Chapter Seventy-Three: North American Chip Ban

The day after Gu Cheng made a decision, Qiu Shiming gave the company's procurement department an order contract of 96.5 million for the North American MEAS sensor company to purchase 2 million sensor chips, and the other 18 types of chips are about the same procurement scale, with a total chip purchase quantity of about 40 million pieces and a procurement budget of 2.415 billion.

And at this juncture, it really confirms the "Murphy's Law" that what you worry about.

On November 26, North American Eastern Regional Time, the North American Department of Commerce announced that it would immediately impose a sanction ban on Tianqing Technology, and Tianqing Technology will be prohibited from importing goods from North America in any form.

Gu Cheng's sense of crisis is already extremely keen, and if he changes to another start-up technology company and achieves such a large revenue performance, he is probably still celebrating at this time.

But the execution of the US imperialists is also vigorous and resolute, and as always, it is shameless, which aptly confirms Gu Cheng's sentence, the style of the US imperialism is that if it can reason with you, it will never reason with you.

The reason for the sanctions is also speechless, according to the New York Times report on the sanctions ban on the same day, the North American authorities' reason is that the "military background" of Tianqing Technology Company acts as a spy Balabala.

It is not difficult for discerning people to speculate that the main factor is that Tianqing Technology has achieved god-level progress in the field of exoskeleton and a super order of 7.8 billion US dollars, the key is that Tianqing Technology is the only player in the trillion-level supermarket in the field of exoskeletons, not to mention the competitive pressure, even the competitors have not come out, Tianqing Technology is the only company in this field to realize industrial commercialization and create profits.

And this big order of Shate will undoubtedly quickly form a hematopoietic cycle for Tianqing Technology, leading step by step, step by step.

It's no wonder that Americans aren't in a hurry.

In this wave of sanctions, the Americans did not mention the $7.8 billion order between Tianqing Technology and Saute, but instead seized the point of Tianqing Technology's civilian medical machinery products.

In fact, the Americans also know that this reason is very far-fetched, but this does not prevent the fact that North America has banned the sale of chips to Tianqing Technology, and the reason of the Americans is also shameless enough, on the grounds that the results of the investigation have not yet been investigated to avoid the expansion of potential risks, and temporarily stop selling chips to Tianqing Technology.

This "temporary" is the essence of the place, how long is "temporary"? A year? Three years? Five years?

That's not all up to Lao Mei!

At the end of this month, although the Americans' paper ban caught people off guard, Tianqing Technology had already had a sense of crisis, and Gu Cheng did not lose his proportions.

On the contrary, the ICT industry in China has fallen into a panic, because the Americans are so kind to Tianqing Technology today, and tomorrow they may ruthlessly suppress another technology company that has just emerged.

Many media even said in the article that the chip ban in North America may cause Tianqing Technology to enter a state of shock.

Suddenly, the incident of Tianqing Technology being banned from selling chips by the United States became the hottest topic of the day, and the online self-media also seized the current traffic hot topics to publish all kinds of articles.

The ICT industry is also very nervous.

Netizens are having a heated discussion on this hot topic.

"Americans are really shameless to the extreme, and they are crazy to suppress high-tech companies in other countries when they see them just rising!"

"Tianqing Company has taught a lesson to technology companies across the country this time."

"Core competitiveness and technology are the lifeblood."

"Tianqing is just an assembly company, what's so strange? I didn't master the core technology, and I deserved to be stuck. ”

"Why is there such a remark everywhere is also drunk, an exoskeleton research and development company, you let him make semiconductors? Is this a matter of Tianqing Company? Co-authoring a company's products must be made by themselves? Do you understand what is the great division of labor in the industry? Squirt it out of your mouth? ”

"To a certain extent, as of now, China's chip exports are about 377 billion pieces, but the import value has reached 1,759.2 billion pieces, highlighting a major shortcoming of my country is in the hands of foreigners, what a terrible thing!"

"Of course, this incident is a bad thing, but it may not be all bad, Lao Mei's ban on the sale of chips to Tianqing Company has also woken up those short-sighted people who are not as good as buying and buying is better than renting, so that they can see clearly that the reality is cruel, self-reliance is the only way out, and scientific and technological self-reliance is the future."

