97: Chapter 97 I don't believe that Fanmi's innovation has no bottlenecks!

"Tang Manager, how is it?"

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Tang Manager, their hearts filled with a mix of anxiety and anticipation, waiting for the announcement of the experimental results.

Although the experiment went smoothly, everyone knew that judging whether it was a success depended on whether the final data parameters met the standards!

"Conductivity... density... leakage current stability... crystal unit scalability..."

Tang Manager was also very nervous at this moment. His eyes scanned the rows of data on the computer screen without blinking, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself.

His hand holding the mouse began to tremble until he scrolled to the end of the experimental data, and his mind suddenly went blank.

"It's done... all parameters meet the standards. The high-dielectric constant material synthesis experiment... we succeeded!!"

He turned his head blankly and looked at the researchers beside him, who were full of expectation and didn't even dare to breathe, and muttered.

A moment of silence.

The anticipation in the eyes of all the researchers visibly turned into excitement, followed by a burst of warm cheers in the laboratory.

"It's done, we really did it!"

"Amazing! I was worried before if there would be problems with the data provided by Fanmi Technology. It's incredible, it really worked!!"

"I can't believe it. In such a short time, we really developed the high-dielectric constant material. This year's bonus is secured!"

"Look at you, only thinking about your bonus. Now that this material is out, it's actually possible for us to develop second-generation memory technology!!!"

"..."

Excited voices continued to ring out in the laboratory. Some cheered, some waved their fists, and others hugged each other with red eyes. After all the hard work, overtime, and staying up late recently, there was finally a result. Everyone's emotions were somewhat uncontrollable.

Gradually, as the cheers died down, everyone's eyes focused on Tang Manager again, their gazes burning!

"Tang Manager, tell us what to do next. Let's strike while the iron is hot and develop the second-generation memory technology, striving to make a sample this year!!"

A voice rang out from the crowd.

Tang Manager's gaze swept over everyone. Seeing the fire in their eyes, he was equally uncontrollably excited, feeling his heart tremble.

Now that the high-dielectric constant material was out, they could formally begin the R&D of the components and then produce samples for testing.

Originally, he was also unsure about the data Fanmi had provided. After all, he had never tried this new deposition technology before, but he hadn't expected to succeed in the very first experiment!

He knew exactly what this success meant. He had known Fanmi's ambition from the start. Before the high-dielectric constant material was made, he didn't even dare to think about it—setting a new standard for the memory chip industry was simply too crazy!

But now, he clearly saw that possibility. As participants in setting this standard, they would undoubtedly leave a significant mark on the history of the industry's development!

Thinking of this, the excitement in his heart became even more uncontrollable.

"Alright, let's strike while the iron is hot!!!"

He waved his hand, his excitement instantly turning into a spirited fighting will, and he spoke in a low voice.

"Everyone, please work hard for a bit longer. Let's strive to make a sample within a month, then take a month for testing, and complete mass production of the second-generation memory within three months!!!"

"Yes, Tang Manager!!!"

Spirited and uplifting voices echoed in the laboratory, and the researchers couldn't sit still, returning to their respective posts.

The excitement of the experimental breakthrough was suppressed deep in their hearts. Everyone knew very well that now was not the time to celebrate. With a breath held in their chests, they threw themselves back into the intense work!

...

Kyoto, Huihuang Fishery.

The surface of the fishing pond was sparkling, and the vast fishery had been booked out.

Piao Qianshu and Lu Qun met again. While fishing, they chatted; it was clear that both were feeling quite relaxed.

"President Lu, your 'Company Name Threat Theory' plan is working quite well. I heard that Likely a semiconductor company name has already refused deep cooperation with Fanmi and won't provide them with customized chips!"

Piao Qianshu had a smile on his face, feeling like he hadn't been this relaxed in a long time.

He had heard a lot of good news lately, and the news that Likely a semiconductor company name refused to provide Fanmi with customized chips was undoubtedly what made him the happiest.

"This also proves my previous strategy. To suppress Fanmi's development, we must strike at the root and not just worry about the gains and losses of a single city or territory!"

Lu Qun also had a smile on his face, his eyes calmly watching the float bobbing on the water, with a hint of coldness in his gaze.

Apple's market share had been steadily increasing recently. Combined with the correct suppression strategy against Fanmi, his mood was indeed good, and he became even more firm in his ideas.

To limit Fanmi's future development, one must start from the source to truly achieve results!

"I'm suddenly looking forward to the launch of their second-generation phone. They made such a high-profile move with the open-source Pangu System; they can't still be using an android shell for the second-generation phone, can they? Now that they have no chips to use, I'm curious how they'll respond!"

The smile on Piao Qianshu's face became even more pronounced.

"Either they keep delaying, or they give up on their self-developed system. Those are the only two choices!"

"No matter what they choose, it's good news for us!"

Neither of them mentioned the matter of self-developed chips because they both knew very well that, besides external pressure, truly developing a chip in-house was no simple task. It could take one or two years at the shortest, and three or four years was normal.

Lu Qun had even specifically gone to the headquarters to inquire. The design of Apple's first chip also took three or four years to complete!

No matter how powerful Fanmi Technology was, they couldn't possibly develop a self-developed chip in just a few months. That would be unreasonable!

According to the current trend, if Fanmi didn't release a new phone within two years, they would likely be completely eliminated by the market!

If they really gave up on their self-developed system and continued to use the android shell, Fanmi's reputation would definitely plummet!

That was also a result he was happy to see.

"What are your plans next?" Lu Qun looked at Piao Qianshu and spoke again with a smile.

"Our group has developed a new camera technology. We plan to use it as a selling point for a wave of promotion to build momentum for next year's new model!"

Piao Qianshu smiled and didn't hide it. After all, even if Lu Qun knew his next strategy, as long as the specific parameters of the camera were not exposed in advance, it would not affect their marketing.

Moreover, since the two companies were still cooperating, he was also expressing his sincerity.

"Suppressing them with camera technology?" Lu Qun thought for a moment and nodded slightly. "I won't compete with you on photography then. I'm planning to upgrade in the direction of memory!"

He had also heard about the latest camera technology developed by Samsung Group. This was the advantage of capital; experimental results from the laboratory could be applied immediately.

This wave of Samsung phones indeed had a great advantage. After all, in the current market, consumers cared a lot about the photography function of high-end smartphones. Some manufacturers even used it as a specific selling point to compete in the photography function track.

"President Lu is wise. This way, our two companies' phones will each have their own advantages, so we won't clash head-on and can focus all our efforts on suppressing Fanmi. We could be considered to be on the same wavelength, right?"

Learning that Apple phones' main selling point was memory, Piao Qianshu actually felt a sense of relief.

Setting aside the factor of competing with Apple, he was even more confident this time. He was certain that the new camera developed by the group was definitely the most advanced technology on the market.

5 megapixels... auto-focus... and electronic image stabilization. It was enough to crush the photography functions of all current smartphones!

For the next phone, his marketing strategy would use this as a selling point to win back the market share Samsung had lost.

"Then, shall we wish each other success?" A smile appeared on Lu Qun's face again.

"I don't believe Fanmi's technological innovation has no bottlenecks. This time, it's our turn to perform!"
