Black Technology Research Center

And so, they enjoyed a fulfilling and wonderful New Year. Xiang Lingling had accepted Fang Yuan's proposal. As for when the wedding would be held, that wasn't up to Fang Yuan and Xiang Lingling alone.

It had to be discussed by both sets of parents.

However, Fang's parents started to get anxious, insisting on meeting Xiang Lingling's parents to discuss the wedding.

Since it was a wonderful New Year, both sets of parents were very satisfied after meeting.

The only thing left was the wedding date.

According to Fang Yuan's wishes, he wasn't in a hurry. He wanted to wait until the current project he was working on was finished before discussing the wedding.

Xiang Lingling wasn't in a rush either. Since she had already accepted Fang Yuan's proposal, the wedding was just a formality.

Both sets of parents didn't think so. Now that the proposal was successful, they wanted to finalize things as soon as possible.

After intense discussion, both sides made some concessions.

The wedding could wait until Fang Yuan's project was finished, but they needed to confirm the relationship as soon as possible.

That is to say, they needed to get that little red book (marriage certificate) as soon as possible.

The two of them had no room to object. Since both sets of parents had decided, they could only comply.

After finishing things on his end, Fang Yuan immediately returned to the controlled nuclear fusion research team.

Even so, he was still the last one to return.

"Little Fang is back!"

As soon as he entered the lab, the old researchers started greeting him.

"Happy New Year, everyone. Let's not waste any time and get straight to work!" Fang Yuan went straight to the point.

"Elder Lin, please hurry and organize the results of the second phase. Also, to ensure the progress of the project, we can start the preliminary experiments now!" After Fang Yuan gave his instructions, he returned to his office.

He hadn't finished planning the third phase yet. To have a good New Year, he had focused most of his energy on completing the second phase plan before the holiday.

It was a little behind, but not by much. At most, it would take two or three days for him to finish.

He could use this time to let the old researchers digest the second phase.

Things might not be so smooth next. Even with him there, it wouldn't be plain sailing.

Besides, he couldn't put all his energy into this.

What about the Research Center and Kyushu? Was he going to ignore them?

That's what he said, but in reality, it was impossible for him to ignore everything.

At the very least, he had to firmly grasp the direction of technological development. To be honest, the interests at Kyushu and the Research Center were too great, and some people would do anything for profit.

Even with people above him, he couldn't let his guard down.

After all, those people above weren't working for him. They could take care of things a little, but they wouldn't always be watching out for him.

Fang Yuan understood this very well, which was why the think tank was necessary.

Even the management system of Kyushu and the Research Center would become more and more complex in the future. Although this might lead to lower efficiency sometimes, it greatly reduced the risk.

All of this was worth it. Don't think he really didn't understand anything about business. With a father like that, how could he really know nothing?

However, Liu Zhijun was too kind and not greedy at all. He had regretted giving him so many shares back then, but now it seemed he hadn't made a mistake.

It was because of his presence that Kyushu could be so stable.

However, Liu Zhijun was getting old. In a while, he shouldn't be able to shine in technical positions anymore, and he had already begun to shift to the management level.

Even when doing management work, Liu Zhijun was still so outstanding.

Of course, he was still far behind Li Tianqi. Speaking of Li Tianqi, this kid had been in a great mood recently.

He was the biggest beneficiary of the employee stock option pool that Fang Yuan had established. His annual salary and bonuses were already high enough, and now he had a considerable stock option income, which made him even more motivated.

Unlike Liu Zhijun, he was not yet forty years old and still had room for promotion.

He hadn't seen the end of his career yet. In fact, it could be said that as long as he was at Kyushu, he would not be satisfied with his career.

He originally thought he was here to repay a favor, but after coming here, he was shocked by everything at Kyushu.

This was the company of his dreams. The boss never interfered in areas where he wasn't good at.

Moreover, every employee loved each other. What professional manager wouldn't want to work for such a company?

This should be his "home" in the future.

Fang Yuan's side was progressing in an orderly manner, and the Research Center wasn't slacking off either.

