Lujiazui World Financial Center, the temporary headquarters of Xinghai Technology Group.

In the spacious and bright office, Chen Xu and Lan Xi sat by the window drinking tea and talking about business.

Diagonally opposite is a long desk, around which more than a dozen senior assistants are studying and discussing various business plans, and every few minutes someone will come over to ask Chen Xu or Lan Xi for advice.

Years later, Lanxi was promoted to Senior Vice President and Minister of Commerce of Xinghai Technology, overseeing the market operation and project development of Xinghai Technology.

is the third person in Xinghai Technology in addition to Chen Xu and Qi Wenbin.

"Mr. Lan, Argentina's Queller Publishing House offers $5 million......"

"Mr. Chen, this is the DSP design drawing just sent by Weiqi Company......

"Mr. Chen, just now there was a call from the laboratory, and there was a problem with the control system of the new encoder......

After waiting for Chen Xu to finish the call, Lan Xi asked with a smile: "Haven't you always liked to be a shopkeeper, why are you so diligent now?"

"In the past, I didn't have enough energy, and I didn't feel enough to spend all my time on research and development, so I had to be the shopkeeper."

"What about now, have you taken the Ten Perfection Pills?"

"Almost! I've been feeling more and more energetic lately, so I'm going to make some time to share your work!"

After a word, Chen Xu smiled: "Yesterday I went to Zhengfeng Technology and was inspired by something. ”

"What inspires?"

"Recently, I have been studying precision machinery, and the more I study, the more I feel that my country's industrial base is too weak, from sensors to control systems, to CCD, DSP, reducers, servo motors, encoders, I have studied them one by one. ”

Lan Xi showed a speechless expression when he heard this.

"It's just a bypass, there's nothing to make a fuss about!"

Chen Xu took a sip of the teacup, and said with a smile: "Then I indulged in this and began to study CNC machining, lithography machines and AI chips.

Do you know, there are a total of 66,783 parts in the 7nm lithography machine, of which 20% of the core components cannot be made in our country, and they all rely on imports.

Of the 20% of the parts that need to be imported, about 80% are restricted by the Wassenaar Agreement, and they can't be bought at all. it!"

Lan Xi is not a scientific and technological worker, and he doesn't understand the meaning of the words "lithography machine" and "AI chip", but when he heard Chen Xu being rude, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Look at me, I'm angry when I talk about it~" Chen Xu smiled, and then said: "My idea is to build chips, and at the same time, we should also develop more products that are meaningful to ordinary consumers, such as translators, biological corneas, wireless chargers, and so on." ”

Lan Xi asked with interest: "Yes, do you have any ideas?"

"A lot of ideas......

Just as Chen Xu was about to speak, Lan Xi's phone rang.

Lan Xi picked it up and said two words, and soon the expression on his face changed.

After a phone call for twenty minutes, he put down the phone and said, "The data exchange center over there in the United States has just been seized.

In addition, the United States officially launched a 337 investigation against us, and Xinghai Technology's translation software, security products, robot control systems, etc., all of which will be subject to security inspections from tomorrow. ”

Chen Xu laughed angrily, "TM, it's really a dog, if you say it's a face, you will turn your face!"

Xinghai Technology has just begun to lay out North America, and it has not yet begun to make a profit, so it has been seized and lost a lot, and all the early investment has been wasted, at least twenty or thirty million US dollars.

Lan Xi was just about to speak, when the phone rang again.

"Hey ......"

At the same time as Lanxi was talking, Chen Xu already knew the content of the call.

The United States will take comprehensive sanctions against Xinghai Technology.

……

At nine o'clock in the morning on the 14th, the Ministry of Commerce of the United States officially announced the implementation of comprehensive sanctions against Xinghai Technology!

The sanctions include the prohibition of patent licensing, high-end IC customization, cutting-edge equipment, and materials on Xinghai Technology.

Eleven companies including Microsoft, Qualcomm, and IBM have successively announced the termination of their cooperative relationship with Xinghai Technology, and Apple has also removed the Xingyu IoT APP and so on.

Followed by six partner companies, including Nippon Benfak, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, NACHI, Omron, Yamaha, and Epson, they also announced that they would stop supplying certain key components to Xinghai Technology.

On the morning of the 15th, the European Commission announced that it would launch an investigation into dozens of artificial intelligence products under Xinghai;

At the same time, Xinghai translation software and biological cornea, two products with a market share of more than 50%, will be subject to a high monopoly tax of 50% and a punitive fine.

At the same time, Hanguo Samsung also announced that it would stop selling high-end memory and chips to Xinghai Technology.

In the face of attacks from all directions, Xinghai Technology was greatly affected.

There are five main categories of projects under Xinghai Technology: translation software, biological cornea, WiFi wireless charging, database security products, and games.

Among them, the game has hardly been affected, and it is still making money every day;

Then the translation software and the biocornea are two cash cows, and the European Commission is currently negotiating the amount of fines, which are known to be likely to exceed 1 billion euros.

Anyway, this time I'm going to bleed heavily.

A few years ago, he said that he would enter Europe in an all-round way, but now it's okay, and his face is smacked.

There is also the database security product and WiFi wireless charging, which has almost been fatally hit!

Needless to say, database security is a matter of possibility, and it is impossible for Western countries to hand over the data security of their own enterprises to Chinese companies.

Therefore, after the announcement of the European Commission, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, Spain and other countries issued orders to prohibit Xinghai's enterprise database security products from being marketed and sold in their countries.

Enterprises that have already been installed need to be deleted immediately.

The market that China's cyber security alliance has just laid down in Europe is completely wiped out, and the losses are incalculable.

The other is WiFi wireless charging.

During this time, Xinghai Technology has reached a cooperative relationship with more than 30 companies in Europe, America, Japan and South Korea, and after the sanctions imposed by the United States, half of the factories under construction will be extended indefinitely, and the losses are also very huge.

These are visible losses.

And what really shakes the root is the ban on the sale of chips and mechanical parts, which is the real trouble.

After all, Xinghai has been established for a short time, and the development speed is too fast, and it is far from establishing its own industrial chain, and a large number of materials and parts need to rely on imports.

After the ban was allowed, some parts of Xinghai Technology were directly suspended, which had a huge impact on the downstream R&D and production chain.

Xinghai Technology did not make a big deal about it, because the "sweater war" has been fought until now, whether it is enterprises or netizens, they have long been surprised by this, and there is no need to win sympathy, silent development is the king!

However, countless netizens who learned the news still left messages to Xinghai Science and Technology News and the first news network to express their support.

"Forward support!"

"Xinghai learns a lot from Warwick, and only those who are prepared can have backbone!"

"Upstairs, do you have any misunderstanding about Xinghai? ”

"Adhere to the path of independence and self-reliance. Come on Xinghai!"

"In the past, there were Huawei Haikang, which carried the backbone of the nation, and then Xinghai Technology led domestic enterprises to dominate the world, Xinghai refueled! Domestic enterprises must not have illusions, the sweater war will not stop in a short time, unite to build an ecological environment, so as to truly stand on their own ...... and become self-reliant."
