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

The Oak Estate was deathly silent.

Richard's face drained of all color, and he stood frozen in place, his mind blank.

Memory interface chips...that's Hausen's core industry!

Moreover, the market is larger and the profits are more stable than those of radio frequency chips, making it their cornerstone in the semiconductor IP field!

Now, it's gone too?

"Father……"

Richard's voice trembled as he turned to look at his father.

Old Hausen took a deep breath, his expression remaining as composed as ever, and tapped his cane lightly on the ground: "It's alright, it's just two product lines. Hausen's century-old foundation can withstand it."

Hearing his father say this, Richard's anxiety eased a little.

Yeah, what's the panic?

Isn't it just two tracks: RF power amplifiers and memory interfaces?

All together, the annual profit is only a few billion US dollars.

Hausen is a large and diversified company with operations spanning more than a dozen industries; this loss will not fundamentally damage their business.

……

In the live stream, netizens have completely gone crazy.

"This is free?! Just how many powerful moves is the Emperor going to unleash today?"

"Two! Core technologies from two multi-billion dollar sectors, just given away for free?"

"I'm numb. I used to learn something from watching Ji Shen's live streams, but today it's completely changed my worldview."

"Today, the Ancestor has dispersed his power, and the mortal semiconductor industry is collectively bathed in his divine blessings!"

"Ji Shen! Calm down, Ji Shen! This is money! It's money!!"

"I'm going crazy! I'm fucking shaking with excitement! This thing is worth billions!"

Compared to Ji Shen, all those super-rich novels and domineering CEO stories I read before seem utterly pathetic!

"Has anyone in the know calculated how much money global consumers can save through these two waves of freebies?"

"Stop calculating, my calculator is smoking."

……

It wasn't just netizens who were shocked.

The reactions from major global powers were even more entertaining than the comments section.

The US military, the Pentagon's underground intelligence center.

The intelligence officers looked at each other, their faces all saying, "Am I still dreaming?"

"free?"

"Memory interface chips... are free too?"

"This doesn't make sense! This is completely illogical!"

"My God... what is he trying to do?"

On the eve of the British Empire, the analysts of MI6's East Asia team fell silent.

The leading intelligence officer took off his glasses, rubbed his temples vigorously, and his voice carried a hint of barely perceptible fatigue:

"Reassess! Our previous assessment of this boy may have been completely wrong."

Japan's chickens were killed, prompting the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry to hold an emergency meeting overnight.

The officials whispered among themselves, their expressions complex.

"This season of white wine completely subverts business logic."

"If technology and products are free, how will we compete with China in the future?"

South Korea, Samsung Electronics headquarters.

A group of executives stared at the live stream, their expressions even more unpleasant than if they had eaten a bitter melon.

"President...our memory interface chip uses Hausen's IP..."

"I know."

"Now that Ji Bai has made it public for free, then we..."

"Shut up."

At Rockefeller Estate.

A strange light flickered in the young heir's eyes as he muttered to himself:

"Free...open to all...destroying the entire patent barrier in one move...how come I never thought of this approach..."

Rockefeller put down his cigar and, unusually, showed a serious expression.

"It's not that you can't think of it, it's that you dare not think of it."

"This boy is either insane, or... smarter than all of us combined!"

……

Everyone was stunned!

Ji Bai smiled.

Shocking!

It seems that he is taking revenge on the Hausen family by sacrificing himself, but in reality, he has not gained nothing.

On the system panel, the shock value skyrocketed!

[Ding! Shock from Richard Hausen, +500]

[Ding! Shock from Old Hausen, +1000]

[Ding! Shocking news from the Pentagon, +2000]

[Ding! Shocking news from Samsung Electronics, +3000]

[Ding! Shock from the Morgan family, +5000]

[Ding! Shock from the Rockefeller family, +5000]

[Ding! Shock from netizens worldwide, +10086...]

Ji Bai stood in front of the lab table, unable to suppress the corners of his mouth.

Cool.

So cool.

It's even more satisfying than getting top-tier equipment in a video game.

This group thought he was a madman carrying out a suicide attack, or that he was young and impulsive and didn't care about the consequences.

They don't know anything.

On the surface, he was trying to take the Hausen family down with him; he was saying, "I'll destroy you, and I won't make a single penny."

But actually?

The shock level is skyrocketing!

This is worth much more than patent fees!

Simply presenting a chip with superior performance will only elicit a "no wonder he's the father of superconductivity, it's only natural" response, with little sense of awe.

After all, no one would be surprised if he came up with some advanced technology.

But once it's announced that it's "free and publicly available," the nature of the business changes completely.

What's being disrupted isn't the technology, but the entire industry's profit rules and everyone's preconceived notions.

The shock value of this kind of disruptive innovation is more than ten times greater than simply showing off technology.

He was certainly not some spendthrift, nor did he really intend to die with others.

These patented technologies may seem valuable, but to him, they are nothing more than the result of an afternoon of reverse engineering an industrial machine tool.

Using these "scraps" to exchange for a massive amount of shock value, and then using that to open virtual spaces, run industrial mother machines, and develop more core superconducting applications, it's a huge profit no matter how you look at it.

Incidentally, we can also beat the Hausen family to a pulp and avenge the ambush on the high seas.

Killing two birds with one stone, a sure-fire way to make a profit.

Moreover, based on the previous thousand-yuan choices, Ji Bai had roughly figured out that for the Lv3 system, the shock value was a very important indicator.

Many of the awesome options that follow may require relying on the shock value.

So, it's not that he wanted to show off, it's just that the system wouldn't allow him to keep a low profile!

While making plans in his mind, Ji Bai's hands didn't stop.

He casually picked up a tiny chip, about the size of a grain of rice, from the tray beside him and waved it at the camera:

"This is an LED lighting rectifier chip, which is found in the light bulbs and display backlights of everyone's home. I made a small improvement, which doubled the conversion efficiency and tripled the lifespan."

"Same as always, it's free."

Before the audience could even process what he'd said, the boy picked up the next one: "Power management chips, they're in phones and laptops, they improve energy efficiency by 40%, and extend battery life by a third."

"free!"

"Fast charging protocol chip, compatible with all existing interfaces, doubles charging speed, and does not overheat."

"free!"

"The wireless charging receiver chip reduces power loss by half when the charging distance is extended to two meters."

"free!"

One after another, they are all tiny chips that are inconspicuous yet ubiquitous in daily life.

Each one is a component of the Hausen family's patent network.

Each one corresponds to a steady stream of patent fees every year.

Netizens are completely dumbfounded.

"The third...the fourth...the fifth one, damn it!"

"I'm numb, I'm really numb, this is even more outrageous than the Singles' Day discounts."

"How much more do you, Season God, know that we don't know about you?!"

"I hereby declare today a New Year's Day for the global electronics industry!"

"Our ancestor has opened the granaries to distribute grain; all manufacturers, quickly express your gratitude!"

"Einstein: God doesn't play dice. Ji Bai: Is God free or not?"

"The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao; what can be avoided is not worth the money."

"Burn my broken body, blazing holy fire, what joy is there in living, what sorrow in dying? For the sake of all people, joy and sorrow... I can't make this up anymore, Great Emperor is awesome!"

"When the Emperor goes to war, not a blade of grass will survive!"

……

Everyone was celebrating.

Only…

Oak Estate...
