The black technology empire started with a debt of one billion

After explaining the work, Cao Mang asked Lu Xiaolei to take Guo Kezun to work in the semiconductor department. The company's semiconductor department was established after Cao Mang purchased Xing Tian from the system. Cao Mang spent some prestige on the system to form the team.

The team has been idle since its formation, and the information about Pegasus and Xingtian has been fed to them through the system.

As long as Guo Kezun takes office, he can lead them to develop new technologies together.

2016:5 am on March 4, 8 in the United States.

In a villa in the affluent area of ​​Cutler Avenue in Ridgefield, Minnesota.

After washing up, Hubert Joly came to the dining room to enjoy the breakfast prepared by his Filipino maid with his family.

Just as he picked up the milk and took a sip, his cell phone rang.

[Caller: Lu Bingwei]

Hubert Joly took one look and picked up his cell phone to answer the call.

"Lou, why are you calling me so early?" Hubert Jolly greeted with a smile.

"Mr. Hubert, something happened in China last night. TSMC has stopped manufacturing chips for Deep Blue. Currently, we only have 3000 million chips left in our warehouse. These 3000 million Deep Blue MAX should be the final products.

Therefore, we plan to increase the shipping price of Deep Blue MAX. We will increase the shipment price by 30% from the original shipping price. " Lu Bingwei said.

"Lou, we have signed a contract, and you are violating the spirit of the contract." Hubert Jolly yelled angrily.

"Mr. Hubert, if you think the price is expensive, you can choose not to purchase any more. We can sell this batch of goods in Asia. Mr. Hubert, don't refuse in a hurry. Although our shipment price has increased by 30 %, but we have lifted your retail restrictions.

And we are willing to supply 2400 million units of Deep Blue MAX to your company. "

"According to rumors, the reason why TSMC stopped manufacturing for Deep Blue Technology is because Fobo cannot monitor DeepBlue MAX's calls, so they put pressure on TSMC. In the future, users will no longer be able to buy mobile phones that are not monitored by Fobo. .

Deep Blue MAX is an era ahead of other mobile phones in terms of performance. Users who buy a Deep Blue MAX can use it for at least five or six years.

I believe that many users will definitely pay a high price to buy a Deep Blue MAX mobile phone. Lu Bingwei added after saying that he was willing to supply 2400 million mobile phones to Best Buy.

When Lu Bingwei said this, Hubert Jolly seemed to be talking about it. After the Deep Blue MAX is discontinued, the price will definitely skyrocket. Even if they sell it for two thousand dollars, someone will buy it.

"Lu, will Deep Blue Technology produce new mobile phones in the future?" Hubert Joly asked.

Although they have made back the billion they spent to buy Deep Blue stores, if Deep Blue Technology can no longer produce mobile phones in the future, these stores will be closed soon. After all, most of the profits of Deep Blue stores come from Deep Blue mobile phones. .

Without Deep Blue Mobile, there is no need to open these specialty stores anymore.

Although the deal between Best Buy and Deep Blue Technology did not lose money, everyone hopes that this business can continue.

"We have found a solution. I can't tell you what the solution is. We will release new products in less than a year. Don't forget that we also have the most advanced XR glasses in the world. The chip reserve of XR glasses is very large. Generous." Lu Bingwei said.

"Okay, you will draft the new contract and send it to me, preferably before nine o'clock." Hubert Jolly said.

"No problem." Lu Bingwei replied.

Best Buy Deep Blue Technology Store on the 138st floor of the Kahn Building, 1 Fourth Avenue, New York.

After Deep Blue Technology transferred the store to Best Buy, Best Buy added Best Buy on the door. After all, these stores belong to Best Buy.

As usual, there was a long line outside the New York store.

New Yorkers are already used to this scene, because the amount released every day is very limited, which also results in users who want to buy it having to queue up in advance. Of course, those who don't want to queue up can also buy from scalpers.

Generally, scalpers will sell them at a price increase of one to two hundred dollars.

However, the situation in the specialty store seems to be a little abnormal today. Normally, the specialty store will open again. The staff came as early as [-]:[-], but it was not open until [-]:[-].

The people in the team started talking when they saw something was wrong.

"Does anyone know what's going on today? It's not even open at [-]:[-], and I have to rush back to work."

