Technology company, I will become the light of China!

Dawn is breaking, early morning.

After wandering in dreamland for a whole night, the researchers of the superconducting materials project of Longke Institute gradually woke up one by one.

According to modern people's living habits, unless they are very old or scientific researchers who cannot use smartphones, other people will generally check their phones first to avoid missing important information.

However, you won’t know until you see it. When you see it, they all go crazy.

"No! The superconducting material project has been terminated?"

"Am I seeing this right? The superconducting material project has been stopped? This is a prerequisite technology for controlled nuclear fusion!"

"I told you that you shouldn't stay up late all the time. Look, my eyes are blurry now, and I saw that the superconducting material project has been halted. I should get some more sleep, or take a day off to rest."

"Could Dean Zhang's WeChat be hacked? Otherwise, how could he send a WeChat message with such content?"

When they woke up, the project was stopped. These researchers felt like the sky had fallen and had no idea what was going on.
Some people thought that the person might not be fully awake yet, so they washed their face to wake themselves up, and then opened WeChat on their mobile phone to check the messages in the group.

"It's over!"

“The project has really been stopped!”

For a while.

The phones of each team leader of the superconducting materials project were flooded with calls from their team members, all of whom wanted to confirm the authenticity of the news.

However, the team leaders were also confused. They had just woken up and had no idea what had happened last night.

Besides, the project was going well yesterday. I heard that the institute had approved several hundred million yuan in funds to advance the progress of superconducting materials. Now that the project has suddenly been terminated, anyone would be confused.

Each level asked the next level, and even the academician of superconducting materials went out in person to inquire about the situation.

In the living room of Zhang Zhongchun's apartment, several old men were already furious and came to demand an explanation.

"Bang bang bang-"

"Zhang Zhongchun, open the door!"

"Ding dong ding dong ding dong-"

"Open the door, Zhang Zhongchun!"

The knocks on the door and the ringing of the doorbell were so annoying that Zhang Zhongchun was sitting on the sofa in the living room, thinking with a cup of tea. He had no idea how to face them, so he simply stayed indoors.

"Zhang Zhongchun, I know you are in there. If you don't open the door, I will break it down!"

"Bang bang bang-"

"Open the door quickly!"

"Open the door for me now!"

The knocks on the door became louder and louder. Zhang Zhongchun's secretary Yan Tinghao glanced at the door of the apartment, then looked at Zhang Zhongchun, who was looking worried, and said, "It's not a good idea for Mr. Zhang to continue like this. They might really tear down our door and force their way in."

"I know. I'm still thinking of a reason. How about this? You go out and delay it for a while, so that they don't really tear down our door." Zhang Zhongchun looked at Yan Tinghao, with a look of entrusting an orphan to him.

"This...this is not good."

Yan Tinghao shrank his neck. He knew all the academicians outside. They were famous for their hot tempers. If they really started fighting, he would only be able to passively take the beating.

"Then just hold the door and don't let them in. I'm thinking of a reason." After Zhang Zhongchun finished speaking, he took a sip of tea, his brain working fast, making up an excuse.

Ever since Wang Shan and Qin Long brought low-temperature superconducting materials last night and successfully verified the superconducting properties, he has been in a compromising situation.

The superconducting materials project of Longke Institute was established more than ten years ago, but progress has been extremely slow. Not to mention room temperature, no materials that exhibit superconducting properties at -150 degrees Celsius have been found.

But last night Wang Shan said that as long as the experimental equipment was lent to Longxing Group, they would be confident of achieving a technological breakthrough within a year. Was there any reason for him not to lend it?
Not to mention that Wang Shan and Qin Long came forward in person, just the technological breakthrough of room-temperature superconductivity was enough to make it impossible for him to refuse.

Once the experimental equipment is loaned out, the related projects will naturally be stopped. After all, you cannot develop room-temperature superconducting materials by yourself, and not all materials are graphene.

The academician of superconducting materials came to question, which attracted the attention of other academicians living in the same apartment building.

Semiconductor chip academician Qu Cheng, who had big bags under his eyes and a slightly bent back due to age, was walking to the balcony of his apartment building. He looked at the noisy academicians in the building opposite and said puzzledly: "What happened? It actually made old guys like Yin Songyang and Hao Zidong so angry."

