286: Chapter 286 Are You Happy?_1
When Huo Gang was in work mode, his phone was always turned off; he didn’t want anything to interfere with his train of thought.
A conducive environnt is truly important for those in design and R&D.
When Xiao Chen and Jiang ng arrived, they didn’t disturb Engineer Huo but simply watched from a distance.
They had a conversation with Ma Wencheng.
“Chairman, Mr.
Xiao, rest assured, with Engineer Huo and these advanced pieces of equipnt, it will take no more than a year to develop an excellent gearbox that belongs to Xinng Group.
It will definitely reach the world-leading level.
Although it may not be able to catch up with Aixin Group, it won’t be far behind.”
Ma Wencheng said excitedly.
“Take a good look, and take care of Engineer Huo.
If he gets tired or hungry, I’ll hold you accountable!”
Xiao Chen instructed Ma Wencheng a few words.
Then he and Jiang ng left.
Being layn in this area, they were better off doing sothing more aningful.
As soon as they returned to the company, Qin Hai, the general manager of Xinng Pharmaceutical, arrived.
His face was filled with worry as if he had encountered so difficulties.
“”Qin Hai, take a seat.
Whatever it is, take your ti to explain,”” Jiang ng said, smiling as she asked Secretary Jin to get a drink for Qin Hai.
Yet Qin Hai couldn’t muster a smile.
With a gloomy expression, he said, “”igao Chips is really being too oppressive!””
“”igao Chips?
Do we have any dealings with a chip company?””
Jiang ng was montarily puzzled.
After all, Xinng Group currently only had three main industries: pharmaceuticals, food, and automobiles.
It seed they didn’t have much to do with chips.
“”Chairman, the pharmaceutical and food industries have both moved towards automation.
Many of our smart devices use high-end chips produced by igao Chips.
igao Chips is the world’s leading chip R&D company with imnse strength.
They’ve virtually monopolized the high-end chip market, holding a whopping seventy percent share and possessing a vast array of patents.
In the chip industry, they’re known as ‘patent pirates.’
That includes mobile phones, computers, and many other smart devices.””
Qin Hai explained, “”Although our group doesn’t have direct contact with them, our smart devices need their chips.
Recently, igao Chips significantly increased their chip prices and patent fees.
This has caused the costs of purchasing our equipnt to also increase substantially.
That in itself is bearable; we can just spend more money.
After all, we don’t possess core chip technology, do we?
The most infuriating thing is that the smart equipnt manufacturer we had a good partnership with has been sanctioned by an Arican Family Clan, and igao Group has already terminated their cooperation with that company.
As a result, that company went bankrupt.
The funds we had prepaid cannot be recovered.
If we can’t keep up with equipnt updates, we’re bound to face problems in our pharmaceutical and food businesses.””
“”Is the technology for these chips very difficult?”” Xiao Chen suddenly asked.
“”Actually, compared with mobile phone and computer chips, these are much less complex.
Our intelligent equipnt only needs chips made with 28nm technology.
But the problem is, we cannot circumvent igao Group, and that puts us in a tough spot,”” Qin Hai said.
“”If it’s not that difficult, our country’s experts should be able to develop an alternative.
Look, you go ahead with your work, and I’ll think of a solution,”” Xiao Chen comnted.
“”We can’t be choked by these chips.
Right now, we are only talking about chips that are not technologically advanced.
If we wait until we enter the mobile phone, computer, and even more advanced intelligent equipnt industries,
to consider chips, it’ll be too late.””
He regretted that Xiao Corporation didn’t initially start with chip technology.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t be so anxious now.
However, fortunately, he had money, plenty of it.
If they could find leading industry experts, truly dedicated specialists, developing alternative chips wouldn’t be that difficult,
especially since they were dealing with less complex 28nm chips right now.
The precision for chips in the mobile phone industry has already reached 5nm.
It definitely can’t be done right away, but we can start on it just in case.
After all, he’s got money to burn, and it’s good to do sothing aningful.
“Right, I seem to recall hearing that Engineer Huo’s daughter is into chip study, and though young, she’s a rare genius in the field.
So of her papers have even made it into scientific journals.”
Qin Hai spoke up suddenly as he was leaving.
“Okay, I’ll ask Engineer Huo about it!”
Xiao Chen said.
Regardless of whether the rumor was true or not, it was always worth a try, just in case it was indeed true, then there would be no need to worry.
At the sa ti.
Huo Yutong stood on the streets of Jiangcheng, sowhat bewildered and surprised at the sa ti.
This city was exactly as described in the rumors.
So clean and tidy.
So orderly.
The people here were so warm-hearted and enthusiastic.
She felt that she might have co to the right place.
If Jiangcheng really is the Dark Forbidden Ground as the rumors claid,
then perhaps she could settle down here and do the things she wanted to do earnestly.
Not knowing where her father lived for the ti being, she found a small hotel to stay in.
Even though it was just a small hotel, it seed there was nothing to worry about.
There were always people patrolling here.
“I wonder how my father is doing; he didn’t even answer my call just now, could he be busy?”
Huo Yutong shook her head, took a shower, and rested for a while.
When she got up, it was already two in the afternoon.
She planned to let Liu Haoran and Zhang iyu know she was safe.
Liu Haoran was very excited on the other end, saying it was good that she was safe; they talked for a while and then hung up.
It was evident that Liu Haoran seed troubled,
but he seed too embarrassed to speak about it.
Huo Yutong shook her head, unable to fathom what had happened, so she called Zhang iyu.
“You’ve arrived in Jiangcheng?”
Zhang iyu seed very surprised.
“Yes, I’ve arrived.
It’s really nice here, very close to what the rumors described.
It’s truly a paradise.
I was thinking, why don’t you co over too?
We could start a business together, and who knows, we might be able to build the chip giant of the future.”
Huo Yutong was already envisioning a bright future.
However, Zhang iyu seed a bit preoccupied.
After chatting for a bit, Huo Yutong went downstairs to grab so food.
Seeing the prices at the restaurant, Huo Yutong was astonished.
Everything here was just too cheap.
Eating the sa food in Tianhai would cost four tis the price.
She thought cheap prices ant poor quality, but when the aromatic beef noodles arrived,
to her surprise, there was even more beef in it than in Tianhai.
“Boss, wouldn’t you be running at a loss doing business this way?”
Huo Yutong couldn’t help asking.
“Lose money?
Not at all!
This is Jiangcheng, after all, with Xinng Group and Tianxing Company around, no one dares to overcharge.
The housing prices and cost of living here are the lowest in the country.
Yet the standard of living is close to that of developed countries.
The happiness index is through the roof.”
The boss said excitedly, “You must be from out of town.
Stay longer, and you’ll understand.
Linhai is even better than here.
Because Tianxing Company and Xinng Group were originally based in Linhai.
Alright, I won’t disturb your al anymore!”
With that, the boss turned and left.
Huo Yutong was genuinely shocked, yet she still harbored so doubts in her heart.
