Who would still be a social slave when they are so rich?

Chapter 354 Some things, once missed, are missed forever!

Su Chen glanced at Xie He and Li Mingze who were holding their phones and walking to the corner, then answered the call with a smile.

The person who called Su Chen was none other than Xiao Peng, who was far away in Zhengdao Park.

The content is also very simple, that is, the opening ceremony of Xiaxin International was a complete success, and corresponding cooperation agreements were signed with many large domestic technology companies!
Originally, this call should have been made by Ji Wenbo, the head of Xiaxin International, who personally called to report the situation to Su Chen.

However, because the heads of those large domestic groups wanted to discuss future cooperation with Ji Wenbo and could not leave for the time being, this important task fell on Su Chen.

Su Chen said "Well done" and hung up the phone.

At this time, two surprised voices came from two different directions.

"What? Mass production of 10nm chips! An unknown Chinese company? Is the news accurate? Has a press conference been held?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. With China's scientific research level, it is difficult to mass-produce even 14nm chips. How is it possible to develop 10nm chips and achieve mass production, and even independently develop lithography machines? You are kidding me!"

The voice in front came from the Sheikh. Apart from surprise, there was not much emotion. After all, their royal family's industry did not involve this aspect. They could just spend money to buy whatever they needed.

He was a little shocked to know that China was able to mass-produce 10nm chips. After all, in his opinion, for the mysterious Eastern country, it would only take time to research this chip technology, so he did not find it incredible.

But the owner of the other voice, Li Ming, was different. He was shocked and full of doubt. As far as he knew, it was impossible for China to develop a new film so quickly.

Especially 10nm level chips!
Currently, there are only two companies in the world that can mass-produce 10nm chips, namely TSMC and NVIDIA, and there are no other companies.

Even their Li Group has only achieved mass production of 14nm and 12nm chips. As for 10nm chips, although they have been successfully developed, there is still a long way to go before they can be mass-produced.

To Li Mingze, it was simply a fantasy to learn that China had skipped 14nm and 12nm and achieved mass production of 10nm chips.

There is a huge difference between 10nm-level chips and 12- and 14nm-level chips. They represent one of the advanced nodes in semiconductor manufacturing and mark that chips have crossed into another level.

The two are simply not comparable.

It's like a country that originally had difficulty launching satellites suddenly announced that they had successfully launched a manned lunar exploration satellite. How could people who know about this dare to believe this?

Li Mingze hung up the phone in a daze, muttering "impossible" all the time.

The next second, the conversation between him and Su Chen emerged in his mind. Thinking of what Su Chen said about the pillar industry of their Li Group - semiconductor manufacturing, he was shocked.

He immediately turned his head to look in the direction of Su Chen, only to see Su Chen drinking tea calmly with a faint smile on his lips.

If Li Mingze remembered correctly, the three of them called almost one after the other. If he guessed correctly, the content of their calls were almost the same, all about chips.

"Could it be that the Su guy already knew about this? Otherwise why would he look so calm?" Li Mingze suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

If mass production of 10nm chips is truly achieved, it will change the semiconductor landscape in East Asia, Southeast Asia and even the world, just like electronic manufacturing in previous years!

The first to bear the brunt will be their Li Group, which will face an unprecedented devastating blow!
Li Mingze had mixed emotions in his heart, his eyes fixed on Su Chen, trying to find some clues from his calm face.

Unfortunately... Li Mingze didn’t see anything. If he had to say something, it was that everything seemed to be under his control.

"Su, your country has developed 10nm chips and has achieved mass production. Is this true? Does this mean that we can buy more advanced weapons and equipment from your country?"

Xie He's excited voice brought Li Mingze back to his thoughts. Looking at Xie He sitting next to Su Chen with an excited and curious look on his face, Li Mingze hesitated for a moment and walked over. He wanted to know more information from Su Chen.

Li Mingze walked very slowly. It took him about ten seconds to walk a distance of less than ten meters.

