411: Chapter 410 Attitude

"And me!"

Ignoring the strange looks from Yang Changhe, Chen Zhongxuan, and the others, General Manager Wu walked up to Wang Shuo with a smile on his face. His eyes flickered as he asked a question that seemed completely irrelevant to everyone else: "General Manager Wang, do you know Dean Qin?"

"Dean Qin?"

Wang Shuo was slightly taken aback. Among the people he knew, there were many who were qualified to be called Dean, but there was only one surnamed Qin.

"Are you talking about Dean Qin of the Huaxia Central Academy of Science?"

General Manager Wu took a slight breath: "You really do know him."

Wang Shuo clearly felt that the attitude of the General Manager Wu in front of him had changed slightly.

"Then... do you also know Dean Qian?"

Wang Shuo was taken aback again. Where was this Dean from?

"You don't know him?"

General Manager Wu looked slightly regretful.

"Among the people I know, there is no Dean surnamed Qian."

Wang Shuo shook his head slightly.

"That's true. That person has always been in Beijing, so it's normal that you haven't met him."

General Manager Wu smiled slightly. This was the first time he had shown this expression since entering the room: "General Manager Wang, our Tengyue will participate in your project, even if it's just for the name."

Did his attitude really change that quickly?

Wang Shuo looked at General Manager Wu with some confusion: "Has your technical data been verified successfully?"

"Haha, not yet."

General Manager Wu said with a smile: "But we believe in General Manager Wang's technical strength."

As he spoke, General Manager Wu seemed to remember something else and said hopefully: "General Manager Wang, I wonder if your company is currently short of funds? If you are, we could invest some capital."

What is going on?

Even an old hand like Chen Zhongxuan was completely bewildered at this moment.

First he voluntarily asked to join the project, then he wanted to invest in Frontier Technology. Even if the data Wang Shuo provided was amazing, General Manager Wu didn't need to be so humble, right?

Or could it be... that something happened here that they didn't know about?

"Investment?"

Wang Shuo couldn't quite understand the thoughts of the General Manager Wu in front of him, so he shook his head slightly: "There is no need for financing for the time being."

"Is that so?"

General Manager Wu showed an "as expected" expression: "It seems we don't have a chance."

No chance?

Yang Changhe and the others looked at each other. What did that mean? Why did it feel like General Manager Wu was talking nonsense?

A negotiation meeting that was originally tense ended smoothly because of General Manager Wu's major change. Although a few people were missing, it didn't affect Wang Shuo's mood.

In the subsequent negotiation process, General Manager Wu almost agreed to every request Wang Shuo made, and even took the initiative to offer to produce a set of precision optical lenses according to Wang Shuo's design drawings for free for testing purposes, and only sign the supply contract formally after they passed.

In one go, this was a loss of tens of thousands, which made Chen Zhongxuan and the others look at him with new respect.

Two hours later, the negotiation ended smoothly. Wang Shuo sent the important partners out the door and was about to exchange a few pleasantries when his phone rang.

Seeing the caller information, Wang Shuo was slightly taken aback and looked up at Chen Zhongxuan, General Manager Wu, and the others.

"Does General Manager Wang have something else to do?"

General Manager Wu keenly noticed Wang Shuo's expression and quickly said: "Then we will leave first. Time is tight, and we can get the factory to arrange production immediately when we get back to get the finished product out as soon as possible."

His attitude was so sincere, completely different from when he first arrived.

This made Chen Zhongxuan even more confused.

"This... is that appropriate? Why don't we have a meal together?"

Wang Shuo hesitated a little.

"It's appropriate, why wouldn't it be?"

General Manager Wu said with a smile: "General Manager Wang must have other important things to do. Old Chen and I can handle small matters like eating ourselves, so we won't trouble General Manager Wang."

"Alright then."

Wang Shuo looked down at his phone and finally made a decision: "Then let's do it another day."

General Manager Wu nodded immediately: "Another day, another day I will treat General Manager Wang to a meal."

After speaking, he pulled Chen Zhongxuan, who still wanted to say something, into the commercial vehicle they arrived in.

Watching the vehicle drive away, Wang Shuo finally answered the phone.

"Hello, Sister Zheng."

...

On the commercial vehicle, Chen Zhongxuan made himself comfortable, looked back at General Manager Wu, frowned and said: "General Manager Wu, do you know some news?"

General Manager Wu smiled and shook his head: "What news could I know?"

