60: Chapter 60 Second-Generation Fast Charging Technology!

Watching Chen Bing and the others looking at him with anxious, pleading eyes, Zhou Fan thought for a moment and decided not to hide anything.

"The patent for Fanmi's Fast Charging Technology has been approved and will be officially announced today. Furthermore, Lei Jun has already filed lawsuits against several companies, including Llg, Samsung, and Apple. These news items should be announced immediately!!!"

He briefly explained the general situation; since this news would be announced soon, he had no concerns.

"The patent is being announced so quickly! Wasn't it still in the confidentiality period during the review stage?" Chen Bing was stunned and asked with some confusion.

"That's right. Fanmi was founded less than half a year ago. Even with extremely fast R&D, it should take at least a few months. Patent application reviews take time; how could it possibly pass the review and be officially announced within half a year?" Sun Chuyang was also puzzled.

"Patent reviews can be expedited with money, taking about three or four months. Besides... we already had the core technology for the Fast Charging Technology when we founded the company!" Zhou Fan briefly explained.

Chen Bing and Sun Chuyang exchanged glances, deep in thought, as a look of shock gradually appeared in their eyes.

"So, all of this was arranged by you? The timing was perfectly set to coincide with when Llg finished signing contracts with Samsung and Apple, using the announcement of the patent technology as a counterattack?" Sun Chuyang asked tentatively.

"Pretty much, but this is only one part of it!" Zhou Fan nodded slightly.

"You guys..." Chen Bing was completely stunned.

He instantly thought of the core data for the new heat-resistant material that Zhou Fan had produced some time ago, and it suddenly clicked in his mind.

"So, the Fast Charging Technology was something you had already developed and provided to Fanmi Technology, which is why Fanmi was able to apply for the patent immediately after the company was founded???"

"That's the only possibility; otherwise, there wouldn't have been enough time!" Sun Chuyang muttered, his eyes filled with shock.

"But even so, if you announce the technology patent, won't phone manufacturers like Samsung and Apple be able to use it? You can't just announce the technology without licensing it to them, right? If you license it, will Fanmi's technological advantage still exist?" Qian Donglai suddenly interjected.

"Of course we have to license it; otherwise, how would we collect patent fees? As for the issue of technological advantage... we have already developed the Second-generation Fast Charging Technology, which can basically double the charging efficiency. It will be used on the second-generation fanmi mobile phone..." Zhou Fan smiled, his tone still calm, as if he were talking about something ordinary.

"So, you anticipated all of this!"

Chen Bing felt his scalp tingle. He looked at Zhou Fan with shock and a hint of admiration in his eyes.

This entire plan was interlocking. It must have taken a considerable amount of time from layout to implementation, yet Zhou Fan had remained calm from beginning to end. Clearly, he had participated in formulating the plan, and even... judging by Lei Jun's attitude a few days ago, it couldn't be ruled out that Zhou Fan was the one leading the plan.

With such strong research capabilities and being such an expert in business warfare...

He felt like he was getting to know Zhou Fan all over again, a feeling he couldn't quite put into words.

He really didn't know what else Zhou Fan couldn't do!!!

"Second-generation technology..." Qian Donglai was also incredibly shocked. Thinking that if the fanmi mobile phone using the second-generation charging technology came out, he might be able to get another wave of benefits for the Club members, his eyes immediately burned with excitement.

"Daddy, the second-generation phone..."

Qian Donglai's gaze gave Zhou Fan the chills. The moment the fatty was about to pounce, he directly reached out and pressed down on that big face.

Seeing this, Chen Bing and Sun Chuyang couldn't help but show looks of disdain and simultaneously spat out two words.

"Shameless!"

Sun Chuyang's gaze turned back to the computer screen, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Look, everyone! Fanmi Technology just issued a notice. They have reached a negotiation with the battery supplier, Llg. Llg is willing to pay 500 million in liquidated damages according to the contract and implement additional terms..."

"Fanmi's Fast Charging Technology has also been published on the patent website!!!" Chen Bing had been checking for the Fast Charging Technology patent; he just refreshed the page and found many more results.

"Wow, the internet is completely boiling over right now. Almost the entire web is filled with this news!"

"..."

As they scrolled through the news online, their eyes grew brighter and their expressions became increasingly excited.

Looking at the comments, Chen Bing felt it was deeply satisfying and couldn't help but laugh.

"Now we're just waiting for the second-generation technology to be announced!"

"Fanmi really won big this time, 500 million in liquidated damages!!!" Sun Chuyang clicked his tongue in secret. He was completely convinced by the plan of Zhou Fan and the others, only feeling that society was treacherous and completely beyond what people like them could imagine.

"With Brother Fan here, there are no surprises, okay!" Qian Donglai chuckled.

His gaze toward Zhou Fan remained hot, clearly still pining for the second-generation fanmi mobile phone.
