Analog company starts with technology

"Xingyuan Technology had no choice but to release the concept video in order to prevent us from entering the Chinese market. According to their words, it was already too hard to get off the ground, so they had no choice but to use it even though they knew that this approach could not solve the fundamental problem."

Kuras answered Lucy's questions with unprecedented patience, and after saying this, he asked another question.

"Also, let me ask you, do you know how this video was posted online?"

"Xingyuan Technology's own intern took the photo and uploaded it." Lucy replied directly.

When Kulas heard this, the smile on his face suddenly became brighter, which seemed to prove that his analysis was correct. He slightly twitched the corner of his mouth to the right and sneered: "Even the news was released by their own people. If it’s not self-directed and self-acted, then what is it? Let the person in charge of the Magic City headquarters prepare in advance. When Xingyao falls into public opinion, it will be our opportunity to regain the market for fruit mobile phones.”

"I'll make arrangements right away."

Lucy's thoughts suddenly became clear at this moment, and she immediately nodded in response to Kuras's order.

Obviously, he has no doubts about Kulas's inference.

After saying that, he immediately turned around and exited the office.

Kuras was once again left alone in the spacious office. He stood up and walked to the wine cabinet next to him, took out a bottle of red wine that he had collected for a long time, and poured himself a glass.

Although Xingyao still occupies the absolute majority of the market share in China, it does not prevent him from celebrating in advance.

…

…

At night.

Longhu High-tech Park.

Sitting in his luxurious suite on the top floor of the main office building, Niu Geng silently opened the familiar light curtain and checked the amount of personal funds he currently owned.

"More than 2.5 billion personal funds can purchase more than 2 million optimization points. However, with the latest chip manufacturing technology developed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, it should not take many optimization points to achieve improvement."

"Then let's spend ten thousand to test the water first..."

With Niu Geng's current amount of personal funds, there is no need to worry about insufficient optimization points, but in order to achieve appropriate results, special attention must be paid to its use.

If it is too little, the optimized technology will not meet the requirements, which will increase the probability of failure of the next optimization.

If you attack too many things at once, the technological level will be far higher than the current technological level of the world.

In other words, even with a complete set of technologies, it cannot be created.

It was out of these considerations that Niu Geng finally chose the value of 10,000 optimization points.

After saying that, he immediately spent 10 million personal funds and purchased 10,000 optimization points.

Although the best result is a success, to be honest, Niu Geng is not very sure, because what he got from Xingling is the latest high-end lithography machine technology mastered by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which includes multiple branch technologies and It’s not just a single item. How many optimization points are needed to meet the requirements still needs to be tried.

To describe it in one sentence, it is like crossing the river by feeling for the stones.

[You will use optimization points to optimize high-end lithography machine technology. Once selected, it is irrevocable and the optimization effect shall be subject to the facts]

Ignoring the familiar pop-up prompts, Niu Geng decisively chose to use them all.

Then he concentrated on checking whether the optimized photolithography machine technology could meet the requirements of manufacturing chips for smart terminals.

But then something unexpected happened!

One minute passed...

three minutes……

…

Niu Geng's head was still empty, and there was no information about the photolithography machine technology. At the same time, the technology downloaded from Xingling's database had not changed at all.

It's like the optimization points didn't work.

Completely different from the previous times.

When using optimization points for a certain technology, as long as the optimization is successful, relevant knowledge and information will enter the mind.

controlled by the host.

Since there are no changes this time, it only means one problem, that is, the optimization failed.

"Why did the optimization using optimization points fail for the first time? This has never happened before. It's really strange!"

Niu Geng wanted to understand the reason, and couldn't help but murmur in his heart. It can be said that it was full of surprises. Even though many minutes had passed since the optimization, he still could not fully accept the fact that the optimization failed.

After all, what was wasted was 10 million personal funds.

Forget it if it's the company's money. Even if I have a lot of money, I can't bear to see it being wasted.

The key is that this has never happened before. Although there is a failure rate when using optimization points, it will always succeed no matter how many optimization points are used for the first time. If it fails at the beginning, you can't even find it with a lantern. .

To be honest, when Niu Geng used optimization point 1, the number of optimizations was not too small, but the number of failures was only a handful.

Not to mention full luck, it should be at least an average level.

Situations like today made Niu Geng feel like he had run out of good things.

If it fails, the loss will be 100,000 optimization points, which is 100 million yuan in personal funds.

However, when things have reached this point, there is no reason to give up halfway. After all, the problem of chips required for smart terminals must be solved.

Whether it costs a hundred thousand or a million optimization points.

"Try again, if it still doesn't work, then..."

"Again."

Thinking of this, Niu Geng hummed softly, and skillfully purchased 100,000 optimization points and chose to use them directly.

There was no delay along the way.

The next second.

Under Niu Geng's full attention, he suddenly felt something happened in his mind.

The corners of his mouth slowly curved up, revealing a slight smile.

Because he knew this wave was stable.

