Chapter 727: The Years Under the Lies Are Quiet (4k)
Daxia has the largest manufacturing share in the world and has vigorously cultivated several special circles, and has achieved a leap from low to medium and high in just over twenty years.
Although the world is cultivating new markets, every increase in high-tech product share in Daxia is a challenge to those monopoly giants. This challenge has been aggravated since Daxia has independent high-end semiconductor chip design, and its manufacturing technology has begun to worsen.
Especially when semiconductors and military confronted several fields, Western enterprises and military-industrial complexes did not gain any advantage, and the overlords who were unwilling to admit defeat naturally turned their attention to other fields.
First of all, some Asano was clamoring randomly. Secondly, some river crab smoke began to occur from time to time in large oil-producing areas such as the Middle East. Under the influence of capital and the environment, large amounts of funds began to avoid risks, and traditional oil energy, new energy, rare metals and other sectors began to fluctuate.
A gunshot.
According to media reports: On May 8, Houthi forces attacked Saudi oil refineries and other oil facilities.
On the evening of May 8, the Houthi armed forces announced that they would unilaterally stop attacking Saudi military targets and on the battlefield. They also mentioned that if the Yemen can also stop the confrontation, the two sides may reach a permanent ceasefire.
As soon as this news came out, global fluctuations were volatile.
Concerns about energy supply in the global market have intensified, and U.S. capital companies have also begun to impose crude oil embargoes on some major oil-producing countries. International oil prices have risen by more than 10% in just one day.
Faced with the rising oil prices, many Guo Jia tried to contact the relevant Guo Jia forces in the Middle East to solve the energy problem, but were rejected.
Uncle Sam was even more concerned and called Saudi Arabia and UAE respectively as soon as possible, hoping that the two countries could increase oil production and balance the market.
However, it seems that after using the face fruit too many times, it has a fatigue effect, and both phone calls were rejected.
The user you call is temporarily unable to access, which makes the communication technology of the 21st century still as "unstable" as the last century.
An Uncle Sam government official said that Uncle Sam had high expectations for this call. After all, under the auspices of Jiangying, several parties could sit down and have a good talk and stabilize the oil market, which would be of great benefit to everyone.
But unexpectedly, the routine that once tried and tried was now rejected.
Not only that, this time, the big players were like "having a leopard's courage". They watched the international news and could not reply, and they also held a press conference to express that they would not easily change the established plan.
Some media believe that the reason why big players say no so decisively may be because Ying Jiang has recently been preparing to restart the Iran nuclear agreement and wants to win over Iran to allow its oil and energy to enter the global market. This decision has harmed the interests of big players.
Of course, there were also tabloid media secretly reporting an old news, that is, a few years ago, Uncle Sam once claimed to turn big families into "untouchables" in the international community.
Uncle Sam didn't expect that this time he wanted to do some operations and seize the currency and energy in his hands and arrange the stocks well, but he encountered such a thing.
Just as the media were interpreting the current international situation and oil and energy, a few days ago, a group of big deals who were spending a lot of money talked about a shocking event in Yanjing, Daxia.
The big household and Daxia suddenly announced that they had reached a cooperation and would develop and build a large oil refining facility in Liaojin, Daxia.
Huaxia Petrochemical also proved the news and issued a statement saying that it had signed a memorandum of understanding with major companies, and that the two parties will strengthen cooperation in projects such as refining and chemicals.
According to Reuters, the two companies are preparing to develop a large comprehensive refinery and petrochemical plant. Large companies will provide up to 210,000 barrels of crude oil raw materials every day, and the refinery project can carry a daily load of 300,000 barrels. The project is expected to be put into operation in 2024.
Senior Vice President of Downstream Business of Dahumet Enterprise said: "This cooperation with Daxia will further promote the integration and expansion of our downstream business in Asia, and meet its growing energy needs by providing low-carbon crude oil to Daxia."
When the Mao Bear media noticed this incident, they immediately posted a message to recount Uncle Sam's embarrassment of being neglected, and asked Uncle Sam who was asked to "Who is the Untouchable" in the big business?
European countries have stood up and called for a peaceful solution to the problem. Energy belongs to the world and environmental protection belongs to everyone.
