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

Chapter 365 I'll just take it as a compliment, right?!

"Brother Chen!"

Looking at Xiao Chen who looked tired, Su Chen stood up and greeted him with a smile.

"You kid..." Xiao Chen was just about to ask Su Chen what was up to, when he saw Professor Wu sitting on the sofa, drinking tea leisurely.

He was full of respect for this semiconductor industry leader and national scientific research leader, and he quickly walked over and greeted him, "I didn't expect you to be here, Professor Wu."

Professor Wu glanced at Su Chen, then smiled and responded, "I have something to deal with, so I came here in person."

Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment when he heard this. The matter that could make Professor Wu make a personal trip must be related to his major. When he thought about the information he got from his grandfather, he guessed what Professor Wu was talking about.

His eyes moved back and forth between Su Chen and Professor Wu. He was wondering how this guy Su Chen had dragged a principled man like Professor Wu into this situation.

"Xiao boy, look left and right. Doesn't your twisted neck hurt? If you have any questions, just ask directly. Are you worried that we are lying to you?"

Professor Wu looked at Xiao Chen who just looked at him without asking any questions and had a puzzled look on his face. Finally, he put down the teacup in his hand and joked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen sat down on the sofa, looked at Su Chen and asked directly: "What is going on?"

"I heard from South Korea that someone wants to sell the 10nm chip technology to the Lee Group. After much thought, I realized that only you have this technology!"

"You should know the importance of 10nm chip technology. It can bring technological innovation to a country. Why are you thinking of selling it? Even if you are short of money, you can tell us!"

"Su Chen doesn't know the importance of this chip. Professor Wu, as the leader of the semiconductor industry, don't you know its importance?"

It would have been better if Xiao Chen hadn't said anything, but once he started talking, he started to talk a lot. Professor Wu, who had just taken a sip of tea, almost choked on his tea when he heard the last words that were full of reproach.

Such a huge blame was directly thrown on him. Fortunately, there were no outsiders here. If other people heard it, Professor Wu’s reputation would be ruined.

Professor Wu was immediately annoyed. He glared at Xiao Chen and shouted, "Several of you, Xiao boy, you look simple and honest, but you are actually full of bad intentions. How can you wrongly accuse me for no reason!"

Seeing Professor Wu's angry look, his face turned red, and his hand pointing at Xiao Chen was shaking a little. It was unclear whether he was angry or pretending to be angry.

I didn't expect that Professor Wu, who usually looks serious, has such a side to him.

Anyway, Su Chen couldn't help laughing out loud.

As a result, the next second he was met with the scrutinizing gazes of Professor Wu and Xiao Chen. Only then did Su Chen realize that he seemed to be the one who was responsible.

The smile on his face froze instantly.

"Ahem, let's talk business, otherwise some people might not be able to sleep well!"

Su Chen coughed tactically, called Chen Fei over who was cutting fruit while speaking, and whispered a few words to him.

Then he saw Chen Fei running upstairs quickly, and after a while he came down with a document.

"Sir!" Chen Fei handed the document in his hand to Su Chen.

However, Su Chen did not take it. Instead, he nodded to Xiao Chen beside him, indicating that Chen Fei should hand the document to him.

Xiao Chen glanced at the document in Chen Fei's hand and only saw the words "letter of intent". He then reached out and took the document.

Professor Wu naturally knew the whole story, but he was also curious about the ports that the Li Group had given. He quickly stood up and walked to Xiao Chen's side and sat down, leaning over to look at the contract in his hand.

The letter of intent was not very thick, only about five or six pages. It took less than five minutes for the two of them to finish reading the contract.

Professor Wu was fine as he had been mentally prepared. However, when he saw the countries where those ports were located, he secretly sighed in his heart that this business was really worth it. No wonder Su Chen was so anxious to take these ports into his possession.

On the other hand, Xiao Chen had not yet recovered from this letter of intent.

It is said that the higher you stand, the farther you can see!

From Xiao Chen's current position, these forty-three ports can be said to be able to change the country's foreign trade strategy and are very important.

He also didn't expect that what Su Chen exchanged for the 10nm chip was actually a precious top-level port, especially the Panama port, which was related to the foreign trade layout in North and South America.

If Xiao Chen really had to distinguish whether the port was more important or the 10nm chip technology was more important, he probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference clearly for a moment.

To be honest, both are important. Whether it is the port or the chip technology, the most important thing is to have a firm grasp on them in our own hands.

For a moment, the living room fell into silence. Even when Fade Chen brought the fruit plate, Xiao Chen had not recovered from the shock.

As the only two people who knew the truth, Su Chen and Professor Wu were leisurely eating fruits, especially Professor Wu, who was enjoying eating a plate of watermelon slices.

Su Chen felt as if he was being neglected in the Zhengdao campus. He glared at Xiao Peng in annoyance, blaming this guy for not making proper arrangements for Professor Wu and others.

