Chapter 124: Chip Oolong

With Han Wenbo leading the way, the security guards naturally didn't dare to block Feng Jun anymore. As for those crazy influencers, they were no match for Feng Jun's evolved physique.

With a gentle push of his hand, Feng Jun cleared a path through the crowd, and after meeting up with Han Wenbo, he immediately entered the Long'ao Building.

The lobby on the first floor was empty, with only a few receptionists sitting at the counter.

Upon seeing Han Wenbo, they immediately stood up and said, "Good morning, CEO Han!"

Han Wenbo nodded, then pointed to Feng Jun and said, "This is our President, Feng Jun.

This is his first time at the new headquarters, so remember him."

Then, Han Wenbo led Feng Jun towards the elevator, leaving the receptionists whispering behind them.

"He's the President?"

It's my first time seeing him; I only heard about him from the old employees before."

"He's so young, not what I imagined.

I thought he'd be an old man in his sixties."

"What's good about an old man? A young one is better.

It looks like he might not even be married."

"You? Don't even think about it.

Even if he's not married, how could it be our turn?

Don't you know that Fang Ziqing, the Marketing Department Manager, has always also served as the President's secretary?"

"That's all gossip; who told you that?"

...

Han Wenbo did not take Feng Jun on the public elevator, but instead took a modified luxury elevator.

The handrails inside were wrapped in genuine leather, the floor was covered with a thick carpet, and there were only two buttons: one for the first floor and one for the 51st floor, indicating it was an exclusive elevator for management.

"Why is it so extravagant? Do you have nowhere to spend the money I gave you?" Feng Jun asked.

"Haha, you, do you not even know your current net worth?" Han Wenbo said with some pride.

"How much could it be? Ten billion?" Feng Jun said.

He really had no concept of how much profit or market value the company could generate.

"From the IPO to now, our smart pet has generated a net profit of fifty billion RMB for us; this is the income after deducting all our expenses.

The market valuation of Sun and Moon Technology Company has exceeded one hundred and ten billion, and it is still growing.

You are already one of the top wealthy individuals in the country," Han Wenbo said excitedly.

Feng Jun was slightly surprised after hearing this; he hadn't expected to make money so quickly.

It seemed he had underestimated the market value brought by the smart pet.

With so much profit, it was no wonder Han Wenbo was so extravagant.

The Long'ao Building was originally an office building for rent, divided into several floors for lease, but it had not been fully rented out due to the high rent.

After the great success of the smart pet, Han Wenbo changed locations and leased the entire building.

The previous tenants, after receiving the compensation offered by Han Wenbo, happily moved out, so the entire Long'ao Building became the office space for Sun and Moon Technology Company.

The 51st floor, the top floor, was naturally the office area for senior management, where several of the largest and best rooms were opened up and specially designed to create a luxurious office area for Feng Jun.

The entire house was carpeted with Indian hand-woven rugs, and the entrance was covered with a tiger skin rug.

There were fully transparent floor-to-ceiling glass windows, finely carved solid wood furniture, magnificent landscape murals, and even a dedicated fitness area in the room.

Although Feng Jun was an absolute dictator in the Doomsday, his office there was like a slum compared to this one.

"You're always doing these flashy things.

How's the company doing recently? It seems you're leading it very well," Feng Jun said.

Han Wenbo smiled and said, "Thanks to you, how could it not be good?

I have a lot of things to tell you."

Han Wenbo began to report recent work to Feng Jun; a very interesting thing happened yesterday.

Due to the product's popularity, all smart pets are currently out of stock.

Fortunately, the initial reserves were sufficient, and a large profit was made shortly after the initial listing.

Now, the second batch of products is being processed, and the supply of various raw materials is also becoming complete.

Currently, all materials are basically ready, except for the processor chips.

The processors for the first batch of goods, according to Feng Jun's plan, used Intel's low-end i3 ninth-generation processors.

The quantity purchased at that time was enormous, and the transaction volume of over a billion even alarmed Intel's headquarters.

They couldn't understand why a small Chinese company would purchase so many low-end computer processors.

Could this be a shell company of a government department, specifically responsible for purchasing and assembling office computers for the Chinese government, given that the performance of this processor was only sufficient for document work?

However, Intel was very happy to have a generous customer willing to pay.

Although in recent years, due to the influence of America, chip exports to China have been restricted, strict control regulations have affected Intel's business in China.

At this time, such a large order was simply a godsend, and this low-end i3 ninth-generation processor was not on America's control list at all, so Intel immediately accepted the order without hesitation.

It is estimated that the executives of Intel were almost dying of laughter at the time, having rarely found such a big sucker, which almost solved all their low-end inventory.

However, it wasn't long before Intel was proven wrong.

Sun and Moon Technology launched a smart pet in mainland China.

The internal AI program perfectly simulated and restored the true habits of cats and dogs, and was able to perform reactions and calculations far beyond the current AI field.

It is important to know that the performance of AI is greatly related to the computing power of chips, and AI computing has always been Nvidia's strong suit.

According to Intel's internal research, to complete such complex calculations, even Nvidia's best professional computing graphics card, the A series, could only simulate less than one-tenth.

And this small company actually made it and successfully mass-produced it!

Furthermore, the smart pet's accompanying manual specified the exact parameters of their product.

Product Name: smart pet Generation One

Processor: Intel i3-9300.

Operating System: smart pet Generation One (Local AI)

...

These lines of text were practically slapping Intel in the face.

They clearly sold only low-end i3 processors, barely capable of office work and opening documents, so how could they become intelligent AI in someone else's hands!

And Microsoft and the America Department of Commerce also called.

Microsoft accused Intel of being underhanded, suspecting that Intel had given special treatment to Sun and Moon Technology.

The America Department of Commerce was even more direct, suspecting that Intel was secretly exporting chips that were explicitly prohibited from export to Chinese companies and demanded an investigation into Intel's transactions.

Just as Intel was overwhelmed with problems, Sun and Moon Technology approached them again, requesting to order a large quantity of chips of the same specifications again.

Although facing accusations and suspicions from allies and the government, Intel still eagerly ran to sign a trade contract with Sun and Moon Technology, agreeing to deliver five hundred thousand various chips meeting the requirements to Sun and Moon Technology within the next month.

As for Microsoft's suspicions and the Department of Commerce's investigation, they could go to hell.

Whoever pays is the boss.

At worst, they could let the Department of Commerce personally inspect the specifications of the shipped chips.

Intel did not want to lose Sun and Moon Technology, a customer with huge potential, so in these past two days, the president of Intel Asia personally came to Shangqing City to formally sign the trade contract with Sun and Moon Technology Company.
