Chapter 726 The years under the lies are quiet and good (4k)

Daxia has the largest manufacturing share in the world, and has vigorously cultivated several special circles, which have achieved a leap from low-level to middle-level and high-level in just over 20 years.

Although new markets are being cultivated all over the world, every increase in the share of high-tech products in Daxia is a challenge to those monopoly giants. This challenge has intensified since Daxia has independent high-end semiconductor chip design and manufacturing technology.

Especially when semiconductors and the military competed in several fields, Western companies and military-industrial complexes did not take advantage, and the overlords who refused to admit defeat naturally set their sights on other fields.

First of all, some Asan are clamoring indiscriminately, and secondly, some big oil-producing regions such as the Middle East have started to produce some river crab smoke from time to time. Under the influence of capital and environment in the global market, large amounts of funds have begun to avoid risks. Traditional oil energy, new energy, rare metals, etc. Wait for the board to start fluctuating.

There was a shot.

According to media reports: On May 8, the Houthis attacked Saudi oil refineries and other oil facilities.

On the evening of May 8, the Houthi armed forces announced that they would unilaterally stop their attacks on Saudi military targets and on the battlefield. They also mentioned that if Yemen can also stop the confrontation, then the two sides may reach a permanent truce.

As soon as this news came out, the whole world was shocked.

The global market has become more concerned about energy supply, and American capital companies have also begun to impose an embargo on crude oil shipments to some major oil-producing countries. International oil prices have risen by more than 10% in just one day.

In the face of soaring oil prices, many Guo Jia tried to contact relevant Guo Jia forces in the Middle East in an attempt to solve the energy problem, but they were rejected.

Uncle Sam was even more concerned, and immediately called Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, hoping that the two countries could increase oil production and balance the market.

However, it seems that after using the face fruit too many times, it has a fatigue effect, and the two calls were rejected.

The user you dialed cannot be connected temporarily, making the communication technology in the new century as "unstable" as in the last century.

An Uncle Sam government official said that Uncle Sam originally had high expectations for this call. After all, under the auspices of Jiang Ying, several parties can sit down and have a good talk and stabilize the oil market, which is good for everyone There are great benefits.

But unexpectedly, the routine that was once tried and tested has been rejected now.

Not only that, this time, the big households seemed to have "eat the guts of a leopard". They couldn't read the international news and couldn't call back the phone. A press conference was also held, stating that the established plan would not be easily changed.

Some media believe that the reason why the big players say no so decisively may be because Yingjiang is preparing to restart the Iran nuclear agreement recently, trying to win over Iran and allow its oil and energy to enter the global market. This decision has harmed the interests of the big players.

Of course, some tabloid media secretly reported an old news, that is, a few years ago, Uncle Sam declared that he would turn the rich into "untouchables" in the international community.

Uncle Sam didn't expect that this time he wanted to do some operations, hold currency and energy in his hands again and arrange stocks, but he encountered such a thing.

While the media were making various interpretations of the current international situation and oil and energy, the delegations of large households who were still throwing out large sums of money a few days ago discussed a shocking event in Great Xia Yanjing.

Dahu and Daxia suddenly announced that they had reached a cooperation to develop and build a large oil refining facility in Daxia Liaojin.

Huaxia Petrochemical also confirmed the news, issuing a statement saying that it has signed a further cooperation agreement with the big player, and the two parties will strengthen cooperation in refining and chemical projects.

According to Reuters reports, the two companies are preparing to develop a large-scale integrated refinery and petrochemical complex. The major players will provide as much as 210,000 barrels of crude oil per day, and the daily capacity of the refinery project can reach 300,000 barrels. 1024 was put into operation.

Senior Vice President of Downstream Business of Dato Mate said: "The cooperation with Daxia will further promote the integration and expansion of our downstream business in Asia, and provide Daxia with low-carbon crude oil to meet its growing energy demand. "

Mao Xiong Media noticed this incident, and immediately published an article recounting the embarrassment of Uncle Sam being neglected, and asked Uncle Sam who had obtained a big account, "Who is the untouchable"?

European countries stood up and called for a peaceful solution to the problem. Energy belongs to the world, and environmental protection belongs to everyone.

Then some experts said that many European countries have secretly increased the share of oil purchases, even if it is to increase money.