"I heard that the room-temperature superconducting material project was halted. Now their group is all making a fuss as if it's New Year's Eve." The secretary told him everything he knew.

"The superconducting project has been stopped? Whose idea was it?" Qu Cheng was stunned, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Room-temperature superconducting materials have been a hot topic in recent years, and the whole world is secretly working on it to get the upper hand.

Stop?

How can this stop!

Suppose, if the United States discovers room-temperature superconducting materials and completes the technological extension, then Dragon Country will usher in an unprecedented cold winter, which is something no one wants to see.

"I'm not sure, but I heard from a doctor there that it seemed like the director of their Materials Research Institute personally sent the group announcement."

"Group announcement?"

"Yes, group announcement."

"..."

The song was a little messy in the wind.

How can such a thing be announced to the group?
According to the formal process, stopping a project requires holding a seminar to explain the situation and obtain the consent of team members before it can be stopped.

Although the process is relatively complicated, we respect everyone's work.

After all, scientific researchers have devoted most of their lives to their research. You can't just stop it. If you stop, wouldn't all their efforts be wasted?

Because of this, except for some projects that are really unnecessary or have particularly high costs, scientific research projects generally will not be terminated, and the country is willing to spend money to bet on the future.

"Something's wrong. This is not right." Qu Cheng had already sensed something unusual.

He looked at the academicians who were in the apartment building opposite and were asking for an explanation. He didn't want them to continue making trouble, so he simply called someone to ask if he could find the cause and prescribe the right remedy.

He first found Wang Qi, the vice president of Longke Institute and the director of Beidou Chip Research Institute, to find out the situation.

However, when Wang Qi learned about the situation, he was stunned for a few seconds, recalling what had happened in the past few days. After confirming that there was nothing left, he responded:

"That's not right. I haven't received any notice to stop the room-temperature superconducting material project. Are you sure that Academicians Hao Zidong and Yin Songyang are making trouble?"

"It's right opposite my apartment building. They are still banging on Dean Zhang's door frantically, but no one comes out to respond." Qu Cheng nodded in response.

"This is not right. Wait a minute, I'll ask the dean what's going on."

"Hurry up, to avoid any trouble."

"I know."

Wang Qi immediately hung up the phone and called Qin Long to tell him what was happening in the apartment building.

Qin Long did not seem surprised, but replied calmly: "I know, Dean Zhang will take care of it."

"This..." Wang Qi was stunned for a moment, a possibility flashed through his mind, and he said uncertainly: "Dean, you didn't call for a halt yourself, did you?"

"It was my decision, and it was also Dean Zhang's decision."

Qin Long did not deny that he had anticipated this scene in the early morning the moment he decided to lend out the experimental equipment.

But Wang Qi was anxious. He had no idea what was going on, so he quickly tried to persuade them:
"We can't stop. The room-temperature superconducting material project absolutely cannot be stopped. Although this project has no visible benefits in the short term, in the long run, it is one of the most profitable projects. Besides, academicians Hao Zidong and Yin Songyang have invested most of their lives in it. If we suddenly stop the project, won't their efforts be wasted?"

"Ugh!"

Qin Long sighed, thought about it again and again, and revealed the truth: "It's not that we want to stop, but the experimental equipment has been loaned out, and now there is no condition at all."

"On loan?"

Wang Qi's expression was moved, and he felt it was incredible. The classic lines spoken by Zhao Gao in the TV series "The Myth" flashed through his mind.

"You are so aloof, so great that you actually lent out the experimental equipment!"

If Qin Long wasn't the president of the Dragon Academy of Sciences, he would have said it to his face.

"Don't ask anymore. Anyway, the experimental equipment has been loaned out. Let them make trouble if they want. But I think Dean Zhang can handle it." Qin Long waved his hand, unwilling to say more.

"Dean, tell me the truth, to whom did you lend the equipment of the room-temperature superconducting laboratory?" Wang Qi got to the bottom of it.

"Don't ask me."

Qin Long was reluctant to reveal too much.

After all, that was the result of Wang Shan’s personal guarantee and his visit late at night.

"No, you have to tell me who you lent it to, otherwise I can only follow the rules and seek an explanation for the hundreds of scientific researchers in the superconducting laboratory!"

Wang Qi did not give in.

Although there is a big gap between the dean and the vice dean, the vice dean has the right to impeach and convene meetings.

