61: No one believes in Suihuo Technology, Lu Xingye is frantically cutting leeks

With the news reports and media broadcasts, Suihuo Technology completely exploded, causing a sensation far greater than the previous Kunlun System and Nano Battery.

“Jiuzhou Core.”

These four words quickly spread across the entire world.

Of course, along with “Jiuzhou Core,” Suihuo Technology also spread across the world.

Suihuo Technology's reputation was now thoroughly established.

Its fame grew rapidly.

Its popularity once surpassed that of Jiuzhou's long-established internet companies like BAT.

This news also reached overseas.

A small storm was stirred up in the overseas semiconductor and mobile phone industries. Of course, this storm was much smaller than in Jiuzhou, and many people even dismissed it as a joke.

TSMC, a semiconductor giant, heard the news, and its CEO publicly stated to the media:

“Suihuo Technology is just a nascent company, established for less than a year, and previously engaged in software and energy industries, never having ventured into the semiconductor industry.”

“Now you suddenly tell me you can produce 5nm chips? I remain skeptical of this claim.”

“If you said you could produce batteries or developed new software, I would believe that.”

“But...”

“You say you can produce semiconductors, that's a bit exaggerated.”

“Different industries are like different mountains.”

“The semiconductor industry requires vast theoretical knowledge and a huge scientific foundation. Suihuo Technology is not in this line of work; where would it get these conditions?”

“So, the online claims that Suihuo Technology can produce 5nm chips are simply baseless.”

“Please view this critically and don't be misled.”

Following TSMC's statement to the media, Qualcomm, Samsung, and Fruit Company all collectively spoke out in the media.

The content they expressed was slightly different from the TSMC Chairman's, but the general meaning was the same, basically saying:

It's not that we look down on you.

It's that you simply don't have this capability.

If you don't have the capability, stop boasting, lest everyone laughs at you... Mr. Ku of Fruit Company, upon seeing this news, had a bad feeling, but like TSMC, he simply didn't believe Suihuo Technology.

“Everyone, don't just follow the crowd.”

“Suihuo Technology has been established for less than a year; how could it have the ability to produce 5nm chips?”

“Suihuo Technology's announcement is just a market operation.”

“We need to view this critically.”

Two different opinions quickly fermented online: one believing in Suihuo Technology, the other not believing in Suihuo Technology.

Of course, most people didn't believe in Suihuo Technology...

Unlike the sensational commotion outside, it was quiet enough to hear a pin drop where Lu Xingye was.

Lu Xingye, wearing safety gloves, held a screwdriver in his left hand and an Alpha-ray light source in his right, meticulously modifying the lithography machines one by one.

One after another.

During this time, Lu Xingye had already upgraded twelve lithography machines.

Although upgrading a single lithography machine didn't take much time, about ten minutes would suffice.

However~

There were 88 units in total here.

The quantity was a bit large.

It was clearly impossible to finish in one day.

Lu Xingye took off his gloves, preparing to have dinner, then go back to relax, and continue working tomorrow.

After all, humans are flesh and blood, not steel.

Rest is still needed.

Health is the capital of revolution.

Only with a healthy body could he lead Suihuo Technology forward continuously.

Ring, ring, ring... A piercing phone ringtone sounded, interrupting Lu Xingye's thoughts. He picked up the phone and saw it was CEO Xu from Huawei Group calling.

“Student Lu...”

“Ah~ no.”

“Chairman Lu.”

“Where are you? I'm bringing the design drawings for the K chip right away. Can you help me see if it's possible to produce 5nm chips?”

Last week, upon hearing Lu Xingye's call, CEO Xu wanted to bring the chip design drawings to try. Now, seeing the announcement on Suihuo Technology's official website, his heart was even more inexplicably excited.

Huawei Mobile's high-end chips had a solution.

Unlike others.

CEO Xu was one of the few who believed Suihuo Technology could produce 5nm chips.

Huawei Mobile's chip supply had been cut off by the West for a long time.

Now, he urgently needed to find a new semiconductor manufacturer to produce and process 5nm chips for him.

Only then could Huawei Mobile return to the high-end market.

CEO Xu had waited for this day for a long time.

Fortunately... he finally waited for it...

Lu Xingye put down the tools in his hand and casually sat on the nearby floor. Listening to CEO Xu's anxious voice from the receiver, a smile unconsciously formed on his lips.

CEO Xu, oh CEO Xu!

I haven't even started harvesting yet!

You're already so eager to send me money?

You're truly a good person.

“Oriental New City Warehouse.”

“Hurry over!”

“I'll work some overtime tonight to help you see if the K chip can be produced.” Lu Xingye lightly tapped the screen with his thumb, and the location information was sent.

“Good, good, good!”

“I'll be there right away.” CEO Xu replied excitedly.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Xingye went to the workshop to change out of his work clothes into casual wear, then went to eat.

Then.

During dinner, he would discuss with Jarvis how to harvest Huawei's leeks.

A big fat piece of meat delivered to his door.

It would be foolish not to take it...

About an hour later.

Lu Xingye finished dinner and had Jarvis model and analyze the optimal harvesting plan.

(*^ω^*)

CEO Xu had already arrived, followed by five men.

Two of them were tall, muscular, and looked very formidable.

Lu Xingye guessed these two were CEO Xu's bodyguards.

The other three men wore thick prescription glasses and had a refined, scholarly appearance.

Lu Xingye guessed these three were Huawei chip engineers. He looked at the two bodyguards beside CEO Xu and asked on a whim.

“Yubing, can you beat those two big men?”

Long Yubing heard this, looked up at the two big men, and a look of disdain appeared in her eyes.

“Those show-offs, I can take on ten of them myself.”

“...”

“Show-offs?” Lu Xingye was secretly startled. Although he didn't understand what 'show-offs' meant, he understood the latter phrase “can take on ten of them.”

So his bodyguard was that amazing!

Lu Xingye sighed inwardly.

“Show-offs mean they're just for show, like a vase.” Perhaps sensing Lu Xingye's confusion, Long Yubing explained blandly.

“...”

Lu Xingye shrank his neck, his gaze subtly shifting towards the two big men.

Perhaps the two big men weren't paying attention, or perhaps they heard it but didn't want to argue.

So there was no conflict...

“CEO Xu.”

“You brought the confidentiality agreement, right?”

“Let's quickly sign the confidentiality agreement with each other, and then you can give me the design drawings for the K chip.”

“I'll take them in to debug the lithography machine and see if I can help you produce the chips.”