Xiao Peng felt so miserable. Research bigwigs like Professor Wu basically stayed in the laboratory. How could he possibly deliver the fruits to the laboratory?

If he knew that Professor Wu liked watermelon so much, he would have arranged at least one for him every day.

Thinking of this, Xiao Peng could only look resentfully at Professor Wu who was concentrating on eating watermelon.

Professor Wu suddenly felt a chill in his body. He raised his head and glanced around, and he noticed the look Xiao Peng was giving him.

He was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Su Chen calmly and found that Su Chen was looking at him with a smile on his face. He quickly realized what was going on. It turned out that it was caused by him eating watermelon.

He smiled embarrassedly and pushed the plate of watermelon in his hand to the middle. The plate rubbed against the table, making a crisp sound.

It was this voice that brought Xiao Chen, who was lost in thought, back to his senses. He looked at Su Chen with a complicated expression, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Blame Su Chen? Forget about moving forward. What Su Chen got in return are all important strategic ports!
Although people praised him, he felt particularly uncomfortable when he thought about selling the 10nm chip technology to the Lee Group in South Korea. After all, that was the most advanced technology in the domestic semiconductor industry.

It is a technology that can compete with the world's top semiconductor companies.

"Hey!"

Thousands of words finally turned into a sigh.

However, Xiao Chen reacted quickly. Based on his understanding of Su Chen, things were definitely not that simple. He had not forgotten Su Chen's previous operations in Southeast Asia.

"Do you have any backup plan?"

Xiao Chen stared at Su Chen with burning eyes, feeling inexplicably excited.

"Uh..." Su Chen and Professor Wu both showed a look of surprise on their faces. They did not expect that Xiao Chen would figure out the key so quickly.

Especially Professor Wu, he was still thinking about seeing Xiao Chen being humiliated, but now he is afraid that he won’t be able to see it.

When Xiao Chen saw Su Chen's expression, his face immediately lit up with joy. He knew that he had guessed right this time, and Su Chen still had a backup plan.

"You kid, do you just want to see me make a fool of myself?" Xiao Chen angrily punched Su Chen on the shoulder.

"Hey, you can't blame me for this! Su Chen pouted at Professor Wu and said, "Professor Wu also thought the same thing, otherwise he wouldn't have kept it to himself!"

Professor Wu's smile froze, and he saw Xiao Chen's questioning look, and he lowered his head guiltily and started eating fruit. Seeing this, Xiao Chen didn't know that he had become a clown since he came here.

"My goodness, did I fly here from the imperial capital for no reason? I was worried for so long in vain!"

Xiao Chen was extremely depressed, but he wanted to vent his feelings but didn't know who to vent to, so he could only endure it silently.

"You didn't even give me a chance to speak. I was thinking of telling you something when I called you before, but I didn't expect you to hang up so quickly. You can't blame me!" Su Chen explained with a grin and bared teeth.

Xiao Chen opened his mouth, wanting to argue for himself again, but no words came out, so he could only skip the topic.

"Tell me, what kind of back-up plan have you prepared?"

Su Chen pretended to be indifferent when he heard this, shrugged and said, "There is no backup plan. I just deleted the core part of the 10nm chip technology and added a layer of lock in it."

Glancing at Xiao Chen, who had a smile on his face, Su Chen raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said softly, "In addition... the research base is conducting research on 7nm chips, and there is a high probability that a breakthrough will be achieved this year."

"By then we will achieve mass production of 7nm chips!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Chen stood up and looked at Su Chen in shock.

"What did you say? 7nm chips will be mass-produced? Before the end of this year?"

When he heard Su Chenqian say that the core technology of the 10nm chip had been deleted, his depression about selling the chip technology felt a little better. After all, core technology is related to more advanced chip research and can be said to be very important.

But when he heard Su Chen say that the 7nm chip was about to be developed, who the hell would care about the 10nm chip!

10nm chip: Okay, okay, you forgot about me so quickly, huh? Then can the forty-three ports without me be replaced?
"Well, judging from the current research progress, we may not have to wait until the end of the year. If you don't believe me..."

Su Chen looked sideways at Professor Wu who was eating fruit, raised his head and said, "Well, Professor Wu is here, you can ask him if what I said is true?"

Seeing Xiao Chen's fiery eyes looking at him, Professor Wu silently moved to the side. Although he knew that Xiao Chen was excited about the 7nm chip, he felt uneasy when a young man was staring at him.

"Wei Xiuwen is currently in charge of the 7nm chip research project. Before coming to Shanghai, I specifically asked about the progress. In two months at most, 7nm chips will be successfully developed and reach mass production level!"

After receiving Professor Wu's affirmative answer, Xiao Chen could no longer suppress his excitement. He stood up and waved his arms wildly, muttering to himself, "That's great, it's really great!"

Looking at Xiao Chen's happy dancing, Su Chen and Professor Wu did not find it funny. If they had not already known about the 7nm chip, they might have been even crazier than him.

