Time flies by like a flash, a year and a half passed in a blink of an eye, and we arrived at the end of 1994.
In this year and a half, many things, big and small, happened.
For example, the nine-story Erwin Experimental Building has been built long ago, and after being secretly transformed by Leo, it has now officially become Leo's private experimental building.
All the laboratories on the basement floor of the Erwin Building in Hell's Kitchen have been moved here by Leo, and of course Stim has also followed.
In addition, because Leo was willing to invest money, he not only invested all the profits from the El series chips, but also borrowed a sum of money from the bank in the name of the company.
Therefore, other supporting buildings at the Marvel base can be started at the same time.
Now the construction of the Marvel base has been basically completed, and the main buildings have been erected, including canteens, convenience stores and other supporting facilities.
Even outside the base, some private restaurants have opened, and two supermarkets have opened. This speed of construction makes Leo have to admire the productivity, or ability to make money, of the broad masses of the people.
At the same time, preparations for several new departments of Erwin Technology Company have been completed and have begun to get on track.
Even, the three emerging sub-sectors eventually evolved into corresponding subsidiaries in order to adapt to market demand.
Of course, the legal person of the company is still Leo Irvine, and he is also 100% controlled.
Moreover, the chip production department of Erwin Technology Company has also moved to the Erwin Technology Building at the Marvel Base.
The current Marvel base has become a large technology park.
The Ervin Building in Hell's Kitchen is now dedicated to processing various sales orders and receiving customers, and is run by Matt's wife Heather.
Yes, Daredevil Lawyer Matema is already married to his college classmate, an ordinary person.
Since the Kingpin was eliminated by Leo early, Matt had no chance to meet his "old enemy" Erica, and he didn't know whether it was his luck or misfortune.
In addition to Leo's rapid development, the world's technological level has also advanced by leaps and bounds in this year.
As Leo expected, the Internet industry has developed the fastest, and the computer and mobile phone industries are not far behind.
As a result, a large number of investors saw that these industries were profitable and jumped into these sunrise industries, greatly promoting their development.
Of course, these investors are still a full year behind Leo.
The so-called slow step, slow step.
So while they are still learning the current theoretical knowledge and design concepts, Erwin Technology Company, led by Leo, is innovating all the way and is at the forefront of the world.
In the El Chip Technology Building, in a laboratory filled with various instruments, two people in white coats were conducting tests seriously.
Several sets of wires connected a small chip, and the other end of the chip was connected to a boxy tester, so densely packed parameters were finally displayed on the tester, attracting the two people's attention.
"Oh yeah!" One of the younger-looking people clenched his right fist, waved it hard, and said excitedly,
"Mr. Erwin, the overall performance of this chip is more than 20% higher than that of Erwin's fifth-generation chip. Erwin's sixth-generation chip has finally been successfully developed.
I led the team to solve a problem that had not been solved for three weeks, and you helped me solve it in two hours. Mr. Erwin, you are really amazing."
The young man's eyes were filled with admiration.
Leo smiled faintly and said modestly: "This is also a coincidence. When I was designing new things some time ago, I happened to encounter a similar problem..."
In fact, the upgrade of the El series chips is entirely under Leo's control. The performance of the current sixth generation El chips is less than one-tenth of the performance of the chips used by Stim.
However, Leo would not tell Peter these things, lest Peter lose motivation.
Instead, Leo comforted him:
"Peter, don't blindly worship me and underestimate yourself. If you and your team are given some more time, you will definitely be able to solve this problem."
"Of course, my team and I have this confidence. However, the Lianxiang subsidiary has to launch a new computer at the beginning of the year, and the time is a bit tight, so I have to ask you for help."
Peter scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly.
Lianxiang Subsidiary, whose full name is Lianxiang Electronic Technology Co., Ltd., is a subsidiary of Erwin Technology Company and mainly produces and sells various computers.
As for the name~
Of course it was Leo who got it.
"Since Lianxiang is in a hurry, you can go and continue your work. I have to go back to the laboratory." But before leaving, Leo said again,
"Peter, although the company has recently entered many emerging industries and there are many areas that require support from your technical department, I advise you not to be as workaholic as you were when you were Spider-Man. Sometimes it is not good to have too much responsibility. You should get off work.
Remember to get off work decisively.
You have just gotten married, so don’t let Mary Jane feel that your marriage has become the tomb of love."
Peter nodded repeatedly, feeling very moved.
These days, bosses who don’t push employees to work overtime, but instead advise them to be family-oriented, are too rare.
Leo smiled, turned and walked out of the laboratory.
Arriving at the door of the El Chip Technology Building, Leo smiled and said hello to the gatekeeper Zi Quan, and walked towards the Erwin Experimental Building.
He is currently building and improving his mechanical army, but he is very busy.
The outdoors was no better than the indoors. The sunshine at 1:55 noon was too bright. Although the temperature was not high due to the snow that had just fallen, Leo also subconsciously contracted his pupils and squinted his eyes.
At this time, a pleasant ringtone suddenly rang. Leo stopped and took out the Mi Phone 1 in his pocket in confusion.
Rice mobile phone is the latest product of Rice Communications Co., Ltd., another subsidiary of Erwin Technology Company.
Needless to say, this name was also given by Leo.
Of course, in addition to computers and mobile phones, there is also a subsidiary focusing on Internet technology, but the name...
Forget it, just don’t mention it.
This mobile phone is very trendy. While other mobile phones can only display numbers, this mobile phone already has an address book function, is also equipped with a ring-back tone function, and is even a flip-top phone.
The key is that the price is not much more expensive than the mainstream mobile phones on the market, so it is difficult to think about whether it is popular or not. Now rice mobile phones have become Leo's main source of income.
Leo flipped up the front cover of his phone and saw Natasha's name displayed on the caller ID.
"I'm Leo, what happened?" He put the phone to his ear and asked.
"Little Eric is missing." Natasha's voice was very urgent.
"What's going on? Shouldn't he be in school now?" Leo frowned.
"I don't know the specific situation. I just received a call from their school. They said that Eric did not return to school after eating outside the school at noon. They thought the student was tired of studying, so they called me.
.”
Natasha continued,
"I told the school that Eric did not come home. Now the school has re-checked the surveillance at the school gate. They said that if the child is not found before school ends this afternoon, they will call the police."
After listening to this, Leo rubbed his forehead and thought to himself that this school is very responsible, and it deserves to be the middle school where Spider-Man Peter graduated.
