67: Attending the graduation ceremony, this year's graduates all lived under Lu Xingye's shadow

Time flew by.

In a blink of an eye, three days had passed.

During these three days, Lu Xingye mostly stayed in the lithography machine warehouse, upgrading the lithography machine daily.

Now, the lithography machine has been fully upgraded.

All 88 lithography machines were transported to the factory workshops acquired by Suihuo Technology.

Full power ahead.

They are working at full capacity to produce 5nm smartphone wafers.

Thanks to Mr. Xu from Huawei Group helping to promote the semiconductor business, Suihuo Technology’s semiconductor division has grown very rapidly.

Basically, all mobile phone manufacturers capable of designing 5nm wafer blueprints have approached Suihuo Technology for wafer processing.

As for those mobile phone manufacturers unable to design their own mobile phone wafers, they can only purchase mobile phone wafers from Qualcomm.

Because Suihuo Technology has not yet developed its own wafer.

Actually... Lu Xingye was keenly aware of the current market situation.

For Suihuo Company to develop further, its next product release must be smart wafers and smartphones.

Only by launching its own smartphone can it monopolize the entire mobile terminal market.

A phone system superior to iOS... a phone battery superior to Fruit Mobile’s battery... and a phone wafer superior to Fruit Mobile’s wafer... Walk others’ paths, leaving them no path to take.

Further strengthening itself and continuously squeezing Fruit Company’s market share.

Hehe!

At this moment, Lu Xingye really wanted to ask Mr. Ku to his face: Are you panicking?

…Since Suihuo Technology’s own wafer has not yet been successfully developed, Lu Xingye planned to spend the entire day today reading books in his sea-view villa.

Jarvis displayed the book collection from the Iron Man world on the computer screen.

These were all books related to smart wafers and robots, and their content differed significantly from the main world, with related principles not entirely the same.

But Lu Xingye read them with great interest.

“So it can be done this way…”

Combining and cross-referencing the scientific theories from both worlds, Lu Xingye’s knowledge level was rapidly increasing, and design inspiration for smart phone wafers also burst forth, with his ideas becoming more and more mature.

“Boss.”

“There’s a call coming in now, it should be He Chendong, your university’s entrepreneurship director.”

Lu Xingye, who was reading, was abruptly interrupted by Jarvis’s notification, feeling a slight displeasure.

But upon hearing it was He Chendong calling, that displeasure vanished. He Chendong had helped him a lot when Suihuo Technology was first established.

Lu Xingye should answer this call.

“Hello, Teacher He.” Lu Xingye pressed the answer button, chatting with He Chendong while continuing to read.

After taking NZT-48, Lu Xingye felt a sense of ease in everything he did.

For example, multitasking like this.

He could even do three things at once.

“Student Lu.”

“I’ve been following you recently, and your Suihuo Technology is developing quite well! You’ve accomplished many things we wanted to do but couldn’t, and invented many things we wanted to invent but couldn’t.”

He Chendong’s hearty laughter came from the other end of the line.

“Oh, it’s nothing…”

“Teacher He, you flatter me.” Lu Xingye humbly replied.

It was unclear when it started, but when the two called each other, they no longer went straight to the point, but instead exchanged pleasantries and well wishes.

Lu Xingye told Teacher He about his recent situation, and the other party sighed with emotion, directly stating that Lu Xingye was the protagonist of this world... After a moment of reflection, He Chendong revealed the purpose of his call.

“Tomorrow is the graduation ceremony.”

“Will you come back to attend?”

“Although this graduation ceremony might not be very important to you now.”

“Of course I’ll attend.” Lu Xingye’s gaze paused upon hearing this. Scenes of happy university days replayed in his mind. The graduation ceremony marked the end of university, the conclusion of his student era.

He would definitely attend such an important day.

“That’s good.”

“I originally thought you had struck it rich and wouldn’t care about these things anymore.”

Sigh... Am I such a bad person?

Lu Xingye chuckled self-deprecatingly; he naturally knew He Chendong’s remark was a joke… Just then, He Chendong’s voice came through again.

“At the graduation ceremony, I’ve reserved a spot for you. You’ll be speaking as our school’s outstanding graduate representative; those junior students really look up to you.”

“Isn’t that a bit much?” Lu Xingye awkwardly rubbed his nose.

To be honest.

He had never been a student representative speaker in his life, and it seemed his first time, preserved for over a decade, was about to be broken.

“What’s wrong with that?”

“I’m telling you, this is tailor-made for you.”

“Because you are so outstanding, this graduating class is living in your shadow. If you don’t go up to speak, then who else is qualified to speak?”

Listening to He Chendong’s tone, as if he was frustrated that Lu Xingye couldn’t meet expectations, Lu Xingye reluctantly agreed.

The next morning, prompted by Jarvis, Lu Xingye woke up early. After washing up and having breakfast, he saw that it was almost time.

He then rushed to the Yanjing University gymnasium.

This graduation ceremony was held in the gymnasium.

He Chendong had originally offered to pick him up, but Lu Xingye felt that it would be too high-profile and didn’t suit his personality, so he declined.

He still preferred to arrive quietly and then leave quietly.

Upon arriving at the gymnasium, Lu Xingye was led by a school volunteer to his seat. Since he was to speak as a student representative, his seat was quite prominent, placing him in the same row as the school leaders and guests.

The graduation ceremony had already begun for a while.

As soon as Lu Xingye took his seat, He Chendong immediately took the microphone and walked onto the stage, his face radiant and spirits high.

It was evident that as the patron of Suihuo Technology,

his status had significantly risen due to Suihuo Technology’s meteoric rise. He truly felt honored by it.

He Chendong tapped the microphone, and after confirming the equipment was working properly, a magnetic voice filled the entire venue.

“Dear graduates.”

“Good morning, everyone.”

“I believe everyone here today is eager to hear Student Lu Xingye’s speech.”

“Suihuo Technology, established by Student Lu, achieved over 100 billion in revenue in less than a year. This feat is nothing short of a legend in the entrepreneurial world.”

“Even I, your teacher, have to admit it.”

“Yesterday, you were proud of the school; today, the school is proud of you.”

“Student Lu, you’ve done well.”

“We are proud of you.”

As He Chendong’s voice faded, a burst of enthusiastic applause erupted in the gymnasium, so loud that the nearby windows rattled.

On the large screen behind the main stage, various moments of Suihuo Technology’s establishment were played in rotation.

First, its official establishment.

Then, the release of the first domestic smartphone operating system.

Then, the release of the Nano Battery, revolutionizing the entire energy industry.

And then, the improvement of lithography machines, enabling Kyushu to produce its own wafers and breaking the technological bottleneck.

It could be said that every single thing Suihuo Technology had ever done was a legend.

As the students watched, they gradually became fans.

Lu Xingye was about to be their alumnus.

And also their idol.

He Chendong raised both hands, and after the students quieted down, he loudly announced:

“Now, let’s welcome Student Lu Xingye to the stage to deliver his speech.”

“Please give him a warm round of applause.”
