Taking advantage of the beauty being poor, fooling her into being my girlfriend - Chapter 695

Chapter 695: Chapter 695: Continuing to Pester Would Be Rude

“Thirty percent,” Lu Chao replied.

“That’s somewhat low,” Jiang Xu frowned.

Companies like TAIKUN ELECTRONICS can achieve a yield rate of over eighty percent for their chips.

“We’ve only just managed to make them,” Lu Chao spread his hands, “Given a bit more time, we can definitely raise the yield rate.”

Jiang Xu nodded.

Indeed, being able to produce 14-nanometer chips two years ahead of foreign competitors was already an incredibly huge and unexpected surprise.

Once the yield rate improved, they could not only sell domestically but also export them.

Previously, the domestic import of chips was around 400 billion Mei Gold annually.

Foreigners made a killing off of it.

Now, they could finally start their counterattack.

And Jiang Xu’s net worth climbing to a trillion was no longer far off.

At the latest, by the end of next year.

“Right, now that the 14-nanometer chips are out, we should also get started on researching the 7-nanometer ones,” Jiang Xu said.

“That will be quite difficult,” Ni Guangnan shook his head, “We need a new generation of photolithography machines, and that will take at least five years.”

A thought struck Jiang Xu.

He remembered a news story from his previous life.

At that time, domestic chips were being sanctioned, and photolithography machines were far behind.

But a big shot had an idea.

Since photolithography machines needed to be shipped worldwide, they couldn’t be too large in size.

That way, they would be easier to transport.

But if we were using them ourselves and didn’t need to export them, why not make them as large as possible?

In short, trading off size for process.

If a foreign photolithography machine was the size of a bathroom, then we should build one the size of a football field.

With increased size, the requirements for the technology and components would be greatly reduced.

If I can’t produce a hair-thin copper wire, can’t I produce one as thick as a fist?

If there were drawbacks, it would be that it takes up more space and uses more electricity.

But as a country rich in land and resources, those were the two things we lacked the least.

Thus, Jiang Xu shared this idea with Ni Guangnan.

Upon hearing it, Ni Guangnan slapped his thigh in excitement, his eyes shining, “This is a great idea, haha, I think it’s very doable!”

He walked back and forth excitedly, “In this way, the difficulty level can be reduced by at least sixty percent.

In just two to three years, we could be manufacturing 7-nanometer chips.

Jiang Xu, you’re truly a genius!”

Jiang Xu smiled.

It wasn’t that he was a genius; it was the scientific researchers of my country who were geniuses.

He was merely an unemotional repeater.

“There are two more things,” Jiang Xu said with a serious expression, “First, the fact that we have developed the 14-nanometer chip cannot be leaked for the time being.

All technical staff involved in the development must be controlled.

Second, every technical staff directly involved in the development should receive a bonus of fifty million.

Ni, you get two billion.”

Lu Chao nodded his head.

This money must be given.

There should be no skimping on the bonuses for the technical staff.

Ni Guangnan initially did not want to accept it.

It was Jiang Xu and Lu Chao’s insistence that made him agree.

After leaving the R&D lab, Jiang Xu called Wang Zhang to ask how the research and development of the next generation of smartphones was going.

Wang Zhang said that they could be announced after the New Year’s, around February or March.

Jiang Xu hinted at him that there was no need to use the existing chips for the flagship model anymore.

Wang Zhang’s spirit was lifted, “What do you mean by that?”

Jiang Xu, “Take it literally; you’ll find out when the time comes.”

Wang Zhang was immensely excited.

On the way back, seeing a stall selling baked potatoes, he got out of the car to buy a couple of servings.

Just as he finished paying and was about to put away his phone, he saw several photos sent by Yikali.

They were her selfies.

Each one with a different look, all in her signature cute style.

And then he also sent a voice message.

“Brother Jiang, are you asleep? Which of these clothes do you think is better?”

Jiang Xu: “…”

He shook his head, put away his phone, and did not plan to reply just then.

He would wait until tomorrow to respond, saying he was already asleep just now.

After getting home, he had a teppanyaki potato meal with An Nuonuo before going to sleep.

On the other side, Yi Feng and Yikali were still eagerly waiting for the young couple’s reply.

But they got none.

Especially Yi Feng, he felt awful.

Even a fool could tell what An Nuonuo meant by not replying.

No reply was a silent rejection.

If he were to persist further, it would be impolite.

Yet Yi Feng really did not want to give up so easily.

Because An Nuonuo was just too tempting.

He decided to give it another try.

He would think of giving up only if it really didn’t work out.

So, in the middle of the night, he sent another Weixin message to An Nuonuo: Are you there? Have you gone to sleep?

Naturally, he received no response.

The next day, after eating breakfast, Jiang Xu arrived at the office and began dealing with various matters.

As the year-end approached, the workload suddenly increased.

Ally brought over a personnel transfer document for Jiang Xu to sign.

Jiang Xu took a look.

It included Wu Mengmeng and Liu Yue.

He found out after asking in detail that the two of them had performed quite well in the company.

They had started interning at the company since the summer holidays.

Instead of slacking off because they knew Jiang Xu well, they were exceptionally diligent.

Being roommates with An Nuonuo and so hard-working, Jiang Xu naturally would not hesitate to promote them.

After signing the document, Ally had just left with the files when she came back again not long after.

“Boss, there’s a girl named Yikali outside who wants to see you.”

“Oh, let her wait in the reception room and tell her I’m still busy, and I will see her later.” Jiang Xu slapped his forehead, realizing he had forgotten to reply to her this morning.

In truth, after finding out that Yikali wanted to interfere with his relationship with An Nuonuo, he had already lost any shred of fondness for this girl.

Now, he was merely maintaining a superficial harmony.

But who would have thought that she would take the initiative to come over?

“All right, boss.”

After Ally left, Jiang Xu continued with the tasks at hand.

Around ten o’clock, he went to check on the gaming department.

Mainly to see how far the King’s mobile game had progressed.

It wasn’t particularly urgent before.

But now that the 14 nanometer chips had been developed ahead of schedule, the pace of the mobile game also needed to be accelerated.

After playing a few rounds, Jiang Xu noticed.

You could play, but there were areas that still needed optimization.

At the same time, there was one major issue, which was data consumption.

In the past life, King’s game became popular not because it was outstanding.

It was entirely because E Factory held the two big weapons of QQ and Weixin.

Your friends played it, inviting you to join, and it kept spreading virally.

But if there was no support from chat software, the difficulties to shine bright were very high.

However, Jiang Xu also had a solution for this.

After experiencing the game, he gave the manager of the game department new instructions.

The development of the mobile game had to accelerate.

By February of the following year, at least twenty different types of mobile games had to be developed.

Time flew by and soon it was noon.

However, Jiang Xu still had not met with Yikali.
