Chapter 432: Chapter 432: Seraphina Sterling’s Identity Exposed (4)

"Makes sense!" Chester Sykes returned with a smile. No one could tell what either of them really meant.

’That might be what he said, but Chester Sykes knew deep down they would never work with Hale Corporation. Cooperating with a company that was constantly trying to acquire you? One wrong move and they’d swallow you whole before you even knew what happened. He was also certain Nadia Chapman wouldn’t make such a foolish decision. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have asked him to be the one to greet Kyle Warren.’

’While their friendship was real, Nadia Chapman knew him well. He held a grudge like no other. Work with Kyle Warren? Impossible! Besides, Keystone Technologies now had ample funding, a powerful R&D team, and promising market prospects. They didn’t need to partner with anyone.’

"President Chapman is truly impressive," Justin Hale said, his tone still perfectly amicable. ’He had come today to see for himself just what Keystone Technologies had managed to produce in over two months. As for Kyle Warren, he must be here representing an electronics R&D firm.’

"Thank you for the compliment. I’m still a newcomer, so I hope to learn a lot from you, Mr. Hale," Nadia Chapman said, leading Justin Hale directly to the VIP seats.

The other industry insiders already present watched this unfold, a flicker of confusion in their eyes. ’Have Hale Corporation and Keystone Technologies already buried the hatchet?’

’And Kyle Warren and Chester Sykes have made up too?’

’For such a deep-seated grudge to be resolved... does this mean the two companies are going to work together?’

All sorts of possibilities swirled in their minds, but they simply couldn’t figure out what was going on. Hale Corporation’s electronics R&D division had always been at the forefront of the industry, monopolizing all the high-profit projects. Any company that threatened its interests would be mercilessly crushed by them.

Previously, Keystone Technologies had been the only one brave enough to challenge Hale Corporation. But after Keystone split, Kyle Warren defected to Hale’s side, taking the company’s research and development with him. Hale Corporation remained the undisputed leader in the electronics R&D industry. Keystone Technologies, for its part, had decisively cut its software development business to focus solely on digital electronics. In terms of business scope, the two companies no longer needed to compete since they were in different sectors. But if they were to join forces... would there be any room left for marginal companies like theirs to survive?

Most of them had come to Keystone Technologies’ product launch expecting to see if the company could truly pull off a complete transformation. The majority were just there for the show, hoping to see a failure. They never imagined they’d witness such a chummy scene between the two rivals, and it left them all feeling deeply unsettled.

"We are delighted to have all you industry elites take time from your busy schedules to join us for Keystone Technologies’ new product launch. After two months of tireless effort from our entire R&D team, Keystone Technologies is proud to present a new type of smartphone—the Stoney! In addition to its meticulously crafted exterior, we’ve integrated advanced photography, music, and video functions to meet every consumer need, anytime, anywhere..."

The product launch was underway. The host was doing an excellent job, highlighting all the new product’s advantages and selling points in just a few sentences. The audience was left speechless with surprise. The reporters’ eyes lit up, and the representatives from rival companies were too shocked to conceal their expressions. Everyone in that room was an industry elite, and simply by hearing the selling points, they could already foresee the massive storm this phone would unleash upon its release.

’Keystone Technologies really knows what it’s doing.’ Now, it wasn’t the software companies that had to worry; it was the digital electronics firms. A competitor this formidable had appeared out of nowhere! The moment Keystone Technologies launched this product, it would shatter the existing digital electronics market and carve out a huge piece of the pie!
