Morning Light No. 1
Although, Jian Jianan put aside his lofty ambitions in front of his family and asked them not to worry about him.
However, the development of reality is not subject to human subjective will, and bad news comes one after another.
First, companies in the same industry went bankrupt one after another. Almost every day, Jian Jianan could hear that colleagues who had just been chatting and laughing in meetings suddenly announced bankruptcy. Even those small companies that had not yet reached this stage decided to give up the electronic equipment business, either selling it at a discount or temporarily shelving it.
In short, they have made up their minds to take another path.
When Jian Jianan received the news, she was not surprised. She just rubbed her tired forehead. All her energy and strength had been put into finding a way out for Gao Xi. How could she spare any experience to take care of the affairs of other companies?
At most, I would feel sad for a short time when I heard the news, and observe a second of silence for the loss of another companion on this road.
Jian Jianan leaned back in the recliner and said, "One more person is missing."
Huang Haiyan sipped her coffee beside her. "Yeah, one less. There aren't many telecom companies left that have the time and energy to invest in R&D and maintain operations every day, and we're one of them."
Jian Jianan suddenly laughed, his thoughts etched in his mind. "Three years ago, when the domestic mobile phone market was booming and countless large, medium, and small companies rushed in, did they ever imagine the disaster that would come three years later?"
Huang Haiyan tossed the empty coffee can into the trash, turned around, and gently answered Jian Jianan's question: "They? They certainly haven't thought about it! I don't think they've even considered this issue. Otherwise, why would they spend so little on R&D every year? Some companies don't even have this department! They probably put all the money into the publicity department!"
That's why they have no ability to resist risks when they come. Unlike Gao Xi, they also suffered technical sanctions at the same time, but their industries are developing in a balanced way. In addition, Jian Jianan has always had the foresight to invest part of the annual profit in research and development. In short, there is still hope for Gao Xi. Now they just hope that several laboratories can come up with good countermeasures quickly. At the same time, Gao Xi and others will do their best to hold on longer and provide them with a good environment as much as possible before the experiment succeeds!
Jian Jianan and Huang Haiyan exchanged a smile. They had discussed the same topic numerous times. Ultimately, the people most under pressure were those closest to Gao Xi, such as management and the boss. While the employees were also extremely worried about this, if Gao Xi went bankrupt, they could simply take their pay and leave, rather than risking their company's fate.
But Huang Haiyan is the one who has been with Gao Xi from zero to now, and Jian Jianan has invested all his efforts in Gao Xi. If something really happens to her, Huang Haiyan doesn't know what Jian Jianan will do and what kind of blow she will suffer.
The two of them were silent for a rare moment and took a short rest in the conference room.
After a while, Shan Jiqing came knocking on the door.
As a busy man, he would only come knocking on the door because his experiment has come to an end.
"Nannan, let's go home."
Shan Jiqing came to pick up Jian Jianan to take him home to rest.
It just so happened that today, both of our projects had come to a temporary end, so we made an appointment to go home together.
After returning home, Jian Jianan finished washing up and sat on the sofa at home, holding her head with her hands, feeling extremely tired. She was just thinking about some things, but she was too tired and fell asleep while thinking.
When Shan Jiqing finished washing up and came out, he saw Jian Jianan with his eyes closed. He had fallen asleep and was even snoring comfortably.
Shan Jiqing didn't disturb her. His girlfriend was too tired, so he decided to let her have a good rest.
Shan Jiqing gently carried Jian Jianan to the bed, covered her with a quilt, kissed her forehead, and then turned off the lights in the house.
However, Jian Jianan might have been born to be a hard worker, and she couldn't even get a good night's sleep. After a few hours, she suddenly woke up, gasping for breath.
"I won't sign the bankruptcy documents!" Jian Jianan suddenly sat up. He was awake but not mentally, and his eyes were full of confusion.
Shan Jiqing had been awakened by Jian Jianan when he was gasping for breath. He immediately patted Jian Jianan's shoulder and asked in a gentle voice, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Jian Jianan did not answer, but under Shan Jiqing's gentle comfort, the panting sound slowly disappeared, and Jian Jianan's expression gradually returned to clarity.