"Everyone is here to buy mobile phones. If you ask us, who should we ask?"

"Fake."

At this moment, a man exclaimed with fragrant breath.

"Brother, what happened?" asked the black man behind him.

"I just received a piece of bad news. It is said that because Ferbole cannot monitor Deep Blue MAX mobile phones, they are putting pressure on TSMC. They will not allow TSMC to manufacture chips for Deep Blue Technology anymore, which means that Deep Blue MAX may cease production at any time. ” explained Troy Beckman.

"I'd better go to eBay to see if there is a dark blue MAX. I'd better buy the dark blue MAX at a higher price." said the black boy Eagle Osborne.

At this time, users who were waiting in line took out their mobile phones to check the situation on eBay.

All the dark blue MAXs on ebay have gone up to US$2399 each.

Eagle Osborne was a little dumbfounded when he saw the price. The Deep Blue MAX online suddenly increased by US$1000.

"It seems that Deep Blue MAX has really been discontinued. I think everyone should disperse and buy fruit phones." A white man in the team said.

"In case there is still stock at Best Buy, it's not stupid to leave at this time. You can't buy it online for 2399." A white guy in front of the white guy said.

After hearing what the young man said, people who originally planned to leave chose to stay and continue queuing.

At this time, the store clerk opened the door and allowed the customers who were queuing to enter in an orderly manner.

Torre Panier, who was first in line, happily entered the store. After entering the store, he ran directly to the cashier without saying a word.

"Sir, how can I help you?" Cashier Lizzie Cromwell asked with a sweet smile.

"Bring me a top-of-the-line dark blue MAX." Torey Panier said.

"Sir, due to the tight supply of Dark Blue MAX, we have raised the retail price of Dark Blue MAX. The lowest configuration of Dark Blue MAX is US$1999, and the top configuration of Dark Blue MAX is US$2499." Lizzie Cromwell explained road.

"What?" Tore Panier was shocked when he heard the price.

Deep Blue MAX actually increased by 600 US dollars. This 600 US dollars is not a small amount of money for him.

At the same time, many people following him also discovered the price increase of Deep Blue MAX. "Sir, would you like the top version of the dark blue MAX?" Liqi Cromwell asked.

"Yes." Torre Panier gritted his teeth and said.

The low-end version on eBay sells for US$2399. The price in specialty stores is still cheaper than eBay. The main reason is that if you don’t buy it, you won’t be able to buy it again.

The news about Ferber ordering TSMC to stop manufacturing for Deep Blue has spread on the Internet.

Ok.

These news all come from folk gossip.

As for the promoter of this news, it goes without saying that Best Buy spent a lot of money to promote this news, but this amount of money is small money to them.

Deep Blue Technology shipped them to them at a price of US$1349, and they raised the retail price to US$1999. The average profit of a mobile phone is US$700. Lu Bingwei also promised to supply 2400 million units to Best Buy.

Best Buy can make a profit of 168 billion U.S. dollars after selling these machines. After deducting 120 costs, it can make a profit of at least [-] billion U.S. dollars.

Even if Deep Blue Technology is no longer able to produce mobile phones in the future, they will still be able to obtain a net profit of 120 billion.

This profit is five times greater than the sum of Best Buy's other businesses. Anyone who is a qualified businessman knows how to choose.

At the same time, netizens are also talking about this matter.

"Is it true or false that the Deep Blue mobile phone has been discontinued? Is Best Buy trying to increase the price of Deep Blue MAX?"

"I think this is true because of the urine properties of Fobo. I heard that China has started limited sales. The current products should be dark blue in stock. If they are sold out, they will be gone."

"Then I'll take leave tomorrow and go to a specialty store to buy a dark blue MAX. If I can't buy it anymore, I'll play ball."

"Only a fool would buy it at such an expensive price of 1999 U.S. dollars. Wouldn't it be nice for me to just buy an iPhone 8 plus max?"

"Can the iPhone 8 plus max be compared with the Deep Blue MAX? In terms of performance, the Deep Blue MAX beats the iPhone 8 plus max instantly, and the camera function of the Deep Blue MAX also beats all other mobile phones. With the performance of the Deep Blue MAX, it will not be eliminated in 4-5 years, even if I buy one in 1999 Deep Blue MAX is also very worthwhile.”

