Chapter 315 Something is wrong with you
"Look, even the fruit company is speaking for Umbrella. The sanctions haven't taken effect yet, so there's probably still a chance."
"And Umbrella was prepared! They are Umbrella after all!"
"Yeah, it was a bit strange that the technology of companies like Connie that we acquired previously never showed up. Now it seems that they are very good at predicting things!"
"Great job, Umbrella."
“…”
Some people in China also felt very happy after seeing some company statements on the Internet.
But soon, as Umbrella's number one fan, 'Si Hai Wei Jia' posted a TT video and said rationally
"Don't be misled by the usual faces of the West. In fact, they hope that Umbrella will be sanctioned, because this way they can divide Umbrella's market and have the opportunity to buy Umbrella's patents or authorizations. You should know that Umbrella is extremely powerful in artificial intelligence services and batteries. In fact, they need to rely on Umbrella, so they speak like this..."
After hearing the explanation of "the whole world is my home", many people were so angry that they said
"Then Umbrella should just stop selling them batteries and move them directly to our country without playing with them!"
"Yes, we want him."
"Yes, we don't mind."
"And didn't Umbrella say they could build it themselves? What are you afraid of?"
"That's right. I believe that Umbrella's technology is definitely better than any other technology of the same level!"
“…”
However, it is not "The World is My Home" that refutes these voices, but many beautiful people with great spirits.
"Laughing and peeing, do you dare?"
“It’s actually an honor to be sanctioned!”
"We don't dare to accept it!"
“Thankfully the sanctions are in civilized hands.”
"They said they would create it? Do you think Umbrella is a god?"
“…”
Afterwards, 'Si Hai Wei Jia' ignored these people and responded directly to the netizens who had raised questions before with a separate video.
"I know what you mean, but unfortunately, things are not that simple. The relationship between forces is not as simple as that between people. Don't look at Da Piaoliang clamoring to sanction Umbrella now, but the two sides will still cooperate when they should, and the reason is Umbrella's biotechnology and batteries.
"Da Piaoliang is very pragmatic, otherwise why is the chip sanctioned? It is because other fields are useful to him! And Umbrella can indeed gain more by maintaining the status quo. If it abandons everything overseas and survives domestically, there will definitely be no problem, but I am afraid it will usher in a comprehensive suppression, and the losses will be even greater. It has not reached this level yet.
"As for chip manufacturing... Well, there are many things involved. To be honest, even if I recognize Umbrella's technology, Connie's lithography machine and the wafer factory equipment acquired by Umbrella are actually second-tier. Maybe Umbrella can make some improvements with the advantage of the lens, but given the complexity of the chip, it can only barely complete the mass production of mid-range chips in this short time..."
Although 'Si Hai Wei Jia' is Umbrella's number one fan, he is relatively rational. He even explained the chip manufacturing process in detail and made some comparisons with domestic ones.
It’s such a complicated thing, and it only took such a short time to run in. But to be able to complete the mass production of mid-range chips really shows how amazing Umbrella’s technology is!
Some science video hosts, including Boston Fatty, also spoke up to explain the sanctions.
It is called sanctions, but this is just a regulation of the beautiful Ministry of Commerce. In fact, it is relatively simple to abolish it. Now it is a kind of pressure on Umbrella, trying to force them to compromise and become what they want.
"Did you see the explanation of the buffer period? And the terms also say that if the Great Beauty Company wants to continue selling high-end chips, it can apply for a report. In fact, they have left all kinds of wiggle room and ways. It looks fierce, but their real intention is to force Umbrella to compromise. I estimate that the first step is that Umbrella will immediately increase its purchase of chips and place a large number of orders with various wafer factories before the sanctions come. At this time, no one will snatch Umbrella's orders, and 'give face' so that they can meet again in the future..."
Almost as soon as the words "the whole world is my home" came out, the media broke the news that all major wafer fabs were operating at full capacity to manufacture chips for Umbrella !
Chips needed for supercomputers and servers were also purchased in large quantities, exceeding that of previous years.
But because it was before the sanctions came into effect, all parties were relatively cooperative.
This means that Umbrella will not have any problems with shipments in the short term, but will obviously be restricted in the long term.
"Is it true that Umbrella itself can't complete the manufacture of the chip?"
"Yeah, at first you were quite excited to see me."
“In the end, I still had to buy it.”
“…”
At this time, Xu Silong, who had already sold his house and arrived at Da Piaoliang, made another sarcastic comment on Weibo:
"If he says he can make it, then he can make it? What do you think chips are? Ridiculous. He was just trying to cheer himself up before! Aren't we going to increase procurement?"
"Aren't you already here? Why don't you play some special games?"
"I will switch to a certain company as soon as my green card application is approved. Can't I operate on both fronts now? I am so free in Da Piao!"
Then someone dug out Xu Silong’s special account and found out that he had already registered and applied.
It's full of flattering words that are disgusting.
'Free air.'
'The fragrance of civilization.'
Wait, some of the accompanying pictures are really speechless. The most important thing is that some sharp-eyed people discovered that this guy had his wallet stolen as soon as he arrived at Da Piaoliang.
