102: Chapter 102 Starsea Technology, Qiankun Chip Project!

"You have this kind of upgrade technology??"

Wang Bingsheng looked at Zhou Fan, his eyes suddenly lighting up as he asked somewhat urgently.

"No, but the current domestic environment actually already has the conditions to upgrade to 4th-generation special quartz glass, and the technology isn't complicated!"

Zhou Fan thought for a moment before speaking.

"Then you..." Wang Bingsheng's heart sank, and he suddenly gave a bitter smile. Zhou Fan had spoken so casually just now that he thought the technology already existed; he hadn't expected it to be a false hope.

"Although I don't have the technology itself, I can provide the direction for research and development. It's just that the specific steps will still depend on your research!"

"Really! Are you sure?" Wang Bingsheng's heart, which had just plummeted to rock bottom, suddenly began to pound violently again.

"I wouldn't say a hundred percent, but eighty or ninety percent shouldn't be a problem!" Zhou Fan nodded.

He indeed knew the upgrade direction for special quartz glass. When he had studied glass materials in his past life, he had specifically looked into the principles. Although he didn't know the exact steps, knowing the principles would certainly make it much easier to research.

"That's great!" A smile finally appeared on Wang Bingsheng's face as he clenched his fists.

"Then I'll find some time over the next couple of days to organize the data and send it to you. You have top-tier teams and equipment over there; it shouldn't be difficult to work it out once you have a direction..."

Zhou Fan spoke again after a moment's thought.

"Alright. To be safe, I won't head back for now. I'll stay in Hangzhou City for a few days, and once you're finished, I'll take it back personally!"

Wang Bingsheng was still a bit uneasy; such important information had to be carried back by him personally!

He naturally had no doubts about someone introduced by Chang Hongsheng, and the previous H1-type high-temperature resistant material had already proven Zhou Fan's capabilities. He also didn't believe Zhou Fan would joke about something like a national project.

However, listening to Zhou Fan's words, Wang Bingsheng could only smile bitterly inwardly, even feeling a bit flushed with shame.

"Top-tier teams and equipment..." Hearing this phrase now, he felt it was strangely ironic. If they were truly top-tier, they wouldn't have come to Zhou Fan to solve their problems...

He sighed secretly. Looking at Zhou Fan's young face, he suddenly felt that despite his advanced age, he wasn't even as good as a youngster. All these years had truly been spent in vain!

Inadvertently, his gaze met Chang Hongsheng's, and both couldn't help but reveal a trace of a bitter smile.

They shook their heads in tacit understanding.

...

Fanmi Technology office building.

In the conference room on the fourth floor, several executives including Lei Jun and Lin Wenwu, as well as several core members of the chip project team, were all waiting quietly.

The atmosphere was somewhat solemn. Occasional whispers were heard, but everyone deliberately kept their voices low.

"President Lei, what terms do you think Huaxing will propose later? They won't demand an exorbitant price, will they...?" Li Guoqiang looked at Lei Jun and couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know. This matter was discussed personally by Zhou Fan and President Ren. Huaxing has technical expertise in chip design, which can accelerate our self-developed chip progress. At this stage, it's very important for Fanmi's development. In fact, as long as the conditions aren't harsh, they are acceptable!"

Lei Jun spoke with a serious expression.

"I don't think they will!" Lin Wenwu suddenly spoke up. "I happened to run into President Ren and Engineer Zhou just as they finished their talk yesterday. They both seemed to be in a good mood, so it should be a relatively good result for both parties!"

"I hope so!"

Li Guoqiang muttered to himself.

"President Lei, the Huaxing HiSilicon team has arrived and is coming up from downstairs!"

A voice came from outside the conference room.

"Let's go greet them!"

Lei Jun immediately stood up and walked out of the conference room to the elevators in the hallway.

Soon, as the elevator doors opened, several figures stepped out.

"President He, thank you for making the trip!"

Lei Jun stepped forward and extended his hand to the woman leading the group.

"Hello, President Lei!"

He Yonghua was dressed in a simple business suit with short hair, giving off a very capable and sharp impression, carrying the aura of a powerful businesswoman.

As the president of Huaxing HiSilicon, she was representing Huaxing today to sign a comprehensive strategic cooperation agreement in the chip field with Fanmi.

"The conference room is ready. Everyone, please follow me!" Lei Jun immediately led the group into the conference room.

After everyone sat down, the entire conference room fell silent, with a hint of solemnity.

A moment later, Lei Jun looked up and turned his gaze toward He Yonghua.

"President He, regarding this cooperation, Fanmi will establish a brand-new subsidiary called Xinghai Technology Co., Ltd. We will sign a strategic cooperation agreement in the chip business with Huaxing HiSilicon in the name of this company..."

"Our idea is for Huaxing HiSilicon to license all its chip technology to Xinghai. We will then use this technology to launch the qiankun chip project, which will be jointly advanced by teams from both sides. Afterward, Xinghai will also share the core technology of the qiankun chip with Huaxing HiSilicon!"

"..."

As Lei Jun finished speaking, the conference room fell silent once again.

He Yonghua did not speak immediately but looked at a cooperation agreement in her hand.

She pondered quietly.