"Without core technology, you will always work for others; Without core technology, others can do whatever they want; Without core technology, our future will be a fantasy. ”

"Agree, the reality is cruel, the US imperialism, a country that thinks it is superior, can do anything, whatever trade fairness, what basic rules, all can be thrown aside. You can knife your allies in the back, not to mention our flower family? Return to reality, return to reason, whoever has a big fist and is powerful, who has the right to speak, this is the most essential and eternal rules of the game in this world! ”

……

North America's ban on the sale of Tianqing Technology, I am afraid that even the Americans did not expect it to cause a national discussion in China, and bigwigs from all walks of life have focused on the topic of "chips", and major business bigwigs have spoken out to make efforts on the chip issue.

And CCTV commented on the incident:

"Chinese enterprises must be further vigilant about the necessity and urgency of innovation, and must firmly grasp the core technology in their own hands as soon as possible. The core technology is the important weapon of the country, and building a house on someone else's wall foundation, no matter how big and beautiful it is, it may not be able to withstand the wind and rain, and it will even be vulnerable. The fact that core technology is controlled by others is our biggest hidden danger."

This comment of the official media can be seen that it is not only the onlookers who eat melons and ICT-related companies that are stimulated, but once again emphasize the need to firmly control the life of the chip in their own hands, and the official media's comment not only refers to the chip industry, but the core technology of all industries, but this obviously refers to the chip.

For a time, the tide of public opinion of "self-improvement of domestic products and self-reliance in science and technology" was set off, and I am afraid that this is not the result that Americans want to see, and there are even some faint worries.

But even so, the sanctions ban on Tianqing Technology is still unmoved.

And just when the whole people focused on the topic of "chips", everyone seemed to ignore Tianqing Technology itself, as the protagonist of the incident, there was no action during this time, at least no one saw any official response to the chip ban in North America.

As if it had nothing to do with him.

No, there are.

When the sanctions ban was announced in North America, Tianqing Technology official V updated a dynamic, which is an ellipsis "......" six points, in order to express his speechlessness against US imperialism.

When the domestic ICT industry-related companies were panicking about this incident, Gu Cheng did not make a big mess, but it was still a little annoying to be involved in this matter.

At this moment, Gu Cheng was in the company, sitting alone in the chairman's office looking up at the ceiling without saying a word.

Frankly speaking, when he learned that Tianqing Technology was banned from selling chips in North America, Gu Cheng wanted to make semiconductors by himself in one go, and he had this confidence in technology, but it was a big deal that 996 worked hard for a period of time, and relying on this list of local tyrants, the funds were available.

Even if there is no profit from the local tyrants, as long as you report your thoughts and make a military order or something, the state will allocate as much as you want, and meet all the requirements as quickly as possible.

It's just that Gu Cheng later found out that this matter doesn't mean that 996 can work hard and have technology, and some technologies that are ahead of the times can be forcibly created, but it will bring chaos and even war.

Then the patent barrier has become an almost insoluble obstacle, unless the existing rules of the game are broken and the patents are ignored, this situation basically exists in theory, because only by completely negating the current world order can the patents be ignored, and the ultimate lead is definitely chaos and war.

When the idea of making his own chip came to his mind, Gu Cheng would find out...... Well, the front door is HUAWEI's patent, the back door is Qualcomm's patent, the floor is Nokia's patent, the roof is Ericsson's patent, Samsung is wielding golf clubs on the lawn, TI is still standing in the grove outside the door with a shotgun, Intel is still poking its head out of the window, and MEAS is still driving a cannon on the mountain in the distance......

Gu Cheng felt in his heart: There is a sentence that MMP doesn't know whether to talk about it or not...

Moreover, even if you can develop a chip that is unique in the world, the semiconductor industry chain is not so easy to build. Even if they buy it now, those semiconductor manufacturers don't sell it, although those manufacturers in North America also want to make this money, but they are forced by the ban of the North American authorities to give up this considerable profit.

Just when Gu Chengzhi was struggling with his brains, the mobile phone rang at this moment, and he took it out and glanced at the screen, and the name of the caller ID was He Su.

After Gu Cheng answered the phone, he said helplessly: "Major He, the company's current chip stock is only enough for the 20,000 sets of local tyrants, and most of the things that promise to provide exoskeletons for the military within the year will be cold." ”

A faint tone came from the other end of the phone: "It's not cool, the individual exoskeleton that our army wants to equip is already in safety considerations, and it will not ask for American chip parts." The relevant departments have prepared a new chip supplier for you, and there is a slight gap between the performance and the chips of American companies, but it will not be out of food, come out and meet and talk in detail. ”

Gu Cheng was stunned for a while, and suddenly said happily: "It's arranged?" Okay, when will you see you? Where? ”