"Even if it wasn't Fobote, it was other mobile phone manufacturers. You must know that Deep Blue mobile phones have stolen most of the users of other manufacturers. It is normal for them to engage in Deep Blue Technology privately. Deep Blue MAX will become the swan song of Deep Blue Technology without any accident. .”

"Fortunately, I was one of the first to buy the dark blue MAX. If I buy it now, it will cost several hundred dollars more."

at the same time.

That's depressing.

The things about TSMC were really not their fault, but now they are asked to take the blame. Even if they clarify, no one will believe it.

However, they still issued an announcement.

[As for the folk rumors that our company ordered TSMC to stop manufacturing for Deep Blue Technology because it was unable to monitor Deep Blue MAX, our company has communicated with TSMC as soon as possible to understand.

TSMC did stop manufacturing chips for Deep Blue Technology, but it was due to insufficient production capacity that it was unable to OEM chips for Deep Blue Technology.

In addition, our company will not monitor any citizen’s calls.

All this is purely folk rumours. 】

Although Fu Bole explained it, the people don't think so. It's your own business to explain it, and it's our business to believe it or not.

Netizens also confirmed the fact that Deep Blue MAX has been discontinued through this piece of information.

Not long after the news from Verbol was released, the price of a second-hand Deep Blue MAX increased to US$1999. Second-hand dealers felt that the Deep Blue MAX might be discontinued at any time. If you want to buy it in 1999, the price will continue to rise.

December 2016, 5.

The news that TSMC stopped manufacturing for Deep Blue Technology was reported back to China that night.

Netizens also talked a lot after learning about this incident.

"Damn it, no wonder Deep Blue MAX stopped pre-sales last night. It turns out that TSMC is no longer OEM for Deep Blue Technology."

"Hey, that's how it is if we don't have our own lithography machine technology. Without our own manufacturing technology, we are always limited by others. This incident reminds me of how the United States destroyed the semiconductor industry in 1985. They planned to use Use the same method to bring down Deep Blue Technology.

Deep Blue Technology must hold on this time. "

"If their technology is not up to par, they will use such despicable methods to restrict their enemies. When will we be able to develop our own technology?"

"I think the TSMC incident is just the beginning. The next step should be to stop Deep Blue Technology's EDA software. Without the EDA software, Deep Blue will not be able to develop chips. These people are forcing Deep Blue Technology to use their chips."

“I don’t know if Deep Blue Technology can survive this difficulty this time.”

"Deep Blue Mobile took away the fruit phone market, and Deep Blue Auto caused Tesla's stock price to plummet. If they take action against Deep Blue Technology, these two companies they are proud of will go bankrupt."

"Can't we produce photolithography machines?"

"You think you can produce photolithography machines if you want to. Manufacturing photolithography machines is more difficult than manufacturing atomic bombs."

"Deep Blue Technology should still have some inventory in terms of chips. Everyone should be prepared to buy them as soon as possible. After the production is stopped, I don't know how long it will take to buy them, and I don't know when Deep Blue will be able to break through this limit."

Although netizens are very angry about this matter, they have nothing to do, and even insiders have nothing to do. After all, the core technology is in the hands of others.

Office of the President of Deep Blue Technology.

After Cao Mang came to the company, he called Qin Fengming to his office. There was a very important thing for her to do next.

There are still 3 months to go before the first phase of NIL nanoimprinting can be implemented. The first phase of NIL nanoimprinting can produce chips with a 65nm process. Deep Blue Technology needs to build its own wafer factory.

The best location for a wafer fab is near an industrial park.

Previously, Cao Mang installed so many solar power panels on the roof of the car factory that Deep Blue Motors' car factory could not use that much electricity. The excess power could be used to supply the wafer factory.

"Xiao Cao, what do you want from me?" Qin Fengming asked after pulling out the chair and sitting down.

Ever since Qin Fengming listened to Cao Mang's advice to form a secretarial team, her burden has been relieved a lot. She can also choose a suitable successor among these people, and she can let the successor take over after she retires in the future.

"Aunt Qin, I want to apply for another batch of land. The land area is about 5000 acres. It is best to connect the land to the industrial park. I plan to build a wafer factory to produce chips. Let them keep this matter confidential during the discussion." Cao Cao. Mang said. (End of chapter)
