Noticing the incoming call was from Cui Yingying, Xu Fang pressed the answer button and said with a smile, "Professor Cui, are you looking for me?"

Xu Fang cut straight to the chase, "Do you need more funding for this month?"
"Yes, we've successfully tackled the last project, and now there are two significant challenges ahead. We are preparing to tackle the biggest one first, but it will require 3 billion in research funds!" Cui Yingying explained the situation.
"If these two challenges are overcome, does that mean we can produce the solar cells?" Xu Fang inquired.
