The car was parked in front of the private kitchen in Dashengli.

Li Yichen got out of the car and saw Gu Shounian already standing at the door waiting for him.

He wasn't wearing his military uniform today; he had changed into a dark gray jacket and stood ramrod straight, like a javelin.

Seeing Li Yichen get out of the car, Gu Shounian smiled and quickly walked over.

"Mr. Li."

He stretched out his hand.

Li Yichen shook hands with him.

"Has Colonel Gu been waiting long?"

"Just arrived."

Gu Shounian released his hand and turned to the side, gesturing for him to enter.

"Please come in."

The two walked into the private kitchen together.

The waiter clearly recognized Gu Shounian and immediately came forward to lead them to the backyard.

Pass through the front hall and turn into a corridor.

The corridor is decorated with ink paintings on both sides, and the ground is paved with bluestone slabs, making a light footstep sound when you walk on it.

At the end was a carved wooden door.

The waiter pushed it away.

It was a small private room.

It's not big, but it's very elegant.

A round mahogany table, a few chairs, and a calligraphy scroll hanging on the wall that reads "Tranquility leads to far-reaching influence."

The table was already full of dishes.

Steamed grouper, braised lion's head meatballs, crystal shrimp, braised sea cucumber with scallions, and several dishes of seasonal vegetables.

There were two bottles of wine in the middle.

A white porcelain bottle, without a label.

Li Yichen glanced at it.

He had this wine before.

Specially supplied.

Gu Shounian gestured for him to sit down.

"Mr. Li, please."

Li Yichen sat down in a seat closer to the inside.

Gu Shounian sat down opposite him.

The waiter left and closed the door behind him.

The private room fell silent.

Only the faint sounds of noise from the front hall could be heard outside the window.

Gu Shounian picked up the bottle and unscrewed it.

The aroma of wine immediately wafted out.

Rich and full-bodied.

He poured Li Yichen a glass first.

He poured himself another full glass.

Put down the bottle.

He picked up his wine glass.

"Mr. Li."

Gu Shounian looked at Li Yichen.

"I'm a few years older than you, so how about I call you Brother Li?"

Li Yichen nodded.

"That's great!"

"Then I'll call you Brother Li from now on."

A smile appeared on Gu Shounian's face.

"Don't call me Colonel Gu anymore, it sounds too formal."

Call me Brother Gu.

"it is good."

Li Yichen agreed.

"Brother Gu."

Gu Shounian laughed a few times.

He picked up his wine glass.

"Brother Li, this toast is for you."

He paused.

"Thank you for developing the photonic current-carrying chip."

"This chip has solved the country's urgent problem."

After he finished speaking, he tilted his head back and downed the rest of his drink in one gulp.

The cup is empty.

Li Yichen watched him drink.

He only spoke after Gu Shounian put down his cup.

"Brother Gu, you flatter me."

"Although I'm a businessman, I still have this kind of sentiment."

After he finished speaking, he also downed his drink in one gulp.

The liquor slid down my throat.

heat.

hot.

But it has a sweet aftertaste.

Gu Shounian picked up his chopsticks.

"Come on, have some food."

"Let's eat and chat."

Li Yichen picked up a piece of shrimp.

Put it in your mouth and chew it.

The shrimp were very tender and springy.

Gu Shounian also picked up a piece of lion's head meatball.

took a bite.

"Brother Li, the higher-ups are taking the chip issue very seriously."

He put down his chopsticks.

"You already know the verification results."

"0.5 nanometers, crushing performance, and power consumption so low as to be negligible."

"This kind of chip requires too many components."

Li Yichen looked up at him.

"Which places?"

"Aerospace".

Gu Shounian counted on his fingers.

"Military facilities."

Artificial intelligence.

"Supercomputing".

"There are also many advanced national-level equipment."

"Everyone needs this chip."

He paused.

"So what they mean is that they want all the 0.5-nanometer chips you have."

Li Yichen nodded.

"no problem."

He put down his chopsticks.

"However, my current production capacity is limited."

"Approximately one thousand per day."