After a long while, Xiao Chen's mood gradually calmed down. Thinking of the purpose of his visit, he said "sorry" to Su Chen and Professor Wu, walked to a quiet corner, took out the mobile phone in his pocket and made a call.

Su Chen knew without thinking that this call was made to Mr. Xiao, to report the matter of the 10nm chip so that some people could feel at ease about the transaction, and at the same time to tell the old man the news that the 7nm chip would soon be successfully developed.

The call lasted nearly ten minutes, and Xiao Chen's emotions were up and down. Su Chen and the others could tell from his sometimes high-pitched voice.

When Xiao Chen came back after finishing the call, his face was filled with a joyful smile, and it was obvious that he had received praise from Grandpa Xiao.

"After the higher-ups got wind of the 10nm chip incident, they were almost going crazy. They all thought you were obsessed with money. If it weren't for your previous deeds and the guarantee from the two old men, I'm afraid someone would have come to talk to you!"

Since this technology concerns the transformation of domestic science and technology, the higher-ups have no choice but to pay attention to it.

At this point, Xiao Chen looked at Su Chen with a hint of resentment and said, "Next time something like this happens, can you let us know so that we can at least be mentally prepared."

As soon as Xiao Chen thought about how he had learned about the relevant situation, he flew to the Magic City without stopping. Along the way, he was thinking about what the situation was like, and he was exhausted.

"Brother Chen, it's not that I don't want to tell you. You also know that people are always gossiping. What if... I mean what if, if someone from the Li Group finds out, then my words will be ruined!"

Su Chen was also helpless. He was worried that some people did not understand his ideas and would hinder him, causing his plans to fail. This was something he did not want to see.

Of course, Su Chen also has his own little thoughts!
It is said that secrets lead to success and leaks lead to failure. The fewer people who know about a matter, the less likely it is that something will go wrong.

Su Chen would definitely not say it clearly, in case some people were still unsteady and leaked the information to the Li Group.

It’s enough for everyone to know it in their hearts. It would be meaningless if they said it out loud.

Xiao Chen naturally understood what this meant. He also knew that it was difficult to guard against a thief in one's own home, no matter how hard one tried. Who could guarantee that everyone was determined?

Thinking of what the old man said on the phone just now, Xiao Chen made a mistake and said with a smile: "By the way, the old man asked you what you plan to do with those ports. If you haven't thought about it, hehe... do you need us to help you deal with it?"

Hearing this, Su Chen rolled his eyes at Xiao Chen and said, "Forget it, I have other arrangements for these ports!"

"I plan to let IPS Security Company take over these ports. At least on the surface, it can avoid a lot of trouble, especially the strategic ports - Panama ports."

"I don't need to explain much. I'm sure you understand the reasoning, Brother Chen."

Panama Port is divided into two parts, namely Balboa Port and Cristobarri Port, located at the two ends of the Panama Canal. It can be said that whoever controls the Panama Port controls the economic lifeline of the canal.

Ninety percent of the throughput comes from two countries, namely Bald Eagle and China, and their importance is self-evident.

You should know that the Panama Canal is located at the junction of North and South America, connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and is very close to the bald eagle.

If the Panama port is taken over by China, there will inevitably be some disputes in the Panama Canal in the future, and it may even affect the operation of the port.

In order to avoid such things from happening, letting IPS security company take the lead can prevent a lot of trouble.

Xiao Chen looked at Su Chen meaningfully. He guessed most of what was going on in his mind. After all, as one of the leaders of the second generation of the imperial capital, if he didn't have this kind of brains, it would be a waste of such a good background.

"Okay, I'll tell the old man about this when I get back, and he might talk to you about it then!"

There is no way around it. The importance of these ports is self-evident, and people will definitely think about maximizing the benefits of these ports.

Su Chen shrugged indifferently. They were just discussing how to use these ports in the future.

"Once I have things settled here, I may have to go back to the southwest. If the old man wants to find me, please give me a call then."

The three of them chatted for a while, mainly discussing how to keep the matter confidential so as to avoid it being leaked and causing unnecessary impact.

They chatted until around five or six in the evening. After everyone had dinner together, Xiao Chen left in a hurry and rushed back to the imperial capital.

In his words, it is not yet time for him to enjoy life.

Before leaving, he did not forget to remind Su Chen to bring more bodyguards when traveling abroad in the future to avoid retaliation.

Watching Xiao Chen walk into the elevator, Su Chen turned to look at Professor Wu beside him, baring his teeth and asking, "Mr. Wu, do you think that what Brother Chen said when he left just now was a hint that I'm too handsome and too eye-catching?"

Professor Wu's mouth twitched. He had never seen such a shameless person.

"He's saying that you've done too many 'good things'. Be careful not to get hit by a club when walking on the street at night!"

"Hehe, I'll just think that you are praising me!" Su Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, and a faint smile flashed across his face.

He was looking forward to tomorrow's signing ceremony, but he didn't know if Li Zhexi would be furious when he found out the truth in a few months when the 7nm chip came out.
