High School Belle Fell in Love with Me

Chapter 608: Chapter 263: Urging the Annual Report

"Master Li, are you leaving tomorrow?"

"Yeah, it’s the first day of school. I always have to show up. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be back in two weeks at most."

"How about... I go too?"

"What about the kid?"

"We’ve got four elders. They won’t let the child go hungry, will they? As for feeding... let Ning help a bit..."

After all, Jiang Banxia thought her own supply wasn’t enough.

It wasn’t really a matter of supply, but she kept getting sneakily eaten.

Li Yang thought it over and said, "How about this, you stay home for two weeks. At least nurse the baby for a hundred days? Then I’ll try to finish up with my thesis and come back to get you to the Capital City."

Li Yang couldn’t bear it. Poor Li Lingyou, having such young parents already made him quite unlucky.

If his meals got disrupted so early, it could affect his growth.

The time they spent taking care of the child was scarce; when kids are fussy and drain your energy? They hadn’t really experienced that.

"Alright, alright..."

Li Yang’s words triggered Jiang Banxia’s maternal instincts, and she felt that leaving just like that wasn’t fair to the child.

She didn’t want the whole family to accompany them to the Capital City, especially since she had a younger brother to take care of at home.

The next day, Li Yang left in a brand new Shaking Light.

The previous car, being purely electric, couldn’t cover such a long distance, and recharging was inconvenient.

Shaking Light had extended range and no concerns about battery life, making for a much smoother drive.

The more one drives, the lower one’s threshold for driving enjoyment becomes; one simply chooses the easiest way to drive.

Unlike those with less driving experience, who opt for complexity, getting exhausted while also causing more wear on the car.

Like him now, he hardly moves much...

Even for a long trip of a thousand kilometers, he can handle it with ease.

Upon arriving at the Capital City, the first thing was to check in at school, staying a few days in the dorm to rekindle some faint friendships.

He Lewei and the others were carefree in the first and second years, but the closer they got to graduation, the more anxious they became.

After graduation, they would face their lives, like young birds leaving the nest for their first flight, unsure of what challenges lay ahead.

There’s only a bit of time left to prepare well.

Li Yang felt no pressure.

It was mainly luck for their class; although the thesis requirements were strict, at least they weren’t nitpicky. As long as there was substance, they would pass with relative ease.

Students graduating next year would face tougher times.

The renowned First Year of Tianlin even impacted prestigious schools like Jing University.

Three days later, Li Yang organized a gathering in the Capital City, inviting five young people from the semiconductor industry, the oldest being in their thirties.

The semiconductor industry often seems high-barrier to outsiders, but it really isn’t.

Semiconductors now permeate every aspect of life, with a large pool of domestic talent in relevant fields, yet the demand remains high.

Domestic semiconductor companies, high-end or low-end, won’t starve.

The country supports semiconductors with various policies, allowing smaller companies to thrive even more.

Only a few large companies might fall short post-project, leading to losses.

After all, large companies face top global competitors, so it’s normal for results to be hard to achieve.

This time, Li Yang wanted to integrate a few small companies to design a chip for Extreme Shadow Cars.

Car chips don’t have the high requirements of phone chips; even 14-nanometer phone chips now feel outdated. To be high-end, you need at least 7-nanometer.

But in car chips, 28-nanometer is top-tier.

Many joint-venture cars offer nothing but a few diodes, often lacking even a screen, offering just a radio for basic entertainment...

They even charge you three grand for a sluggish car system, and the actual cost is under two hundred.

Even at the same process node, designing car chips is much simpler than phone chips, yet demand for car chips remains high.

It’s a blue ocean market.

Li Yang didn’t want to use MediaTek anymore, having had no choices before.

Now there’s a choice; SMIC recently mastered 14-nanometer production tech, more than enough for car chips.

The missing link was design.

Conveniently, small companies excel in chip design since they can’t handle fabrication.

Fabrication is much harder than design, impossible for small companies.

After a meal, Li Yang treated them to a foot massage, and the next day a new company was born.

It’s called Infinite Semiconductor.

The name had to be bold; that’s standard practice.

Li Yang held a 14% stake, while others invested with their own companies, transitioning from small workshops toward large enterprises.

Li Yang personally invested two hundred million as initial project development, with plans for future financing if needed, and he wouldn’t take too much at first.

Similar to Mouyu, though Li Yang didn’t initially own much, after several financing rounds, his share grew significantly.

In mid-March, Li Yang met a forty-something middle-aged man in the Capital City, who ran a small medical devices workshop, lacking funds rather than direction.

Previously unable to contact Li Yang, and having bought a Shaking Light, Li Yang became interested in this industry, so... they solidified a comprehensive cooperation plan.