"I wonder if that's enough?"

Gu Shounian thought for a moment.

"That's basically enough."

"At this stage, 30,000 units per month can meet the demand."

"If it's not enough, we'll expand production."

"OK."

Li Yichen picked up his teacup and took a sip of water.

"How is the delivery time determined?"

"Five days later."

Gu Shounian said.

"Someone from above will come to pick up the first batch of goods."

"Five days later..."

Li Yichen did some mental calculations.

"It is estimated that more than 6,000 can be produced."

"Although it's not much, it's enough for an emergency."

Gu Shounian nodded.

"We'll take 6,000 units in the first batch."

"Come pick it up once a month after that."

"Thirty thousand pills each time."

"Can."

Li Yichen agreed.

Gu Shounian took out two documents from his briefcase.

Push it over here.

"This is the contract."

"Take a look."

Li Yichen took it.

Turn it over.

The terms are very clear.

Party A: Relevant national departments.

Party B: Future Technology Co., Ltd.

Content: Party A shall purchase 30,000 0.5-nanometer photonic current carrier chips from Party B every month.

Price per piece: 65,000 yuan.

Delivery time: the 5th of each month.

Payment terms: One month's deposit in advance, with the remaining balance due upon delivery.

Contract term: Three years.

Li Yichen read through them one by one.

No problem.

He picked up a pen.

Sign your name.

Gu Shounian also signed.

The two exchanged documents.

Keep them safe.

Gu Shounian then took out a tablet computer from his bag.

I tapped it a few times.

He handed it to Li Yichen.

"This is to show our sincerity."

"The deposit was transferred after the contract was signed."

Li Yichen took the tablet.

The screen displays bank transfer records.

Transferor: A confidential unit.

Recipient: Li Yichen's personal account.

Amount: 5 billion RMB.

Note: Deposit for chip purchase.

Li Yichen glanced at it.

Put down the tablet.

"Brother Gu is really efficient."

"Of course."

Gu Shounian put away the tablet.

"As mentioned above, this level of cooperation cannot be delayed."

"The sooner the better."

He picked up his wine glass.

"Come on, have another drink."

Li Yichen bumped into him.

The two drank another cup.

After several rounds of drinks...

We've almost finished eating.

Gu Shounian put down his chopsticks.

"Brother Li, there's something I need to remind you of."

"you say."

"0.5-nanometer chips can only be used domestically."

Gu Shounian stared at him.

"Absolutely must not be exported."

"I know."

Li Yichen nodded.

"The 1.5-nanometer version can be sold in the civilian market and also exported."

"However, the recipients of the export must be approved."

"Some countries and some companies cannot be sold."

"I understand."

Li Yichen smiled.

"Don't worry, Brother Gu."

"Although I love money, I still have my bottom line."

"That's good."

Gu Shounian breathed a sigh of relief.

He checked the time.

"That's about it."

"I'll have my guards take you home."

"You've been drinking, you can't drive."

Li Yichen wasn't pretentious.

"OK."

The two stood up.

Step out of the private room.

The waiter brought the bill over.

Gu Shounian paid by swiping his card.

I walked to the door.

A dark green military jeep was parked on the side of the road.

A young bodyguard was sitting in the driver's seat.

Upon seeing Gu Shounian emerge, they immediately got out of the car.

"Commander."

"Xiao Zhang, take Mr. Li's car and send him home."

"Yes."

The guards stood at attention and saluted.

Gu Shounian turned to Li Yichen.

"Brother Li, I won't see you off."

"I have to rush back to the military region to report the situation to my superiors."

"it is good."

Li Yichen shook hands with him.

"Take care, Brother Gu."

Gu Shounian patted him on the shoulder.

"It's a pleasure working with you."

"It's a pleasure working with you."

Gu Shounian turned and got into the jeep.

The car started.

They quickly disappeared into the night.

Li Yichen took out his car keys and handed them to his bodyguard, Xiao Zhang.

"Thank you for your help."

"Mr. Li, you're too kind."

Xiao Zhang took the keys and opened the door of the U8.

