Name: My father is Zhao Dehan, and I hope he will become a dragon!

The luncheon has begun in the Songfeng Hall of the Provincial Party Committee Guesthouse.

The long table was covered with a plain white tablecloth, and the celadon tableware reflected the shimmering waves of Nanhu Lake outside the window.

Representatives from central ministries, members of the provincial party committee standing committee, and leaders of Jingzhou City sat around a table. Zhao Chongming sat at the end of the table, with his father Zhao Dehan beside him. This was the first time he had dined at the same table with the core of a province's power as an "entrepreneur" rather than as the "son of a vice governor."

To put it bluntly, Zhao Chongming and Zhao Dehan walked out at the same time.

People will most likely point to Zhao Dehan and say, "Look, that's Zhao Chongming's father."

After a few rounds of drinks, Director Zhou from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology raised his glass and laughed, "Little Zhao, I watched the entire press conference today. I just heard your introduction: the Nova K1 is not only a high-quality product, but its strategic layout is even stronger—from Dafeng Factory to Hande Era, this isn't just about making phones; it's about weaving an industrial network!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Li Dakang declared loudly, "I dare say that within five years, Nanhu will be China's 'Silicon Valley' for smart terminals!"

Liu Guoquan chuckled: "To be honest, being able to see this before retirement is enough to make me feel gratified."

Sha Ruijin set down his teacup, his gaze gentle yet profound: "Chongming, you've opened the eyes of many today. But I want to ask—can we truly achieve self-sufficiency in core technologies?"

The entire room fell silent.

Zhao Chongming stood up, respectful but not servile: "Secretary Sha, to be honest—we still rely on key technologies."

Zhao Chongming didn't hide anything, stating bluntly: "The chip design uses the ARM architecture, manufacturing is done by TSMC, memory comes from Samsung, and the baseband relies on Qualcomm. These are the facts; if the supply is cut off, my phone simply won't sell!"

He paused, his voice deepening yet resolute: "But that's precisely why I'm even more determined to do one thing—build a complete semiconductor industry chain in Handong, from chip design and IP core development to wafer manufacturing, packaging, and testing—connecting the entire chain!"

Sha Ruijin said, "It can't be that bad. Foreign investors also need to make money. Surely you can't give them money and they won't make any, right?"

"That makes sense!" Zhao Chongming smiled. "Prevention is always better than cure!"

They still harbor illusions about imperialism.

We still need Comrade Jianguo to educate us.

It wasn't long, only nine years.

In truth, we really have to thank Comrade Jian Guo.

Tell China that the old path of "market for technology" is not viable, and that relying on external sources for core technologies will inevitably lead to being "strangled".

Secondly, relying on a single export market carries extremely high risks, necessitating an accelerated diversification of market strategies.

Overall, the message was to remind the country to address its shortcomings in a relatively mild way, so that when Biden finally took action, they would realize, "Damn, we don't have many cards left to play."

Of course, Zhao Chongming also had his own plans.

He continued, "I will promote a whole set of capabilities, talent and ecosystem. Therefore, I have launched the 'Hanxin Project': jointly building an IC design college with Huazhong University of Science and Technology and Tsinghua University; introducing overseas Chinese engineering teams; building a 28nm packaging and testing line within three years, and challenging 14nm manufacturing within five years."

There was a collective gasp of amazement at the scene.

Director Zhou couldn't help but slam his hand on the table: "Excellent! This is the kind of entrepreneur our national strategy needs!"

Zhao Chongming suddenly changed the subject, his voice low but each word carrying immense weight: "So today, I want to make a statement to all the leaders—my goal is not just to build a company worth tens of billions, but to create a trillion-level technology group in Handong!"

"It doesn't rely on real estate or finance; it relies on cutting-edge technology, genuine manufacturing, and real employment!"

"Trillion?!" Li Dakang's eyes lit up. "Good lad, you've got guts!"

Liu Guoquan was also somewhat shocked: "These young people are truly formidable; they are worthy of our trust!"

Sha Ruijin stared at Zhao Chongming for a long time, then suddenly stood up and personally poured him a cup of tea: "Chongming, it's not surprising at all that you have this ambition."

