Super Copy of Great Power Technology

"The update and iteration of electronic products is like this. Once a newer and better product is born, the previous generation of products, no matter how advanced and widely used, will soon be eliminated. Just like smartphones replacing feature phones, this is the general trend of the times. Even feature phone giants like Nokia and Motorola will soon be eliminated if they cannot keep up with the development. Silicon-based chips are still okay, at least there is still a low-end market that can survive for a long time, so those wafer fabs will have time to upgrade to new equipment."

After Rockchip Foundry has mastered the graphene chip production technology, it will definitely only produce graphene chips for internal companies in the group in the first year to make early arrangements and seize the initiative. One year later, it will consider opening up to domestic mobile phone companies and chip design companies, allowing the domestic chip industry to develop rapidly and catch up with the UK and the US. As for selling graphene chip production equipment to foreign countries, that will be at least three to five years later. By that time, foreign graphene chip technology will have been developed to a similar level, so it is just right to use mature equipment to seize the market and strangle competitors in the cradle.

"It's true when you think about it. Smartphones have only been around for a few years, but now almost everyone has one. It's rare to see feature phones on the street. I think the fourth-generation Reda and second-generation Xingyao phones equipped with graphene chips will definitely cause a sensation and trigger a buying frenzy once they are launched next year. A new round of technological change is about to begin."

The family of four talked for a while about the upgrade of the Reda series of mobile phones. Then Qiao Reda led the topic and asked about the recovery of the grandmother.

"Mom, how is grandma's recovery? Has she had a follow-up visit recently?"

"Your grandma is fine now. Apart from taking medicine every day, she is no different from a healthy person. She went to the hospital for a check-up last week, and ordinary instruments could no longer detect the presence of cancer tumors. Only the spiral CT scan could find some traces of cancer in the stomach." Yao Miaozhi said happily.

"That's good. As long as grandma takes the medicine on time, the cancer cells can be suppressed for a long time, and she can live another six or seven years. Our group has established a pharmaceutical company that specializes in cancer targeted drugs and directed cloning organ culture technology. Once these two technologies make a breakthrough, it won't be too difficult to completely cure grandma's cancer."

The family of four chatted in the living room for more than an hour. Qiao Ruida was the first to give up, washed up, and went back to her bedroom to sleep. Qiao Ruida had driven for several hours during the day and was very tired, so she slept very soundly. The next day, Qiao Ruida rarely stayed in bed, and slept under the quilt until noon before getting up.

He went to the bathroom to wash up briefly, shaved off the blue stubble on his chin, and then went downstairs. The villa was quiet, his parents and younger sister were not at home. Qiao Ruida stopped going downstairs and could even hear the chirping of birds in the trees in the backyard.

After arriving on the first floor, he went to the kitchen as if he was familiar with the place. He opened the lid of the electric steamer and a puff of hot steam came out. In the electric rice cooker, there were two dishes, a soup, and four fried dough sticks. This was the breakfast his mother left for him. I still remember that when he was in high school, Qiao Ruida would stay in bed every weekend when he didn't have to go to school. His parents prepared breakfast and didn't want to disturb their son's rest, so they separated some of the food and put it in the rice cooker or electric steamer to keep it warm, so that Qiao Ruida could eat hot food after getting up. Over time, leaving food for his son who stayed in bed on weekends became a routine.

After that, Qiao Ruida entered the third year of high school. She was very busy with her studies. Even on weekends, she had to go to school for extra classes. She had no chance to stay in bed. After Qiao Ruida entered college, she was busy running between school and company. She was so busy that she had no time to rest. Staying in bed became a luxury. The things that left food for the weekend mornings gradually became beautiful memories. I didn't expect that today, I occasionally slept in and relived the beautiful memories of high school again.

After breakfast, Qiao Ruida drove to his uncle's home in Yaojiazhai to visit his grandma and grandpa. Today, his grandma has a ruddy complexion and steady steps. Except for her thin figure, she is no different from an ordinary old person. It is hard to imagine that four months ago, she was a patient with advanced gastric cancer, seriously ill and dying. This may be the miracle brought by future medical technology.

