At a bit past eight in the morning, Mo Jingchun yawned as he got off the car and arrived at the technology park.
This morning, when Mo Jingchun tried to get his little one out of bed with him, he failed.
The little one clung to the bed sheets like an octopus, refusing to get up.
There was no choice, so Mo Jingchun had to come by himself.
Even before getting out of the car, Mo Jingchun saw Old Yu, Xu Pengfei, and Xia Xiaomin standing together, pointing out directions.
Every now and then, Old Yu stepped forward to lend a hand to the workers.
The smile on his face was so wide that his eyes were squinted, showing just how joyful Old Yu was feeling at the moment.
Xiaofeixia parked the car steadily in front of Old Yu, blocking his sight.
Mo Jingchun patted the seat and yawned, lazily saying:
"Old Yu, youâre really early."
"Look at those dark circles, they make you look even older."
Old Yu smiled, narrowed his eyes, and playfully punched Mo Jingchun on the chest, saying, "You have no idea how anxious I am."
"Iâve waited for this for so long, of course I came early!"
Looking over at the two rows of different trucks and the employees moving things, Mo Jingchun turned his head and said:
"Itâll take a while to move everything. Letâs go have breakfast in the cafeteria together."
"Itâs so early, you probably havenât eaten yet, right?"
Upon hearing this, Old Yu glanced at the unfinished graphene battery and nodded, responding:
"Alright, my stomachâs been growling since around four in the morning."
"Now itâs quieted down."
In the cafeteria, although it was already past eight, there werenât many people having breakfast.
Nowadays, working folks donât usually work overtime on weekends, so they enjoy sleeping in.
Skipping one breakfast doesnât matterâjust think of it as dieting.
Drinking nourishing eight-treasure porridge, Mo Jingchun looked up at Old Yu and asked with a smile:
"Now that Iâve got the graphene battery, whenâs the mate90 going to be launched?"
"Donât forget to send me one, or else Iâll go invest in R&D and develop a brand-new phone."
Old Yuâs hands trembled as he ate his fried dough stick; if Candy Technology enters the phone business, it would be a big deal.
If it were anyone else, heâd just treat it as a joke.
But who is Mo Jingchun? Heâs the kind of guy who dares to dabble in any industry.
"Donât worry, Iâll go back today, and in a few days, Iâll send you ten by mail."
Mo Jingchun raised his eyebrow and laughed, "Thatâs wonderful."
Seeing Mo Jingchun didnât bring up developing phones anymore, Old Yu let out a sigh of relief.
No way around it; Candy Technology always produces quality goods and excels at cross-industry strikes.
Besides, Candy Technology already has a solid foundation in software and hardware, so developing a phone doesnât seem too hard.
The only difficult part might be breaking into the high-end market.
Software-wise, Candy Technologyâs got no problem.
Itâs no exaggeration to say that their software engineers can definitely develop a cellphone system.
Old Yu glanced at Mo Jingchun and asked:
"Howâs your industrial software research coming along?"
Pausing while drinking his nutritious eight-treasure porridge, Mo Jingchun froze.
Feeling a bit awkward, Mo Jingchun purposely mumbled:
"The industrial software work is massive; we canât produce a finished product in a short time."
"Hmm... I estimate around early next year, we should be able to release the first version."
Mo Jingchun nodded, "Hmm... that timing sounds about right."
In Mo Jingchunâs office, after Xia Xiaomin stamped the contract with Candy Technologyâs seal, she handed over the four copies to the boss.
After a quick look through and finding no omissions, Mo Jingchun handed one copy to Old Yu and said with a smile:
"Old Yu, when you go back, donât forget to help me promote the price of the graphene battery."
"Hahaha, donât worry! I love seeing their pained expressions."
Mo Jingchun shook his head and chuckled, "Thatâs not quite right. The graphene battery is new; itâs normal for it to be expensive. When lithium batteries for phones first came out, they were pricey too."
"Just watch, in a few years, graphene battery prices will come down."
Handing the contract to his secretary, Old Yu didnât believe a word of Mo Jingchunâs spiel.
As long as no other organization can produce a cheaper graphene battery than Candy Technology, their standing in batteries is unshakable.
Feeling pleased and knowing the drivers drove all night, Mo Jingchun suggested Old Yu leave in the afternoon for safetyâs sake.
Old Yu thought it made sense.
Having waited so long for the graphene battery, the thought of losing a whole truckload due to driver fatigue was unbearable.
By noon, Mo Jingchun had Feiyan bring Candy, who had just woken up, to the company.
The little one was still rubbing her eyes as she got off the car.
It was unclear if she hadnât slept enough or had overslept.
Her hair wasnât even combed yet.
Luckily, with Xia Xiaomin there, in the time it took for Mo Jingchun and Old Yu to chat, the little one got a pretty braid.
With a beautiful butterfly hairpin, she looked adorable.
"Brother, arenât we having lunch yet? Guoguoâs tummy is rumbling." The little one tugged on Mo Jingchunâs hand, looking all pitiful.
"Hahaha, letâs go, letâs go, weâre just waiting for you to eat."
"Brother has already booked a restaurant."
In the private room, there were two large tables full of delicious dishes.
Mo Jingchun raised his glass and laughed heartily:
"Come, today is a great day, letâs all have a toast."
Saying that, Mo Jingchun led by example and downed a glass of soda.
A gentle breeze rustled the leaves under the moonlight.
While Mo Jingchun sat on the sofa watching cartoons with the little one, his phone buzzed.
Without looking, Mo Jingchun knew it was an ad notification.
The unique notification sound was unmistakable.
The cartoon wasnât all that interesting, so out of curiosity, Mo Jingchun glanced at his phone.
"Oh? Old Yu should still be on the highway at this time, so dedicated."
"June 5th, the timingâs a bit tight, but itâs right before the exam season phone-buying frenzy."
"And then thereâs June 18th."
With the corners of his mouth slightly raised, Mo Jingchun wondered about the sales figures of the mate90 in such an environment.
Logically, with a graphene battery that charges in just ten seconds, it should be hugely appealing to young people.
However, the actual situation? Thatâs hard to say.