He also learned that the loan of equipment and the suspension of the project without a meeting to discuss it did not comply with the procedures. If one really investigates further, Qin Long and Zhang Zhongchun are the ones who violated the rules.

"Brother Wang, there's no need..."

"Is necessary!"

Qin Long still wanted to keep the secret and tried to use his personal relationship with Wang Qi to persuade him to give up, but he was rejected outright without any room for negotiation.

In order to prevent the matter from escalating further, Qin Long had to sigh and said in a deep voice: "It has been lent to Longxing Group, and it was the old leader Wang Shan who personally came to coordinate the equipment late at night. If you want to go through the process, just go ahead. I have no objection."

Wang Qi: "..."

He regretted it.

He regretted asking so many questions.

Wang Shan came to coordinate the equipment in person late at night. The value of this sentence had already made his CPU overloaded. He had no idea what kind of magic potion Chen Xing had given Wang Shan to make the old man come here in person.

The two kept the call connected, but neither of them spoke.

After a silence of more than ten seconds, Wang Qi reluctantly said, "You know, I'm a famous big mouth. If I let something slip, you will be responsible, Dean."

"I'm not responsible for anything. It was you who insisted on finding out the truth and threatened me with the wrong procedures. If you leak it, you will bear the consequences yourself. It has nothing to do with me."

"Can't you be more firm?"

"Who can defeat you?"

"I……"

Wang Qi was speechless and remained silent for a few seconds. He asked in a deep voice, "What should we do now? Academicians Qu Cheng are all looking for me to find out. I can't just ignore it, right?"

"You solve it yourself. That's it. I'm hanging up." Qin Long didn't give him time to refuse and hung up the phone directly.

"wipe…"

Wang Qi cursed. He really didn't expect the news to be so explosive.

Now, he also wants to help keep it secret.

Just after hanging up the phone with Qin Long, Qu Cheng called again.

"Buzzing—"

"To answer or not to answer?"

Looking at the vibrating phone, Wang Qi hesitated for a long time, but finally decided to answer it.

"how's it going?"

Qu Cheng got straight to the point, and then continued, "Now Dean Zhang is open to welcome guests, but the noise is fierce."

"It's their materials research institute's business, so why don't we just stop interfering?" Wang Qi changed his expression and attitude.

Qu Cheng heard the clue and asked, "What did the dean say to you?"

"Nothing." "Really nothing?"

"I didn't really say anything."

"You didn't have that attitude just now."

"It's normal for our Chip Research Institute not to get involved in what happened at the Materials Research Institute, don't you think?"

Wang Qi's change in attitude made Qu Cheng more curious, so he retreated and said, "If you don't want to talk about it, forget it. If the situation escalates further, I have already notified you. If someone else complains, forget it. I won't talk about it. Anyway, I don't know the inside story, so there is no way I can resolve it."

“Alright, alright.” Wang Qi was afraid of Qu Cheng, but he also wanted to get a helper, “The dean said that the equipment was loaned to Longxing Group, and it was old leader Wang Shan who personally coordinated, so they had to stop the room-temperature superconducting material project. As for the inside story, you are so familiar with Chen Xing, you can go and ask him, he can give me a detailed answer…”

"It's a nice day today."

"Hey!"

"Hey!"

"This old phone is so useless. I can't even hear what the other party is saying clearly." Qu Cheng muttered to himself and quickly hung up the phone.

After making sure that the call was hung up, he felt a chill on his back and sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Old Chief Wang Shan, Longxing Group, coordinating equipment is not easy. Old guy Wang Qi even wanted to trick me into coming forward. Fortunately, I reacted quickly."

After hanging up the phone, he had to rethink the matter.

Wang Shan coordinated equipment for Longxing Group, and it was equipment from the room-temperature superconducting materials laboratory. Does this mean that Longxing Group may have a corresponding experimental team?
"Is there any progress in very-low-temperature superconductivity?"

The course is guessed.

After thinking for a few minutes, he decided not to think about it. A project of this level was not something he could spy on, and he had no ability to change anything.

However, the news that Longxing Group had a room-temperature superconducting laboratory still shocked him. He did not expect that in less than three years, Longxing Group had become a giant in the field of science and technology.

"How many secrets does this kid Chen Xing have?"