To be honest, they weren't satisfied with their previous achievements. It could be said that all of their previous accomplishments were carried out under Fang Yuan's direction. Even if they were the ones who ultimately completed them, the sense of accomplishment was greatly reduced.

But now it was different. For the last month of last year and the entire year of this year, they had been doing things according to their own preferences.

A group of like-minded people with similar skill levels and ages were working on their favorite things in a team.

They hadn't dared to think this way before. Before coming here, they were more like tools.

Tools to cater to other people's preferences.

Now the situation was different. They were starting to fight for their own ideals, except that the final results had to be shared with the Research Center.

But what did that matter? As long as they could realize the value of their intellectual achievements, what was wrong with sharing them with others?

Look at President Fang. He could share carbon-based chips and holographic projection technology with others. Compared to that, what did they have to complain about?

Now they were starting to secretly research something, and the level of secrecy made them feel strange!

With such security measures, the final result would definitely not be a simple invention.

They had a premonition that when Fang Yuan announced it, everyone would be shocked.

Did they even need to say that? Anyone with a brain knew that.

After all, this kid hadn't been idle since he came back from abroad. Now that he had disappeared, it could only mean one thing.

This was the calm before the storm. When he appeared again, he would bring a real storm.

It was a pity that they didn't make him disappear when he was just rising. This was the thought of all countries that didn't have a good relationship with China.

Who could have expected this? But now, they were thinking too much if they wanted to attack Fang Yuan.

They were even thinking too much if they wanted to attack the people around Fang Yuan.

There was no need to say anything about Fang's parents. What hadn't they encountered over the years?

Now, even Xiang Lingling had special protection, completely resolving Fang Yuan's worries.

It was really ironic that so many useful inventions he had made would become a thorn in other people's eyes.

It was okay if they didn't thank him, but why did they want to eliminate him?

He also felt that the security forces around him were constantly increasing, which could only mean one thing: those above felt that the existing security forces around him were not enough to guarantee his safety.

Now he couldn't even personally accept awards, which was the most annoying thing for him.

Well, these were the downsides of fame. Not only fame, but if he said he wanted to change his nationality, countless people would run around for him.

Fortunately, he didn't have that idea. China was so good. There were so many delicious and fun things. Most importantly, he couldn't tell who was who if he went abroad.

The third phase was indeed as he expected. The progress was slow, the process was difficult, and there was a pit at every step. Even with Fang Yuan, the overall progress of the project was not as smooth as before.

Two months passed like this.

"Ah! It's finally almost done. I'll leave the rest to these people. I'm going back to see my darling Lingling!" Fang Yuan stretched and muttered to himself.

As for the title "darling Lingling," he had only come up with it recently.

After packing his things and saying goodbye to the seniors, Fang Yuan took a special plane back to the Research Center.

Helicopters were convenient, but they weren't very comfortable. He didn't know when the plane his mother had ordered would arrive.

Thinking of private planes, Fang Yuan could think of his private island.

He didn't know how his mother was doing with these two things.

In fact, he didn't need to worry at all. When Fang's mother took action, it was a piece of cake.

She had already negotiated the private island and was going through the procedures. As for the private plane, that couldn't be rushed.

Whether it was the customized interior or the safety, it required a long debugging time.

At the very least, it would be difficult to get it this year. And that's with his mother having powerful connections at Boeing.

Just how powerful was his mother before? She could find connections everywhere?

Anyway, that was indeed the case. He had discovered this problem when his father wasn't doing business back then.

His mother's luxury goods had never stopped, except that his pocket money was a little less at ordinary times.

It made him think those luxury goods were fake. Now it seemed he hadn't seen his mother's true face.

If he had known she was so rich, why would he do so many things?

Wouldn't it be better to just mooch off her? He could use money to kill the system. According to the system's nature, it would make him the academic peak of the world without saying a word.

However, Fang Yuan was not far from this goal now.

......

Not only was Fang Yuan's side lively, but China's mobile phone industry was particularly lively this year.

Ever since the establishment of the China Mobile Phone Alliance became public knowledge, the four major Chinese mobile phone manufacturers began to gradually integrate.

