Chapter 299: The Dunkirk Evacuation in the 21st Century
The old man broke the defense a little, and he did it again and again, but he failed to contain Lao Zhong at all, and instead allowed Lao Zhong to catch up.
For key technological breakthroughs such as topological semimetal, companies in Silicon Valley have taken many samples, but the progress has been almost zero.
At least there is a paper on room temperature superconductivity that provides a feasible solution. Although that solution is quite nonsense, at least there is a solution.
Topological semi-metal, there is no plan at all. It relies purely on inferring the process from samples. How can modern technology be so easy to infer.
If any part of the process is missed, the results will be very different.
All the new photoresist-related patents of Dow Chemical and Sumitomo Chemical have been registered. The patent wall is not only their protection, but also a weapon for competitors to reverse crack.
Traditional craftsmanship is being overtaken by the old and middle-class at an unimaginable speed, and new craftsmanship can leave pitfalls that others can climb out of in just two or three clicks.
The old man really doesn’t know what to do to curb Dongda’s development in the chip industry.
He even doubted whether any of the officials in the White House were from Tokyo University.
Of course, maybe these officials thought he was from Dongda University.
This is the end of the dynasty when basic trust cannot be guaranteed.
The old man thought to himself that MD himself would be equated with the previous old man who was still lying in the ward and in a vegetative state. Both of them got zero points in the confrontation with Dongda.
The most promising chip is like this, let alone other aspects.
“I need to know how we can curb the development of Dongda in the chip industry now!”
After the old man finished speaking, there was silence.
After the unspeakable silence, the White House Secretary-General whispered: "There is no way."
Although his voice was very low, it was still clearly transmitted to everyone's ears. .
This is the illusion caused by the extreme gap. Being too quiet can cause even a small sound to be deafening.
“I think we should make a tactical peace with Tokyo University in the chip industry.”
Tactical peace?
When the keyboard politicians of the University of Tokyo open the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Bloomberg, which are still objective and fair media, they feel that they have gone to the wrong place.
The objective public looks at who to compare with. If you compare the Washington Post and the Washington Times, you will think that the Washington Post is too objective. Is it still Americen’s media?
The latter is a media founded by the American leader Xie Jiao from Korea, and has never stopped focusing on black, old and Chinese.
When you see the Washington Times news reprinted by Chinese self-media, you only need to click × subconsciously, and you don’t have to spend a second on it, except for those who like this one.
"The chip field needs international cooperation"
"Washington's decision is an infringement of the modern business spirit"
"The world can accommodate both Eastern and Western universities"
The old and Chinese keyboard politicians were dumbfounded when they saw it. They even felt that this should not be seen in the American media, but should be seen in the media of the University of Tokyo and on an official basis.
“Washington’s behavior is a serious violation of the modern business spirit and a serious violation of the open and inclusive global economic environment created by America.”
Not long after, Xiaomi found the top federal law firm, Covington & Burling, the same law firm that sued Amerikan in 2021, and sued the federal government on the grounds of violating the Western Constitution. Call for the federal repeal of a series of regulations surrounding semiconductors.
In a sense, this is a public slap in the face of the White House.
But there is no way.
You know, Dongda imports US$350 billion in chips every year. Even if this number has been declining in recent years, it is still US$200 billion.
If all raw materials, equipment, patents, etc. in the upstream and downstream of the chip industry are included, this number will be close to 500 billion US dollars.
If you consider the consumer electronics market, it's even harder to estimate.
Such a big market has been handed over to Chinese enterprises, and it is the kind that will never come back. Let alone a slap in the face from the White House, they are willing to get this market back with a shot from the White House.
When he discovered that he had made a strategic misjudgment, Xida's body was soft enough and his methods were clever enough.
First let the media blow the whistle, severely criticize Western University’s behavior, and then advocate that Eastern University and Western University should cooperate.
Then find Xiaomi, a Chinese company that has successfully sued American, to sue the American government, apply to claim that the relevant laws are unconstitutional, and then directly repeal them.
