150: Chapter 150 Stubborn Lin Junfeng
Hanzhong City, Optics Valley Software Park.
Lin Junfeng hung up the phone and stared blankly at Wang Shuo in front of him, somewhat at a loss for words.
This was a call from Zhao Cheng.
The call lasted only a minute, but it left him completely unable to calm his heart.
The technology he had been dreaming of... was already successful?
And with even better performance and higher quality than he had requested.
This... was just a casual pointer from young man in front of him? He hadn't even bothered to draw a proper diagram! Lin Junfeng had clearly seen him just ask a worker for a pen, scribble on some scrap paper Zhao Cheng had left over, and explain it. The entire process took no more than twenty minutes.

In twenty minutes, he had developed a polymer material that they hadn't been able to make in five or six years.
Was it that Zhao Cheng was too smart, or that Wang Shuo was too awesome?
For a moment, Lin Junfeng was actually somewhat unsure.
But one thing was certain: this President Wang in front of him... really hadn't lied to him. Everything he had said was indeed possible to achieve.
He had put all his eggs in one basket and risked everything, and now it seemed he hadn't crashed and burned?
This was practically more thrilling than a novel.
No matter how thrilling a novel was, could it compare to the thrill of losing everything with just one wrong step?
To be honest, after seeing Wang Shuo's company, Lin Junfeng had even prepared himself to go beg on the streets. But now, it seemed... that wouldn't be necessary.
With Wang Shuo's words constantly echoing in his mind, Lin Junfeng felt a sense of longing. Could the things President Wang spoke of really be achieved?
If they were, what would his own tiny ambition even amount to?
Making Frontier Technology Co., Ltd.'s influence in the industry world-class and entering the top 100 in the world was merely a small goal. Then what was the big goal?
His thoughts racing, Lin Junfeng couldn't help but glance again at Chen Xin, who was sitting quietly to the side.
This girl didn't look very old, and ever since she entered, she had been sitting quietly to the side, seemingly having no special status.
But Liu Yemei's subconscious reaction made Lin Junfeng sense that she was out of the ordinary.
Having navigated society since the age of twenty, Lin Junfeng was highly confident in his ability to read people. He was absolutely certain that Liu Yemei's reaction to Chen Xin even surpassed her reaction to Wang Shuo.
It was the kind of reaction one only had when meeting someone of higher status but who was very close.
Just like when he saw his wi—cough, cough, getting off topic.
Recalling Zhao Cheng's question, Lin Junfeng spoke up: "President Wang, under your guidance, Zhao Cheng has successfully trial-produced Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. We would like to ask if we can expand the production line and enter formal production?"
"The trial production was already successful?"
Wang Shuo was somewhat surprised. He had only scribbled a few things, yet this Zhao Cheng could grasp the key points and successfully trial-produce it?
He actually had some skill.
"What molecular weight did it reach?"
Lin Junfeng took a deep breath and said, word by word, "Five point five million!"
After speaking, he stared intently at Wang Shuo, wanting to see his reaction to this milestone product.
But to his disappointment, Wang Shuo merely nodded calmly, as if he had already known.
"Not bad."
"President Wang," Lin Junfeng couldn't help but say, "that is Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene with a molecular weight of 5.5 million! It's a symbol of our factory's progress in manufacturing technology, a milestone product. Are you really not excited at all?"
"Excited?"
Wang Shuo was stunned. If he had to get excited over this, then when he created Zero and manufactured Room-temperature superconductors, wouldn't he have died of excitement?
Compared to Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, Room-temperature superconductors were the true milestone products of this stage. Their appearance was enough to change the rules of the entire world.
Had he been excited when he made something so awesome?
Not at all.
This Lin Junfeng's mental fortitude was lacking.
"General Manager Lin," Wang Shuo said earnestly, "you are now the general manager of Subspace New Material Technology Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of our Frontier Technology Co., Ltd. You can't get excited so easily."
Most importantly, if he got excited so easily, Wang Shuo was afraid he might suddenly drop dead from excitement one day, and then...
Lin Junfeng was somewhat speechless.
Was it wrong for him to be a little excited?
"But you mentioning this does remind me of something."
Wang Shuo rested his chin on his hand.
"Subspace Company needs to get back on track immediately, or at least ensure the normal operation of the new materials department. I will give you a set of technical data. Have Zhao Cheng study it and proceed with subsequent production according to the technical manual."
"A technical manual?"
Lin Junfeng's eyes shone brightly, looking at Wang Shuo as if he were looking at a treasure trove.
Feeling highly uncomfortable under his gaze, Wang Shuo said directly, "Some parts of the technical data I'm giving you need to undergo trial production immediately. As for how to arrange it, General Manager Lin, you decide."
"I understand,"
Lin Junfeng replied, suppressing his excitement.
"Also, General Manager Lin," Wang Shuo asked in a calm voice, "how are those new industries you added earlier doing?"
At the mention of this, Lin Junfeng couldn't help but feel helpless, smiling bitterly. "How else could they be? They went under."
"A funding issue?"
"Not entirely," Lin Junfeng shook his head. "There was financial pressure, but it was mainly a technical issue. The industries I impulsively decided to enter are all highly technical foundational industries. We had absolutely no clue what we were doing. We barely managed to produce some products, but their performances were clearly lagging behind, and they were phased out by the market."
It was precisely because these expansion industries, which they had high hopes for, failed to recoup their costs that Junfeng Company's situation went from bad to worse.
"Sister Liu gave me a rough introduction to these industries," Wang Shuo said with a frown. "But if you break them down, there are many subfields. Which specific categories did you enter?"
"To be honest, President Wang, I don't know much about technology," Lin Junfeng said bitterly. "So back then, listening to others' advice, I rashly chose a few very hot industries."
"We hired a few electronic engineers to design and manufacture circuit boards and electronic components, but that went under."
"We hired a few electrical engineers to develop Optomechatronics, but that went under."
"We hired a few medical equipment engineers to develop a practical mechanical prosthetic limb, but as a result..."
Lin Junfeng smiled bitterly. "We didn't research the market demand properly, so it went under."
Wang Shuo was somewhat speechless.
The industries Lin Junfeng had chosen were almost all technology-intensive industries.
To say nothing of the others, take Optomechatronics engineering. Even if you went to a specialized machinery factory in Germany, the engineers there wouldn't dare claim they had completely mastered Optomechatronics technology.
This was a systematic, high-value-added, technology-intensive industry that integrated information technology, communication technology, mechanical technology, and electrical technology.
Not to mention that Lin Junfeng had also whimsically wanted to engage in microelectronics design and manufacturing at the same time.
This was simply racing down the road of seeking death, the kind where no one could pull him back.
To be fair, the simplest among them would be the design and manufacture of medical Prosthetic Limbs.
But even so, with the technical reserves of Lin Junfeng's factory, they couldn't pull it off at all.
Did the person who introduced him to these industries have a grudge against Lin Junfeng?
Wang Shuo looked at Lin Junfeng with a strange expression.
This brother... is really hard-headed.
