Thomas Villa.
After Mark Thomas rushed back from the company, he came to the study room. He smiled and said, “If you have anything to say, just say it. As long as it’s within my means, I will definitely do it.”
He, his life, and the entire Thomas Company were saved by Oliver Walker. With such a relationship, even if they had not known each other for long, it was enough to trust him.
Mark Thomas was not an ungrateful person. He always wanted to repay the kindness he owed others. This way, he would feel more comfortable.
“Mr. Thomas, I have a favor to ask of you this time!”
Oliver Walker frowned. “But I don’t want to lie to you. If it works, Thomas
Corporation will soar. If it fails, you…. You would know the consequences.”
This was not an exaggeration! Once the chip was successfully developed, Thomas Corporation would become a top company in the country. If they failed, bankruptcy would be the lightest consequence.
“Hiss…”
Seeing Oliver Walker’s expression, Mark Thomas gasped. He knew that things were unusual, but he would do what he said! Merchants valued profits, but he valued friendship more!
“Eastern Alliance? You should have heard that they cut off the supplies for the chips?”
Oliver Walker tried to beat around the bush. With Mark Thomas’s identity, he definitely would have heard of the news by now. After all, they are many industries that need those chips. Without the chips, the entire production line would be stopped!
“Of course, I know! Even before I was kidnapped, there was already a shortage of chips. Therefore, I made some preparations before this. I stocked up enough goods for at least two years so that my company would run normally.”
Mark Thomas’s foresight was not false. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Thomas Company to grow bigger and bigger. He thought that Oliver Walker was short of chips. Therefore, he said it without hesitation. This was a form of trust.
But soon, when he saw that Oliver Walker’s expression was not relaxed but more solemn, he realized the seriousness of the matter. “You’re not asking me to make chips, are you?” Mark Thomas asked in shock.
“Yes!” Oliver Walker nodded.
An incredulous expression appeared on Mark Thomas ‘face! He was stunned for a long time and could not say a word!
The atmosphere froze!
Three minutes later, Mark Thomas took a deep breath. “It’s not that I don’t want to help. I just can’t do anything about it! You think too highly of me!
“Although the Thomas Corporation is involved in the smart industry, it is still far from being able to manufacture chips. You might not know this, but to make a chip, in addition to the blueprint, we also need a photolithographic machine, which we don’t have.”
“In the entire world, the only one who controls the technology of the photolithographic machine is the Eastern Alliance!
“Plus…..
“I know all this!” Oliver Walker suddenly said.
Mark Thomas’s expression became more and more interesting!
Even if Oliver Walker knew, he still wanted him to make it? Was he crazy, or did he think that Mark Thomas was some sort of god?
Although he knew that Oliver Walker might have encountered a very tricky problem, he was indeed helpless. “Then, do you know that our country invested tens of billions in the military industry, but there hasn’t been a single ripple?”
That represented the highest level of manufacturing of the country and which was also the highest core technology. The research team inside had gathered the best from the country!
“I know that too but I’m not talking to you as a person! I represent the entire country..
Oliver Walker frowned. “I can understand if you choose to refuse, but…”
“It’s about the future of the country. Whether or not you can control your own destiny. So, before you reject me, I hope you can consider it carefully!”
If they couldn’t break through this issue, it would be a huge blow to the entire country.
Microchips are important in modern society. They were everywhere. From military planes, tanks, and cannons, to civilian cars, mobile phones, and even watches.
The effect in the future would only be even greater!
