Black tech predators

Chapter 81 What are you worried about?

Qiu Shiming said in a deep voice: "What I'm more worried about is whether there will be potential changes? Americans are too familiar with this routine. Referring to previous cases, they always send a person from the Pentagon to complain, and you can't take it later. Let him know what cards he will play."

"It's not unreasonable to worry. Based on the transaction scale of the global defense trade market last year of 4000 billion U.S. dollars, we have eaten up 78 billion U.S. dollars in one order this time, which is almost 2% of the share. North American defense contractors are probably in a hurry. , we are robbing their jobs, and we are fighting for the commanding heights in the high-tech field." Gu Cheng nodded and said.

The $78 billion list is just the most eye-catching figure. Military products are different from ordinary civilian products, especially high-tech weapons. The later maintenance cost is the big part. Otherwise, there is no such thing as the so-called guaranteed harvest every year.

After that, Gu Cheng didn't say a word, thinking in his heart that this matter really deserves attention.

At the beginning, I offered suggestions to the local tyrants, encouraged the "big dogs" to buy both ends, and fed the defense contractors in North America, so they stopped making trouble. Don't worry about money.

It's just that Gu Cheng can only instigate, whether the local tyrants will buy both in the end is not something that Tianqing Technology can control.

"By the way, how many chips are currently in reserve from the United States? Especially the supply of MEAS sensors." Gu Cheng suddenly thought of this and asked quickly.

Thinking of the issue of chip supply, Gu Cheng couldn't help but worry. The major modules of the exoskeleton itself, the chip is undoubtedly one of the core hardware. There are 19 different chips inside, half of which are dependent on American chips. Imported by hand.

For a long time, the chip industry has been a shortcoming of Huaguo.

If at this moment, Lao Mei suddenly gets stuck in the chip area, it will be uncomfortable.

Gu Cheng has technology in his mind, but apart from technology, the semiconductor industry is more critical to the tight supply chain system scattered around the world, without any link, there is also the problem of patent barriers, which can hardly be avoided , Unless the existing rules of the game are violently overturned, it is no different from fighting against the whole world, which in turn proves that the semiconductor industry is really difficult.

"The current stock of 19 types of chips is 632 million pieces, which can probably meet the supply of about 33 sets of exoskeleton chips." Qiu Shiming replied.

"That's good. You don't have to worry about breaking the contract for the time being." Gu Cheng nodded, and said after a while: "Your strategy of 'consolidating the foundation and cultivating the talents' for the company's current contraction and expansion strategy seems to be very correct. , It’s okay if this potential risk doesn’t happen, but once it happens, it will be extremely difficult.”

After thinking for a while, Gu Guocheng concluded: "In this way, Lao Qiu, the company will further shrink, and the production and sales of medical equipment will be limited. The budget has entered 500 billion yuan, and if something goes wrong, the company will definitely go into shock. In addition, it is necessary to prepare 200 million pieces of various chip modules for it as soon as possible, to ensure the smooth delivery of 200 sets of military exoskeletons, and to ensure that the component chip modules will be used within the next 2 years. Supply."

"understand!"

Qiu Shiming nodded, and Gu Cheng added again: "Another one is to buy the corresponding chips as soon as possible and reserve them as soon as possible. I have a bad feeling. I have to prepare for hedging potential risks in advance. If you have surplus food at home, don't panic, so as not to have long nights and dreams." Don't expect the US emperor to reason with you, if they can't reason with you, they will never reason with you, and only when they really have nothing to do with you, they will come over and reason with you in a good voice."

……

On the second day after Gu Cheng made his decision, Qiu Shiming made a 9650 million order contract for the North American MEAS Sensor Company for the company's procurement department to purchase 200 million sensor chips, and the other 18 types of chips were about the same purchase scale. The total chip purchase quantity is about 4000 million pieces, and the purchase budget is 24.15 billion.

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

On November 11, North American Eastern Time, the North American Department of Commerce announced that it would immediately impose sanctions on Tianqing Technology, and Tianqing Technology would be prohibited from importing goods from North America in any form.

Gu Cheng's sense of crisis is already extremely acute. If it were any other start-up technology company that achieved such a large revenue performance, they would still be celebrating wildly at this time.

But the US Emperor's execution is also resolute and decisive, and as always, he is shameless, which exactly confirms Gu Cheng's words, the US Emperor's style is that if he can't reason with you, he will never reason with you.

The reason for the sanctions is also speechless. According to the report of the New York Times on the sanctions ban that day, the North American authorities reasoned that Tianqing Technology’s “military background” acted as a spy Barabara.

It is not difficult for anyone with a discerning eye to figure it out. The main factor is that Tianqing Technology has achieved a god-level progress in the field of exoskeletons and a super large order of 78 billion US dollars. The key is that Tianqing Technology is the only one in the trillion-level supermarket in the field of exoskeletons Players, let alone the pressure of competition, there are no competitors in the sky, and Tianqing Technology is the only company in this field that has realized industrial commercialization and created profits.

And this big order from Sart will undoubtedly form a hematopoietic cycle for Tianqing Technology, leading step by step.

Americans are not in a hurry.

In this wave of sanctions and bans, the Americans did not mention the $78 billion order between Tianqing Technology and Shate, but instead seized the point of Tianqing Technology's civilian medical machinery products.

In fact, the Americans also know that this reason is far-fetched, but this does not stop the fact that North America has banned the sale of chips to Tianqing Technology. Sell ​​chips to Tianqing Technology.

This "temporary" is the essence, how long is "temporary"?a year?three years?five years?
That's not all up to Lao Mei to decide!
At the end of this month, although the American ban caught people off guard, Tianqing Technology had long been aware of the crisis, and Gu Cheng did not lose his sense of control because of this.

The fact that the parties were not chaotic has caused the entire ICT industry in Huaguo to panic, because the Americans treat Tianqing Technology so much today, and they may ruthlessly suppress another technology company that has just emerged tomorrow.

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

All of a sudden, the event that Tianqing Technology was banned from selling chips by the United States became the hottest topic of the day, and the Internet self-media also seized the current traffic hot topics and published various articles wantonly.

The ICT industry is also in turmoil, and everything is in danger, and it is extremely tense.

Netizens are having heated discussions on this hot topic.

"The Americans are really shameless to the extreme. Seeing the rise of high-tech companies in other countries, they frantically suppress them!"

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

"Core competitiveness and technology are the lifeblood."

"Tianqing is just an assembly company, what's so strange? I don't have the core technology and deserve to be stuck."

"Why do you have such remarks everywhere? You let an exoskeleton research and development company make semiconductors? Is this a simple matter of the Tianqing company? Co-authoring a company's products requires every screw to be its own. Made? Do you know what is the industrial division of labor? Did you spray it out of your mouth?"

"According to the information on a certain degree, as of now, my country's chip exports are about 3770 billion pieces, but the import volume has reached 17592 billion pieces, highlighting that a major shortcoming of our country is held in the hands of foreigners, what a terrible thing! "

"Of course this incident is a bad thing, but it's not necessarily all bad things. Laomei's ban on the sale of chips by Tianqing has also awakened those short-sighted people who are better off buying than buying, and letting them see that the reality is cruel and self-reliant. is the only way out, and technological self-reliance is the future.”

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

"Agreed, the reality is cruel. The United States is a country that thinks it is superior, and it is possible to do anything. It can throw aside everything about trade fairness and basic rules. It can stab its allies in the back, and even more What's more, let's grow flowers? Return to reality, return to rationality, whoever has the biggest and most powerful fist has the right to speak, this is the most essential and eternal rule of the game in this world!"
