The night was cool as water, but Zhou Feiyu's mood was as fiery as the dazzling lights.
"How is it?"
After arriving at Hua Long Technology at a leisurely pace, Zhou Feiyu asked Wang Wei with a smile. He suppressed his excitement, intending to play it cool.
"Come with me!"
Wang Wei, however, had no time for pleasantries. He immediately pulled him towards Hua Long Technology's R&D building.
At nine o'clock at night, life in the countryside had long since quieted down. Most people were already asleep. Even in fifth or sixth-tier counties and prefecture-level cities, the daytime hustle and bustle had given way to a deep tranquility. But in Pengcheng, at Hua Long Technology, the lights were brilliant, like broad daylight.
Those in R&D were even more capable of enduring and persevering than others.
According to Wang Wei, Hua Long Technology's R&D had just entered overtime hours, and it was still early for them to go home and rest.
Upon entering, Du Yu, the R&D manager they had met the day before yesterday, and Zhai Zhigang, the materials engineer, were already waiting.
"Mr. Zhou, you're finally here."
Du Yu, with his dark complexion, was all smiles at the moment. His enthusiasm was completely different from the stern demeanor he had shown on the first day; it was like heaven and earth.
"Mr. Du, I've been eagerly awaiting good news from you."
Zhou Feiyu smiled slightly.
Zhai Zhigang still maintained a serious expression. Even when he smiled at this moment, he still looked very serious, but the slight excitement in his expression was very obvious.
He said, "Mr. Zhou, I've tested your material. Although there are still many tests to be done, in terms of light utilization alone, it's completely comparable to the top foreign materials, and even exceeds them by about 1 percentage point. This is simply incredible, and your material is also 0.01 millimeters thinner than theirs."
"Well done!"
Wang Wei clapped his hands and cheered, "This is good news! Damn it, they've been holding us back. I haven't wanted to use their materials for a long time."
After expressing his frustration, Wang Wei immediately asked, "Have you done other tests?"
Du Yu said, "Engineer Zhai, please tell us the results of your tests today."
Zhai Zhigang nodded and immediately began to explain in detail: "Time was short, so I only roughly tested the light utilization and compared the material analysis. I just mentioned the light utilization. At the material level, ordinary optical films on the market are covered with multiple layers of film, and then a layer of optical material is coated on the film, most of which are metals, and conductive metals at that. But Mr. Zhou's material, like the top foreign materials, contains no metal, just layer after layer of molecular film..."
As Zhou Feiyu listened, he was secretly amazed. As expected of a materials engineer at Hua Long Technology specializing in material introduction and verification.
In just one day, apart from some tests that required a long time and molecular-level material technology, Zhai Zhigang had basically explained the performance and structure of his "Basic Optical Film" clearly.
This is the gap. Even with the Galaxy Technology Library giving me technology, it still took me two or three days to understand this much, right?
Zhou Feiyu compared himself and once again felt that there was always someone better out there.
And this was just an ordinary materials engineer within Hua Long Technology, completely unknown on a societal level. If it were outstanding talents or top talents at Zhong Zheng Company or at the national level, the depth of their expertise in their respective fields would be even more unimaginable.
Of course, Zhou Feiyu wouldn't underestimate himself. After all, he graduated from a key university.
And now he had the Galaxy Technology Library!
"...Manager Wang, I think Mr. Zhou's material can enter the prototyping test stage."
Finally, Zhai Zhigang summarized his opinion.
"Amazing!"
Wang Wei patted Zhou Feiyu's shoulder heavily, a look of relief on his face.
He asked Du Yu for his opinion: "Brother Yu, what's your suggestion?"
Du Yu smiled and said, "My R&D is responsible for verification. You handle the material matters."
Wang Wei nodded, thought for a moment, and made up his mind. He said to Zhou Feiyu, "Old classmate, send over some information about your company. I'll have procurement add it to the resource pool. We'll arrange the sampling and verification simultaneously, otherwise, we won't keep up with the schedule."
