Chapter 314 Sanctions
Hard fight!
After Da Piaoliang leaked the news that it would impose sanctions, some companies did not beg for mercy and went straight to the front!
This was not only unbelievable to Da Piaoliang, but everyone who knew the situation felt incomprehensible.
What you said, Umbrella, is actually correct, but you can't say it like that!
Da Piaoliang was about to hit you, and now you are doing this, which makes the originally possible sanctions inevitable.
From the very beginning, Umbrella was at the center of the public opinion storm, so this official statement was very hurtful to Da Piaoliang.
He was even a little angry and embarrassed. Within almost an hour, the spokesperson condemned Umbrella in righteous words, saying that Umbrella was an irresponsible company and that drastic measures had been taken.
Almost immediately, the Ministry of Commerce issued the notice that it had prepared long ago.
Considering that Umbrella's medicines are very important for saving lives, and considering that Umbrella's batteries are also important, the sanctions area is placed on chips.
Companies that use the great technology are not allowed to provide high-end chips to Umbrella!
Even if Da Piaoliang’s skills are only one percent, it won’t work!
This is actually a normal face of a beautiful girl.
Obviously I still need to use your technology, your patents, and even your products, but I can still impose sanctions without hesitation.
Anyway, I only sanction this, and the others are irrelevant.
At this time, it is still difficult to impose reverse sanctions on the sanctioned companies. For example, I will not allow you to use my patent. If you really do this, Da Piaoliang will definitely kick you out of the global supply chain.
However, because of Umbrella's direct confrontation at the press conference, it has increased its popularity to a certain extent.
Many people in the West still like this image, not to mention that Umbrella's new products are really good.
"It's over. Is it possible to buy the Red Queen bracelet?"
"The sanctions haven't come into effect yet. Should we be able to work overtime and produce a batch of goods before they come into effect?"
"The Red Queen bracelet is really awesome! It's amazing."
"The fruit has officially announced that it wants to actively seek cooperation with Umbrella. It may launch a fruit version of the bracelet. Let's wait and see."
"Yes, the world will continue to turn without anyone, and other products will naturally replace them."
"But it feels a bit funny now. How come the fruit has become Umbrella's OEM factory? The core technology has become Umbrella's."
"The chips and systems are all developed by Fruit."
"Come on, the chip relies on Umbrella's EDA software upgrade design, which is just an IOS system."
"But unfortunately, once Umbrella's high-end chips are cut off, it will inevitably be powerless in the future."
"This press conference may be the swan song of Umbrella electronic products."
“…”
Various voices emerged, and the situation of Umbrella was not optimistic.
Various voices have also emerged in the country.
"How can a beautiful woman be like this?"
"That's right. I've said that before, but I didn't expect Umbrella to be so tough."
"Haha, you are overestimating your own abilities and are throwing an egg against a rock."
"What gave him the courage to go against the beacon of civilization?"
At this time, Xu Silong, a big V professor who owns a house in the capital, also posted a screenshot of his property for sale.
"Everyone, the house has been sold, the visa has been signed, and I will be leaving for a civilized country soon. Don't be jealous, even though this is money you will never earn in your lifetime."
Needless to say, the housing prices in the capital are so high that a professor's life savings plus the money from selling his house is definitely a considerable income!
A large number of messages echoing the post also appeared on Weibo.
"Come back here!"
"I'm so envious, embracing civilization."
"The village is distributing gold bars, come back quickly."
"Can you take me with you?"
“…”
This kind of servile response made Professor Xu Silong's heart swell to the extreme, and he felt extremely superior.
"Dear netizens, when I get there I will no longer use Weibo, I will use Mobvoi instead. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Wait for my good news, and I will broadcast live to the civilized world.
"Also, Umbrella Corporation overestimates its own capabilities and should indeed be sanctioned. Before you leave, I would like to remind you to unite with the civilization and boycott Umbrella's products."
All along, many people have just talked about it. Now a practical person has come here, and he is a professor with a very good status in the country. In fact, netizens still feel a little uncomfortable.
Because this big V was the vanguard of the overthrow of Umbrella last time, the popularity of him is still quite high after the sanctions against Umbrella were introduced.
Even Fang Chuan responded
"Congratulations, Professor Xu. I will be leaving soon, and we will work together to create brilliance together at Da Piaoliang."
Although Fang Chuan had been suppressed for a while because of Wang Yi's rising popularity, this guy did not dare to cause trouble to Wang Yi after being suppressed for a long time, but he became more aggressive in finding trouble with other people.
There have been signs of a ban recently.
After noticing that the atmosphere was wrong, he immediately prepared to run away.
