79: Chapter 79 Maybe we can even go up against the giants!

"President Lei, the two of you are here today for..."

Xu Fuyun looked at Lei Jun and Zhou Guangming beside him, his heart racing with excitement.

Since they had discussed technical cooperation before, he guessed it might be related to that. He had just been discussing technical bottlenecks with Ding Zhe, so he was full of anticipation.

Lei Jun looked at Xu Fuyun and smiled. Without any preamble, he pulled a document envelope from his bag.

"We've developed a new optical lens material that might help you with your lens technology upgrade. Take a look..."

As he spoke, he handed the envelope and the storage drive inside to Xu Fuyun.

At that moment, Zhou Guangming, standing beside him, began to introduce it.

"This is an aspherical glass. It reduces lens thickness, offers high light transmittance, and minimizes aberrations. It improves image quality, especially in wide-angle lenses. Plus, once the core technology is mastered, it's easier to mass-produce!"

Zhou Guangming watched as Xu Fuyun hurriedly opened the envelope and pulled out the documents, feeling a sense of deep emotion.

He had been shocked when he first received this data a few days ago. It had only been half a month since they signed the cooperation agreement with Gewe, meaning Zhou Fan had developed this new aspherical glass in just over ten days.

To him, such speed was simply inconceivable!

As an expert in mobile phone components, he knew exactly what this technology represented. It was definitely leading the way domestically and had even caught up with cutting-edge foreign tech...

Sometimes the rise of a company is simple—it just takes a breakthrough in core technology. Gewe was undoubtedly lucky. If they continued to invest in R&D and used this aspherical glass as a core for corresponding module technology, they really had a chance to catch up with foreign giants!

"aspherical glass lens..." Xu Fuyun muttered to himself, his eyes flashing as he scanned the summary of the material's properties.

He wasn't a technical expert, but he could understand the parameters. Without exception, they showed a massive improvement over their current core optical lens technology.

It wasn't just the lens technology; there were also directions for module improvements, optical image stabilization, autofocus, large aperture design concepts...

He was stunned as he looked through the materials.

This wasn't just technical aid; it was a complete R&D roadmap for Gewe's future! It was practically a step-by-step guide...

Nearby, Ding Zhe was also staring at the documents with glowing eyes. Seeing Xu Fuyun dazed, he simply snatched them away to read in detail.

"refractive index of 1.9... Abbe number near 60... micron-level precision... It's so thin! It's perfectly tailor-made for smartphone cameras, and the dispersion coefficient is kept at a very low range..."

As the head of the technical department and laboratory R&D director, he understood the tech much better than Xu Fuyun. As he flipped through the pages, his hands began to tremble, and he couldn't hide his excitement.

If these technologies could be realized, he was certain they could upgrade their existing lenses and develop next-gen flagship products with significantly improved specs, even... catching up with giants like Samsung...

"Your R&D team developed these?? Are you really licensing them to us??" Ding Zhe asked Lei Jun, unable to contain his excitement.

"Of course they're for you. Why else would we bring them? Our chief technology officer spent half a month personally creating these, including the roadmap for your future upgrades..."

Lei Jun smiled, not surprised by Ding Zhe's reaction.

He never doubted Zhou Fan's ability. Even if it only took half a month, he had absolute confidence. Xu Fuyun and Ding Zhe's reactions were exactly as he expected.

"chief technology officer?" Xu Fuyun was stunned.

"Half a month!!!" Ding Zhe's eyes widened in shock.

Xu Fuyun didn't know much about tech but knew half a month was unheard of. Ding Zhe was completely floored by the timeline. They both began to question everything—the bottlenecks they struggled with were solved in two weeks?

This wasn't just copying; even copying existing tech wouldn't be this fast!

"The chief technology officer you mentioned... is he the same big shot who led the self-developed system and Fast Charging Technology innovations?"

"President Lei, thank you... please convey our deepest gratitude to your chief technology officer. Your help to Gewe is monumental..."

Xu Fuyun didn't doubt Lei Jun. They had only been working with Fanmi for half a month, and this data was a specific solution for their exact bottlenecks.

There was no reason to doubt; the core data was right there, a solid fact that could solve their problems.

That big shot had not only solved their problems but mapped out their future. He was deeply moved and flattered.

And in such a short time... the chief technology officer must be incredibly skilled and experienced. He probably hadn't slept for two weeks, working through the night for their sake. The thought made him feel truly valued.

He suddenly felt that being a "little brother" protected by a "big brother" was quite nice...

"Alright, study these well and upgrade your tech quickly. We're waiting to use Gewe's cameras!" Lei Jun stood up, smiling.

"Don't worry, we'll do it as fast as possible. Two months... no, give us a month and a half, and we'll deliver a perfect result!" Ding Zhe promised before Xu Fuyun could speak.

"Good, we'll head out. We can discuss the equity investment later. You should also evaluate the value of this technology!" Lei Jun shook Xu Fuyun's hand.

"No problem!"

They shook hands and said their goodbyes.

Ding Zhe watched them leave, still buzzing with excitement.

"Old Xu, with this tech, we might actually lead the industry and take a bite out of the high-end market alongside the giants!"

"Don't get ahead of yourself. How could we possibly compete with those giants..."

Xu Fuyun shook his head. He knew it wasn't just tech; capital meant massive funding, a huge supply chain, and industry status.

Technology was vital, but Gewe was miles behind the giants.

Even if they upgraded, the giants would too, with R&D budgets a small company couldn't dream of.

Competing with giants... they aren't Fanmi!

Xu Fuyun felt a wave of emotion again.
