You wouldn't believe it until you did the math, and the results were shocking.
Su Wu discovered that he might have a talent for squandering money.
To make some money, he resorted to stealing, cheating, and robbing.
As a result, the huge sum of money they had painstakingly acquired was gone in just one month.
At this point, he only had about 5 billion left, which was practically destitute.
You have to understand that once the lab is built, this amount of money won't be enough for him to burn through.
Even with his pseudo-technical support, the laboratory was a bottomless pit.
Looking at the research projects he had listed, Su Wu felt completely numb.
Chip manufacturing technology, chip application technology, smartphone R&D, independent computer R&D...
Which of these projects isn't a money-burning venture?
Even if he was really taking it seriously, it would still be an unpredictable expense.
"Even if I have existing technology, I can't just release all of it at once; it has to be guiding."
"Moreover, the necessary research process is required, and a research and development path must be left behind, otherwise there will be considerable trouble."
"The most troublesome part is the research and development of applied technologies. This is even more troublesome than materials research and development. There is no cheap way to do it."
Holding his forehead and whispering, Su Wu was filled with emotion.
The money came quickly and went even faster, completely outpacing the speed at which he burned through it.
If it weren't for the fact that all his industries are now profitable, he would have loved to rob international banks.
Watching helplessly as the little money in his hand went nowhere, he felt a pang of pain.
It seems that holding a golden bowl while eating a steamed bun for the sake of one's ideals is not a happy thing.
Suddenly, for no apparent reason, he thought of the arrogant and overbearing faces of Yao Junjun, Hu Xiaotian, and Hu Zeqing.
Even though he's so rich, he still hasn't managed to cultivate a sophisticated image.
Su Wu scratched his head, wondering if he had been too modest.
But he had no experience in this area and didn't know whether to be high-profile or low-profile.
He may be high-profile, but the source of his funds remains a problem, and being targeted by those with ulterior motives is always a troublesome issue.
Keep a low profile. With his tendency to attract trouble, he might get into trouble again at any time.
Ultimately, it comes down to a lack of foundation; they dare not be too reckless.
Especially since he was questioned by the organization a few days ago.
The higher authorities require that no matter what methods he uses, he must be targeted and leave no evidence against him.
Therefore, Su Wu had to sigh that developing under the technological blockade was truly a thorny path.
With a helpless sigh, he slumped down in front of his computer and began deleting news articles about Ruyang chips one by one.
He doesn't need to worry about international affairs; under information blockade, no one is willing to do publicity for them.
As for the domestic situation, he will delete some negative and exaggerated news.
In this way, the scope of public opinion will continue to shrink until it becomes a topic of discussion within the industry.
Not having enough money and having too many trivial matters made Su Wu very irritable.
Just then, he finally received news about underground banks.
After several months of investigation, the expert he hired finally obtained a fairly detailed intelligence report for him.
Hu Zeqing and Liu Gengshuo own a company called Shuobo International Trade.
Of course, the person in charge was Liu Gengshuo.
This company's trade volume is staggering; last year, its trade volume reached a staggering 8 billion.
However, according to professional analysis, these accounts are highly inflated, almost entirely fabricated.
Furthermore, there is more than one so-called underground bank; they are distributed throughout various coastal cities.
Every underground bank has a public identity and is inextricably linked to Shuobo International Trade.
They use various pretexts to facilitate the inflow and outflow of funds, but in reality, they are just laundering money.
However, this company is cautious and does not use online transfers frequently.
Especially after Hu Zeqing's incident, it was no longer used.
This left Su Wu scratching his head; it seemed they weren't giving him a chance to demonstrate his abilities.
Moreover, their individual transactions were not very large, and they were unaware that Su Wu had intervened.
He wouldn't risk being caught for a hundred or two hundred million.
But it wouldn't be in his nature to do nothing in the face of such a malignant tumor.
Now he can only wait for the right opportunity and make further plans.
As time went on, the fact that Ruyang Electronics Technology Co., Ltd. was producing 180-nanometer chips eventually had some impact.
The first to suffer are the international chip suppliers who rely on China for their livelihood.
They jumped out to question China's production capacity, believing it to be a scam.
Some companies even came forward to spread rumors that Ruyang Electronics infringed on their intellectual property rights.
Although they blocked international news, it didn't stop them from causing trouble in China.
As a result, Gao Qiang and other senior executives of Ruyang Electronics Technology were confronted by reporters at the company's entrance.
The question that everyone is most concerned about is where their technology came from.
Having prepared in advance, Gao Qiang remained calm and immediately held a press conference.
At the press conference, he presented a long list of OEM partners.
This list includes at least ten companies of varying sizes, all of which are overseas.
"This list fully proves that we have the legal intellectual property rights to produce 180-nanometer chips. As for the source of our technology, that is a trade secret and we cannot disclose it."
Gao Qiang has made his stance clear: the technology was not developed by us, but everyone can use their imagination to fill in the blanks.
With so many partners, you can guess which one they're buying from.
This is very awkward.
