As a Magnate, I Started Checking in at a Convenience Store

Chapter 720: The Former “Brake” Dream!

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Boss, boss!”

Lin Wu hurried out of the house with a cellphone in hand, his face beaming with excitement!

At that moment, Zhou Chao was leisurely sitting on the backyard sofa, reading a book.

Seeing Lin Wu’s excitement, Zhou Chao set down his book and looked at Lin Wu with a faint smile.

“What’s got you so happy? Could it be your wife is pregnant?”

Upon hearing Zhou Chao’s playful remark, Lin Wu’s face showed a hint of embarrassment.

“Well… I still need to work on that!” Lin Wu said somewhat awkwardly.

Seeing Lin Wu’s expression, Zhou Chao shook his head with a smile. “What’s the good news that got you so excited just now?”

Hearing Zhou Chao’s question, Lin Wu’s expression turned from excitement to joy. “Boss, take a look at this video. Xu Yu has really made a name for himself this time. I believe after this incident, he will definitely become a well-known figure in China. The internet is buzzing about it, and major social media platforms in the country are all in an uproar!”

Zhou Chao also knew that Lin Wu was referring to the news about Canghai Technology selling ultra-precision machine tools and 5nm lithography machines. A few days ago, Xu Yu called him to ask if he would attend the meeting. After thinking it over, Zhou Chao declined Xu Yu’s proposal. After all, Xu Yu is now the leader of Canghai Technology and doesn’t need Zhou Chao’s involvement in everything. If he attended, it might overshadow Xu Yu.

Today’s protagonist should be Xu Yu. As for the hardworking research scientists and professors, they can only silently stand behind the scenes for now. After all, it’s not their time to shine yet!

So Zhou Chao let Xu Yu take full responsibility for the related matters. However, he didn’t expect the situation to escalate to this extent. But when he watched the video, Zhou Chao understood why Lin Wu was so excited!

With Canghai Technology’s successful breakthroughs, they have elevated domestic machine tool and lithography technology to a world-class level, gaining international recognition and boosting domestic pride.

“Let me see!” Zhou Chao extended his right hand as he spoke.

Standing nearby, Lin Wu quickly unlocked his phone and found the video, then handed the phone to Zhou Chao.

What a shock!

The topic of Canghai Technology selling ultra-precision machine tools and 5nm lithography machines has become a hot topic of national interest. It’s the most popular topic on a short video platform, especially with millions of likes and comments on a video meticulously crafted by a prominent figure.

Even Zhou Chao didn’t anticipate the development to reach such heights. However, after watching the video, he understood why Lin Wu was so excited!

Seeing the caption of the video, Zhou Chao couldn’t help but twitch his lips a few times.

“After ten years of hard work, Canghai Technology’s independently developed lithography machines and ultra-precision machine tools have entered mass production. I believe that in the near future, Huaxia Technology will soar, congratulations to Canghai Technology!”

Reading the caption by “Yang Mama” (referring to a popular social media personality), a thought flashed through Zhou Chao’s mind. Elevating Canghai Technology to such a high status this time… he wondered if it was a good thing or a bad thing.

However, that thought quickly passed. Even though Canghai Technology was highly regarded, Zhou Chao wasn’t worried. Even if some foreign forces were envious and wanted to stifle Canghai Technology, he wasn’t concerned. After all, he wasn’t short of money, and founding Canghai Technology wasn’t just about making money. The main purpose was to contribute to the development of high technology in China!

Bringing his thoughts back, Zhou Chao looked at the prominent figures appearing in the video, such as Ren Lao from Jiuwei, Gao from Zhongxin Technology, and Xiao Ma from Tencent, among others. Surprisingly, even a middle-aged man in military uniform appeared in the crowd, with a shiny gold star on his shoulder.

Zhou Chao understood that this was a clear signal from higher-ups, showing support for Canghai Technology. It seemed they wanted to send a message to the outside world that anyone who dared to have any bad thoughts about Canghai Technology would have to think twice.

Opening the comments section of the video, Zhou Chao couldn’t help but feel the excitement as he read through the countless praises. A knowing smile crept onto his lips.

“If I didn’t have my system, I’d probably be just as excited as all those people leaving comments!”

Shaking his head with a smile, Zhou Chao continued reading the comments.

Observing his boss’s expression, Lin Wu could tell that Zhou Chao was still quite happy. After standing for a while, Lin Wu noticed Zhou Chao’s focused demeanor and decided to sit down on a nearby chair, pouring himself a cup of tea.

As time passed by, half an hour quickly went by. Zhou Chao finally looked away from his phone, casually placing Lin Wu’s phone on the table. Rubbing his eyes lightly, he still wore a faint smile on his lips.

“Boss, are you done watching?” Lin Wu cautiously asked.

Leaning back in his chair and rubbing his brow, Zhou Chao replied with closed eyes, “Yeah, I’ve seen enough. The online sentiment seems pretty positive overall. Although there are a few bad apples, it’s nothing serious. By the way, how’s the task I assigned to you going?”

Initially, when Lin Wu heard Zhou Chao mention a few bad apples, he wondered if he should inform Ling Chen or Xu Yu to handle it. However, Zhou Chao suddenly changed the topic, catching Lin Wu off guard!