However, the most important factor in becoming a family is equality.

Currently, Hua Factory's size is larger than the other three combined, making integration impossible; ultimately, Hua Factory might end up swallowing the other manufacturers.

This matter is progressing slowly, but the waters of China's mobile phone industry are getting deeper and deeper.

After all components are produced in-house, it's a huge blow to those upstream manufacturers.

Currently, Seven Stars has almost no market in China, whether for mobile phones or components.

Most importantly, China's screens and other components are now no worse than Seven Stars', and may even be better.

Needless to say, the price is more than 50% lower than when using Seven Stars' components before.

With this calculation, would China still use Seven Stars' components?

Of course, some fools can't be ruled out, such as a certain patriotic brand, whose mobile phone business is basically declared dead.

Even with Seven Stars' full support, they can only maintain this posture, with annual sales not reaching the 100,000 level.

The former big brother no longer exists; they can only blame themselves for turning a good hand into this mess.

However, Great Millet is currently up to something unknown; they've already created the foldable screen that was once incredibly popular, but they've changed their previous marketing strategy and appear unusually low-key.

It's as if it's a chicken rib, without much interest.

However, this technology has also been applied to this year's digital series flagship phone, but it always feels like they are holding back a major move.

They indeed prepared a major move, but they have not found a solution.

Lei Bu Si is so anxious that his Mandarin has improved, and his English pronunciation has also become more accurate.

At this time, he thought of Fang Yuan's existence; if he couldn't integrate, then Fang Yuan would definitely have a solution.

After all, holographic projection technology came from his hands; he must have a way to solve this matter.

However, Fang Yuan's phone has been unreachable, and no one knows where he went; there's been no signal at all.

Fortunately, Fang Yuan now has a think tank, and this matter has already been communicated to Xiang Lingling.

As soon as Fang Yuan returned, he knew about this matter.

"What? Lei Bu Si is looking for me? This guy doesn't visit unless he has a problem; he must have some problem that he can't solve," Fang Yuan smiled.

"Then shall we go take a look?" Xiang Lingling tentatively asked.

"Do you want to go? Shall I take you to Great Millet to play?" Fang Yuan asked.

"Hmm! I'm not very interested; you decide!"

"Then pack up our things, and let's go see what Lei Bu Si is up to!" Fang Yuan waved his hand and said.

"Okay!"

After returning to Kyoto and putting things away, Fang Yuan took Xiang Lingling directly to Great Millet headquarters.

Lei Bu Si had been waiting for a long time; after exchanging pleasantries, they went straight to the topic.

"You said you want to combine mobile phones and holographic projection technology? Hmm! It shouldn't be a big problem, right?"

Fang Yuan thought for a while and said.

"There were no problems in the early stages, but now we've encountered some problems! I don't know much about this area either, so I'll call over the chief engineer and have him discuss this matter with you," Lei Bu Si said.

"Alright!"

For an afternoon, Fang Yuan was discussing this matter with Great Millet engineers.

"Your idea is very good, and I understand the problems; how about this, it's already very late today, how about I come over tomorrow to help you solve these problems?" Fang Yuan said, glancing at the time.

"Are you saying you can solve these problems?" Great Millet's chief engineer looked at Fang Yuan in surprise and asked.

"Yes, none of them are fatal problems; your general direction is not wrong, but you've deviated a bit; it's actually very easy to solve!"

Fang Yuan's words made him very helpless; what do you mean 'very easy to solve'!

It's not easy to solve at all, okay; you need to know how much time they spent on these 'easy to solve' problems.

This really can't be compared; with one comparison, Lei Bu Si realized that Great Millet's chief engineer was just so-so.

In front of Fang Yuan, he was just a primary school student.

Even less than a primary school student.

This is not his fault; after all, Lei Bu Si has already seen through Fang Yuan; invisible forced bragging is the most deadly, this is the highest realm of forced *.

It seems that his realm has not yet arrived, but he has already learned it and will use it in the future.

Fang Yuan didn't know that his unintentional actions led this big shot to a road of no return.