After the prosecution was launched, these laws were annulled through the court level and it was pretended that nothing happened.
Finally, the global public opinion machine was activated to promote how great Western University is, how much it has a spirit of contract, and how much it respects the law.
It seems like a loss, but actually it is a win.
After a series of operations, Lao Zhong was stunned for a moment.
“A funeral ceremony comparable to the Dunkirk evacuation
Recently, too many self-media have been talking about Amerikan’s dizzying series of operations. Let’s not talk about Lao America. They first attracted Neon to prevent them from cooperating with Dongda’s topological semi-metal chips, and then let their own chip industries sign very unreasonable supply agreements with Lao and Chinese companies.
I won’t talk about these, because there are too many self-media talks about this matter, and I hope to talk about something different.
Since Xiaomi announced that it would sue the federal government, then formally sued, and then successfully sued, Mr. Lei took credit on Weibo, and KOLs from the Mi family were in a unanimous climax on Weibo, claiming that Xiaomi had accomplished something that no other company could. to things.
From a purely conspiracy theory point of view, this is completely self-directed and self-acted by the United States. Xiaomi is nothing more than playing the role of a bottle opener in this self-directed and self-acted act.
It doesn’t matter who opens the bottle, what matters is that the bottle is opened. If Xiaomi doesn't come, OPPO or VIVO will play this role. It's just that Xiaomi has played a similar role. He has been sued for being blacklisted before, and he will be familiar with it again.
In addition, Xiaomi itself is also happy to do this. How newsworthy is it? There may not even be 1% of the public who suspect that this is self-directed and self-acted, leaving 99% of the consumption. If everyone is buying into this kind of propaganda, it is uncertain whether we will be able to enjoy the same super-national status as Huawei in the future.
After all, as long as you say on the Simplified Chinese Internet that this was directed and performed by Lao America, Lao America’s advantage in the semiconductor field is no longer enough for them to use the past methods to deal with Lao China, you will be slapped A pink hat.
I have seen a large number of self-media bragging about how well Laos and the United States abide by the law. Foreign companies can defeat the White House through the law and change the White House's strategy. The reason why Lao America has been strong for so many years is because of its business spirit.
Such remarks are not only everywhere on the Chinese and Simplified Chinese Internet, but also the media in the United States and the United States use the same caliber to promote them.
So much so that I can see that the history of the 20th century can be repeated again in the 21st century.
I don’t know if any of you readers have heard of the Dunkirk evacuation. Germany attacked the western European countries. At that time, England, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg had a total of 147 divisions and more than 3 million troops. , the military strength is equivalent to that of Germany.
The British and French forces declared no war against Germany and stayed behind the Maginot Line, thinking they could sit back and watch the success or failure. As a result, Germany bypassed the Maginot Line and attacked the French mainland.
The British and French allied forces did not put up any decent resistance at all and retreated directly. Germany was pressing on Dunkirk from the west, south and east. The nearest German tank was only 10 miles away from the port. , however, on May 24, 1940, the German army received an order to stop advancing personally from Mao Zedong, which gave the British and French allied forces a glimmer of hope. This is the history of the Dunkirk evacuation.
Germany reported to the team, and teammates Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg called England and France to help. As a result, the two brothers just hid in the defense line and refused to get out. After Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg were wiped out, the two brothers If the situation is not right, he will immediately start running away. He doesn’t want any land or anything.
All heavy equipment was left to Germany.
This matter could be repeatedly boasted by these two brothers, and it became a big victory.
The problem is that you create a situation where 'people lose the land, and everyone loses the land. No matter how you approach the theory that "land is lost and people are here, both land and land are gained," in the end you have nothing, and you just keep bragging about how clever you are, how fast you run, and how successful you are in escaping.
After reading that period of history carefully, you will feel that these two brothers are the same. The story of France’s surrender has been played to this day, and the Great Empire is not much better.
Talking back to the amazing operation of the United States, isn’t this the Dunkirk evacuation?
