Back to the Past: Breaking the Love Spell

Ryan thought about it and felt it couldn't be right. Lethan was only in his early 30s. Even if he had an illegitimate child, the child couldn't be that old.

"We're just business partners, Carlisle said with a smile.

"Then who are your parents?"

Anyone who could partner with a business mogul like Lethan must be of considerable standing.

Carlisle was losing patience.

"Do I really need to go into all this with you?"

It was just a business deal, yet Ryan was prying into his personal life.

"Carl Daniel glanced anxiously at Carlisle, then back at his father.

"Dad, Carl's already written the check. What else do you want?

Ryan took a deep breath and settled into his chair, focusing on the document on his computer screen.

"Multi-touch screen interaction functionality!"

The first feature alone hooked Ryan instantly.

He was stunned as he read through the three pages describing this concept. The idea of launching phone. apps by simply touching the screen seemed straight out of science fiction.

While touch screens were not unheard of, they were mainly used in imported CNCquipment.

However, the concept of applying touchscreen technology to phones baffled Ryan. No phone manufacturer had even considered it yet.

As Ryan examined the diagrams of the phone models, he couldn't help but be impressed by the full-

screen design.

The document ran over hundreds of pages. As Ryan sifted through it, he couldn't help but visualize operating a full-screen phone.

After flipping through nearly 20 pages, Ryan felt like his entire outlook had been shaken to its core.

His heart pounded, his breath quickened, and excitement surged through him.

Compared to this revolutionary phone, those big-name brands on the market seemed like ants.

"Dad... You don't look too good. Are you feeling unwell?"

Noticing his father trembling with a pale face, Daniel couldn't help but feel concerned.

Ryan shook his head and gestured to his son.

"Daniel, could you step outside for a moment?"

Daniel appeared cautious.

"I'm not leaving. I'm worried you might lose your temper, and things could get physical.

Ryan's lips twitched with a mix of amusement and exasperation:

"I won't lose my temper. Just step out for a bit, I need to discuss something important with Carl."

Daniel furrowed his brows, hesitating as he glanced at Carlisle.

Carlisle nodded reassuringly.

"Go on, Daniel."

Daniel reluctantly rose from his seat.

Casting a watchful glance at his father, he urged, "Keep your cool!"

After delivering his message, he left the office, leaving the door slightly open behind him.

Outside, Daniel remained vigilant, prepared to step in if things got out of hand between his father and Carlisle.

Inside the office, Ryan lit a cigarette and then spoke in a low voice, "This phone you're proposing will revolutionize the entire era. Who's the genius behind this design?"

Carlisle brushed it off, saying. "That's not your concern. I just need you to develop the chip I want."NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

Ryan chuckled and shook his head, "I can't do it. It would be challenging to produce even with the most. advanced technology from Nexus Instruments. It's at least two years out of reach."

The phone Carlisle envisioned was too powerful. It required a chip with computer-level capabilities to achieve all its functions.

It was like turning a phone into a miniature computer.

And not to mention, even if chip development were possible, them current phone components on the market wouldn't meet the requirements of this phone.

Carlisle smiled nonchalantly.

"I just want you to explore this direction. I'm not asking for immediate results."

"1

He knew how challenging chip development could be.

Even powerhouse companies like Ember; their first processors were based on CRM chip technology.

Both companies were global tech giants that had dominated the tech era since the 90s and were expected to thrive for decades to come.

All smart chip manufacturers would need to license architecture technology from CRM in the future.

Ryan did a quick cost estimate and looked at Carlisle.

"Do you know how much investment it would take to develop the chip for this phone?"
