The night before the college entrance exam results were released, I redeemed my Peking University ad

Chapter 185 Ji Bai Makes His Move!

The whole world was in an uproar.

Chinese netizens: "What? Free to publish?"

An American netizen commented: "A generous gift of crab! Are you Hillary?"

A Japanese netizen commented: "What?! A radio frequency chip with three times the performance, just given away for free?"

A South Korean netizen commented: "Are they crazy? Are all Chinese geniuses this insane?"

A third-party netizen commented: "A miracle! This is good news for all mankind! Mr. Ji Bai is a modern-day Prometheus!"

European netizens exclaimed: "God! Finally, we'll have cell phone signal in subways and basements? I'd build a statue in his honor!"

Not only were netizens stunned, but major global powers were also bewildered.

Prior to this, all investors and bigwigs assumed that Ji Bai would focus on product development, market share acquisition, and patent fees, and engage in a direct business war with Hausen.

But how difficult is this road?

Downstream manufacturers have been tied to each other for decades, the supply chain system is intricate and complex, industry standards are set by each other, and there are layers upon layers of patent barriers.

Even if you have twice the technological advantage, it will still take five to ten years and countless amounts of money to break into the market.

But now, the boy is completely unpredictable.

It's fucking free!

Supply chain, distribution channels, and standards barriers—we've destroyed them all!

To put it bluntly, all the major manufacturers can simply produce it themselves.

Not only does it save a lot of money, but it also saves time and allows for better quality control.

The boy's move stunned everyone.

Because this is a strategy that would kill a thousand enemies while losing a thousand of your own.

Even a mutually assured destruction approach!

I won't make money, you shouldn't make money, nobody should make money!

In the Morgan family office, the head of the department stared at the screen for a long time before finally managing to stammer, "My God, has he gone mad? Giving up a market worth billions of dollars just like that?"

"He's not here to do business at all."

"He's here to kill me."

Inside the Rockefeller estate, the young heir's eyes lit up as he slammed his hand on the table: "Interesting! Absolutely fascinating! I thought he'd proceed with the usual business tactics, but he's gone completely insane!"

Rockefeller Sr. also put away his nonchalant expression and slowly nodded: "This young man has guts. He'd rather forgo any personal gain than let his opponent lose an arm."

"This ruthlessness is just like your father was back then."

……

At Oak Estate, Richard's face was ashen, his chest heaving violently, and he nearly dropped his phone.

He never expected that Ji Bai would simply give away the patent for free.

Fuck!

I told you to disclose your patents, but don't disclose mine!

For a moment, Richard felt like he had shot himself in the foot.

"Calm down!"

Old Hausen slammed his cane down, his aged voice carrying an undeniable authority.

"But, Father..."

"What's the panic!"

Old Hausen's expression remained calm and composed.

"It's just losing a patent, what's the big deal? The Hausen family can afford it."

"We should have to bear some consequences for the failure of our previous plans."

"Richard, remember this: before you do anything, you must be prepared for the consequences of failure."

"Be able to win, and be able to lose gracefully!"

"To be honest, this is much less costly than I had anticipated."

His father's words acted like a tranquilizer; Richard took a few deep breaths and slowly calmed himself down.

Yes.

What's the big deal?

It's just a loss of several billion US dollars every year.

trivial.

"Father, Richard understands."

Richard straightened his tie, regaining his composure as a nobleman, and stared at the live stream screen with a cold smile:

"Kid, you think you can bring down the Hausen family with just a patent? Impossible!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Bai bent down again and took out another, even smaller chip from the disassembled phone.

"This thing is called a memory interface chip."

Ji Bai held the chip with tweezers and slowly explained to the camera: "It's hidden between the processor and the memory chips, and it's the transportation hub for memory data transmission."

"Whether your phone lags when browsing apps, how fast your computer loads games, and how strong the server's concurrency capabilities are largely determined by it."

"From DDR3 to LPDDR5, it is a core component of the industry standard. Similarly, every mobile phone, every computer, and every server contains its patent fees."

The viewers in the live stream hadn't recovered from the previous shock when they were stunned again.

So... there's more?

Richard's heart sank.

He stared intently at the screen, his fingertips icy cold, as a terrifying thought raced through his mind.

No way...it's impossible...how could he not even know this...?

At this moment, Ji Bai put down the old chip and picked up a thinner and smaller chip with a silvery-blue luster.

"This is an optimized version of the memory interface chip that I made."

"Interface bandwidth increased by 120%, read/write latency reduced by 45%, overall power consumption reduced by 52%, and pins are fully compatible with existing standards, so no motherboard design changes are needed; it can be used directly by replacement."

"Simply put, mobile phone memory is instantly upgraded to full capacity, computer performance can be significantly improved without overclocking, and server computing power can be increased by 40%."

As Ji Bai spoke, he quickly soldered the chip back onto the motherboard and powered it on to run benchmarks.

The benchmark scores on the screen soared and stabilized at levels far exceeding those of flagship devices.

The live stream chat in China was so choppy it turned into a PowerPoint presentation.

Holy crap!!!

"I guessed Ji Shen was going to cause trouble today, but I didn't expect it to be this big?"

"Memory performance improved by 40%? 5nm chips instantly become 3nm?"

"The Ancestor has once again unleashed his divine magic! The entire mortal electronics world has collectively broken through to a higher realm!"

"In the past, manufacturers would boast about a meager 5% increase a year, but with Ji Shen's intervention, prices jumped by 40%!"

"A huge victory for those who waited! My newly ordered computer suddenly seems even more appealing!"

The barrage of comments caused the live stream to lag, and everyone was stunned by this second bombshell.

Even the tech giants and industry leaders around the world who were watching the live stream all sat up straight instantly.

If signal amplifiers are just a minor upgrade to "improve the experience," then memory interface chips are a real blow to the very core of the semiconductor industry.

The technical leaders from Samsung, Micron, and SK Hynix almost simultaneously rushed to the screen.

Executives from Intel and AMD looked even more serious.

A 50% reduction in memory latency and a 100% increase in bandwidth mean that the CPU's performance bottleneck has been significantly broken, and server computing power has increased by 40% out of thin air. This is a disruptive impact on the entire cloud computing, supercomputing, and data center industry.

Even established financial groups like Morgan and Rockefeller have abandoned their spectator mentality.

The memory market is currently the hottest piece of the tech industry!

A massive market worth hundreds of billions of US dollars every year!

A core profit pillar for the Hausen family!

Is this kid going to offer it for free?

At this moment, Ji Bai looked up at the live broadcast camera, a faint smile appearing on his lips.

"As everyone just said, good technology should benefit all mankind, and I think that makes a lot of sense."

"Therefore, all the core patents for this memory interface chip are also..."

"Free and available to the whole world!"

"No conditions, no fees, anyone can use it!"

boom--!

The second nuclear bomb exploded with a deafening roar.
