250: Chapter 251 Spin-off Listing: Kidnapping European Tycoons!

"I intend to use this fortune, vast enough to influence the economic lifeline of all of Europe, to bind every top-tier elite on the European continent tightly to the war chariot of Jiyuan Technology.

From this moment on, anyone who dares to touch our semiconductors on the international stage is smashing the rice bowls of the European Old Money groups—they are threatening their very lives!"

Three o'clock in the afternoon.

In the fully enclosed conference room on the top floor, the heavy wooden doors were pushed open from the outside by two security personnel.

The "Eight Shanghai Giants," who had been sitting on the sofa whispering to each other, were seized by an invisible force the moment they saw Shen Du step across the threshold, and they all stood up straight in unison.

This young man, who had crawled out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood in Kabul Valley, no longer carried the sharp, need-to-borrow-leverage edge he once had.

All that remained was a sense of dominion that made people afraid to even breathe too loudly.

Shen Du offered no polite pleasantries and walked straight to the head of the table to take his seat.

"Bang."

He casually tossed two palm-sized, shock-resistant, locked black boxes onto the dark-colored coffee table.

"Everyone."

Shen Du rested his elbows on his knees, his deep, highly oppressive gaze sweeping across the room like a blade:

"The big picture in Europe has been finalized.

Now, it is time to reveal our true trump card."

With a "click," the combination lock sprang open.

Resting quietly inside was a finished chip with a faint blue luster, along with a set of architectural blueprints stamped with a top-secret seal.

"Jiyuan Technology holds 'Cold Etching Machine' technology that is more than a generation ahead of its time, as well as a 'brand-new underlying architecture' that operates independently of the Western system.

These two things are the engine and the blueprints for the global chip empire of the next fifty years."

Shen Du's voice was not loud, but every word carried immense weight.

The giants' breathing instantly became heavy; they knew all too well what kind of terrifying wealth and power these two trump cards represented.

"But I, Shen Du, cannot manufacture tens of billions of chips alone to dump on the global market."

Shen Du's tone shifted abruptly, becoming extremely cold and hard:

"If I want to turn these blueprints into products that genuinely crush Europe and America, I need an industrial base large enough to support half the world's production capacity."

He suddenly looked up, his gaze nailing itself firmly onto Fu Zhaonan:

"CEO Fu!"

This leader of Shanghai Merchants real estate, who could make the ground of The Bund shake with a mere stomp of his foot on any given day, shuddered violently and instinctively responded:

"Here!"

"I don't care how many properties you are currently holding; from today on, completely abandon traditional residential real estate!

Shift entirely to industrial real estate!"

Shen Du issued a direct, non-negotiable death order:

"I want you to spare no expense to build a global, top-standard, earthquake-proof, temperature-controlled, Class 10 cleanroom wafer fab fortress for Jiyuan Technology's Cold Etching Machine and chip foundry lines!

If there is even a single mistake, you can bring me your head!"

"Understood!"

Fu Zhaonan's face flushed red, and he did not hesitate for a second.

Shen Du turned his head to look at Qin Zhengye (a communications and thermal power giant), his tone even sharper:

"Old Qin, a wafer fab is an electricity-devouring beast.

You are responsible for pouring money into a dedicated, independent thermal power and ultra-high voltage micro-grid.

I absolutely will not allow our factory to scrap an entire furnace of wafers because of a one-second power outage!

At the same time, your Sheng Tang Communications must be the first to fully master the new architecture.

Develop the baseband chip adapted for the 5G era and make it the first super-application field for the new architecture!"

"CEO Su!"

Shen Du gave no one a chance to breathe, his gaze locking onto the leader of medical biopharmaceuticals, Su Yunjing.

"Chip manufacturing is, at its core, the most advanced chemical engineering."

Shen Du cut straight to the point:

"I want you to mobilize all your top chemical and pharmaceutical R&D teams.

Go all out to tackle core consumables like high-end photoresist and electronic-grade hydrofluoric acid.

The West wants to choke us on chemical raw materials.

I want you to lead the team yourself and chop their hands off, one by one!"

Shen Du spoke extremely fast, giving no one any time to catch their breath.

His gaze immediately slammed toward the leader of the traditional big three, Wu Tianheng.

"Old Wu, you hold the largest heavy asset portfolio and the deepest overseas network."

Shen Du's knuckles rapped heavily on the table:

"To make chips, you need silicon!

I want you to use all your channels and spend heavily to acquire the world's highest-quality quartz mines and rare earth mines.

Focus on the purification of large-scale semiconductor-grade monocrystalline silicon wafers of twelve inches or more.

Control the supply chain for all metallic and non-metallic raw materials for hardware equipment for me!"

The muscles on Wu Tianheng's weathered old face tightened, and without any hesitation, he nodded solemnly.

"CEO Zhu!"

Shen Du shifted his gaze slightly, instantly locking onto Zhu Qingshan:

"Once the chips are made, they still need to be dressed.

You lead the effort to establish the world's largest and highest-yield high-end chip packaging and testing base!

Focus relentlessly on 2.5D and 3D advanced packaging technology to complete the final industrial hurdle before our chips leave the factory!"

Zhu Qingshan clenched his fist and responded in a deep voice.

Before the others could recover, Shen Du turned his head directly to look at the grave-faced internet e-commerce giant, Chen Mingyuan.

"A brand-new architecture detached from the current mainstream system is nothing but a pile of expensive scrap metal if no one writes code for it and no software can run on it!"

Shen Du's eyes were extremely sharp:

"Old Chen, you have the largest army of programmers in the country.

I want you to immediately lead your people to forcibly develop compatible compilers, underlying operating systems, and cloud servers based on our new architecture!

Use your massive e-commerce server cluster as a test field.

Use money and manpower to forcefully smash out a brand-new software ecosystem moat for me!"

Chen Mingyuan, having been named, felt his scalp tingle.

But what surged up next was the fanaticism of participating in overturning the global technological landscape.

He gritted his teeth hard and nodded vigorously.

"Finally."

Shen Du took a deep breath, his sharp gaze finally falling on the calmest "old fox" in the room, Zhou Zhenghai.

"Once the new architecture and the Cold Etching Machine are released on a large scale, Wall Street's financial strangulation and Silicon Valley's patent trolls will absolutely swarm us like rabid dogs."

Shen Du's voice carried a chilling sense of murderous intent:

"CEO Zhou, you are not responsible for the technology.

You are responsible for coordinating the hundreds of billions in capital pools from our companies and immediately establishing complex offshore financial channels to prevent supply disruptions.

At the same time, go and cultivate the world's top legal teams to build an impenetrable global patent and legal firewall for Jiyuan Technology!"

"Leave it to me."

Zhou Zhenghai pushed up the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, a flash of bloodthirsty glint in his eyes.

As the final piece of the puzzle was cold-bloodedly and precisely cut and locked into place, the air in the entire enclosed conference room was instantly ignited.

There was no nonsense or buck-passing.

They had already been executing this plan, but they were still in the exploratory stage before.

With the European cooperation now finalized, there was no longer any room for hesitation or maneuver.
