Chapter 209
Edward put the check away into his briefcase. He had now visibly perked up.
He said with a grin, “Let’s continue our conversation. Mr. Zahn, is your new mobile phone still using the previous mobile phone accessories?”
y new mobile…”
Carlisle was about to respond when there were sudden knocks on the door.
Kenny immediately went to open the door. He was greeted by the sight of Hank and Logan.
Hank, who already looked slightly thin, had looked increasingly haggard. His eye bags and bloodshot eyes indicated that he had been pulling all–nighters for the past few days.
Logan entered the office, looking pale.
She angrily said, “Mr. Zahn, I’ve settled Mr. Scott’s payment. He threatened us by saying he would never let us get our hands on mobile phone chips.”
This was her first time dealing with a supplier since she started working.
Carlisle and Terrence seemed unhappy with each other. Thus, she had anticipated Terrence would terminate their partnership. Still, she did not expect he would be so harsh about it.
Even if a deal had fallen through, a businessman should maintain his integrity.
Everyone worked in Riverland together, after all. She didn’t think it was necessary to resort to such aggressive tactics.
Kenny explained with a concerned expression, “Wind Corporation has become a dominant force in the semiconductor industry in Riverland. Within two years, it has already crushed over ten other companies,
“At the moment, its order volume keeps increasing, which is something to be proud of. If Mr. Scott truly intends to target us, he could even make the other semiconductor companies stop supplying to us.”
The other suppliers exchanged glances before looking at Carlisle.
The mobile phone processor was the equivalent of a human’s brain. Without a processor, a phone could not be manufactured.
Thus, they wanted to see how Carlisle would react to the threat.
“We’ll make our own then!”
Hank suddenly voiced out at this moment.
He continued with a slightly hoarse yet energetic voice, “Our mobile phone system is too advanced.
“There is no chip in this world that could drive our system. Therefore, we can only manufacture our own chips.”
Logan laughed.
“Based on Mr. Zahn’s concept, we need chips that are at least five years ahead of the current technology. Looking at the current standard, it’s impossible!”
The suppliers were utterly confused by their need for chips that were five years ahead of their time. They wondered what kind of mobile phone Carlisle Intended to manufacture.
Carlisle leaned against the couch, his hands folded against his abdomen. He narrowed his eyes while becoming lost in thought.
Logan had summed up the situation very well.
Carlisle had always planned to develop his own SOC chips. But it was not the time to do so.
He needed extremely advanced lithography machines to manufacture the chips he had in mind.
However, the lithography machines on the current market were still at the micron level.
Although he knew what kind of chips would be manufactured in the future and could give ideas, it was still challenging to develop them.
Secondly, Carlisle had to consider the lithography machines. Even if he could develop chips within the next four to five years, he did not posess suitable lithography machines for production.
There was always the option of building his own lithography machines. The thought amused him.
In his previous life, he had only lived until the year 2016. By then, the country had not even developed high- precision lithography machines.
He sighed inwardly. Then, he gestured for them to sit.
