248: Global reporters gather!

However, amidst a chorus of criticism, the netizen named “Shishi Wuchang 191” remained unyielding.

He then seemed stimulated, continuously posting multiple replies, but it was clear that his replies would only invite more criticism in the current situation.

90% of netizens were calling him a traitor, accusing him of fawning over foreign things and lacking backbone, but a small portion of people believed him and defended him, claiming the news was fake and a rumor.

Under these circumstances, the incident did not stop developing, and the news that Shuguang Technology was restricted from large-scale procurement of mid-to-high-end mobile phone components was successively reported by other media.

After Nanfang Metropolitan Daily first exposed this matter, reporters from major newspapers across the country and even the Four Major Mobile Phone Giants’ internet portals also interviewed and reported related news.

Among them, the vast majority of readers cursed the Four Major Mobile Phone Giants as despicable for engaging in such contemptible petty tricks.

But a small number of people claimed it was just a rumor and did not believe that the dignified Four Major Mobile Phone Giants would resort to such petty tricks, insisting it must be malicious slander from Shuguang Technology.

The difference in opinion between the internet and reality was significant, like night and day.

Regarding Shuguang Technology being suppressed by the Four Major Mobile Phone Giants and restricted from large-scale procurement of mid-to-high-end mobile phone components, 90% of 100 netizens on the internet believed it and cursed the Four Major Mobile Phone Giants.

The remaining 10% of netizens defended the Four Major Mobile Phone Giants, believing it should be a rumor, claiming that the Four Major Mobile Phone Giants could not do this, and that the dignified Four Major Mobile Phone Giants had no need to do so.

However, the proportion of people in reality who considered it a rumor was different from the internet; the proportion of people in reality who defended the Four Major Mobile Phone Giants was not just 10%, but as high as 35%!

This undeniably shows that in reality, many Great Xia people indeed believe that foreign moons are rounder than Great Xia’s, that everything foreign is good, and that foreign giant enterprises are bright and magnificent.

But they do not know that in the early 20th century, those business giants were not always Be disciplined and abide by the law (abiding by rules and laws) when doing business.

When giants could not compete through legitimate business means or the other party refused to give the giants key patents, it was common for them to “invite you to eat peanuts” (a euphemism for assassination).

In the new century, those business giants merely resorted to petty tricks to restrict Shuguang Technology from large-scale procurement of mid-to-high-end mobile phone components, which is actually quite rule-abiding!

However, regardless of their differing views, it is a fact that news related to Shuguang Technology caused a sensation throughout Great Xia within just two days, sparking widespread discussion.

These news stories also cast a shadow over the festive occasion of the National Day, making many Great Xia people unable to be happy, only feeling stifled and angry.

Both domestic and foreign reporters also flocked to Shuguang Technology Headquarters, wanting to get first-hand, up-to-date news.

Under these circumstances, as time passed, when the fifth day after the news broke arrived, which was the second day of the National Day in 2003.

On this day, thousands of domestic and foreign reporters gathered outside the gates of Shuguang Technology.

The number of thousands of reporters may not seem like much, but when actually placed within the confines of the company’s gate, it was densely packed, almost completely blocking the entrance to Shuguang Technology.

After all, many primary schools within Great Xia only have a little over 1,000 students.

When these more than 1,000 people line up for a lecture, it is already densely packed, so how could they not block the gate of Shuguang Technology at this time?

“This won’t do; it seems we must officially respond to this matter!”

Sales Director Li Qianqiang expressed his opinion.

Originally, the matter of Shuguang Technology being suppressed by the Four Major Mobile Phone Giants and restricted from large-scale procurement of mid-to-high-end mobile phone components should not have been made public.

After all, even if Shuguang Technology announced it, there would be no benefit, and the necessary actions would still have to be taken.

Moreover, this was something that would boost others’ morale and diminish their own prestige; Shuguang Technology had already decided to develop its own high-end mobile phone components and enter the low-end mobile phone market.

Therefore, whether or not to announce the relevant situation was no longer meaningful, and ultimately Shuguang Technology did not make a big fuss.

But unexpectedly, Nanfang Metropolitan Daily directly exposed this matter, pushing Shuguang Technology to the forefront.

“In that case, let’s meet them.”

Lin Chen gave his reply; at this time, Lin Chen had already returned to Pengcheng from Tianjin.

Because the yield rate of the chip factory, through overtime work during this period, had all reached an unprecedented 99.99%.

This naturally made those semiconductor talents who had jumped ship exclaim that it was unscientific, but no matter how much they exclaimed it was unscientific, reality was reality.

Currently, the yield rates of Shuguang Technology’s three major process technologies—130 nanometer, 180 nanometer, and 350 nanometer—had all reached the ultra-high yield rate of 99.99%; if other chip factories knew, they would probably drool with envy!

So, facts speak louder than words; after their surprise and even doubt, they could only accept reality and could only express infinite admiration for Lin Chen!

Under these circumstances, with the chip yield rate issue resolved, Lin Chen had no reason to continue staying at the chip factory.

Ultimately, although the head of the chip factory had not yet been found, there were still many talents capable of ensuring the chip factory operated normally.

So, in a situation of choosing the best among the less ideal, Lin Chen internally found a highly respected person named Old Chen to temporarily take over the leadership position.

After leaving the chip factory, Lin Chen also directly flew back to Pengcheng, as Shuguang Technology’s future rise.

Whether it could achieve the goal of borrowing 30 billion to build a chip factory, ultimately depended on the mobile phone, a super-profitable sunrise industry.

“Then I’ll go arrange it.”

Sales Director Li Qianqiang responded and then went to arrange matters related to the press conference.

After all, they couldn’t possibly meet those thousands of domestic and foreign reporters at the main gate.

...

At Pengcheng First Sports Stadium, a small stage had been temporarily set up, and nearly a thousand domestic and foreign reporters gathered here.

“They’re here!”

“The main figures are finally here, and Lin Chen himself is appearing!”

“Haha, Lin Chen himself is appearing; it seems there’s big news this time.”

“That’s right, there must be big news this time.”

Amidst the discussions of the reporters on site, Lin Chen, accompanied by Lei Bu Si and Sales Director Li Qianqiang, slowly approached the stage, which caused the reporters to become highly excited.

“Click, click, click, click, click…”

The sound of camera flashes filled the air, and at the same time, many high-definition video cameras focused their lenses on Lin Chen.

Compared to his spirited appearance a few months ago, Lin Chen at this moment looked somewhat tired, with faint dark circles even below his eyes. (End of Chapter)