Moreover, he no longer had the arrogance he had before. On the contrary... he looked like a cripple hit by frost, completely wilted.

Are you willing? He saw Su Chen nodded affirmatively in response to Sheikh’s question.

"That's right. We have already achieved mass production of 10nm chips. In addition, our lithography machines have broken the blockade of ASML and independently developed extreme ultraviolet lithography machines. To some extent, their performance is better than that of ASML's lithography machines!"

These words were like a huge hammer, hitting Li Mingze's heart hard, causing his heart, which had already been injured by the 10nm chip, to be shattered into pieces.

Li Mingze was a little dazed. If what Su Chen said was true, then their Li Group was really facing a major crisis this time.

After all, all of the Li Group's lithography machines are imported from ASML, so to some extent they have to depend on others.

"Su, how do you know this information? It seems to be more detailed than what I know!"

Hearing this, Li Mingze immediately became alert and stared at Su Chen, wanting to know the answer from him.

A smile appeared on Su Chen's lips. He naturally took in Li Mingze's expression and couldn't help but feel a little funny.

The heir of the Li Group, who was once so arrogant, now looks like a wounded sparrow. It is funny no matter how you look at him.

Picking up the teacup and taking a sip, Su Chen looked at Xie He and said slowly: "If I say that Xiaxin International, which has achieved mass production of 10nm chips and independently developed lithography machines, is my company, I wonder if you would believe it?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was dumbfounded, and all eyes were focused on him, with shock, astonishment and other complex expressions intertwined.

Even Sheikh was no exception, looking at Su Chen with surprise.

As for Li Mingze, the expression on his face changed from shock to disbelief, and even to the point where his entire face turned gloomy and his eyes looked particularly creepy.

The person who regretted the most among those present was Ackerman, the head of the Habsburg family. He had never expected such a turn of events.

He originally thought that his cooperation with the Li Group would allow the Habsburg family to get back on their feet, but things changed too quickly and he didn't know whether the Habsburg family could still get back on their feet.

But he understood that if the Li Group could not adjust its corporate layout in time this time, this behemoth might collapse.

Ackerman wanted to slap himself a few times in the face right now. Why did he agree to Li Mingze so foolishly?
If he had stood on Su Chen's side before, the revival of the family would not be a problem at all.

Thinking of this, Ackerman turned his gaze to Doris and could only pray in his heart that Doris had a different place in Su Chen's heart.

Sheikh was the first to come to his senses. He widened his eyes and asked in a somewhat incredulous tone: "Su, what did you just say? Xiaxin International is your industry? Are you kidding me?"

Su Chen smiled slightly and nodded, "Yes, Xiaxin International is one of the projects I invested in before. I received a call from China before coming to the UK."

"If you hadn't invited me to Manchester to watch the game, I might have appeared at Xiaxin International's press conference."

Sheikh opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment. Although he knew that Su Chen's business investment was not inferior to his, he did not expect that Su Chen also had such a deep layout in the semiconductor field.

The emergence of Xiaxin International is not only the rise of high-end manufacturing, but also means that they have broken the technological blockade led by the bald eagle, making the technological blockade led by the bald eagle a joke. At the same time, their voice in the world semiconductor market will increase significantly.

Li Mingze's expression became increasingly ugly, his eyes fixed on Su Chen, filled with shock and anger.

He never thought that Su Chen would be the behind-the-scenes boss of Xia Xin International. This means that the relationship between their Li Group and Su Chen's Xia Xin International is one of either you die or I die!
The world semiconductor market is so big, especially the Chinese market, which accounts for one-third of the world's total, or even more.

If Xiaxin International rises, it means that semiconductor companies around the world will lose one-third of the market, and even the remaining two-thirds will be affected.

"Su Chen, you planned all this, right?" Li Mingze's voice trembled a little, and there was a bit of panic in his tone.

Su Chen heard this and a teasing expression appeared on his face, "Haha, planned? Do you think your Li Group is so awesome? Do you still need me to plan it carefully?"

