Chapter 530: Reunion

Sun Cheng did not have to wait long; about seven or eight minutes later, a black Beidu sedan pulled into a parking space on the side of the street by Meiwei Xuan.

At the same time, a sturdy, tall, and strong young man stepped out of the car. He walked into the Canting, ignoring the waiter's "Welcome" greeting at the entrance. After scanning the small Canting, he quickly locked onto Sun Cheng's position and walked over briskly.

"Mr. Sun Cheng, Director Wang Yuan sent me to pick you up."

Sun Cheng wiped the corners of his mouth with a wet tissue and nodded.

This was the first time he had seen this man, who appeared to be a few years older than him.

However, judging by his physique and the aura he exuded, he was very likely from the National Security Bureau or even the military.

In this kind of small Canting, one pays before eating, so the two left the Canting one after the other.

He glanced with some surprise at the Beidu car parked on the side of the road, which looked somewhat dated; Ye Qi's family also had a domestic car of this brand.

Honestly, he hadn't seen a Beidu car on the road for a long time. After all, it was a car produced by an old state-owned enterprise, and its design concept was relatively conservative, catering more to the aesthetics of middle-aged and elderly people in the country over forty or fifty.

The young man, who had not introduced himself, took two quick steps to the front of the car and opened the back door for him.

Sun Cheng said thank you, and as he bent down, he saw a middle-aged man with a receding hairline sitting inside. He was no stranger to this person; it was Director Wang Yuan of the National Control Bureau, whom he had met not long ago.

"President Sun, did I disturb you?"

Wang Yuan spoke with a chuckle, sounding a bit more cordial than when they first met.

Sun Cheng sat down next to him and nodded as a greeting: "After I received the notification that the items had arrived, I rushed over to Shencheng. Director Wang, have you finished the inspection on your end?"

Wang Yuan chuckled, though it was unclear how much of it he believed.

"Everything is arranged at the port. I am heading there now. Calculating the time, the experts from the Precision Instrument Manufacturing Company should have arrived as well!"

The Precision Instrument Manufacturing Company is also a state-owned enterprise of Xia Country, responsible for the production of a series of cutting-edge precision instruments such as lithography machines and etching machines.

Although this enterprise loses money every year and requires funding and support from the government and the National Control Bureau annually, its name has never appeared on any "Fortune Global 500" list.

However, many European and American countries look solemn whenever it is mentioned.

The United States government has even listed it seven times on its list of sanctioned Xia Country enterprises, strictly forbidding signatories of the Bawa Agreement from exporting even a shred of raw materials to it.

From this, one can see the wariness toward this money-losing state-owned enterprise, the Precision Instrument Manufacturing Company!

And in fact, it absolutely deserves this honor.

The Precision Instrument Manufacturing Company was founded in the early 1970s. To date, it has successfully localized more than 180 types of cutting-edge instruments and equipment that Western countries pride themselves on, and in some cases, even surpassed the original.

The most representative of these are the megawatt-class laser instruments and etching machines, for which the Precision Instrument Manufacturing Company has achieved overtaking and become the No. 1 in the field.

Sun Cheng majored in Micro-electronics in college. For many graduates of Micro-electronics at Nanjing University of Technology, their first choice after graduation is not the China Microelectronics Manufacturing Company, but the Precision Instrument Manufacturing Company; for a time, he had the same idea.

Because of this, upon hearing that experts from the Precision Instrument Manufacturing Company were coming, Sun Cheng's expression became more serious.

He nodded: "As it should be, let's go now!"

After a few simple pleasantries, the car started up again and headed toward the port.

More than forty minutes later, the car slowly drove into a Warehouse at the port.

By the time Sun Cheng and the others arrived, a team of people dressed in customs anti-smuggling police uniforms had already cordoned off the area.

Seeing a car driving over, two anti-smuggling police officers immediately stopped the vehicle.

The driver opened the window and showed a document with something written on it; the two anti-smuggling police officers immediately saluted and then stepped aside.

The car drove directly into the Warehouse before stopping. After the car was steady, Wang Yuan smiled and said to Sun Cheng: "We are here, President Sun, let's get out!"

"Mm!"

Sun Cheng opened the door directly. As soon as he stepped out, he saw two machines he was very familiar with, which had already been delivered to this sealed-off Warehouse.

Over a dozen men and women in plain clothes, white lab coats, and casual suits were surrounding one of the machines, checking it incessantly.

As for their inspection results, Sun Cheng was already very clear.

He composed his expression and stood quietly near the car.

After getting out of the car, Wang Yuan gestured for him to wait a moment, then walked quickly toward the two 14nm Lithography Machines that had been transported there at some point.

After whispering for a while with the dozen experts who were surrounding the lithography machine and using various equipment to test one of the machines, the smile on his face grew even broader.

Soon, Wang Yuan brought over a somewhat tall and thin middle-aged man and walked toward Sun Cheng.

"President Sun, sorry to keep you waiting. Let me introduce you first. This is the General Manager of the Precision Instrument Manufacturing Company—He Qing. He is actually an alumnus of your Nanjing University of Technology. You can have more contact in the future."

"Manager He, this young talent is the President of the Cybertron Technology Group—Sun Cheng, a brilliant talent who just graduated from Nanjing University of Technology this year. The two advanced lithography machines you are inspecting were obtained through President Sun's connections."

Upon hearing this, He Qing looked at Sun Cheng with some surprise. He had been called over suddenly and had only heard some rumors before, but because the information was vague, he didn't know much.

Being the General Manager of a key state-owned enterprise, although he had many questions in his heart at this moment, he controlled them well and smiled as he took the initiative to reach out his hand, "So it's a junior alumnus. Hello, junior, I am a 1994 graduate of the Mechanical Automation major at Nanjing University of Technology."

Sun Cheng was also somewhat surprised to find that he really was an alumnus from Nanjing University of Technology.

But thinking back to himself a few years ago, he was no longer surprised.

As the country's premier institution of higher learning in science and engineering, many graduates of Nanjing University of Technology have entered state-owned enterprises, research institutes, and laboratories, and countless have made a name for themselves.

Squeezing out a smile, Sun Cheng shook his hand and showed his goodwill, "Hello, senior, I am a fresh graduate of the Micro-electronics major."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Wang Yuan, who had been standing by without interrupting their conversation for a long time, finally spoke up to cut off the meaningless small talk.

"Manager He, have you finished checking the lithography machines... These two treasures were only obtained thanks to President Sun."

Once these words were spoken, He Qing, who had lost his original aloof demeanor after the brief exchange, opened up like a chatterbox, beaming with excitement.
