Chapter 177: Starting the Development of Computer Storage (Part 2/2)

“Okay,” Tang Feng nodded.

After chatting for a while, Tang Feng and Su Xiaoli went to their arranged room.

The room was a two-bedroom, one-living room, one-kitchen, and one-bathroom setup.

Although it couldn’t compare to the villa Tang Feng lived in, it was already quite nice.

Su Xiaoli didn’t idle around and started tidying up.

Tang Feng went directly to the laboratory.

The hundred doctoral students participating in this project were already waiting.

Tang Feng briefly spoke a few words.

He grouped these doctoral students according to the design and planning he had done beforehand.

Then, he assigned corresponding missions to each group.

These doctors were already eager and fully prepared.

Once Tang Feng had assigned the missions, they quickly got busy.

Tang Feng also took the time to guide them.

After all, for these doctoral students, developing the most advanced computer memory was not an easy mission.

Su Xiaoli went back to the villa to bring over some necessities.

Then, she bought a lot of groceries from the supermarket.

This way, Tang Feng could have delicious meals three times a day.

The doctoral students, seeing how loving Tang Feng and his wife were, were all incredibly envious.

Although some of them were also married with wives and children, they obviously didn’t have this kind of treatment.

The news of Tang Feng leading the team to develop computer memory day and night soon reached the ears of Li Kangda, the chairman of Seven Stars Group.

He was immediately a bit panicked.

If it was someone else leading the team to develop computer storage, he would have probably just laughed it off and not taken it seriously!

But the leader of the team was Tang Feng!

He had heard of Tang Feng’s name too many times, it could be said to be thunderous!

Just recently, Tang Feng had just led a team to create the world’s most advanced computer chip, and it was completely domestically produced!

This news was already enough to annoy him!

Who would have thought that in such a short time, Tang Feng would organize a new team to develop computer storage!

He was very clear in his mind that once Tang Feng’s team produced the world’s most advanced computer memory, it would mean that Seven Star Group’s business in this area would be severely impacted!

At this moment, he received a call from Kim Shi-hyun, the CEO of Hailishi.

“Chairman Li, I just got news that that kid named Tang Feng is organizing a team to develop computer memory again. If it succeeds, the consequences are unimaginable,” Kim Shi-hyun’s tone sounded very urgent.

After all, for Hailishi, this was a matter of life and death for the company.

“What do you plan to do?” Li Kangda asked with interest.

“I plan to lower the selling price of computer storage to cost price,” Kim Shi-hyun answered.

“Lowering it to cost price definitely won’t work. For us, it’s cost price, but for Tang Feng, there’s still a lot of profit margin,” Li Kangda said.

“The main problem is the industrial chain. Our core components are still produced domestically, and compared to China, there’s indeed a significant cost gap. If we want to compete with them, unless we move all production links to China. But by doing so, we might end up becoming a thoroughly Chinese company,” Kim Shi-hyun said this with a headache.

“But it seems this is the best method for now. We could originally rely on our technological advantage to not compress costs too harshly. After all, the salary level of our employees is much higher than that of China, almost three times higher. But I never dreamed that China’s development in computing would be so rapid. First, it was computer chips, and now it’s computer storage. I think it won’t be long before China achieves complete domestication of the entire computer industry. I really don’t want to see that day come,” Li Kangda’s words also revealed deep concern.

“What you said could very likely happen. Now, with the internet industry booming and the demand for computers increasing, it seems we need to find a way to stop this situation from happening,” Kim Shi-hyun said.

“I plan to consult with the leaders of companies related to computers in America and Japan, to see if we can unite and deal with these companies in China together,” Li Kangda shared his idea.

“That’s a good idea! If everyone can form an alliance, it’s equivalent to bringing out each other’s advantages! Although profits will be reduced a lot, at least we can survive,” Kim Shi-hyun immediately agreed.

“In that case, I’ll make calls right away to form this alliance as soon as possible! I’ll call you then,” Li Kangda said.

“I’ll wait for your good news!” Kim Shi-hyun responded.

The call ended.
