Chapter 1004: The Boo on Wall Street
Closing its doors is a slightly milder treatment than the shutdown that Jiuzhou Technology suffered.
It's slight, but only a little bit.
This means that if American companies want to do new business, sign orders, or communicate with these dozens of companies, they must get Uncle Sam to agree to open the door for cooperation.
It is difficult for Uncle Sam to open the door during this special period...
"We must prevent companies such as Jiuzhou Technology and Pudong Microelectronics from gaining even an inch of military or economic advantage."
The New York Times printed this sentence on the front page.
Anwuji Information Technology Co., Ltd., Daxia Industrial Group Composite Materials Special Structure Research Institute, Yan Machinery Industrial Automation Research Institute, Yan Yinjing Technology Co., Ltd., Daxia Electronic Technology Group Company 28th Research Institute ... Waiting for forty-two Daxia technology companies to be placed at the end of the report.
That grass bandit is my hero.
The "listed companies" listed in Daxia have experienced rising stock prices and an explosion of orders.
The nation of Daxia has a very peculiar attribute, that is, it is not afraid of suppression. The more suppressed it is, the more it will resist.
Many companies are prepared for danger in times of peace and have begun to screen partners and suppliers, hoping that if they are stabbed in the back during a critical period, their production and operations will not be fatally affected.
On March 25, European semiconductor and Western technology giants held a press conference in New York.
The large street extending from Broadway to the East River in southern Manhattan, New York City, was crowded with people.
This narrow street with a length of only one-third of a mile and a width of only 11 meters has a famous name - Wall Street, the financial center of the United States and the financial center of Blue Star.
If it were seven years ago, such a large and powerful lineup would hold a press conference, there would definitely be a tsunami and bursts of cheers. The listed companies participating in this press conference will definitely usher in a new round of stock surges. Technology Sector funds soared.
But this time, the CEOs of these technology company giants were greeted by a tsunami of “boos”.
For example, NVIDIA boss Huang, before mining became popular, NVIDIA graphics cards were the favorite among players. After the second round of mining became popular, and after Jiuzhou Technology came up with the Titan processor, Boss Huang He became a street rat and was beaten and killed by Western players.
As soon as I saw this leather man (Boss Huang often wears leather jackets) on stage, there were boos and complaints all around.
"Fake Squid! Huang! You are blocking Kyushu Technology's Titan processor from entering our market! Just to sell your gas stove (the graphics card is very similar to a gas stove)!"
< br>
"I hope your family can support you through this year safely! I spent an extra three thousand dollars to get the Titan processor from the dealer!"
"The 4090 graphics card is like shit! How can you still laugh! If you don’t know how to make graphics cards, just give up the market! A company that can do it!”
“Take your mining card and go to hell with AMD’s bitch!”
Although players and investors are complaining like crazy. Despite the abuse, Boss Huang still faced these attacks with a smile on his face.
While passing by the media group, he said calmly: "RTX40 series graphics cards have strong performance improvements. Although everyone is saying that the price is too high, please forgive us.
Today, the foundry price of 12-inch wafers is much more expensive than before, and with the development of technology and technology, Moore's Law is dead, and the idea that chip costs will decrease over time is a thing of the past. Computing is no longer a problem of a single chip, but a problem of software and chips. ”
If you put aside the bad things Nvidia has done to gamers, its former main customer group, in business, Boss Huang’s judgment on industry technology has always been very online.
Jiuzhou Technology is not involved in the hardware industry such as graphics cards. In the past few years, NVIDIA has done several major things under the command of Boss Huang: releasing CUDA, launching DGXstation, and acquiring Mellanox.
But technological advancements cannot change Boss Huang's business indifference.
When mining was popular, graphics card factories and mining bosses were allowed to cooperate to monopolize supply. After Kyushu Technology launched the Titan processor, an industry killer, it immediately entered into a partnership with AMD. Intel and other companies have joined forces to suppress the distribution and sales of Jiuzhou Technology abroad.
After realizing that Jiuzhou Technology’s technology was several generations ahead of his own company’s version, Boss Huang decisively abandoned his friends who had recently formed an alliance and spent a lot of money to cooperate with Jiuzhou Technology.
However, after a year of cooperation, they chose to give up the cooperation due to official pressure from Uncle Sam.
This series of events not only caused the players to break their defenses, but the violently fluctuating stock prices also caused collective losses to the "tourists" on Wall Street.
If it weren’t for the bulletproof glass barrier on the main stage of this press conference, I’m afraid Boss Huang wouldn’t be smiling so brightly at this time.
After all, no one knows how many guns in the crowd are aimed at it.
AMD CEO Su Ma also walked to the main stage after Boss Huang.
As a strong woman, she has always maintained frequent contact with the heads of relevant departments of Jiuzhou Technology. Even though she has severed the official cooperative relationship with Jiuzhou Technology, she has been actively promoting technological innovation within the company. .
It’s just that although AMD’s technology is developing rapidly, it suffers from two major disadvantages in production capacity and compatibility, so it can only focus more on commercial customers.
So Su’s mother didn’t face as many boos as the former.
In addition to Nvidia and AMD, there were also many high-level executives from Intel attending the meeting. After all, in addition to making CPUs, Intel has also been making graphics cards and GPUs in recent years.
It’s just that Intel’s executives are not facing the boos of players and customers, they are facing the “chasing and interception” of investors and reporters.
Because on the closing day of the US stock market a few days ago, Intel fell 8.56%, and its market value fell to less than 101 billion US dollars. If it were not for the support of Wall Street capital and some Uncle Sam officials, I am afraid that Intel’s market value would have dropped. After spending hundreds of billions, he fell completely off the altar.
The reason that stimulated the plummeting share price of "Big Blue" was not only Jiuzhou Technology, but also its disastrous financial reports in the four quarters of last year.
The financial report shows that Intel’s revenue in the four quarters was only US$38.5 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 28%, the largest decline since 1999.
At the same time, the company turned from profit to loss, with an average net loss of US$1 billion in a quarter.
Although companies such as Nvidia and AMD are also losing money, they have soared in the past few years. Investors and users have special feelings for Intel. After all, it is the "Blue Giant" , but now the giant not only fell, but also took away countless banknotes while the stock price collapsed.
At the same time, it also took away the lives of many dog gamblers and stock investors.
When Intel's senior executives saw such a "grand occasion", many people were retreating. They really didn't want to encounter an "accident".
