"Professor Qiao, how is the taste of the dish? Is it to your liking?"
"Haha, that's great. Come often in the future, I'll have the chef prepare a few more special dishes just for you." Fan Jiasheng laughed heartily.
Qiao Ze nodded and responded, "If we cooperate, I'll definitely come again."
Listening silently to their conversation, Lu couldn't help but roll his eyes in secret.
Goodness, the young people these days really don't bother with polite formalities.
However, in the next moment, Qiao Ze's voice reached his ears again.
"Ten material model activation codes, to be distributed by Yuesheng Group."
Ten activation codes? What does that mean?
Before Lu Zhongguo could react, he heard the ecstatic voice of his boss.
"This... This is too kind of you, Professor Qiao. You are really too gracious."
Where was there even a trace of reluctance?
By now, Lu Zhongguo had also caught on.
Material model activation codes?
Wasn't that the very thing so many material laboratories were desperately vying for?
Several of the group's upstream suppliers' laboratories were going crazy over this activation code.
But it was rumored that currently, only about twenty laboratories in the country had received the codes, mostly concentrated in universities and the Science Academy's direct affiliates.
For private companies like theirs, even with the scale of a public company, they didn't even have the qualifications to apply.
It was said that even the timeline for opening up the qualifications was uncertain, with discussions at the higher levels about tightening the qualifications.
Who would have thought that Qiao Ze would directly offer ten activation codes right off the bat?
Even if Lu Zhongguo was indifferent to social niceties, he knew that these ten activation codes could be worth the cost of building five robots when used for favors, even if the boss didn't sell them.
Of course, if they were sold, there could be a profit to be made.
At this stage, those activation codes were indeed priceless!
"But I still need to report to the committee; all output must be submitted to the committee for review. However, domestic research and sales won't be greatly affected," Qiao Ze explained succinctly.
"I understand, of course," Fan Jiasheng nodded repeatedly. Stay connected with My Virtual Library Empire
"My robots, as soon as possible."
"Certainly, Lu, you'll take full responsibility for this. Since you're both here today, discuss with Professor Qiao and determine when you can provide the sample to Professor Qiao, under the premise of the group's full Keep reading on NovelHub - where stories come alive!
"Well, if Professor Qiao can provide the materials, chips, and system in time... two months, at most two months, I guarantee to have the prototype ready," Lu Zhongguo quickly replied, looking up.
If he had to design such a robot from scratch, two months would certainly not suffice.
But the group only needed to handle the body parts, and since they had detailed drawings for every component, the timeline was sufficient if they were just responsible for manufacturing.
What Lu Zhongguo didn't expect was that before Qiao Ze could speak, his own chairman banged on the table: "What? Two months? Work hard for a while, Lu, we'll promote you two levels, assign you enough manpower, working in three shifts around the clock, twenty-four hours non-stop. Is forty days enough for you?"
"Ah? Well... if that's the case, forty days should be enough!" Lu Zhongguo gritted his teeth and said.
"Good, let's settle on that. What do you think, Professor Qiao?" Fan Jiasheng slammed the table.
"Mm." Qiao Ze nodded.
But in reality, at that moment, Qiao was thinking that Xu should learn from this chairman how to really perform.
Compared to Xu Dajiang's flamboyance, Fan Jiasheng's demeanor was truly natural.
