Based on the contract, Future Heavy Industries would supply Hua’s Ministry of Technology and Science one hundred thousand Dragon Calvary X1 Ultrchips per month at a price of 400 US dollar per chip . The chip would be used by the supercomputing centers, universities, research agencies and completely replace Intel’s Xeon Phi .
The contract was set to begin in December .
The 40 million first contract for Future Heavy Industries’ graphene chip was indeed a pleasing result . With a contract, production must commence as well!
Built by the construction robots inside Ange High Tech Park, a transistor manufacturing plant and a chip manufacturing center began to take their shape . All production equipment would be completed by the Institute’s personnel and printed by the industrial-grade 3D printer .
Future Heavy Industries and Hua’s contract made UA Department of Commerce dumbfounded .
The previous embargo was to curtail Hua’s supercomputer development, but based on the estimate made by experts, Tianhe No . 2 replaced with Dragon Calvary X1’s computation speed per second will exceed the previous peak and increase by a complete level!

Dragon Calvary X1’s production meant that the high-end ultrchip controlled by UA will be broken . The countries and companies with embargo orders will have more choice than being limited to just Intel and Qualcomm .
At the same time, the lix architecture’s introduction meant that the supercomputer will no longer be dominated by X86 . Future Heavy Industrial working with Future Technology will challenge Intel’s firm grasp on the top-end chip market .
Regardless what the Capital may think, Jiang Chen was in a pleasant mood .
The engineering vessel that was pulling the desalination platform had already started its journey to the Gulf of Aden under the escort of the submarine and was scheduled to complete the escort when the Saudi Navy arrived at the entrance to the Gulf of Aden; Iron and aluminum ore negotiations ended on a positive note; Graphene introduction was complete to perfection . With so many positive news, this October marked a wonderful harvest for Future Group .
Finally, before early November, the acquisition of the 11 subsidiaries completed the restructuring process, Future Heavy Industries’ workforce doubled . Now the total number of employees of Future Heavy Industries exceeded 20,000, while the net profit also exceeded 15 billion US dollar . This marked Future Heavy Industries becoming the second most profitable company overtaking Future Biology in Future Group .
With the prospect of the home robot and chip market, the number could exceed more than 100 billion!
Compared to the stellar performance of Future Heavy Industries, Future Biology, Tourism, and the other subsidiaries that performed splendidly pale in comparison . Xin’s monthly visitor exceeded the half million mark with an average spending of 975 US dollar per person . Future Tourism dominated the market at 40% . Future Biology’s nutrient supply sale continued to climb and created a trend of healthy eating in the international market… which was complete contrary to the situation in the apocalypse .
Two years ago, in the fall that was beginning to cool off, Future Technology’s Future 1 . 0 first caught the attention of the world .

On this date worth celebrating, Jiang Chen brought his executives and outstanding employees of Future Group and hosted a celebration party on his private island to increase team cohesion and sense of belonging to the company .
In order make the party classier, Jiang Chen called Robert developing in Los Santos and asked him to invite stars to the party .
Based on the principle of not wasting any opportunity, Jiang Chen also asked him to bring his film crew to produce a documentary to highlight Future Group’s culture . It would also serve as an advertisement for the beautiful Pannu Islands .
“I will give you 10 million if you help me invite the best film crew,” Jiang Chen took a pause before he added, “This is the salary, the cost of filming will be calculated otherwise . ”
“Oh, sh*t, are you trying to put the advertisement onto the big screen?” Robert was shocked .
“Remember, it is a documentary, who said I’m making an advertisement! And we won’t put it on the big screen, we’ll use the online channel . ” Jiang Chen cursed at him, jokingly .
Robert still had a fascination with the word “Sh*t” . Now that he hasn’t heard for so long, it felt great to hear it again .

“Okay, buddy, leave this up to me . Thank god, this is not something dangerous . Also, you won’t forget to invite your old friend to the party right?” Robert jokingly said .
“Of course not . You’re welcome to come! Also, bring Nick along . ” Jiang Chen laughed .
The party was just an idea in his head, but after he personally participated in the planning, he became more and more interested .
The island was an uninhabited island located 170 nautical miles from Coro Island . The middle of the island was rich in vegetation while being surrounded by beaches on all four sides . Other than a wooden cabin on the island, there was no other extraneous structures .
Jiang Chen previously brought Ayesha and Xia Shiyu to this island, Natasha came along midway by a helicopter to join their vacation . Jiang Chen personally enjoyed the nature on this island and he was especially fond of that hot spring on the beach .
Regretfully, he only visited the beautiful island once . When he gave it some thought, it was particularly wasteful .
Jiang Chen named the island Hot Spring Island and set the party location there .
The cabin was too small? Jiang Chen invited BMA Contraction who he previously worked with and asked them to come with the best building plan for a hotel .
There were not enough palm trees on the beach? They used the vessels of Celestial Trade and hauled hundreds of palm trees from other islands . With the guidance of professional gardener, they surrounded the island with trees . The vegetation in the middle was also fortunate to receive the scissors from the garden master and were decorated into a work of art .
The planning of the party was contracted the world renowned party planning company – Party Life . When the company received the contract from Future Group, they put a great emphasis by sending out the renowned party planner Patrick Jarnell . The party master who planned Hollywood Red Carpets and famous celebrity parties planned everything to perfection .
Of course, the cost was not cheap .
But for Jiang Chen, it was too small of a bill to be bothered with .
An estimate of over one thousand guests would be visiting the Hot Spring Island and security measures were also a top concern .
Future Group has a lot of faithful allies, but also a lot of enemies .
The security work was assigned to Celestial Trade National Security Department and Jiang Chen’s Ghost Agents . The cooperation of both agencies will ensure absolute safety at the party .