…

Time always passes by inadvertently, and soon nearly two months have passed.

During this period, the smart terminal project responsible for the research center has made tremendous progress, and the most critical precision chip manufacturing technology has been conquered.

The high-end lithography machine in the chip manufacturing plant affiliated to the Chinese Academy of Sciences has been successfully upgraded and has the technology to produce 1-nanometer chips.

And it can be OEM for Xingyao to mass produce high-performance chips specially designed for smart terminals.

That's right.

That night, after using 100,000 optimization points, Niu Geng successfully optimized the latest lithography machine technology mastered by the Chinese Academy of Sciences and came up with a technology that fully met the needs. This made the project progress rapidly.

And it is worth mentioning that Niu Geng did not directly use this technology in his own name. Instead, he gave it to Xing Ling and asked her to gradually guide Tong Xiangyun and the others.

Facts have proved that this method has a very good effect.

Although Xing Ling's image in everyone's minds was once again elevated, and even a sense of awe was aroused, the results were satisfactory.

Especially Lin Wan, the person in charge of Xingyao, was so happy that he could jump one meter high.

The negative emotions that had been suppressed in my heart disappeared in an instant like the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves.

Immediately, we began to focus all our energy on the production line and manufacture smart terminals.

Still don't dare to be careless in the slightest.

Because of the cost of this smart terminal, even if it has complete technology, it will be difficult to mass-produce it in a short time. Purchase restrictions will be implemented after it goes online. Therefore, in order to satisfy users as much as possible, Lin Wan can only watch it personally. , to ensure that the supply of goods can finally reach an appropriate value.

You must know that the time has entered the end of December, and there are still two or three months before the smart terminal is officially launched.

…

2022, January 3.

on Monday.

Just after New Year's Day, Niu Geng did not expect that the first thing he encountered when he returned to work was related to the fruit company.

"Mr. Niu, Kulas, CEO of the fruit company, will arrive in Jingzhou today. Do we need to send someone to greet him?" In the office, Qin Xiaoman held a document and reported the latest situation.

"This old guy moves pretty fast." Niu Geng frowned when he heard the news.

I don’t know what this Kulas is planning.

It's strange to say that news suddenly came from the American Fruit headquarters two days ago that its CEO Kulas will go to Jingzhou Xingyuan Technology Longhu High-tech Park for study and exchange.

Exchanges and studies between companies are not uncommon news, but Kulas came directly on a private plane without waiting for a response from Star Source Technology.

There is a sense of forced moral kidnapping.

After all, the CEO of a well-known fruit mobile phone company personally visited for exchanges and learning. If Xingyuan Technology refused to accept this kind of self-degradation, it would inevitably have a negative impact on itself internationally and would be detrimental to the company's integration with the world.

What's even more helpless is that I don't know who leaked the news in advance, causing many domestic news media to take action after hearing the news.

I would like to make a special report on this meeting between the two parties.

For today's media, most of them have fallen into the vortex of blind pursuit of popularity, and some even distort the facts and maliciously edit.

When the heads of two large companies like Xingyuan Technology and Fruit Company met, the title alone was full of traffic, so how could they give up.

While Niu Geng was thinking about this matter, Qin Xiaoman's voice sounded in his ears again.

"In addition, many reporters have rushed to the airport now, and they all want to interview Kuras as soon as possible."

"No matter what the plans are for the fruit, since we are here, we can't stay out of it. Let He Guang take someone to pick him up. It's best to avoid those reporters." Niu Geng paused, then made a decision and said to Qin Xiaoman ordered.

There were so many reporters gathered at the airport. It would not be good if Kulas really accepted an interview and said something unfavorable to Xingyuan Technology.

So it’s better to take him back to the park first.

Such small things are no problem for He Guang.

"It's Mr. Niu, I'll do it now."

When Qin Xiaoman received the order, he naturally did not dare to hesitate. He responded and immediately left the office.

——

at the same time.

Jingzhou International Airport.

Compared with large airports such as the Magic City and Imperial Capital, which are often visited by celebrities, reporters and cameras are basically invisible at the airport in Jingzhou City.

But today it seems very different...

Looking around, I saw many journalists holding microphones standing at the exit of the airport. Judging from the signs above, many of them were well-known media. Coupled with the cameras behind them that were comparable to guns and cannons, the scene once surprised other passengers.

When passing by here, people will stop involuntarily and talk quietly.

"What's going on today? When did Jingzhou Airport become so busy? There are so many reporters here."

"Good guy, the scene is almost as good as a large-scale event."

"Is it possible that some big star is coming to Jingzhou? Maybe he can get an autograph by the way."

"I just checked on the Internet. There is a rumor that Kulas, the CEO of the fruit company, is here. He is probably going to discuss cooperation with Xingyuan Technology."

"Could it be that something big is coming? If these two companies join forces to cause trouble, the entire industry will be shaken."

"Let's all disperse quickly, don't gather together!"

In the end, as the crowds grew larger and larger, the airport had to deploy security forces and even request police assistance to maintain order.

