Shockingly, a counterfeit factory has produced a 3-nanometer chip.

Chapter 500: Rice's Closest Encounter with Death! Lei Jun's Struggle

"Mr. Lei, Transsion has officially announced the relaunch of Bird."

You guessed right, Lu Weibin was the one who used to be in charge of the value-for-money brand.

Now that everyone is welcoming them, shouldn't we offer our blessings as well?

Lei Jun snorted instantly, telling him to go and send a blessing via telepathy?

This isn't sending a chicken to bless a weasel! How could that be?

How could he possibly swallow such a deep-seated hatred?

Most importantly, he didn't have any space for waveguides.

Compared to the impact of a new brand, the document in front of him was the real threat that could kill the rice business.

After all, DaMi is backed by Kyoto. If the other party really goes all out, then in order to protect Kyoto Technology's reputation, someone will definitely protect him.

Just like the car last time...

But this time, the relevant departments changed their attitude, and an inquiry letter with a bright red official seal was placed on the bench.

This was jointly sent by the Kyoto Municipal Market Supervision Department, the Cyberspace Administration of China, and the National Development and Reform Commission.

The core message is singular: the company is required to provide a written explanation regarding the shareholding and business relationships of its largest shareholder, Silver Lake Capital, as well as the connection between Silver Lake Capital and its recent involvement in transnational cyberattacks, and to cooperate with subsequent talks.

Silver Lake Capital has been subject to an administrative penalty of being prohibited from investing for one year.

Faced with these problems, Lei Jun was so frustrated that he wanted to go to the hospital for a couple of days to get some peace and quiet, but he had to confront these issues.

After all, Silver Lake Capital holds 40% of the shares in DaMi, making it the largest shareholder.

And they were the masterminds behind the telepathic communication incident.

At this point, the nature of being targeted by regulatory authorities changes completely.

At best, they will face fines, rectification requirements, and a reduction in the proportion of foreign ownership.

In severe cases, it could be directly labeled as a shell company with foreign investment that endangers national information security, which would severely damage its current mobile phone and automobile businesses.

"Respond to what? What's there to respond to?" Leibusi cursed impatiently.

"It's just a waveguide; it can't cause any major upheavals."

All of this was a telepathic message; it's all because if it weren't for this troublemaker, how could Da Mi be doing so badly today?

The secretary didn't say much, after all, President Lei was in a bit of a bad mood!

"Mr. Lei, the congratulations aren't a big deal, but what about the inquiry letter... how should we respond?"

The secretary asked cautiously, because if this wasn't handled properly, the rice might really die.

"There's no rush to reply; that's not something we can solve right now."

Lei Jun also started walking away in frustration. After all, he had already called the secretary, but the matter was quite serious, and the other party seemed to want to avoid suspicion...

So... if things aren't handled properly, he'll become a pawn, and then Shen Fei can easily target him again.

"Book me a flight to Wuhan for tomorrow. I need to go back to Yinghan University."

"Mr. Lei, you want to go see the principal...?"

"Hmm." Leibusi's tone was somewhat complicated; this was his last resort.

"Just say that the school anniversary is coming soon, I'll go back and give a speech, donate some money to the school, and discuss some school-enterprise cooperation projects."

After all, Yinghan University is a top-tier institution, and many of its graduates hold high positions.

Only by establishing this connection can we suppress the Silver Lake Capital issue.

Spending money is a small matter, as long as it can avert disaster.

"Oh, right," Lei Jun added, "the amount of donations was reported inflated."

"Let's expand the collaborative projects a bit further. For example, we'll jointly train master's and doctoral students, providing full-cycle funding, and then the students will all be taken away with us."

"clear."

The assistant understood this perfectly well; it was a bribe, a project offer, and the principal would definitely step in.

After everyone left, Leibusi became worried again.

The voice transmission is really pressing him relentlessly, leaving him absolutely no chance!

These days are really tough. It seems like we really need to speed things up with the rice car project.

…………

The following afternoon, Lei Jun's plane landed at Wuhan Tianhe Airport.

The president and secretary of Yinghan University personally led the staff of the university office to welcome them at the airport.

Lei Jun is one of Yinghan University's most famous alumni. He has donated a lot of money to the school over the years and is also a well-known entrepreneur, so the school naturally has to give him a lot of face.

The welcome banquet was held at the school's academic exchange center.

After offering a few toasts, Li Si stood up again, holding his glass, and bowed slightly to the principal and the secretary.

"Secretary, if it weren't for the nurturing I received from my alma mater, I wouldn't be where I am today."

I will always remember the kindness my alma mater has shown me.

The old principal smiled and waved his hand: "Xiao Lei, you're too kind. Your achievements today are the result of your own hard work."

It is also the pride of our Yinghan University.

"You can't say that," Lei Jun said sincerely. "I came back this time to visit my alma mater and see my teachers."

Secondly, I wanted to do something practical for my alma mater.

When the four principals and secretaries present heard Lei Buss say this, they put down their wine glasses. They certainly knew why Lei Buss had come.

But it wasn't a matter of principle; it was just that he was implicated by the investors...

If the benefits are significant enough, helping them weather this crisis wouldn't be a big deal.

Seeing that the principals had all nodded, Leibusi continued earnestly.

"Rice is currently in a period of expansion, and we are also focusing on mobile phones, smart cars, and smart homes. What we lack most is top-notch scientific research talent."

"Xiao Lei, just say what you want to say. There are no outsiders here." As the old principal spoke, the other three nodded as well.

"I want to collaborate with the university to establish a Rice-Yinghan University Master-Doctoral Program."

Students majoring in computer science, electronic information engineering, automation, and automotive manufacturing can pursue their doctoral degrees directly from their undergraduate studies, with all tuition, living expenses, and research funding covered by rice.

Just as the senior principals were about to nod in agreement, Lei Jun waved his hand again, indicating that there were even more benefits to come.

"After graduation, you can directly join Dami with a guaranteed annual salary of 30 yuan or more, with no upper limit for core positions."

Lei Jun's power of words goes far beyond that. Finally, he raised his hand and addressed the leaders.

"This will not only contribute to the school's talent cultivation, but also solve the students' employment problem."

"Principal, do you think this is feasible?"

The principal and the secretary exchanged a glance, both seeing satisfaction in each other's eyes, but whether this matter could be done depended on the old secretary's opinion.

After all, there are some things that even the two of them might not be sure about...

But the old Party Secretary was even more satisfied, as this was a genuine achievement.

Moreover, the joint training program is a fully funded master's and doctoral program, which can not only improve the school's employment rate, but also secure scientific research cooperation with enterprises, which sounds good.

Most importantly, the rice has a good reputation, and there will always be young people who are willing to believe in it!

Perhaps the students in this master's and doctoral program will be able to score as high as those from Tsinghua and Peking Universities... This is truly a great project.

"That's great news!" With the support of the two senior leaders, the principal nodded without hesitation, "This is fantastic news! Our school fully supports it."

But after saying that about the principal, he rubbed his hands together, and then it was time to talk about...