Although his wallet was stolen, he actually posted a long comment to express his happiness.
"I lost money, but I didn't lose a good mood. There's no need to be angry. The thief may be in urgent need of money, and may need money to change his fate or the fate of his children. As for me, try a sincere smile, a kind blessing, and change the good mood of the day right now~"
It was shocking that he smiled happily even after his wallet was stolen.
"Haha, I knew you little pink wolves would find trouble. Only I can feel the free atmosphere here."
Xu Silong sneered nonchalantly.
"But you didn't act like this when you lost your wallet in China. You almost cursed at me, but now you don't even call the police when you're abroad?"
"Wake up, over there, any amount below $950 is considered a small amount, and there is no penalty."
"Shut up! How can theft at home and abroad be the same? There is a world of difference! I have already found an agent to apply for a green card. Once I get the green card, I won't have to see you anymore."
At this moment, someone began to pour cold water on him.
"Green card agent? Professor Xu, don't be fooled."
"Haha, I know you're jealous. As expected, the comments in China are just stinking. Let's go, don't worry~"
The original discussion about Umbrella was diverted a lot because of this guy who jumped out at the beginning.
But overall, because of the explanation of "The World is My Home", everyone knows what happened to Umbrella now.
While Umbrella was actively purchasing, it was also preparing for the shipment of the Red Queen bracelet step by step.
At the same time, official statements have been continuously protesting the sanctions, and a number of applications have been submitted to the US Ministry of Commerce. At the same time, many legal procedures and lobbying work have been carried out, but to no avail.
Various rejections.
Every time Umbrella does this, it will become a hot topic, allowing everyone to see Umbrella's embarrassment and its great authority.
It’s meaningless no matter how strong your special warfare capabilities are!
It's commercial sanctions, can you withstand it?
With just one punch, Umbrella, which was once at its peak, was put into a state of disgrace.
There is constant hype about Da Piaoliang in China, even more than abroad.
It did not stop until the sanctions came into effect.
However, Umbrella has been holding on and has not given in. It continues to drag out its efforts, as if it is prepared to rely on its current inventory to delay time until the lobbying is passed.
But in everyone's eyes, this is a pointless struggle.
Although it was somewhat surprising that Umbrella refused to give in, it did not attract much attention because the company had too many profit points, and it had prepared a lot of inventory in advance, so it could hold out for a long time.
This does not affect the hot sales of the 'Red Queen Bracelet'.
This is a completely epoch-making product that has completely changed people's habits of using smartphones!
Some companies have even started to create special apps and even games using this three-dimensional projection.
The impact of the Yemen zombie incident has gradually decreased, because the West, which was in chaos due to the news of the zombie virus, has also regained a lot of vitality.
At least the attention is beginning to shift more towards other places.
Umbrella's new bracelet has also become one of the focuses of the transfer to some extent.
This once again proves that habits and memories are limited.
Once you get used to it, the Yemeni zombies seem to be just a normal thing!
Although Umbrella was sanctioned, it did not affect the onlookers' purchase and use of this epoch-making bracelet...
…
Ma Dong was live streaming his fitness routine, talking about some interesting things about the crew while leading his fans in doing aerobics.
At this moment, the express delivery arrived, and he said with joy on his face:
"My dear family members, the package has arrived. It is most likely Umbrella's Red Queen bracelet. I became famous because of Umbrella's A1 lens, so I have to test their new product no matter what."
Ma Dong definitely placed the order as soon as possible, so even though many people also bought it, it didn’t arrive so quickly.
Then we saw Ma Dong go out and sign for the express delivery, and he took the box directly in front of the camera and opened it on the spot.
"The packaging is very exquisite and small, much smaller than a mobile phone box, and the contents are also very simple. Wow, what is this? A wireless charging base? This is awesome!"
Ma Dong looked at the charging base with surprise on his face. The bracelet could be charged by just placing it on it. This is a brand new technology!
Just opening a box immediately filled the barrage with 666.
"I thought that was all at the previous press conference, but I didn't expect Umbrella to be too lazy to even mention this kind of innovation at the press conference?"
"This is the confidence of the technology! If it were another company, this wireless charging technology alone would be enough to hold a press conference, but they didn't even bother to mention it."
“When will this be available on mobile phones?”
"How fast is the charging speed?"
“…”
Ma Dong carefully read the instructions, then said to the camera
"In addition to wireless charging, there is also a hidden traditional charging port. When you are outside, you can use a power bank or something. However, the battery capacity of the Umbrella is here, so there is generally no power crisis. The battery can be used for two days, and it is enough for a week under normal use."
Ma Dong then opened the wrapping paper, revealing the streamlined bracelet, and placed it in front of the screen for a close-up.
At the same time, he said
"Not only does it look good, the material feels softer than the one on the phone. It reminds me of the lenses I tested. The instructions also say that it is highly breathable and can protect the skin. It is also fine to wear for a long time. Let me try it..."
As he finished speaking, he took the bracelet back from the camera and then put it on his hand.
