Cheng Lu's admiration for Chen Feng grew even stronger upon hearing this.
In this era of complacency, such a fearless spirit was rare among young people.
"Chen Feng, as long as you have the idea, you will definitely succeed. Don't worry," Cheng Lu reassured him.
However, she couldn't help but worry about Chen Feng a little.
Such matters had happened before, and typically, if something couldn't be bought, it couldn't be bought. Japan's control over advanced technology was extremely strict, not something that could be obtained with just persistent effort.
Especially this time, the sd equipment was even more difficult. The internet said that although the sd equipment was civilian, it contained military technology. Japan had the highest level of control over it, making it as difficult as climbing to heaven to buy sd equipment.
Upon arriving in Japan, after a busy week, the situation was as Cheng Lu had predicted. The sd equipment was under the highest level of control and was not exported at all, no matter how much money was offered.
"Chen Feng, we've been running around for a week, and you've seen the situation. Running around more won't yield any results. My suggestion is, since we're here, we might as well enjoy a few days in Japan for the remaining time. We can figure out the sd equipment issue when we get back," Cheng Lu persuaded Chen Feng.
"The sd equipment is only available in Japan. If we can't buy it and bring it back, the five-forest village crayfish project cannot be launched. We must find a way," Chen Feng said, biting his lip tightly.
"Chen Feng, I understand what you're saying. But the reality is right in front of us. It's not just you; even my dad couldn't solve this. It's better to think more optimistically. It's okay if the crayfish project doesn't take off this time. We can look for better projects slowly next time," Cheng Lu continued to persuade Chen Feng.
"Miss Cheng, do you have a way for me to stay in the workshop of Yamashita Corporation for an hour?" Chen Feng asked, his brow furrowed after a moment of thought.
"Chen Feng, what do you mean?" Cheng Lu asked, confused.
"What I mean is, since Japan is unwilling to sell the sd equipment to me, I'll find a way to steal the core structural design. Just like Japan stole China's Xuan paper technology back then," Chen Feng said truthfully.
"Chen Feng, your method is good, but the problem is, how can you steal the core structural technology in just one hour?"
"I wish I could stay for a day and steal it slowly. But the Japanese are very vigilant. If I stay longer, they will definitely get suspicious. Once the Japanese become suspicious, it will be difficult to steal."
"That makes sense. Alright, I'll try."
If it were anyone else doing something like this, Cheng Lu would not support them.
The reason was simple: stealing core technology in an hour was certainly impossible.
However, Chen Feng was not just anyone; he was a man she admired the most.
Even knowing that Chen Feng might not be able to complete this arduous task, she still wanted to support him unconditionally.
This is love!
Accompanying the man she liked in doing all sorts of things, regardless of whether the task could be accomplished, was all about supporting him.
That evening, Cheng Lu specifically went to find the workshop director of Yamashita Corporation.
"Mr. Fujino, can my boyfriend and I stay in your workshop for an hour tomorrow?" Cheng Lu asked Fujino Shiro directly in the coffee shop.
"An hour? That long? What do you want to do?" Fujino Shiro looked at Cheng Lu suspiciously.
"Mr. Fujino, it's like this. My boyfriend, Chen Feng, is very interested in your Yamashita Corporation's sd equipment. However, you are not exporting it. So, before leaving Japan, we just want to have a good look at the sd equipment in operation, as a consolation," Cheng Lu replied, half-truthfully.
"You're not thinking of stealing the technology, are you?" Fujino Shiro asked deliberately.
"Mr. Fujino, to be honest, we do want to steal it. But, you see, the sd equipment is not just cutting-edge technology in Japan, but also worldwide. Moreover, the sd equipment is enclosed in massive metal casings. Even if we wanted to steal it, we couldn't. Besides, an hour is such a short time, what could we possibly steal?" Cheng Lu explained with feigned composure.
Fujino Shiro heard this and thought it made sense.
In an hour, not only could the sd equipment not be stolen, but even ordinary technology couldn't be stolen.
"Miss Cheng, I can agree to you and your boyfriend visiting the workshop for an hour, but you must agree to two conditions," Fujino Shiro said sternly.
"As long as it can fulfill my boyfriend's wish, let alone two conditions, I'll agree to two thousand conditions," Cheng Lu replied eagerly.
"You are straightforward, and so am I. The two conditions are: First, while you and your boyfriend are in the workshop for an hour, I must have someone accompany you the entire time. Second, you cannot take such a big risk to let you and your boyfriend stay in the workshop for an hour without any compensation; you must pay a ten thousand yuan hardship fee."
"Agreed."
Cheng Lu agreed without hesitation. As long as Chen Feng could leave Japan without regrets, these two small conditions were not a problem.
Therefore, the next day, Chen Feng and Cheng Lu entered the Yamashita Corporation workshop.
Cheng Lu had originally thought Fujino Shiro would send a minor employee to watch them. To her surprise, Fujino Shiro himself came to supervise.
The surveillance was extremely strict; he even followed Chen Feng to the restroom.
Cheng Lu felt a pang of frustration. It seemed that Chen Feng's hour in the Yamashita Corporation workshop would only be to satisfy his own longing. The core technology of the sd equipment could not be stolen.
Fujino Shiro was more vigilant and meticulous than guarding against a thief. How could they steal it?
Time passed quickly, and the hour was soon over.
Cheng Lu had no choice but to take Chen Feng away from the Yamashita Corporation workshop.
"Chen Feng, I'm sorry, I couldn't help you," Cheng Lu said with guilt at the airport.
"Cheng Lu, please don't say that. If it weren't for you, how could I have stayed in the workshop for an hour?" Chen Feng replied with a faint smile.
"You did stay for an hour, but that damnable Fujino Shiro followed you the entire time, making it impossible to steal. Plus, the sd equipment was tightly enclosed, making it even harder to steal," Cheng Lu sighed.
"On the surface, that's how it is. However, I've already stolen the technology."
"What? You stole the technology? Is that true or false?"
"Absolutely true." Chen Feng replied with a faint smile.
"Quick, show me!" Cheng Lu said excitedly.
"I can't show it to you right now."
"Can't show it?" Cheng Lu looked bewildered.
"The core technology is in my mind, so I definitely can't take it out," Chen Feng continued with a faint smile.
"Chen Feng, what exactly is going on? You've confused me."
"Earlier, in the workshop, I deliberately helped the maintenance technicians dispose of trash, and inside were a few discarded repair blueprints. I have to say, the Japanese are very vigilant; they even shred the workshop trash on the spot before disposing of it. Fortunately, my memory is quite good. After glancing at them a few times, I basically remembered them. With these repair blueprints, we can go back to the provincial capital and find a company with strong capabilities, and then we can build a replica of the sd equipment." Chen Feng explained seriously.
"This works?" Cheng Lu was stunned on the spot.
Chen Feng's move was truly extraordinary!
