Chapter 570: Full Progress

The entire day of the visit had left Raimondo restless and distracted.

After the banquet concluded, she returned to her room.

The few accompanying staff members also exchanged glances, feeling apprehensive.

"Did they really develop it?" Raimondo leaned against the sofa, her eyes cold and sharp. "Without purchasing our Semiconductor Chip, they cannot call it a 5G phone! I am all too familiar with the technical level of Jiuzhou; they cannot do it!"

Her assistant, Daisy, hesitated, but still spoke up:

"Ms. Raimondo... I regret to admit that Huaxia Mobile seems to have truly mastered the relevant core technology. No... more accurately, it was jointly developed with a research institute called 'Qianlu'."

"What is the background of this institute?" Raimondo's expression was very grim.

"Its predecessor was not private; it belonged to the national team, invested in and built to counter previous technical blockades. But now it has become a private research institute. The research confidentiality measures inside are very well executed. Currently, only the publicly announced 'Taotie 1' mobile Semiconductor Chip is known."

"There is also the 'Qiongqi 1' AI Semiconductor Chip developed at the same time, which is rumored to be ready to challenge the AI hegemony of ChatGPT."

Daisy read out the information they currently possessed with difficulty.

In reality, this was just the wind Zheng Qian had let out.

Actually, in a sense, the Semiconductor Chip currently equipped in Huaxia Mobile could already be called Taotie 1. But Zheng Qian decided to give this honor to Huaxia Mobile; it wouldn't matter if the next generation directly adopted Taotie 2.

The publicly announced situation is that it is Huaxia's own Semiconductor Chip model.

As for Taotie 1, it can be used in the Pro Max version.

"I really don't know what Shang Yanxiong and his people are doing!"

Raimondo stood up and paced the room. Her sharp gaze lingered on everyone's face, but no one dared to meet her eyes. They just kept their heads down, unwilling to bear the terrifying rage of this old woman alone.

"On the last day of the itinerary, I want to go to Shanghu." After a moment of contemplation, she seemed to regain her composure and said, word by word, "I want to see Shang Yanxiong. It's one thing that the information for this matter wasn't well understood in advance... but if that matter isn't handled well either..."

Raimondo slammed her hand onto the table fiercely.

Everyone shuddered.

...

At this moment, Zheng Qian was fiddling with his exclusive, custom-made Huaxia Super 5G phone, his eyes full of delight. This phone was custom-made for him by The Group to thank him for his support.

It was also equipped with the Taotie 1 Semiconductor Chip newly developed by Qianlu Research Institute.

Come to think of it, this was also the first time Zheng Qian had changed phones since he became wealthy.

His happiness wasn't just because of this newly upgraded Huaxia Mobile, but also because it contained the globally unique Taotie 1 Semiconductor Chip. Its performance was truly excellent, and it was not at all inferior even when compared to Apple.

He had even thought of an advertising slogan—

[Your next Apple, why must it be an Apple?]

What surprised Zheng Qian the most was that the photo quality was really quite good.

Even in the currently relatively dim bedroom, it still had impressive imaging capabilities. When he shifted the lens to her jade-like feet, Zheng Qian couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement; it was clear, simply too clear.

Even the skin here was so delicate that even after continuous zooming, he still couldn't see a single pore.

As expected of my Jin Lu.

"You're so annoying, don't take pictures randomly. What if it gets leaked?" Jin Lu let out a soft moan, hugged Zheng Qian tiredly, and chided, "The internet society is too unsafe now. Are you really that unconcerned?"

Zheng Qian laughed confidently, though he still put the phone away.

He actually really wasn't worried.

The two of them had now moved into the new home he had prepared.

The entire house's network architecture was a product of the institute, with almost the world's top-tier security protections in place. He had personally confirmed this and had even purchased relevant technology from the system store to ensure nothing went wrong.

Even the mobile phone had undergone special modifications; one could say the security had been pushed to the extreme.

It would be even better once their system was developed.

By then, a fully closed application environment would ensure privacy to a greater extent.

What? You say it's too difficult to make a closed system? That it's currently the world of Apple and Android?

Sorry, heavy rewards bring out brave men. If I, Zheng Qian, propose that anyone who develops a new app on this app store will receive a huge bonus, I wonder how you would respond to that?

The night passed without incident.

The next day, Zheng Qian arrived at the office of Qianlu Bank.

In the past half month, they had made a lot of breakthrough business progress. Besides the newly launched Huaxia Mobile, the movie "neon Summer" had also started its official preview screenings and received a very good response.

It then quickly began to roll out across major theater chains nationwide.

Although it is difficult for art films to have high box office returns, it was clear that this film had been reborn under the guidance of Hong Zhentao.

It was completely unlike ordinary art films that are long, repetitive, and have no exciting moments.

The plot was so tense and exciting that many people exclaimed it was satisfying.

Even more surprisingly, Yin Yanyan lived up to everyone's expectations and displayed outstanding acting skills in the movie. The few scenes she acted opposite Chu Tiange were especially tear-jerking, making people unable to help but weep, and tissues in the cinemas were sold out for a time.

Many people even knew this movie was very tear-jerking, yet they were reluctant to spend money on tissues.

So they went to steal frantically in the restrooms of the shopping malls where the cinemas were located.

So much so that those who came to accompany their wives, girlfriends, mistresses, or "comrades in the line of fire" encountered the embarrassment of finding no toilet paper when they went to the restroom. This invisibly promoted the rapid development of food delivery and errand services...

Especially during the preview screenings, Yin Yanyan personally sang the promotional song "neon".

At one point, these words circulated on the internet—

[When neon plays, tears appear].

This, of course, made Yu Shanghen so angry that he was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment several times.

Before the preview screenings began, he mobilized his connections to tell everyone not to support the film, especially friends in the media and entertainment circles, and big shots. Many people swore that they would absolutely not watch it and that they had to give him face.

But damn it...

They were the ones who talked the most happily during the interview segment!

They even cried while talking. After learning this news, Yu Shanghen ground his back teeth to pieces.

Looking at the constant stream of great victories and good news reports, Zheng Qian felt very gratified.

The office of Qianlu Bank had become the main base for Zheng Qian to handle matters. Just as he was pondering how to properly reward Yin Yanyan, a knock on the door sounded.

After receiving permission, two people appeared before him.

Chen Weiqiang and Liu Shiqi.

"President Zheng, you are truly like a dragon that shows its head but never its tail; it's been a long time since you returned to Yebai..."

As soon as she entered the door, Liu Shiqi's face bore half a part of mild anger, half a part of blame, three parts of shyness, five parts of joy, and one part of admiration. Hmm... ten parts of emotion; she had allocated the proportions very accurately.