At first glance, Du Yu's words seemed to say nothing, but how could he not understand Du Yu's meaning? It was nothing more than: you can introduce the material, and my R&D will be responsible for verification and won't make things difficult for you, but you, Wang Wei, have to take responsibility for this introduction. You, Wang Wei, will be the main person in charge, and if there are problems in the future, you can handle them yourself.
Wang Wei wasn't afraid; he could handle this much responsibility. So, he followed the company's procedures.
"Okay, thank you for your support!"
A look of gratitude appeared on Zhou Feiyu's face, and he quickly nodded in agreement.
He was actually as clear as a mirror in his heart, but no matter what, this trip was truly thanks to Wang Wei.
Currently, it was just entering the sampling and testing phase, just the beginning. Later, it would involve sample testing, integration into Hua Long Technology's resource pool, and even the H Customer's review, among other difficulties. It could be said that out of the eighty-one difficulties, only one had been overcome. The road ahead was long and arduous. However, everything is difficult at the beginning, and Zhou Feiyu believed that the subsequent difficulties would not be insurmountable obstacles.
The matter was settled like this, and Zhou Feiyu immediately offered to treat them to a late-night snack.
Du Yu, however, laughed and said enthusiastically, "Mr. Zhou, don't go out to eat, it's too expensive. How about this, since you're here, we'll treat you to our company's late-night snack."
His attitude this time was completely different from when they first met.
"As expected, you still have to rely on strength!"
Zhou Feiyu thought to himself.
"Old classmate, I'll treat tonight. Use my card. Our cafeteria's late-night snacks are very rich, and much healthier than outside."
Wang Wei echoed, then took out his work badge and showed it.
Zhou Feiyu immediately said, "Then I must see what a big company's food is like."
Saying that, the group of four left the R&D building and walked to the cafeteria building for a late-night snack.
It must be said that the food at Hua Long Technology, a listed company and the number one ODM factory, was excellent. It was free for all employees, and basically anything available on the market was available here, with relatively authentic flavors. Fried, stewed, boiled, drinks, fruit tea, everything was available.
Zhou Feiyu also had his eyes opened. While eating, he was also thinking, "My Fei Yang Technology will also be like this in the future, no, it should be even better."
It was a tearful story. The food in most domestic companies was very poor, even to the point of being called "pig slop," with large pots of rice and vegetables, and no oil or salt.
The material company Zhou Feiyu was in was the same. Even though he was a key technical talent and could enjoy manager-level meal benefits, it was just small stir-fries, equally unappetizing. He basically went home to cook for himself.
The conscience of a company lies in its food!
During the meal, Zhou Feiyu also mentioned a piece of news about the Oupai mobile terminal customer. He said to Wang Wei, "I heard that Oupai Company is going to launch a dual-punch-hole screen, and Zhong Wei Technology is bidding. I wonder if your company is participating?"
Wang Wei was startled, but smiled and said, "Probably participating, I'm not very clear on the specifics. I'm in charge of the Zhong Zheng mobile customer, the Oupai mobile customer is not one I follow."
"Oh, I see."
Zhou Feiyu smiled and immediately said, "Old classmate, I strongly support your company's work. For this material, I can supply it to your company at 70% of the price of Wang Zhe Material, regardless of whether the terminal is a Zhong Zheng phone or an Oupai phone."
Wang Wei was filled with respect and gave a thumbs up: "Old classmate, you're truly generous!"
To sell material with performance surpassing Wang Zhe Material at 70% of its price was not just ordinary support; it could be said to be strong support.
After finishing the late-night snack and returning to his place, it was already half past eleven.
Zhou Feiyu, however, felt no sleepiness at all. He even wanted to post on his Moments to share his excitement.
In the end, he held back. After picking up his phone, he only sent a message to Li Shihan: "Shihan, are you asleep? I want to ask you to see a movie tomorrow."
Li Shihan didn't reply for a long time, so it seemed she was asleep.
Zhou Feiyu thought to himself, then lay down on the bed. He first fantasized for a while about his upcoming plans, then thought about the blind date for a bit, and gradually fell asleep without knowing when.
On the other side, Wang Wei didn't rest after returning. Instead, he made a call to his direct superior, Wu Feng, the project director of Hua Long Technology: "Director Wu, sorry to bother you, but I have something to report."
