BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1197: 1194
With enough money, one naturally starts to care about reputation!
But the truth is, Thomas Corporation paid a heavy price for the chip research and development for this country!
Due to the need for substantial funding, and the inability to channel it through the state, everything was fronted by Thomas Corporation.
In order to support chip research and development, he sold many of Thomas Corporation’s subsidiaries, including Thomas Corporation itself!
Up until now, Thomas Corporation only has a few hotels left, along with its main real estate business!
The market value has shrunk from over three hundred billion at its peak to just eighty billion!
So, who dares to say that Linus White’s success has nothing to do with Thomas Corporation?
Furthermore, the Imperial Guards and intelligence organizations currently operate their headquarters in the villa area owned by Thomas Corporation!
All one can say is that they’ve paid far too much for this moment!
“Good… good…”
Oliver Walker’s body was shaking violently. For this moment, who knows how long he had waited?
Zooey cried!
The intel agents responsible for base security had been on edge for a full three months!
And the Imperial Guards were no different.
George Lee hugged Zooey and roared loudly, “We’ve done it!”
“We’ve succeeded!”
They were wildly ecstatic!
Truly wildly ecstatic!
They had thought it would take at least three years, or even five, to successfully manufacture the first independently developed 5nm chip, but they never expected that it would only take three months!
This was a miracle!
An incredibly hard-to-create miracle!
“Hahaha…”
Oliver Walker said excitedly, laughing, “I will commend everyone to the higher-ups, and it’ll be the highest commendation!”
He stepped forward, grabbed Mark Thomas’s hand, and said with uncontrollable emotion, “Mr. Thomas, you’ve worked hard!”
“Truly, you’ve worked hard!”
Indeed, they could carry on because, as soldiers, they had to shoulder their responsibility.
In contrast, Mark Thomas was just a businessman!
No!
He was an entrepreneur!
A great patriotic entrepreneur with the country in his heart!
“Don’t say that, this country is our country!”
“You are in charge of fighting, they are in charge of research and development!”
“Though I’m but a mere civilian, I’m willing to offer what little I can for our homeland!”
Mark Thomas said forcefully, “It is I who should thank you, actually!”
“Thank you for your trust, allowing me, and the whole Thomas Corporation, to take part in this historic project!”
“I’d like to see who the fuck dares to say again that our people from this country are just a lower race of yellow-skinned, low-intelligence people!”
“Fuck them!”
He was an educated man!
He was a man who was used to being in power, a true noble, yet at this moment, he swore.
Not because of low quality, but out of sheer exhilaration!
As a businessman, he had seen too much foreign disdain, and his heart had longed countless times for the day his country would be strong!
“Let’s not thank each other anymore!”
“Let’s go!”
“To celebrate with Mr. White and the others!”
Oliver Walker shouted excitedly, “And for all the heroes who have sacrificed for the chip cause and now rest beneath the soil of this country!”
“Not one less!”
If one were to trace back to the godly hands in the chip domain, no one would stand out more than Hunter Jones, who, sadly, did not live to see this moment; otherwise, he would have died with a smile on his face.
At the same time, Oliver Walker picked up the phone on the table, only to realize that there was a new message he hadn’t noticed before.
Upon seeing its content, his expression abruptly changed!
“What’s wrong?”
Due to her professional sensitivity, Zooey immediately sensed the surge of fury in Oliver Walker.
Oliver Walker’s expression turned cold, “Ellie Will led an attack on the chip research and development base!”
As his words fell, the faces of George Lee, Zooey, and Mark Thomas turned cold instantly!
The Photolithography Machine had just been built, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation was already on it?
“Motherfucker!”
“Bastards!”
“The chip research and development base cannot have any slip-ups!”
George Lee promptly said, “I’m calling in the troops for support now!”