In this way, with many media reporters anxiously waiting, Kuras's plane arrived safely at Jingzhou International Airport. In addition to Kuras and his assistant Lucy, there were only a few bodyguard men in suits and sunglasses accompanying him.

It can be seen that Kulas did not have much preparation for this trip.

"Boss, we're here."

As the hatch opened, Lucy quickly stood up and walked outside with Kuras.

"Um."

In this regard, Kulas just nodded, and his eyes immediately turned to He Guang and his party who were already waiting.

To be honest, Kulas was quite excited at this time.

Last time he invited Niu Geng to the fruit company headquarters to discuss cooperation matters, which caused so much unpleasantness. This time he finally had the opportunity to pay a return visit, so naturally he had a strong sense of expectation.

He also wanted to see for himself what this technology company that could rise rapidly in the industry was like.

As for why Kulas suddenly visited Jingzhou City, it is not difficult to understand.

Seeing that the time promised by Xingyao to go online for smart terminals is approaching, Kulas is sure that Xingyuan Technology will definitely not be able to fulfill its promise by then. It is indeed good for Fruit to make a comprehensive counterattack to regain market share under this opportunity.

However, in the event of a crazy counterattack by Xingyuan Technology, the interests of both parties will inevitably be lost in the fight.

After all, the Chinese market is ultimately the home field of Xingyuan Technology.

Therefore, during this period of time, Kulas decided to cooperate after careful consideration. If both parties can reach an agreement and jointly occupy the market and compete peacefully, it will undoubtedly be the best result.

Even if an agreement cannot be reached in the end, his visit to Jingzhou City this time can disrupt the layout of Xingyuan Technology, so why not.

Then when Kulas and his group came out of the plane and walked in front of He Guang and others, He Guang immediately stretched out his right hand and shook hands with Kulas Lucy.

"Mr. Kulas, Mr. Niu sent me to take you to Longhu Park, where he is waiting for you."

"I haven't met your boss for a long time."

Listening to He Guang's greetings, Kulas seemed very kind and spoke without any sense of distance. Those who didn't know it really thought that he and Niu Geng were such good friends.

Because when Niu Geng went to the fruit headquarters, He Guang was also in the team, and it was Lucy who greeted them, so everyone was not too unfamiliar. After a few polite words, He Guang followed Niu Geng's request. Escort Kuras and the others from the airport.

But what's interesting is that He Guang didn't notice that Lucy next to him looked at him meaningfully a few more times.

Since too many reporters gathered at the airport exit, Niu Geng did not want Kulas to be interviewed before arriving at the park, so He Guang did not take the normal exit and led Kulas through the employee passage.

Anyway, I already said hello to the person in charge of the airport before arriving.

certainly.

He Guang did not hide anything about this, and directly explained to Kulas: "Mr. Kulas, it is too unsafe outside, we should leave the airport through this passage."

"No problem, I believe in Mr. He's arrangement." Kuras spread his hands.

Kuras didn't think much about this, mainly because the news of his coming to Jingzhou City had been leaked, and he didn't know that there were many reporters outside. For his own safety, there was nothing wrong with this move.

What's more, he also knew that He Guang, the man in front of him, played a big role in Niu Geng's safe escape.

It is a pity that He Guang still underestimated the pursuit of news by media reporters.

When they arrived at the car and were about to drive back to Longhu High-Tech Park, a man wearing black-rimmed glasses not far away quickly took a few photos.

Even though it’s all from Kuras’s back.

…

It didn't take He Guang long to get from the airport to Longhu High-tech Park, and soon the motorcade drove into the park.

As for Niu Geng, out of courtesy, he took Qin Xiaoman downstairs to greet him.

"Mr. Kulas, I haven't seen your company's products for a long time, but they are getting better and better."

"It's still not comparable to your Xingyuan Technology. The popularity of smart terminals some time ago has spread to the outside world."

The moment Niu Geng Kulas met, they hugged each other politely, and did not forget to ridicule each other.

But Niu Geng didn’t think there was anything wrong with Kulas’ words. After all, smart terminals have indeed aroused heated discussions around the world, and are now entering the final preparation stage before going online.

It's just a compliment.

So he responded without humility: "Of course at that time, we planned to occupy the global market share with this product."

Kuras: "Oh, really?"

For Kulas, Niu Geng's words were obviously pretentious. He could not even completely conquer the relevant technology, yet he could still say such words shamelessly.

While he deliberately said something perfunctory, he secretly muttered in his heart: "You are really tough-talking!"

Naturally, Niu Geng didn't know what Kulas was really thinking. After learning from He Guang that they were not interviewed by reporters at the airport, he immediately relaxed and invited Kulas again:

"Mr. Kulas, let's go upstairs first so we can discuss anything."

"no problem."

Kulas smiled heartily, and then followed Niu Geng into the building.

As for Qin Xiaoman, He Guang, Lucy and others, they followed closely and came to the reception room next to President Niu Geng's office.
