Back to the Past: Breaking the Love Spell



Chapter 718

Carlisle had been absorbed in work lately, and he only found himself plagued with feelings of longing when it was late at night.

Christine said, "We haven't been in much contact lately, and Wanda's phone has been turned off for the past couple of days."

Carlisle sighed. "It's getting late. Get some rest."

After hanging up, he drank half a glass of white wine.

Although it was cold outside, Carlisle felt hot as he sat by the grill and ate barbecued meat while drinking white wine.

On the 13th of January, the top post on all the web portals was Xenos Technology's advertisement for hiring at high salaries.

A lively discussion began on Widetalk Forum.

All the major human resources companies immediately put their staff to work to find experts in semiconductors.

Starting that afternoon, countless people began streaming in and out of Xenos Technology. The deserted gates of the factory area soon livened up with cabs stopping there every so often...

All the semiconductor factories immediately raised their salaries, afraid their technicians would collectively leave.

At Premier Technology, Bernard was taking a call in his office.

Bernard said bitterly, "If we don't raise their salaries, we won't be able to retain these talents ..."

The chairman of Microconductors was on the other end of the phone. He said calmly, "I heard that Xenos Technology is planning on developing their own chip. Only 20 percent of the multi-core processor that Wind Semiconductors launched last year consists of their own technology. In other words, it's a high-quality knockoff. Xenos Technology is just digging its own grave!"

Although there were numerous semiconductor factories in the country, there were only four that could manufacture mobile phone CPUs.

They were Wind Semiconductors, Xenos Technology, Holden Microchips International, and Taywan Semiconductors.

90 percent of the phones on the market were from overseas, and locally produced phones only took up ten percent.

The foreign phones that took up 90 percent of the market were all manufactured by Taywan Semiconductors and Holden Microchips International.

Wind Semiconductors and Xenos Technology took up half of the remaining ten percent respectively, adding to the domestically made knockoff CPUs. Xenos Technology had slowly

been overshadowed by Wind Semiconductors.

That was just the OEMS. The CPUs they worked on were all from overseas.

The country had yet to develop a mobile phone CPU of its own. Orion had only just established Orion-Haigh, which focused research on chips.

"Young people have many ideas. Perhaps he might succeed," Bernard said, a smile playing about his lips.

After a moment's silence, the person on the other end sighed. "I hope so. At least he's brave enough to do something. I actually kind of admire them. If we can really make our own phone CPUs, we'll be able to hold our heads up high in the International business world too!"

Carlisle stayed at Xenos Technology for the entire day.

There were about 30 people who had come to apply that day, and there were several foreigners among them.

Ryan had contacted a renovation company to renovate the other offices in the building. He had also told the purchasing department to buy a thousand sets of office desks and computers.

When Carlisle walked out of Xenos Technology, he suddenly received a call from Shania.

If Shania was calling him, it meant the fish market prices had risen, or she had found a sales channel.

Carlisle picked up and smiled as he said, "Shania, I'm guessing you have good news."noveldrama

"Yes. The prices of most of our aquaculture products have increased by one and a half times. By the time spring comes around, it might have become twice as high." Shania sounded unexpectedly calm. She did not seem to be in a good mood.

"Is there something on your mind, Shania?" Carlisle asked, puzzled. "Wanda..."