This sentence was clearly a brush-off. Chen Zhongxuan didn't believe it, but he had no way to continue asking.

Even if someone knew something, if they didn't say it, what could you do?

"However..."

General Manager Wu didn't stop his sentence, his voice was somewhat meaningful: "Old Chen, you might be about to soar to the sky this time."

...

Donghai City, New District.

Zhangjiang Tech Park, headquarters of Donghai City Microelectronics Group.

At this moment, General Manager Qin was accompanying several Middle-aged men walking through the production workshop of the Microelectronics Group.

"Mayor Zhang, Dean Qin, experts."

General Manager Qin's expression was gentle, but his voice was very steady as he introduced: "What you are seeing now is the most advanced Lithography Machine production line of our group. In an expedited state, it can guarantee the production of one SX or SA series Lithography Machine every two months. These are also the two mainstream Lithography Machine models currently provided to the domestic market. Most military factories and some Chip processing factories in the country use these."

"Currently, our Lithography Machine's market share in the domestic market has reached 40%, and it is still rising rapidly."

"Not bad, indeed not bad."

Mayor Zhang was a Middle-aged man who looked very elegant. He nodded constantly when he heard this, praised, and then turned his head to the person beside him: "Dean Qin, what do you think?"

Dean Qin nodded slightly: "It is not bad."

"Mayor Zhang, Elder Qin."

Another slightly chubby Middle-aged man on the side seized the opportunity and interjected: "We have already made detailed designs for the next generation of Lithography Machine solutions. The specific performance parameters have been greatly improved, ensuring that the predetermined plan can be completed."

"Oh?"

Mayor Zhang looked at the Middle-aged man who spoke: "Who is this..."

"This is Vice President Tang Ren, currently the Vice President of Donghai City Microelectronics Group."

General Manager Qin explained and glanced at Vice President Tang Ren without leaving a trace.

"Vice President?"

Mayor Zhang showed a smile: "Even a Vice President knows the country's arrangements and deployments. General Manager Qin, it seems that our Donghai City Microelectronics Equipment Group is still very democratic."

Vice President Tang Ren's heart jumped slightly. Even if he were a pig, he would know that this sentence was definitely not a compliment. He hurriedly explained: "Mayor Fang, it's not what you think. General Manager Qin didn't tell me any news."

Mayor Zhang waved his hand: "It's fine, it has to be said eventually. Since it's been brought up, let's talk about it. Elder Qin, you say it."

Dean Qin nodded slightly and looked at General Manager Qin: "You have already made a plan?"

Being watched by Dean Qin's gaze, General Manager Qin felt inexplicably nervous and nodded slightly: "We have made some plans."

"The reaction is quite fast."

Dean Qin didn't say much and continued to ask: "How is it?"

General Manager Qin shook his head slightly: "It's not very optimistic."

"Not optimistic?"

Dean Qin's gaze was full of pressure: "Want to give up?"

"I dare not give up."

General Manager Qin felt a slight bitterness in his mouth. This was a feeling he hadn't had for many years.

"Hmph."

Dean Qin snorted: "It's not optimistic, that's why we let you handle it. If it were simple, would it be your turn?"

Vice President Tang Ren looked at Dean Qin, who was scolding General Manager Qin like a grandson, and was a bit stunned.

The most important thing was that General Manager Qin, who suppressed him so much that he didn't dare to act rashly, could only cope this time and didn't dare to refute at all.

"I suggested that this matter be handed over to your group."

Dean Qin said lightly: "Since you are sitting in this position, you must have the awareness to pay. If you want to slack off and wait for death, then get out. This is not the place for you to stay."

General Manager Qin showed a bitter smile.

"To give you more motivation, I want to find you some competition."

Dean Qin looked at the silent General Manager Qin and said: "The specific documents will be issued in the next two days. You..."

Before he finished speaking, his phone rang.

Dean Qin was slightly taken aback, took out his phone and glanced at it, then showed a smile, and casually threw the phone to General Manager Qin.

"Take a look."

General Manager Qin took the phone, glanced at the document on the phone, and his pupils shrank instantly. He immediately cast his gaze at Vice President Tang Ren, and a cold light seemed to flash in his eyes.

Dean Qin didn't seem to notice this scene and just said lightly:

"Prepare well. You can lose face, but don't bring the Microelectronics Group down with you! If you lose, I will replace you!"
