Chapter 7, embarking on the journey home

Huang Xiuyuan did not wish to delve deeper into the discussion here, so he changed the subject: "By the way, Xue Dong, when will you be able to apply for graduation?"

Lu Xuedong fell silent for a moment, his expression somewhat unpleasant: "But in this case... you do not need to hire me"

A middle-aged man approached him while shouting

He glanced at the time, disregarding the time difference, and, pulling his suitcase, looked at the information for domestic flights in the boarding passenger activity hall, where he found the schedule for the flight he had booked in advance

February 3

This statement indeed took him by surprise, as Lu Xuedong has always been deeply committed to the development of China's semiconductor industry

Lu Xuedong, who was busy chewing on a steak, nearly choked and quickly took a sip of coffee, incredulously asking: "Recycling?"

No problem, I am capable of both material research and software design

After boarding the plane, he closed his eyes to rest and began to contemplate various matters in his mind

The bus exited the Shenhai Expressway at Shanmei Urban Area, but his home was not located within the urban area; rather, it was in the suburban Pubei Town. As soon as he got off the bus, he heard a familiar voice.

However, the small amount of money that Huang Xiuyuan has, when invested in the semiconductor industry, is not even enough to fill the gaps between his teeth, and he certainly does not want to let down his brothers

Your father has gone to Sichuan Province, and the key is with me. Remember to come and collect it

Huang Xiuyuan briefly stated: "I just arrived in Bao'an, what is the status of the items I ordered a few days ago?"

Alright, let's talk when I get home

Upon arriving in Pengcheng, he used a domestic SIM card to make a phone call: "Uncle Xiao, Happy New Year"

Sitting on the tricycle that collects waste, Huang Xiuyuan did not express any disdain. The tricycle emitted a faint black smoke as it headed towards the recycling plant

Continue the work of catching broiler chickens, yet another long and tedious night slips away in the cold wind

With a bitter expression, Lu Xuedong sighed softly: "I also want to persuade you to invest in semiconductors, but unfortunately, this industry is destined to be a bottomless pit, and one must be mentally prepared to not make a profit for 10 years and to face the possibility of bankruptcy at any time"

In a state of confusion, Lu Xuedong pondered for a moment and asked, "What do you need me to do?"

Take care on the road

In the following five days, he swiftly resolved the matters at hand, obtained his graduation certificate, terminated the laboratory borrowing, and destroyed the remaining brain suppressants along with all chemical reagents

"Then what suggestions do you have?" Huang Xiuyuan replied with a smile.

Huang Xiuyuan, who had just disembarked from the plane, took a deep breath. Due to the time difference, the sky at Hongqiao Airport was in the morning.

The issue has returned to the beginning

"Xiao Yuan, are you back?" The voice on the other end of the phone carried a hint of surprise

A total of two and a half hours

Xiao Yuan

Lu Xuedong, who was caught in deep contemplation, displayed a slight expression of conflict before ultimately responding to the question with seriousness: "I do not know, but I do not recommend entering the semiconductor industry"

After more than an hour of waiting, Huang Xiuyuan boarded the plane again. The flight from Hongqiao Airport to Bao'an Airport slowly took off from the runway

Uncle Xiao, long time no see

Handle this experiment well, in about a week! I have completed my credits and thesis, and I can graduate at any time

The person wore a loose, old denim jacket, with sun-baked dark skin, cracked lips brought on by the cold wind, and bright, piercing eyes

Before boarding, he injected a high concentration of a brain suppressant, which can ensure the stability of hyperthymesia for the next 60 hours

Rest assured, everything has arrived, and I have also tidied up a room

I know, rest assured, I am not foolish. Huang Xiuyuan actually had a clear understanding in his heart long ago

In Huang Xiuyuan's view, Lu Xuedong is indeed a rare talent; in addition to his major in semiconductors and microelectronics, he is also proficient in materials science and computer software

On the boarding bridge, he silently turned back, gazing at this land, perhaps he would never set foot here again for the rest of his life

I know you have many doubts in your heart, but I am confident that I can do well, and I also need your help

Huang Xiuyuan nodded, and along the way, the uncle and nephew chatted and laughed.

Huang Xiuyuan made a decisive decision: "Then let's set it for February 10! You handle the matters here as soon as possible, then return to the country and pay a visit to your aunt. We will meet on the 15th in Lingnan, Shanmei."

Even if Lu Xuedong does not engage in the semiconductor industry, he can still conduct materials research and software design

Calmly, Huang Xiuyuan replied with a beaming smile, "Xue Dong, do you think that collecting waste does not require skill? This is a profound subject; if done well, it can be a substantial opportunity."

"Let's go home." Huang Sixiao patted him on the shoulder, took over the suitcase, and dragged it towards the tricycle not far away

After 19 hours, a Boeing passenger aircraft glided steadily along the runway at Hongqiao Airport

Entering the semiconductor industry is indeed challenging, but it is not without solutions said Huang Xiuyuan ambiguously

I hung up the phone, and now that the New Year is approaching, I can only take the long-distance bus back.

Upon returning to the dormitory, he casually checked the computer and compared it with the arrangement of the room, discovering that there had been no changes whatsoever, which put him at ease a little

After taking a sip of black coffee, Lu Xuedong curiously asked, "Xiuyuan, what do you plan to do?"

Due to the lack of direct international flights to Shenzhen Bao'an Airport from Boston, the only option is to choose Shanghai Hongqiao Airport

I need some new materials, so I plan to establish a materials laboratory. Additionally, you can also contribute to the research and development in computer programming.

Moreover, Huang Xiuyuan's ambitions cannot possibly be limited to scavenging. It is an inevitable outcome that he will venture into the semiconductor industry in the future; for now, he is merely taking precautions against future uncertainties.

Unlike several other employees, as soon as his father left, he immediately took away several clients and seized the opportunity to establish his own business

With a furrowed brow, Lu Xuedong searched his mind for a moment but still could not find any technology that could promote the significant development of the recycling industry

"Don't be surprised, it's just collecting scrap. Hahaha." Huang Xiuyuan chuckled nonchalantly.

Two people arrived at the buffet restaurant, took some food, and found a table in the corner to eat and chat.

Regarding this uncle, Huang Xiuyuan still has a great deal of trust in him. At least during the lowest point of his life, the other party consistently took care of him and maintained the normal operation of the recycling plant

In a foreign land, it is never wrong to be cautious, after all, the sordid deeds committed by Americans can be described as beyond measure.

What do you intend to do

My father's old profession

No problem

He boarded the flight back to his home country with his luggage

Lu Xuedong, who was smiling wryly, quickly advised, "You young man should not be so naive as to think that the semiconductor industry is something that just anyone can dabble in."

After several hours of bumpy travel, he finally returned to his hometown around four o'clock in the afternoon

Once filled with passion, Lu Xuedong, during his time at Harvard, has clearly recognized the gap. If Huang Xiuyuan were a tycoon of a state-owned enterprise, he would undoubtedly speak in a dazzling manner, luring the other party into this great pit.

At Boston Logan International Airport, in front of the security checkpoint, he waved goodbye to Lu Xuedong, who had come to see him off, and passed through the security check calmly.

I apologize for the trouble, I will be home by this evening

His factory and residence are located right next to the Haishan Highway, adjacent to the road and backed by Tongding Mountain. It is a relatively large recycling plant, covering an area of approximately 20,000 square meters

After dinner, the two individuals returned to their respective residences