"If it weren't for your trouble-making brother, I might not even know about your Li Group."

"There is one thing I have never understood. Why do you young masters from the consortium like to impose your own mistakes on others?"

"Li Mingrui is like this, and so are you, Li Mingze. You really are not from the same family, so you can't get along with each other. This can be considered hereditary!"

Su Chen's words were full of sarcasm.

"You!" Li Mingze stood up suddenly and looked at Su Chen with a gloomy expression. But soon Li Mingze suppressed the anger in his heart and tried to calm himself down.

"Su Chen, don't be too proud. Even if you have achieved mass production of 10nm chips, it does not mean that you can gain a foothold in the global semiconductor market. The competition in the industry is far more complicated than you think!"

"Neither TSMC nor NVIDIA will let Xiaxin grow. At that time, they will block various channels to restrict you. If you want to enter the world semiconductor market, your only way out is to cooperate with our Li Group!"

Li Mingze was also unwilling to miss out on this piece of fat meat, Xia Xin. Even though he had offended Su Chen because of some things before, he still wanted to try to persuade Su Chen.

After all, their Li Group has huge channels. As long as they reach a cooperation, they can seize the global semiconductor market of TSMC and Nvidia with the production of 10nm chips. It can be said to be a best of both worlds.

Hearing this, Su Chen was obviously stunned for a moment and looked at Li Mingze in surprise. He really wanted to know how Li Mingze could say such shameless words.

There is only one way out, which is really hilarious.

"Mr. Li, you are right. Competition in the semiconductor industry is indeed very complicated. However, I have a question. What gives you the confidence to say the word cooperation?"

"Is it because of your 14nm and 12nm mass production technology? Or is it because the vast majority of the Lee Group's semiconductors are sold in China?"

"Your chips are nothing more than outdated products in front of 10nm chips. As for the market, I believe it won't be long before the Chinese market will be dominated by Xia Xin!"

"It seems... no matter from which aspect, you don't have anything to show for it!"

"How can you afford to discuss cooperation with me?"

Li Mingze's face was uncertain. He looked at Su Chen deeply, snorted heavily, left a word "wait and see", and turned around to leave with his men.

Seeing Li Mingze was about to leave, Ackerman could no longer sit still. He quickly walked up to Su Chen and pleaded with a somewhat pleading tone: "Mr. Su, I was blind and offended you before. Please bear with me for Doris' sake, and please give our Habsburg family a chance!"

Su Chen glanced at Ackerman indifferently, and his expression, which had originally contained a hint of smile, instantly turned cold.

"Mr. Ackerman, some things, if you miss them, you miss them forever!"

"From the moment you chose to cooperate with the Li Group and said those humiliating words, the future of the Habsburg family was doomed!"

Hearing this, Ackerman's face turned pale instantly, and he staggered and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately he grabbed the table in time.

He knew that the Habsburg family had completely lost the chance to turn things around. As for the Lee Group, with the mass production of 10nm chips, they no longer had the time to care about the Habsburg family.

All this was due to his momentary confusion.

Thinking of this, Ackerman looked at Doris who was standing next to Su Chen with a pleading face, hoping that she could plead for the family for the sake of the family.

Doris felt mixed emotions when she saw the pleading look from Patriarch Ackerman. Doris also knew that if she didn't plead, the Habsburg family would be really finished.

Didn't she agree to go to the Guangming Club in order to revive her family?

Thinking of this, Doris gritted her teeth, walked to Su Chen, and just as she was about to speak, she was met with Su Chen's cold gaze.

Doris shuddered all over. She knew that Su Chen was warning her. If she spoke, the only friendship they had would be gone.

"Doris, please beg Mr. Su. You don't want to see the Habsburg family fall into decline, and your parents and relatives running around for a living!"

"Have you forgotten that if it weren't for the help of your family, your mother would have died long ago. Have you forgotten the kindness your family has shown you?" Ackerman blurted out when he saw Doris's hesitation.

