256: Waiting for chip samples
"It seems I guessed correctly, you are very cautious," Liu Xiaolin said with a smile.
Su Desheng looked at Liu Xiaolin's expression, which didn't seem displeased, so he decided to speak frankly: "It's not that we are too cautious, it's that we don't quite believe you can develop a 2-nanometer Lithography Machine in less than two months, because no country has successfully developed a lithography machine in such a short period."
"I understand you, and I also understand your uneasy feelings about only coming now," Liu Xiaolin also became serious: "However, you must know that I invited five top experts, employed over seven hundred R&D personnel, used the most advanced experimental instruments, and worked around the most precise design blueprints. It took two months to successfully develop it, so why can't we get your trust?"
There was a slightly aggressive tone to this sentence. Li Zhaolong and the other three experts secretly applauded: "This General Manager Liu really spoke our minds!"
In others' eyes, the development was completed effortlessly in two months, but who knows that these seven or eight hundred people worked day and night to achieve the successful development of the 2-nanometer Lithography Machine?
Su Desheng saw a hint of anger in the eyes of the people opposite him, knowing he had spoken too bluntly, and quickly tried to smooth things over: "But, we ultimately chose to trust you, didn't we? Otherwise, I wouldn't be sitting in front of you now."
"Alright, I still have to thank you for your final choice." Liu Xiaolin's expression improved slightly: "We won't let you down."
"That's good, I also hope we can cooperate happily," Su Desheng said, glancing at Li Xiaojun.
Li Xiaojun immediately took out a document bag and pulled out a document: "This is our Chip requirements plan. Can you see if you can make a sample within a week?"
Li Zhaolong took the document and looked at it: "We can help you make a sample tomorrow. Then you can take it back for testing. If there are no problems with the test, we will start mass production."
"What? You can produce a sample in one day?" Su Desheng was so surprised his mouth couldn't close.
"You forgot, we have seven or eight hundred R&D personnel," Li Zhaolong said, shrugging his shoulders.
"That's great! I won't leave today. I'll stay in Kunhe City and come over tomorrow to pick up the sample," Su Desheng immediately decided.
"You don't need to stay outside. Our Jiantuan Electronics has expert dormitories where you can stay for a night. To us, you are also experts, procurement experts," Liu Xiaolin said with a smile.
"Then I shall respectfully accept your offer," Su Desheng was naturally willing. Staying here, he could also keep up with the progress of the sample development.
"Then you chat. We will start developing this Chip sample now," Li Zhaolong and the other three experts got up and left.
"Can I follow you to the R&D workshop to take a look?" Su Desheng thought to himself, sitting here and worrying is not as good as following them to the workshop for real-time tracking.
"Yes, let's go together then," Liu Xiaolin naturally wouldn't object. It would be better for them to see it with their own eyes.
When the group arrived at the workshop, Li Zhaolong and the others started getting busy. Liu Xiaolin took Su Desheng and Li Xiaojun on a tour of the various laboratories.
Ever since Su Desheng entered the workshop, his mouth hadn't closed. He couldn't believe that all the instruments and equipment in this laboratory were world-class. What surprised him the most was the Earth Core One supercomputer! Heavens, of the only two Earth Core Ones in existence, this place actually had one!
Moreover, he saw that many of the R&D personnel here were industry elites, famous in their respective fields.
"With such advanced instruments and equipment, and so many outstanding talents, it seems that their ability to complete the 2-nanometer Lithography Machine R&D task within two months is not too surprising," Su Desheng now realized that Longyu Company's senior management had underestimated the talent and equipment gathered here.
At noon, Liu Xiaolin took Su Desheng to the company cafeteria for lunch. The abundant food here also greatly surprised Su Desheng; he hadn't expected the food here to be even better than Longyu Company's.
He had always thought that Longyu Company's food was the ceiling among Dragon Country enterprises, but he hadn't expected that compared to Longyu Company's food, it was still a little bit lacking.
"Since Wei Gong went back to teaching at school, that Master Fu who made steamed buns also went back. Ah, I really miss the steamed buns Master Fu made."
"You should be thankful that you got to enjoy Master Fu's steamed buns for two months thanks to Wei Gong. Do you still want to keep eating them?"
"If our General Manager Liu could invite Wei Gong back again, wouldn't we be able to continue eating the steamed buns made by Master Fu?"
"Wei Gong likes being a teacher. I heard that he came here to develop the lithography machine only because General Manager Liu invited Master Fu over."
The conversation among several R&D personnel nearby caught Su Desheng's attention: "You also invited Wei Junyi?"
"Yes, to invite him over, I specifically invited the Master Fu from their school's first cafeteria just to steam buns for him," Liu Xiaolin said with a smile: "However, later, under the guidance of me and my girlfriend, he also started to like sweet and sour pork ribs and West Lake vinegar fish."
"I really didn't expect you could actually invite Wei Junyi! Do you know how much effort our General Manager Du spent trying to invite him? He never succeeded," Su Desheng said, shaking his head: "It seems we didn't genuinely try to understand him like you did."
After eating, Liu Xiaolin took Su Desheng and Li Xiaojun back to the workshop to continue observing.
The R&D personnel didn't pay any attention to these onlookers at all. They were busy with their own tasks, looking like charging soldiers.
When it was time to get off work, no one left. Everyone was voluntarily working overtime.
Seeing this scene, Su Desheng wasn't surprised, because Longyu Company was often like this too, with the lights still on at eleven or twelve at night, and many people working overtime.
"Minister Su, you should rest first. The expert dormitory has been arranged for you. I will have someone take you there," Liu Xiaolin didn't want Minister Su to stay up late working overtime with them.
"I observed that our Chip sample should be almost ready. I'll just wait a bit longer. If the Chip sample can be produced soon, I can take the sample directly back immediately and won't need to go to your dormitory," Su Desheng didn't want to leave the R&D workshop.
"Then I'll go ask Professor Li and see how much longer it will take for the Chip sample to be ready," Liu Xiaolin said.
"Okay, okay, I also really want to know," Su Desheng was anxious inside, but having been used to getting a Chip sample in a week, he still felt it was unlikely to see the Chip sample produced in such a short time.
After Liu Xiaolin found Li Zhaolong and asked about the situation, he came back and told Su Desheng: "You don't need to go to the expert dormitory, because Professor Li told me the Chip sample will be ready in half an hour."