Then some experts said that many European countries have secretly increased their oil purchase share, even if they increase their money, they will spare no expense.
Some scholars in international relations pointed out that in the new international environment, Ying Jiang's various measures taken by Daxia enterprises have overdrawn their credibility, and other companies and Guo Jia institutions have begun to re-evaluate their relationship with Uncle Sam.
The Crown Prince of the Great Man said in an interview: "Uncle Sam is our strategic partner, but we are strengthening our cooperation with other countries such as Daxia and Maoxiong.
At present, Daxia's oil is growing every year, so in the next 50 years or even longer, we will still regard ensuring Daxia's energy security as our top priority."
It can be seen that the previous series of shutdowns touched many companies and capital. This time, the drama of controlling energy to control the world is hard to sing.
However, before Uncle Sam could sleep well, on May 10, Maobei Oil Company announced that a large oil deposit was found in the Bochaola Sea, with resource reserves equivalent to 82 million tons of oil. The discovery was due to oil drilling activities in the Medinskovalandeski region.
Maobei Oil Company noted that the discovery proved “the enormous oil potential of the Timano-Berchona region, which will serve as the basis for the company to continue researching and developing the region.”
This news shocked international oil prices even more.
Of course, it was not that oil prices soared, but that it began to shrink from the surge, and some funds flowing into North America began to slowly flow back.
After all, polar bears do not have weapons of mass destruction, and there are no penguins that need animal rights protection.
All the capital, institutions and retail investors who make money in the US stock market have also found that the "Twilight of Ragnarok" advocated by those small media seems to have begun to take place.
Although I don’t know if it was Ragnarok, there was indeed a good show being performed on stage.
Daxia carbon-based chips are rapidly replacing the former silicon-based chips. So will the previous high-performance silicon-based chip production lines and factory buildings be used?
The answer is of course not.
The demand for 80nm chips on the enterprise side has always been quite strong. Now Daxia semiconductor companies are like peerless masters who practice a peerless swordsmanship but have nowhere to use them, so they simply use two tricks to make their own sense.
All companies and institutions in the international market that need to use chips have ushered in a dream moment when chips are "free".
Since the chips provided by Daxia Semiconductor companies are really good and cheap, and can even directly provide a series of projects from design to production, packaging, and assembly of processors, many international manufacturing giants, car companies, household appliances, industrial machines and other companies have placed orders on Daxia Semiconductor.
Stock investors and institutions are naturally not fools.
On May 11, local time in North America, the stock price of TSMC, the former leader in wafer foundry, fell rapidly after opening, and finally closed down 5.81%, closing at US$77 per share, with a market value of US$399.3 billion. Compared with the high price of US$145 per share in January this year, TSMC's market value has shrunk by US$350 billion.
In addition to TSMC, semiconductor stocks such as Asmay, Ram Research, Kelei, and Applied Materials (amat) have also plunged.
According to incomplete statistics, a total of 500 billion US dollars of exchanges in major institutions in North America on that day.
In this environment where the market is about to collapse, as the "mainstagram" in the electronic consumer goods market, the smartphone industry has also begun to show signs of decadence.
According to a report by an authoritative organization, global smartphone shipments will decrease to 1 billion units in 2023, a year-on-year decline of 8.5%.
In this turbulent situation in May this year, there is news that Daxia's three largest mobile phone manufacturers, Dapo and Vio, have notified suppliers that the supply volume from April to June 2023 will be reduced by about 250% compared with the previous plan.
In addition, according to Reuters, TSMC has started mass production of Apple's iPhone 14 series, but the target of shipment of the first batch of 90 million units has been cut by 30%.
It rained all night long.
In May, the order anxiety of TSMC and other companies using Western semiconductor technology suddenly spread from the mobile phone industry to PC, home appliances and other fields.
In the first quarter of 2023, according to a survey by authoritative institutions, the global computer market fell by 6.6%. At the same time, almost all first-tier PC brands have begun to lower their annual shipment targets recently. Some people think that HP, Acer, and Asus are among them, and even the shipment targets of some computer manufacturers have dropped by two-digit percentages.
According to a report by market organization analysts, global semiconductors will usher in a cold winter due to the decline of the "mining" boom and the "vicious competition" between Daxia Jiuzhou Technology and Xiawei and other companies, and the sharp drop in market demand and industry corporate profits.
