Chapter 211
Logan did not feel happy even after Carlisle expressed his satisfaction.
Strictly speaking, Carlisle was the one who designed the phone. Whether it was the appearance or structure, he had drawn it all.
They only used the computer program to recreate the drawing on the sketch paper.
Carlisle picked up a pencil and wrote “120MP‘ beside the drawing of the camera. Then, he wrote ” 1400mAh nickel–cadmium battery” next to the battery. Finally, he wrote “320×480” on the phone screen.
Then, Carlisle handed the drawing to the three suppliers.
“Take a look at my hardware requirements. Assess how much investment you need to upgrade your equipment and develop these new products.”
The three suppliers were stunned after seeing the phone model on the drawing. If this was indeed a phone, they wondered where the buttons were and how one would use the phone without any buttons.
They wondered if anyone would even buy such a phone.
Carlisle took a sip of water.
He smiled while explaining, “I know you’re quite shocked and puzzled. But you don’t have to worry about all of that. All you need to do is provide me with the hardware!”
Edward, Harry, and Simon gradually recovered from their shock and spent more than ten minutes studying the drawings.
Then, they spent half an hour on the phone discussing with their respective companies.
Edward was the first to confirm.
His voice trembled as he said, “Mr. Zahn, I need an investment of 50 million dollars!”
The phone screen was an essential piece of hardware. The manufacturing process would be rather complicated, thus requiring higher funds. In fact, 50 million dollars was merely an initial assessment given by his company’s R&D engineers.
Carlisle nodded. He sipped his tea as he waited for Simon’s reply.
After some time, Simon responded, “Mr. Zahn, I only need five million dollars worth of investment. But if you want to hold majority shares, you’ll need to invest ten million!”
Carlisle hummed and nodded again while waiting for Harry’s response.
Ten minutes later, Harry walked over before saying “I need 15 million dollars!”
Everyone in the office stared at Carlisle. They wondered if he could indeed come up with 75 million dollars.
“I’ll invest in all of your companies!”
Carlisle’s words stunned everyone. They took a sharp Intake of breath. They wondered which wealthy family he came from.
Only Hank was unable to calm down even after a long time. It had not been that long since they last met. Yet, Carlisle had almost a hundred million worth of assets already.
At this moment, Carlisle said to Logan, “Ms. Cooper, please draft an investment plan!”
He then turned to the three suppliers and continued, “Send your share transfer agreements to me by tomorrow!”
After exchanging pleasantries, Edward, Harry, and Simon left the office, leaving only Logan and Hank.
Hank hoarsely said, “You should have acquired their companies.”
Logan nodded in agreement.
“I concur. After our smartphone is released, there will be significant changes in the mobile phone industry.
“Smartphones will continue to emerge. In fact, those phone manufacturers will definitely approach our three suppliers to purchase their hardware!”
Carlisle smiled faintly.
“I don’t have enough funds and energy to control that many companies. In fact, the batteries and cameras used for our first–generation phones are not very valuable.
“While the price of the phone screen may be slightly higher, we don’t have the right connections in the area. In fact, Edward has no intention of transferring over his company.”
He gazed at the time after speaking. It was 1:00 pm. Carlisle stood up and stretched lazily.
“Come on. Let’s go for lunch!”
The three of them went to a nearby restaurant and ordered some dishes. Hank ate as if he had not eaten for days.
Logan could not help but say disdainfully, “Can’t you eat slowly? No one is competing with you!”
“It’s none of your business,” Hank mumbled, glaring at her.
Logan frowned.
“As a director, shouldn’t you pay attention to your image and manners?”
Hank slammed his utensils on the table angrily.
“Let’s just eat. Why spout so much nonsense?”
Logan retorted, “It’s no wonder you have no girlfriend at the age of 26. No one would want to be with someone as sloppy as you!”
Hank picked up his utensils and casually said, “Sorry to disappoint you, but I do have a girlfriend. Unlike someone who has not even touched a man’s hand even though she’s in her 30s. She was even almost

Logan was furious as she gazed at Hank through gritted teeth. Meanwhile, Hank laughed while continuing
