Chapter 223: Elder Sun Fully Supports! (Part 2/2)

The person who stood up sat down again. No one spoke. Tang Feng said a few more words and then declared the meeting over.

“Director Tang, I have already contacted the CEO of the company manufacturing the atomic clocks. When do you plan to meet with them?” Zhang Liang inquired.

“The sooner, the better! Preferably now,” Tang Feng answered.

“In that case, I’ll give them a call, and then we can head over,” Zhang Liang said.

“Okay,” Tang Feng nodded in agreement.

Soon, Zhang Liang had made the arrangements, and they set off. Within half an hour, Tang Feng was standing before the other party.

“Chairman Gu, let me introduce you. This is Tang Feng, the chief designer of the Beidou Phase Two project.”

“Director Tang, this is Chairman Gu Jianguo of Huada Manufacturing Group.”

“Director Tang, it’s an honor to meet you! I’ve heard a lot about you!” Gu Jianguo extended a warm handshake.

“Chairman Gu, pleasure to meet you,” Tang Feng responded, shaking his hand.

After a brief handshake, they parted.

“Director Tang, please have a seat,” Gu Jianguo gestured for him to sit down.

Tang Feng and Zhang Liang took their seats on the sofa.

“Director Tang, Director Zhang, what would you like to drink?” Gu Jianguo asked.

“Just a glass of water for me,” Tang Feng replied.

“Water?” Gu Jianguo was visibly taken aback.

“Yes,” Tang Feng nodded, “I prefer drinking plain water.”

“It’s surprising that someone as young as you practices such restraint. I admire that,” Gu Jianguo couldn’t help but praise.

“You flatter me, Chairman Gu. It’s just a personal habit,” Tang Feng smiled.

“And you, Director Zhang?” Gu Jianguo turned to him.

“Some tea, please,” Zhang Liang requested.

Shortly after, Gu Jianguo’s secretary brought over a glass of water and a cup of tea.

“Chairman Gu, time is of the essence, so I’ll get straight to the point. I hope your company can manufacture the atomic clocks we need within half a month,” Tang Feng stated directly.

“Did I hear that right? Director Tang, you said half a month?” Gu Jianguo was clearly startled.

“Yes,” Tang Feng affirmed, “I said half a month.”

“But it’s definitely impossible for us to complete it within half a month,” Gu Jianguo frowned deeply.

“Don’t worry, Chairman Gu! I can help,” Tang Feng offered proactively.

“Director Tang, to be honest, after seeing the design drawings you provided, I think not just half a month, but even half a year or longer might not be enough to manufacture them. Many of the core technologies require our technical team to tackle them,” Gu Jianguo explained.

“You don’t need to worry about the technology! I will provide all the core technologies and gift them to you,” Tang Feng said with a smile.

“What?” Gu Jianguo was shocked again.

“You are a state-owned enterprise, and all the technologies are also the nation’s! Moreover, the atomic clocks you manufacture can only be supplied to us. Therefore, I am willing to do this,” Tang Feng elaborated.

“We could export them to earn foreign exchange,” Gu Jianguo suggested.

“No need for exports. Even if others buy the atomic clocks, they won’t be able to install them on satellites. However, if our satellites can be exported, then you will certainly make money,” Tang Feng chuckled.

“Director Tang, since you’ve put it this way, I naturally have nothing to say. As long as you truly provide all the technologies, I guarantee to complete the manufacture of the atomic clocks within half a month, with both quality and quantity assured,” Gu Jianguo made a solemn promise.

“That’s good! Could you take me on a tour of the production workshop?” Tang Feng asked.

“Of course! No problem!” Gu Jianguo agreed readily.

They then visited the production workshop, where they underwent strict scrutiny at the entrance. All personal items, including phones, had to be handed over for safekeeping before entry, even Gu Jianguo was no exception.

Once cleared, they entered the workshop where workers were busily engaged. Tang Feng observed carefully and pointed out a potential issue with a component one worker was making, suggesting an improvement. This sparked a detailed discussion on technical precision and practice, with Tang Feng offering guidance and promising to provide all necessary technical materials for manufacturing the atomic clocks.

By the end of their meeting, Tang Feng handed over a file containing all the technical materials needed for the atomic clocks to Gu Jianguo, emphasizing the importance of these documents and the potential for patent applications. Gu Jianguo, energized by the promise of such valuable technology, committed to training his staff to master these techniques as quickly as possible to ensure the atomic clocks could be produced within the ambitious deadline.

As Tang Feng and Zhang Liang left, Gu Jianguo immediately set to work organizing training for his team, determined to meet the challenge head-on and contribute to the success of the Beidou Phase Two project.
