Brother, just how powerful is our family?

The original site of Qin Family Village has been relocated, but the Qin Family Ancestral Hall has been completely preserved and relocated to a newly planned villa area.

On New Year's Eve, the ancestral hall was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and bustling with activity.

Standing at the entrance of the ancestral hall, Qin Jianguo looked at the endless stream of relatives and friends, filled with emotion.

Just a year ago, the Qin family was just an ordinary rural family, with only a few close relatives visiting each other during the Spring Festival.

Now, not only have all the villagers come, but also relatives from the surrounding villages, Qin Feng's business partners, and even leaders from the county and city have come to pay their respects in person.

"Brother Jianguo, Happy Chinese New Year!"

"Uncle, Happy New Year!"

"Uncle Qin, you're getting healthier and healthier!"

People carried New Year's goods, their faces beaming with smiles. Qin Jianguo greeted them one by one, asking his sons to help with the reception.

Inside the ancestral hall, Qin Feng and Qin Yang were talking with several elders.

After genetic optimization, Qin Feng's temperament became more calm and reserved. Although he was wearing ordinary new clothes for the New Year, he exuded an air of authority in every gesture.

Qin Yang, on the other hand, was much more lively, serving tea and cigarettes to the elders and telling them about his experiences outside.

The liveliest spot was Qin Yao's. A group of young girls surrounded her, chattering away.

"Yaoyao, your skin is so good! What skincare products do you use?"

"Sister Yao Yao, your clothes are so pretty, are they designer brands?"

"Yaoyao, can I take a picture with you? I want to post it on my WeChat Moments!"

Qin Yao answered patiently, accepting all questions.

Although she is now a big internet celebrity with 100 million followers, in front of her fellow villagers, she is still the youngest daughter of the Qin family.

The New Year's Eve dinner was held in the square in front of the ancestral hall. Fifty tables were lined up, with chicken, duck, fish, meat, and delicacies from land and sea.

Before the banquet began, Qin Jianguo, as the head of the family, delivered a speech.

"Fellow villagers, dear friends and relatives, thank you all for gathering here today." His voice was loud and clear. "In the past year, thanks to everyone's blessings, our Qin family has achieved some success. But I want to say that these achievements do not only belong to our Qin family, but also to the entire Huai County and the entire Qin Family Village!"

There was thunderous applause.

"The chip factory will start production in the new year. Then, any young people in our village who want to come back can do so. They can work right here in their village, earning just as much as they would elsewhere, and still take care of their elderly parents and children!"

These words resonated with everyone. The audience erupted in even louder applause.

The New Year's Eve dinner lasted until late at night. Fireworks lit up the night sky, illuminating the newly built villa area and the chip factory that was already taking shape in the distance.

The factory buildings stretched for kilometers in the night, brightly lit—during the Spring Festival, some production lines were undergoing final adjustments, with workers working in three shifts to ensure timely production in March.

Following the Spring Festival, on the eighth day of the first lunar month, the chip business unit of Universal Group officially launched its recruitment drive.

The job postings were published on various platforms, with the salary and benefits package being the most eye-catching aspect:

Chip design engineer: Annual salary 80-200

Chip manufacturing technician: Annual salary 30-80

Equipment maintenance engineer: Annual salary 40-100 RMB

Quality Management Specialist: Annual salary 25-60 RMB

Administrative clerk: Monthly salary 1-3 yuan

Cleaner: Starting salary of 6000 yuan per month, five social insurances and one housing fund, all holidays off.

"Six thousand cleaners?!"

"Five social insurances and one housing fund? All holidays off?"

"In Huai County, this is practically a golden opportunity!"

The news caused a sensation throughout Henan Province.

What's even more appealing is the scope of recruitment; technical positions are open nationwide, but entry-level positions prioritize local applicants.

Positions such as cleaners, security guards, and canteen staff can be filled as long as one is in good health and of the right age.

The recruitment booth was set up at the Huai County Gymnasium. By 7 a.m. on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, a queue stretching for thousands of meters had already formed at the entrance.

There were young people, middle-aged people, and even many who had come back specifically because they worked in other places.

"I worked in an electronics factory in the south for eight years, earning only 7,000 yuan a month, and I had to work two shifts," said a man in his thirties. "Here, even cleaners earn 6,000 yuan, and it's a legitimate job. I'm definitely coming back!"

"I only graduated from a junior college, and it's hard to find a job here. An administrative clerk here earns at least 10,000 yuan a month, I have to give it a try!"

"My parents are getting old and need someone to take care of them. Finding a job like this at home is like a dream come true!"

At the recruitment event, the human resources team of Huanyu Group operated efficiently.

Interview, written test, medical examination, and contract signing – a one-stop service.

Many positions can be filled on the same day, and all procedures can be completed within three days.

In just one week, the chip industrial park recruited more than 20,000 employees.

Of these, 15,000 are locals from Huai County and surrounding counties and cities.

This means that at least 15,000 families now have a stable source of income.

At least 15,000 people who had been wandering far from home can now return.

Meanwhile, another task is also underway.

Huanyu Group dispatched dozens of business teams to various parts of the country to deliver test samples of carbon-based wafers to major manufacturers.

Huawi Company, Shenzhen Headquarters.

In the chip lab, a dozen engineers stood around a black chip the size of a fingernail, their expressions grave.

"Have the test data... been confirmed?" The chief technology officer's voice trembled slightly.

"Confirmed. 120GHz clock speed, 256 cores, supports 1024 threads. Power consumption is only 30% of a comparable silicon-based chip." The test engineer swallowed hard. "And... it's carbon-based. Completely independent intellectual property rights."

The laboratory was deathly silent.

Then, cheers erupted.

"It's done! It's done!"

"We have our own high-end chips now!"

"I don't have to put up with other people's attitudes anymore!"

The same scene is playing out at major manufacturers:

The mobile phone chip divisions of Dami, OPPO, and Vivo;

The automotive chip teams of companies like Yadea, NIO, and Lixiang;

The Home Appliance Research Institute of Geli, Meidi, and Haier;

There are also supercomputer project teams from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, and the defense industry...

Every company was amazed by the test data.

"This...this can't be a dream, can it?" BYD's CEO held the chip sample, his hands trembling.

"It's not a dream," the business representative from Huanyu Group smiled. "It's reality. And this is just the beginning. We will be launching even more advanced models in the future."

Letters of intent to cooperate poured in like snowflakes.

Huawei has taken the lead in signing a contract to purchase carbon-based chips worth 300 billion yuan for use in its entire product line, including mobile phones, base stations, and servers.

Yadea followed closely behind: 250 billion yuan was allocated to intelligent driving, battery management, and in-vehicle entertainment systems for new energy vehicles.

Rice, Opal, and Vivo signed a total contract worth 400 billion yuan.

Home appliance giants signed contracts totaling 300 billion yuan.

National-level projects in defense, aerospace, and supercomputing, totaling 500 billion yuan, have been signed.

In just one month, the total value of the intended contracts signed by the chip division of the Universal Group exceeded two trillion yuan.

And this is just the beginning.

As chip production capacity increases and more application scenarios are developed, this number will multiply.
