Chapter 352

Over the next few days, Chen Mo and Sun Yuxiao were busier than the other. One was busy delivering and installing equipment for the major client from before the New Year. During this time, they finally waited for the Windows XP update. Two days after the update, a problem arose with the Intel CPU Level 2 cache. Because of this, AMD processors—especially the 3800+ model, which had previously offered a relatively affordable price-to-performance ratio—more than doubled in price. This was precisely the model Chen Mo had primarily stockpiled. At its peak price, he resold them to numerous CPU distributors, making a massive profit. As of now, Chen Mo's net worth was approaching 10 million, and it was still almost entirely in cash. By the end of the month, once the equipment for the major client was fully delivered, installed, and debugged, he would easily break the 10-million mark. In 2006, while this amount of wealth wasn't anything exceptionally extraordinary, it firmly placed him in the "moderately well-off" tier.
