Chapter 736: Chapter 426: Panic Ensues, Foreign Tech Company is in a Hurry (Seeking Subscription)_1

Half a month later.

The Xia Country Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with the National Patent Office, formally announced a significant technological breakthrough in the field of graphene by Mist City Arts and Science University.

Once this news broke, the internet was instantly shaken!

The next day, almost all news headlines were about Mist City Arts and Science University and graphene.

Furthermore, stocks of companies related to graphene and new energy soared limit up!

The phones at the headquarters of Feiyue Group, which backs Mist City Arts and Science University, were almost exploding.

"Hello, this is the Feiyue Group."

"Hello there."

"May I ask who you are?"

In the temporary office building of the Feiyue Group in the Administration Building, phones were ringing one after another, but An Yujia, the CEO of Feiyue Group, was immovable.

Because this kind of situation was completely within the expectations of An Yujia and Principal Ding.

Once the Xia Country Academy of Sciences and the National Patent Office announced the significant research achievements of Mist City Arts and Science University in the field of graphene, all those who had previously doubted Mist City Arts and Science University snapped back to reality.

The application range of graphene is very wide, let alone that Mist City Arts and Science University had previously announced that they had developed a graphene battery.

At this moment, all mobile device manufacturers and new energy car manufacturers smelled the scent of money. Everyone wanted to cooperate with Mist City Arts and Science University and Feiyue Group, as the graphene market was a huge gold mine.

However.

Ding Yue didn’t intend to cooperate directly with those manufacturers. He was not satisfied with just earning a few hundred million yuan in patent technology licensing fees.

What Ding Yue wanted to do was to make his own Feiyue Technology the first company in the country, or even the world, to mass produce graphene and manufacture graphene products.

The money that could be earned this way was much higher than the patent technology licensing fees.

However, doing so also had a disadvantage – it would take more time, and required more investment from Mist City Arts and Science University and Feiyue Group.

First there was the funding, then the technical team. Ding Xiaoyou would have to keep leading the team, and Luo Peng and Tong Yihang would also have to participate, which would inevitably slow down the progress of the lithography machine research project.

If they directly licensed their patent technology, it would save a lot of time and all they would do is to lie back and count their money.

But Ding Yue did not choose to license the patent technology directly.

The graphene mechanical exfoliation preparation machine technology of Mist City Arts and Science University he had was one of a kind, the key to the graphene market. Why would he license the patent technology?

Why not enjoy it himself?

Moreover, there was a high probability that Ding Yue could get the support of the country. After all, Vice President Zhou Sicheng of the Xia Country Academy of Sciences had told Ding Yue directly after his investigation that the country attached great importance to the technology of mass-producing graphene with the graphene mechanical exfoliation preparation machine.

Because products made from large amounts of graphene were needed everywhere, from the field of mobile devices to new energy vehicles, and even aerospace.

During this period, Ding Yue and An Yujia, the CEO of Feiyue Group, had been laying the groundwork for the establishment of a graphene production system.

Just yesterday.

The Urban Land Planning Department sent a message to Mist City Arts and Science University – the main approval for the purchase of the 1500 acres of commercial land in the south of University Town, which was applied for by the university, was basically through.

The purchase price for the land was much cheaper compared to the normal commercial land price, and the land in the old factory area in the south of University Town was not very valuable in the first place.

For instance, if real estate developers in University Town wanted to get some land, it would probably cost close to 10,000, or even more than 10,000 yuan per square meter.

This was because University Town was a popular area in Mist City and the house prices there were going towards 20,000 yuan.

However, these remote areas in the south were different, the land price was very cheap. Moreover, since there was an educational use component and it was specified that it was for the construction of a graphene production factory, the land price approved by the Mist City Government was naturally cheaper.

Because there was already news from above that the government attached great importance to the graphene-related technologies of Mist City Arts and Science University.

"Yue, I’ve prepared the list of materials for the manufacture of the graphene mechanical exfoliation preparation machine that you asked me to prepare,"

At the door of the principal’s office in the Administration Building, the voice came before the person did.

This voice was undoubtedly that of Huang Youjie, the director of logistics at Mist City Arts and Science University. A second later, Huang Youjie appeared in front of Ding Yue.

"Come, let me see."

Ding Yue waved his hand and said.

Huang Youjie stepped forward and handed a printed list of materials to Ding Yue. "The price is not cheap."

Because Mist City Arts and Science University and Feiyue Group aimed to establish their own graphene production system, it made sense that they had to manufacture enough graphene mechanical exfoliation preparation machines to start with.

The raw materials for this machine had to be purchased in bulk.

"The first batch of material purchases cost 500 million yuan?"

Ding Yue looked at the total price on the checklist; it was a bit more than 500 million yuan.

"Indeed, we’ve already secured our land, haven’t we? Director Chen Ping has already started talking with Tianfu Construction Group. They’re about to head over to start building the factory. Of course, the equipment needs to be purchased as soon as possible. We can’t waste time, can we?"

With a smile, Huang Youjie asked, "Yue, when will the money be in place?"

"It’s been more than half a month," Ding Yue frowned slightly, muttering, "I still haven’t got any specific news. The Xia Science Institution, the Education Bureau, they’re all just telling me how important this is, how important, but I’ve heard nothing about support or funding."
