Chapter 202 Feeling Alright Again
Ryden in the White House looked livid. This period was the darkest few days since he entered politics, full of abuse and insults!
"NASA received a letter of termination of the agreement from the European Space Agency. They have suspended further space cooperation with us." Vice President Merlin said to Ryden in a heavy voice.
Just a few days after receiving him, something like this happened, which is definitely not a good thing for Ryden!
"Asshole, if they dare to mess around, we will withdraw our troops and let them defend the expansion of the Russian Bear!" Ryden said with a sinister expression.
Europe does not have its own complete defense system, and to their north is the powerful Russian bear. If they do not want to be gradually cannibalized and annexed, they must rely on the United States!
Regardless of whether this demand is a real demand or a demand created by them!
"They themselves are aware of this reality. Therefore, in view of the current situation, cooperation is suspended. We will continue to observe whether we will cooperate in the future," Vice President Merlin said.
"Then continue to give them some color. Go and tease them and make the area more active."
"When peace lasts for a long time, it's easy to forget our protection."
"This time, we have lost a lot of money in the aerospace field, and we must make it back in other products!
What’s going on with Intel’s chip products?”
"They have now obtained 80 photolithography machines from the Dragon Kingdom, and the 2-nanometer chips have entered the market. At the same time, the 2-nanometer chips from the H country are also being rapidly produced. The Japanese country has not purchased the photolithography machines and is temporarily unable to produce them.
2nm chip.”
"Haha... Seeing small profits and forgetting the righteousness! People like Long Guo don't even have their own chips in order to sell lithography machines. Why don't they have to be choked by us! From now on, we will increase the selling price of chips, especially for Long.
Country, let them spit out the money they earned!" Raiden said to Merlin.
"Will this cause a backlash?"
"So what if there's a rebound? We have the economic big stick in our hands! So what if there's a rebound? The only thing to blame is that they don't have the ability to develop 2-nanometer chips!"
"Now, we are going to push up the market and push up the prices in the industrial chain."
In the afternoon, with some manipulation by Wall Street, the entire semiconductor industry saw a huge improvement! Many prices are rising crazily!
At the same time, news of chip shortages began to spread again!
"How's the effect?" Ryden couldn't help but ask with a smile on his face when he saw the plate he made!
"Market panic has formed! There is a shortage of 2-nanometer chips, and the price of 2-nanometer chips is also growing rapidly. Orders from India, the European Union, Canada, and the Kangaroo Country are all coming in like flakes! Now, Intel's sales are soaring."
"Hahaha..." Raiden had a look of surprise on his face!
This is the best news I have heard recently!
"How are the orders from Dragon Kingdom?" This is the question he is most concerned about.
Merlin's face looked a little unnatural: "The Dragon Kingdom is very calm this time. So far, no order has been issued."
"What? There's not a single order? What's going on?" Ryden looked incredulous!
"They should be the biggest buyer. How could there not be a single order? What I want to make most now is their money!"
Soon, the secretary came in from outside!
"Mr. President, it's bad! Longguo announced that they have conquered the 1-nanometer chip manufacturing process and have mass-produced them. Now they are all in stock! The price is slightly higher than our 2-nanometer chips, but the performance is ours.
Twice that of the chip! In terms of energy consumption, it has been reduced by 50%!" Secretary Lewinsky walked in hurriedly and said to Ryden out of breath.
"What? Dragon Kingdom has broken through the 1-nanometer chip? Asshole! Do you believe this ridiculous rumor?" Ryden picked up the pen on the table and threw it at Lewinsky!
"Mr. President, these are all true! Not only that, they held new product launch conferences at the same time in Dragon Country, Europe and our Silicon Valley! And they issued test reports on performance and power consumption! It's absolutely true!
" Lewinsky explained again to Ryden.
Raiden turned pale instantly!
At this moment, it was like the sky was falling!
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! It is impossible for the Dragon Kingdom to progress so fast, it is impossible to break through the 1-nanometer chip so quickly! Even we have not made a breakthrough, and neither H Country nor Japanese Semiconductor Company has made a breakthrough. How could they possibly be able to break through this 1-nanometer chip?
Chip manufacturing!
Rumor! It must be a rumor!" Ryden stared blankly ahead!
"Mr. President, this time it should be true. News has just come from Silicon Valley that Longguo's chips are indeed much more powerful than existing chips!" Merlin added.
"What should we do with our chip exports? What should we do with our own chips? Every year, Longguo imports more than 500 billion yuan of chip products from us! How many jobs will it provide us, how much tax revenue will it provide us, and how many military products will we have to sell?
, to earn so much? Now, it’s all gone? Tell me what to do? What should we do?” Raiden said with dull eyes.
At this moment, he was a little panicked!
How could he accept that a highly profitable industry, something that was like a cash cow, was suddenly gone?
Everyone nearby could not help but feel sad, but then Vice President Merlin comforted Ryden:
"Mr. President, don't be sad. In addition to chips, we also have military industry, oil, cars, medicine, testing equipment, military bases in various places, and our rice dollar. These are all
This is our advantage! Our fundamentals are still solid and there will be no problems. Next, we just need to stick to these and we will be safe."
After hearing Mei Lin's words, Raiden's expression gradually improved.
"Yes, yes, you are right. We still have oil, the rice dollar, cars, medicine, military weapons, military bases around the world, and powerful aircraft carriers. The Pacific is our backyard.
, we are guarding the chokepoints all over the world. But they can’t even get out of the sea in front of their own home. We still have a lot of room!” Thinking of this, Ryden seemed to have found a powerful feeling again!
"Yes, energy, economy, and high-end manufacturing are all in the hands of us or our allies. So what if they break through the chip? They still can't make any waves, so there is no need to worry at all." Merlin said.
Chapter completed!
