When Huang Guangming saw the factory director bringing people over, he was desperate. He was even prepared to be criticized. However, he didn't expect that when the factory director brought a group of people over, the factory director didn't even notice him. Instead, he looked at Lu Zhou and spoke enthusiastically.
"Academician Lu, why did you come to Jiangcheng in person? Why didn't you tell us in advance? We didn't even prepare for your visit … "
"No, no, no, no, no, no need to be so polite." Lu Zhou looked at the man who was said to be the factory director and quickly stopped him. He said, "The reason why I didn't tell you in advance was because I didn't want to disturb your work. Now that you brought so many people over, it's a waste of my effort. "
Of course, Lu Zhou wasn't going to say that he came back early for Chinese New Year because he was annoyed by all the gifts. He coughed and continued.
He coughed and said, "Don't worry about me, just let this comrade show me around the factory."
Huang Guangming, who was still in a daze, was patted on the shoulder by Lu Zhou. He squeezed out a shy smile on his face.
Meng Zhongbiao finally noticed the person standing next to Lu Zhou. He was stunned for a second and didn't recognize who this person was. However, judging from his work clothes, he was probably someone from the factory.
"Then … Can you please take care of Academician Lu and show Academician Lu around the factory." Meng Zhongbiao smiled at Huang Guangming and signaled to the secretary next to him.
The secretary quickly understood. He took out his phone and secretly took a photo. He then tagged the head of the human resources department in the WeChat group and added a sentence below the photo.
[Who is this person? I want detailed information!]
"Oh, okay!"
Huang Guangming didn't notice the secretary's actions. After being personally given a task by CEO Meng, Huang Guangming quickly nodded.
Based on his years of experience in the industry, Factory Manager Meng was obviously acquainted with his brother. Although he didn't know that the title of an academician was so prestigious, he was relieved that his bonus was saved.
After all, in the chip industry, especially in technical positions, unless they were in key positions like supervisors or deputy supervisors, most low-level employees would take on the role of screws. The only difference between them and frontline workers was that they were on the assembly line, while they were in the cubicles of the office.
His basic salary was only enough for him to pay off his car loan. If he didn't have a bonus, he would really have to eat dirt this month.
After the leaders left, Huang Guangming was relieved. He looked at Lu Zhou and thanked him.
"Thank you, brother. Thanks to you, I've managed to keep my bonus this month."
Looking at Little Scum and smiling, Lu Zhou teased, "Don't slack off next time. I can fish you up once, but I can't follow you up every day, right?"
"Didn't I say that I'm not slacking off, I'm just going to the toilet to smoke … Even if it's a sweatshop, I can't be on duty every second of every day." Huang Guangming touched the back of his head and said helplessly, "I'm usually very dedicated …"
"Stop bullshitting me, take me inside." Lu Zhou looked at the huge factory and said, "I've always heard that HiSilicon's chips are made by TSMC. Now that they finally have their own factory, I'm quite curious about what it's like inside."
"It's nothing special. Come with me … What about this brother?" Huang Guangming looked at Wang Peng, who didn't speak much from the beginning.
Wang Peng: "I'm mainly responsible for Academician Lu's safety, just pretend like I don't exist."
Huang Guangming paused for a second and nodded. "Okay then …"
The three of them walked through the gate of the factory and walked into the spacious factory.
They followed Huang Guangming's footsteps and walked around the factory. They visited each processing area and learned about the production tasks that each factory was responsible for.
Lu Zhou looked at the empty core processing area. He paused for a second and spoke.
"How come there's not a single piece of equipment here … No one."
"Because the most important thing is … Anyway, the technology is still confidential." Huang Guangming almost told Lu Zhou about the carbon-based transistor, but fortunately, he reacted fast enough and said, "I can't disclose the specifics, this is a state secret … Please understand."
"It's fine, I understand."
Lu Zhou smiled and nodded. He knew what was going on.
It seemed like Little Scum was quite professional; he didn't even reveal any confidential information to Lu Zhou.
However, he probably didn't know what was confidential and what wasn't. Lu Zhou was the one who drew the boundaries.