Qu Cheng murmured in his heart.

He pays attention to every press conference of Longxing Group. Even if he cannot watch the live broadcast, he will watch the recorded broadcast again.

The recent new energy vehicles, solid-state batteries and L3 level autonomous driving have already made him feel that technology has made a leap forward. He never expected that Longxing Group also has a room-temperature superconductor hidden.

If room-temperature superconductivity is truly realized, Dragon Country might be able to soar to the sky, and the world situation will regress to two thousand years ago. By then, the people of Dragon Country will be able to shout out loud...

Anyone who offends our Dragon Kingdom will be punished no matter how far away they are!

……

And on the other side.

Dragon Kingdom Deep City.

Longxing Group Bantian Base.

In Chen Xing's apartment suite, the mobile phone on the bedside table emitted an irritating alarm sound, indicating the arrival of a new day.

Chen Xing, who was wearing grey pajamas, was sleepy. He stopped the alarm clock and rubbed his eyes. He turned over and said, "System, open the talent market."

【Ding! 】

【Opened! 】

[Talent Market]: Level 8 (Upgrading the level requires 15 billion. The higher the market level, the higher the quality of talent that can be recruited.)
[List of talents available for recruitment today]

1. Blue quality has been folded.

2. Wang Xiaoxin, purple quality, first-class degree, scientific research talent, majoring in chip design, recruitment funds required: 7000 yuan.

3. Blue quality has been folded
4. Wang Suolin, purple quality, 211 academic degree, scientific research talent, majoring in new energy storage technology, recruitment funds required: 7000 yuan.

5. Chen Ping, gold quality, 985 degree, scientific research talent, majoring in the field of aerodynamics, recruitment funds required: 70000 yuan.

"Recruit them all." Chen Xing recruited them all without hesitation. Recruiting a group of people after waking up every day has become his daily habit.

After closing the talent market panel, his mind became clear.

Picking up the phone on the bedside table, Chen Xing opened WeChat to check the unread messages. The message from Wang Shan instantly made him energetic.

"Coordinate the Dragon Institute's equipment?"

"The old chief is worthy of being the old chief. He knows how to solve urgent problems."

Chen Xing exclaimed in praise.

Last night, he and Wang Shan did not mention the coordination of equipment at all. They just said that room-temperature superconducting materials required daily experimental equipment and asked if there was any way to get it quickly.

Wang Shan's reply was ambiguous, and he just said he would try to find out more.

Afterwards, Chen Xing brought up the issue of collapsing Xiao Rizi's financial system, and Wang Shan also made it clear that the national operation team would lend a hand.

This coordination of Longke Institute's equipment was really beyond Chen Xing's expectations.

"If I had known that the old leader could help to this extent, I would have asked him to borrow a few academicians. I still didn't think it through." Chen Xing muttered to himself.

He didn't hesitate for too long. After understanding the situation, he went to wash, change clothes, and go to the cafeteria for breakfast.

Today may be a historic turning point for the Longxing Group, because according to the appointment information, the CEOs of Longguo Automobile Company and the CEOs of new energy vehicle manufacturing companies have been integrated into today's reception by Chen Xing.

Their purpose is the same. It is too troublesome to receive each guest one by one, so they simply hold a meeting and put forward conditions. Those who can accept them will stay, and those who cannot will leave. This is not only convenient and fast, saving time, but they can also use the CEOs of other companies to pressure other CEOs.

……

At nine o'clock in the morning, foreign vehicles began to drive into the waiting area at the entrance of Bantian Base to undergo identity checks.

"BYD CEO Wang Fu, it's me. No suspicious items were found in the vehicle. Please come in."

"Jian Chunhe, CEO of Changan Group, there is no problem with his identity information, and no suspicious items were found in the vehicle. Please come in."

"Jiang Ye, CEO of SAIC Group, is definitely me. The identity information is correct. No suspicious items were found in the vehicle. Please come in."

The security at the door has been notified and received a list. As long as the people on the list arrive at the Longxing Bantian base, they can enter directly after passing the security check without asking Chen Xing's consent.

The CEOs of car companies arrived one by one, and they all waited in the parking lot tacitly.

"Boss Wang, you're here too. I didn't expect that."

Jian Chunhe greeted with a smile.

