Chapter 1273: Chapter 681: It’s Time to Show the Power of Semiconductors (Please Subscribe)

At the beginning of the New Year, Ding Yue’s Mist City Arts and Science University and Feiyue Group had a great start.

The New Year’s Eve Gala at Mist City Arts and Science University received high praise and showcased strengths that attracted more prospective students to want to apply to the university this year.

For a private university, being able to recruit more students is naturally the best possible outcome.

Moreover, Ding Yue was not at all worried about Mist City Arts and Science University admitting batches of academically poor students because, in this world, the vast majority of people are not fools; as long as they study diligently, they are bound to achieve something.

Many of those who are academically poor are seen as stupid children in the eyes of others because they either do not love learning or are biased against certain subjects.

Once at Mist City Arts and Science University, Ding Yue could use various buffs from his system’s store to make students fall in love with learning.

Apart from the positive impact of the New Year’s Eve Gala, what pleased Ding Yue even more was the presale situation of Feiyue Group’s first new energy vehicle, Feiyue · Future, which exploded on New Year’s Day.

The presales had exceeded two hundred billion yuan and were still growing. Ding Yue initially estimated that they could exceed three hundred billion yuan in presales on the first day of New Year’s Day.

Every day in January, Ding Yue would check the presale situation of the Feiyue Future New Energy vehicles, and the numbers increased daily.

Faced with such a sales success, Ding Yue needed to prepare well.

After all, nearly one million Feiyue · Future New Energy vehicles had been presold, and these vehicles would eventually need to be delivered to the owners who had paid for them.

This is the nature of new energy vehicles; they can be presold.

And it was precisely this presale that gave Feiyue Group ample transition time because the new energy vehicle factories under Feiyue Group were being constructed vigorously. The production, manufacturing, and assembly could only begin in large scale after the Spring Festival.

The most crucial point was that the presale of Feiyue · Future New Energy vehicles had already exceeded eight hundred thousand units, nearly reaching one million units.

However, Ding Yue had initially prepared only 200,000 units of the vehicle-mounted intelligent control system chips for Feiyue · Future New Energy vehicles.

Currently, the photolithography machine experiment project at Mist City Arts and Science University was still in full swing, and until a technological breakthrough was achieved, Feiyue Group had no capability to produce the chips.

Therefore, the chips had to be produced by Guoxing Technology Group.

But there was a problem.

Due to the chip crisis, the production capacity of Guoxing Technology Group had reached its limit. The last time they managed to allocate 200,000 chips was after reneging on a contract with Penguin Auto Group.

Hence, solving this problem was really challenging.

But Ding Yue must find a way to resolve this issue as it wouldn’t do to sell one million Feiyue · Future New Energy vehicles and end up only being able to deliver two hundred thousand, would it?

"Principal Ding, our Feiyue · Future New Energy vehicles are nearly reaching one million units in presales, and we can make a lot of money, but why do you look so burdened?"

That day, after noticing that Principal Ding seemed preoccupied, his secretary, Wen Ruohan, could not help but ask out of curiosity.

"We’re selling a lot, but whether we can produce them in the future is an issue."

Ding Yue murmured quietly.

"Ah?"

Wen Ruohan, not very knowledgeable about these matters, looked confused.

"Right now, we only have orders for 200,000 chips at Guoxing Technology Group." Ding Yue shrugged as he spoke.

Upon hearing this, Wen Ruohan instantly understood what was going on.

200,000 chips could only produce 200,000 Feiyue · Future New Energy vehicles; the rest of the vehicles could also be built, but surely they couldn’t go without installing the vehicle-mounted intelligent control system, Big White.

Thus, solving the chip shortage problem was urgently needed!

"As we are nearing the end of another academic term."

Ding Yue sighed again, for after the term’s end, he would have more tasks to take care of at Mist City Arts and Science University.

"Yes, Principal Ding, another term is almost over." Wen Ruohan echoed.

Since early February was the Spring Festival, from January 20 onward, they would need to start arranging for the holidays in stages.

In this way, after January 10, each department and major at Mist City Arts and Science University would need to start preparing for the final exams.

After the term’s end, Ding Yue would focus on school matters, just like at the beginning of every term, which he, as a principal, had to do.

But for now, Ding Yue also had to consider the chip shortage issue.

"How is Director Qi’s health now?" Ding Yue turned his head and asked Wen Ruohan about the health status of Director Qi Chunsheng from the academic affairs office.

"Principal Ding, Director Qi has basically recovered his health after being discharged from the hospital. Now, with several assistants in the academic affairs office, Director Qi won’t be overworked."

Wen Ruohan responded.

Ever since Director Qi Chunsheng underwent organ transplant surgery the last time, underwent convalescence for a while, and then returned to Mist City Arts and Science University and continued his duty as the director of the academic affairs office.
