153: Chapter 153 Wanji Company

With Zero's continuous growth and the support of the supercomputer, it was now possible to capture key information within the Huaxia regional network.

Of course, this was also because the current network was almost entirely open and transparent; the encryption systems of some browsers were like child's play, requiring little effort to decrypt.

In front of Zero, this was equivalent to having no defense at all.

Furthermore, the collection of intrusion tools designed by Han Xiaoxin had elevated Zero's intrusion capabilities by several levels; it was almost as if it had been tailor-made for Zero.

This was equivalent to a strong man who was originally just learning how to cut meat with a knife suddenly acquiring planes and artillery. Even worse, the strong man didn't even need to learn—he knew how to use them instinctively!

The increase in lethality was by no means insignificant.

Otherwise, Wang Shuo would not have let Zero generously grant Han Xiaoxin Level 9 authorization.

As a wage earner, any reward or benefit given to you must be exchanged for double the effort. At least in Han Xiaoxin's case, Wang Shuo had shamelessly become a capitalist and was continuing to study the bloodsucking nature of capitalism, draining spirits dry.

He was just waiting for Han Xiaoxin to return to put it into practice.

After thinking silently for a while, Wang Shuo turned his attention back to the computer in front of him, saved and hid the documents on his desktop, and casually opened a new file, naming it.

"Exploration and Trial Production of Electromagnetic Mutual Effect Superposition Principle and Magnetic Field Force Directional Compression Engine."

On the other side.

Xu Kexin pouted unhappily as she arrived at the second floor, where her exclusive finance office was located, and sat back down at her desk.

As soon as she opened her computer, she saw that Penguin Communications was flashing incessantly.

"Winter Sunshine?"

Xu Kexin stared blankly; who was this?

Frowning, she clicked to accept the friend request, and immediately a message was sent over.

"Hello, I was introduced by President Wang."

Xu Kexin understood; this person was quite efficient. She had just come down from the third floor and hadn't even entered her office yet, and the friend request had already been sent.

Since he was introduced by President Wang to help her, even if it was remote assistance, she should be polite.

"Hello."

Xu Kexin typed: "Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to help me."

"You're welcome," the other party replied. "What can I do to help you?"

This person was very polite, too; the tone was just like a professional customer service representative.

What could he do to help?

"I don't know either." Xu Kexin looked at the files on her desk and felt a headache coming on: "There is too much work; I'm currently a complete mess."

"Don't worry," the other party replied. "Let's take it slow. You can list out the work you want to do in detail, prioritize it, create a plan, and then hand it over to me to handle."

That was a good idea, but... why was this tone so familiar?

Shaking her head, Xu Kexin looked at the cluttered receipts and files, secretly cheering herself on.

Come on, Xu Kexin, you can do it!

...

Huaxia, Taiwan Island.

Xinye City, headquarters of Wanji Semiconductor Circuit Manufacturing Co., Ltd.

As one of the global semiconductor manufacturing giants, the scale of Wanji Company's headquarters was extremely large. However, limited by the restricted land area of Taiwan Island, apart from the factories used for production, only a small portion of the Wanji Company headquarters was used for office space.

But that was only from the perspective of Wanji Company; for other companies, this small portion was a lifelong dream.

Top floor of the headquarters, Huaxia Region Director's office.

A middle-aged man cheerfully handed the file in his hand to the assistant beside him and cheerfully poured himself a glass of red wine.

"Director Zeng, what is this?"

"Take a look, it's a new order for the Huaxia region."

The assistant opened it with confusion.

"Frontier Technology Co., Ltd.?" the assistant asked in surprise. "Is this the client that placed an order a few days ago? Director Zeng, wasn't this order rejected by you?"

"Of course it had to be rejected." Director Zeng chuckled and took a sip of wine: "Although we still have remaining production capacity for next year, we won't let others get a cheap deal. This company wanted us to do free tape-outs for a mere 10 million order; why keep it if not to reject it?"

"Then what about now?"

"Now?" Director Zeng smiled smugly and instructed: "Flip to the back."

The assistant did as instructed and flipped through until the last page.

"How is it?"

Director Zeng asked, gently swirling his wine glass.

"I really admire you, Director Zeng."

The assistant closed the file with a face full of admiration.

"How did you know they wouldn't give up on the order and would agree to our price increase?"

"They needed it too urgently."

Director Zeng smiled: "Besides, in terms of providing 10,000 7nm Chips within fifteen days, besides us, which manufacturer in the world could do it? The United States or South Korea?"

The assistant nodded in deep agreement. Production capacity and technical standards were indeed their company's greatest advantages; neither the United States nor South Korea could compare.

"Besides, I didn't raise the price much this time, only adding 100 RMB per Chip. Considering the price of an SOC Chip, 1000 RMB is already quite reasonable."

The assistant nodded again.

It was true; if it were a CPU Chip, the price would be even higher.

"Calculating it this way, Director Zeng, our Huaxia region's production capacity task will be completed soon, and you can finally hold your head high in front of the President."

Speaking of this, Director Zeng couldn't help but reveal a smile.

Thinking about his experiences over the past year, he felt very frustrated, but things were better now; at the tail end of this year, his luck seemed to have turned around.

This 100 million order was proof.

100 million; even looking at the whole company, this was not a small order.

He needed to seize the time to finalize this matter formally to avoid any further complications.

"The price of this order has risen to 100 million RMB, with an agreement to pay 20 million upfront. Go and coordinate this matter with the President of the Huaxia region company, and have them arrange personnel to coordinate with this company to sign the formal contract as soon as possible."

"By the way, take the opportunity to investigate whether this company is capable of long-term cooperation. After all, a company that can come up with 100 million in funds at once is worth our attention."

The assistant nodded: "Okay, Director Zeng, I will go handle it right now."

Seeing that the assistant was about to leave, Director Zeng's voice came out again.

"Wait."

The assistant stopped.

"Tell the Huazhong region President that if this company is not worth long-term cooperation, raise the breach of contract penalty to the maximum." Director Zeng's eyes flashed with wisdom: "We cannot let the duck in our hands fly away; they must pay the subsequent balance."