Wang Fu also smiled and congratulated him, "Congratulations, Mr. Jian, on your success. I believe that under your leadership, Changan Automobile Group will surpass its previous performance and double its stock and receivables."

"Haha, you're welcome, Mr. Wang."

Jian Chunhe couldn't help but clasp his fists.

To be honest, he himself was surprised that he could get the position. You know, he should retire in six or seven years. At this age, it would be good if he was not assigned a sinecure and could just wait until retirement.

Promotion?

Basically impossible.

But because Tang Ruiyang was taken away for investigation, he was inexplicably promoted.

While the two were talking, CEOs of car companies came one after another.

To everyone’s surprise, Dong Gui, CEO of Yadea Group, also came.

"Boss Dong, I didn't expect you to come too. Is Yadi planning to upgrade its muskets to big guns and its electric vehicles to electric cars?"

Jian Chunhe teased with a smile.

Among all the car companies in Longguo, if you ask who is the originator of electric vehicles, it is definitely Yadea Group.

It entered the electric vehicle industry in 2001 and has been far ahead of the industry.

Of course.

It's just an electric car, not an electric car.

You said Yadea Group is a car company, right?

It doesn't have a car project.

You say it is not a car company, but its electric cars are far ahead...

"New energy vehicles are the general trend. Now that we have seen the opportunity, we naturally cannot miss it. Besides, our Yadea Group has achieved some success in motors and electronic controls." Dong Gui smiled and cleverly resolved the embarrassment.

Just as he said, although Yadea Group does not have automobile manufacturing technology, it has the technical reserves of motors and electronic controls. After all, it has been deeply involved in electric vehicles for so many years.

Now Chen Xing has publicly stated that he is willing to provide patented technical support, and anyone with a little foresight can smell the opportunity.

Lei Jun once said: If you stand on the right spot, even a pig can take off.

Can the pig on the wind take off?

The coal bosses have already given the answer, as have the bosses in the real estate industry.

But it is worth mentioning that the wind will eventually stop one day. When the wind stops, many "pigs" who have not made progress and have no backup will fall heavily to the ground and be smashed to pieces.

"Mr. Wang."

While several car company CEOs were chatting, more and more vehicles arrived at the parking lot, and the people getting off were getting younger and younger.

Li Xiang recognized BYD CEO Wang Fu at a glance and quickly stepped forward to greet him, "You are my idol, CEO Wang. I wonder if we can exchange business cards. I also work in the car industry."

"Oh? What's your brand?"

Wang Fu showed interest.

"New energy vehicles, my company is called Ideal Auto. This time I came to Longxing Group to discuss Leishen batteries, so that I can mass-produce Ideal Auto."

Li Xiang excitedly took out his business card.

Wang Fu nodded slightly and said politely, "Just add me on WeChat. I was in a hurry to leave and didn't bring my business card."

"Row."

Li Xiang took back the business card without thinking much.

The two took out their phones and added each other as WeChat friends.

As a "newcomer in the car industry", Li Xiang added Wang Fu and started looking for the next CEO of a car company in order to expand his network.

Why are introverts not suitable for starting a business?

Many introverts know that shamelessly adding seniors as friends and asking for their contact information may be helpful to them, but they often don’t know how to take the initiative and end up missing out on opportunities.

Starting a business not only tests your vision, but social skills are also important.

As the saying goes, at home you rely on your parents and when you go out you rely on your friends. Friends represent information gaps. The more friends a person has, the higher his level of cognition will be. There is a certain causal relationship here.

Of course, if you want to make progress, you have to make friends with those who are superior to you. Even if you are just drinking buddies, if you talk more, your understanding will be higher. But if you make friends with those who are inferior to you, it will not be of much use and you can basically only accompany them to eat, drink and have fun.

While Li Xiang was adding friends everywhere, Masi Ke, who was far away in Shanghai, also got wind of the news and his expression became even more solemn.

"BYD, Changan, Yadi, GAC, BAIC..."

"It seems that all the car companies in Longguo have gone to Longxing Group for a meeting. This is not good news. We must make adjustments as soon as possible."

He had originally planned to hold a Tesla press conference at the end of 2015, but he never expected that Chen Xing would force him to postpone it for two or three months.

We can't delay any longer. If we delay any further, the "Gambling Agreement" with Shanghai will never be completed. We can only give it one last try.
