Chapter 1777: Drink

When Fidel arrived in Los Angeles from Los Angeles after a dozen-hour flight, the night view of the city fascinated him. This place was once known as 'Paris of the East', but now Paris is dwarfed by it.
Out of the airport, someone came to pick it up. A fat man stepped forward and hugged Fidel. "Ah ... my dear friend, it's really nice to meet you. It's been a long time since I have met someone who can talk."
The fat man is Chuck, a former CIA employee who has done a lot of work and has a wide network of contacts and channels. He has engaged in certain prohibited smuggling activities in the magic all these years. Fidel contacted him because he wanted to use his network.
When the two got on the car, Fidel greeted him, "How are you doing?" Chuck waved his hand, shook his head and said, "It's terrible, it's terrible."
"I thought you were having a good time." Fidel only laughed when his friend was voicing.
But Chuck started the car and said seriously: "Fidel, I'm serious. My condition is terrible. Now I can only dance with the girl in the club every day, or brag about nothing. But I already No big business for more than a year.
Now I can only smuggle prohibited goods at Beibei, or try to find something good for Persians in the Middle East. But these are poor ghosts, they can't make me a lot of money. Oh, by the way, even the Persians haven't come to me recently, which makes me very upset. "
There is a blockade in this world, and some people smuggle for high profits. Chuck stayed in the magic city to find a way to sell non-sale goods from Europe, America, Japan and other countries to rabbits. But his business has fallen sharply in the past year because his biggest customers have abandoned him.
"I have tried every month to bring a few kilograms of high-grade carbon fiber to the rabbit government, but they have stopped buying from me two years ago." Chuck opened the box and complained.
"I bet that the satellites launched by Rabbit are all using carbon fiber you provided, and you've helped them a lot. The CIA should really put you in jail," Fidelno shouted.
"Yes, that's right." Chuck laughed a few times and hatefully cursed: "Don't know how to do it, the rabbit opened the channel for direct purchase from the foot basin 'Dongli' company. And 'Teijin' The company is the same. They buy hundreds of kilograms, even tons.
I secretly investigated that 'Toray' last year even killed two financial staff who tried to report the incident in order to cover up the fact that the company's performance was increasing. And in order to bleach their income, their top management also finds ways to launder money. Those made a profit that originally belonged to me. "
Chuck hated the steering wheel and Fidel asked, "No one reported it?"
"Yes, but they are all dead. Rabbit Guoan is protecting this smuggling line. One of my men was hacked to the streets of Tokyo for investigating the incident. The police in the foot basin said that he died in a gang dispute and I was frightened. Escaped the foot basin.
There must be a big secret here, but I dare not investigate further. If I mess up again, I will become a hunting target.
What's ridiculous about this is that the past blockade forced rabbits to develop their own carbon fiber. But now that rabbits can easily buy high-grade carbon fiber from the foot basin, the rabbit actually slowed down the technological development of the domestic carbon fiber industry. "
Chuck was grinning, but Fidel felt that the rabbit's penetration of the foot basin was getting deeper and deeper. He continued to ask, "Is there anything else? It's strange."
Chuck shrugged and sneered, "Weird? There are so many strange things. There are so many stories in my stomach. For example, rabbits have recently come up with an intelligent doctor, and there is something related to it.
The best lithography machine in the world is manufactured by ASML in the Netherlands. Because of the constraints of the Wassenaar agreement, rabbits couldn't buy the latest lithography machines to make chips. "
Fidel naturally understands the Wassenaar agreement. This is the continuation of the Batumi agreement that year, which is a targeted technical barrier. As long as the rabbit urgently needs, the signatories of the Wassenaar agreement will not sell. The more the enemy does not sell, the more the rabbit wants to buy.
In terms of lithography machines, Rabbit's approach is to cooperate with Belgian microelectronics research institute IMEC and purchase ASML lithography machines that they have used for five years. But five years behind in the semiconductor field, two or three generations.
"Do you know? This business is very good. The Belgians are happy to die. They easily make a lot of money. But last year, the rabbit chip maker stopped buying Belgian used goods."
It's an interesting story, and Fidel listened to it. The moment Chuck paused, he asked, "Rabbit's technology broke through?"
Every time the rabbit's technology breaks a little bit forward, the Wassenaar agreement changes slightly. For example, on the lithography machine, when Modu Optoelectronics developed an 180-nanometer process, the Wassenaar protocol stuck at 90-nm. When you get to 90 nanometers, it gets stuck at 60 nanometers.
But this time ... Chuck shook his head and said, "It's not as simple as a technological breakthrough, it's a flyby. The Belgians originally thought that rabbits had broken through the technology, and wanted to lower the blockade standard and sell the old models.
But the rabbit directly said that they don't need anything, not even the latest ten-nanometer lithography machine. The Belgian Tun's goods were all in their hands, and they furiously asked the Wassenaar Commission to investigate the matter, wondering who provided the rabbit with equipment behind it, causing them to lose money.
The investigation results are that no one sells. Does anyone know what exactly happened? The Belgians did not sell the lithography machine in their hands, and the rabbits did not negotiate at all, just one word-no.
At this time, the rabbit announced that it would skip the current mainstream 14 nanometers, 10 nanometers or even 5 nanometers, and directly launch the three nanometer lithography process. They claim that a new fab is under construction and are said to be ready for production in two years. "
Fidel has been in trouble for the past two years, but he did not pay attention to news such as lithography machines. But he also knows that semiconductors are few rabbits that have not stood in the first-class industry, and the lithography technology is behind the world's advanced level by more than ten years.
Among the rabbit imports every year, mid-to-high-end chips are the largest amount. If this thing is caught up with or even surpassed by the rabbit, the fun will be great. The geopolitical landscape has to be shuffled.
Every country in the world can do anything like rabbits. In fact, rabbits can do anything.
Some countries and regions rely on a certain industry to feed their citizens. For example, booger countries rely on shipping to drive finance ~ EbookFREE.me ~ such as South Korea depends on semiconductors and shipbuilding power, such as a certain island in the southeast relying on semiconductors and ..., the fraud industry is mixed.
If rabbits break through the industrial chain of chip manufacturing, it is not a matter of occupying the domestic market, but it is bound to dump on a large scale. Many countries and regions can't be mixed up-still want to be lucky? Damn it!
Just arrived at Modu, all investigations were started without a start. Fidel realized that the situation described by Chuck was extremely serious, "Is the news reliable?"
Chuck shook his head: "There are all kinds of unconfirmed news on the rabbit side, and it is not clear whether they really overflew in chip manufacturing technology. The new fab did not even reveal the specific location. .
However, Belgian second-hand lithography machines can no longer be sold, which is true. This situation has even implicated the Dutch ASML, and all countries in the entire semiconductor industry are worried. "
Chuck said it could not be confirmed, but there was already a lot of indirect evidence. Fidel didn't expect to face such a bad situation as soon as he landed. It looks like there are still many "surprises" waiting for him.
God, why did you create the eagle sauce, but still keep the rabbit to make trouble?
