Chapter 39

In the study, five women, each uniquely styled yet equally exceptional, stood silently to the side, their gazes fixed on the young man behind the desk. The air still seemed to hum with the solemnity and fervor of just assembling the core team.

Qin Feng's fingertips lightly tapped the smooth rosewood desk, producing a rhythmic soft sound. His eyes swept over Su Wenqian, then cut straight to the point:

"Wenqian, the team is now in place. It's time to launch our core project. The 'Galaxy Chip' initiative can officially begin."

Su Wenqian immediately shifted into gear. She stepped forward, a super-thin transparent tablet computer appearing in her hand as if by magic. With a light tap, a three-dimensional holographic projection materialized in the center of the study—a complex chip structure diagram, its lines flowing and glowing with a deep blue light.

"Director Qin, the preliminary architecture of the 'Galaxy' series chips, based on your provided... core instruction set and design philosophy, has completed its foundational simulation calculations by 'Star Sea.'" Su Wenqian's voice was clear and professional. "Results indicate its theoretical performance exceeds that of the world's current top-tier comparable products by at least three orders of magnitude, especially in energy efficiency ratio and parallel processing capability, offering a disruptive advantage."

The projected chip structure began to shift, branching into multiple variants—from ultra-low-power versions for mobile terminals to massive cores designed for supercomputers and data centers—all accounted for.

"We must immediately address two matters." Qin Feng stared at the projection, his gaze sharp. "First, establish 'Galaxy Technology' as the entity for chip R&D and design. Second, assemble the world's top-tier hardware engineering team and semiconductor physics laboratory."

"Understood." Su Wenqian swiftly took notes. "Site selection for the lab and recruitment of top talent…"

Before she could finish, Lin Wei, responsible for finance and capital, spoke up, her voice carrying a cold, calculating precision: "Director Qin, Secretary General Su. I can immediately allocate ten billion U. S. dollars from our offshore capital pool as Phase One funding for 'Galaxy Technology.' Meanwhile, regarding the poaching of top global semiconductor talent, I've already identified 137 targets—including chief architects and senior process engineers from TSMC, Samsung, and Intel. With your approval, the most advanced 'headhunting' operation can launch within 24 hours."

Lin Wei's words carried no ripple of emotion, as if moving billions in capital and poaching core figures from industry giants were routine operations.

"Approved." Qin Feng nodded. "Lin Wei, you have full authority over funding and talent poaching. I want the fastest results."

"Yes." Lin Wei gave a slight bow, her eyes gleaming with excitement at the challenge.

At that moment, Tang Rou, responsible for strategy and diplomacy, stepped forward gracefully. Her gaze swept over the chip projection, filled with the strategic depth of a politician: "Director Qin, the emergence of such advanced chip technology will inevitably shake the global tech landscape—and provoke vigilance, even suppression, from certain nations. We must prepare a strategic layout in advance. I recommend, concurrent with the establishment of 'Galaxy Technology,' initiating deep communication with relevant domestic ministries and industry associations to secure inclusion in the national core information technology development support list. Internationally, we should first establish preliminary partnerships with friendly nations or large tech enterprises sharing common interests, projecting goodwill and diffusing potential pressure."

Her reasoning was clear, targeting the far more complex political-commercial environment beyond mere technology commercialization.

"Essential." Qin Feng gave Tang Rou an approving glance. "Tang Rou, you lead government relations and international cooperation groundwork. Remember—we must seize the initiative."

"I will not fail your trust." Tang Rou smiled, her expression brimming with confidence and poise.

"The security of the technology itself, and confidentiality during R&D, is paramount." Lin Xuan, responsible for security and intelligence, spoke suddenly, her voice metallic and sharp. "I will immediately construct a comprehensive security system for 'Galaxy Technology'—from physical protection to cybersecurity, personnel background checks to core data encryption. All personnel involved in core R&D will be placed under a Level Three monitoring system. Any suspicious infiltration or espionage will be eradicated at the incipient stage."

Her words carried a chilling, ruthless edge, as if the room's temperature had dropped several degrees—yet they also brought unparalleled reassurance.

"Excellent." Qin Feng was highly satisfied with Lin Xuan's efficiency and decisiveness. "The security line is yours. I will not tolerate any lapse."

"I will complete the mission at all costs." Lin Xuan's reply was brief and forceful.

Finally, Qin Feng's gaze settled on Gu Qingcheng, whose aura was ethereal. "Qingcheng, the knowledge within the 'Source Technology Imprint' regarding microscopic energy manipulation and matter structure reshaping may offer new insights into the chip's foundational materials and next-generation quantum tunneling processes. Assist Lin Wei in assembling the R&D team—pay attention to scholars with unique expertise in interdisciplinary fields, especially those with unconventional insights into frontier physics and materials science, even if their theories currently seem… non-mainstream."

Gu Qingcheng's eyes shimmered with wisdom. She bowed slightly. "Understood, Mr. Qin. I will search ancient texts and records of lost technologies, as well as modern non-consensus frontier research, for clues and talent that may resonate with chip technology."

The five secretaries, each fulfilling their roles, began rapidly weaving a vast, intricate network around the core project: 'Galaxy Chip.'

Qin Feng leaned back slightly, a calculating smile appearing on his face. A single 'Galaxy Chip' was not enough to fully carry his ambition or the mission granted by his system.

"Beyond 'Galaxy Technology,' we need a sensing limb—a pivot point capable of keenly detecting future trends and swiftly positioning ourselves." He spoke slowly. "I have decided: establish 'Qin Feng Venture Capital.'"

All eyes turned to him again.

"'Qin Feng Venture Capital' will not be limited to traditional venture capital models. It will invest in the future." Qin Feng's voice carried the power to steer trends. "Focus on cutting-edge fields capable of reshaping human civilization: artificial intelligence, biotechnology, new energy, space exploration, brain-computer interfaces. We won't just invest—we will directly intervene, incubate, and take controlling stakes, integrating them into our ecosystem."

He looked at Lin Wei and Su Wenqian. "Lin Wei, you oversee funding for 'Qin Feng Venture Capital.' Initial allocation: fifty billion U. S. dollars. Wenqian, assist Lin Wei in building the framework. I want to see it operational within the shortest possible time, scanning globally for the most promising 'seeds.'"

"Yes!" Lin Wei and Su Wenqian replied in unison.

Fifty billion U. S. dollars! With effortless ease, another behemoth capable of shaking global capital markets was announced.

Inside the study, the five secretaries' hearts surged. They clearly sensed: their master's ambitions were not small. His pace was swift, his scope vast—far beyond ordinary imagination. Dual tracks of chip hard tech and frontier venture capital were advancing together. This was not merely the construction of a commercial empire—it was laying a solid foundation for something far grander.

Galaxy Chip: Break through core technological barriers! Qin Feng Venture Capital: Layout the future industrial ecosystem!

Both arms were now in place: funding, technology, talent, government-business relations, security—all under control, even the capacity to explore the unknown.

Qin Feng rose and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing down at the bustling city below. The setting sun gilded his silhouette.

His journey had finally taken its most solid, most rapid step.

The world's balance will change because of him.