Seeing this, Shandan Jiqing guessed that she might be having a nightmare, and this nightmare was very likely related to what happened to Gao Xi during this period.
Shan Jiqing patted Jian Nan and enveloped her in his arms. "What's wrong, Nan Nan? Did you dream about something?"
Jian Jianan muttered to himself, "I dreamed that Gao Xi had run out of money. The people in the next dozen or so departments couldn't be paid a single salary for three months. Moreover, the chip R&D project was still far away and might not be successfully developed for several years."
What you think about during the day you will dream about at night. She was already terrified when she had this dream, and now just recounting this nightmare made her already tense spirit collapse even more, and she was on the verge of exploding.
"Later... later there was really no other way. There was no cash left on the books, so I could only submit the documents and go through the motions. At least after our real estate was auctioned, I could still pay my employees' salaries and severance pay, so I wasn't too much of a failure..." Jian Jianan said slowly.
Shan Jiqing was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He knew that Jian Jianan had been under a lot of pressure recently, but she always appeared optimistic in front of others. Just looking at her smiling and talking and chatting with everyone so energetically every day, how could anyone have thought that she would have such a nightmare every day at night!
When Shan Jiqing thought of this, he felt even more pity for Jian Jianan and couldn't help but hug her a little tighter. Jian Jianan was originally smaller than Shan Jiqing, and now that he hugged her like this, her whole body shrank into his arms, making her feel very safe.
Jian Jianan's breathing gradually returned to normal as she emerged from the nightmare she had just had. Shan Jiqing breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to joke with Jian Jianan: "Really? How could your nightmare be about something like this? If that's the case, then I'll have to speed up the chip-making process!"
Jian Jianan slapped Shan Jiqing's arm in annoyance, "What are you talking about! I'm anxious, but I also know there's no way to rush it! If I put too much pressure on you, you'll definitely become more and more nervous, and the result might be counterproductive. No matter what others say, you R&D personnel should stick to your own plan and don't let others disrupt it!"
Shan Jiqing suddenly felt more pity for Jian Jianan in his heart. He suddenly got up from the bed and let Jian Jianan out of his arms.
Jian Jianan looked very confused and cast a questioning look at him from the bed.
Shan Jiqing stood by the bed and suddenly stretched out a hand towards Jian Jianan: "Do you want to go for a walk with me?"
Jian Jianan was shocked: "Now? Going for a walk now?"
Which young couple is going for a walk so late at night?
She and Shan Jiqing had a habit of taking walks regularly. Walking was an activity that could greatly enhance their relationship, but going out for a walk late at night when there wasn't anything to see outside?!
Who would have thought that Shan Jiqing seemed determined to go for a walk right now. He extended his hand to Jian Jianan, looking determined and saying, "Yes, now, I sincerely invite Mr. Jian Jianan to go for a walk with me right now."
"Okay then." It was a rare occasion for her boyfriend to have such an idea. She couldn't sleep anyway, and her mind was in a mess after that nightmare, so she might as well accept Shan Jiqing's invitation.
Jian Jianan slowly placed his hand on Shan Jiqing's upturned palm and agreed to his request to go out for a walk.
Shan Jiqing was very happy and said with a hearty smile: "Okay, let's set off now."
"Now? I'm in my pajamas, let me change!"
Shan Jiqing: "Why change? Pajamas are the most comfortable to wear. Just wear pajamas!"
Jian Jianan shook his head: "Pajamas are indeed comfortable, but they will get dirty if you walk outside. It's better to change into a set of going out clothes. Wait for me for a few minutes, I'll be done soon!"
Just like that, Jian Jianan changed his clothes in two minutes and went out for a walk with Shan Jiqing, who was also wearing home clothes.
Before leaving, Jian Jianan took a very careful look at the time. It was five o'clock in the evening, all the dogs were asleep, and there was no one on the street except the two of them!
Jian Jianan was still tense until she left the house. There was no other way. The burden on her was too heavy. The livelihoods of hundreds of people in such a big company were on her shoulders. If she made a wrong decision, what would happen to these people?
