Episode 20 recap: Zhang Hai Chao Driven to the Brink by Lin Guang Yao
In episode 20, Zhang Hai Chao and his team had worked tirelessly for six months to develop a music chip, hoping it could help turn the company's fortunes around. But the harsh reality was that Lin Guang Yao's Boya Xuangang company had beaten them to the punch, launching a cheaper chip that pushed their product out of the market.
This put Zhang Hai Chao in a real bind. In order to pay his team's salaries, he had to borrow money from all over, with creditors constantly calling to demand repayment - it was a real headache.
However, Zhang Hai Chao didn't give up. He discovered that Lin Guang Yao's chip orders had a two-month gap, which presented an opportunity. He quickly called Huang Lin Xi in Shenzhen and asked her to use that window to sell their chip in the Huaqiangbei market.
To save money, Huang Lin Xi was staying in a cheap guesthouse in terrible condition - damp rooms infested with cockroaches. When Zhang Hai Chao found out, he wanted Jiang Wei to book her a nicer hotel, but Huang Lin Xi refused and told Jiang Wei not to tell Zhang Hai Chao.
Huang Lin Xi spent several days trying to sell the chip in Huaqiangbei, but without success. She later reached out to Ni Zhixiong through Jin Wen, hoping to secure his order, but he refused to buy. This disappointed Huang Lin Xi, but she didn't give up.
Meanwhile, Li Dong Sheng's company's IPO plans had fallen through, and he couldn't borrow money anywhere - it was one disaster after another. His parents even wanted to sell their house to help him, but he refused to let them suffer. He also broke up with Ou Yang Zi Xia, not wanting her to endure the hardship with him.
At this point, Huang Lin Xi discovered a setback - Ni Zhixiong had signed an exclusive agreement with Lin Guang Yao, so he couldn't buy their chip even if the Huaqiangbei market was short. She quickly relayed this to Zhang Hai Chao, and Jin Wen suggested they urgently develop a cheaper video chip to dominate the market.
After the breakup, Ou Yang Zi Xia was devastated, and Huang Lin Xi comforted her for a long time. Li Dong Sheng decided to start over and try entrepreneurship again. Zhang Hai Chao and Liu Han discussed converting their existing music chip into a video chip, even though Liu Han thought it would be difficult.
Liu Han himself was also facing trouble, as his wife had filed for divorce, leaving him helpless. In the end, everyone had their own problems, but they were all trying to find solutions. Hopefully, they can all overcome their difficulties soon.