Li Yichen got into the passenger seat.

Xiao Zhang started the car.

The motor emitted a low hum.

The car drove out of the alley where the private kitchen was located and merged into the traffic on the main road.

It was a little after 8 p.m.

The night view of Shanghai is beautiful.

Neon lights flashed, and skyscrapers lit up.

Li Yichen leaned back in his seat, looking out the window.

The conversation we just had was still replaying in my mind.

Chip orders.

A deposit of 5 billion.

A monthly order of 30,000 chips translates to a stable income of 2 billion.

More than 20 billion a year.

This is only the 0.5 nanometer version.

Once the chip factory is established, mass production of the 1.5-nanometer version will begin, opening up the civilian market.

That's the real money-printing machine.

Li Yichen twitched the corner of his mouth.

The car drove into the underground parking garage of Tomson Riviera.

Come to a complete stop.

Xiao Zhang turned off the engine, removed the key, and handed it to Li Yichen.

"Mr. Li, we've arrived."

"Thanks."

Li Yichen took the key.

"Should I have someone send you back?"

"Need not."

Xiao Zhang shook his head.

"I'll just take a taxi."

"That won't do."

"Really, you don't need to."

Xiao Zhang was very persistent.

"The commander instructed me to go back by myself after dropping you off."

"I can't trouble you."

Seeing his resolute attitude, Li Yichen stopped pressuring him.

"Okay then."

"Be careful on the road."

"Yes, Mr. Li."

Xiao Zhang turned and left.

Li Yichen watched him walk out of the garage before turning around and heading towards the elevator.

The elevator is going up.

Ding.

The door opened.

Li Yichen stepped out of the elevator and pushed open the door to enter the house.

The lights were on in the living room.

The TV was on, showing cartoons.

Miao Miao sat on the sofa, hugging a rabbit doll and watching with great interest.

She turned her head when she heard the door open.

Upon seeing Li Yichen, their eyes lit up.

"elder brother!"

She jumped off the sofa and ran over barefoot.

She threw herself into Li Yichen's arms.

Li Yichen bent down and picked her up.

"Was Miaomiao a good girl today?"

"good!"

Miao Miao wrapped her arms around his neck.

But the next second, she wrinkled her little nose.

"Brother, you've been drinking."

She covered her nose.

"It smells bad."

Li Yichen smiled.

"Your nose is that sensitive?"

"Um!"

Miao Miao nodded.

"It smells bad."

Li Niannian came out of the room.

Seeing Li Yichen holding Miaomiao, he was stunned for a moment.

"Brother Li is back?"

"Um."

"Have you been drinking?"

"I drank a little."

Li Niannian walked over and took Miaomiao from Li Yichen's arms.

"Miaomiao, your brother is tired. Let him rest."

She put Miaomiao back on the sofa.

He turned and went into the kitchen.

After a while, she came out carrying a bowl of soup.

"Brother Li, have some hangover soup."

"I made it."

Li Yichen took the bowl.

The soup was pale yellow and steaming.

He took a sip.

It's a little sour and a little sweet.

"Thanks."

"Don't mention it."

Li Niannian sat down next to her.

"Why did you drink so much today?"

"Let's talk business."

Li Yichen finished the bowl of soup.

Put down the bowl.

My head does feel a bit better now.

Miaomiao came closer again.

"Brother, do you still smell bad?"

"It doesn't smell anymore."

"real?"

Miaomiao leaned closer and took a sniff.

"Hmm, it doesn't smell anymore."

She nodded in satisfaction and sat back down on the sofa to watch TV.

Li Yichen got up and prepared to go upstairs to take a shower.

"Miaomiao, it's getting late. Watch TV for a while and then go to bed, okay?" Li Yichen said, turning back to Miaomiao as he prepared to go upstairs.

Miao Miao nodded obediently, "Okay, brother, I'll watch for another ten minutes, then I promise I'll go back to my room and go to sleep."

Hearing Miao Miao's words and seeing her serious expression, Li Yichen smiled, then turned and walked upstairs.