However, unlike Xu Silong who went directly to the black list first, Fang Chuan's identity advantage, who already had connections there, made it much more convenient.
Two big Vs in a row, who are big Vs with considerable social status, did this. Coupled with the domineering way that Da Piaoliang sanctioned Umbrella, it still brought a great shock to many netizens.
The status of a professor can be said to be higher than that of 80% or even 90% of ordinary people. Fang Chuan also has a high social status and can be said to be an "elite".
There were even people who already longed for the chance, and when they saw such a big V go there without hesitation, they immediately decided to go as well.
Those who can get a visa should do so and then continue to work illegally.
Those who have criminal records or other negative information that prevents them from getting their visas approved have begun to consider some unorthodox methods.
Thinking that since they want to take a chance and since they already have a record, some people are now borrowing and even taking out loans on a large scale, taking whatever wool they can get, and then choosing to go their own way!
The so-called route is actually a wild way to get to Da Piaoliang if your visa is not approved, and then find a way to go to a place in South America where you can pass through, and then go "north" illegally all the way to Da Piaoliang.
The general order is Ecuador, Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica, Honduras, Guatemala, Mexico, and finally Brazil.
Along the way, you have to hike through the Death Canyon and the tropical rainforest, and face the terrifying public security in South America and Mexico, as well as a series of problems such as possible robberies along the way.
Well, a normal person can probably use their brain to calm down after listening to this journey .
But some confused guys, under the boasting of the agents and the planning of some beautiful blueprints for the future, actually chose this path with their families.
The reason why we bring our family along is because children are a good umbrella of protection!
Now that someone of Xu Silong's status and position has made this choice, naturally he will have many followers.
Coupled with the recent hot promotion, the agents were all smiling from ear to ear for a while.
For them, every success means making a profit. As for how much more they can make in the future, it depends on their personal luck and financial situation.
As for the life and death of the past people? That's none of their business! They are just earning the agency fee, not your parents. If you still have money, you can continue to "help". If you don't have money, I don't care about you!
Haha, a stranger wants to help you get rich and live a god-like life?
Who do you think you are...
Umbrella's innovative technologies are also displayed here, making it the fastest growing company.
But it is these top companies that will be sanctioned if they want, and will not be given chips if they want.
This feeling also made many people truly experience for the first time the dominance and powerlessness of Da Piaoliang.
In fact, there are often some military-related enterprises being sanctioned in the country, but because they are far away from ordinary people, and there was at least a fig leaf in the past, since this involves military industry, people don’t feel much about it.
In the past, there were indeed not many domestic companies that were "worthy" of being sanctioned, and they were not qualified to challenge.
But what happened to Umbrella this time made many people feel sad for each other.
Yes, Umbrella is also a foreign company, but their attitude towards China has always been very good, and their hepatitis B medicine has saved countless lives.
But now there is such a company that can block our bottleneck!
What will happen if it happens to your own business in the future?
Killing the chicken to scare the monkey? Chilling effect?
So that no one dares to disobey?
This, perhaps, is Da Piaoliang's original purpose...
For a time, the entire network atmosphere and the overall momentum were relatively weak.
At this time, Umbrella also issued another announcement, directly revealing the information of the previous acquisition of Connie's lithography technology and production equipment, as well as the acquisition of Four Star and Toshiba's wafer equipment.
“We have actually made some preventive preparations. Even if we are sanctioned, we will find a way to make it ourselves!
"But we respect free trade and do not want to be subjected to such disrespectful sanctions and groundless accusations."
Umbrella's initial acquisition was not small, and people in the industry are actually aware of this.
But precisely because of this clarity, he knows the gap between what Umbrella acquired and the most advanced technology!
This amount of time is just enough to debug and assemble and complete the initial mass production!
It would be good enough if mid- and low-end chips could be mass- produced, but high-end ones can forget about it.
But because of Umbrella's own interests and many bundled interests.
After Umbrella was sanctioned, unexpectedly many companies came out to help speak up.
Fruit, Four Star, LG, Panasonic, Toshiba, and even many other pharmaceutical companies, as well as the interest groups tied to Purdue Pharma, all spoke one-sidedly for Umbrella.
After the fruit products, which were their original competitors, started to speak up, many people were a little confused and had no idea what was going on.
Judging from the momentum, there seems to be an intention to confront the beautiful Ministry of Commerce.
But only those in the industry know that this is just talk to give Umbrella a good impression!
After all, Umbrella itself has many weaknesses, and they don't want Umbrella to fight to the death, which will not benefit them at all.
This can be considered as a step down...
