Episode 24 recap: Zhang Hai Chao and Liu Han Reach an Agreement
In episode 24, Jin Wen has completed the installation and debugging of the phone production line, and the only remaining major challenge is selecting a chip supplier. Li Dong Sheng tells Jin Wen that Lin Guang Yao and Huang Zhong Kai are no pushovers, so if he doesn't want to be led around, he should establish a good relationship with Zhang Hai Chao and try to become the exclusive customer of Ling Tong.
Jin Wen thinks this is a pretty reliable idea.
Zhang Hai Chao pulled an all-nighter and only went home to buy breakfast in the morning. He heard that his father-in-law would be accompanying his mother-in-law to the hospital today, so he arranged for Xue A Tu to take Nini to preschool, and fortunately Jiang Wei came to help in time.
Meanwhile, when Huang Zhong Kai and Wu Xiao arrived in Shenzhen, they went straight to Ni Zhi Xiong's factory. Ni Zhi Xiong was quite enthusiastic, but Huang Zhong Kai could see that it was essentially a family business with chaotic management, and they even had child workers, so he felt Ni Zhi Xiong's company wouldn't amount to much.
Huang Lin Xi heard that Huang Zhong Kai was in Shenzhen, so she proactively called to arrange a meeting with him.
Xue A Tu knows Zhang Hai Chao is strapped for cash right now, so he brought over some good liquor and bath cards, hoping Zhang Hai Chao would use them to entertain clients. But Zhang Hai Chao refused, feeling that as long as their self-developed chips can win over the market, clients will naturally come to them. He asked Xue A Tu to leave the liquor behind to reward the team members.
Huan Shu is fed up with Zhang Hai Chao and Liu Han arguing every day, so she decides to resign and go work for Huang Zhong Kai. But when Zhang Hai Chao hears this, he gets angry and says that if Huan Shu dares to go to Huang Zhong Kai's company, he'll sue her. Huan Shu storms out, slamming the door.
Liu Han and Zhang Hai Chao get into another argument due to clashing visions. Zhang Hai Chao wants Liu Han to first use low-end chips to grab market share, and only move into high-end products once the company is stable. At this time, Zhang Hai Chao gets a call from his father-in-law saying his mother-in-law needs surgery and they need the funds.
He rushes to the hospital and pools together all the cash and cards he has on hand to scrape together the surgery fees.
When Jiang Wei went to pick up Nini, he found that Zhang Hai Chao had not yet gone to pick up the child, so he hurriedly went to pick her up. Zhang Hai Chao was busy at the hospital and only then remembered that Nini was still at the kindergarten. He rushed to the kindergarten and found that Jiang Wei had already taken Nini out.
Zhang Nan suddenly asked Zhang Hai Chao for money, and he was staying at the opposite hotel. Zhang Hai Chao could only smile and speak politely, promising to pay back the money as soon as possible. In the evening, while Zhang Hai Chao was eating dumplings downstairs, he saw a girl doing homework, so he bought her a bowl.
The girl's father later rushed over, and Zhang Hai Chao learned that the girl's mother had surgery today, so he actively lent his phone to the man to call his wife. But the man refused, saying the phone call was too expensive.
Liu Han sent the revised mobile baseband chip design plan to Zhang Hai Chao, and Zhang Hai Chao felt that the cost could be further reduced, so he made some more modifications. He wanted ordinary people to be able to afford a phone without having to worry about high call charges. Liu Han was very happy and encouraged everyone to speed up the chip development. He also had Jiang Wei prepare food and drinks, and laid out bedding in the rest area, and everyone worked together on the research and development.
Seeing Liu Han regain his confidence, Zhang Hai Chao was also very happy. He even called Xue A Tu to borrow money.
On the other side, Huang Lin Xi accompanied a client to drink, and ended up vomiting uncontrollably. When Zhang Hai Chao called her, she lied and said she had just seen the client off and was looking at the night view. Zhang Hai Chao said he would wait for her to come back and they would look at the night view together, and he even recited a poem to her. Huang Lin Xi was so moved that she was in tears.