Scholars majoring in international relations pointed out that in the new international environment, Yingjiang’s various measures against Daxia Enterprises have overdrawn its reputation, and other enterprises and Guojia institutions have begun to re-evaluate the relationship with Uncle Sam. relationship between.

Crown Prince Dato said in an interview: "Uncle Sam is our strategic partner, but we are strengthening our cooperation with Daxia, Maoxiong and other countries.

At present, the oil in Daxia is increasing every year, so in the next 50 years or even longer, we will still take ensuring the energy security of Daxia as our top priority. "

It can be seen that many companies and capitals have been touched by the previous series of pull-ups. This time, the drama of manipulating energy to control the world is not easy to sing.

However, before Uncle Sam had a good night's sleep, on May 10, Maoxiong Petroleum Company announced that it had discovered a large oil deposit in the Pechora Sea, and its resource reserves were equivalent to 82 million tons of oil. The discovery was made thanks to an oil drilling campaign in the Medinsko Valandsky area.

Bear Petroleum noted that the discovery proves "the enormous oil potential of the Timano-Pechora area, which will serve as the basis for the company's continued research and development of the area".

The news shocked international oil prices even more.

Of course, it is not the skyrocketing oil price, but the contraction from the skyrocketing, and part of the funds flowing into North America began to flow back slowly.

After all, polar bears have no weapons of mass destruction, and no penguins need animal rights protection.

All the capital, institutions, and retail investors who have made money in the US stock market have also discovered that the "Twilight of the Gods" advocated by those small media seems to have begun to unfold.

Although I don't know if it is Ragnarok, but there is indeed a good show on stage.

Daxia's carbon-based chips are rapidly replacing the previous silicon-based chips, so the previous high-performance silicon-based chip production lines and workshops are no longer used?

The answer is of course not.

The demand for 80-nanometer chips on the enterprise side has not been weak, but now Daxia Semiconductor is like a peerless master who has practiced a swordsmanship but has nowhere to use it, and simply uses two tricks casually.

All enterprises and institutions that need to use chips in the international market have ushered in the dream moment of "no money" for chips.

Since the chips provided by Daxia Semiconductor are really high-quality and cheap, and can even directly provide a series of projects from design to production, packaging, and assembly of processors, many international manufacturing giants, car companies, household appliances, and industrial companies Enterprises such as machinery, etc., placed orders frantically for Daxia Semiconductor.

Shareholders and institutions are naturally not fools.

On May 11, local time in North America, the stock price of TSMC, the former leader in wafer foundry, fell rapidly after the opening, and finally closed down 5.81%, closing at US$77 per share, with a market value of US$399.3 billion. Compared with the high price of $145 per share in January this year, TSMC's market value has shrunk by $350 billion.

In addition to TSMC, semiconductor stocks such as ASML, Ram Research, Kelei, and Applied Materials (AMAT) have also dived.

According to incomplete statistics, the major institutions and exchanges in North America evaporated a total of 500 billion U.S. dollars that day.

In this environment where the market is about to collapse, as the "mainstay" in the consumer electronics market, the smartphone industry has also begun to show signs of decadence.

According to a report by an authoritative organization, global smartphone shipments will decrease to 1 billion units in 1023, a year-on-year decline of 8.5%.

During the turbulent situation in May this year, it was reported that Dami, OPO, and Vio, the three major mobile phone manufacturers in Daxia, have notified suppliers that the supply volume after April to June in 1023 will be reduced by about 2.5% compared to the previous plan. .

In addition, according to Reuters, TSMC has already started mass production of Apple's iPhone 14 series, but the target for the first shipment of 90 million units has been cut by 30%.

House seemingly endless rain.

The order anxiety of TSMC and other companies using Western semiconductor technology suddenly spread from the mobile phone industry to PCs, home appliances and other fields in May.

In the first quarter of 1023, according to the survey of authoritative organizations, the global computer market fell by 6.6%. At the same time, almost all first-tier PC brands have recently begun to lower their annual shipment targets, including Lenovo, HP, Acer, and ASUS, and even some computer manufacturers' shipment targets have dropped by double-digit percentages.

According to a report by market analysts, due to the subsiding of the "mining" boom and the "vicious competition" of companies such as Daxia Kyushu Technology and Xiawei, the sharp drop in market demand and industry corporate profits, global semiconductors will usher in a cold winter .

