The black technology empire started with a debt of one billion

A strange thing in the stock market caught the attention of investors.

This strange flower is Best Buy whose goods were seized by customs. Although Best Buy's goods were seized by customs, Best Buy's stock price did not fall. Best Buy's stock price bucked the trend and turned green. This situation makes American stock investors confused. .

"The goods from Best Buy have been seized. Why is Best Buy's stock price still rising? Is it because the stock market has taken the wrong medicine or is it a display error?"

"It's an error. Go check out Best Buy's official website. The sales of the new Deep Blue phone in Europe and the United States exceed 400 million. You know what 400 million means. Even if Best Buy is detained, it will still make a lot of money."

Moreover, the seizure of goods is not confiscation. The goods will be released after some operations, and then they can be sold to other countries.

This seizure of goods will not affect Best Buy's profits at all. "

"That's right, now China has taken out the 7-nanometer lithography machine again. If the United States wants to get the 7-nanometer lithography machine, it has to compromise with China. If they don't compromise, they won't sell the equipment to us at all.

We can’t wait for AMSL to develop a 7-nanometer lithography machine, but AMSL doesn’t even know how many years it will take to develop it.

By the time they develop it, they have already launched the next generation of products. "

"Old Huangmao's operation this time is really stealing the chicken but losing the rice."

"We are all facing a disaster. I don't know what you are happy about. When DeepBlue developed the memory chip, Micron Memory was on the verge of bankruptcy. In order to survive, Micron laid off more than 3000 people at once. Our market was taken away by the Chinese who lost their jobs. There will be more.

You have no idea how serious the consequences will be if China is ahead of us in technology. "

"I originally worked at Synopsys. Because Deep Blue Technology launched Orion, the three major companies immediately laid off employees after the merger. I am still looking for a job. If I go to work, my house will be taken away by the bank. You have no idea how serious the rise of China is. sex.

If you still want to live a good life and collectively boycott Deep Blue, only if our companies make money by boycotting Deep Blue can they create more jobs. Otherwise, you will definitely be laid off like us in the future. "

"Our company's cars can't be sold at all now. I heard that the company is planning to lay off employees. All this is caused by Deep Blue Technology."

No one expected that when everyone was discussing Best Buy, the building turned upside down, and a large number of statements about the dangers of Deep Blue technology appeared. Not only among stock market investors, but also on the Internet.

Moreover, these harmful theories are not only appearing on the American Internet. The entire European and American Internet is full of the same remarks.

Best Buy headquarters.

When Hubert Joly was looking at the backend data with great pride, Mirabelle Carr opened the office door.

"What's the matter?" asked Hubert Joly.

Could it be that little baby Hubert Joly missed his milk again, but he couldn't help himself now.

"Boss, there are a lot of theories about the dangers of Deep Blue technology on the Internet, and information related to Deep Blue's new products has been deleted. There are a lot of chargebacks on our official website." Mirabelle Carl said with an anxious expression.

"I didn't expect these guys to engage in public opinion warfare." Hubert Joly said with a frown.

Hubert Joly also didn't expect that these people couldn't do it technically, and they actually planned to influence Deep Blue Technology through public opinion.

It is definitely not feasible to fight back through public opinion, because all media are controlled by the Mutual Aid Foundation, and it is estimated that relevant remarks will be deleted by administrators as soon as they are posted online.

"Boss, what should we do next?" Mirabelle Carl asked.

"There is an old saying in China that the aroma of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley. Deep Blue's customer service targets high-end users. These high-end users are intellectuals. They will not be easily affected by these remarks. We don't have to do anything. We just need to take our time and take a look. .

Product sales will definitely pass after the remarks pass. ” said Hubert Jolly.

At this moment, the dark blue MAX2 placed on the table by Hubert Jolly rang.

[Caller: Congressman Hunter]

"Good morning, Congressman Hunter." Hubert Jolly smiled after answering the phone.

Then Hubert Jolly waved his hand and signaled Mirabelle Carr to leave the office. He did not want the third person to hear his call to the other party, and Mirabelle Carr also left the office very wisely.

