Chapter 360: Chapter 327: Entry-Level Technology?

The upper management of Fruit Group took one look, and their expressions filled with gravity.

’This Tianxin Technology Company... they’ve actually mastered the technology to produce 7nm chips!?’

"As you can all see, our plan to blockade the Xia Wei Group on the chip front may have run into a problem!"

Kurda’s voice was tinged with gravity.

He was putting it mildly. How could the current situation be described as simply "running into a problem"?

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say the plan was dead in the water!

"I apologize, sir. My previous analysis was flawed." Hurst stood up, offering his apology.

Last time, he had insisted that Tianxin Technology Company was just posturing. But now, they had released such an announcement...

"Alright, you can’t be blamed for this. Even I didn’t think this Tianxin Technology Company had actually mastered 7nm chip technology!"

Kurda said with a sigh, waving his hand dismissively.

’Who could have predicted something like this?’

A company that appeared out of nowhere—an obscure one at that—had actually mastered technology of this level?

It was simply unbelievable!

"I have a question. What’s the origin of this Tianxin Technology Company? It’s impossible to develop 7nm chip technology without years and years of research!"

A Fruit Group executive said with a sigh.

"Exactly! This Tianxin Technology Company must have started preparations a long time ago!"

Many of the Fruit Group executives agreed with him.

It seemed to be the only plausible explanation.

Tianxin Technology Company must have been established long ago, but they just kept it under wraps while their R&D continued in secret...

"Could it be that Tianxin Technology Company was waiting for this very day?" Hurst said, frowning.

"It’s very possible. This is a conspiracy, a conspiracy against us! By my prediction, this plot was set in motion at least twenty years ago!"

The Fruit Group executive who had spoken earlier nodded in strong agreement.

A conspiracy?

A plot set in motion twenty years ago?

If Ye Ling knew what these executives were discussing, he probably would have burst out laughing.

’What a joke!’

’Twenty years ago? Brother Ling wasn’t even born yet, okay?’

"There’s no point in discussing this now. The fact is, Tianxin Technology Company has mastered 7nm chip technology. What should we do?"

Kurda waved his hand and asked for input.

"President Ku, I have an idea!"

Hurst rose to his feet again.

"Speak!"

Although Hurst had misjudged the situation before, his willingness to take responsibility had won Kurda’s approval.

Therefore, Kurda was willing to hear his suggestion.

"I don’t think we need to panic just yet. Let’s analyze the surface level of Tianxin Technology Company’s announcement."

Hurst quickly organized his thoughts and said, "What Tianxin Technology has mastered is merely 7nm chip technology. In other words, they only possess mid-range chip technology!"

At this, many of the Fruit Group executives nodded.

Hurst’s words had indeed voiced what many of them were thinking.

Right now, Tianxin Technology Company might seem to be getting a lot of hype online, but this was just a 7nm chip.

In today’s high-end smartphone market, don’t all the truly high-end phones use 5nm chips?

Besides, 3nm chips were already under development!

Looked at from that perspective, Tianxin Technology Company had really only mastered entry-level technology!

"Your analysis makes a lot of sense."

Kurda nodded, then added, "And I’d like to add one more point: we still have no idea how this so-called Tianxin Chip actually performs!"

There are still differences between one 7nm chip and another!

In fact, there are quite a few manufacturers in the world capable of producing mid- to high-end chips. However, aside from the top-tier manufacturers, the chips produced by smaller fabs are almost never chosen.

There are two main reasons for this.

First, the output of smaller fabs is too low to meet the supply demands of major high-end smartphone brands.

Second, the quality of the chips produced by these smaller fabs is far inferior to that of the major players.

In Kurda’s opinion, perhaps this Tianxin Technology Company that had popped up out of nowhere was just one of these small fabs.

...

Fruit Group’s assessment was not unique. Many Western capital firms and tech companies ultimately came to a similar conclusion.

This time, the announcement from Tianxin Technology Company didn’t truly capture the attention of these Western powers.

Ye Ling, scrolling through the news on his phone, keenly picked up on this.

However, he didn’t care.

He would let the facts speak for themselves.

When the Xia Wei Group released its phone and the chips produced by Tianxin Technology Company officially debuted, everything would become clear.

Ye Ling scrolled through the news a bit longer before putting down his phone and walking into the room. Ning Ruoxi was still there, obediently poring over books on finance.

Seeing the girl studying so diligently, Ye Ling couldn’t help but feel a surge of warmth. He walked over to her and pulled her into his embrace.

As his familiar scent enveloped her, a smile instantly bloomed on Ning Ruoxi’s face.

"Are you done with work?"

Ning Ruoxi asked, resting her head on Ye Ling’s shoulder.

She loved it when Ye Ling held her like this.

"Yeah, pretty much. It’s probably going to get busy again later, but I’ll be free for the next few days."

As he spoke, he added, "How about we go on a trip?"

"A trip?"

Hearing this, a look of longing appeared in Ning Ruoxi’s eyes.

The last time she and Ye Ling had gone out was to Yazhou during winter break. Now that she thought about it, several months had already passed.

It was mainly because Ye Ling had been far too busy lately and had no time to take her out.

As a result, the girl had been looking forward to going out.

"How about we go hiking? It’s spring, a perfect time for climbing mountains and enjoying the outdoors," Ye Ling suggested after a moment of thought.

"Okay!"

Ning Ruoxi nodded obediently.

For a couple, where they go or what they do isn’t what’s truly important.

What’s the most important thing when two people are together?

It’s not what you do or what kind of life you live, but the other person themself!

Some people play games simply because they like games. Others play games because they can play with that special someone.

There’s a huge difference between the two.

Think about it.

Really think about it.