The report caused an uproar in the stock market.

The media reporters, like sharks smelling blood, aimed at the semiconductor industry and began to report frantically.

"TSMC's market value plummeted, but its turnover rate of new employees last year exceeded 20.6%, hitting a five-year high"

According to Ryukyu media reports, the report released by TSMC on May 10 shows that last year, the turnover rate of all TSMC employees was 9.8%, and the turnover rate of newcomers was 20.6%, both hitting new highs in five years, and there is also a gap between Korean stars and Intel, a major semiconductor manufacturer. Little turnover rate.

As soon as this news came out, it also sparked heated discussions among netizens, who questioned why a million-dollar annual salary could not keep talents. One of the internal employees personally revealed the secrets of work on the Internet, frankly saying that he was under so much pressure that he "worshiped the gods every day before going to work."

He then took his own situation as an example, "I am not tired of CMP (Chemical Mechanical Planarization) among the four major processes, but the products of Daxia Semiconductor have caused our company's orders to decline year by year. It is getting worse every year!

For a long time, I have been very depressed every night, and I even doubt how many years TSMC can last.

If there are juniors who want to enter this major, it is recommended to apply for a school in Daxia Mainland, their technology has far surpassed ours. "

Some colleagues also expressed similar sympathy.

"I haven't had a vacation for three months, because the supervisor needs us to develop a new generation of high-performance processors that can rival Titan processors..."

"I have encountered companies that have been working overtime since September last year, and night shifts are commonplace."

"Normal people can't stand this kind of stressful job without holidays, let alone wearing a full set of isolation suits to enter the laboratory. The money is too difficult to earn..."

"It feels like there is a vicious circle inside. Every old man has the mentality of a daughter-in-law becoming a mother-in-law, but will Kyushu Technology give us the opportunity to retire? We should enter the Great Xia Semiconductor Alliance as soon as possible. After all, we are also a family, okay."

The semiconductor industry in Ryukyu Province was in turmoil and began to be chaotic.

Recently, Ni Hong, who was forced to donate blood frantically, had a miserable life.

The ministers and corporate chaebols who once spent trillions of yen to overtake Neon Semiconductor in a corner are no longer willing to mention this sad past.

Because the two pillar industries of semiconductors and automobiles were "taken away" by Daxia Enterprises, and they themselves were crazily sucked blood.

Neon prices began to skyrocket.

Soaring neon food prices have plagued Tokyo school kitchens in recent months, with one school forced to swap fresh fruit from its recipes for jelly or other treats, Reuters reported on May 10.

At the same time, according to Kyodo News, the trend of neon inflation continues, with the yen depreciating and prices soaring. Inflation is becoming an increasingly politicized issue at Neon.

Prices have risen sharply, and many families are feeling the pinch. CPI rose 3.1% year-on-year for two consecutive months in April and May in 1023 due to higher crude oil and food prices. That's a huge jump in a decade. ,

Most importantly, consumer prices are rising, but wages are falling, and the financial burden on many families has increased.

Today, an 18-liter can of cooking oil costs 1,750 yen more than a year ago in Neon, and the price of vegetables and fruits has doubled.

A few months ago, Akihabara, which was noticed a few months ago, has gradually turned from a two-dimensional holy place to a custom street due to the economic downturn. After the "rectification", not only has it not been resolved, but it has intensified.

The maid who took to the streets started to work part-time and had zero girlfriends for a day, and the underground idols in cool clothes were no longer reserved, and they would shoot sexy photos every day.

Even for many gray projects, they have gradually shifted from physical stores to the Internet, and started an Internet + solution.

Countless men who are frustrated in the workplace and even fired from the club, besides hanging out in bars, also choose to order a high-quality and cheap one-day girlfriend on the Internet through video selection, go to the river to relax and go fishing. fishing.

In the evening, I have to pretend to be tired and go home, take the fish I caught to my wife who takes care of the children full-time, and say happily: "This is a gift from my client, Emiri, let's eat fish tomorrow~"

And the housewife who has just finished her "hard part-time job" during the day will say with joy on her face: "Wow, Asahi, you are really great, my husband. I will make tofu fish soup for you tomorrow."
