Chapter 225: Choice

Lu Yu thought for a moment, did not answer Chen Hao, but went with him to the third floor to see the current specific research results.

As of now, the phone system can already run, and Lu Yu's proposed demands have basically been realized.

But the system is not stable enough, and there are some bugs.

Don't think this situation is close to success; actually it's still far off.

A system, due to an omission in a piece of code or a very small bug, will directly crash.

Similar to Windows systems, after countless tests it is released, but some versions are hardly used by anyone.

It is precisely because this system is not stable enough that it often experiences freezing or black/blue screen situations.

So, before thoroughly verifying that the system has stabilized, the road ahead is still long.

After understanding the current progress, Lu Yu returned to the office.

Lu Yu even called Professor Chen over.

"I currently have two ideas."

"The first idea is to start investing in building a factory now; once the factory construction is completed and the system here can basically run, we will put it into production."

"The second idea is to first devote all energy to developing the phone system; once a sufficiently stable system appears, then we will invest in production."

Lu Yu looked at Professor Chen and Chen Hao and said.

The two did not speak immediately, both pondering the significance of Lu Yu's two ideas.

The first idea roughly aims to compete with Fruit Phone for time and market.

Moreover, it is likely to succeed.

After all, no matter how you say it, Fruit Phone is foreign; they want to enter the Huaxia market, but they actually still need to rely on Huaxia merchants' promotion and effort.

And Lu Yu actually already has considerable influence in Huaxia; under his promotion, their phones will surely more easily capture market share.

However, the drawback is also obvious, because…… no one can be certain that when the factory is completed, the phone system's R&D will have yielded results.

Moreover, we must also say that hardware equipment, such as crystal cores and the like, still needs to be purchased from abroad.

There are many troubles hidden therein.

Lu Yu's second idea, therefore, appears much more steady.

But the problem remains: no one knows when the phone system at the research center can be adjusted to an ideal state.

If by that time, Fruit Phone has already occupied the market?

Unless the system they develop is substantially better than Fruit Phone's system.

Even so, they will still encounter hardware problems……

One can only say…… it's too hard!

Chen Jiaosou and Chen Hao could only remain silent.

Lu Yu pondered for a while, then said: "This was originally a road full of hardship."

"Since we have already come this far, then…… let's persevere."

"I have now decided……"

Saying this, Lu Yu couldn't help but take a deep breath, because this decision for him is also not something that can be made so simply.

"I will start preparing to build the factory from now."

"By then, if our system still hasn't yielded results, it's no problem……"

"We can let the factory research hardware issues."

"So…… I now need your help."

"Talent, we need talent in hardware."

As Lu Yu spoke, his expression became more serious, his gaze more resolute.

Building a factory might not want to spend much money, but equipment procurement and talent recruitment could be an astronomical figure.

Most importantly, there may not be any result!

Professor Chen and Chen Hao remained silent, because they could roughly guess the risk of Lu Yu doing this and how large the investment would be.

"Let's decide like this!"

"Things that have started, let's continue them!"

Lu Yu hammered the decision.

Professor Chen took a deep breath, saying: "I understand, I will contact an old friend, have them come over, or have them recommend some talent over."

Chen Hao, however, remained silent.

After a while, he then clenched his fists and said: "Lu Yu, I initially indeed had doubts about you, although I didn't show it."

"But from now on, no matter whether you ultimately succeed or fail, I will always follow you!"

This is a pledge of allegiance, Chen Hao's determination.

Lu Yu smiled and said: "Don't worry, in short we won't starve to death."

After this discussion ended, Lu Yu returned to Grand.

He closed the office door, but did nothing, just sat quietly there, staring blankly at the outside scenery.

How much investment is needed to build a factory that can supply phones for all of Huaxia?

Lu Yu dares not imagine.

This might be Lu Yu's largest investment to date, and even of his lifetime.

To this end, Lu Yu might have to divert all the resources of Grand, Penguin, and Moyuwangka.

So, this truly is a difficult decision to make.

But Lu Yu still did it.

Just for ten years later, twenty years later……

The phones that Huaxia people hold will not all be Fruit Phones anymore.

Online, there won't be so many doubts about domestic phones!

Not knowing how long he had been doing that there, Lu Yu finally withdrew his gaze and then focused his attention on the computer screen.

He began writing the proposal.

……

After another three days, Lu Yu finally got the factory construction proposal done.

Building the factory actually doesn't require much of Lu Yu's thought; he's not an architect, and the specific execution doesn't need him to worry.

He mainly focuses on the allocation of production lines, the purchase of equipment, the allocation of talent, and the layout of the factory area…

And other matters related to people.

Moreover, Lu Yu also thought of some solutions to problems that Huaxia has so far been unable to solve in the field of electronic technology.

At this time, Lu Yu actually didn't go look for Professor Chen and Chen Hao.

As for building the factory, or rather the operational side, they two are actually not good at it.

Lu Yu made a phone call to Mr. Qin.

Recently, Mr. Qin has been in the south.

Moyuwangka has already opened; as of now, it has ten chain stores in Shen City, having temporarily established a foothold and can continue expanding.

According to Mr. Qin's idea, they will next go after the market in Yangcheng.

That is a market with enormous potential for appreciation.

Mr. Qin is determined to obtain it.

"Go back? Why?" Upon hearing Lu Yu's request, Mr. Qin's tone was full of doubt.

Now is precisely the best opportunity for Moyuwangka to develop outward; everything is also going smoothly, so why would Lu Yu let him return?

Most importantly, if Mr. Qin is not there, with Xiao Min's current ability, it is actually still insufficient to support Moyuwangka's expansion.

"Yes, I want you to come back."

"I have more important things for you to do here."

Lu Yu, however, said firmly.
