Technological breakthroughs have opened up broader international markets for Qihang Technology.
Soon after, Qihang Technology announced a strategic partnership with a leading European medical device manufacturer.
Following that, Qihang partnered with a well-known fintech company on Wall Street to apply its risk prediction model based on quantum simulation algorithms to the latter's trading platform.
This collaboration not only brought substantial profits to Qihang, but also made the name "Qihang Technology" highly sought after in the high-end financial sector.
Lin Fan was not satisfied with this.
"We will establish regional R&D centers and production bases in Southeast Asia and South America, respectively!"
At a strategic meeting, Lin Fan made new arrangements.
"We need to attract the best local technical talent and conduct secondary development and optimization of the technology to meet the needs of the local market!"
Just as Qihang Technology was making intensive preparations for the construction of its Southeast Asia regional center, and the first batch of core equipment and precision instruments were about to be shipped to the designated port by sea, a sudden piece of news poured over everyone's enthusiasm like a bucket of ice water.
"President Lin, something's happened!" Logistics Director Chen Hai rushed into Lin Fan's office, his face pale and his forehead covered in fine beads of sweat. "All the containers we sent to Southeast Asia are stuck at Singapore Port! The port won't let them pass!"
Lin Fan was engrossed in a report analyzing the potential of the South American market when he heard this. He abruptly looked up, his brows furrowing deeply. "What's the reason? Incomplete paperwork? Or a tariff issue?"
“None of them!” Chen Hai’s voice trembled with disbelief. “It was…it was Tang Zhong, the owner of 'Sihaitong,' the biggest logistics tycoon in the area! He…he personally gave the order that our goods ‘require further inspection’ and were to be detained indefinitely!”
"Tang Zhong?" Lin Fan's eyes sharpened. He had seen this name in previous market research reports. This man was practically a local tyrant in the Southeast Asian logistics industry, with connections in both the legitimate and underworld circles, an unfathomable network of relationships, and an extremely domineering style. Qihang Technology, for the sake of stability, had chosen a logistics partner that was already a fairly powerful second-tier company in the area, but clearly, in Tang Zhong's territory, that kind of strength was simply insufficient.
“We tried to communicate through our partners,” Chen Hai wiped his sweat and continued, “but they couldn’t even get in the door! The representatives we sent were thrown out by Tang Zhong’s men! They said that if we wanted the goods to leave, unless… unless the top executive of Qihang Technology personally went to talk to him!”
Lin Fan's fingertips tapped lightly on the desk, producing a rhythmic tapping sound. The air in the office seemed to freeze, the atmosphere so oppressive it was hard to breathe.
To name names and demand that the highest-ranking official speak with them? This is no longer a simple business dispute, but a blatant show of force, or even... extortion!
"Did he propose any conditions?" Lin Fan's voice was eerily calm.
Chen Hai shook his head: "No. It just specifically requested that you go in person. President Lin, this Tang Zhong... has a very complicated background, and his methods... are quite shady. What do you think, perhaps we should go through official channels first, or... or perhaps we could change the flight route? Although the cost would be much higher, and it would also delay things..."
"Change course?" Lin Fan interrupted him, a cold smile curving his lips. "Since he's drawn this line, he wants to tell everyone that he calls the shots in Southeast Asia. If we back down this time, every step we take in Southeast Asia from now on will be controlled by him!"
"Among that batch of equipment are our latest precision lithography components and the first batch of customized chip samples for 'Qimingxing Nova,' which are key materials for supplying our local R&D partners!" Lin Fan stood up, walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window, and looked down at the bustling traffic below. "A day's delay means more than just financial loss; it also means losing the window of opportunity for us to build trust and establish an advantage in the local area!"
His gaze became unusually firm: "It seems that I have no choice but to meet this Tang Zhong."
Chen Hai's face showed worry: "President Lin, this is too dangerous! The other party clearly has ill intentions, what if..."
“There’s no such thing as ‘what if’.” Lin Fan turned around, his eyes calm and profound. “The business world is like a battlefield; when two armies meet on a narrow path, the brave will prevail. He wants to see the true worth of Qihang Technology, so I will personally weigh it for him.”
He picked up the intercom: "Notify the legal department to prepare all legal shipping documents and trade contracts. Notify the security department to select two capable escorts. Book the fastest flight to Singapore."
"President Lin!" Chen Hai wanted to persuade him again.
"Execute the order." Lin Fan's tone left no room for argument.
Three days later, on the top floor of the Sihaitong Group headquarters building in Xingzhou City.