Just before your eyes, under the leadership of Guangshen, 3nm has been conquered, and Butterfly Chip is about to take over. Not only will your own market share collapse, but also your allies will have to be dragged into the pit, and then suddenly say, I No more fun, it was just a joke.
Finally, you have to find a bunch of cheerleaders to praise you for how humorous and generous you are, and how advanced your joke is.
This is no different from the Dunkirk evacuation. They are all self-righteous performances. Do you really think that this method of play can make the Chinese stop you?
Just wait and see, maybe a few companies will sway. From a macro perspective, it is inevitable that the world's semiconductor industry chain will split into two camps.
Washington’s behavior is nothing more than digging his own grave and giving China more leverage.
I have seen the transformation of the United States into Britain and France. However, in the last century, no matter how ugly the Dunkirk evacuation of the British and French brothers was, the United States eventually came to the rescue. After the Dunkirk evacuation of the United States in this century, there will be another Who will save you?
You can’t count on the three brothers Neon, Gao Li, and Wanwan to save you, right? ”
This WeChat public account article has been widely circulated in the circle of friends. There is a mistake in it, that is, the proportion of old and middle-aged people who see this as a conspiracy is far less than one percent.
Thanks to the popularity of self-media, a large number of self-media have widely disseminated this point of view. This is a play directed and performed by Americans, and it is naturally recognized by rabbits. Therefore, the popularity of this point of view can even reach 30%.
“Even if the situation changes, I think we should still walk on two legs and take the chip initiative in our own hands.
Now that Yuanguang has conquered the 3nm process, the shackles in this area are gone.
Butterflies are the best bargaining chips between us and the White House. If there are no butterflies this time, will we have any chips in the game?
There are butterflies this time, what about next time? ”
The self-media who write public accounts can see Laomei’s calculations, can Lei Jun not see it?
Of course not possible.
Not only could Lei Jun see Laomei's plan, he could also smell the possible attacks that Xiaomi would suffer from public opinion after doing this.
Take one step and count the next three steps. These are basic qualities.
Cooperating with the United States in this drama will definitely have more positive impact than negative impact abroad, especially in the vast number of countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Everyone must think that Xiaomi is awesome, and it can sue and successfully sue.
Including in Europe, it is also a positive marketing event that can break the circle.
Among Lao and Chinese, this will further intensify the differentiation of Xiaomi's reputation. Mi Hei will hate Xiaomi even more, while Mi Fans and ordinary consumers will be indifferent.
These are the impacts on the consumer group, and they are not enough to make Lei Jun determined to take over the pot.
What made him determined was to use this incident to promote the establishment of third-party chip design companies, and let OPPO obediently take out the butterflies in their hands as the starting assets of third-party chip design companies.
It's a very simple logic. When Qualcomm sells it to you and doesn't let you sell it, Butterfly is the only option. It's very difficult to force OPPO to make concessions. Even if it can be done, it will require a lot of blood.
Now, flagship phones equipped with Qualcomm's 2nm chip can be sold casually, and Butterfly's 3nm is not that advanced. After its uniqueness is lost, the possibility of OPPO making concessions has greatly increased.
The biggest resistance is the emotional level. The butterfly that finally flies across the sea does not belong to you.
However, Lei Jun is very confident that mature entrepreneurs can make the right decisions regardless of emotional factors.
There is not a single Chinese smartphone manufacturer that can survive to this day that is irrational.
“The situation has become too fast now. Things that were counted in the last second will not be counted in this second.
I agree with Lei Jun’s suggestion that each company should do its own research. It is a huge waste of resources and increases costs out of thin air.
Except for marketing gimmicks, the benefits are limited.
We should pool the efforts of various companies to establish a third-party chip design company, and then take on the design of high-end chips.
We also need to set certain standards. We cannot pursue cost-effectiveness without restraint, and we cannot lower high-end chips to the price of 3,000 yuan, or even 2,000 yuan. "Glory's executives are most afraid of Xiaomi doing this.
When the time comes, they will pile up materials for the Redmi mid-range model and bring down the entire high-end chip.