Jian Jianan now has to be extremely cautious with every step he takes. Before doing anything, he has to think three steps ahead, and think carefully about the cause and effect of things and connect them together before taking the next step.
Now going out for a walk with Shan Jiqing is a rare leisure time for her in this year.
Compared with the somewhat nervous Jian Jianan, Shan Jiqing seemed particularly relaxed. He held his girlfriend's arm and walked on the deserted street at five in the morning, as if he was walking on the red carpet.
Even Jian Jianan, who was tense all over, couldn't help but relax a little because of her boyfriend.
"Tell me, what exactly do you want me to come out for? You can't really just come for a walk?" Although Jian Jianan has been working in the business world for a long time, to people close to her, she is still the little girl who can't keep secrets.
"Can't I just really want to go out for a walk with you?" Shan Jiqing asked with a smile.
Jian Jianan nodded seriously: "Well, that's actually possible. But how come I never knew that our Professor Shan Jiqing actually likes to go out for a walk in the early morning?"
Shan Jiqing ignored Jian Jianan's teasing, "Before, not only you, but even I didn't know I had this hobby. Isn't it only now that I met you that I unlocked this new hobby?"
Nan's friend was so good at sweet talk that Jian Jianan couldn't handle it for a while and quickly changed the subject.
Although there was no one on the street, she couldn't help but feel a little hot in her ears after listening to Shan Jiqing's good words all the time.
When Shan Jiqing said "take a walk" it sounded like it was really just a walk, with no destination at all. Jian Jianan didn't know which intersection they would take next or which street they would turn into. She just handed her hand to Shan Jiqing with complete confidence and let him take her for a walk.
The two of them were in high spirits now. Shan Jiqing even talked to Jian Jianan in a high-spirited manner about interesting things happening nearby.
"Look at this shop called Dongsheng. It's actually a small shop that sells foreign dolls. When it first opened, many neighbors came to the shop and scolded the owner, saying that the owner had caused their children to lose their appetite and bring in these harmful things from abroad, which seriously harmed the children's physical and mental health. They came to demand justice from the owner and said they would not leave until the owner destroyed all the goods and swore not to sell dolls anymore."
Later, the owner got so angry that she actually closed the shop. However, she didn't leave. She just put all the dolls in the warehouse and started selling other stationery. She also sold them at a very high price. Every item was almost double the purchase price elsewhere! However, the shop was located in front of the school, which was a great location, so business was still booming.
After hearing this, Jian Jianan burst out laughing, "Hahaha, hahaha! I bet when those parents came to block the door of the doll shop last time, they never thought that they would have to pay twice the price than other places to buy stationery! And they couldn't refuse, so they had to pinch their noses and accept it!"
Shan Jiqing nodded with a smile and continued to take Jian Jianan for a walk to the next location.
"Do you remember this place?"
Jian Jianan took a look and said, "Remember, we came here on a business trip once, and you happened to be on vacation, so you came with me, and we had a candlelight dinner in the restaurant downstairs."
"Yes." Shan Jiqing looked back at Jian Jianan with affection, "You still remember."
Jian Jianan looked back with the same affection: "How could I forget?"
They continued walking. More than an hour had passed since they first started walking. They walked more and more and became more energetic.
But slowly, Jian Jianan began to feel a little tired.
Normally at this time, Shan Jiqing, who was the most considerate and aware of her thoughts, would usually suggest going back to sleep and rest, but now, Shan Jiqing seemed not to notice, and continued to walk forward with Jian Jianan, saying that they wanted to continue walking.
"You'll sleep well if you sweat a little. Anyway, I looked at your schedule and you don't have anything to do tomorrow, so you can go to the company later."
Jian Jianan had no choice but to passively follow Shan Jiqing and continue forward.
But as they walked, Jian Jianan gradually realized that something was wrong.
If the initial walk was really just a walk, aimless and aimless, then why does the route that Shan Jiqing is taking us now look so familiar?
If she was not mistaken, the route that Shan Jiqing led her on should be the route to... to Gao Xi?
Gradually, as he passed by more and more familiar buildings, Jian Jianan's guess was increasingly confirmed.
