While the mathematics world was stirring because of the report, the seemingly unrelated electronics industry was stirring because of a two-thousand-word letter.
For those CEOs who were worth tens of billions, many of them were keenly aware of some signs that seemed to be about to change, but no matter how they used their connections, they could not find any news about this matter.
Some people said that the state was going to introduce a new semiconductor industry support policy. Some people said that there was a breakthrough in the 7-nanometer lithography technology. Some people even exaggerated that a recent internal document showed that the state planned to build a new semiconductor industry cluster to develop advanced semiconductor technology.
It had to be said that the last rumor was actually very close to the truth.
After the news of the graphene transistor technology breakthrough came out, the first item discussed in the Beijing high-level emergency meeting was to build a new semiconductor industry cluster. They would use a centralized management model to produce and develop this new semiconductor technology.
This way, it would be easier to keep the information confidential and integrate social resources.
Of course, the specific content of the meeting was only circulated among a small group of high-level officials. Everyone who attended the meeting signed a confidentiality agreement and accepted the supervision of the government for a year to prevent leakage of information.
Just like that, all kinds of rumors spread in the industry. Many industry bigwigs with keen senses vaguely sensed that something was amiss. These rumors were too deliberate, as if they were deliberately spreading them to cover up something …
The CEO of Huawei, Wang Zhengfei, was one of them.
When the rumors first came out, his keen sense of smell told him that a storm was brewing in the semiconductor industry. As for whether this storm would be a rainbow or a muddy ground, only God knew.
Just when everyone was anxiously waiting for the storm to come, an invitation from Chang 'an Street appeared on his desk.
The moment Wang Zhengfei saw the invitation, the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
What's coming is finally coming!
…
Chang 'an Avenue, Beijing.
In the conference room on the west side of the grand and imposing hall, there was a dense crowd of people moving about.
Wang Zhengfei walked to his seat and sat down. He looked to the side and saw that Li Zixuan, the CEO of Huaxing Group, was also here.
When he noticed CEO Li, CEO Li also noticed him.
The two of them looked at each other, and the corners of their mouths twitched in unison.
F * ck!
Who arranged the seats?
"Yo, I didn't expect Director Wang to also receive an invitation."
Wang Zhengfei chuckled.
"Since Director Li is here, how can I miss the appointment?"
Li Zixuan smiled and did not reply.
Stand me up?
What a joke.
The ministry asked you to attend a meeting, but you dared to stand me up. You must be tired of living.
The two of them did not exchange any more words. They just sat there quietly, waiting for the meeting to begin.
Although he was waiting, Wang Zhengfei was not idle. While no one was paying attention to him, he secretly sized up the other participants in the conference room.
When he found out that the participants were either executives in the semiconductor industry or people in the electronics industry, he had a rough idea of what this conference was about.
However, at this moment, a strange expression suddenly appeared on his face.
Wait, in addition to being related to the electronics industry, the people sitting here seemed to have one thing in common, and that was that they were rich.
Recently, the aerospace industry has been making big strides. Is it because they are short of money?
It's not like they're here to shear sheep, right?
Soon after, the participants arrived one after another. The clock on the wall was on time, and the conference was finally about to begin.
The participants sitting at the table stopped their discussions and focused their attention on the front of the conference room. Soon after, the projector was turned on, and a dignified old man walked to the front of the stage.
When Wang Zhengfei saw this old man, he suddenly had a look of surprise on his face.
The head of the National Development and Reform Commission!
This guy is actually hosting the meeting!
Thinking of this, the expression on his face gradually became serious, and he subconsciously took out a notebook and a ballpoint pen from his pocket.
Looks like today's meeting is going to be very important!
"I'm very sorry to interrupt your work in the midst of your busy schedule. I've called all of you here today mainly because I have something to discuss with all of you."
"Before the meeting begins, I must emphasize again that the contents of this meeting must be strictly confidential. All of the topics discussed in this meeting must not be discussed with anyone else.
"If we find out that the information has been leaked, we will investigate the source of the leak. Once we find out who leaked the information, the person who leaked the information will face charges of espionage and treason."
There was a commotion in the conference room.
The crime of espionage was a little too frightening.
The old man looked around at the participants in the conference room. After making sure that his message had been completely conveyed, he paused for a second and spoke.
"Then, let's get down to business. Let's talk about today's topic."
The old man on the stage nodded at the staff next to him.
The powerpoint image was quickly lit up on the screen through the projector.
The moment Wang Zhengfei saw the title, he was stunned.
Not only him, but the CEO of Huaxing sitting next to him, as well as the countless CEOs and industry leaders sitting behind him, all of them seemed to have been struck by a paralysis spell. They were all shocked by the information revealed by that line of headline. They were all stunned.
"Carbon-based … chips?"
Li Zixuan pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose and moved his butt forward, trying to get a closer look.
When he realized that his eyes weren't playing tricks on him, he couldn't help but mutter to himself, "What kind of joke is this?"
"What kind of joke is this?"
Wang Zhengfei was awakened by the words of CEO Li next to him. He took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
Carbon-based chips?
What the hell?
It was one thing to overtake a car at a curve, but wasn't this a little too big of a turn?
No, this is too big, I can't even tell which way is north.
They weren't the only ones who were shocked.
More and more people recovered from the shock, and the sound of discussion gradually spread in the conference room.
Carbon-based chips?!
They were no strangers to this term at all. Every now and then, they would see some freshly graduated students trying to sell them the future of carbon-based chips at angel investor conferences with shoddy PowerPoint presentations.
However, everyone knew that investing in this kind of project was no different from doing charity.
What a joke, even Microsoft, Google, and Intel couldn't figure out how to do this, but a freshly graduated college student was able to do it!
Do you think everyone is like Lu Zhou?
However, this wasn't a roadshow or an angel investor summit …
This was an industry conference hosted by the Communist Party of China. The people sitting here were all leaders in the semiconductor and electronics industry. The person on stage was the head of the National Development and Reform Commission, and the topic of discussion was related to the future of China's semiconductor industry …
Because of this, the words "carbon-based chips" had a completely different meaning.
The conference continued.
The PowerPoint presentation started to play.
The shock on Wang Zhengfei's face intensified. Even his index finger and thumb, which were holding the ballpoint pen, were trembling slightly.
If this wasn't another "Han Xin" blunder, then this would be Huawei's opportunity to stand on top of the world, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
He couldn't help but hold his breath and clench his fists.
He had to seize this opportunity!
Huawei had to seize this opportunity!
If he missed this opportunity, he would regret it for the rest of his life …