"Old Huangmao's think tank just called me. There is no problem for Deep Blue's products to be sold in the United States, but the satellite function must be blocked. As long as it is blocked, it can be sold in the United States.

The shielding they want is complete shielding. Don't mess around. The satellite chips must be removed. "Hunter Rogers said.

"I will communicate this matter with Deep Blue properly," Hubert Jolly said.

"Call me back when you have the results." Hunter Rogers said.

"Okay, Senator Hunter," said Hubert Jolly.

After hanging up Hunter Rogers' call, Hubert Joly immediately called Cao Mang. At this time, Cao Mang was sitting in the corridor playing Genesis, but Cao Mang also answered the other party's call immediately.

"Mr. Hubert, what's the matter?" Cao Mang asked.

"Old Huang Mao from the Little Black Room agreed that Deep Blue's products are sold in the United States, but they require Deep Blue's products to remove satellite chips." Hubert Joly said.

"Mr. Hubert, it is very troublesome to disassemble the Deep Blue mobile phone this time. The water cooling system will be damaged after disassembly, and I do not plan to disassemble the satellite chip. Once disassembled, customers will not be able to enjoy the satellite function when they go abroad. When the customer says Our phone does not support satellite.

Isn't this equivalent to deceiving American consumers? If the United States does not let you pass the test, you will sell your mobile phones to other countries.

If American customers want to buy, let them buy in other countries.

If you think about it, it can be purchased in other countries, but not in the United States. What will the American people think? "Cao Mang laughed.

After hearing Cao Mang's words, Hubert Jolly felt that it was the same thing, but Hubert Jolly still wanted to do business in the United States. After all, the United States was one of the largest markets in Europe and the United States.

"Then can you provide a special edition for the United States, a special edition that does not support satellite communications?" Hubert Joly asked.

"If you have demand, I can provide a special version, but the supply of the special version will take a long time. It will not be available until two months later. In order to meet the needs of Europe and the United States, we have given all the goods to you. Now China's orders have reached 300 There are over [-] units, so I can’t delay supplying them locally.

Moreover, the demand in Asia and the Middle East is also quite large. We released 300 million units to the Middle East, but they were sold out in one day. "Cao Mang said.

"It shouldn't be a problem to wait two months. I can conduct pre-sales online to test the situation of consumers." Hubert Jolly said helplessly after thinking about it.

Nowadays, DeepBlue’s mobile phones are all produced by Foxconn factories. In order to provide enough DeepBlue mobile phones to the market, DeepBlue has stopped production of all Deep Blue TVs. Many customers who want to buy DeepBlue TV cannot.   Had it not been for Deep Blue Technology licensing naked-eye 3D technology to other home appliance manufacturers, domestic consumers would have already started to quarrel.

"But you must explain to consumers when selling that the special edition for America does not have satellite function." Cao Mang said.

"Mr. Cao, please rest assured, I don't want to be sued collectively by consumers." Hubert Joly said.

Microsoft headquarters.

Brad Smith has returned to Microsoft headquarters at this time.

He already knew about the Pegasus system and asked technicians to evaluate the Pegasus. After some testing, they quickly came to a conclusion.

"Boss, although we have no way to crack the Pegasus system kernel, we already have a certain understanding of its situation. This Pegasus system is even better than we imagined. Whether it is running speed or memory management, the Pegasus system The Pegasus system is better than our Windows system.

Within half a year we will lose more than 80% of the Chinese market.

As for other markets, it depends on the promotion efforts of Deep Blue Technology. The Pegasus system was quietly launched by Deep Blue Technology. They should not attack overseas markets in the short term.

But one thing is for sure, Pegasus will be our biggest enemy.

If we want to keep Microsoft's market, we must unite with the Semiconductor Association to suppress Deep Blue.

But I think the Semiconductor Association will not agree to our request. After all, they still want to use Deep Blue Technology’s Pegasus. The only way we can do now is to help the Semiconductor Association get rid of Pegasus first.

I suggest that we cooperate with Motu to help them develop EDA software. ” said Steven Sinofsky.

