Chapter 216
Ryan still had some doubts.
After all, the young man appeared to be the same age as his
wn son, likely just 18.
“Let’s discuss this in your office,” Carlisle sald, sounding too exhausted to elaborate further.
The most convincing evidence would be to place the check on Ryan’s desk. However, he wanted to better understand the company before doing so.
Ryan brought them to his office.
Daniel pulled out a chair for Carlisle, saying, “Carl, take a seat.”
Carlisle settled into the chair without hesitation. Meanwhile, Ryan occupied his own desk.
With a smile, Carlisle extended his hand and said, “Let’s reintroduce ourselves. I’m Carlisle Zahn, the new
chairman of Riley Phones.”
Daniel looked at Carlisle in astonishment.
“Wait. He’s the chairman of a phone company?” Daniel muttered to himself, processing the name.
While he hadn’t heard much about Riley Phones, his admiration for Carlisle remained undiminished.
As Daniel gazed at Carlisle in astonishment, he couldn’t help but wonder, “Carl’s a billionaire, leading a phone company, and still in his first year of college. How on earth had he accomplished so much at such.
a young age?”
“Riley?”
Ryan shook hands with Carlisle. His expression shifted at the mention of Riley Phones.
The company was supposed to be his client, but they had suddenly backed out and partnered with
Terrence instead.
“Yeah, I acquired Riley Phones, Carlisle replied nonchalantly.
He sat and asked, “Do you have any issues with Riley?”
“Not really.” Ryan shook his head.
“We were discussing a collaboration, but they backed out and teamed up with Terrence instead. Can’t blame them, though. I saw it coming when Wind Corporation launched their new processor.”
Carlisle didn’t dwell on the topic further. Instead, he glanced at the display case behind Ryan.
“May I take a look at your processors?”
Behind Ryan’s chair was a display case with several processor models.
“Of course…” Ryan replied, reaching into the display case to retrieve his latest developed processor.
Chapter 216
The processor was rectangular and housed four different types of chips along with numerous electronic
components.
“This processor is getting close to Nexus Instruments‘ new OMAP1710, consuming even less power. The only thing we’re missing is their advanced packaging technology,” Ryan said, sounding proud as he leaned
back in his chair.
Nexus Instruments was a big name in the chip Industry. Most Nokia phones were using their chips.
Daniel scoffed.
“Carl doesn’t know anything about the OMAP1710. Why are you telling him this?”
Ryan shot Daniel a look.
*Do you really think Carl is clueless like you? If he’s in the business of making phones, he definitely knows his stuff about processors!”
Carlisle was indeed familiar with the OMAP1710 processor.It was presently a hot commodity in the smartphone market.
Running at an ARM frequency of 220 MHz, this upgraded processor was poised to dominate the multifunctional phone market for the next three years.
Moreover, it could even support the Symbian system.
Carlisle was surprised to learn that a processor of this caliber was being produced domestically.
He couldn’t understand why such an important project wasn’t receiving support from the government.
Adding to his confusion, he noticed that high–end domestic phone brands weren’t opting for these
processors.
In fact, Carlisle had never even heard of these two companies.
It dawned on Carlisle that Ryan might have connections at Nexus Instruments.
“This processor just isn’t good enough,” Carlisle said, handing it back to Ryan.
At Carlisle’s critique, Daniel’s expression subtly shifted.
His father was usually reserved and had a good temperament. But Ryan could lose his cool regarding
criticism of his processor.
Daniel looked nervously at his dad and saw him staring hard at Carlisle.
“Dad… Please, don’t get angry,” Daniel cautioned.
“Carl just saved your life!”
