For this, Zong Xinyao had even gotten special permission from Su Chen to temporarily transfer personnel from Yunmengze Capital to assist. They would be transferred back once Vast Sea Group was on the right track.
Su Chen stretched and prepared to head back to his bedroom to study the system’s rewards.
While eating earlier, a question had occurred to him. It was already December, and he wasn’t sure if the system’s blind box shop had refreshed or if it would only happen next month.
The question gnawed at him, making him itch with curiosity.
Back in his bedroom, Su Chen made a point of locking the door from the inside. Although Jiang Hui and the others wouldn’t just enter his room without permission, he was just being cautious.
He skillfully summoned the system panel. When he saw a blind box gift pack hanging in the shop, his eyes lit up...
But when he saw the price listed below the gift pack, he enthusiastically cursed the system’s mother!
"999,999,999!"
A full string of nine nines—nine hundred ninety-nine million, nine hundred ninety-nine thousand, nine hundred ninety-nine!
’Wasn’t this aimed directly at my spending limit for the month, leaving me with just a single dollar? Why not just be direct and make it an even billion!’
If this wasn’t blatant mockery, what was?
After cursing the system’s mother for two minutes, Su Chen gritted his teeth and bought the blind box gift pack anyway.
The reason was simple: Su Chen wasn’t short on cash. He still had 500 million in his bank account, with another 50-plus million arriving tomorrow. It was more than enough... well, fine!
He didn’t rush to open the gift pack. Instead, he started examining the items the system had previously rewarded him. He had seen some mind-blowing things while he was unconscious.
10nm to 3nm chip technology. After the country’s "chip scam" debacle, the entire chip industry had stagnated for thirteen years. Only in the last two or three years had the industry slowly begun to show signs of development.
Many large domestic enterprises had set their sights on the chip industry, but they were ultimately a dozen years too late. Their technology couldn’t compare to what was available abroad.
While we were still figuring out how to manufacture 18nm chips, foreign countries were already mass-producing 5nm chips. The gap wasn’t just the difference between 18 and 5; they were on completely different levels.
He looked at the chip technology in his system inventory, which had been conveniently divided into four parts: 10nm, 8nm, 5nm, and 3nm. ’The system is surprisingly considerate,’ he thought. If it had all been one big chunk, Su Chen wouldn’t have known how to even begin to use it.
He casually pulled one of the documents out of his system inventory, briefly skimmed it, and then put it back.
It was no use. Su Chen could understand all the individual words, but when they were strung together, he didn’t have a clue.
’I’ll have to take this one step at a time. If you take too big a step, you’ll pull something,’ Su Chen mused. An idea was already forming in his mind: he would have Pei Rang acquire a research institute and study this slowly.
As for handing it over... Su Chen wasn’t that stupid. Setting aside the matter of profit, he couldn’t even begin to explain where he had gotten this stuff from.
Instead of doing that, it would be better to research it himself, start his own chip company, and use the profits to fund research into even more advanced technology. It was a perfect, self-contained plan.
Su Chen couldn’t help but praise himself inwardly, ’You’re a genius!’
’IPS Security Company?’ Su Chen was a little surprised as he looked at the last reward the system had given him.
Besides the company’s share transfer agreement, the only other thing in the system inventory was a black brick phone.
Su Chen took out the black brick phone. It looked similar to the old ’Big Brother’ cell phones, only quite a bit smaller.
"System, what the hell is this thing?" Su Chen asked, tossing the brick phone up and down in his hand.
A message instantly flooded his mind: "The Boss’s Hotline!"
