Chapter 336: Chapter 312: This is a Deadlock

The sluggish performance of the Fruit Group’s stock greatly reduced Ye Ling’s room to maneuver...

After all, the market was already bearish on Fruit Group. What could Ye Ling possibly do?

Make the market bullish on Fruit Group again?

Ye Ling felt he couldn’t pull that off in the short term.

After all, the trap last time was one he had set for Fruit Group himself.

It was a checkmate!

Fruit Group’s upper management must have tried numerous methods, but the fact that their stock remained so lukewarm proved one thing...

Fruit Group was unlikely to make a comeback anytime soon!

Besides, why would he even do such a thing?

The last time he targeted Fruit Group, his goal, aside from fleecing them, was something else... he felt Fruit Group was too arrogant and wanted to teach them a lesson!

If Ye Ling helped Fruit Group raise their stock price now, wouldn’t he just be lifting a rock to drop on his own foot?

Ye Ling pondered for a moment, a new target already forming in his mind. He looked up some information on his laptop, a slight smirk playing on his lips, then made a call.

"President Ye, hello!" As soon as the call connected, a respectful voice came from the other end.

The owner of the voice was none other than Chen Lin, whom Ye Ling hadn’t contacted in a long time.

Chen Lin, at this moment, was extremely excited to receive Ye Ling’s call.

Ever since the incident of targeting Fruit Group, Ye Ling hadn’t contacted him, and he had been eagerly awaiting this call.

Ye Ling was his boss and held the key to his future. Of course he wanted to make a good impression!

"Are you in Modu right now?" Ye Ling asked.

"Of course, I’m at Celestial Dragon Investment Company," Chen Lin replied affirmatively.

For a senior executive at an investment firm like Chen Lin, it was normal to work year-round without a break.

Of course!

High effort corresponded to high reward.

Ye Ling had looked into it before. Chen Lin’s salary exceeded one million per month.

What did that even mean?

An ordinary white-collar worker might make a few thousand a month. A slightly better one, say in Modu, might break ten thousand a month.

But.

Breaking ten thousand a month was by no means simple!

This was the real world, not some online forum where everyone brags.

A person earning over ten thousand a month, if not a member of the social elite, was definitely a pillar of the workforce.

As for earning a million a month... that was definitely elite, a one-in-a-thousand, even one-in-ten-thousand, kind of existence!

A lot of women claimed that only a man earning a million a month was good enough for them, but they were probably a bit too self-confident.

Never mind a million a month; even a million a year wasn’t something a woman of average looks could expect to match up with.

An annual salary of a million was, at the very least, one in a hundred...

And looks that were one in a hundred would, at the very least, have to be at the level of the prettiest girl in the class!

And how many of those are there?

"I’m at Tomson Riviera. Come over," Ye Ling said directly.

"Okay, I’m on my way!"

Chen Lin said immediately upon hearing Ye Ling’s words.

’He knew it. Ye Ling must have a new assignment for him!’

After hanging up, Ye Ling went back to browsing current events on his laptop. About ten minutes or so later, Chen Lin arrived in a hurry.

"President Ye!"

Chen Lin greeted Ye Ling respectfully upon seeing him.

"Alright, there’s no one else here. Have a seat." Ye Ling waved his hand and casually pushed his laptop toward him. "Take a look at this."

"Okay."

Chen Lin nodded and glanced at the screen.

"President Ye, are you planning to make a move on Mitsubishi Chip Technology Company?" Chen Lin asked.

"What’s your assessment of Mitsubishi Technology’s strength? Give me your evaluation." Ye Ling neither confirmed nor denied it, instead asking for the other’s opinion.

"I think they’re a tough nut to crack. First, as one of the few companies that have mastered high-end chip manufacturing processes, their hard power is exceptional. Second, Mitsubishi Technology has the backing of many Western capital consortiums, so their background is also very strong..."

Chen Lin gave his analysis.

As the Chief Investment Officer of Celestial Dragon Investment Company, and the person primarily in charge of the company’s operations, he had long since gained a thorough understanding of these global corporations.

Otherwise, how could he possibly make investments?

Investing is a science!

Why is it recommended that novices entrust their money to reliable investment firms?

Because novices don’t know anything; their investments rely entirely on luck. In that situation, the probability of losing money undoubtedly increases dramatically.

But experienced investment firms are different. They have various professional portfolios, allowing them to filter out investments that are certain to lose money... thus increasing the probability of turning a profit!

"Your analysis is correct." Ye Ling nodded.

Mitsubishi Technology’s power was indeed formidable. This formidability came partly from within—it was one of the few companies capable of independently producing high-end chips. This was what Chen Lin had referred to as its "hard power."

It was irreplaceable!

The other part came from external sources. Many interest groups stood behind Mitsubishi Technology, so very few investment firms dared to mess with them.

The stock market, in the end, is a game of capital.

And when faced with those major capital players, the strength of ordinary investment forces was simply not enough to even be considered a threat!

"Now, take a look at this article." Ye Ling opened another file on his laptop and pushed it in front of Chen Lin.

This file was something Hua Deyun had sent him not long ago. It mainly concerned the test results of the first-generation Tianxin 7nm chip.

According to multiple sets of tests, the Tianxin 7nm chip far surpassed the 7nm chip from Taiji Palace in both energy consumption and performance.

Especially in terms of performance, it was at least thirty percent more powerful than the chip from Taiji Palace, thanks to a new technology developed by Hua Deyun!

"Is... is this real?" Chen Lin couldn’t help but narrow his eyes after finishing the article.

Since it was a report, the content was relatively easy to understand. So, even though he wasn’t familiar with the chip industry, he could still grasp the gist of it.

If the contents of this report were true, then this so-called first-generation Tianxin Chip would absolutely crush Mitsubishi’s chips!

"Of course it’s real. What kind of impact do you think a chip like this would have on Mitsubishi Technology Company if it appeared on the market?" Ye Ling continued to ask.

"What’s the cost of this chip?" Chen Lin didn’t answer immediately, asking a question of his own instead.

"Compared to the 7nm chips produced by Mitsubishi Technology, the cost is nearly forty percent lower!" Ye Ling answered directly.

This data, of course, also came from Hua Deyun!

Forty percent...

At that moment, Chen Lin couldn’t help but suck in a sharp breath.

’A forty percent reduction in cost, but a thirty percent increase in performance? That’s terrifying!’