When the Sheikh at the side heard this, a look of speechlessness flashed across his face. How could the patriarch of the Habsburg family be like an idiot?

He shook his head helplessly. He was really desperate and tried every possible means. I don't know where Ackerman got the confidence to think that Doris could influence Su Chen's decision.

If this precedent really happens, given Ackerman's shameless behavior, who can guarantee that it won't happen again?
Sheikh believed that Su Chen would never agree. If he said those insulting words and still nodded and agreed to let the Habsburg family go and help them, Su Chen's business empire would not last long.

After a difficult psychological struggle, Doris finally chose to stand on the side of her family. After all, she still had relatives, and she had only known Su Chen for a few days.

"Mr. Su... Mr. Su, I know that you are disappointed with the Habsburg family's previous choice. Please give the family a chance for our sake!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene instantly became quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on Su Chen. Even Li Mingze, who had taken two or three steps and stopped because of Ackerman's matter, also looked at Su Chen with some expectation in his eyes.

If Su Chen really nodded and agreed to Doris's request, it would mean that their Li Group still has a chance.

Su Chen frowned slightly, looked at Doris with cold eyes, and a hint of displeasure flashed across his face.

Doris's words made Su Chen feel particularly uncomfortable, and there seemed to be a sense of threat in the subtext.

After a moment of silence, Su Chen slowly said, "Go!"

"Doris, you should understand that some things cannot be solved by feelings. The Habsburg family's choice has made their position clear!"

"And I will not change my decision because of personal feelings!"

"However, considering your performance over the past few days, I will give your Habsburg family a chance. As long as your apology satisfies me, I will not do anything against your family!"

Su Chen did not forget what Ackerman said before, that the Habsburg family had a collection of antique porcelain that filled three large houses. Anything that could be collected by the Habsburg family a hundred years ago must be the best of the best.

Su Chen wanted to take this opportunity to take back all the antiques and cultural relics!

That’s right, all of them!
Su Chen believed that Ackerman would surrender for the sake of his family, unless he wanted to see the Habsburg family destroyed in his hands.

When Doris heard Su Chen's words, she was stunned. Even though she was mentally prepared, she couldn't accept it for a while when she really faced it.

On the other hand, Ackerman was delighted when he heard Su Chen gave them a chance to apologize. He said excitedly, "Thank you, Mr. Su. Thank you, Mr. Su. I promise to satisfy you."

"I hope so!" Su Chen said in a light tone.

At the same time, he waved to Chen Fei beside him and whispered a few words in his ear. He heard that there was a gleam in Chen Fei's eyes when he looked at Ackerman.

"Understood!" Chen Fei said, and left with Ackerman, Doris and other members of the Habsburg family.

Li Mingze looked at Ackerman who was leaving. When he passed by him, he didn't even look at him, let alone say hello. In an instant, Li Mingze's eyes narrowed.

He turned around to look at Su Chen, and hurriedly left with his men.

After everyone left, Xie He sat next to Su Chen and asked, "You don't really want to go against the Li Group, do you? They are not simple!"

"And... you're just going to let Doris go? It's a shame to just throw away such a beautiful girl!"

When talking about Doris, a look of regret emerged on Sheikh's face. You know, he originally wanted Su Chen to give Doris to him.

Su Chen shrugged indifferently after hearing this, "What's a pity? Why keep someone who only has a good appearance but no brains around? You'll just be a stumbling block for yourself!"

Xie He didn't expect Su Chen to see things so clearly. At their level, women are just the spice of their lives.

"Are you really going to let the Habsburg family go just like that?" Sheikh kept his eyes on Su Chen, as if he wanted to see some clues from Su Chen's face. He didn't believe that this matter would just let go.

"Hehe..." Su Chen chuckled, without saying much, just looked in the direction where Li Mingze left.

Seeing this, Sheikh thought about it for a moment, his pupils shrank suddenly, and a terrible idea popped up in his mind.

Looking at Su Chen who was drinking tea calmly, he inexplicably felt a cool breeze blowing, which made him shiver.
