Chapter 423: Who sanctions whom?
"Surprise! Fire at the Umbrella Electrode Factory"
Lithium metal battery production is expected to drop sharply
"Was the fire intentional? Or was it an accident?"
Umbrella may have suffered revenge
"How could a fire occur with Umbrella's security capabilities?"
After the fire broke out at Umbrella's electrode factory, all major media outlets instantly began reporting on the incident in their headlines.
Umbrella's new battery technology has been a long time coming.
The initial production volume was very low, and it could only start with Umbrella's own trial electric vehicles, and then small electronic products such as mobile phones.
However, with the electrode factories in Mexico and Brazil coming into production, those battery factories that had long been beaten half to death were able to survive again.
If we only produce electrodes and all other battery factories in the world work together, the production capacity of this battery will naturally increase.
Masla's SX electric car company has launched an updated version of its electric car.
Although the mileage is only 600 kilometers, the weight of the battery is greatly reduced and the battery charging time is accelerated!
Safety has increased dramatically.
In addition, car owners can choose to pay to add battery modules to further improve battery life.
In addition, they have already started warming up electric trucks.
It can be said that this battery revolution has already subtly come to all walks of life, has had a profound impact on all fields, and even changed the industrial structure.
People have long been accustomed to this high-performance battery life.
But the result was a fire in the electrode factory?
At this moment, all companies in related industries immediately felt their scalps tingling and frantically raised prices to grab the remaining production capacity and orders.
In addition to Umbrella's own battery factory, other battery factories also fully demonstrated the profit-seeking nature of capital at this time.
Oh, there was a fire in the electrode factory, so it might be shut down for a year?
That’s not an instant price increase!
This kind of key material must be stockpiled to a certain extent, but it is obviously impossible for them to sell the remaining battery production capacity at a fair price.
When a product has a gap, even if the gap is only 10%, the actual price increase may be beyond imagination.
Not to mention that this is a key product and it is certain that it will be discontinued for a year.
Yes, Umbrella also has its own battery factories, which can be found in Neon, South Korea and Rabbit.
But after slowly adjusting the industrial structure, Umbrella’s own battery factory now only supplies itself!
I can’t spare any hands!
In a short period of time, we have seen the price of lithium metal batteries increase exponentially.
The price doubled as soon as the news came out, and quadrupled the next day!
Even so, it’s still rising!
He just went crazy and killed people.
The price cost has increased so much that it can only be passed on to consumers in the end.
Yes, in fact, the relevant manufacturers signed the contract price in advance.
But faced with a fire, there is nothing we can do if we don’t have the goods!
These are all stated in the contract.
For a time, the manufacturers who had just announced that they would enter a new digital era were in a very embarrassing situation.
This is not the first time that Umbrella has been sanctioned, nor is it the first day.
He had remained silent all along, but I didn't expect him to be so ruthless after he started the formal counterattack!
And all of this is based on Umbrella's annihilation of the Kangaroo Fleet!
This action demonstrated Umbrella's determination and strength, and then they found an excuse to counter-sanction, and in an instant the related manufacturers who were initially complacent were crying for their parents.
It can be said that the only company that can obtain a stable and long-term supply of batteries is Umbrella's own products.
This directly made domestic netizens express their joy.
"Haha, I guess Umbrella didn't mean it."
"It's hilarious. I used to feel sorry for Umbrella, a company that was sanctioned, but I didn't expect them to come up with something big right away."
"Yeah, when I saw Da Piaoliang imposing this and that sanctions, I was quite angry at first."
"As expected, the biting dog doesn't bark. Umbrella has been providing their technology and products imperceptibly, but before we knew it, we found that we couldn't do without them!"
"During the first sanction, Umbrella did not retaliate, nor did they retaliate at the beginning of the second sanction. Until this time, they really hit the snake at its weakest point, quickly and accurately!"
"I used to wonder why Umbrella always licensed out some of its profitable technologies. Now I realize how ruthless it is."
"When battery production capacity has not yet been fully increased and people have not yet gotten used to it and become indispensable, this countermeasure has not been very effective because people can immediately go back to using the old technology. Now, the original battery factories have all transformed, and it is too late to make a temporary change."
"Good steel should be used on the blade."
"But if it weren't for the action against the kangaroos, Umbrella probably wouldn't have chosen such a tough approach. When Da Piaoliang put pressure on the back garden, the locals wouldn't be able to withstand the pressure. Now it seems that it can really work..."
"I was thinking that Umbrella's technological advantage is not just about batteries. Who can live without Ankangding now?"
"Fuck!"
"Going crazy!"
"If the culture medium is cut off, the impact will be huge! Ankangding is mainly used for sleep, and some life-saving drugs now also require culture medium."
"It's really a waste of time. They mine and produce by themselves. Although the chip technology is not so good, at least the industry is complete and they can withstand it. But in the end, they impose counter-sanctions. Those companies can't bear it?"
"What counter-sanctions? That's a misfire!"
"Be careful or I'll sue you for libel."
"Umbrella is a legitimate security company with a legal team."
“…”
When ASML's EUV lithography machine first came out, it was in high spirits and secretly started planning and assembling it in advance, allowing the wafer fab to start debugging immediately and also released a short film titled "An Enemy with the World".
Now we have finally managed to tape out the 5nm process chip!
A Jedi counterattack is about to begin!
As a result, Umbrella directly stabbed him in the lungs.
As far as the current performance of mobile phones is concerned, due to Umbrella's optimization of EDA, the chip has reached the limit of 14nm and the functions are already powerful enough.
Current software has not yet fully exploited the optimized 14nm chips.
The same is true for business value.
Therefore, whether it is Umbrella's holographic bracelet or the original ultra-long battery life, they are more "practical".
Allowing consumers to choose is like voting with their feet!
As a result, we have just taped out a 5nm chip, and we are going to strangle you and force you to watch us upgrade.
Umbrella responded with a counter attack with such force that it almost strangled all the related companies.
Masra, who had just started to make progress on the other side of the ocean, flew to Umbrella headquarters overnight.
It's the chip factory that wants to mess with you, it has nothing to do with me!
Don’t you have other battery factories in Umbrella?
You don't need so much, do you?
Please make it more even!
"Ah? All of them? Why? It just so happens that their production capacity is limited, and we can take over the market."
Umbrella's words made Masra a little confused.
Then he said with some anticipation
"But the market for our SX electric vehicles..."
"Oh, our electric car products are coming out soon. Also, we have been talking about entering the home appliance market, so the demand for batteries is huge. I'm really sorry, we can't come out with any of them..."
