Chapter 144: Smart Butler

Hao Zude hurriedly said:

"Student Su, I certainly believe in your technology, and the higher-ups also believe in your technology."

"However, the research and development of a Lithography Machine concerns the core strategy of the country; there is never any logic in putting such important eggs in one basket."

"But rest assured, I will certainly report your request truthfully to my superiors. As for whether the higher-ups will agree, I do not know either."

"After all, this matter is too big. As a mere director, I am only a link for communication with you and have no say in this matter at all."

Su Xin smiled calmly:

"Then I will trouble Director Hao. You all go ahead and communicate about this matter first. I will proceed to arrange the acquisition of a Lithography Machine manufacturing enterprise and set about researching technologies related to the Advanced Lithography Machine."

"Understood!" Hao Zude replied earnestly.

"By the way, regarding the telecommunications license, please also help follow up on that, Director Hao."

Su Xin still smiled calmly:

"Although I am setting aside a portion of my time to research the Lithography Machine, I have never forgotten about the telecommunications business. It is only because the telecommunications business requires high-end chips that I have been forced to research the Lithography Machine."

Hao Zude could not help but be speechless for a moment.

The telecommunications industry is also a major high-tech industry with extreme difficulty and a very high threshold. Su Xin actually wanted to continue advancing into the telecommunications industry while independently researching an Advanced Lithography Machine.

This was no longer just confidence; it could simply be called arrogance.

However, Hao Zude did not say much. After all, Su Xin's past achievements were too brilliant. Things that were impossible for ordinary people might not be that difficult when it came to Su Xin...

Perhaps.

Hao Zude thought to himself.

After hanging up the phone, he summarized and optimized Su Xin's ideas and reported them to his superiors.

It is worth mentioning that as Su Xin has repeatedly developed various top-tier technological products, the higher-ups have long attached immense importance to him and specially arranged for Hao Zude to serve as the intermediary contact.

No matter what ideas or needs Su Xin has, they can reach the ears of the highest authorities directly through Hao Zude.

……

On the other side, after hanging up the phone, Su Xin casually put down his mobile phone, opened the computer in front of him, and began to supplement the details of the plan he had thought of last night.

Although the new telecommunications plan could not be implemented due to the issue with satellite communication chips, this did not mean he was going to shelve it completely.

While researching the Advanced Lithography Machine, a portion of the new telecommunications plan could also be implemented first, which would be equivalent to building momentum for the subsequent complete plan.

At two o'clock in the afternoon.

Su Xin sat in his office, opened the video conferencing function of the Tianwei Butler, and invited Liu Qingli and several other executives to join.

Soon, all the executives had arrived.

"It has been a long time since we held a high-level meeting. Today, I am announcing an important strategy: starting today, Tianqi Company is officially entering the Semiconductor industry. I am going to research the Advanced Lithography Machine next."

Su Xin said straight to the point.

Hearing this, the few people could not help but look at each other.

Su Xin had only recently founded the telecommunications company, and it had not yet achieved anything. Now he was entering the Semiconductor industry, and he was directly researching an Advanced Lithography Machine. Was this leap not too large?

However, since Su Xin had said these words, it was clear that he had already made his decision, and no one dared to speak up to refute or question him.

Su Xin continued:

"Qingli, arrange the acquisition of a Lithography Machine enterprise as soon as possible, at any cost!"

Liu Qingli nodded and then asked:

"But, in the manufacturing of Lithography Machines, it seems that many components are restricted by Yingjiang Country. We might not be able to buy them."

Su Xin said decisively:

"It doesn't matter. Since they have blockaded us, I will research and produce everything myself."

"I have just communicated with the officials and wanted to ask for their support. If the officials do not provide support, that is fine too; we will just break through the difficulties one by one ourselves."

"In short, one of the most important strategies for the company moving forward is the research and development of the Advanced Lithography Machine."

"For this, I can invest all the money earned by all other subsidiaries into this. If one hundred billion is not enough, then one trillion; if one trillion is not enough, then two trillion. If that still doesn't work, I can earn more and more money through even more industries."

"I don't believe that with my technology, plus unlimited funds, I still can't build a complete Semiconductor industry chain from scratch?"

Although the capital requirements for the Semiconductor industry chain are very large, they are not invested all at once. Given the profitability of Su Xin's several major subsidiaries, it is indeed enough to be called having unlimited funds.

Hearing this, the few people felt slightly more at ease and inexplicably gained confidence in the research and development of the Lithography Machine.

"In addition to the research and development of the Lithography Machine, the development of the telecommunications company cannot be left behind."

Su Xin continued: "I have an idea to design a personal data center that integrates functions such as a smart speaker, Small Base Station, and personal cloud storage, or let's call it a Smart Butler."

"It can talk and chat like a smart speaker and control all the smart appliances in the home. Moreover, with the technical foundation of the Tiantian Assistant, its level of intelligence is undoubtedly the highest."

"It can also act as a personal cloud, storing personal data files, which both guarantees privacy and frees up more space on mobile phones and computers."

"It can prevent theft and sound alarms. If a stranger breaks in or the owner has an accident, the Smart Butler will automatically sound an alarm or call an ambulance. With the intelligence level of the Tiantian Assistant, it is not difficult to analyze these situations through sound and images."

"Finally, it can also act as a Small Base Station, enhancing the signal in the home, allowing the 5G Network to truly enter every household, covering the whole country, and letting everyone enjoy top-tier signals anytime, anywhere."

"Based on this last point, we can even pay users based on the online time of the Smart Butler to encourage everyone to use it, thereby promoting the universal adoption of the Small Base Station."

"For example, if you use the Smart Butler for a few years, the rewards could offset the purchase cost of the device, which is equivalent to getting it for free. I believe the vast majority of people would be willing to buy it."

"After all, judging by its various functions, similar products on the market cost at least one or two thousand Long Coins. Coupled with the advantages of our product, it is absolutely enough to pique everyone's interest."

"What do you all think of this idea?"

The few people fell into deep thought.

This model sounded like a complete loss-maker; all equipment costs were returned to the customer, which was equivalent to bearing all the costs oneself while also providing services to so many users for free.

But since they were all executives, they immediately thought of the profit point of this model—

That is, cooperating with operators.

After all, once the Smart Butler that Su Xin mentioned is popularized, it could allow the currently lackluster 5G Network to truly enter the practical stage.

By then, various applications of the 5G Network would explode in large numbers, and users, the country, operators, and enterprises would all be able to benefit from it.

Especially for operators, not only can they save on the high costs of popularizing base stations, but they can also enjoy the massive data traffic revenue brought by a large number of 5G applications.

Therefore, by using the method of subsidizing equipment costs to popularize base stations, Su Xin can naturally seek cooperation with operators and obtain substantial subsidies.
