Chapter 2835 Chip sanctions!
"How could this happen? It doesn't make sense!"
Solomon couldn't hold it in any longer and his emotions got a little out of control.
In the past, a random interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve could influence the outcome of a financial war. If one rate cut didn’t work, then it would do it a second time, and a third time. In short, once the interest rate cut was used, there was basically nothing that couldn’t be solved.
Even if interest rate cuts fail to solve the problem, trade sanctions will definitely be able to stabilize the situation and force the opponent to kneel and beg for mercy!
But now the hegemonic country has cut interest rates and imposed trade sanctions, and even introduced a "short selling ban" that has never been used before!
Now the market is falling instead of rising?
This is like playing "Honor of Kings", with six pieces of legendary equipment plus red and blue buffs, plus the dragon buff, and a solo against a person who has no buffs and no legendary equipment. You use all your skills and your ultimate hits the opponent, but the opponent only loses some blood!
Who wouldn't collapse after seeing this?
Solomon soon learned the reason for the incident.
Michelle wiped the sweat off his face and reported: "Mr. Rothschild, Moyuan Capital has just issued an announcement to counterattack the Hegemony. Daxia has also announced a high-profile sanctions against the Hegemony!!!"
"What?! Da Xia dares to fight back?!"
Solomon said incredulously.
According to past experience, shouldn't the Great Xia Kingdom strongly condemn and urge the hegemonic country to retract its decision, instead of just talking big?
Why is the Great Xia Kingdom so tough this time?
“Moyuan Capital’s counterattack this time is particularly strong!
Hongmeng Lab has just announced that it is now able to mass-produce 5nm chips with a super high yield rate!
The announcement released at the same time was that 5nm chips are prohibited from being sold to hegemonic countries!
In addition, Moyuan Capital has also set up a chip alliance, which includes all companies capable of producing advanced chips such as Sansang Group, Sakura Country Group, AML, Jidian, MediaTek, etc., and imposed a "chip ban" on the hegemonic country!
Once the ban is implemented, not only will the world's most advanced chip process such as 5nm be unable to be purchased by the dominant countries, but even the production capacity of practical chips such as 7nm, 10nm and 13nm will be greatly affected!!!"
Michelle said with a trembling voice and rapid breathing.
boom! ! !
Solomon's head suddenly exploded!!!
What will happen if Chen Mo is really determined to carry out the chip ban?
The most advanced chips are the key to the development of many cutting-edge technologies, such as artificial intelligence and quantum computing.
Without it, the pace of innovation in relevant fields of the hegemony may slow down significantly, and many scientific research projects that rely on advanced chips will be difficult to advance, resulting in the gradual reduction of the hegemony's leading edge in these emerging technology fields!!!
Technology giants such as Pingguo and Yingweida will be hit hard, their product performance improvement will be limited, and their market competitiveness will decline!!!
Imagine if there is no way to get the most advanced chips, the performance of products such as Pingguo mobile phones will be difficult to compete with competitors, and it may lose some market share, affecting the company's revenue and profits.
By then, Daxia’s most advanced mobile phone will replace it!!!
The chip industry is one of the important pillars of a hegemonic country's economy. The loss of the most advanced chips means reduced revenue for related companies and a shrinking industry scale.
Hegemonic chip companies such as Intel and Qualcomm will lose a large number of orders, which will not only affect the companies themselves, but also affect the upstream and downstream industrial chains, such as semiconductor equipment manufacturing, chip raw material supply and other industries, resulting in insufficient overall economic growth momentum!!!
In the previous life, in 2021, the global chip shortage caused the hegemony to lose hundreds of billions of hegemonic currency. In this life, if the hegemony does not have the most advanced chip technology, the economic losses will only be more serious, and it may also trigger a wave of unemployment in related industries, causing an impact on the stability of the hegemony's domestic economy!!!
This is just the economic aspect, the most terrifying thing is the impact in the military field!!!
Although some military equipment do not require extremely advanced chip technology, advanced chips can be used in key systems such as radar, communications, electronic combat, and environmental simulation, and can improve the performance and intelligence level of military equipment.
If Chen Mo really doesn’t sell 5nm chips to Baguo, Baguo’s research and development and upgrading of new military equipment will be affected, and eventually its military technology advantage will be gradually weakened!!!
Under a series of comprehensive reactions, the hegemonic country's final international status and global influence will decline in all aspects!
You are the world's most powerful country, but you don't have the most advanced chip technology. Who will recognize you as the number one?
When Solomon thought of this, he couldn't even breathe smoothly.
No wonder the financial markets reacted so violently!
No wonder the Great Xia Kingdom dares to talk about "sanctions of the same level"!
It turns out that they were not bragging!
But they really have the strength to go head-to-head with the hegemonic country!!!
Michelle continued to report: "Not only that... Daxia also announced a sanctions list, which listed more than 30 hegemonic companies in one go!
All are high-tech enterprises!!!
Among them are leading companies such as Juruan and Pingguo! ! ! "
Solomon was shocked and said: "By doing this, isn't Daxia afraid of having no operating system to use?
With so many software programs, Daxia Country just decided not to use them?"
Michelle smiled bitterly and said, "Two years ago, Daxia Country worked with Chen Mo's Hongmeng Laboratory to develop the most advanced operating system.
Made purely in China, not a single line of code written by foreigners!
Moreover, it combines the strengths of both iSoftStone and Pingguo operating systems, and 80% of the software has been adapted. If iSoftStone and Pingguo dare to fight back, the only two companies that will suffer will be these two companies.
Mr. Rothschild...Our technology is no longer capable of sanctioning Daxia!
The Great Xia Kingdom is no longer the Great Xia Kingdom of the past, but the Hegemony Kingdom has been stagnant in recent years..."
“Huff~~~Huff~~~Huff~~~”
It was eerily quiet in the office.
There was only the sound of Solomon's heavy breathing and heartbeat.
Everyone looked at Solomon at this moment, holding their breath, for fear of angering this plague god who might get angry at any time.
“Then let Pingguo and Juruan produce their own chips!
It’s not like our hegemonic country doesn’t have the ability to produce chips!!!
I just don’t believe it. Without Daxia, we still can’t make chips!!!”
Solomon roared!
"I still... I really can't make it..."
Michelle smiled bitterly and said, “In the early years, you thought that the assembly line was too low-end and the profit margin was low, so you split the production line and gave it to many countries with cheap labor costs to operate.
Most of the production lines are located in Daxia.
If Daxia stops construction, it will take at least half a year for Baguo to rebuild these assembly lines, even if our people work overtime regardless of cost. But according to my understanding of Baguo people, they can stretch this time to at least 2 years. "
"Two years. Even if we have made 2nm chips by then, what use will it be?"
