The rise of nanometers

The two came to the cafeteria, grabbed some food, found a table in the corner, and chatted while eating.

Taking a sip of black coffee, Lu Xuedong asked curiously: "Xiuyuan, what are you going to do?"

"Then what suggestions do you have?" Huang Xiuyuan asked with a smile.

Lu Xuedong, who was deep in thought, had a slightly tangled expression on his face, and finally answered the question seriously: "I don't know, but I don't recommend entering semiconductors."

This sentence surprised him. After all, Lu Xuedong was deeply concerned about the development of Huaguo Semiconductor.

Lu Xuedong, with a bitter look on his face, sighed softly: "I also want to trick you into investing in semiconductors. Unfortunately, this industry is destined to be a bottomless pit, and you have to be mentally prepared to be unprofitable for 10 years and go bankrupt at any time."

Lu Xuedong, who was once full of passion, had clearly realized the gap during his time at Harvard. If Huang Xiuyuan was a big boss of a state-owned enterprise, he would definitely make ridiculous claims and lure the other party into this big pit.

But Huang Xiuyuan's little money was not enough to invest in the semiconductor industry, and he didn't want to cheat his brother.

"Semiconductors are indeed difficult to enter, but it's not impossible." Huang Xiuyuan said ambiguously.

Lu Xuedong, who was smiling bitterly, quickly persuaded him: "Don't be afraid of tigers like a newborn calf. Semiconductors are really not something that a small family can afford."

"I know, don't worry, little brother, I'm not stupid." Huang Xiuyuan actually knew what he was doing.

"Then what are you going to do?"

The problem is back to the beginning.

"My dad's old business."

Lu Xuedong, who was eating steak, almost choked. He quickly took a sip of coffee and asked in disbelief: "Recycling?"

"Don't be surprised, I'm just collecting rags, hahaha." Huang Xiuyuan smiled nonchalantly.

Lu Xuedong was silent for a moment, his face a little ugly: "But this way... you don't need to hire me."

The calm Huang Xiuyuan asked with a smile on his face: "Xuedong, do you think that collecting rags does not require skills? This is a university subject. If done well, it will be a big cake."

Lu Xuedong, who frowned, searched his mind for a moment, but still couldn't find any technology that could promote the development of the recycling industry.

"I know you are confused in your heart, but I am confident that I can do it well and I need your help."

Lu Xuedong was confused, thought for a moment and asked, "What do you need me to do?"

"I need some new materials, so I need to set up a materials laboratory. In addition, if you are good at computer programming, you can also participate in research and development." Huang Xiuyuan talked eloquently.

In Huang Xiuyuan's view, Lu Xuedong is indeed a rare talent. In addition to majoring in semiconductors and microelectronics, he is also proficient in materials science and computer software.

Even if Lu Xuedong is not engaged in the semiconductor industry, he can still do materials research and software design.

Moreover, how could Huang Xiuyuan's ambition be limited to picking up rags? Entering the semiconductor industry in the future is also an inevitable result. Now he is just preparing for a rainy day.

"No problem, I can do both material research and development and software design."

Huang Xiuyuan didn't want to discuss it in depth here, so he changed the subject: "By the way, Xuedong, when can you apply for graduation?"

"Take care of this experiment in about a week! I've got my credits and thesis, and I can graduate at any time."

Huang Xiuyuan made a decision immediately: "Let's do it on February 10th! You can handle the matters here as soon as possible, then return to China, visit your aunt by the way, and then meet up in Lingnan Shanmei on the 15th."

"no problem."

After dinner, the two of them returned to their residences.

When he returned to the dormitory, he checked the computer as if nothing had happened, and then compared the furnishings in the room. He felt relieved when he found that there was no change at all.

No matter how careful you are in a foreign country, there is nothing wrong with it. After all, the dirty things Americans have done can be described in countless words.

Continuing the work of catching broilers, another long night slipped away in the cold wind.

In the next five days, he quickly cut the mess here, received his diploma, stopped borrowing the laboratory, and destroyed the remaining brain inhibitors and all chemical reagents.

February 3rd.

He took his luggage and boarded the flight back home.

At Boston Logan International Airport, before the security check channel, he waved to Lu Xuedong, who came to see him off, and passed the security check calmly.

On the boarding bridge, he turned back silently and looked at this land. Perhaps he would never set foot here again for the rest of his life.

Since Boston’s international flights do not have direct access to Pengcheng Bao’an Airport, we can only choose the magical city of Hongqiao Airport.

Before boarding the plane, he was injected with a high-concentration brain inhibitor, which could ensure the stability of his hyperamnesia for the next 60 hours.

After getting on the plane, he closed his eyes and rested, thinking about some things in his mind.

Nineteen hours later, a Boeing passenger plane taxied steadily on the runway of Hongqiao Airport.

Huang Xiuyuan got off the plane and took a deep breath. Due to the time difference, the sky at Hongqiao Airport was in the morning time.

Checking the time, he ignored the jet lag. He grabbed his suitcase and looked at the domestic flight information in the passenger activity hall before finding the flight time he had booked in advance.

After waiting for more than an hour, Huang Xiuyuan boarded the plane again. The plane from Hongqiao Airport to Baoan Airport took off slowly on the runway.

The whole journey takes two and a half hours.

As soon as he arrived in Pengcheng, he used his domestic mobile phone card to make a call: "Uncle Xiao, Happy New Year."

"Xiaoyuan, are you back?" The voice on the other side of the phone was filled with a hint of surprise.

Huang Xiuyuan kept the story short: "I just arrived in Bao'an. What happened to the things I ordered a few days ago?"

"Don't worry, everything is here, and I even tidied up a room."

"Excuse me, I'll be home in the evening today."

"Your father has gone to Shu Province. I have the key here. Remember to come and get it."

"Okay, let's talk when we get home."

"Be careful on the road."

I hung up the phone. It was almost Chinese New Year, so I had no choice but to take the bus back.

After several hours of turbulence, he finally returned to his hometown around four o'clock in the afternoon.

The bus came off the Shenhai Expressway in Shanmei City. His home was not in the city, but in Pubian Town on the outskirts. As soon as he got off the bus, he heard a familiar voice.

"Xiaoyuan!"

A middle-aged uncle came over to him while shouting.

The man was wearing a large and old denim jacket, his skin was tanned, his dark red lips were chapped by the cold wind, and he had piercing eyes.

"Uncle Xiao, long time no see."

"Let's go home." Huang Sixiao patted his shoulder, took the suitcase, and dragged it to the tricycle not far away.

Huang Xiuyuan nodded, and the uncle and nephew talked and laughed along the way.

Huang Xiuyuan still trusted this clan uncle very much. At least when he was at the lowest point in his life, he always took care of him and maintained the normal operation of the recycling plant.

Unlike several other employees, as soon as his father left, he immediately took away several customers and took the opportunity to start his own business.

Huang Xiuyuan didn't mind getting on the tricycle that collected waste. The tricycle spewed light black smoke and headed towards the recycling plant.

His factory and house are located next to the Haishan Highway, next to the highway, with Tongding Mountain in the background. It is a large-scale recycling plant, covering an area of ​​almost 20,000 square meters.
