Chapter 684 The Bait in Action



The missing individuals are Herman Hauser and Dukeban Yesser, two of the core creators of the ARM chip. Dukeban worked as Herman Hauser's assistant, and he completed much of the core work on ARM. If we exclude the founder who provided funding, these two would be considered the original creators.

Upon learning of the two missing persons, Xing Baohua expressed surprise and anger, tried her best to find them through the media, and reported the incident to the police.

Everything was handled in accordance with the relevant procedures.

That's a bit of an artful way of putting it. What are the relevant procedures? Seeking help from all parties when an employee goes missing, right? Anyway, those two foreigners are not important to Xing Baohua at all. If it weren't for the timing and the fear of causing any misunderstandings, Xing Baohua would have already been thinking of killing them.

To be precise, they want to take over ARM entirely. Our team has already cracked all the core components, so any profits generated from that will practically be free.

In the subsequent changes to Loongson, Xing Baohua didn't want them involved anymore. The practice of discarding those who have served their purpose is selective.

Now that's great! When you're feeling sleepy, someone brings you a pillow. What a wonderful thing!

Of course, appearances still need to be maintained, otherwise it's easy to give others a handle to say that Xing Baohua is cold-hearted.

"HK, someone has gone missing over there?" Captain Han asked, frowning.

"Yes! The missing people are the core creators of ARM, the chip company I acquired in the Great Eagle Empire. They used the core chips from this company to manufacture Loongson 1 and Loongson 2. ARM was created by these two foreign devils. Without this core structure, there would be no mobile platform chips in the world."

"Such an important person has gone missing, and you're not worried at all? It seems they hold almost no place in your heart?" Captain Han said with a smile.

“I’m the kind of person who likes to discard someone after they’ve served their purpose. Now that someone has helped me remove the millstone and even helped me kill it, how do you think I should thank them?” Xing Baohua followed with a bright smile.

"I need your help with things in Hong Kong. When you go out tomorrow, try to avoid crowded places. If any innocent people are injured or killed, you'll be held responsible."

"I can't just keep running around construction sites!"

"That's a good reason! It's a factory worth over 10 billion, isn't it normal for you to keep an eye on it? Anyway, the construction site is spacious, so even if something explodes, the damage won't be significant." Captain Han finished speaking and left.

After seeing Captain Han off, Xing Baohua discussed the operation to act as bait for tomorrow's trip with the guards. They made detailed plans regarding how to travel safely, in case there was no support, etc.

The only problem is the lack of vehicles. The wrecked cars are still usable, just a bit ugly. As long as it's not nighttime, you don't need lights during the day. So what if they're ugly? Life is more important.

Even with other personnel arriving, the lack of vehicles meant that support couldn't be delivered quickly. Xing Baohua then contacted Xie Yingying to see if they could get a few vehicles from SAIC as soon as possible. This was the fastest solution, and they had to make do.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the Volkswagen Santana is cheap in Xing Baohua's eyes; without connections, it's really hard to get a few of those cars.

With the help of the China Merchants Group, it's not difficult to get four or five cars. We can use them as official vehicles at the factory. If all else fails, we can donate them to Captain Han and his team. They definitely won't mind, and the cars are cheap.

The next day, after having breakfast, Xing Baohua put on a bulletproof vest and told Su Ya to wait for him at home.

The construction site helmet was ready, and he prayed that it would be somewhat useful.

So we went to inspect the wafer fab in a grand and orderly manner. We had already finished the inspection yesterday, but something went wrong.

“Our personnel were deployed there last night, and the surrounding terrain has been surveyed. We are focusing our attention on high-rise buildings within two kilometers,” the bodyguard told Xing Baohua as he got into the car.

"Within two kilometers? Do you think you can hit my head or body from two kilometers away?" Xing Baohua asked.

"Theoretically, 1,500 meters is the limit. At 2,000 meters, your chances of survival are very high, unless the opponent misses and doesn't aim at you."

"What kind of talk is that! You mean, if you aim at me, I might survive, but if you aim at someone else, you'll just shoot me? Even a crooked weapon wouldn't be this crooked." Xing Baohua said, laughing in anger.

The guard shook his head and smiled bitterly, saying, "I really can't explain it to you in a short time. Those who can hit their targets at a distance of over 1,500 meters on the battlefield are top-notch experts. In the Southwest Region, I only know two people who can do this. I don't know how many people in the entire army can do it, probably very few, but there are many around 1,000 meters. Above that is 1,300 meters. If an expert who can reach 2,000 meters were to ambush you, you would be dead already."

Xing Baohua nodded, indicating his agreement.

The guard continued, "When you get to the construction site, try to follow us. Remember not to walk in open areas, and try to walk close to walls or places with obstacles."

"Okay," Xing Baohua nodded in response.

He arrived at the construction site quickly, where the general manager of the wafer fab's contracted project and the supervisor sent from Shanghai were waiting for him.

First, I went to the office for a short meeting to report on the project's progress to Xing Baohua. Then, Xing Baohua went to the underground laboratory to check on the progress.

The pit for the basement has been dug, and reinforced concrete walls are currently being poured on both sides.

Due to the soft geology and abundant groundwater, the project was much more difficult, requiring simultaneous excavation and pumping of water.

The project manager who accompanied them was also complaining, about how difficult it was to pump water. He was complaining to Xing Baohua so that they would have a reason to increase the budget.

Pumping water is often the most profitable business, and Xing Baohua actually knew that.

In his previous life, he had a classmate who worked in engineering. The classmate would often ask him for money to help him out, but he always paid back the money readily. Xing Baohua would lend him money every time he asked, though it wasn't much, only a few tens of thousands of yuan.