Huang Guangming was a lot more careful since he almost leaked such a confidential matter. He changed the topic.
"… I heard you've been in nuclear fusion and aerospace before. How come you have connections in the semiconductor industry?"
"Connections?" Lu Zhou frowned and said, "Not really, I don't really know many people in the semiconductor industry …"
Wang Zhengfei was probably half a friend, but in fact, he wasn't very familiar with him. Other than that, he only knew Professor Wu Tianqun, who was the leader of the carbon-based transistor project and the future Academician Wu.
As for the others, he didn't know any of them.
"Okay, okay, stop pretending, I'm not asking you to do anything." Huang Guangming glanced at him in disbelief and said, "If you weren't familiar with Old Meng, would he let you into the factory?"
"Oh, you're talking about that? I'm not familiar with him, I didn't even know his last name was Meng." Lu Zhou smiled awkwardly and said, "But HiSilicon … I own half of the shares."
Huang Guangming: "…???"
…
On the other hand, inside the factory manager's office.
Meng Zhongbiao sat down behind his desk and took a sip of tea from his vacuum flask. He then looked at the secretary who came in with him.
The secretary quickly understood the meaning of the boss's gaze. She looked at the message on her phone and took two steps forward.
"I did my research, the technician's name is Huang Guangming. His resume is average, nothing special, and he doesn't have any bad records. However, he did his undergraduate at Jin Ling University, and he seems to be roommates with Academician Lu. "
"Roommates?" Manager Meng paused for a second and said, "They're in the same year?"
The secretary nodded.
"Academician Lu is in the Jin Ling University class of 2013 … Even though they didn't graduate in the same year, they're in the same batch."
They're in the same batch?
One of them is an academician, how come the other one is doing so poorly …
Meng Zhongbiao thought for a bit and spoke.
"Invite Huang Guangming to my office."
The secretary understood and nodded.
"Okay, CEO Meng."
The leader used the word "please" instead of "call" or "call". His attitude was already very clear.
Even though Meng Zhongbiao was jealous, he couldn't be jealous.
After he found Huang Guangming, he politely invited the newly graduated technician to his boss's office. He then left the office and closed the door.
After the door closed, the atmosphere in the office suddenly became quiet.
Huang Guangming looked at CEO Meng, who was sitting behind the desk without saying a word. At this moment, Huang Guangming was both nervous and a little confused.
If Lu Zhou told him that he had shares in East Asia Power, or even the two major airlines, he would believe it. But HiSilicon … Isn't the company he works for a subsidiary of Huawei?
It's not about making money …
If he was the CEO of Huawei, he wouldn't give up Huawei's chip business even if he had to suffer a loss of hundreds of millions of yuan. Not to mention that not only did HiSilicon not lose money, but it was also quite capable in the fields of monitoring and automation.
However, Lu Zhou didn't explain anything to him. He just asked him to show him around the factory and said that they would talk again when they were free. Lu Zhou then left.
He went back to his office cubicle and sat for a while. Before he even sat down, he was invited back by the boss's secretary …
Huang Guangming looked at the silent CEO Meng and asked nervously.
"CEO Meng?"
No answer.
Not even a "mhmm".
Huang Guangming didn't know what was going on, but he didn't dare to speak.
Time quietly passed by. As the clock on the wall slowly passed by, Meng Zhongbiao, who was sitting behind the desk, finally nodded.
Even though Huang Guangming was a bit stupid, he was still a top student. He wouldn't even look at a group of engineering graduates. However …
After taking a closer look, Huang Guangming was worth training.
He would arrange for him to be a security officer or deputy safety director, then he would be promoted to management …
Of course, if that didn't work out …
The opportunity was there. If he didn't have the ability to seize it, Academician Lu wouldn't want an idiot in an important position.
While Factory Manager Meng was thinking, Huang Guangming had goosebumps all over his body. Especially the smile on Huang Guangming's face, Huang Guangming had goosebumps all over his body.
F * ck, could it be that this fellow has taken a fancy to me?
I'm not gay!
While he was hesitating whether or not to say anything, Factory Manager Meng, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.
"From now on, you'll be in charge of the safety of the research center."
Huang Guangming: "…?"