As the bracelet automatically adjusted and shrank, it fit Ma Dong's wrist perfectly!
"It's amazing, the touch is really good, and the automatic locking force is just right, there is no discomfort at all!"
As Ma Dong spoke, he took out a watch and said
"This is a little gift I received when I was filming Undercover. I am not used to wearing a watch because it makes me feel awkward. However, Umbrella's bracelet does not feel awkward. As expected of a company that started out as a contact lens manufacturer, the comfort level of the skin is really perfectly controlled!"
Ma Dong’s sentiments are also the thoughts of the fans who are watching.
Because in addition to the powerful projection function of the bracelet itself, the micro-innovations and details have inherited Umbrella's delicacy as always.
Every aspect has been considered perfectly and appropriately.
And these were not even explained at the press conference!
After that, Ma Dong demonstrated the connection with the mobile phone. He put the phone directly into his pocket and started to control it with the bracelet from the front.
The pop-up 3D projection has such a smooth feeling that it really makes the barrage of comments like "bunker", "666" and "WTF" fill the screen.
Completely real, not a concept picture!
“And you don’t have to worry about unlocking or response problems, because the face recognition on the bracelet can be used to determine whether it’s working or not. Sometimes you don’t even need to use your fingerprint to unlock the bracelet. Everyone knows how considerate Red Queen is, and it’s very fun to use, and it’s not easy to accidentally touch it!”
Ma Dong waved it in front of his face a few times and also used fingerprint sliding to unlock it. There were no problems at all.
It can be said that based on its current performance, this smart bracelet can completely change people’s usage habits and even life habits!
"If I have to choose between a new flagship phone and a smartwatch, I will go with the smartwatch without hesitation. I can wait for the phone. The concept of this smartwatch is completely different. I won't say much, it's awesome!"
After that, Ma Dong also gave the screen a thumbs up, then continued to exercise with the bracelet on to test some of the bracelet's usage during exercise...
…
There are many live broadcasts of unboxing similar to Ma Dong's, both at home and abroad. There is no doubt that even the most picky customers are full of praise.
Some fruit fans were also convinced at this point, and they just hoped that Umbrella could license this technology so that they could produce their own fruit products.
With this almost entire network-wide popularity, the sales of the bracelets were beyond expectations and were sold out in an instant!
This forced Umbrella to prepare supplies as quickly as possible.
Batch after batch of additions...
At this time, many manufacturers such as Four Star and Fruit are waiting, waiting for the day when Umbrella’s inventory will run out.
At the same time, they were also actively lobbying, trying to persuade Umbrella to obey Da Piaoliang, while also trying to acquire some patents or purchase some licenses.
However, this time, Umbrella had no intention of providing authorization and was just playing Tai Chi.
It seems like if you help me lift the sanctions, I will provide paid authorization.
Always grinding.
There are various problems with trying to bypass Umbrella's authorization and force it directly, because the processes and technologies are Umbrella's own, and it takes a lot of time to bypass or crack them.
Although Umbrella's culture medium is still being sold normally to the outside world, if one seeks cooperation with Carl Zeiss or directly with Connie to make a breakthrough, there is a chance that it will be cracked if time is spent, but it is obvious that the time spent will definitely be very long, which is far less convenient than directly obtaining authorization from Umbrella.
But it is obviously impossible to help Umbrella remove the authorization now.
They have no choice but to wait until Umbrella chips are insufficient. In order to reduce losses, you can sell the finished products of the three-dimensional imaging accessories that have not been sanctioned, right?
Are the products that have not been sanctioned also stopped from production and rotting in the warehouse?
While Umbrella was selling bracelets hot, it also protested to Da Piaoliang from time to time, cooperating with Fruit and others to speak out, making the protest very successful.
Then……
The fruit and four-star factories that have been keeping a close eye on Umbrella are somewhat confused to find that why Umbrella's products are always so popular?
Even if a lot of orders were placed before, it's impossible to sell so many, right?
The main reason is that the 'Red Queen Bracelet' is so popular that its concept can almost be compared to the original Fruit 4 when it came out.
That sense of technology is something you can’t stop using in the real world once you use it. If you have it and others don’t, you can’t tell you how much fun it is to use it.
Suddenly a projector popped up on the road, and I pretended to interact with the smart assistant for a few sentences, which was very cool.
Because of this, the sales volume of the bracelet even exceeded Umbrella's own sales volume, which was a bit unexpected.
This is much larger than the shipment volume during the smartphone boom period!
Since many people already have smartphones, replacing them is not so urgent, but Red Queen bracelets are a brand new market.
result……
How did you get so many chips?
After opening it, I found that the complex 3D imaging also uses the "White Queen" chip!
20nm process!
Do you have that much stock?
Are you kidding me? Why don’t we know that the production capacity of those wafer fabs is so high?
It won’t be enough even if you use up the stock of your previous mobile phones!
The number of chips is relatively easy to count because only so many can be produced, but now it seems like a lot of them have appeared out of nowhere.
This can be said to have made the parties who have been waiting for the collapse of Umbrella Tower to have a lot of black question marks on their faces...