She was right in feeling, Shan Jiqing was indeed leading her towards Gao Xi.
But why is this?
Jian Jianan knew that Shan Jiqing would not hurt him in any way. It was more reliable to say that he wanted to hurt himself than to say that he wanted to harm himself, so he let him take him to the destination with complete confidence.
Shan Jiqing was still holding Jiang Jiannan's hand, and the two of them were walking like an old couple. They arrived at the park outside Gao Xi at this time. It was already late, but some offices were still lit.
Jian Jianan frowned as he watched, "Why aren't they going to sleep? I remember before I left, I told Haiyan and the others to turn off the lights and get some rest. I have to tell them a few times before they realize the importance of rest. If you want to find a solution to a problem, you have to stay healthy. You can't achieve that by staying up all night or two..."
Jian Jianan wanted to say something, but Shan Jiqing interrupted her, "Nannan, think about it, does this scene feel familiar to you?"
Jian Jianan was stunned. "Familiar? You mean..."
Shan Jiqing nodded. "Don't you think we're back in the States? Back then, you were interning at Goldman Sachs, and every day you came home very late, just like now. I'd drive to pick you up after class, no matter how late it was, I'd always be able to pick you up and go home together."
Jian Jianan was also reminded of distant memories by Shan Jiqing's words. "Yes, it's still vivid in my mind now. It was the first time I was so far away from home, and it was also the first time the two of us were so close together."
She and Shan Jiqing grew up together, but that was always under the supervision of the parents of the two families. She had never been away from home for such a long time, and she lived under the same roof with Shan Jiqing. However, it was also thanks to that year that Jian Jianan finally realized her feelings and confirmed her relationship with Shan Jiqing. From then on, the two of them never separated again.
Thinking of this, Jian Jianan silently straightened the collar of her clothes, as if she understood a little why Shan Jiqing brought her here.
Shan Jiqing put his arm around her shoulders and looked at the brightly lit Gaoxi Building.
At night, it was not as bustling and lively as during the day. Only a few lights were on. But even from these few lights, Jian Jianan could sense how anxious and impatient the people in the room were, just like she was during the day.
When the night passes and the day comes, countless people will flock to the high-paying buildings and return to the battle after a night's rest.
Whether we can get through this difficult time depends on everyone.
"Actually...actually I'm not afraid of you laughing at me when I say this. I have already prepared the documents for bankruptcy application and placed them on the second floor of our safe." Jian Jianan suddenly said.
Shan Jiqing raised his eyebrows: "Oh, really? I never knew that."
"Well, now you know."
Jian Jianan was filled with emotion.
"Everyone always tells me I'm optimistic. Xiao Zhang and others say that no matter what happens, as long as they look back and see me smiling at them from behind, they'll have immense confidence and know they can get through it. But what they don't know is that sometimes I lose confidence myself."
"For example, this time, I can't hold on any longer." Jian Jianan poured out to his close ones the things that he couldn't say in front of others.
She has never experienced failure in her life.
There is no need to mention her experiences as a teenager. She was simply a favored child of heaven. Occasionally, when she went to help out in her parents' business, she would receive everyone's praise for coming up with perfect ideas.
When she was in college, she achieved great success one after another, and later the first investment company she founded also achieved great success.
Looking back on Jian Jianan's experience, it is no exaggeration to say that it has been smooth sailing.
But unexpectedly, she would not only fall, but if she did fall, it would be a big one!
If Gao Xi falls this time, who knows what others will say about her behind her back!
But Jian Jianan doesn't care about other people's gossip. She only cares about how to be responsible to the existing high-paid employees.
Salaries and severance pay could be paid from the proceeds of the real estate auction, but their future remains unclear, so we'll have to think about it...
Shan Jiqing suddenly turned her head towards him and ordered, "Stop thinking about it!"
Jian Jianan looked at him and finally gave up and sighed: "Okay, I don't want to think about it anymore."
Shan Jiqing then put down his hand with satisfaction, and led her to continue looking at the high-tech building, which stood silently in the dark.
"This is your inheritance! Don't you feel proud when you look at it?"
