"Chairman, Qin Jiang said he had wanted to tell you. He was even prepared to interrupt the boss at work, but you stopped him and wouldn't let him speak, saying you could afford to wait!"
"Fuck!" Hearing this, Chairman Ren and the others wanted to curse, some of them even stamping their feet.
Lei Xiaojun and the others were helpless. It had already been several hours—was Ye Fan still not going to rest?
He hadn't even taken a sip of water. That was far too terrifying.
Tap!
Ye Fan typed the final character. Today, he had only programmed less than three percent of the artificial intelligence. For an entire AI, there was still ninety-seven percent left to go.
All ten of his fingers were numb and faintly aching. His body could not handle the strain; it seemed he needed to exercise more.
"Mr. Ye Fan!" Just as Ye Fan was about to drink some water, the president beside Chairman Ren hurriedly called out.
"Hm?" Ye Fan looked up and saw Chairman Ren and the others. He immediately set his laptop aside and prepared to get out of bed.
"Brother Ye Fan, there's no need to get down. You need to rest and recuperate!" Chairman Ren and the others hurried forward and said.
Chairman Ren forcefully pressed him back onto the bed and refused to let him rise. Ye Fan's mouth twitched. Damn it, I just want to get up and walk around, okay? I've been sitting in bed all day, and my whole body aches. What was with pinning me to the bed?
I just have anemia, okay? It's not like there's something wrong with my body.
Ye Fan fell silent for a moment, and the others did not know how to begin. The room immediately sank into silence and awkwardness.
"Ahem. The day after tomorrow is the 28th, right? You can hold the Press Conference then. We've already overcome all the hardware, accessories, software, and other technologies for the phones. Our technology is even better than that of the other major groups, so don't worry." Ye Fan broke the awkward atmosphere.
Hearing this, Chairman Ren and the others immediately perked up. Wasn't this exactly why they had come?
"Brother Ye Fan, do you mean you've already cracked Flash Memory Technology, Under-Screen Camera Technology, and Battery Technology?"
Chairman Ren and the others widened their eyes as they asked.
"I didn't crack them!" Ye Fan looked at them and answered seriously.
Uh...
Everyone froze upon hearing that. What did he mean?
"Why would I need to crack them? I developed my own technology. Why would I bother cracking their inferior technology?"
Boom.
Hearing this, the few of them trembled inwardly.
That was far too domineering.
Why crack it? I can develop it myself, so why would I crack your inferior technology? Their technology was all the lowest grade—that was the key point.
In other words, Ye Fan's technology was more advanced than theirs.
At this thought, Chairman Ren and the others were incomparably excited. The Four Major Mobile Phone Groups were finally saved. They could finally break the monopoly over the entire mobile phone market.
"Brother Ye Fan, what do you want in exchange for these technologies?" Chairman Ren asked.
"I don't want anything. You can use them for free!"
Huh???
Everyone was stunned. Free use of the technology patents? Was there really such a good deal?
"Th-then how could we possibly accept that?" Chairman Ren said in disbelief.
"But I have one request!" Ye Fan continued.
A request was good. What he feared was having no request, Chairman Ren thought to himself.
"Help us promote a game we made for free!"
"Mm, fine. We'll immediately transfer the payment..."
Ah!
Chairman Ren and the others were dumbfounded. Chairman Ren had only gotten halfway through his sentence. He had never expected that Ye Fan did not want money, but merely wanted them to help promote a game for free. Was that even a request?
Even if Ye Fan had demanded money and asked them to promote the game, they would have agreed.
Yet this was practically giving them the technology for nothing.
"Mr. Ye, why are you doing this?" Lei Xiaojun asked from the side.
"Why? It's simple. Foreign companies bully us and monopolize our technology. Then why can't we break free from their cage? Why can't we fight back? We must become self-reliant. We must become strong. Helping you is also helping China, helping our motherland, letting the whole world know that we aren't afraid of your monopolies—we're only afraid you won't be able to catch up!"
Clap, clap, clap.
A group of people began applauding, their faces flushed as they looked at Ye Fan. He had said it so well.
Fight monopolies.
We weren't afraid of them.
We had technology too.
Who was afraid of whom?
Bring glory to China.
Wonderful.
Ye Fan smiled sincerely as well. What he had said was true, but his ultimate goal was actually to gradually hollow them out. All your technology was developed by me. When the time came, you would not have any technology left—only factories and supply chains. Wouldn't that make you my free factories?
Once the Graphene Phone appeared in the future, it would be the ultimate war to unify the mobile phone market.
Chairman Ren and the others left, departing with tears of gratitude.
At the same time, the president beside Chairman Ren brought over the contract for Ye Fan to sign. Once it was signed, Qin Jiang would dispatch all the laboratory's technical researchers to Huawei Laboratory and teach them the technology hands-on.
Ye Fan was not afraid of technological leaks, because he had already simplified these technologies. By the time his Graphene Phone hit the market, all the technology would be upgraded.
He was not afraid of technology leaks at all. He had targeted countermeasures.
One had to be steady in handling matters, consider the bigger picture, be tactful with people, sweet-tongued, shameless, and ruthless to accomplish great things.
This was the experience Ye Fan had gained from surviving for so many years.
Ye Fan was discharged from the hospital.
When he returned to the company, all the employees gathered around Ye Fan and asked after his well-being. They were now terrified that their boss would collapse again.
"How is the game running?" Ye Fan looked at Guo Yang and asked.
"Boss, it has already run more than a hundred thousand times. Our colleagues have been working overtime these past few days, testing the game. It can already go live. The server can support up to six hundred thousand people. We've also created nearly three hundred thousand advanced bots. As long as someone enters the matchmaking queue, they'll be matched into a game as quickly as possible. The bots will be removed once the online player count exceeds two hundred thousand!"
Guo Yang answered fluently. After hearing him, Ye Fan nodded in satisfaction. Those three hundred thousand bots were merely a backup plan. A team fight with a thousand people would be difficult to match in a short time, but with bots, it would become much faster and would not affect the player experience at all. They were not the kind of stupid bots that just stood there and let you hit them.
They were bots personally configured by technicians, capable of being far stronger than some high-level players.
Everything was ready.
Next, all that remained was to wait for the Four Major Mobile Phone Groups' Press Conference on the 28th, the day after tomorrow.
At the last Press Conference, the Four Major Mobile Phone Brands announced the birth of the X System and started a war.
This time, on the same 28th, they would announce that they had overcome the technologies. What exactly would happen?
