Chapter 991: 986 held a press conference

He didn’t care in the least about the way these guys treated him.

Perhaps they were truly content with themselves, but it didn’t matter.

If he could accept it. After all, he no longer had Tangtang or Ji Pianran by his side.

He could fully commit himself to the struggle.

He didn’t have to care about all the messy issues and didn’t need to pay them any mind.

Nothing could possibly hinder his progress.

Next, Gu Chen was merely waiting for himself, not knowing how much longer he would have to wait.

But his one virtue was his immense patience.

No matter how long it took, he was willing to continue waiting.

And on such a day, bad news finally arrived.

Even though Gu Chen had anticipated this happening before,

there was still a hint of helplessness on his face at this moment.

Because with his current abilities, it seemed unlikely to change the situation, which was that there were still issues with the supplier.

For some reason, something that had already been settled

had suddenly undergone a change.

The supplier had directly refused to supply them.

They were even willing to pay a penalty, and the goods provided by this supplier were of considerable importance.

It was nothing else but the smartphone chips.

Previously, everything had seemed fine, because if it weren’t,

then the samples wouldn’t have been possible to produce.

Nobody could understand what these guys were thinking.

After all, they abandoned such a big deal just like that.

Considering there are not many players in the development of smartphones nowadays,

these chips can be considered the most vital part of a phone.

The fact that Gu Chen’s team was willing to purchase them was in itself quite a rare occurrence.

And on such a day, Lei Mi also came to Gu Chen.

He questioned President Gu with a sense of urgency.

Because he was really worried that something significant might happen at the last minute.

"President Gu, the situation now is really complicated. It’s as if these guys have received some news.

They absolutely don’t want to sell those items to us.

No matter what we say, they are hesitant.

I strongly suspect there is a problem here."

He stood in front of Gu Chen and said this very seriously.

His eyes also revealed a trace of anger.

If there were no smartphone chips, it meant that mass production of phones was impossible.

The consequences of not being able to mass-produce phones don’t need to be stated.

It also meant that all the efforts over this long period were in vain.

That’s why Lei Mi was showing such urgency.

In his heart, he was even praying incessantly, hoping that the manufacturer on the other end would change their attitude.

But to his surprise, their stance was extremely firm.

There was absolutely no room for compromise; they refused to release the chips no matter what.

And he had gone about investigating the matter very conscientiously.

After his thorough investigation, he quickly understood the cause and effect.

"Based on my meticulous investigation, I’ve come up with a possibility."

He said this to Gu Chen, very seriously and earnestly at that moment.

After hearing this, Gu Chen looked curious and somewhat puzzled.

But at the same time, Gu Chen felt as if he had already guessed the reason.

"Based on the current situation as I understand it, it seems that some people have offered them a higher price.

And they’ve been instructed not to sell these things to us—there must be a problem."

There has to be a reason, that’s just it," Gu Chen said.

When he spoke, he almost had the appearance of gritting his teeth.

As if he desperately wanted to bite into something right then.

Gu Chen nodded upon hearing this, showing no particular strong reaction.

Because Gu Chen was very clear that this situation was an inevitability.

And those who wanted to monopolize the chips—

If he wasn’t wrong, it couldn’t be anyone else since there was only one possibility in front of him.

Apart from them, Gu Chen truly couldn’t think of anyone else who would do such a thing.

It must be those communications conglomerates after all, only they had such substantial financial power.

And only they would do such a thing.

At that moment, even Gu Chen found it somewhat amusing.

They really were unscrupulous in achieving their goals.

If they could do such a thing,

at this point Lei Mi was very anxious, which could also be described as very worried.

But looking at Gu Chen, he couldn’t detect any sign of emotion on his face.

It was as if Gu Chen didn’t care about these things at all.

However, the reason why Gu Chen was so composed at this point

was because he had already anticipated this situation well before.

That’s why he didn’t have much of a reaction.

This kind of event didn’t surprise him; on the contrary, he would have found it strange if it hadn’t happened.

The communication merchants had likewise already received the news; they were indeed very well-informed.

Probably also because of the recent major developments.

Mass production of smartphones naturally required people.

And purchasing so many communication modules, the communication conglomerates would definitely take notice.

They would inevitably investigate the reasons behind it.

An investigation like that would naturally unearth everything.

The reason why Gu Chen was not at all flustered at this time was that he was very clear in his mind.

He knew that what he was doing now was still premature.

He actually didn’t need to worry about these things at this time.

After all, he had plenty of time; if need be, he could just wear them down slowly.

Gu Chen was unshakably confident that it would not end up being to his disadvantage.

And at this time, he spoke directly to him.

"Don’t panic, don’t be chaotic, and don’t break ranks. The situation hasn’t reached that point yet,"

Gu Chen said to him at that moment.

He could clearly feel the firmness that emanated from Gu Chen’s eyes.

As if he considered all these issues to be insignificant.

At that moment, for a while, he didn’t know how to continue talking with Gu Chen.

Gu Chen’s calmness made his current panic seem rather ridiculous.

But he was truly anxious in his heart because he knew that if things continued this way,

the inability to mass-produce the phones would render all the efforts up to this point meaningless.

So he was extremely anxious internally.
