248: Meeting with the experts
"Not at all, it's my luck to have invited Engineer Niu. Likewise, it's my luck to meet the two professors today." Liu Xiaolin said with a smile, "If I can cooperate with the two of you, that would be my greatest luck!"
"General Manager Cui told us that you want to develop a lithography machine." Li Zhaolong analyzed the current situation seriously, "Currently, New West Country's lithography machine is dominant, Beautiful Country's lithography machine is close behind, and other countries' lithography machines are just so-so. Our Dragon Country's lithography machine development is still in its initial stage."
"We cannot go all-in like Smi Company in Beautiful Country. We need to work on both fronts, walking on two legs." Lu Yifan also had many ideas, "We need to allocate our human, material, and financial resources to the most important areas. For less important things like double workbenches, photoresists, testing instruments, etc., we can outsource the processing. We just need to master the core technology."
Liu Xiaolin recalled some of the blueprints given by the strongest manufacturing system. It seemed like these instruments were included. He thought that since he had the blueprints, he should just make them himself. Jiantuan Electronics was originally an OEM electronics company, so developing and processing things himself would be easier to manage and develop.
"That's right, our Jiantuan Electronics is an OEM company itself, so there's no need to outsource processing to others. Therefore, we still plan to develop the instruments that Professor Lu just mentioned ourselves. Moreover, I have already obtained a complete set of design blueprints for the lithography machine." Liu Xiaolin said cautiously.
"What did you say? You've already obtained a complete set of design blueprints for the lithography machine?" Li Zhaolong felt his heart beat several times faster.
"Yes, I have the design blueprints, and I've also reserved a new workshop that will be installed and completed tomorrow." Liu Xiaolin felt there was no need to keep this information a secret from the two experts in front of him.
"That's great. With the design blueprints, the development will be twice as effective." Lu Yifan was very happy.
"But there are over 100,000 parts on the lithography machine. Are you sure we need to make all of them ourselves?" Li Zhaolong was still a little worried.
"The lithography machine is an integrated product. As long as the company has strong influence in the industry, a complete supply chain, and the ability to control and coordinate suppliers, coupled with our R&D personnel's research on the lithography machine design blueprints, we don't need to worry about where the more than 100,000 parts come from. Because Jiantuan Electronics itself is a benchmark in the industry, high-precision parts can be produced in-house, and ordinary parts can be processed by suppliers. In short, I am very confident." Liu Xiaolin revealed his thoughts from the past few days.
"When do we start?" Li Zhaolong and Lu Yifan were both eager to try.
"Let's start next Monday. I need to contact all the necessary experts this week." Liu Xiaolin thought to himself, he didn't know if that math expert would be easy to talk to, so a slightly later start wouldn't be bad.
After confirming cooperation with Li Zhaolong and Lu Yifan, they had a few cups of tea and the meeting ended.
The meeting with Zhuang Wuya and Yang Zhenzhi the next day was also similar, filled with excitement, enthusiasm, and inspiration. Anyway, they all agreed to cooperate and had the determination to work hard.
"We still need a math expert." Hong Tongtong looked at Liu Xiaolin and said.
"Yes, we still need a math expert." Liu Xiaolin also glanced at Hong Tongtong.
Cui Zhaocheng saw the two repeating this sentence, as if they both had some ideas.
"Do you both have someone in mind?" The smart him heard the hidden meaning.
"Yes, before we came to Kunhe City, we met Professor Liang, who told us about an eccentric math expert named Wei Junyi." Liu Xiaolin replied.
"Wei Junyi? He's a professor at Longguo University, right?" Cui Zhaocheng shook his head and said, "I contacted him back then, but he ignored me. I guess it will be difficult for you to invite him too."
"How will we know if we don't try?" Liu Xiaolin said firmly, "Longguo University is not far from here. Let's set off now and we can get there before noon. Let's go visit him now."
"Where do we go to find him?" Hong Tongtong said with some difficulty.
"The canteen, the one that sells the steamed buns he likes the most." Liu Xiaolin said with a smile.
"Oh right, let's go, let's go." After Hong Tongtong finished speaking, she pulled Liu Xiaolin and left the teahouse.
Cui Zhaocheng followed behind, confused, "What steamed buns? What canteen?"
Liu Xiaolin replied as he walked, "Professor Wei Junyi likes to eat the steamed buns from Longguo University's first canteen the most. Every day, his food is just steamed buns and plain boiled water."
"Oh my goodness, how has he lived until now?" Cui Zhaocheng's eyes widened in shock.
"That's what he likes, so he has been persistent." Although Hong Tongtong didn't understand, she greatly admired him.
The three of them got into the black loves gift no. 1 flying car and headed straight for Longguo University, moving at full speed all the way. When they encountered traffic jams, they flew in mid-air. After reaching areas without traffic jams, they landed and continued moving forward.
Just like that, around 11:30, they arrived downstairs at Longguo University's first canteen building.
"Should we wait here, or go inside and wait?" Hong Tongtong asked.
"The first canteen has several floors. As soon as we go in, we'll be swallowed by the crowd and won't be able to find Wei Junyi." Liu Xiaolin thought for a moment and said, "We'll just wait for him at the entrance. I heard he's very noticeable. As soon as he appears, he becomes the focus of the crowd because everyone looks at him."
"Hmm, good idea, but won't our flying car parked here be too conspicuous?" Hong Tongtong noticed many people pointing at the loves gift no. 1.
"It's fine, this is even better. It can also attract Wei Junyi's attention." Liu Xiaolin, on the contrary, thought it was fine for the pointed-at flying car to be another focal point.
"That's true, we and Wei Junyi are both focal points, so the possibility of finding each other is greater." Cui Zhaocheng agreed with Liu Xiaolin's idea.
After a while, they saw everyone starting to look at a man striding over. He was holding a thermos cup, carrying a backpack, and walking quickly towards them.
"This is Professor Wei. It's my first time meeting him."
"I've seen him several times. It seems you're someone who doesn't like math."
"Exactly, who would like math?"
"Is Professor Wei going to buy two steamed buns again today?"
"Tell me, if he eats two steamed buns every day, does he have the energy to study math?"
"Maybe he eats well after he goes home, or maybe he even goes out to restaurants."
Liu Xiaolin and the other two looked at Wei Junyi walking over from a distance, listening to the students' discussions, feeling both excited and a little sad, "How can a dignified math professor be so eccentric?"
At this moment, Wei Junyi's attention was drawn to the flying car parked in front of the building. He walked over without hesitation and circled the flying car.
