If you cheat, money will follow

three days later.

At a national defense forum meeting, a White House official publicly responded to the suggestions and dissatisfactions of Qualcomm, Intel, Nvidia and other companies:

"We have to be at this point, they are not our friends, they are the greatest threat we have."

"Hopefully our chip CEOs will understand this."

"We know you're going to lose revenue, but that's life... protecting national security is more important than profit revenue."

Wall Street: “…”

"They wake up every morning and they're always looking for ways to get around our controls."

"Our companies should be vigilant enough to block ways to circumvent controls, rather than quietly cooperating."

"Once they get high-end chips they will use them for the military, and we must not let them catch up."

This response is equivalent to an official statement to some extent.

This shows that when it comes to cutting-edge chips and devices, North America will not let up, only step up.

In terms of low-end and mid-range chips, they have already been in a state of acquiescence and relaxation.

This matter can only be conveyed through thoughts, not words.

A wise king would not sign an order to lift restrictions with much fanfare.

This is about dignity and face.

But is there still a market for the mid- to low-end?

Faced with this official’s public statement.

Departments at home and abroad responded as a routine matter.

The spokesperson's attitude was not intense, but very gentle, as if he was completing a task:

"...Abusing state power to suppress Chinese enterprises for no reason has seriously violated international free trade rules and economic and trade rules, disrupted the stability of global industrial and supply chains, and harmed others but not self-interest."

"This kind of behavior can be described in our country as picking up a stone and shooting yourself in the foot."

"What we want to emphasize is that sanctions, containment, and suppression cannot stop our development, but will only make us more self-reliant and self-reliant, and further enhance our determination and capabilities in scientific and technological innovation."

Almost a carbon copy of the last response.

Finally, the spokesperson added with an indescribable tone and eyes:

"We'll see!"

At the end of December, Jiangzhou.

According to the planned itinerary, the leaders visited Jiangzhou.

Accompanied by Zheng Qiguang, we arrived at Jiangzhou Airport.

After meeting with the team members in Jiangzhou, they got on a minibus and drove into the city.

At this time, Jiangzhou has become a super large construction site under the new policy ideas.

Along both sides of the road, development projects, road reconstruction projects, elevated projects can be seen everywhere...

All kinds of construction equipment are half exposed in the construction site enclosure. Only their shapes are visible, but their sounds are not heard.

The leader looked back, frowned slightly, then relaxed and said:

"Comrade Wu Licai, how old are you this year?"

"47 years old." Zheng Qiguang thought for a while and replied.

"Oh, you are very young." The leader nodded slightly.

"He is indeed young. He is the youngest among this batch." Zheng Qiguang deliberately emphasized this point.

"Young people are motivated and energetic, which is their advantage. How is the growth in Jiangnan Province from the first to the third quarter of this year?" the leader asked the key point.

“It’s not bad, ranking fifth in the country, second only to four developed provinces.”

"What about tax revenue?"

"Compared to the past, the decline is more severe." Zheng Qiguang added:

“The ratio of GPD to fiscal and tax revenue is already below 20%.”

"Oh, the investment efficiency is not high." The leader nodded and did not ask again.

The motorcade arrived at Jiangbei Pingtouge Research Institute smoothly.

Outside the institute, there were garrison personnel maintaining order.

In the institute, Chang Le, Zeng Xi, Liu Chaoyang, Liang Qingsong, He Rongming, Yu Chengdong, Mr. Ren and Xiao Ma were all listed.

Many researchers at Pingtou Ge Research Institute are also waiting quietly.

Apart from that, there is no one else.

The institute is a high-level scientific research confidentiality unit.

There will be no irrelevant people waiting to watch or gossip.

When the motorcade drove into the front yard of the institute, everyone began to applaud.

Several minibuses came to a stop, and the leader led the supervisory officials and members of the Jiangnan team to get out of the vehicles and walked towards Chang Le.

