Episode 11 recap: Li Dong Sheng Travels to Hong Kong to Seek Investment
In episode 11, the CEO of the science and technology group, Guan, expressed doubts about Zhang Hai Chao's team's capabilities and firmly opposed Li Dong Sheng becoming the CEO. He made many negative comments about Li Dong Sheng in front of District Head Pan, causing Pan to hesitate and decide to wait for the opinions of Qin Yu Dong and private entrepreneurs before making a decision.
Sensing the entrepreneurs' hesitation, Li Dong Sheng was concerned they might not be willing to invest. He suggested reducing the salaries of the PhDs to lower costs, and learned that Lin Guang Yao, the president of Taiwan's Boya Semiconductor Company, was in Hong Kong. This company specialized in the R&D of mobile baseband chips and had mature technology.
Therefore, Li Dong Sheng decided to go to Hong Kong to seek investment from Lin Guang Yao. Zhang Hai Chao firmly opposed cutting the PhDs' salaries, insisting on the original compensation plan. Li Dong Sheng had Huang Lin Xi try to persuade them, but Zhang Hai Chao felt this concern was unnecessary.
He was convinced he could not obtain funding support from the Yangtze River Industrial Park and felt deeply troubled. That night, Zhang Hai Chao tossed and turned, unable to sleep, with Huang Lin Xi comforting him. You Chu suggested that Zhang Hai Chao shift to developing navigation chips to obtain government funding, but Zhang Hai Chao insisted on working on mobile baseband chips.
In Hong Kong, Li Dong Sheng joined a tour group and immediately received a call from Xue A Tu, learning that Qin Yu Dong had already signed a cooperation agreement with Li Yue. Xue A Tu, unaware of this, went to talk to Qin Yu Dong to understand the situation.
Qin Yu Dong confirmed the news and revealed that Li Yue was his junior. He also suggested that Xue A Tu find a private entrepreneur to invest in Zhang Hai Chao's team. This caused Xue A Tu to hesitate. Due to the shortage of funds, the experts on Zhang Hai Chao's team were becoming increasingly anxious.
Dr. Chen used his child's illness as an excuse to take leave, and Huang Lin Xi rushed to the hospital to visit and inform Zhang Hai Chao. In Hong Kong, Li Dong Sheng met with Lin Guang Yao and requested that he invest in Lingze Company. After considering it, Lin Guang Yao agreed to invest $6 million, but demanded a 30% equity stake.
Li Dong Sheng insisted on only giving him a 10% stake and gave him two hours to consider, otherwise he would turn to Silicon Valley to seek investment. At the same time, Li Dong Sheng also sought help from Ou Yang Zi Xia, hoping she could get in touch with Mr. Zhou.
After returning late, Zhang Hai Chao and Huang Lin Xi found that the funding issue was still severe. Huang Lin Xi personally visited the doctors' homes, cooked for them, and helped them solve problems, but there were still many family members who expressed dissatisfaction. Zhang Hai Chao was busy with work every day and was exhausted.
One evening, they were attracted by the noisy commotion in the hallway and discovered that the architecture engineer Jason and the flight attendant Xiao Dan were having an affair, causing the wife in the US to attempt suicide. The doctors' wives all condemned Jason.Afterwards, Zhang Hai Chao had a heart-to-heart talk with Jason, but Jason insisted that he no longer had feelings for his wife and that his relationship with Xiao Dan was true love.
Huang Lin Xi confronted Xiao Dan, hoping she would leave Jason. Upon learning that Jason was about to lose his job and face divorce and eviction, Xiao Dan said she would consider leaving. When Huang Lin Xi returned home, he found Jason was still there and flew into a rage, but Zhang Hai Chao managed to persuade Jason to leave.
Mrs. Li saw the news on TV that Li Dong Sheng was going to Hong Kong, suspecting that Zhang Hai Chao could not raise investment domestically, and summoned the doctors' wives to interrogate Zhang Hai Chao and Huang Lin Xi. Huang Lin Xi guaranteed that there was no problem with the funding, but Mrs. Li was still skeptical.
She called Li Dong Sheng to verify, and after learning about Jason's situation, Li Dong Sheng became concerned about Zhang Hai Chao's predicament. From that day on, more and more doctors offered to resign from Zhang Hai Chao, leaving him in a dilemma and eagerly hoping for Li Dong Sheng's return.
Li Dong Sheng continued to negotiate with Lin Guang Yao, who insisted on a 15% stake. At the same time, Huang Lin Xi connected with Ou Yang Zi Xia via video, pouring out his anguish, and also hoped that Li Dong Sheng would return as soon as possible to share the pressure with Zhang Hai Chao.