His voice was as steady as a bell: "What do you need? Just say the word. Land? Policies? Talent introduction quotas? As long as it benefits the country, Handong, and the people—I, Sha Ruijin, will fully support you!"

Li Dakang immediately replied, "The Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee and Government should immediately establish the 'Hanxin Industry Promotion Office,' and I will personally take charge!"

The two central leaders also expressed their views.

……

……

At 7 p.m. that evening, CCTV's "News Broadcast" started on time.

The first twenty minutes, as usual, consist of activities of national leaders and major international news.

But in the 21st minute, the scene changed—

[Live report from Hantong TV reporter]

"This morning, my country's first fully touch-screen smart terminal, Nova K1, was officially launched in the Hanzhong Donghu Industrial Zone. The product features a completely independently developed operating system, and its core structural components were manufactured by former workers at the Dafeng Factory, marking a successful transformation of this old industrial base into high-end intelligent manufacturing..."

The camera cuts to the press conference venue:

Zhao Chongming lightly swiped the screen, and the Nova K1 interface smoothly lit up;

Zheng Xipo raised the metal frame high, and thunderous applause erupted from the audience.

Leaders including Sha Ruijin, Li Dakang, and Liu Guoquan smiled and applauded.

The scene of BOE and Hande Times signing an investment agreement flashes back quickly.

A full 62 seconds.

The article didn't mention "son of a vice governor." If every son of a vice governor could achieve this, the country would be incredibly grateful.

Of course, the leadership team of Handong Province still deserves praise.

Especially Sha Ruijin and Zhao Dehan.

Look at this! They've only been in Handong Province for a short time, less than five months at most, and they've already incubated such a company. It would be unreasonable not to praise them.

Of course, this was only mentioned briefly; the main focus of the news broadcast was on three words: self-reliance, employment, and intelligent manufacturing.

Jingzhou, Guangming District, Nanhu, Dafeng Factory Family Compound

The old fitter Wang Youfu and his family sat around the sofa, their eyes wide open.

"That...that's Old Zheng?!" He pointed at Zheng Xipo on the screen, his hand trembling. "Is what he's holding really made by our factory?"

Wang Qiang, the son, leaned closer: "Dad, look at that phone frame, it's so shiny it's like a mirror! When did your factory get this technology?"

Wang Youfu said, "Last month, Chongming Group sent technical personnel over to improve the factory's equipment. At that time, I received a salary of 3200 yuan. These things were kept secret, and I was wondering where the money came from... Turns out, it was for this!"

The daughter-in-law asked in a low voice, "How much does this phone cost?"

"2699." Wang Qiang checked the phone. "Half the price of a Nokia! Dad, should we buy one? You can video chat with your grandson!"

Wang Youfu wiped his face: "Buy! We must buy! This is the backbone of our Dafeng Factory!"

……

……

A rented room in Zhongguancun, Beijing.

The programmer stared at the screen with a disdainful look.

"Keep bragging!"

A-Jie sneered, "A domestic OS? And it's all touchscreen? It's probably just a Linux shell."

My roommate, Xiaolin, shook his head: "I'm somewhat interested. Besides, they're supporting domestic companies and letting Dafeng manufacture the mid-frames? If they can really control the yield rate, the cost advantage will be huge."

A-Jie scoffed, "Even the best-looking product is still just an assembly. What about the core technology? Do you have a lithography machine? Do you have an EDA toolchain?"

Xiaolin was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "But at least they dared to do it, actually did it, and succeeded. What about us? We criticize domestic products every day, but we don't even write a single line of driver code ourselves."

Before A-Jie could say anything more, Xiao-Lin pointed at the computer screen and exclaimed, "Look, over here in Handong, Chongming Technology is hiring us programmers, holy crap, five thousand yuan a month!"

Ah Jie was taken aback: "What, five thousand?"

Xiao Lin said, "Prices are very low in Handong, only 5,000 yuan. I'm thinking of going. A-Jie, are you coming?"

"Handong's company!" Ah Jie frowned, then said, "Handong, even dogs don't..."

"We will provide a 40-square-meter apartment with no rent for three years. For technical talents with a bachelor's degree or above, we will provide a full refund of the purchase tax plus a settlement subsidy of 50,000 yuan," Xiaolin continued.

Ah Jie immediately said, "We're going, we're going to Handong!"