Chang Le and others applauded warmly and smiled brightly.

"Xiao Chang, we haven't seen each other for a few years, but your surprises come one after another. Not bad, very good." The leader shook hands with Chang Le cordially.

"Leader, these achievements are all achieved with your care and support, and also stem from the joint efforts of all employees. I personally dare not take credit." Chang Le replied modestly.

"Haha, you are still so humble." The leader smiled and said:

"There are a lot of people here today."

"Leaders, these are the heads of relevant departments and industries within the company. They are closely related to the theme of today's inspection. They are more familiar with the technical details than me." Chang Le explained:

"With their presence, it is easier for leaders to grasp the relevant industry context and make decisions."

"Oh, I'm interested." The leader patted Chang Le's shoulder, appearing intimate.

Behind him, he watched the leader and Chang Le chatting happily, without any gap, just like the familiar communication between the elder and the younger generation... Wu Licai was a little flustered in his heart, his emotions were even more complex, and his expressions were relatively rich.

Alas, underestimated and not sensitive enough.

Xiao Henghua and others behind Wu Licai had calm expressions and calm eyes.

Just the corners of his mouth curved slightly in an imperceptible arc.

"Mr. Ren, you're here too." The leader shook hands with Mr. Ren.

"Leader, today is a memorable day with historic significance. I'm here to join in the fun." Mr. Ren replied.

"Haha, you can't join in the fun. This breakthrough has positive and important significance for the domestic semiconductor industry, and your company must play a leading role." The leader said.

"Leaders, please rest assured that the entire company has been fully prepared and will go all out to break through blockades and obstacles and strive for greater victory." Mr. Ren said.

"Haha, I believe your company can do it."

Next, the leader shook hands with Xiao Ma.

"Mr. Ma, your company has developed well in the past few years. I heard that there is a lot of research and development efforts."

This sentence made Brother Ma feel flattered and his smile became even brighter.

"Thank you for the leadership's concern and affirmation. In the past few years, we have indeed found the backbone of development. In the future, we will spare no effort to increase investment in the main industry."

"Well, the country creates the environment and the times provide conditions. Enterprises, especially technology enterprises, should boldly move upward and outward to resist differences, instead of downward and inward and consume internally." The leader's words pointed to the key point.

"Leaders, please rest assured that everyone at Goose Factory will march forward to the forefront of science and technology and will not stop."

"I believe you can do it."

Then, the leader shook hands with Liang Qingsong.

"Mr. Liang, the domestic semiconductor industry has made great strides in recent years. As a technology leader, you have made an indispensable contribution." The leader spoke highly of it.

Liang Qingsong was surprised. He didn't expect that he was also caught in the eye.

"Thank you for the leadership's affirmation. Being able to contribute a little bit to the country and the nation is a responsibility that I and my family cannot slack off."

"Very good. As long as we think in one place and work hard, the development goals can be achieved and national rejuvenation can be achieved."

Then, the leader shook hands with He Rongming and said:

"Comrade He Rongming, you are a technical cadre of a state-owned enterprise. You understand management and technology. In the field of lithography machines, you need further pressure and strength. This is an obstacle that cannot be bypassed."

"Please rest assured, leaders, we will go all out and not dare to slack off." He Rongming said.

It's Yu Chengdong's turn.

"Mr. Yu, I haven't heard you shout that I'm far ahead lately."

"It made the leader laugh. I'm currently researching new technology applications, so..." Yu Chengdong said awkwardly.

"Haha, I believe you can come up with revolutionary products to promote the two-way linkage between technology and market."

"We must live up to the expectations of our leaders."

Afterwards, the leaders shook hands cordially with Zeng Xi, Liu Chaoyang, Shu Zhijie, Lin Li, Li Fei and others, and expressed their gratitude for their unremitting efforts and contributions over the past few years.

Then, surrounded by everyone and guided by Chang Le, they entered the R&D building in an orderly manner.
