59: Chapter 59 The Rise of Chinese Technology Requires the Power of Inheritance!
"Excellent, I knew there wouldn't be any problems!"
"Success! The stability test passed!!"
"We really created a new type of high-temperature resistant material... it's like a dream..."
"Old Zhou, you're a legend!!!"
"..."
Cheers erupted in the laboratory. Xia Anrou watched the scene, her eyes also filled with excitement. Although this project wasn't developed by their team, they had at least offered a little help just now.
Moreover, she had truly witnessed Zhou Fan's monstrous talent during this process.
The entire experiment was almost entirely controlled by Zhou Fan, with Chen Bing and the others merely assisting by following instructions.
Even their attempts to step in and help felt redundant; they could only handle menial tasks.
Especially Zhou Fan's calm and collected demeanor, his confidence as if everything was under his control, deeply shocked her.
She finally understood why her teacher and Academician Chang held such a high opinion of this junior.
"Old Qin, your previous thoughts were correct. Zhou Fan's abilities have long transcended the boundaries of a student. He is fully capable of independently leading projects. In fact... judging by what he has shown now, he's already on par with a third-level researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Most importantly, I feel this isn't even his limit. This kid must still be holding back!" Chang Hongsheng looked at Zhou Fan, surrounded by the crowd, and spoke with deep feeling.
"So, what about my earlier proposal?" The excitement on Qin Weimin's face gradually turned serious.
"He does indeed need some capable assistants. Chen Bing and Wen Chenfeng are clearly promising talents. With proper nurturing, they will definitely become Zhou Fan's right-hand men. And when it comes to nurturing people, you and I are considered professionals..." Chang Hongsheng nodded lightly, his expression also serious.
"Won't you feel uncomfortable about it?" Qin Weimin laughed.
"Why should I feel uncomfortable? Although the talents we nurture will eventually be sent back to him, I also want to see how far this kid can go in the future. Compared to the needs of the nation's development, our personal honor and disgrace mean nothing!" Chang Hongsheng also smiled.
"Yes, my teacher once said the same thing. The rise of our country's technology cannot be accomplished in one or two generations. It requires the continuous efforts of generation after generation, passing it down hand in hand..."
"So, decided?"
"Yes, as long as they are willing!"
"Alright."
...
...
Dormitory Building, Room 608.
"Finally, it's over. I've been so exhausted lately. Good thing we still managed to develop the new material!" Qian Donglai collapsed onto his bed the moment he returned to the dorm.
"What are you tired for? Brother Fan did most of the work. We were just helping out!" Sun Chuyang glanced at him and said somewhat speechlessly.
"Come quick, look! The online public opinion targeting Fanmi seems to be getting worse and worse!!!" At that moment, Chen Bing's voice suddenly rang out. He had already turned on his computer, was looking at the screen, and his expression was serious.
"What's going on?" Qian Donglai and Sun Chuyang were startled and hurried over.
"Zhou Fan, do you want to come take a look..." Chen Bing had just started speaking when Zhou Fan's phone suddenly rang.
"It's Lei Jun!" Zhou Fan glanced at the caller ID and said, then pressed the answer button.
The dorm instantly fell silent. Chen Bing and the others subconsciously closed their mouths, not even daring to breathe loudly.
"Have they started taking action?"
...
"Alright, proceed as planned! Remember, once the negotiation is successful, we must send our own people to transport the experimental equipment to ensure no problems occur during transit!"
"Mhm, that's it then!"
...
A few minutes later, seeing Zhou Fan hang up the phone, the dorm mates immediately gathered around him.
Chen Bing, still frowning tightly, couldn't help but talk about some information he had just seen online.
"The current online public opinion is very unfavorable to Fanmi. Foreign giants like Samsung have probably hired a huge number of trolls. Now all the news is saying that Fanmi stole their unreleased Fast Charging Technology. It's a complete case of blaming the victim!!!"
As soon as his voice fell, Qian Donglai and Sun Chuyang immediately spoke up:
"And Apple has also made a statement, saying they will boycott Fanmi Company for undermining the innovation environment. Many suppliers have jumped out, saying they won't provide hardware OEM support to Fanmi!"
"The most ridiculous thing is, some people are even questioning whether Fanmi's self-developed system, like the Fast Charging Technology, is also stolen or plagiarized... and they've listed a series of 'evidence,' saying things like Fanmi Company has been established for less than half a year, so it's impossible for them to have developed these technologies!"
...
"It's fine. Let them jump around for a while longer!" Hearing this, Zhou Fan shook his head with a smile and spoke.
Lei Jun's actions so far have been very smooth. They have already obtained evidence of Llg's reverse-engineering of the Fast Charging battery technology. With a contract in place, such behavior is absolutely not permitted.
Not to mention, they even tried to cover it up and sell the technology to Samsung and Apple, attempting to legalize the technology through third-party overseas transactions replicating the reverse-engineered technical records. It's sheer fantasy!
"Aren't you worried at all?" Chen Bing was somewhat puzzled, looking at Zhou Fan's calm demeanor.
In his understanding, even if Fanmi has a clear conscience and it's the foreign giants trying to steal the technology, since those bastards decided to do it, they would definitely prepare in advance.
Even if caught, they wouldn't easily admit it or back down. Instead, it might provoke a more intense confrontation, which would definitely not be a good outcome for Fanmi.
Even if they ultimately won, it could be a pyrrhic victory.
And for those giant companies backed by capital, such a small blow might not matter at all, unable to shake their foundations. But for Fanmi, it would be a devastating wound!
"What's the use of worrying? Would it stop things from happening?"
Zhou Fan still maintained his smile, seemingly completely unaffected.
Seeing Zhou Fan's relaxed demeanor, Chen Bing and the others exchanged glances, feeling even more anxious inside.
"Old Zhou, if you know something, just tell us. It's driving us crazy!"
Qian Donglai couldn't help but speak up, looking utterly exasperated.
