CHAPTER 258: CHAPTER 258: MR. LIN HAS PROBABLY ALREADY REACHED THE REALM OF RETURNING TO SIMPLICITY

Chairman of Zhongwei, Xu Guojun, personally came to Huaxin Company, and was received personally by Huaxin’s Chairman, Zhang Jing.

"Mr. Zhang, Huaxin is willing to lend a hand. On behalf of Zhongwei Company, I thank you, Mr. Zhang!" Xu Guojun sincerely said.

Zhang Jing smiled and said, "How can we not help one of our own? Our Huaxin has this capability, and it’s our duty."

Xu Guojun hesitated for a moment and said, "Regarding this... forgive my frankness, your company’s third announcement stated that your company can now mass-produce 5nm chips. Is this true?"

Xu Guojun’s concern was not unfounded. He knew Huaxin’s technology needed imports. Now Huaxin claims to have achieved a technological breakthrough and no longer relies on foreign imports.

This leap forward is simply astonishing, making it hard not to suspect it’s false.

Perhaps Huaxin is doing this to salvage the downtrend in the stock market and boost the stock price?

If that’s the case, then Zhongwei is celebrating too early.

This is precisely why Xu Guojun came over personally to understand the situation.

Zhang Jing chuckled and said, "I understand Mr. Xu’s concerns, but I can assure Mr. Xu that we are not making false claims. Our technology has truly broken through, and we are soon going to set up a 5nm chip factory."

Xu Guojun curiously asked, "Based on my knowledge of chip technology, the most advanced technology is at TSMC. But even TSMC still needs to import lithography machines, yet your company’s chip technology claims to not depend on imports?"

Zhang Jing proudly said, "That’s right, our chip technology does not require a lithography machine to produce 5nm chips. We can say that our technology has surpassed TSMC’s."

Xu Guojun was greatly shocked, "What? Surpassed TSMC? How is that possible?"

It’s almost unbelievable. There is a huge gap between Huaxin and TSMC. Huaxin only holds a 5% market share, whereas TSMC has over 50%, ten times that of Huaxin.

TSMC’s R&D strength is also ten times that of Huaxin.

No matter how you look at it, it’s hard to believe that Huaxin could overtake TSMC because, under normal circumstances, it’s simply impossible.

Zhang Jing must be boasting!

Zhang Jing said, "Mr. Xu, you may not know, initially, our Huaxin indeed could not surpass TSMC. Under normal circumstances, even given ten years, we couldn’t. But this time, our Huaxin met a benefactor who brought a world-leading technology."

Xu Guojun curiously asked, "A benefactor?"

Zhang Jing smiled and said, "That’s right. Soon, we will announce externally that there is a change in our company’s equity structure. Currently, our company’s largest shareholder has changed, and this largest shareholder is our benefactor."

Xu Guojun asked, "Which company could develop chip technology that leads TSMC’s? Could it be..."

This new largest shareholder of Huaxin Company, Xu Guojun speculated, should be a company, and a high-tech company at that. In this world, the only company that can compete with TSMC head-to-head is a foreign company...

Zhang Jing shook his head, "It’s not a company; it’s a person. Perhaps Mr. Xu has heard of him, Lin Fan, Mr. Lin."

Lin Fan!

Xu Guojun was stunned for a moment, then thought of something, and said in surprise, "Could it be that recently arisen young billionaire, Mr. Lin? My God, Mr. Lin actually took action on Huaxin?"

The wealth of Lin Fan has already spread in the business world. Anyone mixed in the business circle more or less has heard about Lin Fan’s deeds.

This 21-year-old young man has recently been investing crazily in Yun City, buying companies, land, and buildings as if buying cabbages.

How many people in the world can be as wealthy as Lin Fan? Anyone who hears of him would be amazed.

Lin Fan acquired Celestial Aviation, and within a few days, its market value soared from 50 billion to 90 billion!

Lin Fan bought Zhou Tian Mansion, which cannot be bought without hundreds of billions...

Now, this Mr. Lin actually set his sights on the 500 billion enterprise Huaxin Company?

And in one move, became Huaxin’s largest shareholder?

My God!

Xu Guojun felt like his whole family was shocked.

Subsequently, Xu Guojun learned that although Lin Fan is the largest shareholder, he is not the controlling shareholder, only holding 30% of the shares, which allowed him to breathe a little easier.

If Lin Fan had controlled Huaxin, it would be terrifying.

Xu Guojun thought about it and had a doubt.

He knew Lin Fan was rich, but Lin Fan was not just rich, he also brought the world’s leading chip technology!

Where did Lin Fan’s technology come from?

"Mr. Zhang, may I visit Mr. Lin?" Xu Guojun asked, his demeanor becoming very respectful.

Although Zhongwei is a super company in Huaxia, at this moment, Zhongwei places its hopes on Huaxin, and Lin Fan is the key of keys, so he naturally dare not slight him.

Zhang Jing smiled and said, "Mr. Xu is in good timing. Mr. Lin personally crossed the river today and came to the company. He is currently still in the company, chatting and laughing with the shareholders."

Huaxin Company is not in Yun City, nor does it belong to Jiangnan City, but is in North of the River, Jiang City.

Jiang City is just across the river from Yun City.

Today, after Lin Fan became the largest shareholder of Huaxin, Huaxin’s board secretary He Xini personally went to Yun City and brought Lin Fan over the river.

Lin Fan is simply like a dragon descending from the heavens, saving Huaxin from fire and water, and also saved Zhongwei.

A dragon crossing a river!

Xu Guojun thought of this phrase, which is just perfect for Lin Fan.

Introduced by Zhang Jing, Xu Guojun met Lin Fan.

Although Xu Guojun had already heard that Lin Fan was just a 21-year-old young man, he was still surprised when he met Lin Fan in person.

Lin Fan was really too young and extremely handsome. If he were said to be a rising star, it would be entirely believable.

However, Lin Fan’s attire was really simple, all market stall goods!

"This Mr. Lin must have reached the realm of returning to simplicity!"

Seeing Lin Fan’s market stall goods, Xu Guojun was filled with respect, imagining that only those beyond mundane concerns reach such heights, unfettered by appearances.

Lin Fan wearing market stall goods is precisely a manifestation of the highest realm!

If Lin Fan knew what others thought, he might burst out laughing.

"Mr. Lin, hello, I am the Chairman of Zhongwei, Xu Guojun. Nice to meet you." Xu Guojun took the initiative to shake hands with Lin Fan. He, as a chairman, was somewhat nervous.

There was no other way; Lin Fan’s "realm" was too high.

Lin Fan smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Xu."

Xu Guojun said, "Mr. Lin, I heard from Mr. Zhang that you became the largest shareholder of Huaxin and brought the most advanced chip technology. Furthermore, it was you who took the lead in insisting on helping our Zhongwei. Here, on behalf of Zhongwei, I extend the highest respect and gratitude to you, Mr. Lin."

Xu Guojun bowed to Lin Fan in thanks.
