“Boss, should we go to the factory first or to the hotel?”
“Let’s go to the hotel first. Where is Zhou Jilong? Is he at the factory?”
“Yeah, he’s been taking care of those production lines like they’re his babies. He even moved into the research institute with them!”
After Lin Wu finished speaking, he noticed a hint of confusion on Zhou Chao’s face. In a moment of inspiration, Lin Wu quickly added, “When the factory was built, the construction company designed a research institute, three stories tall. It’s already completed and was delivered along with the factory.”
“Oh, did he come back alone, or did he bring others with him?”
“Well... Boss, you’ll find out when you visit the research institute!”
Seeing Lin Wu’s mysterious smile, Zhou Chao became curious and said, “Then I won’t go to the hotel first. Wang Feng, drive me to the factory!”
“Sure, Boss!”
“I’ll take a nap for a bit. Wake me up when we arrive!” Zhou Chao was feeling a bit tired from the rushed events of the day, but he was excited about the surprise that awaited him.
Lin Wu saw Zhou Chao close his eyes to rest and sat up straight. He then said to Wang Feng, who was driving, “Drive steadily and take it slow.”
“Got it!” Wang Feng nodded, and the car’s speed gradually decreased. Explore the beginning of this data at n0v^lbin★
Normally, the journey took about an hour, but today it took nearly an hour and a half to reach the semiconductor factory.
“Boss, we’ve arrived at the factory!”
“Ah, have we already arrived?”
Zhou Chao opened his eyes and looked out of the car window. The former steel mill had transformed drastically. Tall buildings lined the roadsides, and several large factory areas indicated the significant changes that had taken place. Zhou Chao was filled with anticipation for this unknown semiconductor factory.
Quickly, Wang Feng parked the car in the factory’s parking lot. Zhou Chao stepped out of the car and saw lush greenery all around. The abundance of trees, plants, and flowers in the area instantly lifted his spirits.
“These plants are nice. They make the entire factory area look less dull.”
Zhou Chao looked around and noticed that many areas had been adorned with trees, flowers, and other greenery, which eliminated the previous monotonous atmosphere of the steel mill.
“Boss, let me introduce you. This is Chai Yucheng, Academician Chai, a heavyweight in the field of mechanical engineering, along with his team.
And this is Xiong Wenrui, Xiong Lao, also an academician. Xiong Lao is primarily a top expert in materials science.”
Zhou Jilong whispered to Zhou Chao, “Boss, you can fulfill your promise, right? It took me great effort to find them.”
Zhou Chao didn’t reply but simply nodded slightly. Then he turned his gaze to the two men.
“Hello, Chai Lao, Xiong Lao. I’m Zhou Jilong’s boss and the owner of this factory, Zhou Chao. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
Zhou Chao shook hands with both of them and continued, “I’m honored that you’re joining our team. I believe that Zhou Jilong has already given you a brief introduction, and I can assure you that everything he said is true and valid.”
“Zhou Jilong’s integrity is indeed trustworthy. We don’t know when our dreams will come true,” Xiong Lao initiated the conversation.
“Xiong Lao, Chai Lao, this isn’t the place for discussion. Shall we find another place to chat?”
“Sure, we’ll follow your lead.”
Zhou Chao then looked at Zhou Jilong, who led him, along with the two esteemed experts, to an office. The rest of the people dispersed, as it was better to keep certain things confidential.
Inside Zhou Jilong’s office, they found it well-equipped and spacious. Zhou Chao and the two experts sat on the sofa, while Zhou Jilong brewed some tea.
“Since both of you were brought here by Zhou Jilong, 1 won’t beat around the bush. You must already have some understanding of what this factory is about. What I hope for now is sincere cooperation, to get the semiconductor wafer factory up and running as soon as possible. At the same time, I’d like you to help us develop our own semiconductor wafer production lines.”
“Mr. Zhou, not to dampen your spirits, but with our current technology, having production lines alone might not guarantee wafer production. We also need the corresponding expertise,” Xiong Lao said seriously, genuinely concerned about Zhou Chao’s aspirations.
Zhou Chao took a sip of tea to moisten his throat before addressing the two esteemed experts. “Did Zhou Jilong not inform you that I possess the world’s most advanced semiconductor wafer production technology?”
“The most advanced wafer technology? What size?” Xiong Lao stood up abruptly from the sofa, his face filled with astonishment.
“Oh, my apologies, 1 should have clarified earlier. 1 had only discussed the production line with Lao Zhou previously, without mentioning the related technology.”
Pausing for a moment, he continued, “The silicon wafer technology I possess is undoubtedly the world’s most advanced, with a focus on 12-inch wafers. Furthermore...
1 also have mature research data for 16-inch wafers. Are you both interested?”
With a confident smile, Zhou Chao looked at the two.
“Mr. Zhou, I’m willing to join your research institute!” Both Chai Lao and Xiong Lao eagerly stood up.
“Welcome aboard, gentlemen. With your addition, I believe we will secure a prominent position in the world..”
