Chapter 2845: Castrated version of the chip, and a price increase?
"what?!"
Bill Geci could no longer suppress his anger, and stood up all of a sudden, saying angrily: "Mr. Chen, do you know how much pressure I have endured for this trip to Daxia?"
"I agreed to all your conditions, just for the 5nm chip! How could you sell us a castrated version?"
Chen Mo smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong, this castrated version is only used to refer to people we know."
Bill Geci's expression eased a little: "What about the outside world?"
"We will announce it as a 'special edition' to the public." Chen Mo said with a serious expression.
Bill Geci: “…”
He remained silent for a long time, waiting for Chen Mo's next words, but... there was no next words!
"Is... that all?" Bill Geci said in surprise.
"Yeah, it's over." Chen Mo scratched his head: "Are you still dissatisfied with anything?"
"What about the performance? Is it just a different name, but the performance is the same?" Bill Geci asked impatiently.
"Look at you, Mr. Bill, you're acting on your temper again.
It's called a castrated version, how can it have the same performance!" Chen Mo said with a smile.
Bill Geci: “…”
He was completely speechless this time!
Well, you are just making a fuss about the name, right?
"Mr. Chen, I came here with sincerity, but I don't think you are sincere." Bill Geci said angrily.
"Didn't you treat us like this before?
You even go one step further, not only do you charge high fees, but you also have an arrogant attitude.
Now, we are stronger than you, why can't you tolerate us just using the same methods you used to treat us?"
Chen Mo smiled lightly.
"Can that be the same?"
Bill Gay blurted it out, but he regretted it the moment he said it.
The arrogance in his bones made him still look down on Da Xia.
“You don’t have a choice now.
I will give you 5% of the performance of the castrated 80nm chip, but the price will be 20% higher."
Chen Mo smiled and said, "Of course, we will not release these data to the public.
This way everyone will think that you have got a product that bypasses the chip ban and can keep up with the times. "
"No, your performance has been weakened, so why is the price increased? This is not fair!" Bill Geci protested.
"Fairness is something the weak demand. I am a strong person. There is no way I can talk about fairness with a weak person like you." Chen Mo said as a matter of course.
Bill Geci: “…”
"Bill, I've even thought of a reason.
The chip ban continues, but we are privately developing special edition 5nm chips for you to use, and you don’t have to pay any price. Oh, of course, this is just on the surface.
This way, the Hegemonic State officials won't cause you any trouble, and Daxia won't cause me any trouble either. We can all give an explanation to the officials on both sides, and it's a win-win situation!"
Chen Mo talked freely.
"..."
Bill Geci was completely speechless.
This fucking chip ban was initiated by you, how could the Daxia officials possibly cause trouble for you?
You call this a win-win situation?
But who is to blame for the hegemonic country's failure to produce 5nm chips?
Bill had to agree this time, he had no choice.
After the chip problem is solved, all other problems are minor ones. Both parties can just give each other face in private and they can be resolved.
Wait for others to return to Turtle Valley.
The senior executives of Guigu immediately came over upon hearing the news and asked, "What's going on?"
"How is the chip ban issue being resolved?"
"Is the other party willing to compromise and sell the chips to us?"
"We have agreed to so many conditions from the other party, so they will have to lower the price of 5nm chips, right?"
"..."
Bill Geci looked at the contemptuous faces of this group of people and couldn't help but complain: "You still think it's the same as before?
Now the Great Xia Kingdom is stronger than us! They can control us!!!
Do you understand? !!! Ah!!!"
Everyone was frightened by Bill's sudden roar.
But at the same time, everyone had a very bad feeling in their hearts.
"What's going on?"
Pingguo's current CEO asked.
"Chen Mo has already drawn up a plan, you can take a look at it yourself..."
Bill Geci pinched his Jingming acupoint, sighed deeply, and handed a document to everyone.
After everyone finished watching, they all widened their eyes and exclaimed: "A castrated version? Only 80% of the performance? This..."
"Just castrate them, why is the price 20% higher?"
“This is unreasonable!!!”
"This is clearly bullying us!!!"
"..."
Everyone complained angrily.
"Yes, he bullied us. Chen Mo admitted it in front of me!"
Bill Geci sneered: "What can we do? If we fall behind, we will be beaten! Let's take these chips and start to disassemble and study them!
If it’s a little later, maybe they will have developed 4nm and 3nm chips!!!"
At this moment, everyone was silent.
No matter how stupid they are, they realize that times are different now.
The countries that they used to be able to bully at will, now can bully them in turn!
……
……
at the same time.
Brett Kraus gave an order: "Everyone follow the rhythm and go bankrupt one by one!"
"First, Meilong Bank, you go first!"
The president of Meilong Bank immediately responded: "Okay, you will see the news released by our Meilong Bank soon."
Just a quarter of an hour later, Mellon Bank released a piece of news that shocked the world!
In the first half of 2008, Meilong Bank suffered a huge loss of 832 billion RMB!
The explanation given by Mellon Bank is: "The bank has issued too many real estate CDs. Affected by the dual impact of the subprime mortgage crisis and the financial crisis, as well as the impact of interest rate hikes, the bank is no longer able to pay its maturing debts and can only declare bankruptcy."
As soon as this announcement came out, it directly set off the entire financial circle!!!
Financial investors around the world have now realized that interest rate hikes do not necessarily bring all positive effects.
It is a double-edged sword!
"Oh my god! Meilong Bank is the seventh-largest bank in the country! Many people's life savings, as well as deposits from various insurance companies, are in this company!!!"
“Are all banks of this level going to declare bankruptcy?”
"I'm afraid this financial crisis in the hegemonic country is much more serious than we imagined!"
"Moyuan Ratings has once again downgraded Hegemony's rating. We must sell all the financial products related to Hegemony currency in our hands as soon as possible. It will be too late if we are late!"
"I don't think so. The authorities will definitely take action."
"Yeah, it's just one bank. Aren't there nine other banks? Are they just there to do nothing?"
"..."
Mellon Bank's announcement of bankruptcy is not enough to completely break everyone's expectations of dominating the country's financial markets.
After all, a 10% interest rate hike is really terrifying.
however……
Brett Kraus continued to give orders into the microphone: "Huaqi Bank, it's your turn to issue a bankruptcy notice!!!"
