When Fidel arrived in Shanghai from Los Angeles after a dozen hours of flight, the night view of the city fascinated him. This place was once hailed as 'Paris of the East', but now Paris is dwarfed in front of it.
Out of the airport, someone picks up. A fat man stepped forward and hugged Fidel. "Ah ..., my dear friend, it really makes me happy to see you. I haven't been able to meet someone who can speak for a long time."
The fat man is called Chuck, a former CIA employee, has done a lot of work, and has a wide range of contacts and channels. He has been engaged in certain prohibited smuggling activities in Shanghai these years. Fidel contacted him because he wanted to use his network.
The two got in the car and Fidel greeted ‘how is it going’. Chuck waved his hand, shook his head and said uncomfortably: "It sucks, it sucks."
"I thought you were very beautiful." Fidel only laughed when his friends were talking.
But Chuck started the car and said seriously: "Fidel, I'm serious. My condition is terrible. I can only dance and dance around the nightclubs around the girl every day, or brag about nothing. But I have no big business for more than a year.
I can only smuggle prohibited goods to Beibang now, or find a way to get something good for the Persians in the Middle East. But these are poor ghosts, and they have no way for me to make big money. Oh, yes, even the Persians have not looked for me recently, which makes me very unhappy. "
There is a blockade in this world, and some people are smuggling for high profits. Chuck stayed at Shanghai just to find a way to sell non-sell products from Europe, America, Japan and other countries to rabbits. But his business has fallen sharply in the past year because the biggest customer abandoned him.
"I used to think of ways to bring a few kilograms of high-grade carbon fiber to the rabbit government every month, but they stopped buying from me two years ago." Chuck opened the conversation box and complained in sections.
"I bet that the satellites launched by the rabbit used carbon fiber you provided. You helped them a lot. The CIA should really send you to prison." Fidel said.
"Yes, that's right." Chuck laughed and scolded bitterly: "I don't know how to do it. The rabbit opened the channel for direct purchase from the foot basin" Dongli "company. The same is true for the "Teijin" company. They buy hundreds of kilograms each time, and even buy tons.
I secretly investigated that ‘Dongli’ even tried to cover up the fact that the company ’s performance increased last year, and even killed two financial officers who tried to report the matter. And in order to bleach their income, their senior executives also find ways to launder money. The **** made the profit that originally belonged to me. "
Chuck hated the steering wheel, Fidel asked: "No one reported this?"
"Yes, they are all dead. The national security of the rabbit is protecting this smuggling line. One of my men was hacked to the streets of Tokyo for investigating the matter. The police in the foot basin said that he died of the gangster dispute. Scared and quickly escaped from the foot basin.
There must be a lot of secrets here, but I dare not investigate further. If I mess up again, I will be the target of hunting.
What ’s ridiculous is that the past blockade forced the rabbit to develop its own carbon fiber. But now that the high-grade carbon fiber can be easily purchased from the foot basin, the rabbit actually slowed down the technological development of the domestic carbon fiber industry. "
Chuck is grinning, Fidel feels that the rabbit has penetrated deeper and deeper into the foot basin. He continued to ask: "Is there anything else? It's strange."
Chuck shrugged and sneered: "Weird? There are more strange things. I have a lot of stories in my stomach. For example, the rabbit recently made a smart doctor, and there is something related to it.
The best lithography machine in the world is manufactured by ASML in the Netherlands. Because of the limitations of the Wassenaar agreement, rabbits cannot buy the latest lithography machine to make chips. "
Fidel naturally understands the Wassenaar Agreement. This is the continuation of the Batumi agreement that year, which is a targeted technical barrier. The signatories to the Wassenaar Agreement will not sell as long as they are urgently needed by rabbits. The more the enemy does not sell, the more the rabbit wants to buy.
In terms of the lithography machine, the rabbit's method is to cooperate with the Belgian microelectronics research institute IMEC to purchase the ASML lithography machine they used for five years, which is in compliance with the provisions of the Wassenaar Agreement. But in five years, it is two or three generations behind in the semiconductor field.
"Did you know? This business is very easy to do. The Belgians are happily dying and they make a lot of money easily. But last year, the rabbit chip maker no longer bought Belgian used goods."
This kind of story is very interesting, Fidel listened very fascinating. At the moment when Chuck paused, he asked back: "Has the rabbit's technology broken forward?"
Each time the rabbit ’s technology breaks forward a bit, the Wassenaar protocol is slightly modified. For example, in a lithography machine, when the Shanghai Optoelectronics made a 180-nanometer process, the Wassenaar agreement stuck at 90-nanometer. When you get 90 nanometers, it gets stuck at 60 nanometers.
However ... this time, Chuck shook his head and said: "It's not as simple as a technological breakthrough, it's flying over. The Belgians originally thought that the rabbit technology had broken through and wanted to lower the blockade standard to sell the old machines.
But the rabbit directly said they did n’t need anything, not even the latest ten-nanometer lithography machine. The Belgian Tun ’s goods were all in their hands. They furiously asked the Wassenaar Commission to investigate the matter, wondering who was behind to provide the rabbit with equipment and caused them to lose money.
The investigation revealed that no one sold. No one knows what happened? The Belgians did not sell the lithography machine in their hands, and the rabbit did not negotiate at all, just a word-no.
At this time, the rabbit announced that it would skip the current mainstream 14 nanometers, ten nanometers or even five nanometers, and directly start the three nanometer lithography process. They claim that the new fab is under construction and it is said that it can be put into production in two years. "
Fidel has been in trouble for the past two years, but has not paid attention to news such as lithography machines. But he also knows that semiconductors are few rabbits who have not stood in the first-class industry, and the lithography machine technology is more than ten years behind the world's advanced level.
In the annual imports of rabbits, mid- to high-end chips are the largest part. If this stuff is caught up or even surpassed by the rabbit, the fun will be great. The geopolitical landscape should be shuffled.
Every country in the world can do everything like rabbits. In fact, all rabbits can do anything.
Some countries and regions rely on a certain industry to feed their citizens. For example, booby countries rely on shipping to drive finance, such as South Korea relying on semiconductors and shipbuilding powers, such as an island in the southeast relying on semiconductors and ..., fraud industry mixed life.
If rabbits get through the chip manufacturing industry chain, it is not a matter of occupying the domestic market, but it is bound to be dumped on a large scale. There are many countries and regions where there is no way to mix up-still want to be lucky? Go to hell!
I just arrived in Shanghai, and I was taken aback by all investigations without starting. Fidel realized that the situation described by Chuck was extremely serious. "Is this news reliable?"
Chuck shook his head: "There are all kinds of unconfirmed news on the side of the rabbit. It is not clear whether they are actually flying over the chip manufacturing technology. It is not clear who will know this. The new fab will even have a specific location. Not exposed.
However, the used lithography machine in Belgium cannot be sold anymore. This is a fact. This situation even implicated ASML in the Netherlands, and all countries with the entire semiconductor industry are concerned. "
Chuck said it could not be confirmed, but there is already a lot of indirect evidence. Fidel didn't expect to face such a bad situation as soon as he landed. It seems that there are still many ‘surprise’ waiting for him.
God, why did you create the eagle sauce, but still keep rabbits to make trouble?