They can't help with the hardware aspect, but they are good at the software aspect, so the think tank proposed to accelerate the improvement of new EDA. Only the new EDA can compete with Deep Blue.

As for the hardware, we can only wait for AMSL to carry out technical iterations and updates.

"Contact the CEO of Motu and tell us that we want to cooperate with them for joint development." Brad Smith said.

It is meaningless to question Cao Mang or fall out with Deep Blue Technology at this time. If they fall out with Deep Blue Technology at this time, then the ARM version of Windows will probably be finished. Without Deep Blue Technology's compiler, the application of arm will take a long time. Time to fill.

At the same time, think tanks from major companies quickly came to a conclusion.

In this situation, it is impossible to rely on suppression to deal with Deep Blue Technology.

The only way is to join forces to promote the development of technology, first let semiconductor companies get rid of the restrictions of Orion, and then wait for AMSL to develop new lithography machines. Only then will it be effective to suppress Deep Blue.

Although Deep Blue Technology cannot be completely killed, it can be restricted to China.

Two o'clock in the afternoon in the United States.

The stock market, which was still falling, suddenly rebounded, and it rebounded sharply. Some stocks even pulled back all their losses.

"What's going on now? It fell so hard in the morning, and now it's rebounded so much."

"Brother, you don't even turn on the news when you're trading stocks. Hurry up and turn on the news. You can't lose money by trading stocks like you."

"It should be that Motu Technology just issued an announcement that caused the stock to rebound. However, I personally feel that this rebound is only temporary. It is still very difficult to compete with China with such a backward technology."

"I don't believe that all the manufacturers in the United States can't defeat Deep Blue Technology."

The information mentioned by netizens is Motu Technology’s announcement to jointly establish a laboratory with Intel, AMD, NVIDIA, Google, and Microsoft to develop the next generation EDA.

However, this information was only announced on stock software and online. Motu did not hold a press conference to announce this matter.

at the same time.

Best Buy also released an announcement on its official website.

[Due to the requirements of the security department, our company has reached an agreement with the security department. Best Buy will continue to provide you with Deep Blue electronic products. However, Deep Blue's new products will remove the satellite communication function. We will conduct pre-sales at the same time as the announcement is released. .

Users in need can go to Best Buy's official website to order, and the ordered products will be shipped two months later. (This announcement is only valid for the United States)]

Netizens also talked a lot after seeing this message.

"This is because we are afraid that everyone using satellite calls will not be monitored by them, so they restrict our use of satellite functions. The matter of Ferber monitoring mobile phones seems to be real."

"It will take two months before the goods arrive after pre-ordering. I might as well fly to another country to buy it. The phone I bought will also support satellite functions."

“I don’t know if you have noticed that, except for the Douyin platform, information on other platforms has been removed. This is obviously an attempt to suppress Deep Blue.”

"I just want to say good job. Kill Deep Blue quickly. If we kill Deep Blue, our company will rise and we won't have to worry about finding a job anymore."

"I don't think it's useful to restrict Deep Blue's technology. It's not like they haven't restricted it before. Restricting Deep Blue will only make them more powerful. It's better to focus on research and development of technology. If you can't beat Deep Blue, you can't forcefully feed us shit."

It's half past five in the afternoon.

Best Buy headquarters.

Hubert Joly felt a little headache looking at the number of reservations on the dark blue mobile phone.

From two o'clock to now, the three new mobile phone products of Deep Blue Technology have been booked, which adds up to only a few hundred thousand units.

There are only tens of thousands of Deep Blue's third-generation notebooks pre-ordered. This sales volume is very bleak for Best Buy. You must know that Deep Blue has many stores in the United States. If this is the only sales volume, there is no need to open a Deep Blue store.

Even if the sales of products such as smart speakers and home appliances are included, the revenue and expenditure of the specialty stores will be flat at best.

For Best Buy, there is no need to keep a store that is flat.

However, Hubert Jolly still wants to wait until the special version of the mobile phone arrives. If the special version sells well, these specialty stores will continue to open. If the sales of the special version are not good, he can only make the choice to close the store. . (End of chapter)
