CHAPTER 256: CHAPTER 256: WITH THIS TECHNOLOGY, EVERYONE MUST KNEEL!

No one believed Lin Fan’s words at all.

Currently, the company with the most advanced chip manufacturing technology is TSMC, capable of mass-producing 5nm chips, achieved with over ten thousand research personnel, making it unrivaled among chip companies worldwide.

Huaxin is even further behind.

Huaxin currently has only 1,000 research personnel and can only mass-produce 14nm chips, relying on imported equipment and technology from the United States.

Even so, Huaxin is currently the most top-notch chip manufacturing company in Huaxia, apart from TSMC.

This shows how backward Huaxia’s chip manufacturing technology is.

Even with significant national financial and human resource investment, catching up to the world’s advanced level is extremely difficult; the process of catching up is very long and even quite uncertain.

Currently, there is only one company in the world that can compete with TSMC, but it is not in Huaxia, nor is it Huaxin.

In this context, Lin Fan claimed that he had chip manufacturing technology that could replace U.S. suppliers and even surpass TSMC, leading the world, so naturally, no one would believe it.

Because those familiar with the situation know this is simply impossible.

This boast has truly reached the sky.

"Mr. Lin, do you believe what you just said?" Zhang Jing wiped his cold sweat and asked.

Everyone else was also sweating, not expecting Huaxin Company’s largest shareholder to be such a person. With such a person in control of the company, the company was probably doomed.

Zhang Jing became more convinced that Lin Fan was here to destroy Huaxin.

Lin Fan is too terrifying. To destroy Huaxin, he even became the largest shareholder. Even if he has money, there’s no need to be this capricious, right?

Lin Fan remained calm and said, "If I really have the technology, who in the company understands technology the best? Invite them over, and I’ll discuss it with them."

Everyone looked at each other, wondering why Lin Fan was so calm if he was just bragging. Did he really mean to confront a technical expert? Wouldn’t that cause him to crash?

Zhang Jing said, "No need to look for someone else. I am the chief engineer. Mr. Lin can talk to me about technology."

Zhang Jing spoke with a hint of sarcasm, feeling that Lin Fan, trying to show off, would soon be unable to keep it up.

Although Zhang Jing was the chairman, he came from a technical background and was indeed Huaxin’s chief engineer. He fully represented Huaxin’s highest technical level, and only he was qualified to talk with Lin Fan.

Lin Fan responded, "Okay then, I’ll talk to you about 5nm chip technology..."

Lin Fan began to talk about the top-tier chip manufacturing technology he had just acquired, using all professional terminology and complex technical data.

Those present who did not understand technology listened in confusion, unable to follow along, each displaying a look of subconscious awe.

At first, Zhang Jing listened with disdain, ready to hear Lin Fan’s nonsense. As he listened, Zhang Jing straightened his posture and became engrossed.

As it continued, Zhang Jing was drenched in cold sweat.

By the end of Lin Fan’s talk, the crowd suddenly realized that Zhang Jing had knelt.

He was truly kneeling, filled with excitement.

What?

Everyone was shocked; they all wondered what Lin Fan had said to make Zhang Jing kneel?

"Lin Fan must be outrageous; the chairman couldn’t take it anymore, pleading for him to stop talking."

Everyone thought so.

"Mr. Lin, you truly possess top-tier chip technology. Please accept my reverence!" Zhang Jing excitedly bowed to Lin Fan.

Everyone was dumbfounded, puzzled at what was happening here.

Lin Fan smiled and said, "Do you believe me now?"

Zhang Jing nodded, "Mr. Lin, your technology is absolutely world-leading. My God, how did you come to possess such advanced technology?"

Zhang Jing was simultaneously in indescribable admiration and growing curiosity.

The chip manufacturing technology that Lin Fan had just described to him, he could affirm, was absolutely world-leading. Even TSMC’s technology would be slightly inferior!

In fact, chip manufacturing is an intricate technology that relies on a precision device called a lithography machine, a piece of equipment currently unavailable in Huaxia and instead must be imported.

The more intricate the chip, the more it depends on a lithography machine. A 5nm chip is currently utterly dependent on it, even for TSMC, which possesses the most advanced technology.

However, the 5nm chip technology Lin Fan just described could do away with the lithography machine!

With this technology, there is no need to import equipment from abroad, and mass production of 5nm chips can be realized.

No wonder Zhang Jing knelt down.

With this technology, anyone would kneel!

What Zhang Jing did not know was that the technology Lin Fan had just described was not even the most advanced. The system had rewarded Lin Fan with top-tier chip manufacturing technology, and this 5nm technology was just the lowest level among them...

And this lowest level was already the most advanced in the world...

Lin Fan was not fully aware of the world chip technology and, hearing Zhang Jing speak like this, he curiously asked, "Oh, is this already world-leading? Can it defeat the top-ranked company?"

Zhang Jing, sweating, said, "Of course it can, Mr. Lin. Did you not know this was world-leading?"

Lin Fan replied, "I didn’t know. I just picked the simplest one to tell you. I have even more powerful technologies..."

Zhang Jing was astonished.

What?

Lin Fan had even more advanced technology than the one he just mentioned?

This shock was truly significant.

What kind of existence was Lin Fan? An alien, possessing technology that surpassed the Earth?

Now Zhang Jing no longer thought Lin Fan was bluffing, for Lin Fan had already proven himself. Just the technology he had just mentioned was already world-leading!

Zhang Jing had every reason to believe that Lin Fan possessed even more advanced technology.

What is a technology more advanced than 5nm?

4nm.

3nm.

2nm.

1nm.

Even science fiction-like quantum chips...

Upon thinking of this, Zhang Jing knelt thoroughly, kneeling obediently.

"Mr. Lin, please accept my knees. Earlier, I was blind to your greatness and offended you. I hope you can forgive me. As long as you allow me to stay by your side, I’m willing to do anything." Zhang Jing implored.

His only wish now was to stay and work for Lin Fan. He had realized that as long as he followed Lin Fan, unlimited potential awaited, and he would learn things he couldn’t elsewhere.

In his judgment, Huaxin Company was destined to become the strongest chip company in the world, surpassing TSMC, with the only question being time, and it wouldn’t be long.

This was previously unthinkable; now it was certain.

Lin Fan felt a bit of a chill. Zhang Jing was too exaggerative, and besides, what could he do with a middle-aged man?

However, this new fanboy of his was somewhat useful for Huaxin Company. From his earlier arguments with Lin Fan, it could be seen that Zhang Jing was indeed very loyal to the company.

Lin Fan smiled and said, "I said from the beginning, I’m not here for you; I’m here to change the company’s decisions. Do you agree with my decision now?"

Zhang Jing immediately said, "I agree. Mr. Lin’s decision was so right; we were foolish before!"

At this point, everyone could be sure that Lin Fan truly possessed the most advanced chip technology in the world!

Huaxin had indeed freed itself from the constraints of the United States!

Subsequently, Huaxin Company swiftly issued an announcement, strongly declaring that it would support Zhongwei Company in manufacturing high-end chips!

The news shook the entire nation.