The impact of this report is a sensational wave in the stock market.
Media reporters are like sharks smelling blood, targeting the semiconductor industry and starting to report crazy.
"TSMC's market value plummeted, but its new job turnover rate exceeded 20.6% last year, hitting a five-year high"
According to Ryukyu media reports, a report released by TSMC on May 10 showed that last year, the turnover rate of all employees of TSMC was 9.8%, and the turnover rate of new employees was 20.6%, both of which hit five-year highs. South Korean stars, the major semiconductor manufacturers, also had a turnover rate that was not much different from Intel.
As soon as this news came out, it also caused heated discussion among netizens, questioning why a million-dollar annual salary could not retain talents. One of the internal employees personally revealed the secrets of work online and admitted that he was once under great pressure, "I go to worship the statue of God before going to work every day."
He then took his own situation as an example, "My cmp (chemical machinery flattening) is already considered to be not too tired in the four major processes, but the products of Daxia semiconductor companies have caused our company's orders to begin to decline year by year, and in recent years it has become more and more excessive year by year!
The long-term past has led me to be very depressed every night, and I even doubt how many years TSMC can last.
If any juniors want to enter this major, it is recommended to apply for schools in Daxia Mainland, their skills are far beyond ours."
Some colleagues also express similar feelings of grievance.
"I haven't had a vacation for three months, just because the supervisor needs us to develop a new generation of high-performance processors that can match the Titan processor..."
"I have met companies that have been working overtime since September last year, and night shifts are common."
"Normal people can't stand this kind of stress and no holiday job, let alone wearing a full set of isolation suits to enter the laboratory, it's too hard to make money..."
"I feel like there is a vicious cycle inside. Every elderly person has a daughter-in-law and becomes a mother-in-law mentality. But will Jiuzhou Technology give us a chance to retire? We should enter the Daxia Semiconductor Alliance as soon as possible. After all, we are also a family, okay."
The semiconductor industry in Ryukyu Province is in chaos in the midst of storms.
Neon, who was forced to donate blood crazily recently, has been even more miserable.
Ministers and corporate chaebols who once took out trillions of yen to make Neon Semiconductor overtake are no longer willing to mention this sad past.
Due to semiconductors and the two pillar industries of automobiles were "taken away" by Daxia companies, and they were sucked by blood crazily.
Neon prices began to soar.
According to Reuters on May 10, neon food prices have soared in recent months, causing trouble for Tokyo schools’ kitchens, where a school has been forced to exchange fresh fruits from recipes for jelly or other foods.
At the same time, according to Kyodo News, the trend of neon inflation is still continuing, the yen depreciates and prices soar. Inflation in neon is becoming an increasingly political-political problem.
Prices have risen sharply, and many households are feeling the pressure. As crude oil and food prices rise, the Consumer Price Index rose 3.1% year-on-year for two consecutive months in April and May 2023. This is a significant increase in the past decade.
The most important thing is that the consumer price index is rising, but people's wages are falling, and the economic burden of many families is increasing.
Nowadays, a can of 18-liter cooking oil is sold at 1,750 yen more than a year ago, while the prices of vegetables and fruits have doubled.
Akihabara, which was noticed several months ago, gradually changed from a 2D holy land to a custom street due to economic downturn. After "rectification", it was not only not solved, but instead became more and more intense.
The maid who went out to pick up guests started working part-time for a day. She was no longer reserved in her cool underground idols, and she took sex-sensory photos every day.
Even for many gray projects, they have gradually moved from physical stores to the Internet and started Internet solutions.
Countless men who are frustrated in the workplace and even fired by the club will not only go to the bar to spend their days, but also choose to order a good and cheap girlfriend on the Internet through video selection, go to the river to relax and fish.
At night, I had to pretend to be exhausted and go home, and give the fish I caught to my wife who is taking care of the children full-time, and said happily: "This is a gift from the customer. Emiri, let's eat fish tomorrow~"
And the housewife who had just finished her "hard and part-time job" during the day would say with joy: "Wow, Asashi, husband, you are so great. I will make you tofu fish soup tomorrow."
