After hanging up the phone, a cold glint flashed in Lin Fan's eyes.
"Zhao Fei, just you wait! I'll show you what it means to reap what you sow!"
The atmosphere in Qihang Technology's finance office was somber.
"Mr. Lin, our cash flow is on the verge of breaking down..." the CFO said with a worried expression. "The suppliers have been pressing us for payment several times already..."
Lin Fan frowned; he knew, of course, how bad the company's financial situation was.
"I understand," Lin Fan said in a low, hoarse voice. "I'll figure something out."
He picked up the phone and dialed the numbers of one supplier after another.
"Mr. Li, this is Lin Fan from Qihang Technology... Yes, we've recently encountered some difficulties... Could you please grant us some time?... Thank you, thank you for your understanding and support!"
"Mr. Wang, this is Lin Fan... I know we owe you a lot of money... But please believe me, we will definitely overcome this difficulty... Once 'Morning Star' is launched, we will repay you as soon as possible!... Thank you, thank you for your trust!"
Lin Fan made phone calls one after another, constantly explaining, pleading, and promising to the suppliers.
His voice grew hoarseer and his face paler, but he still did not give up.
Meanwhile, Ye Yuyan was not idle either.
She was in her office, constantly making phone calls.
"Mr. Zhang, this is Ye Yuyan... Yes, I hope you can consider cooperating with Qihang Technology... The 'Morning Star' chip is a product with great potential... I believe it will definitely bring you substantial returns... Thank you, thank you for your support!"
"Mr. Li, this is Ye Yuyan... I know you've been paying attention to the chip industry... Qihang Technology's 'Morning Star' chip is a product well worth investing in... I believe it will definitely become a market leader... Thank you, thank you for your trust!"
Ye Yuyan made phone calls one after another, constantly introducing the "Qimingxing" chip to potential partners and continuously expanding sales channels for Qihang Technology.
At Phytium Technology, Zhao Fei sat smugly in his office, looking at the sales figures for the "Polaris" chip.
"Haha! 'Polaris' is selling like hotcakes! Qihang Technology, what can you do against me?" Zhao Fei laughed heartily. "Keep up the advertising! I'm going to make 'Polaris' the undisputed king of the chip market!"
He picked up the phone and dialed the marketing department's number: "Increase the publicity! At all costs! I want everyone to know that the 'Polaris' chip is the best chip in the world!"
"Mr. Zhao, our cash flow is very tight..." the CFO cautiously reminded him.
"What's there to be afraid of? As long as 'Polaris' can defeat 'Morning Star,' we can get funding, and then we'll have as much money as we want," Zhao Fei said dismissively.
He had no idea that a huge crisis was approaching him.
Phytium Technology's marketing department began engaging in rampant false advertising.
They produced all sorts of advertisements and bombarded the media with them.
"The 'Polaris' chip outperforms the 'Morning Star' chip by ten times!"
"The 'Polaris' chip reduces power consumption by 50%!"
"The 'Polaris' chip makes your phone fly!"
Exaggerated advertising in all sorts of ways has flooded the market, attracting the attention of countless consumers.
However, these false claims have also drawn criticism from some industry professionals.
"Is the performance of the 'Polaris' chip really that good? I don't think so."
"How could the power consumption of the 'Polaris' chip be reduced so much? This doesn't make sense!"
"Phytium Technology, you are deceiving consumers!"
Various doubts began to spread online.
"Polaris or Morning Star, which is stronger?"
"BetX Technology and Qihang Technology, who is the real technology innovator?"
Where will the chip market go in the future?
The discussions became increasingly heated, attracting the attention of major media outlets.
"To answer the questions from our viewers, we have invited Mr. Lin Fan from Qihang Technology and Mr. Zhao Fei from Phytium Technology to our studio today for a live explanation," a TV host said to the camera.
Lin Fan and Zhao Fei sat on opposite sides of the studio, locked in a fierce confrontation.
"Mr. Zhao Fei, please tell us about the advantages of the 'Polaris' chip," the host said.
"The 'Polaris' chip is the latest generation chip independently developed by Phytium Technology. It adopts the most advanced manufacturing process, has the most powerful performance, and the lowest power consumption. It is currently the best chip on the market!" Zhao Fei said proudly.
"Mr. Lin Fan, what are your thoughts on the 'Polaris' chip?" the host asked.
"The 'Polaris' chip is a shoddy product that plagiarizes the 'Morning Star' chip," Lin Fan said bluntly. "It not only stole our technology but also engaged in false advertising, deceiving consumers. This behavior is extremely shameful!"
"You're talking nonsense!" Zhao Fei roared in anger. "'Polaris' chip was independently developed by Phytium Technology! It has nothing to do with your Qihang Technology!"
"Is that so?" Lin Fan sneered. "In that case, please explain why the architecture of the 'Polaris' chip is so similar to that of the 'Morning Star' chip? Why are the performance indicators of the 'Polaris' chip so close to those of the 'Morning Star' chip?"
"This...this is just a coincidence!" Zhao Fei stammered.
"Coincidence? There aren't that many coincidences in the world." Lin Fan pressed on, "Zhao Fei, do you dare to show everyone the source code of the 'Polaris' chip?"
"I..." Zhao Fei's face turned pale. He knew that he had nowhere to retreat.
"Alright, that's all for today's program." The host interrupted their argument. "I believe that our viewers now have a basic understanding of the 'Polaris' chip and the 'Morning Star' chip. As for the truth, only time will tell."
Lin Fan calmly got up and left, a cold smile playing on his lips. He knew that through this interview, he had already dealt a powerful blow to Zhao Fei in terms of public opinion.
Lin Yue lay on the clean, soft hospital bed in the sanatorium, sunlight streaming through the window and warming her body.
She was holding a psychology book and reading it intently.
"Lin Yue, how are you feeling today?" The psychologist walked into the ward and asked with a smile.
"I feel much better." Lin Yue raised her head, a long-lost smile on her face. "I have learned how to control my emotions and how to face my anxiety."
"Very good." The psychologist nodded in satisfaction. "You've made rapid progress. Keep up the good work, and I believe you will make a full recovery."
"Thank you, doctor," Lin Yue said gratefully. "You gave me hope and helped me find myself again."
