Rebirth: Starting with 10 Billion Us Dollars

108: Chapter 108 Announcement of the Third Generation of TianxingWu Dongju pushed the door open and walked in, saying with a smile,

”Not bad, Chen Mo. I didn’t expect you to have such self-control. That Gan Weiwei isn’t bad-looking, yet you weren’t tempted at all?”

Chen Mo gave her a sidelong glance.

”Do you think I’m some kind of breeding stud who gets tempted by everyone I see? Besides, I can’t be bothered with a social climber like her.”

Wu Dongju curled her lip but said nothing.

Just then, Chen Mo’s phone suddenly rang; it was an unfamiliar overseas number.

After he picked up, a roar came from the other end of the line:

”Chen Mo! You bastard! What the hell are you trying to do?! All the community code for my Vine Company has been turned into gibberish by you! The system has crashed too!”

Chen Mo knew it was Jason as soon as he heard the voice and said with a chuckle,

”Mr. Jason, I’m not surprised you’re calling me, but I don’t really like your tone!”

”What do you mean ’I did it’? I don’t have that kind of free time. Maybe your own technology is just incompetent and a malfunction occurred?”

”Who else could it be but you?”

Jason was fuming.

”I know it was you! You found someone to hack our company’s computers! In these past two days, our company has lost tens of billions. If you don’t restore the code immediately, I’m not finished with you!”

When Chen Mo realized it was Jason, he had put the call on speakerphone. Hearing this from the side, Wu Dongju couldn’t help but laugh.

Chen Mo hadn’t just dealt with Old Jia; he hadn’t let Jason off the hook either!

Chen Mo said in a playful tone,

”Jason, you can eat whatever you want, but you can’t just say whatever you want. Do you have evidence that I did it?”

”Besides, you previously teamed up with US officials against me and conspired with Old Jia to stab me in the back, trying to collapse my Tianxing International Edition. I haven’t even settled that score with you yet. Consider this loss a lesson—just a bit of interest.”

”You! You’re simply unreasonable!”

Jason was beyond furious, then said,

”Chen Mo, I’m warning you, restore the code immediately. Otherwise, I will team up with the US officials again to completely ban Tianxing Short Video International Edition, making it impossible for you to move an inch overseas or earn a single cent!”

”Is that so?”

Chen Mo gave a cold laugh.

”You can try. But I’m reminding you, if you touch my International Edition again, I will completely destroy Vine and leave you with nothing. Not just the code—I’ll make your company and your assets all disappear. If you don’t believe me, just try me.”

With that, Chen Mo hung up directly, not giving Jason a chance to speak; he didn’t want to hear another word from him.

Wu Dongju stepped forward and hugged Chen Mo’s arm.

”Chen Mo, you’re so domineering! Truly the man I like!”

Meanwhile, rumors spread online about Vine being hacked, its system crashing, and losses of tens of billions. Netizens were in a complete frenzy:

”Hahaha! How satisfying! Jason finally has his day! Wasn’t he acting all tough before? Does it hurt now?”

”President Chen is awesome! He turned around and gave Jason a lesson. He dealt with Old Jia and handled Jason at the same time. He’s really done Dragon Country proud!”

”The rise of Dragon Country’s technology! President Chen is rubbing Eagle Country’s companies into the dirt. This is so cathartic!”

”Where are the dragon haters? Come out and say something! Why aren’t you bashing President Chen anymore? Didn’t you say President Chen couldn’t beat Jason? Does your face hurt from the slap?”

”Exactly! President Chen is the GOAT! Whether it’s Old Jia domestically or Jason abroad, anyone who dares to oppose President Chen ends up miserable!”

At 10:00 AM the day after the call with Jason, Tianxing Technology’s official Weibo, official website, and all Tianxing System platform accounts released a heavyweight announcement simultaneously:

”The tianxing third generation mobile phone will be officially launched domestically in three days.”

”Core Configuration:”

”It still features a full-screen design, equipped with a Tianxing self-developed bionic chip, supporting wireless and fast charging. It has a rear 12MP wide-angle + 12MP telephoto dual-camera setup, and a front 7MP TrueDepth camera, supporting fingerprint and Face ID unlocking.”

”The tianxing third generation is the world’s first smartphone equipped with a 10nm process chip. This chip and the supporting 10nm lithography machine were both independently developed by Tianxing Technology.”

Less than five minutes after the short hundred-word announcement was posted—

#tianxing third generation 10nm Chip#

#Tianxing Self-Developed Lithography Machine#

#Dragon Country Chip Overtaking on the Curve#

These three topics shot up like rockets into the top ten of the Weibo trending list. In less than half an hour, they swept the top three spots, followed by the ’Explosive’ tag.

Major social platforms were completely overrun. Comment sections and bullet chats were flooded with netizen discussions, pushing topics like Old Jia’s bankruptcy and Vine’s hacking to the back.

A certain ’God of the Chinese Music Scene’ who had intended to push for the top spot on the trending list today saw his topic get squeezed into oblivion yet again.

On Weibo, the comment count under Tianxing Technology’s official announcement skyrocketed, breaking 100,000 in just one minute.

”??? Am I seeing this right? A 10nm chip? And it’s self-developed? They even made a lithography machine?”

”Family, who understands this! Just when people were saying the US was strangling us with chips, President Chen pulls out a 10nm one. This is a dimensionality reduction strike!”

”The specs for the tianxing third generation are incredibly luxurious! The world’s first 10nm chip phone! Emm... I definitely have to get one!”

”Is there an expert here who can explain? The best the US has right now is 14nm, right? What does 10nm mean?”

A tech blogger soon posted a long article, and the top comment underneath was immediately voted to the number one spot:

”Simply put, the smaller the process, the stronger the chip performance and the lower the power consumption! Compared to 14nm, 10nm offers at least a 30% performance boost and 40% lower power consumption! Crucially, we built it ourselves and even mastered the lithography machine. This breaks decades of Western technological monopoly!”

Below this explanation, netizen comments were even more dense:

”Holy crap! Breaking the monopoly? President Chen has really straightened the spine of Dragon Country’s technology!”

”Some people were saying President Chen only knows how to do short videos. Does your face hurt now? The man is truly blossoming in all areas! Before we were catching up; now we’re surpassing overseas!”

”dragon haters, come here! Didn’t you say Dragon Country couldn’t build high-end chips? Didn’t you say lithography machines were the challenge of the century? President Chen just gave you a lesson!”

”Is it possible that President Chen has even more black tech in his hands? It’s terrifying to think about!”

On the Tianxing Short Video platform, videos about the related topics were flooding the feed. Tech streamers were all shouting excitedly:

”Family! A historic moment has arrived! Tianxing Technology has achieved what our entire semiconductor industry wanted to do! A 10nm chip plus a lithography machine—this time we must deify President Chen!”
