Back to the Past: Breaking the Love Spell



Chapter 714

Eleanor stood up and pressed Bernard down into his chair. She massaged his shoulders and asked, "What did they say?"

"They say that we're not focusing on our products and have way too much time on our

hands!" Bernard was a prideful man, and he was very displeased at being criticized by his peers in the industry.

Eleanor said huffily, "Are they crazy? There was an issue in their business departments, and I helped them find out about it. It's fine that they didn't thank me for it, but now they're saying I have too much time on my hands?"

Bernard was amused. He said, "I already told you, but you just wouldn't believe me. Every company has its management system. If there are issues, they can investigate internally. "You're an outsider and a competitor, but you went to their business directors to investigate why they refused the Xenos Technology order. You even ended up finding a problem! How do you think they're going to react to that?"

He seemed to worry that Eleanor wouldn't understand, so he continued to explain. "Let me give you an example. Let's say we owned restaurants, and one of your waiters chased a customer off. If my waiter went and accused yours, how would you feel?"

Eleanor stuck out her tongue. "It does seem rather inappropriate."

Bernard said wryly, "If it was revealed that the waiter chased off a customer on the orders of someone in the management team, wouldn't that be a slap in the face?"

Eleanor pursed her lips and said, "I didn't think much of it at the time."

Bernard saw how aggrieved she looked, so he changed the subject and said, "Fine, fine. Let's not talk about this. How are discussions with Carlisle going? Has Xenos Technology made a large order?"

"There probably won't be many. They need eight-inch wafers, but we are currently only able to manufacture wafers that are smaller than eight inches."

"Xenos Factory has really risen from the ashes," Bernard murmured, his eyes narrowing.

"Dad, are you saying that Xenos Technology has made a big breakthrough in CPUs?" Eleanor immediately understood what Bernard was saying, but she couldn't help asking to make sure.

"Yes. Eight-inch wafers are limited to 90nm process nodes, and currently, there are no companies in our country that have managed to go further than a 90nm chip. Even Holden Microchips International would find that hard."

"If Xenos Technology can really produce a 90nm chip, wouldn't they become more famous than Holden Microchips International?" Eleanor felt her heart thumping wildly. She felt as if she had discovered a huge secret.

"That's right. If they can produce a 90nm chip before Holden Microchips International does, their fame will grow in leaps and bounds. They'll also draw the attention of the National Institute of Science. All kinds of investors will flock to them."

There was a gleam in Bernard's shrewd eyes. "Has Xenos Technology gotten themselves a 90nm lithography machine?"

"That doesn't seem possible. Hasn't the West been restricting our semiconductor technology? How could a small company like Xenos get a 90nm process lithography machine?" Eleanor felt that there was no basis for Bernard's deductions.noveldrama

That was why Premier Technology was only an OEM for wafers. Getting the imported equipment to manufacture the wafers was enough of a headache as it was. A lithography machine for producing chips would be even more difficult to handle.

"Perhaps I'm overthinking." Bernard smiled bitterly and shook his head.

After his dip in the hot springs, Carlisle went to Aurora Holdings.

When he arrived, it was 6:00 pm.

That afternoon, Carlisle had instructed Selena to notify Govan Technology, Xenos Technology, and the suppliers of Aurora Holdings to come for a meeting.

The conference room of Aurora Holdings was spacious, and the huge oval conference table could seat 30 people.

Those in attendance at the meeting were: Logan, the CEO of Govan Technology; Hank, the R &D Director of Govan Technology; Ryan, the CEO of Xenos Technology; Edward, the supplier of phone screens; Simon, the supplier of batteries; and Harry, the supplier of cameras.

Carlisle sat at the head of the table. He turned to look at Ryan and asked, "Mr. Scott, have the problems with wafer manufacturing been resolved?"