"Xiao Da, you said you would come, so just come. Why bring these gifts? We have everything we need at home."

"Grandpa, these are local specialties that I bought when I was traveling in the grasslands of Meng Province. I brought some over for you to try."

"Take them all. Even if we don't eat them, they're good for coaxing the children."

"Grandma, how are you now? Do you still have stomach pain?" Qiao Ruida asked, holding grandma's hand. Qiao Ruida was not an old Chinese doctor, and he could not feel the pulse or diagnose by observation. He had no way to judge grandma's physical condition, so he could only ask the patient about her personal feelings.

"I feel better than ever, and my physical condition has even returned to the health it was a few years ago. Now when I get up every morning, I go out for a walk with your grandpa, and I don't feel any effort when I cook or do housework. My stomach doesn't hurt anymore, and eating and drinking are not affected at all."

Grandma is a typical rural elderly. Hardworking is engraved in their bones. As soon as she recovered, she started cooking and doing housework. She didn't want to be idle for a moment. Qiao Ruida didn't know what to say. As long as the old lady was happy and her body could bear it, she would let her do whatever she wanted.

Qiao Ruida chatted with the two old people for a while. As it was getting close to noon, grandma got up and went into the kitchen to prepare lunch. Qiao Ruida also went into the kitchen to help pick and wash vegetables and chop chicken.

It was noon soon. My uncle and aunt finished their farm work and returned home. They were very happy to see their nephew Qiao Ruida. They held Qiao Ruida's hand and talked endlessly. The meal was served soon. Qiao Ruida accompanied his grandma, grandpa, and uncle's family to have a hearty lunch.

Seeing that grandma was recovering well, Qiao Ruida was relieved. After lunch, he said goodbye. His uncle took out a lot of agricultural products from the storage room and stuffed them into the trunk of Ruida's SUV, and then let Qiao Ruida leave.

In the next few days, Qiao Ruida stayed at home, chatting with her parents and playing with her little sister. She seemed to have returned to her carefree childhood. Every morning, she could sleep in, which was indescribably comfortable. At about nine o'clock in the morning, Qiao Ruida was curled up in bed when the phone on the bedside suddenly rang.

"The end of the world is wind and sand, the story of the mortal world is called worry, and the sword is hidden under the east fence of an ordinary family..."

Qiao Ruida was awakened by the ringing sound. Without even opening his eyes, he stretched out a hand and hung up the phone by inertia. Who would have thought that after just a few seconds, the ringing sounded again. This time, Qiao Ruida finally opened his eyes and glanced at the caller ID. He found that the call was from Shao Heping, the director of Ruida Automobile Factory. Shao Heping is a person with strong executive ability. Since he became the director, he has managed such a large automobile factory with tens of thousands of people in an orderly manner, but he rarely takes the initiative to call Qiao Ruida. This time, no one knows why Shao Heping called.

Qiao Ruida sat up, slid his finger, and answered the phone, "Director Shao, what's the matter with you calling me so early in the morning?" "It's almost ten o'clock now, how can you say it's early?" Shao Heping muttered softly, and quickly changed his words, saying, "Director Qiao, it's like this, just now I received a buyer from China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation. He wants to purchase a large number of graphene batteries from us for use in submarines. Our Ruida Automobile Factory and the Battery Factory are just a cooperative relationship, and it's not easy for me to make a decision on their behalf, so I called you for instructions."

"It's a good idea to purchase graphene batteries and install them on submarines, as they can provide both endurance and quietness. Such submarines are real ocean black holes. Once they dive, they will be hard to find. Things like this that help the country enhance its military strength can be agreed to. After all, there is a country before there is a home. Only when the country is strong can we have enough confidence to do business abroad."

"Mr. Qiao, I understand what you said. If they just ordered ordinary graphene batteries, I would sell them to them. At most, I would produce fewer high-end cars. But CSIC needs to customize the shape of the graphene battery, and has higher requirements for safety. I'm afraid that the graphene batteries currently produced by battery factories for use in cars will not meet their requirements."

