The Strongest Tycoon

However, Zhou Caichen was not happy. She said to Lin Fan, "No, the standard must not be lowered!"    

    

Lin Fan looked at Senior Sister and shrugged. "But we can't buy it?"    

    

"I can go to the manufacturer to take a look. If the conditions are okay, I can help them upgrade the equipment and make a standard chip." It was rare for Zhou Caichen to say so much all of a sudden.    

    

Lin Fan was stunned. "You can upgrade the equipment to manufacture the chip?"    

    

Zhou Caichen nodded and said, yes." It was not difficult, but it would take some time. "    

    

Lin Fan smiled bitterly and said, "That's why you called me over. Is this what we really need to discuss?"    

    

"Yes." Zhou Caichen returned to normal.    

    

Because the phone had not been hung up, Gai also heard it.    

    

He said to Lin Fan, "About this matter, I think it's better to take it slow. We are very busy right now. You, as the main technical force, went to other people's houses to upgrade their equipment. [Isn't this putting the cart before the horse? Besides, what are the benefits of upgrading the equipment?] It's hard to say whether the other party will accept your request."    

    

Gai still had a business mind, and he also knew the ways of the world.    

    

This matter, according to Zhou Caichen's thinking, was indeed too ideal.    

    

She wanted to provide her own technology without any problem, but once the upgrade was successful, the benefits would be astronomical.    

    

So, how would the benefits be split? She couldn't possibly give people the upgrade for free just to buy the chip she requested, right?    

    

Also, no one would believe that someone would suddenly run into a company and say that they wanted to upgrade their equipment.    

    

No matter how generous the director of a company was, it was impossible for an outsider who did not know about his company to mess with the expensive production equipment of his company.    

    

Currently, there was only one company in the country that produced high-end precision chips. It was just a production line.    

    

It was not easy to produce this production line. Through various means, it was a second-hand product that was bought from outside at a sky-high price.    

    

Once it was broken, repairing it would be several times more expensive than buying it back. If it was broken and could not be repaired, there would be no place to change it.    

    

This was how the technology blockade in the west worked. It's not like they don't sell anything to you.    

    

It was because they gave you all sorts of difficult questions that you were able to buy something that they had long since eliminated, and then you even had to pay an unimaginable price.    

    

What made the atmosphere even more lively was that this wasn't the end yet. Datou was still at the end.    

    

The more precise the equipment, the more troublesome it was to maintain and update it.    

    

There were also a lot of parts that needed to be replaced, and this was the place where the long term fleecing in the west came from.    

    

First, the maintenance fee was a sky-high price, and then the updated parts were a sky-high price.    

    

This was also why imported cars were relatively cheap to buy an entire car. However, if one wanted to buy the original parts of the factory to assemble a new car, it would cost several times the price.    

    

All the reasons were the same.    

    

Currently, in Lin Fan's research institute, the two main technical forces were starting to become very powerful because of this matter.    

    

One insisted on using the chip that barely met the standard, while the other insisted on following the standard.    

    

Lin Fan did not want to comment on who was right and who was wrong. Anyway, both of them made sense.    

    

Gai's insistence was because he understood the current situation. In order to achieve the mass production of Bionic Human as soon as possible, he had to compromise for the time being.    

    

Zhou Caichen felt that this compromise would cause some flaws to appear in the later stages of the product. As a perfectionist, she would not allow any problems that had already been seen but not solved to appear in her research results.    

    

Lin Fan was stuck between the two of them and did not know who to agree with for a moment.    

    

In fact, from what he said just now, Lin Fan agreed with Gai.    

    

However, Zhou Caichen was serious about this matter. If she rejected it, Senior Sister, who had difficulty expressing her feelings, might feel sulky and leave quietly.    

    

It was rare for him to have such a top talent in his hands. Lin Fan did not want her to run away quietly.    

    

After thinking for a long time, he could only calm down and say, "How about this, Gai, you assemble the production line first. Senior Sister and I will make a trip to the chip manufacturer. This way, both sides will not be delayed."    

    

Gai said helplessly, "Still not delaying? What if the manufacturer agrees to upgrade? Do you think I will continue assembling or wait for Senior Sister to produce the conforming chip?"    

    

"Uh, does it take a long time to upgrade the equipment?" Lin Fan tried to ask.    

    

"Of course. Let's not talk about whether the other party will agree or not, and whether the upgrade will succeed or not, even if it's possible, wait until the upgrade is complete, then the new chip production will go offline. This is also a long period of time. The things involved are not small. " Gai said with some dissatisfaction.    

    

The upgrade of an industrial equipment was not something that could be done by playing a game and digging for resources and then pressing the upgrade button.    

    

This was a very complicated system project. Not only did it require the best technology, it also required more resource organization coordination.    

    

Therefore, Gai did not think highly of Zhou Caichen's idea at all. He thought that she was addicted to research all day and was stupid.    

    

How could an industry be upgraded just like that? If it was really that simple, what kind of technology blockade would the western side create? They would have long gone to one side to cool it down.    

    

But Zhou Caichen just did not agree to use the low-level chip, which made everyone feel awkward.    

    

Actually, Gai wanted Lin Fan to show his boss's attitude and directly veto Zhou Caichen's idea.    

    

Unfortunately, Lin Fan also had his own considerations and worries.    

    

He was afraid that doing this would make Senior Sister sad, so he could only follow her wishes first.    

    

Lin Fan said to Gai, "Just listen to me. Don't stop assembling the production line. Just continue according to your plan. After that, Senior Sister and I will go to the chip factory. If we can succeed, we can think of other ways."    

    

Since Lin Fan said so, Gai understood.    

    

This was what he should do. He then brought Zhou Caichen to the chip factory, probably to make her give up.    

    

It seemed like Lin Fan did not think that the other factory would agree to upgrade the production equipment for someone they did not know.    

    

"Alright, we'll do as you say." Gai shrugged his shoulders.    

    

He had mistaken Lin Fan's idea, but it was not much different.    

    

Lin Fan still believed that Zhou Caichen had the ability.    

    

It wasn't that they couldn't give it a try. Even if there was a time constraint, Lin Fan had already instructed Gai to proceed according to the plan.    

    

The production of the Bionic Human couldn't be delayed, because Lin Fan needed strength right now. He needed to master a stronger strength.    

    

If Zhou Caichen really upgraded the equipment for him, then he could just create a new production line.    

    

Lin Fan never thought that something that could be solved with money was a problem.    

    

After deciding on this matter in one sentence, Gai had no choice but to accept it. Money was willful.    

    

As for Zhou Caichen, she did not have any more twists and turns in her heart. She only felt that Lin Fan had agreed to her opinion and was very happy in her heart.
