Episode 16 recap: Qin Yu Dong Blows the Whistle on Li Yue's Chip Fraud
In Episode 16, Huang Lin Xi and Zhang Hai Chao took separate paths to seek investors. Huang Lin Xi used his smooth-talking skills to try to convince Xue A Tu to invest in Lingcheng, but Xue A Tu was dissatisfied with Li Dong Sheng's actions and refused to invest. Meanwhile, Zhang Hai Chao proactively accompanied Qin Yu Dong to play baseball and discussed the financing matter, but Qin Yu Dong advised him to focus on R&D and not get distracted by fundraising.
Li Dong Sheng's information website gained the favor of investors, boosting the team's morale. However, this displeased Zhang Hai Chao, leading to a dispute with Li Dong Sheng.
Concurrently, Li Yue and Guan Tong attempted to expand Yuanhang Technology's scale through private fundraising, which concerned Qin Yu Dong, who believed it might involve fraud.
Zhang Hai Chao noticed that the team had lost enthusiasm for R&D due to the internet boom, so he gathered the PhDs to share their ideals and vision, urging them to focus on developing communication chips to benefit humanity.
Huang Lin Xi suggested holding a product launch on the Great Wall, which Zhang Hai Chao readily agreed to.
Qin Yu Dong approached Zhang Hai Chao, expressing a willingness to invest in Lingcheng on the condition that Zhang Hai Chao persuade Li Dong Sheng to abandon the internet project. Zhang Hai Chao promised to persuade Li Dong Sheng and planned to test the chips on the Great Wall to demonstrate their determination. Qin Yu Dong hoped to work with Zhang Hai Chao to change the current state of the communication chip industry.
Upon learning of Qin Yu Dong's collaboration with Zhang Hai Chao, Li Yue sensed that Qin Yu Dong was about to take significant action.
Qin Yu Dong officially reported Yuanhang Technology's chip fraud, but was framed by Li Yue and Guan Tong, leading to his arrest by the police. Huang Lin Xi quickly arranged a lawyer for Qin Yu Dong, successfully securing his release. After learning that Huayuan Foundry's 8-inch production line had been shut down, Qin Yu Dong immediately rushed back to the company to handle the situation.
On the Great Wall, Zhang Hai Chao led his team of PhDs to test the chips, and Li Dong Sheng later arrived, reconciling with Zhang Hai Chao. Zhang Hai Chao's perseverance and Li Dong Sheng's involvement brought new hope for the development of Lingcheng.
