Chapter 1505: Chapter 796: Going Full Throttle in Production (Seeking Subscriptions)_2

Xu Bin analyzed and said.

"Naturally. Just wait for the good news."

Ding Yue believed that it was only a matter of time before his Mist City Arts and Science University would be accredited as a Double First Class University, and it all depended on when the Department of Education would finalize this matter.

If he wanted to know the news earlier, he could later go to Director Xiao Wenxing to inquire about related news.

Even if, for various reasons, Mist City Arts and Science University did not become a Double First Class University in these two years, once Director Xiao Wenxing got promoted, he believed that Director Xiao Wenxing would certainly make an effort for Mist City Arts and Science University to be promoted to a Double First Class University.

"Wen Ruohan, did Elder Li and the others arrive safely in Yancheng?"

Afterward, Ding Yue raised his head and asked his secretary Wen Ruohan.

During the vacation, Elder Li and others had visited Mist City Arts and Science University to see the 5-nanometer process photolithography machine manufactured by the university. They stayed in Mist City Arts and Science University for a few days and only took a flight back to Xia Science Institution in Yancheng yesterday.

"Yes, Elder Li and the others have all arrived safely in Yancheng," Wen Ruohan answered.

"That’s good."

Only then did Ding Yue feel relieved.

He was waiting for Miss An Yujia to come over and report on the final outcome of the negotiations with Guoxing Technology Group.

During the vacation, Ding Yue delegated the specifics of the negotiation to An Yujia to interface with Mr. Wang Liwu. Over the past few days, he had taken a good rest. Now that the vacation was over, it was time to "go to work."

Being a good principal was Ding Yue’s biggest job at present.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Indeed, just as Ding Yue was considering the negotiations between An Yujia and Wang Liwu, there came a knock at the door of the office, accompanied by the voice of Miss An: "Principal Ding."

"Come in."

Hearing it was Miss An Yujia’s voice, Ding Yue immediately invited her in.

"Principal Ding, Mr. Wang from Guoxing Technology Group has left."

An Yujia entered and then announced.

An Yujia was one of those career-driven women who handled matters and spoke in a crisp and efficient manner.

"Alright, how did the final talks go? When will the contract be signed?" Ding Yue nodded slightly and then looked at An Yujia to ask.

Ding Yue estimated that the outcome should be similar to what he had discussed with Mr. Wang Liwu. Even if Mr. Wang wanted to fight for more benefits for Guoxing Technology Group, it was probably quite difficult now.

"Principal Ding, it’s already been signed. Here’s the contract for you to look at."

An Yujia approached, stood in front of Principal Ding’s desk, and directly handed the contract to him.

Well, that’s efficient!

This actually came as a bit of a surprise to Ding Yue.

Because, in Ding Yue’s estimation, Guoxing Technology Group would definitely take a long time to consider this contract. With the addition of the procedural formalities, he thought it would take at least two or three months to finalize.

"That fast?"

Ding Yue expressed his astonishment and then took the contract An Yujia handed over, prepared to have a look.

However, after An Yujia handed over the contract to Principal Ding, she quickly continued to report: "After that, Mr. Wang and the board of directors of Guoxing Technology Group discussed for another two or three days and then reached out to me to continue discussing this matter."

"And what was the final outcome?"

Ding Yue looked up and asked.

"Ultimately, we insisted on selling 50 photolithography machines per year to Guoxing Technology Group, and they have accepted the offer. The contract has been signed. Starting next year, we will provide them with 50 units of 5-nanometer process technology photolithography machines every year."

An Yujia answered.

"Hmm, good. Next year, can we get the production of photolithography machines up and running?" Ding Yue asked again.

This matter was naturally An Yujia’s responsibility.

The production of photolithography machines requires a large number of cutting-edge equipment and a large number of technical personnel. Tong Yihang and Luo Peng belong to the R&D team. Using them in the production of photolithography machines would be an underutilization of their talents.

This would definitely not be cost-effective!

Therefore, as before, it is necessary for Tong Yihang and Luo Peng to train a group of production and manufacturing technicians for photolithography machines first. Afterwards, they can continue to participate in the further R&D of photolithography machines.

"Well, funding is definitely not an issue, the key is the technical aspect. In the early stage of producing photolithography machines, Tong Yihang and Luo Peng’s involvement is indispensable. But, Principal Ding, do you plan to let them continue to work on the R&D of photolithography machine projects?"

After thinking for a moment, An Yujia asked.

"Exactly, we will still pursue the 3-nanometer process technology photolithography machines later. But before that, we need to ramp up production and get the 5-nanometer process technology photolithography machines up and running,"

Ding Yue pondered and nodded in agreement.

"Then, how about we let students Tong Yihang and teacher Luo Peng provide training at the company for a while? Once we have trained the technicians for producing and manufacturing the photolithography machines, then they can do the research. How does that sound?"

An Yujia suggested.

Because An Yujia knew that this was the best choice, otherwise the production of photolithography machines would be very slow. At that rate, not to mention producing a hundred units a year, even the fifty units contracted with Guoxing Technology Group might not be deliverable.

"Hahaha, that’s exactly what I was thinking."

Ding Yue nodded his head and then turned to his secretary Wen Ruohan and said, "Xiao Wen, please let teacher Luo Peng and student Tong Yihang know they need to come over."

"Okay, Principal Ding."

Upon receiving Principal Ding’s instruction, Wen Ruohan immediately took out her phone to contact student Tong Yihang and teacher Luo Peng.

"Yue, the production and manufacturing of photolithography machines are very complex and the technical requirements are high. But rest assured, our computer team will definitely be able to provide technical support, whether it’s for training or going directly to the front lines,"

At this moment, Xu Bin confidently said from the side.

"Hahaha, we really rely on Director Xu."

After hearing this, Ding Yue laughed and said.

Soon after, Wen Ruohan notified teacher Luo Peng and student Tong Yihang, and several of them arrived.

About seven or eight people, all top elites in precision machinery processing.

"Principal Ding."

Seeing Principal Ding, everyone greeted him.

They knew that if Principal Ding was asking to see them, there must be some task to be assigned.

During the holiday celebration banquet, everyone won generous prizes from the lucky draw. Moreover, the bonus for Principal Ding’s 10 billion photolithography machine project team, which was awarded to core members such as Tong Yihang, Liu Tiefei, and Luo Peng, was more than they had ever anticipated.

It was unprecedented for scientific researchers to receive such a large bonus!

"Well, come and have a seat,"

Ding Yue said to them with a smile.

These people are the treasured assets of Mist City Arts and Science University. The future, whether it’s about creating the virtual Metaverse or exploring the vast cosmos, which of these could be achieved without the vital component of chips?

"I’ve called you over today mainly because Miss An has negotiated a cooperation on photolithography machines with Guoxing Technology Group," Ding Yue stated openly to everybody: "You all know that after the technology for photolithography machines is developed, we will start production and move onto the industry chain of chip manufacturing. However, producing photolithography machines is not so simple, and at the beginning, we will still need your help."

Principal Ding’s words were very clear to people like Tong Yihang and Luo Peng.

"Principal Ding, the production and manufacturing of photolithography machines, although simpler than research and development, are still highly challenging," teacher Luo Peng nodded and said, "It’s going to take some effort."
