Adrian, who was sitting at the front seat, stood up directly and slammed the table.
"This is impossible. Now only Asmai in the world has the ability to produce complete low-nanometer lithography machines!"
Adrian's words immediately brought everyone back to their senses.
Yes, Raimundo must be exaggerating.
Globally, no country has the ability to complete the production of a complete set of photolithography machines, except Asmai, which has the ability to produce!
If the Dragon Kingdom does not trade with the United States, it means that the supply of chips will be cut off!
They don't believe that Dragon Kingdom dares to take such a risk. No one will underestimate the consequences of cutting off the supply of chips, especially a country with a large population like Dragon Kingdom!
"Yes, Minister Raimondo, are you kidding me? How could Long Country have the guts to fall out with our country, the United States? Unless they don't want chips, domestic companies will have no hope of survival."
"I bet that with the timid and cowardly character of the people of the Dragon Kingdom, they will never dare to cancel the contract. There is a high probability that they are just scaring us."
"Everyone, let Minister Raimundo explain what's going on, right?"
Lei Mengduo looked a little ridiculous when he looked at everyone, but he didn't think so at the time.
So she chose to tell everything that happened in the Dragon Kingdom in detail without any concealment.
Finally, I emphasize again:
"I must tell you all seriously that after I made my request, Long Guo didn't even make any move to negotiate, and directly rejected my request for cooperation the second time!"
"Everyone has been dealing with the Dragon Kingdom for more than a day or two. You should understand that once they make a decision, they will never look back. For example, fifty years ago, it only took them two years to catch up with our seven years of research. Results!"
After speaking, Raimondo sat down quietly and handed over the rest of the discussion to others.
Everyone looked at each other, somewhat silent.
Since Raimundo said this, I guess it was not a joke.
Besides, no one would be stupid enough to joke about something like this.
But this brings the topic back to its original point.
Why does Long Guo dare to do this?
Have they contacted other chip supply channels?
Adrian rubbed his eyebrows, looking a little anxious.
They, the United States, are not only concerned about the losses caused by the incident itself.
It’s the message released behind this incident!
It is impossible for the Dragon Kingdom to dig its own grave, so there is only one possibility!
That is, they are confident that they will no longer rely on the United States for chip supply!
If this is the case, it would be terrible news for the United States.
Is it the ghosts in the alliance or the dragon country itself that has made a technological breakthrough?
"Everyone, what do you think about Minister Raimundo's statement?"
At that point a House member cleared his throat.
"With all due respect, since Longguo dares to reject our chip order so arrogantly, it must have a plan to deal with it. I suggest that on one side, the alliance conducts self-examination to prevent anyone from privately reaching a deal with Longguo, and on the other... The intensity of the blockade and sanctions!”
When the others heard this, they talked among themselves for a while, and then several other members began to speak.
"Self-examination must be carried out, but blockade and sanctions must also be carried out simultaneously. But what should we use to block it?"
"Currently we are implementing blockades in cutting-edge precision manufacturing, high-performance computing technology, artificial intelligence, biomedicine, etc. If we continue, will it cause bad voices internationally?"
"Haha, you are pedantic. Only the victors can write history. Who dares to speak up about the international status of our country? Besides, they have already begun to block technology and impose sanctions on the Dragon Kingdom. Then we should go to the end and completely defeat the Dragon Kingdom!"
"I agree with the sanctions. The Dragon Kingdom is trampling on our dignity by doing this. If there are no countermeasures, other countries will want to follow the Dragon Kingdom in the future!"
"Yes, this matter has risen to the level of an issue concerning the dignity of our country!"
Just like this, everyone just said something to each other, and everyone directly set the tone!
We must counter the Dragon Kingdom and carry out a new round of technological blockade!
Because Longguo not only rejected their good intentions, but also tried to disrupt the international market!
As for how to get involved in disrupting the international market?
Everyone buys goods from the United States, but if you, the Dragon Country, don’t buy, isn’t that disrupting the market?
Robbers never use logic to the weak!
After the tone is set, the next step is the issue of means.
Lei Mengduo looked at everyone and suggested.
"I think we should immediately stop using all the high-end equipment rented to Longguo and related to the production of photolithography machines, and directly lock all the machines. The reason is that it violates the contract usage agreement, and it needs to be investigated before it can be restored!"
"On the one hand, we can test the reaction of the Dragon Kingdom. If we can force out their trump card, we can also carry out the next step of sanctions!"
Adrian's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but look at Raimondo with admiration.
It is indeed no ordinary thing to be able to sit in the position of Minister of Commerce.
This move directly interrupted the existing chip manufacturing in Dragon Kingdom.
The whole world knows that Longguo is conquering the 14nm lithography machine technology, and before that, Longguo already has the 28nm chip production level.
But many of these machines rely on imported equipment.
In other words, if these machines and equipment are now directly locked remotely, Longguo will have difficulty maintaining the supply of even 28-nanometer chips!
This time it not only targets the cutting-edge low-nanometer market, but also combats the blockade of the mid-range chip market!
Lei Mengduo was already looking forward to the time when the Dragon Kingdom would seek peace!
Isn’t your Dragon Kingdom awesome?
Don't buy chips from our country, the United States.
Okay, then don’t use it!
The United States unilaterally breaks the contract and locks all your imported machines remotely for any reason!
Just with your own production line in Longguo, you can't even produce 28 nanometers. I wonder how your domestic enterprise manufacturing industry can survive!
Adrian saw this and immediately said:
“What do you think of Minister Raimondo’s proposal?”
Everyone looked at each other and had to admit that although this move was simple, it was very effective.
Especially since this is not the first time they have done this. It is not easy to find a reason to stop the machine for half a year or a year.
No matter how anxious Long Guo is, there is nothing he can do. Once the machine is locked, unless the United States sends a specialist to unlock it, it will be a piece of iron.
No one in this world can forcefully crack it!
"I think this plan is very good!"
"Yes, I also support Minister Raimundo's statement. Block the machines and let Longguo recognize the reality. Without our machines, they can't even produce 28 nanometers!"
"I guess based on their storage capacity, they will come to negotiate with us within a month at most. Then they will still let us make demands!"
"Hahaha, I can already imagine how confused the officials of the Dragon Kingdom will be by then, and they will definitely come to us with loud protests!"
"Smith, what you said is too vivid, Dragon Kingdom will only protest."
Adrian also added:
"In addition to locking all machines, we will also issue an announcement prohibiting any country from exporting chips to Longguo in any way, otherwise it will also be included in our US sanctions list!"
Seeing that no one had any objections, Adrian proposed again.
"Now, everyone will vote with a show of hands. If you agree with this motion, please raise your hands!"
After the words fell, Lei Mengduo was the first to raise his hand. With her taking the lead to pass, the rest of the people also raised their hands.
Adrian smiled when he saw this:
"In that case, everyone, get ready to show some color to the Dragon Kingdom!"