Jian Jianan nodded: "Of course, of course I'm proud!" This is an industry she founded, how could she not be proud?
But precisely because she was proud of Gao Xi, when this pride was shattered, it was particularly unacceptable.
But this was not Shan Jiqing's original intention in bringing her here.
Shan Jiqing stayed by Jian Jianan's side and said seriously, "Since you can build such an industry, then next time you can also create a similar industry, or even better than the current one."
"As long as you don't give up."
Not giving up means there is still a chance.
Shan Jiqing could see that Jian Jianan had been under tremendous pressure recently, and this pressure had a great impact on her mental health, otherwise she would not have had such a nightmare just now.
So he wanted to take Jian Jianan out for a walk and chat, and let her see his achievements in the past few years. Would it help relieve her mental stress?
It does help, and it helps significantly.
After his words of comfort, Jian Jianan felt much better. She took a long, deep breath and agreed, "Yes, you're right. Since I can build such a tall building, I can also build a second one. Even if it's auctioned off this time, I can still build the second building with the team that's still willing to follow me!"
Shan Jiqing breathed a sigh of relief. As soon as he heard Jian Jianan say this, he knew that the matter had been roughly resolved.
Jian Jianan has regained his previous vitality, all his depressed mood has been swept away, and he has become positive again.
"Let's go back." Jian Jianan turned his head first and stopped looking at the Gaoxi Building.
Shan Jiqing followed.
The way home was faster than the way here, and the two of them soon returned home.
Shan Jiqing originally thought that after this walk, Jian Jianan would be very tired and want to go to sleep.
But unexpectedly, his body was as strong as iron and he didn't feel tired or sleepy at all.
On the contrary, she was full of energy and spirit, and her eyes radiated a thirst for knowledge from within.
"That's perfect, Xiaoqing. Since we're all awake and can't sleep, let's work out our plans for the next period of time."
If she could straighten out the plan, she would save time from having a meeting with her subordinates to discuss it tomorrow.
Shan Jiqing: “…”
He just knew it!
I thought it was just a simple walk to cheer up Jian Jianan, but I didn't expect that the walk was over, but Jian Jianan's work was far from over.
"Okay, I'll go with you." Under the gaze of Jian Jianan's bright eyes, Shan Jiqing was unable to say no and agreed.
The two of them worked like this for a while until the sun rose.
This night walk had a great impact on Jian Jianan. It was like a deeply relaxing body massage, which gave her enough energy to allow her to walk for another three months.
During these three months, many major events have occurred in the communications industry.
By the end of the year, it had been almost a year since Western countries imposed technological sanctions on my country's communications industry.
In what seems like just one year, every company in this industry is experiencing daily torment that is enough to turn their entire life upside down.
They gritted their teeth and persevered with hope for the future, hoping that this hurdle would be overcome.
Some people endured and then took another path, some people endured and then went to deliver supplies to the other side, and some people gritted their teeth and refused to breathe a single breath. Finally, at the end of the year, the last group of people welcomed the dawn of hope that belonged to them.
At the end of December, Gao Xi's R&D laboratory and Shan Jiqing's project experimental group issued a joint statement that they had jointly developed a chip that was sufficient to provide daily operations for existing domestic mobile phones, and named it "Morning Light No. 1."
More importantly, the Chenguang-1 chip was successfully developed as early as the beginning of last month. After two months of repeated testing and verification, it was confirmed that the qualification rate of the Chenguang-1 chip was as high as over 80%, which can support most of Gaoxi's electronic equipment.
It was not until this time that Gao Xi took the initiative to make the decision to make the news public.
This means that with the Morning Light No. 1, they no longer need to worry about the technological blockade by Western countries!
I have something, so why should I be afraid that you can block it?
As soon as this news came out, everyone in Gaoxi was naturally overjoyed and felt relieved.
The humiliation and depression that lasted for a year seemed to have waved goodbye.
But apart from that, other people had a lot of opinions, and they implied that they didn't quite believe the news.
Jian Jianan had anticipated this situation and sent them an invitation to attend a discussion meeting during the New Year's Day.
She would answer all their questions at the meeting.