"Oh, the battery needs to be specially customized and the safety also needs to be improved, which is even more interesting. Let me put it this way, it's too troublesome to describe it over the phone, so I'd better go to the car factory and communicate with the salesperson in person." Qiao Ruida said after a moment of hesitation.

"That's fine, Mr. Qiao. When can you arrive? I can tell the buyer."

"I need to wash up and eat something. I just got up and I look terrible. I can't go out without cleaning up. Please wait for me for half an hour. I will definitely arrive at the Ruida Automobile Factory in half an hour."

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Ruida immediately got up from the bed, dressed, washed, and ate, which took a total of ten minutes. After breakfast, Qiao Ruida threw the dishes into the dishwasher, and hurriedly drove out of the villa and headed straight for the Ruida Automobile Factory. It was a little after nine in the morning, the morning rush hour had passed, and the lunch rush hour had not yet arrived, so there were not many vehicles on the road. Qiao Ruida only took more than ten minutes to drive the car to the entrance of the Ruida Automobile Factory.

"Mr. Qiao, you are here. Please come in!" The guard on duty at the gate recognized the big boss Qiao Ruida and immediately raised the horizontal bar to let him in.

"Well, thank you for your hard work!" Qiao Ruida threw a box of Yuxi cigarettes over, then started the car and continued to drive towards the office building. Perhaps he had received a notice from the guard, Qiao Ruida had just arrived at the office building, opened the door and got out of the car, and saw Shao Heping and a strange man walking out of the office building.

"Mr. Qiao, you are finally here. Come, let me introduce you. This is Xu Mao, a buyer from China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation. Xiao Xu, this is the founder of our Ruida Group, the richest man in the country, Qiao Ruida."

Qiao Ruida stretched out his hand, shook hands with Xu Mao, and said, "Hello, Purchaser Xu, welcome to Ruida Automobile Company!"

"Hello, Mr. Qiao. I've heard that you are young and promising, and your looks are amazing. I see today that you are even more handsome than the rumors said."

The two met for the first time and they started by complimenting each other and quickly became familiar with each other.

"The sun is really strong today. I've only been standing here for a few minutes and I'm sweating. Let's go back to the reception room and talk."

"Okay, let's go." The three of them entered the office building and came to the reception room on the first floor. After the host and the guest sat down, a waiter brought tea and the three of them chatted while drinking.

"Brother Xu, I heard that you, CSIC, want to customize a batch of graphene batteries, with unique requirements in terms of shape and safety. Can you tell me more about it?"

Xu Mao took out a few drawings from his briefcase and said, "All the graphene battery models we want to customize are here. As for safety, they just need to be fireproof and high temperature resistant."

Qiao Ruida took the drawings and glanced through the contents. He found that these drawings described a total of three battery models, which were completely different in size, shape, and function.

"Our group's battery factory can produce these three types of batteries, but these battery products have strange shapes and need to be molded separately, so the price may be higher. May I ask what kind of submarines these batteries will be installed on? Can you tell me?"

"Of course, we plan to install these graphene batteries on a conventional-powered submarine that is undergoing equipment installation, replacing the original lead-acid batteries. According to our calculations, just by replacing the batteries, the submarine's self-sustaining time can be increased by more than five times. Moreover, the discharge capacity of the graphene battery is much stronger than the original lead-acid battery. After the replacement, it can drive a larger engine and further increase the submarine's diving speed." Xu Mao did not keep the suspense, but gave the answer directly.

"So that's how it is. The graphene battery thing is easy. It just takes time to remake a few molds. After the molds are ready, we can start all the battery production lines. After one or two days of production, we will be able to complete your order. As for the price of the battery, I can also give you a 30% discount on the original shipping price."

"Really? That's great! Before we set off on this trip, our leader was worried about the high cost of purchasing graphene batteries. Now with the 30% discount offered by President Qiao, I will explain it to him when I return."

Qiao Ruida found a lawyer and drafted a graphene battery purchase contract. Then the representatives of both parties signed their names and the contract officially came into effect. (End of this chapter)
