Chapter 632: Chapter 279 United Fleet Chapter 632: Chapter 279 United Fleet China's negotiation team was stunned upon arriving at Misty Island. In their minds, Misty Island was nothing more than a barren islet, so even with recent land reclamation, they expected a poor environment. They never anticipated Misty Island would resemble a utopia.
However, these were worldly individuals who quickly composed themselves. After a brief rest, they immediately met with Yan Fei and Lu Pingping. After exchanging pleasantries, they cut to the chase and embarked on a round of secret talks.
The agenda was extensive, and numerous agreements needed to be reached, but with both sides eager to concur and without major disagreements, they aimed to find common ground and compromise. Thus, the negotiations progressed swiftly, concluding in just five hours.
This negotiation could be considered the most significant in Misty Island's history, setting the direction for its future development. Future history books, however, would not detail these talks, leaving their specifics unknown. It was certain, though, that China promptly demonstrated comprehensive support for Misty Island and reiterated Yan Fei's legal ownership of the island. To affirm their support, they took many practical steps. Following these talks, a technological boom occurred within China, with former shortcomings in technology now remedied, marking the beginning of China's great resurgence.
The participants were unaware of the significance of their negotiations. After concluding talks, the Chinese negotiation team immediately returned to their accommodations and transmitted the details back to China through Yu Xiaozhou's secret communication channel. On the other side, Lu Pingping grabbed Yan Fei for a discussion.
Lu Pingping seemed to share a close relationship with Wen Rou, as though they talked about everything, but she steadfastly avoided visiting Yan Fei's home to stay away from Wen Rou. Thus, their conversation took place in a detached villa Yan Fei had prepared for Lu Pingping.
With reddened eyes and noticeable excitement, Lu Pingping blurted, “Fei, do you really have two 5 nanometer Chip Production Lines?”
Yan Fei nodded, “Indeed, I have two such production lines.”
Lu Pingping questioned, “But the most advanced Chip productions lines in the world are only 7 nanometers, and there aren't many of them. How could you possibly have even more advanced 5 nanometer production lines, let alone two?”
Yan Fei smiled, “Pingping, you know about Yang Qi on our Misty Island, right?”
Lu Pingping replied, “I do. You've told me before, after you rescued him, he has stayed on Misty Island. Are you saying these 5 nanometer Chip Production Lines were designed by him?”
Yan Fei nodded, “Correct, the 5 nanometer Chip Production Lines were designed by Yang Qi. We always knew Yang Qi was brilliant, but we underestimated his intelligence. It only took him a few months on Misty Island to fundamentally enhance our technological capabilities.”
As Lu Pingping listened intently, Yan Fei continued, “Our company is called Dream Technology, but apart from weight loss cookies and cosmetics, we didn't have many noteworthy high-tech products. After Yang Qi's arrival, our technological level surged, enabling us to produce various high-tech products. It's only now that our company truly lives up to the name Dream Technology.”
Lu Pingping was somewhat stunned, as Yan Fei's research on Misty Island was highly confidential, and he had never gone into it with her in detail. She had assumed Yang Qi would need time to adjust and recover before he could start research. It came as a surprise that Yang Qi had begun working and designed such impressive Chip Production Lines in such short order.
Lu Pingping immediately spotted an issue, “Even if Yang Qi has designed 5 nanometer Chip Production Lines, how can we manufacture them? We don't have the capacity on Misty Island, do we?”
Yan Fei explained, “Actually, I already possess the capacity to produce high-precision instruments and equipment, but for certain reasons, I cannot disclose how. So, once Yang Qi designed the 5 nanometer Chip Production Lines, I manufactured them, creating two in one go.”
Lu Pingping, who knew Yan Fei had secrets and understood his reasons for not revealing them, was overwhelmed by the realization of Misty Island's newfound capabilities. She then asked, “While you have the capability to produce these 5 nanometer production lines, do you comprehend their true value? Why would you just them to the nation like that?”
In the past few years, China experienced explosive growth in the field of technology, but still lagged significantly behind the world in several critical areas, including Chip production. China had to import over 90% of its Chips from overseas, with the foreign exchange spent on Chip imports even surpassing that of oil, alarmingly reaching 250 billion US Dollars last year.
